Liquid crystal panel and liquid crystal display device
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal panel comprising:
- a transparent first substrate;
a second substrate arranged so as to oppose the first substrate with a space therebetween;
liquid crystals in the space between the first substrate and the second substrate and having a twist angle which changes in a plane in parallel with a direction of an electric field;
pixels including thin film transistors (TFT), each TFT having a gate electrode, a drain electrode and a source electrode, the pixels further including pixel electrodes connected to the source electrodes, counter electrodes, the pixels being arranged in M rows and N columns, where M and N are integers of at least two, both of the pixel electrodes and the counter electrodes being provided at the second substrate;
drain lines independently provided for respective columns and connected to the drain electrodes of the pixels belonging to the respective columns;
gate lines independently provided for respective rows and connected to the gate electrodes of the pixels belonging to the respective rows; and
counter lines connected to the counter electrodes;
wherein the counter lines include first counter lines at at least one of odd number columns and odd number rows being connected to the counter electrodes of the pixels belonging to at least one of the odd number columns and the odd number rows and second counter lines at at least one of even number columns and even number rows being connected to the counter electrodes of the pixels belonging to at least one of the even number columns and the even number rows, the first and second counter lines being independent of one another.

Abstract
A liquid crystal panel and a liquid crystal display device including the panel which has a transparent first substrate, a second substrate arranged so as to oppose the first substrate with a space therebetween and liquid crystals filled in the space between the first substrate and the second substrate and having a twist angle which changes in a plane in parallel with a direction of an electric field. The panel has pixels including pixel electrodes connected to source electrodes and counter electrodes with the pixels being arranged in M rows and N columns, where M and N are integers of at least two. Both of the pixel electrodes and the counter electrodes are provided at the second substrate. The panel also includes drain lines independently provided for respective columns, gate lines independently provided for respective rows, and counter lines connected to the counter electrodes. The counter lines include first counter lines at at least one of odd number columns and odd number rows and second counter lines at at least one of even number columns and even number rows with the first and second counter lines being independent of one another.
