Patent ID: 7733434

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a thin film transistor array panel; a common electrode panel including a common electrode and facing the thin film transistor array panel; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the thin film transistor array panel and the common electrode panel, wherein the thin film transistor array panel, comprises: a substrate; gate lines formed on the substrate; data lines intersecting, and insulated from, the gate lines; pixel electrodes formed in intersection areas of the gate and data lines; first thin film transistors electrically connected to the gate lines, the data lines, and the pixel electrodes; and buffer electrodes located on the same layer with the pixel electrodes and being supplied with a first voltage higher than a second voltage of the pixel electrodes when a corresponding pixel electrode is supplied with a data voltage and located at a boundary of the intersection areas in which they are formed and overlapping a portion of the gate line adjacent to the boundary.
