Patent ID: 7924387

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising: an upper substrate; a lower substrate comprising a pixel array having plural first pixel areas and plural second pixel areas arranged alternatively, each of the first pixel areas and the second pixel areas being defined by a pair of scan lines and a pair of data lines, the pixel array comprising: plural first pixel electrodes, each of the first pixel electrodes comprising a first connecting part and two first sub-pixel electrodes, each first sub-pixel electrode having at least three corners, the two first sub-pixel electrodes being diagonally connected through the first connecting part at respective corners of the two first sub-pixel electrodes and separately located on one of the first pixel areas and one of the second pixel areas located adjacently; plural second pixel electrodes, each of the second pixel electrodes comprising a second connecting part and two second sub-pixel electrodes, each second sub-pixel electrode having at least three corners, the two second sub-pixel electrodes being diagonally connected through the second connecting part at respective corners of the two second sub-pixel electrodes and separately located on one of the first pixel areas and one of the second pixel areas located adjacently in such a manner that one of the two first sub-pixel electrodes and one of the two second sub-pixel electrodes are disposed side by side in a same one of the first pixel areas or in a same one of the second pixel areas, wherein the second pixel electrode and the first pixel electrode have opposite polarities; and plural first switches, disposed on the first pixel areas, for controlling the first pixel electrodes, respectively; plural second switches, disposed on the second pixel areas, for controlling the second pixel electrodes, respectively; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the upper substrate and the lower substrate.
