Patent ID: 7446841

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) apparatus comprising: a first substrate having a common electrode; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a plurality of gate lines formed on the second substrate and comprising a first gate line and a second gate line neighboring the first gate line; a plurality of data lines formed on the second substrate, intersecting the gate lines and comprising a first data line and second data line neighboring the first data line; a pixel area defined by the first gate line, the second gate line, the first data line and the second data line; a first conductive pattern having a V-shape and formed on the second substrate in the pixel area adjacent to the first data line; a second conductive pattern having a V-shape and formed on the second substrate in the pixel area adjacent to the second data line; a V-shaped pixel electrode formed in a pixel area; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and the second substrate.
