Patent ID: 7554630

Claim:
An LCD device comprising: a gate line on a first substrate; a gate insulating layer on an entire surface of the first substrate including the gate line; a data line on the gate insulating layer substantially perpendicular to the gate line, to define a pixel region; a thin film transistor at a crossing of the gate and data lines; a passivation layer on a surface of the first substrate including the thin film transistor; a pixel electrode on the passivation layer connected with a drain electrode of the thin film transistor; a common line formed substantially in parallel with the gate line, formed between the gate line and the pixel electrode, and spaced apart from the pixel electrode; and a light-shielding metal preventing a parasitic capacitance between the data line and the pixel electrode and overlapping the pixel electrode and the data line between the data line and the pixel electrode, wherein the light-shielding metal projects from the common line.
