Abstract
A pixel electrode arrangement for use in color liquid crystal display devices provides that on every other row the color filter pixels and their associated transparent electrodes are split symmetrically by the data drive line. Data voltages are supplied to the split electrode pair either by two FETs or by an appropriately insulated conductive bridge extending between split electrode pads. The configuration provided exhibits the advantages inherent in a staggered triad color arrangement without the penalty of decreased data bus pitch or of increased bus overlap. Furthermore, the fraction of the total display area utilized by transmitted light is maintained at a high fraction of the total display area.
