Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: first and second gate lines a first side and a second side; first and second data lines arranged perpendicular to the first and second gate lines to define pixel regions, the pixel region formed on the first side of the first gate line between the first and second data lines being the same as the pixel region formed on the second side of the second gate line between the first and second data lines; a first thin film transistor disposed on the first side of the first data line and having a first gate electrode projecting from the first gate line; a second thin film transistor disposed on the first side of the second data line and having a second gate electrode projecting from the second gate line; first and second active layers on the first and second gate electrodes, respectively; a first source electrode of the first thin film transistor disposed on the first side of the first data line and overlapping the first active layer; a first drain electrode of the first thin film transistor parallel to the first and second gate lines, spaced from the first source electrode, and overlapping the first active layer; a first pixel electrode connected to the first drain electrode; a second source electrode of the second thin film transistor disposed on the first side of the second data line and overlapping the second active layer; a second drain electrode of the second thin film transistor parallel to the gate line, spaced from the second source electrode, and overlapping the second active layer; a second pixel electrode connected to the second drain electrode; wherein the first source electrode is contacted to the first data line, and the second source electrode is contacted to the second data line; and a continuous and uniform common line between, and parallel to the first and second gate lines, the continuous and uniform common line overlapping the first and second pixel electrodes to form storage capacitors and being on the same layer as the first and second gate lines, and wherein the first and second source electrodes comprise ‘⊂’ form portions that overlap the first and second pate electrodes, respectively.
