Abstract
A liquid crystal display includes first and second sub-pixels charged with the same voltage during a first period. The voltage charged in the second sub-pixel is decreased after the first period. Since the voltage level of the first sub-pixel is different from the voltage level of the second sub-pixel after the first period, liquid crystal molecules disposed corresponding to the first sub-pixel are aligned in a direction different from that of liquid crystal molecules disposed corresponding to the second sub-pixel. Thus, a side viewing angle of the liquid crystal display is improved.

A liquid crystal display, comprising:
- a gate line configured to receive a gate-on signal during a first period of a frame period;
- a data line crossing the gate line to receive a data voltage;
- a first sub-pixel connected to the gate line and the data line to receive the data voltage in response to the gate-on signal;
- a second sub-pixel connected to the gate line and the data line to receive the data voltage in response to the gate-on signal;
- a first sharing capacitor including a first electrode and a second electrode electrically connected to the first sub-pixel;
- and
- a connection part electrically connecting the first electrode of the first sharing capacitor to the second sub-pixel after the first period.
A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a second substrate facing the first substrate and including a common electrode;
- and
- a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, the first substrate comprising:
- a gate line configured to receive a gate-on signal during a first period of a frame period;
- a data line crossing the gate line to receive a data voltage;
- a reset line configured to receive a reset signal;
- a first transistor connected to the gate line and the data line to output the data voltage in response to the gate-on signal;
