Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing an in-plane switching liquid crystal display device, comprising: forming a gate line in a transverse direction on a substrate; forming a data line in a direction substantially perpendicular to the gate line; forming a thin film transistor at a crossing of the gate line and the data line; forming a common line in the transverse direction; forming first and second common electrodes of a same material as the gate line, the first and second common electrodes extending from the common line, one of the first and second common electrodes being disposed adjacent to the data line; forming a third common electrode between the first and second common electrodes of a transparent conductive material; forming a common electrode connector to extend from the third common electrode to one of the first and second common electrodes; forming a plurality of pixel electrodes between the common electrodes, at least one of the plurality of pixel electrodes crossing the common line and contacting the thin film transistor through a second contact hole, the plurality of pixel electrodes being of the same material as the third common electrode; and forming a pixel electrode connector over the gate line, the pixel electrode connector connecting the plurality of pixel electrodes.
