A liquid crystal display device including a gate line formed on a first substrate; first and second adjacent data lines crossing the gate line to form adjacent pixel regions in an extended direction of the gate line; only one pixel electrode line in parallel with the first data line in each of the pixel regions; a plurality of pixel electrodes formed to be protruded in the extended direction of the gate line from the pixel electrode line; a plurality of common electrodes alternately formed in parallel with the plurality of pixel electrodes and generating an in-plane electric field therebetween; and an alignment film having a rubbing direction perpendicular to the first data line.
