Patent ID: 8736781

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first gate line and a second gate line on a first substrate; a first data line and a second data line crossing the first and second gate lines to define a pixel region; a first thin film transistor connected to the first gate line and the first data line; a second thin film transistor connected to the first gate line and the second data line; a first pixel electrode in the pixel region, the first pixel electrode being connected to the first thin film transistor and including at least one opening therein; a second pixel electrode in the pixel region, the second pixel electrode being connected to the second thin film transistor and including at least one opening therein; a common electrode on a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer between the second pixel electrode and the common electrode; a third data line crossing the first and second gate lines to define another pixel region along with the second data line; a third thin film transistor in the another pixel region and connected to the second gate line and the second data line; a fourth thin film transistor in the another pixel region, the fourth thin film transistor being connected to the second gate line and the third data line; and one of red, green, and blue color filter patterns between the second substrate and the common electrode and corresponding to the pixel region, wherein the at least one opening of the first pixel electrode does not overlap the at least one opening of the second pixel electrode.
