Abstract:
1. An array substrate for a liquid crystal display device, the array substrate comprising: a gate line; common lines parallel to the gate line, the gate line disposed between the common lines; a data line crossing the gate line and the common lines to define a pixel region, the pixel region divided into first and second regions by the gate line; a thin film transistor at a crossing portion of the gate and data lines, the thin film transistor comprising: a pixel electrode in each of the first and second regions, the pixel electrodes connected to the drain electrode; and a common electrode in each of the first and second regions, the common electrode connected to the common line in each of the first and second regions, wherein the common electrode includes patterns parallel to the data line, and the pixel electrode includes patterns parallel to the data line, wherein the patterns of the common electrode alternate with the patterns of the pixel electrode, wherein the source and drain electrodes extend in the same direction.
