Abstract
A liquid crystal display (LCD) is provided that includes: a first substrate; a gate line formed on the first substrate; a data line intersecting the gate line to define a pixel; a thin-film transistor (TFT) connected to the gate line and the data line and formed in the pixel; a sustain electrode line including a first sustain electrode that passes through the pixel, so as to divide the pixel into a first region and a transparent second region, and a second sustain electrodes that extend perpendicularly from the first sustain electrode; and a first pixel electrode connected to the TFT, disposed in the first region.
Claims22
A liquid crystal display (LCD) comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a gate line disposed on the first substrate;
- a data line extending across the gate line, so as to at least partially define a pixel;
- a thin-film transistor (TFT) disposed in the pixel and connected to the gate line and the data line;
- a sustain electrode line disposed on the substrate and comprising:
- a first sustain electrode that divides the pixel into a first region and a transparent second region;
- and
- second sustain electrodes that extend perpendicularly from the first sustain electrode, into the first region;
- a first pixel electrode connected to the TFT, disposed in the first region, and overlapping the second sustain electrodes;
- a second substrate disposed facing the first substrate;
- and
- a color filter disposed on the second substrate so as to cover the first region and expose the second region.
