Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising: first and second substrates facing each other at a predetermined interval therebetween; gate and data lines crossing each other on the first substrate to define a pixel region; a common line provided in parallel to the gate line; a thin film transistor provided at a crossing portion of the gate and data lines; a plurality of common electrodes connected to the common line at fixed intervals and disposed in the same direction as the data line; a pixel electrode provided in contact with a drain electrode of the thin film transistor, between the common electrodes at fixed intervals; a black matrix layer provided on the second substrate, inside an outermost-opening limiting line of the first substrate, below a bonding margin; and a color filter layer provided on the second substrate, wherein at least one gate line has an adjacent upper pixel region defined adjacent to an upper side of the gate line and an adjacent lower pixel region defined adjacent to a lower side of the gate line opposite the upper side of the gate line, wherein the adjacent upper and lower pixel regions use the gate line in common, and wherein the thin film transistors of the adjacent upper and lower pixel regions use a gate electrode, a source electrode and an active layer in common.
