Patent ID: 7259812

Claim:
An in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device, comprising: a plurality of pixels each including R (Red), G (Green), B (Blue) and W (White) subpixels defined by a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines; a driving element in each subpixel; and at least one pair of electrodes disposed in each subpixel to form a horizontal electric field, wherein the R, G, B, and W subpixels of each pixel are arranged in a zigzag pattern in a data line direction, and wherein the arrangement of R, G, B, and W subpixels of a pixel is symmetric with respect to the gate line to the arrangement of R, G, B, and W subpixels of an adjacent pixel of the plurality of pixels, and wherein each W subpixel of adjacent pixels of the plurality of pixels is not adjacent to another W subpixel.
