Patent ID: 8274617

Claim:
A display device comprising: a first substrate; a switch element disposed on the first substrate a pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate, the pixel electrode comprising a first portion, a second portion, and a connection portion disposed between the first and second portions, and electrically connecting the first and second portions with each other; a capacitor line disposed on the first substrate, and between the first substrate and the connection portion of the pixel electrode; a first capacitor electrode disposed on the first substrate substantially in a nonsymmetrical shape in a plan view, the first capacitor electrode overlapping the pixel electrode; a second capacitor electrode disposed on the first substrate, overlapping the first capacitor electrode and electrically connected to the capacitor line; an insulating layer including a first contact hole, and a second contact hole, the insulating layer disposed between the switch element and the pixel electrode, and between the first capacitor electrode and the pixel electrode; a second substrate; and a common electrode disposed on the second substrate, and comprising a first opening pattern and a second opening pattern disposed overlapping the first portion and the second portion of the pixel electrode, respectively, wherein the pixel electrode is electrically connected to a terminal of the switch element through the first contact hole and to the first capacitor electrode through the second contact hole.
