Patent ID: 7522226

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) comprising: a first panel comprising: an insulating substrate; a gate interconnection line formed on the insulating substrate and including a gate line and the gate electrode branched from the gate line, the gate line extending in a first direction; a data interconnection line including a data line, a source electrode as a branch of the data line, and a drain electrode formed spaced apart from the source electrode, the data line electrode extending in a second direction to intersect the gate line; a semiconductor layer formed on the gate electrode and having a channel region between the source electrode and the drain electrode; and a pixel electrode formed for a pixel region defined by the gate interconnection line and the data interconnection line; a second panel facing the first panel, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second panels, wherein the gate line includes a first recess having a first length in the first direction and a first width extending in the second direction.
