Abstract:
1. An IPS (in-plane switching) liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; liquid crystal molecules interposed between the substrates; a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines formed on the first substrate, thereby defining a plurality of pixel regions; and at least one pixel electrode, at least one common electrode, and a TFT (thin film transistor) provided in each pixel region; wherein said at least one pixel electrode and said at least one common electrode have a same curved shape, and are uniformly spaced apart from each other; and a path defining the curved shape of said at least one pixel electrode and said at least one common electrode satisfies the following equation: where x and y are Cartesian coordinates of any point along the path, A is the interval between adjacent said at least one pixel and common electrodes, and L is the length of said at least one pixel electrode or said at least one common electrode along the y axis.
