Patent ID: 7956942

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a first gate electrode formed on a substrate; a storage electrode formed on the substrate and separated from the first gate electrode, the storage electrode having a body and an extension extending from and nonparallel to the body; a gate insulating layer formed on the first gate electrode and the storage electrode; a first semiconductor formed on the gate insulating layer; a first source electrode formed on the first semiconductor; a first drain electrode formed on the first semiconductor, separated from the first source electrode, the first drain electrode having an end portion overlapping the first gate electrode, an expansion overlapping the body of the storage electrode and distanced from the end portion, and a connection connecting the end portion and the expansion, the connection overlapping the extension of the storage electrode; a passivation layer formed on the first source electrode and the first drain electrode and having a contact hole exposing the expansion of the first drain electrode; and a first field-generating electrode connected to the first drain electrode through the contact hole, wherein a width of the extension of the storage electrode is wider than a width of the connection of the first drain electrode.
