Abstract:
1. An IPS mode LCD device comprising: a substrate; a plurality of gate lines formed on the substrate; a plurality of data lines crossing the gate lines to define pixel regions, each of the data lines having at least one extending part at both sides thereof; a common line formed substantially parallel to the gate lines; at least one common electrode perpendicularly extending from the common line; a thin film transistor formed at a crossing portion of the gate and data lines; and at least one pixel electrode connected to a drain electrode of the thin film transistor, and formed substantially parallel to at least one common electrode, wherein the data lines are comprised of a linear portion having a constant width, a plurality of first extending parts formed along a first side of the linear portion, and a plurality of second extending parts formed along a second side of the linear portion, wherein a highest point of one of the first extending parts corresponds to a highest point of one of the second extending parts with respect to the linear portion, and a lowest point of the one of the first extending parts corresponds to a lowest point of one of the second extending parts with respect to the linear portion, wherein the first and second extending parts are substantially symmetric with respect to a longitudinal portion direction of the linear portion.
