Display panel

A display panel, comprising:

• a first substrate comprising a plurality of pixels;
• 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 pixels,
• wherein each pixel comprises:
• a first data line and a second data line;
• a gate line crossing the first data line and the second data line and insulated from the first data line and the second data line;
• a first switching device connected to the first data line and the gate line;
• a second switching device connected to the second data line and the gate line;
• a first pixel electrode connected to the first switching device;
• a second pixel electrode connected to the second switching device;
• a first coupling capacitor connected to the first switching device in parallel with the first pixel electrode;
• a second coupling capacitor connected to the second switching device in parallel with the second pixel electrode;
• a third pixel electrode connected to the first pixel electrode in parallel through the first coupling capacitor;
• and
• a fourth pixel electrode connected to the second pixel electrode in parallel through the second coupling capacitor.

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;
• and
• a pixel electrode connected to the switching device, and
• wherein the pixel electrode is divided into a first portion to a jth portion, j being a natural number not less than 2, and a first thickness of the liquid crystal layer, which is a thickness of the is liquid crystal layer interposed between the first portion and the second substrate, is different from a jth thickness of the liquid crystal layer, which is a thickness of the liquid crystal layer interposed between the jth portion and the second substrate.
