Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device including a data line supplied with a data signal, a gate line supplied with a scanning signal, a pixel electrode for driving a liquid crystal cell, and a thin film transistor for responding to the scanning signal to switch the data signal to the pixel electrode, the device comprising: a storage electrode having a first region overlapping the gate line to form a storage capacitor, a second region offset from and parallel to the gate line, and a third region at respective ends of the storage electrode; a first protective layer having non-contiguous portions at the respective ends of the storage electrode in a layer between the storage electrode and the pixel electrode, wherein the storage electrode is directly connected to the pixel electrode on an entire upper surface of the second region of the storage electrode; and a second protective layer formed between a gate insulating film and the pixel electrode.
