Abstract:
1. An array substrate for an in-plane switching liquid crystal display device, comprising: a substrate; a gate line and a data line on the substrate, the gate line and the data line crossing each other to define a pixel region; a thin film transistor being electrically connected to the gate line and the data line; a common line parallel to the gate line; a plurality of common electrodes perpendicularly extended from the common line; a gate insulator formed over said common electrode; a plurality of pixel electrodes formed on the gate insulator and alternating with the plurality of common electrodes; and an overcoat layer over the plurality of common and pixel electrodes, the overcoat layer having a plurality of holes exposing a portion of the gate insulator, wherein the plurality of holes are over the plurality of common and pixel electrodes, wherein the plurality of holes over the plurality of common electrodes form a first line and the plurality of holes over the plurality of pixel electrodes form a second line, the plurality of holes of the first line being spaced apart from the plurality of holes of the second line.
