Abstract:
1. A thin film transistor substrate structure for using a horizontal electric field, comprising: a substrate; a gate line and a common line formed parallel with each other from a first conductive layer on the substrate; a gate insulating film formed on the substrate, the gate line and the common line; a data line formed from a second conductive layer on the gate insulating film, the data line crossing the gate line and the common line to define a pixel area; a thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line; a protective film covering the data line and the thin film transistor; a common electrode formed connected to one side surface and upper surface of the common line from a third conductive layer, the common electrode being disposed within a first hole through the protective film and the gate insulating film; and a pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor and formed from the third conductive layer, the pixel electrode being disposed within a second hole through the protective film and the gate insulating film at the pixel area, the pixel electrode and the common electrode being disposed to define a horizontal electric field,
