Patent ID: 8848122

Claim:
A display apparatus comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and including liquid crystal molecules; and a plurality of pixels, wherein each pixel comprises: a gate line extended in a first direction; a data line extended in a second direction crossing the first direction; a first storage line extended in the first direction and spaced apart from the gate line; a second storage line extended in the first direction and spaced apart from the gate line and the first storage line; a first switching device electrically connected to the gate line and the data line; a second switching device electrically connected to the gate line and the data line; a first liquid crystal capacitor connected to the first switching device, the first liquid crystal capacitor including the liquid crystal layer as a dielectric substance; a second liquid crystal capacitor connected to the second switching device, the second liquid crystal capacitor including the liquid crystal layer as a dielectric substance; a first storage capacitor connected to the first switching device and one of the first and second storage lines; a second storage capacitor connected to the second switching device and the other one of the first and second storage lines, wherein the first storage capacitor included in one of two pixels adjacent to each other in the first direction is connected between the first switching device and the first storage line and the first storage capacitor included in a remaining one of the two pixels adjacent to each other in the first direction is connected between the first switching device and the second storage line; and a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode arranged in the second direction, wherein the gate line is disposed between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode, the first storage line is disposed between the first pixel electrode and the gate line, and the second storage line is disposed between the second pixel electrode and the gate line.
