Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display panel including a first substrate, a second substrate and liquid crystal interposed between the first and the second substrates, wherein the first substrate comprises: a gate line and a source line intersecting the gate line, one of the gate line and the source line being a conductive pattern; a switching element arranged near an intersection of the gate line and the source line; a transparent pixel electrode connected to the switching element; an insulating layer formed on the transparent pixel electrode and the conductive pattern; and a transparent common electrode arranged on the insulating layer and facing to the conductive pattern through the insulating layer, the transparent common electrode including a first flat portion above the conductive pattern and extending from a first edge of the conductive pattern to a second edge of the conductive pattern, a step portion near the first edge of the conductive pattern, and a second flat portion extending from the first flat portion through the step portion, and wherein the second substrate comprises: a shielding layer overlapping at least the step portion of the transparent common electrode, and wherein an edge of the shielding layer is positioned at a portion of the second flat portion between the step portion of the transparent common electrode and an edge of the second flat portion of the transparent common electrode in a plane view.
