Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display of horizontal electric field applying type comprising: a thin film transistor array substrate, wherein the thin film transistor array substrate includes an effective display area having a gate line, a common line parallel to the gate line, a data line crossing and isolated from the gate line and the common line with a gate insulating film therebetween to define a pixel area, a thin film transistor formed at each crossing of the gate line and the data line, a passivation film for protecting the thin film transistor, a common electrode formed in the pixel area and connected to the common line, and a pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor and formed to produce a horizontal electric field along with the common electrode in the pixel area, and a pad area having a gate pad formed to have at least one conductive layer included in the gate line, a data pad formed to have at least one conductive layer included in the data line, and a common pad formed to have at least one conductive layer included in the common line; a color filter array substrate facing the thin film transistor array substrate; a driving integrated circuit mounted on the thin film transistor substrate to directly connect to one of the gate pad and the data pad; a package mold material for capsulating the pads and the driving integrated circuit; a plurality of signal supplying lines for supplying a driving signal to the driving integrated circuit; and a connector to which a conductive film for supplying a driving signal to the signal supplying lines is attached, wherein the thin film transistor comprises a drain electrode formed of the same conductive layer as the pixel electrode.
