Patent ID: 7982839

Claim:
A fringe field switching mode liquid crystal display comprising a lower substrate, an upper substrate, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the lower and upper substrates, in which a gate line and a data line intersect each other and define a pixel area on the lower substrate and a switching element is provided at an intersection between the gate line and the data line, the fringe field switching mode liquid crystal display comprising: a transparent common electrode having a predetermined shape and formed within the pixel area to adjust light transmittance by applying a voltage to the liquid crystal layer, a transparent pixel electrode comprising a plurality of slits and formed above the transparent common electrode with an insulating layer interposed between the transparent common electrode and the transparent pixel electrode, and an active layer below the data line, wherein the active layer comprises a plurality of separated closed curve patterns to make the data line have a curved shape, wherein a rubbing direction for aligning the liquid crystal layer ranges within 5° with respect to a direction of the gate line, arrangement between the transparent common electrode and the transparent pixel electrode is regulated with respect to the data line to reduce light leakage and coupling phenomena without a light shielding region above the data line, and one end of the transparent common electrode is arranged between the data line and the transparent pixel electrode.
