Patent ID: 8077265

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, comprising: a first base substrate; a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines disposed on the first base substrate and crossing each other; a gate insulating layer on the first base substrate; a passivation layer on the gate insulating layer; a pixel electrode pattern disposed on the first base substrate, the pixel electrode pattern comprising a first electrode connection portion, a second electrode connection portion parallel to the first electrode connection portion, and a central portion parallel to the gate lines to connect the first connection portion with the second connection portion; a storage pattern disposed on the first base substrate, the storage pattern comprising a storage line being parallel to the gate lines and corresponding to the central portion; a second base substrate; a common electrode pattern disposed on the second base substrate; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second base substrates, wherein the pixel electrode overlaps with the storage pattern while interposing the gate insulating layer and the passivation layer therebetween to form a storage capacitor and a width of the central portion is wider than a width of the storage line.
