Patent ID: 8704986

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, the method comprising: preparing first and second substrates where first to fourth subpixel regions are defined; forming a first alignment layer on the first substrate; aligning portions of the first alignment layer corresponding to the first to third subpixel regions to a first direction, and aligning a portion of the first alignment layer corresponding to the fourth subpixel region to a third direction different from the first direction; forming a common electrode on the second substrate; forming a second alignment layer on the common electrode; aligning portions of the second alignment layer corresponding to the first to third subpixel regions to a second direction, and aligning a portion of the second alignment layer corresponding to the fourth subpixel region to a fourth direction different from the second direction; and forming a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates, wherein the forming of the common electrode comprises: forming a first common electrode on an entire surface of the second substrate and having an open portion corresponding to the fourth subpixel region; and forming a common line on a black matrix of the second substrate corresponded to a gate line; forming a second common electrode connected to the common line on the open portion of the first common electrode and separated from the first common electrode.
