Patent ID: 7889308

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate; a sealant between the first and second substrates to attach the first and second substrates together the sealant and the sealant including a plurality of conductive balls: a plurality of data lines and gate lines disposed perpendicularly from each other to define a plurality of pixel regions in a inner portion from the sealant on the first substrate; a thin film transistor disposed in each pixel region in the inner portion from the sealant on the first substrate; a first electrode on the first substrate through the sealant region; a third electrode on the first substrate in a inner area from the sealant on the first substrate, the third electrode being apart from the sealant in the predetermined distance; a second electrode on the first substrate, the second electrode being overlapped with a part of the sealant and the third electrode, the second electrode being formed with transparent conductive material; a liquid crystal layer between the attached first and second substrates and within the sealant, wherein the second electrode is overlapped with the third electrode at the inner portion that the pixel regions are disposed.
