Patent ID: 6911668

Claim:
An array substrate for in-plane switching liquid crystal display device, comprising: a gate line arranged in a transverse direction on a substrate; a data line arranged in a direction substantially perpendicular to the gate line; a thin film transistor at a crossing of the gate line and the data line; a common line arranged in the transverse direction; first and second common electrodes extending from the common line, one of the first and second common electrodes disposed adjacent to the data line; a third common electrode disposed between the first and second common electrodes and formed of a transparent conductive material; a common electrode connector extending from the third common electrode to one of the first and second common electrodes; a plurality of pixel electrodes between the common electrodes, at least one of the plurality of pixel electrodes crossing the common line and contacting the thin film transistor through a second contact hole, the plurality of pixel electrodes formed of the same material as the third common electrode; and a pixel electrode connector over the gate line, the pixel electrode connector connecting the plurality of pixel electrodes.
