Abstract:
An in-plane switching liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate and a second substrate, a gate line and a data line on the first substrate to define a pixel region, a floating line adjacent to a lower portion of the data line, a thin film transistor at an intersection between the gate and data lines, a passivation layer on the thin film transistor and the pixel region, a common electrode overlapping the data line, a pixel electrode separated from the common electrode at a predetermined interval, and a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates.
