Patent ID: 8199304

Claim:
A horizontal electric field type liquid crystal display (LCD) comprising: a first substrate, a second substrate, a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a spacer disposed between the first and the second substrates, wherein the first substrate and the second substrate comprise: a thin film transistor, a gate line and a data line for driving the thin film transistor, a pixel electrode, and a common electrode corresponding to and forming a horizontal electric field with the pixel electrode; wherein the thin film transistor, the gate line and the data line are only located on the first substrate, and the pixel electrode and the common electrode are only located on the second substrate, and the spacer is a conductive spacer electrically connecting each pixel electrode on the second substrate to the corresponding thin film transistor on the first substrate, and the spacer is located in a region corresponding to a drain electrode of the thin film transistor.
