Abstract:
An in-plane switching mode LCD panel comprising a LC layer, and first and second panels sandwiching therebetween said LC layer to define a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, said first panel including:a plurality of data lines each disposed for a corresponding column of said pixels; a plurality of scanning lines each disposed for a corresponding row of said pixels; a common electrode line disposed for said plurality of pixels, each of said pixels including a pixel electrode, a common electrode connected to said common electrode line, and a TFT having a source connected to said pixel electrode, a drain connected to a corresponding one of said data lines and a gate connected to a corresponding one of said scanning lines; at least one common terminal connected to an end of said common electrode line; a plurality of data terminals each connected to an end of a corresponding one of said data lines; a plurality of first scanning terminals each connected to one of end of a corresponding one of said scanning lines; and a plurality of second scanning terminals each connected to the other of ends of the corresponding one of said scanning lines, wherein a first portion of said common electrode line disposed between said at least one of said common terminals and said common electrode of one of said pixels disposed nearer to said at least one of said common terminals has an effective sectional area smaller than an effective sectional area of a second portion of said common electrode line disposed between said at least one of said common terminals and said common electrode of another of said pixels disposed farther from said at least one of said common terminals.
