Patent ID: 8410484

Claim:
A flat display device comprising: a substrate divided into an active region for displaying an image and a peripheral region that does not display the image and around the active region; a gate line that crosses a data line to define a pixel region in the active region; a thin film transistor in a region near a crossing of the gate line and the data line; a first common electrode in the pixel region; a storage electrode on the first common electrode to provide storage capacitance; a pixel electrode electrically connected with the storage electrode and overlapping the pixel region, the data line, and the gate line; and an ink film covering the active region and the peripheral region, the ink film including microcapsules including charged particles, wherein the peripheral region includes: a plurality of dummy pixel regions in the peripheral region, each defined by crossings of a gate line and a dummy data line, wherein each dummy pixel region includes: a dummy common electrode in the dummy pixel region; a dummy storage electrode overlapping the dummy common electrode and branched directly from the dummy data line; and a dummy pixel electrode electrically contacting the dummy storage electrode, wherein the dummy pixel electrode is integrally formed with each other in all of the dummy pixel regions of the peripheral region.
