Patent ID: 8854561

Claim:
A liquid crystal display panel comprising: a plurality of pixels arranged in a plurality of rows and columns; and a plurality of data lines, each for providing data signals to the pixels in a column, wherein each of some or all of the pixels comprises: a first gate line and a second gate line different from the first gate line, the first gate line for providing a first gate-line signal; the second gate line for providing a second gate-line signal after the first gate-line signal has passed, the second gate-line signal different from the first gate-line signal; a first sub-pixel area; and a second sub-pixel area, wherein the first sub-pixel area comprises a first sub-pixel electrode electrically connected to a first charge-storage capacitor, the first sub-pixel electrode arranged to receive the data signals from one of the data lines via a first switching element, the first switching element comprising a control end arranged to receive the first gate-line signal for switching; and the second sub-pixel area comprises a second sub-pixel electrode electrically connected to a second charge-storage capacitor, the second sub-pixel electrode arranged to receive said data signals from said one of the data lines via a second switching element, the second switching element comprising a control end arranged to receive the first gate-line signal for switching, wherein the second sub-pixel electrode is further connected to a third capacitor via a third switching element, the third switching element comprising a control end arranged to receive the second gate-line signal for switching, wherein the plurality of rows comprise a first row and a second row, and wherein the first gate-line signal is provided to the pixels in the second row for switching in the pixels in the second row after the first gate-line signal is provided to the pixels in the first row for switching in the pixels in the first row, and the second gate-line signal is provided to the pixels in the first row for switching in the pixels in the first row after the first gate-line signal is provided to the pixels in the second row for switching in the pixels in the second row, such that the first gate-line signal provided to the pixels in the second row and the first gate-line signal provided to the pixels in the first row have an overlapped period and non-overlapped periods.
