LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY AND THIN FILM TRANSISTOR ARRAY PANEL THEREFOR

摘要

A liquid crystal display (LCD) is provided, which includes: first and second gate lines, a data line intersecting the gate lines, first to fourth drain electrodes located near the intersections between the first and second gate lines and the data line, and a coupling electrode. First to fourth pixel electrodes respectively connected to the first to fourth drain electrodes are also provided, and the first pixel electrode is connected to the coupling electrode while the fourth pixel electrode overlaps the coupling electrode. The LCD further includes a common electrode opposite the pixel electrodes, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pixel electrodes and the common electrode, and a domain partitioning member formed on at least one of the pixel electrode and the common electrode. Two long edges of the domains are angled with respect to the first and the second gate lines or the data line substantially by about 45°.

主权项

1. A liquid crystal display, comprising:
a first substrate; a plurality of pixels, at least one of the pixels comprising a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate; a second substrate facing the first substrate; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the liquid crystal layer on each of the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode is divided into a plurality of domains, each of the plurality of domains being defined by a direction of liquid crystal molecules when an electric field is applied, wherein a voltage present at the first pixel electrode is different from a voltage present at the second pixel electrode, wherein the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode are formed on a same layer, wherein a difference between a first gamma curve for a :front view of the liquid crystal display and a second gamma curve for a lateral view of the liquid crystal display is decreased when data voltages are applied to the pixels.
