Liquid crystal display using swing storage electrode and a method for driving the same

A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising:

• a plurality of gate lines extending in a row direction and transmitting scanning signals;
• a plurality of data lines extending in a column direction and transmitting picture signals;
• a plurality of storage electrode lines extending in the column direction and transmitting storage voltages, the storage electrode lines and the data lines being alternately arranged;
• and
• a plurality of pixels, each of the pixels including a pixel electrode, each storage electrode line intersecting the pixel electrodes corresponding thereto,
• wherein a storage capacitance of each pixel is formed between the pixel electrode and the storage electrode line corresponding thereto.

A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising:

• a plurality of gate lines extending in a first direction and transmitting scanning signals;
• a plurality of data lines extending in a second direction and transmitting picture signals;
• a plurality of storage electrode lines extending in the first direction and transmitting storage voltages, the storage electrode lines and the gate lines being alternately arranged;
• and
• a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, each of the pixels including a first pixel electrode overlapping the storage electrode line corresponding thereto;
• and
• a plurality of switching elements provided corresponding to the pixels, respectively, each switching element connected to the corresponding gate line and data line,
• wherein storage capacitances of the pixels on the same row are alternately formed between the first pixel electrodes and two neighboring storage electrodes lines.
