Patent ID: 7453534

Claim:
A liquid crystal display panel comprising: a first substrate provided with a plurality of gate and data lines, the gate lines being arranged to cross the data lines to define a plurality of active pixel regions in a matrix arrangement; a second substrate provided with a black matrix layer to shield portions other than the active pixel regions from light, wherein the black matrix surrounds and is adjacent to each active pixel region, and a liquid crystal layer injected between the first and second substrates, wherein the active pixel regions in a peripheral portion of the matrix arrangement have an aperture ratio lower than that of the active pixel regions in other portions of the matrix arrangement, wherein the black matrix layer corresponding to a first gate line, a first data line and a last data line extend into the active pixel region toward a pixel electrode and have a greater width than widths of the black matrix layer corresponding to the other portions, and the first gate line among the gate lines a greater than width of the other gate lines so as to allow the active pixel regions in the peripheral portion to obtain an aperture ratio lower than that of the active pixel regions in the other portions.
