Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising: a substrate; first to Nth scanning lines extending along a first direction on the substrate; a plurality of data lines extending along a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction on the substrate and crossing the scanning lines; a plurality of switching devices on the substrate arranged in a plurality of rows, each switching device connected to one of the second to Nth scanning lines for controlling a switching of the switching device and one of the data lines for applying data to the switching device, wherein the first scanning line is not connected with the switching device; a plurality of pixel electrodes on the substrate in a plurality of pixel areas defined by the scanning lines and the data lines, the pixel electrodes each being connected to a corresponding one of the switching devices; and a light transmission restricting layer formed on the substrate corresponding to at least one of the plurality of pixel electrodes controlled by the second scanning line among the first to Nth scanning lines, not formed on the substrate corresponding to pixel electrodes controlled by any other scanning lines, and formed to entirely overlap with the pixel electrode at right and left sides of the data lines.
