Abstract:
A structure usable in an IPS LCD device, comprising:a plurality of common electrodes disposed over a pixel region of a substrate; a common line coupled with the plurality of common electrodes; a plurality of pixel electrodes on the pixel region, the plurality of pixel electrodes and common electrodes being arranged in an alternating manner with a predetermined interval between adjacent common and pixel electrodes; and a first pixel connecting line coupled with the plurality of pixel electrodes, wherein a first corner portion where a first one of the pixel electrodes meets the first pixel connecting line is slanted with respect to the first one of the pixel electrodes, wherein a second corner portion where a first one of the common electrodes meets the common line is slanted with respect to the first one of common electrodes, and wherein the second corner portion and the first corner portion cross each other in a same sub-pixel region defined by the first one of the pixel electrodes and the first one of the common electrodes.
