Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device comprising a plurality of unit pixels, each unit pixel comprising:a pixel electrode formed on a lower substrate by patterning a first transparent electrode and including a protrusion at an end thereof so as to provide means for contact with one terminal of a thin film transistor; a common bus line spaced at a predetermined distance from the pixel electrode; a gate bus line formed on the opposite side of the common bus line with regard to the pixel electrode; a gate insulating layer patterned to provide at least a first and a second contact holes; a counter electrode formed over the pixel electrode by using a slit-shaped second transparent electrode, said second transparent electrode extending through the first contact hole so as to be connected to the common bus line; and a data bus line intersecting with the gate bus line between two pixel electrodes in the adjacent unit pixel, the data bus line extending through the second contact hole so as to be connected to the pixel electrode at the protrusion end.
