Abstract
A pixel in IPS LCDs according to the embodiments of the present invention is symmetrical with respect to a data line and a gate line. The data line longitudinally passes through the center of the pixel, and the gate line transversely passes through the center of the pixel. A pixel is confined to an area enclosed by two adjacent transverse common electrode lines and four longitudinal common electrodes which are branches of the common electrode lines. Among the four common electrodes, two are connected to one of the two common electrode lines, and the other two are connected to the other of the common electrode lines. Each pixel has two longitudinal common electrodes overlapped with the data line, four longitudinal pixel electrodes arranged between the common electrodes and two two-channel TFTs. Each pixel further has two storage electrodes overlapped with the pixel electrodes and electrically connected to the gate line. The storage electrode and the pixel electrode together form a storage capacitor.
