Abstract

A display device includes a plurality of transparent voltage-dividing common electrodes and a plurality of pixel units. The transparent voltage-dividing common electrodes are electrically isolated from each other in a first direction. Each of the pixel units includes a first pixel electrode, a second pixel electrode, and a voltage-dividing switch. The first pixel electrode is configured to receive a data voltage. The second pixel electrode is configured to receive the data voltage. The voltage-dividing switch is configured to divide the data voltage on the second pixel electrode to one of the transparent voltage-dividing common electrodes.
