Patent ID: 8582059

Claim:
A display panel, comprising: a first substrate comprising a plurality of pixels, each of the pixels comprising at least one gray scale expression unit to express at least two gray scales; a second substrate facing the first substrate; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and subject to a phase transition depending on a voltage generated in relation to the gray scale expression unit, wherein the gray scale expression unit comprises: a data line; a gate line crossing the data line and insulated from the data line; a switching device connected to the data line and the gate line; a first pixel electrode connected to the switching device; at least one coupling capacitor connected in parallel to the first pixel electrode; and at least one second pixel electrode connected to the first pixel electrode in parallel through the coupling capacitor, and wherein the coupling capacitor comprises a first electrode connected to the first pixel electrode and a second electrode connected to the second pixel electrode through a contact hole.
