A first connection line is connected to the first driving thin film transistor and the first synchronization adjusting thin film transistor. The first connection line overlaps a conductive line along a direction of extension of the conductive line. First and second pixel electrodes are connected to the first synchronization adjusting thin film transistor and the second driving thin film transistor, respectively.

A gate driving method and apparatus for a liquid crystal display panel is disclosed that minimizes deterioration of picture quality caused by a variation in a gate low voltage. A liquid crystal cell matrix is defined by intersections between gate lines and data lines having corresponding thin film transistors. A gate driver applies a gate high voltage, which is at least equal to the turn-on voltages of the thin film transistors, to the gate lines in a corresponding period, and applies an independent gate low voltage to the gate lines divided into a plurality of blocks as turn-off voltages of the thin film transistors in each block.
Abstract:
A method of forming an alignment layer with a multi-domain is provided. The alignment layer is formed on a substrate. A mask having a transmission part and a shielding part is aligned over the substrate. First and second alignment directions in the alignment layer are formed by irradiating an ion beam onto the substrate at different irradiation angles. Using the aforementioned ion-beam irradiation process eliminates the need for multiple rubbing processes to create the multi-domain alignment layer.

The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for driving a liquid crystal display device suitable for enhancing a picture quality. More specifically, in the method and apparatus, source data is modulated based on registered data that is previously provided therein. The modulated data is applied to a liquid crystal panel at the initial period of one frame period. A data different from the modulated data is supplied to the liquid crystal panel at the later period of the frame period.

In order to prevent exposure mismatch on a boundary between exposure regions that causes pattern connection defects (including stitch defects), exposure is performed twice or more on a whole exposure region of a glass substrate. The exposure method includes aligning a reticle in a scanning direction, exposing the reticle pattern onto the glass substrate, moving the glass substrate one-half of the width of the reticle, and exposing an exposure area twice by repeating the exposing and moving steps.

A method of fabricating a color filter in a liquid crystal display device includes providing a plurality of clichnulls in which grooves are formed, filling color inks and a black resin in the grooves of the clichnulls, applying the color inks in the clichnulls onto a substrate to form a color filter, and applying a black resin in one of the clichnulls onto the color filter. The color inks and black resin are transferred to the clichnulls from an ink supply container via an ink supplying roller and from the clichnulls to the substrate via a printing roller.
