Patent ID: 7535519

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second substrates; a plurality of scanning lines parallel to one another and disposed over the first substrate; a plurality of data lines, parallel to one another and vertical to the scanning lines, disposed over the first substrate, thereby forming a plurality of pixel regions, each pixel region being arranged in array and defined by two adjacent scanning lines and two adjacent data lines, wherein each data line between every two adjacent scanning lines comprises a first portion, a second portion and two connection portions connecting the first and second portions, and the two connection portions and the second portion define a bent region; a plurality of pixel electrodes disposed in the pixel regions, respectively, wherein the first and second portions of each data line are covered respectively with opposite side portions of the two adjacent pixel electrodes; a plurality of thin film transistors (TFTs) connected to the pixel electrodes and disposed in the vicinity of intersections of the scanning and data lines, respectively; and a plurality of auxiliary capacitor lines, each of which has a main body in parallel to the scanning lines and an extension portion extending outwardly from the main body, wherein the extension portion of each auxiliary capacitor line substantially extends in the direction parallel to the second portion and is disposed in the bent region.
