Patent ID: 8345178

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising a plurality of data lines and a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, wherein the plurality of pixels include a first pixel and a second pixel, and each of the first pixel and the second pixel includes: a first subpixel electrode and a second subpixel electrode; a first switching element including a first drain electrode connected to the first subpixel electrode and a first source electrode opposing the first drain electrode; a second switching element including a second drain electrode connected to the second subpixel electrode and a second source electrode opposing the second drain electrode; a third switching element including a third source electrode connected to the second drain electrode and a third drain electrode opposing the third source electrode; and a voltage-changing capacitor including the third drain electrode and a common voltage line transmitting a common voltage as its two terminals, wherein the first source electrode and the second source electrode of the first pixel are connected to a data line of the plurality of data lines, the first source electrode and the second source electrode of the second pixel are disconnected from any of the plurality of data lines, and the two terminals of the voltage-changing capacitor of the second pixel are shorted to each other.
