Abstract:
A thin film transistor array substrate including a substrate, a gate line intersecting a data line to define a pixel region on the substrate, a switching element disposed at an intersection of the gate line and the data line, a plurality of pixel electrodes and a plurality of first common electrodes alternately arranged on a protective film in the pixel region, a second common electrode overlapping the data line, a first storage electrode on the substrate, a second storage electrode overlapping the first storage electrode, and an organic insulation film on the switching element, the second storage electrode, the data line, a gate pad, and a data pad, wherein the second common electrode covers the data line, the protective film and the organic insulation film, and has inclined surfaces connected to the protective film within the pixel region.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device of a horizontal electric field type is disclosed. The LCD device is fabricated by a three-mask process, and has gate pad, common pad and data pad electrodes, each including a upper electrode formed of a transparent conductive material. With a lift-off process, these upper electrodes are formed within contact holes.
