Abstract:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising:a first substrate; a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between said first substrate and said second substrate; a plurality of data bus lines extending in a vertical direction formed on said first substrate; a plurality of gate bus lines extending in a horizontal direction formed on said first substrate; a plurality of thin film transistors (TFTs) each formed in the vicinity of each point of intersection of its corresponding gate bus lines and data bus lines; a plurality of strip-shaped pixel electrodes each connected to a source electrode of said TFTs, extending parallel to said data bus lines; an inter-layer insulating film formed on said pixel electrodes, said gate bus lines and said data bus lines; a plurality of common electrodes extending in the vertical direction formed on top of said inter-layer insulating film; a plurality of common bus lines extending in the horizontal direction formed on top of said inter-layer insulating film; wherein said common electrodes cover said data bus lines and said common bus lines cover said gate bus lines.
