Patent ID: 7777820

Claim:
An array substrate comprising: a first thin-film transistor (TFT) electrically connected to a gate line and a data line; a second TFT electrically connected to the gate line and the data line; a first pixel electrode electrically connected to the first TFT; a second pixel electrode electrically connected to the second TFT; and a storage line positioned in an overlapping relationship with the first and second pixel electrodes, wherein the overlap defines a first area of the storage line associated with the first pixel electrode, and a second area of the storage line associated with the second pixel electrode, and further wherein a magnitude of the first area is different from a magnitude of the second area; wherein the storage line crosses with the gate line, wherein the gate line is one of a plurality of gate lines formed in the array substrate and extending along a first direction, the data line is one of a plurality of data lines formed in the array substrate and extending along a second, different direction from the first direction thereby forming a plurality of unit pixels, and wherein the first pixel electrode is one of a plurality of first pixel electrodes formed in the array substrate, the second pixel electrode is one of a plurality of second pixel electrodes formed in the array substrate, each unit pixel comprising a respective one of the first pixel electrodes and a respective one of the second pixel electrodes, wherein: the unit pixels comprise a plurality of columns of unit pixels, the columns comprising even-numbered columns and odd-numbered columns; and the storage line is one of a plurality of storage lines formed in the array substrate, the plurality of storage lines comprising a plurality of first storage lines and a plurality of second storage lines; each first storage line overlaps the first and second pixel electrodes that are disposed in a respective one of the odd-numbered columns of the unit pixels; and each second storage line overlaps the first and second pixel electrodes that are disposed in a respective one of the even-numbered columns of the unit pixels.
