Patent ID: 8194057

Claim:
A display apparatus, comprising: a first substrate comprising a main gate line, a sub-gate line, a data line, and a pixel, the pixel comprising a main pixel connected to the main gate line and the data line and a sub-pixel connected to the sub-gate line and the data line; a second substrate coupled with the first substrate and facing the first substrate; a main gate driver to apply a first main gate pulse to the main gate line for a first period, the main gate line being connected to a gate of a main thin film transistor of the main pixel to supply the first main gate pulse to the gate; a sub-gate driver to apply a sub-gate pulse to the sub-gate line during a second period, wherein the second period comprises a portion of the first period; and a data driver to apply a sub-pixel voltage to the data line during the second period, and to apply a main pixel voltage to the data line during a third period comprising a portion of the first period that is separate from the second period.
