Patent ID: 8922469

Claim:
A display panel comprising: a first sub-pixel electrode and a second sub-pixel electrode disposed directly on a same surface of a same layer that alternate with each other on said same surface to form a horizontal electric field; a first data line transmitting a first data voltage to the first sub-pixel electrode; and a second data line transmitting a second data voltage to the second sub-pixel electrode, wherein the second sub-pixel electrode overlaps the first and second data lines, wherein the second sub-pixel electrode includes a plurality of second stripes that extend in parallel to and alternate with a plurality of first stripes of the first sub-pixel electrode, and second connecting portions connecting the second stripes and partially overlapping the first and second data lines, wherein said plurality of second stripes extend diagonal in a straight line to the second connecting portions, wherein each of the plurality of second stripes includes a first end connected to the second connecting portions, and an unconnected second end, wherein an absolute value of the first data voltage is the same as that of the second data voltage, the first data voltage has a first polarity, and the second data voltage has a second polarity different from the first polarity, and wherein in response to a change in the polarities of the first and second data voltages applied to the first and second data lines, the absolute value of a voltage variation of the second sub-pixel electrode based on a first parasitic capacitor between the first data line and the second sub-pixel electrode is the same with that of a voltage variation of the second sub-pixel electrode based on a second parasitic capacitor between the second data line and the second sub-pixel electrode.
