Patent ID: 7262825

Claim:
A process for forming an in-plane switching liquid crystal display device, comprising: defining a first liquid crystal cell area that has a first size and a second liquid crystal cell area that has a second size on a first bare glass, wherein first longer sides of the first liquid crystal cell area run in a first direction on the first bare glass and second longer sides of the second liquid crystal cell areas run in a second direction; forming array elements that include a gate line, a data line, a common line, a thin film transistor, a common electrode, and a pixel electrode within the first and second liquid crystal cell areas of the first bare glass, wherein the common electrode and the pixel electrode define concentric ring-shaped apertures with the common electrode connected to the common line and the pixel electrode overlapping the common line; rubbing the first bare glass having the array elements in a first rubbing direction; forming a color filter layer on a second bare glass wherein liquid crystal cell areas corresponding in size to the first and second liquid crystal cell areas are defined; and rubbing the second bare glass having the color filter in a second rubbing direction opposite to the first rubbing direction, wherein the common electrode includes a first ring-shaped common electrode pattern and a second ring-shaped common electrode pattern such that respective half portions of both the first and the second ring-shaped common electrode patterns extend from the common line in opposite directions, and wherein the pixel electrode includes a ring-shaped pixel electrode pattern between the first and second ring-shaped common electrode patterns, and a bullseye-shaped pixel electrode pattern inside the second ring-shaped common electrode pattern such that both the ring-shaped pixel electrode pattern and the bullseye-shaped pixel electrode pattern overlap the common line.
