US Patent 7920219 Liquid crystal display device and method of manufacturing the same

A liquid crystal display (“LCD”) device includes a first thin film transistor (“TFT”) applying a high gray-scale data signal supplied from a first data line to a first pixel electrode, an upper electrode connected to the first pixel electrode through a first contact hole, and directly connected to the first TFT, a first storage capacitor storing the high gray-scale data signal, a second TFT applying a low gray-scale data signal supplied from a second data line to a second pixel electrode through a second contact hole, an upper electrode connected to the second pixel electrode through a third contact hole, and a second storage capacitor storing the low gray-scale data signal.
