Abstract:
A thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) comprising:a glass substrate; a gate bus lines arranged parallel to each other on the glass substrate; data bus lines disposed perpendicular to the gate bus lines, a pair of the gate bus lines and a pair of the data bus lines forming a pixel region; a thin film transistor; a transparent pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor and disposed in the pixel region, the pixel electrode having a first side, which is located proximate to one of the pair of the gate bus lines, a second side, which is located proximate to the other one of the pair of the gate bus lines, a third side, which is located proximate to one of the pair of the data bus lines, and a fourth side, which is located proximate to the other one of the pair of the data bus lines, whereby the pixel electrode spans the substantially entire pixel region; a transparent storage electrode formed at a bottom of the pixel electrode, wherein the storage electrode spans the entire pixel electrode such that the storage electrode and the pixel electrode form a storage capacitor along the entire pixel electrode and hence the substantially entire pixel region; and a common electrode line for transmitting a common signal to the storage electrode.
