Patent ID: 8098342

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a plurality of pixels, wherein a first pixel and a second pixel of the plurality of the pixels respectively include a first thin film transistor and a second thin film transistor and a pixel electrode connected to the first thin film transistor and the second thin film transistors, and wherein a shielding electrode is formed on the same layer as the pixel electrode and connected to the second thin film transistor of the first pixel; a first gate line transmitting a first gate signal and connected to the first thin film transistor of the first pixel; a second gate line transmitting a second gate signal and connected to the second thin film transistor of the first pixel, wherein the second gate signal is applied to the first thin film transistor of the second pixel; and a data line transmitting a data signal and connected to the first thin film transistor of the first pixel, wherein the second thin film transistor of the first pixel receives a common voltage from the shielding electrode and transmits the common voltage to the pixel electrode of the first pixel according to the second gate signal, wherein after the pixel electrode is pre-charged by the second thin film transistor of the first pixel, the pixel electrode is charged by the first thin film transistor of the first pixel.
