Patent ID: 8174018

Claim:
A display device, comprising: a first gate line and a second gate line that extend in parallel with each other; a data line crossing the first gate line and the second gate line and forming a pixel region with the first gate line and the second gate line; a first thin film transistor connected to the first gate line and the data line; a second thin film transistor connected to the first gate line and the data line; a pixel electrode disposed in the pixel region and comprising a main pixel electrode and a sub pixel electrode, the main pixel electrode and the sub pixel electrode being respectively connected to the first thin film transistor and the second thin film transistor; a control thin film transistor connected to the second gate line and the sub pixel electrode; and a gate driver to output a first gate signal to the first gate line and a second gate signal to the second gate line, the first gate signal to activate the first gate line during a first time and a second time following the first time, and the second gate signal to activate the second gate line during the first time but not the second time.
