Abstract:
1. An in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device, comprising: a liquid crystal panel including first and second substrates and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates, the first substrate including a common electrode and a pixel electrode thereon; a top case over the second substrate and covering the second substrate, the top case having a first surface corresponding to a top surface of the second substrate and a second surface corresponding to a side surface of the first substrate; a driving unit connected to the first substrate and operable to output a common voltage; a common voltage transmission wire connected to the driving unit; and a common voltage applying conductor connected to the common voltage transmission wire and the common electrode, the common voltage applying conductor disposed on a top surface of the first substrate, wherein the second substrate is disposed between the first surface of the top case and the first substrate, wherein the common voltage transmission wire and the top surface of the second substrate have first and second heights from the top surface of the first substrate, respectively, and the first height is greater than the second height such that the common voltage transmission wire contacts the first surface of the top case, wherein the common voltage transmission wire is positioned on a top surface of the common voltage applying conductor.
