Patent ID: 8355090

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a plurality of gate lines including gate line, a second gate line and a third gate line each extending in a first direction; a plurality of data lines including a first data line and a second data line each extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; a first pixel formed between the first gate line, the second gate line, the first data line and the second data line, and having a first subpixel configured to have applied thereto a first data voltage and a second subpixel configured to have applied thereto a second data voltage lower than the first data voltage; a second pixel formed between the second gate line, the third gate line, the first data line and the second data line, and having a third subpixel configured to have applied thereto a third data voltage and a fourth subpixel configured to have applied thereto a fourth data voltage lower than the third data voltage, wherein the first subpixel and the third subpixel are connected to a first thin film transistor and a third thin film transistor respectively, the first thin film transistor and the third thin film transistor have source electrodes connected to the first data line and the second data line respectively, and each of the source electrodes has an open portion surrounding a portion of a drain electrode, and wherein an open direction of the source electrode of the first thin film transistor is opposite to an open direction of the source electrode of the third thin film transistor.
