Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: first and second substrates; a gate line and a data line on the first substrates, the gate and data lines being formed on a plurality of pixel regions; a common line on the first substrate and parallel with the gate line; a plurality of common and pixel electrodes on the first substrate, wherein a plurality of common electrodes integrally connected to the common line and wherein the plurality of common electrodes and plurality of pixel electrodes are spaced apart from each other and arranged in an alternating pattern; a thin film transistor having a gate electrode, a source electrode, and a drain electrode at a crossing point of the gate and data lines, wherein a capacitance between the gate electrode and the drain electrode varies in accordance with a position of the corresponding pixel region of a respective one of the thin film transistor along the gate line; and a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates.
