Abstract

A display device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: a plurality of pixels including switching elements; a plurality of pairs of first and second gate lines connected to the switching elements and separated from each other, transmitting a gate-on voltage for turning on the switching elements; and a plurality of data lines connected to the switching elements, transmitting data signals, wherein each pair of first and second gate lines is disposed between two adjacent pixel rows and is connected to one of the pixel rows.

Claims (32)

1. A display device comprising:

a plurality of pixels including switching elements, wherein the pixels are arranged in pixel rows and pixel columns;

a plurality of pairs of first and second gate lines connected to the switching elements, transmitting a gate-on voltage for turning on the switching elements; and

a plurality of data lines connected to the switching elements,

wherein each pair of first and second gate lines is disposed between two adjacent pixel rows and connected to the switching elements of one of the pixel rows,

wherein pairs of pixels are disposed between adjacent data lines,

wherein the switching elements of a pair of adjacent pixels disposed between adjacent data lines are connected to the same first gate line or to the same second gate line, and

wherein each of the data lines is connected to the switching elements of two adjacent pixel columns.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first gate line is closer to the one of the pixel rows than the second gate line, and is supplied with the gate-on voltage earlier than the second gate line.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the two adjacent pixel columns are disposed opposite each other with respect to one of the data lines.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein two adjacent pixels in a column are connected to the first and the second gate lines, respectively.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each of the data lines is disposed between alternate pixel columns.

6. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second gate line is disposed farther from the pixel row than the first gate line, and wherein the connection between the switching elements of the pixel row and the data lines is routed between the first gate line and the second gate line.

7. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first gate driver connected to the first gate lines; and

a second gate driver connected to the second gate lines.

8. The display device of claim 1 , wherein two adjacent gate lines are simultaneously supplied with the gate-on voltage, at least in part.

9. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the display device executes column inversion or line inversion.

10. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first gate lines of the pairs of first and second gate lines are closer to the pixel rows they connect to than the second gate lines of the pairs of first and second gate lines.

11. The display device of claim 1 , wherein each pixel of the pair of adjacent pixels connects to its closest data line, and the first or second gate line to which the pair of adjacent pixels is connected alternates with each pixel row.

12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the switching elements of two pixels on opposite sides of the same data line connect to the same data line.

13. A display device comprising:

a plurality of pixels including switching elements, wherein the pixels are arranged in pixel rows and pixel columns;

a plurality of pairs of first and second gate lines connected to the switching elements, transmitting a gate-on voltage for turning on the switching elements; and

a plurality of data lines connected to the switching elements, wherein each pair of first and second gate lines is disposed between two adjacent pixel rows and connected to the switching elements of one of the pixel rows,

wherein pairs of pixels are disposed between adjacent data lines, and

wherein two adjacent pixels in a same column are connected to different data lines.

14. The display device of claim 13 , wherein the first gate line is closer to one of the pixel rows than the second gate line, and is supplied with the gate-on voltage earlier than the second gate line.

15. The display device of claim 13 , wherein each of the data lines is connected to the switching elements of two adjacent pixel columns.

16. The display device of claim 15 , wherein two adjacent pixels in a column are connected to the first and the second gate lines, respectively.

17. The display device of claim 13 , wherein the second gate line is disposed farther from a pixel row than the first gate line, and wherein the connection between switching elements of the pixel row and the data lines is routed between the first gate line and the second gate line.

18. The display device of claim 15 , wherein two adjacent gate lines are simultaneously supplied with the gate-on voltage, at least in part.
