Patent ID: 8373811

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a plurality of data lines, each of the data lines being adapted to receive a corresponding data signal; a plurality of gate lines, each of the gate lines being adapted to receive a corresponding gate signal; a plurality of common lines for receiving a common voltage; and a plurality of columns of pixel units, each column of pixel units comprising a plurality of pixel units, an nth pixel unit of an mth column of pixel units in the columns of pixel units comprising: a first liquid-crystal capacitor comprising a first end coupled to a corresponding common line of the common lines, and a second end; a second liquid-crystal capacitor comprising a first end coupled to the corresponding common line, and a second end; a first switch comprising a first end coupled to the second end of the first liquid-crystal capacitor, a gate coupled to a corresponding gate line of the gate lines, and a second end coupled to a first data line of the data lines; and a second switch comprising a first end coupled to the second end of the second liquid-crystal capacitor, a gate coupled to the corresponding gate line, and a second end coupled to the first end of the first switch of a different pixel unit, wherein the different pixel unit is a (n+x)th pixel unit of the mth column of pixel units; wherein m and n are positive integers, and x is an even number; wherein the second end of the first switch of the different pixel unit is coupled to the first data line.
