Patent ID: 7317496

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising: a substrate; a first conductive layer formed on the substrate and comprising a gate line and a storage electrode line, wherein the gate line is in communication with a gate included in a TFT region of the LCD device, wherein the gate line extends from the TFT region of the LCD device along a first direction and has a width in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; a first insulating layer formed on the first conductive layer; a semiconductor layer formed on the first insulating layer; a second conductive layer formed on the semiconductor layer, and comprising a data line, a source electrode, and a drain electrode, and a pixel electrode in communication with the drain electrode, wherein the drain electrode includes at least a portion that overlaps at least a portion of the storage electrode, and wherein at least a portion of the pixel electrode overlaps the entire width of the gate line.
