Patent ID: 7248323

Claim:
A liquid crystal display of horizontal electric field applying type, which comprises: a thin film transistor array substrate, comprising: a gate line; a common line parallel to the gate line; a data line crossing the gate line and the common line with a gate insulating film therebetween to define a pixel area; a thin film transistor formed on each intersection of the gate line and the data line; a common electrode formed in the pixel area and connected to the common line; a pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor and formed to produce horizontal electric field along with the common electrode in the pixel area; a gate pad formed with at least one conductive layer included in the gate line; a data pad formed with at least one conductive layer included in the data line; a common pad formed with at least one conductive layer included in the common line; a passivation film exposing the gate pad, the data pad and the common pad, which are formed on a substrate to form the thin film transistor array substrate; a color filter array combined with the thin film transistor array substrate, liquid crystal material being filled between the color filter and the thin film transistor array substrate; and a conductive film directly connected to the gate pad, the data pad and the common pad, said pads exposed on the thin film transistor array substrate.
