Patent ID: 7675597

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display comprising: forming a plurality of data lines over a first substrate; forming a plurality of gate lines over the first substrate, the plurality of gate lines crossing the plurality of data lines to form a plurality of pixel areas, each of the plurality of pixel areas having a multi-bent band shape, wherein the step of forming a plurality of data lines comprises forming each of the plurality of data lines with a first set of oblique portions and a second set of oblique portions, the first set of oblique portions being angled counterclockwise by about 45° from the plurality of gate lines and the second set of oblique portions being angled clockwise by about 45° from the plurality of gate lines; forming a pixel electrode in each of the plurality of pixel areas; forming a common electrode over a second substrate; and interposing a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate, the liquid crystal layer comprising liquid crystal molecules aligned vertical to surface of the first substrate when no voltage is applied, the liquid crystal layer having negative dielectric anisotropy.
