Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: an insulating substrate; a plurality of gate lines disposed at the insulating substrate, the gate lines arranged parallel to each other and each extending along a first direction; and a plurality of data lines disposed at the insulating substrate, the data lines arranged parallel to each other and each extending along a second direction, wherein the data lines cross the gate lines to define a plurality of pixel regions; wherein each of the pixel regions comprises a thin film transistor, a pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor, a common electrode having a plurality of stripe-shaped portions and a main body, and a dielectric layer disposed between the common and pixel electrodes; and the stripe-shaped portions extend from the main body of the common electrode, and the main body of the common electrode comprises a plurality of protrusions, and the pixel electrode partially overlaps the common electrode but completely overlaps the protrusions of the common electrode such that the protrusions, the dielectric layer, and the pixel electrode cooperatively define a storage capacitor.
