Patent ID: 7940346

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising: a first gate line and a second gate line extending in a first direction; a data line insulated from the first gate line and crossing the first gate line; a pixel electrode comprising a first sub-pixel electrode and a second sub-pixel electrode, the pixel electrode being disposed in a pixel having a long side in the first direction; a first thin film transistor (TFT) connected to the first gate line, the data line, and the first sub-pixel electrode; a second TFT connected to the first gate line, the data line, and the second sub-pixel electrode; a third TFT connected to the second gate line, the second sub-pixel electrode, and a charge-sharing capacitor, the charge-sharing capacitor sharing a data voltage applied to the second sub-pixel electrode; and a third gate line disposed parallel to and between the first gate line and the second gate line.
