Patent ID: 8400389

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a liquid crystal display panel including a display area where pixels are arranged in a matrix format and a plurality of data lines and a plurality of gate lines are formed to cross each other; an edge common line that is formed in a non-display area outside the display area to receive a common voltage through a plurality of input sources; a plurality of pixel common line patterns that are formed in each of liquid crystal cells constituting each of the pixels and are electrically connected to one another, each of the pixel common line patterns having a mesh structure, the pixel common line patterns being connected to common electrodes of the liquid crystal cells; a plurality of longitudinal common lines that are electrically connected to the edge common line to apply the common voltage to the pixel common line patterns, each of the longitudinal common lines being formed between two horizontally adjacent pixels in a direction parallel to the data lines; and a plurality of data drive integrated circuits (ICs) for driving the data lines, wherein the pixels include a plurality of pixel units each including two vertically adjacent pixels, and two data lines and three gate lines are assigned to each of the pixel units, wherein the plurality of input sources include a plurality of common voltage input pads connected to dummy channels disposed at right and left sides of each of the data drive ICs, wherein two common voltage input pads are respectively connected to two dummy channels disposed at both sides of each data drive IC, and wherein a width of the edge common line is greater than a width of the longitudinal common lines, and the width of each longitudinal common line is smaller than a width of each data line.
