Patent ID: RE42283

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate having a plurality of data lines, a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of pixel electrodes, and a plurality of functional components having drain electrodes, gate electrodes and source electrodes , wherein each source electrode and each drain electrode are disposed over one of said gate electrodes, and said source electrodes connect to the plurality of data lines, said gate electrodes connect to the plurality of scan lines and said drain electrodes connect to the plurality of pixel electrodes; and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched and sealed between said first substrate and said second substrate, wherein one of each source electrode and each drain electrode has at least one conducting zone and one bridging zone for connecting said conducting zone and other part thereof, and said bridging zone has an equal width in a direction parallel to one peripheral side of said gate electrodes, and the equal width of said bridging zone in the direction parallel to one peripheral side of said gate electrodes is smaller than a width of said conducting zone in the same direction parallel to said peripheral side of said gate electrodes ; wherein said gate electrodes, said signal electrodes and said drain electrodes don't directly connect each other, the projection of one of each signal electrode or each drain electrode on the surface of neighboring gate electrode having at least one conducting zone and one bridging zone for connecting said conducting zone and other part of said signal electrode and said drain electrode; and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched and sealed between said first substrate and said second substrate; wherein said source electrodes connect to said data lines, said gate electrodes connect to said scan lines, and said drain electrodes connect to said pixel electrodes; said source electrodes, said bridging zone has an equal width in the direction parallel to one peripheral side of said gate electrode, and the width of said bridging zone in the direction parallel to one peripheral side of said gate electrode is smaller than the width of said conducting zone in the same direction parallel to said peripheral side of said gate electrode .
