Driving waveforms of (a) conventional and (b) proposed pixel structures and (c) TFT transfer characteristics for conventional (black) and proposed (blue) structures with LC voltage, +/−VLC; the enhanced TFT characteristics with Vth larger than |VLC| are necessary to maintain the OFF state when a positive Vgp = + VLC is applied to TFT in the proposed pixel structures without the common line (Vg(m − 1): gate voltage of (m − 1)-th gate line, Vg(m): gate voltage of m-th gate line, Vd: drain voltage, Vc: common voltage, Vp: pixel voltage, Vgp: voltage between gate and pixel, tON: duration of TFT ON state, tOFF: duration of TFT OFF state).
