Abstract

A display panel includes a high pixel electrode including a first stem which extends substantially in a first direction, and a second stem which extends substantially in a second direction crossing the first direction, a low pixel electrode including a first stem which extends substantially in the first direction, and a second stem which extends substantially in the second direction, a data line which extends in the second direction, a high storage line which extends substantially in the second direction and overlaps the second stem of the high pixel electrode, and a low storage line which extends substantially in the second direction and overlaps the second stem of the low pixel electrode.

Claims (40)

1. A display panel comprising:

a high pixel electrode comprising:

a first stem which extends substantially in a first direction; and

a second stem which extends substantially in a second direction crossing the first direction;

a low pixel electrode comprising:

a first stem which extends substantially in the first direction; and

a second stem which extends substantially in the second direction;

a data line which extends in the second direction;

a high storage line which extends substantially in the second direction and overlaps the second stem of the high pixel electrode; and

a low storage line which extends substantially in the second direction and overlaps the second stem of the low pixel electrode.

2. The display panel of claim 1 , further comprising:

a connecting electrode which electrically connects the high storage line to the low storage line.

3. The display panel of claim 2 , wherein the connecting electrode comprises a material substantially the same as a material of the high and low pixel electrode.

4. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein

the high storage line comprises:

a first high storage line which extends substantially in the first direction; and

a second high storage line which extends substantially in the second direction and is connected to the first high storage line, and

the low storage line comprises:

a first low storage line which extends substantially in the first direction; and

a second low storage line which extends substantially in the second direction, and is connected to the first low storage line.

5. The display panel of claim 4 , wherein

the second high storage line is disposed between the data line and a data line of an adjacent pixel, and

the second low storage line is disposed between the data line and the data line of the adjacent pixel.

6. The display panel of claim 4 , wherein

the first high storage line extends through adjacent pixels, and

the first low storage line extends through the adjacent pixels.

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

a gate line which extends substantially in the first direction and disposed between the high pixel electrode and the low pixel electrode.

8. The display panel of claim 1 , further comprising:

a gate line which extends substantially in the first direction;

an adjacent gate line spaced apart from the gate line in the second direction, and which extends substantially in the first direction, wherein the gate line and the adjacent gate line receive a same gate signal;

a first switching element electrically connected to the gate line, the data line and the high pixel electrode;

a second switching element electrically connected to the gate line, the data line and the low pixel electrode; and

a third switching element electrically connected to the gate line, the second switching element and the high storage line.

9. The display panel of claim 8 , wherein

the high pixel electrode further comprises a plurality of branches which extends from the first and second stems of the high pixel electrode, wherein the high pixel electrode has a slit structure defined by the branches,

the low pixel electrode further comprises a plurality of branches which extends from the first and second stems of the low pixel electrode, wherein the low pixel electrode has a slit structure defined by the branches.

10. The display panel of claim 9 , wherein

the first high pixel electrode is divided into four domains by the first and second stems thereof, and

the low pixel electrode is divided into four domains by the first and second stems thereof.
