Patent ID: 7180564

Claim:
An in-plane-switching liquid crystal display, comprising: a transparent insulating substrate; a plurality of gate lines formed on said transparent insulating substrate and being parallel to each other; a plurality of storage capacity lines formed between the gate lines; an insulating layer formed on said transparent insulating substrate and covering said gate lines and said storage capacity lines; a transistor formed on said insulating layer and having a drain electrode, a source electrode, and a gate electrode being part of a corresponding gate line; a signal line being perpendicular to said gate lines with said insulating layer therebetween, and connected to said drain electrode; a pixel line formed on the insulating layer in a same direction as said gate lines and connected to said source electrode; a plurality of pads corresponding to said storage capacity line with said insulating layer therebetween; a resin layer formed on said insulating layer and covering said transistor, said signal line, said pixel line and said pads; a plurality of first through holes formed in said resin layer that is formed on said pads; a plurality of second through holes formed in said resin layer that is formed on said pixel line, wherein the number of said second through holes is equal to the number of said first through holes; and a plurality of pixel electrodes extending from said second through holes over the surface of said resin layer to said first through holes so as to connect the pixel line and the pads.
