In the liquid crystal display panel of a horizontal electric field type, a gate pattern includes a gate electrode provided at a substrate, a gate line connected to the gate electrode and a lower gate pad electrode connected to the gate line. A data line is disposed to cross the gate line and the common line, having a gate insulating film therebetween to thereby define a pixel area. A thin film transistor is positioned at each intersection between the gate line and the data line. A transparent electrode pattern includes a pixel electrode electrically connected to the thin film transistor and disposed such that at least a portion thereof is parallel to the common electrode. An opaque conductive pattern is disposed to overlap with the transparent electrode pattern.
