Patent ID: 8755014

Claim:
A display panel comprising: a first substrate; a gate line disposed on the first substrate; a data line intersecting the gate line; and a first electrode having a first electrode portion disposed above the substrate, the first electrode portion having two pairs of main edges facing each other and a first cutout oblique to the main edges, wherein the main edges include first and second edges, the first electrode portion has an oblique edge substantially parallel to the first cutout, the oblique edge connecting the first edge and the second edge, the first edge includes a first portion extending from the oblique edge to an end of the first cutout and a second portion substantially parallel to the data line, and wherein the first portion of the first edge is oblique with respect to the second portion of the first edge, the first portion of the first edge is oblique with respect to the oblique edge and the second edge extends across a central part of the first electrode in a direction substantially parallel to the gate line to define a side of a second cutout in the first edge of the first electrode portion, wherein the first edge of the first electrode portion is adjacent to the data line and the second cutout runs parallel to the gate line.
