Patent ID: 7336333

Claim:
An in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device comprising: first and second substrates having an array region and a sealant region along a periphery of the array region, wherein the array region includes a plurality of pixel regions defined by a plurality of gate lines and data lines on the second substrate and the sealant region includes a plurality of gate pads and data pads at an end of the gate and data lines; a sealant in the sealant region attaching the first and second substrates, wherein the sealant is located over the gate and data pads; a single metallic black matrix formed in the sealant region that extends into the array region of the first substrate, the single metallic black matrix having a first portion and a second portion in the sealant region; a color filter on the metallic black matrix extending into the array region from the sealant region; a common electrode and a pixel electrode on the second substrate in the array region; an organic layer on the color filter in the array region, the organic layer covering the first portion of the single metallic black matrix to shield an electric field in the array region, wherein the organic layer is formed in the array region; and a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates, wherein the sealant is disposed in the second portion of the metallic black matrix and the organic layer is formed in a part area of the second portion of the metallic black matrix so that a part area of the metallic black matrix is exposed.
