Patent ID: 8107027

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate; a plurality of gate lines formed on the first substrate and extending in a first direction; a plurality of storage electrode lines extending in the first direction; a plurality of data lines intersecting the gate lines; a plurality of thin film transistors connected to the gate lines and the data lines; and a plurality of pixel electrodes respectively connected to the thin film transistors and arranged in a matrix, each pixel electrode comprising: a first edge parallel to the gate lines, the first edge having a first length; and a second edge having a second length shorter than the first length of the first edge, the second edge being parallel to the data lines, wherein a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode of the pixel electrodes are disposed on two sides of a storage electrode line, and one of the first edge of the first pixel electrode and the first edge of the second pixel electrode overlap the storage electrode line, wherein each transistor of the plurality of thin film transistors comprises: a gate electrode extending from a first gate line; a semiconductor overlapping the gate electrode; a source electrode overlapping the semiconductor and extending from a first data line; and a drain electrode facing the source electrode and overlapping the semiconductor, wherein the drain electrode intersects the storage electrode line and the first gate line, and wherein the drain electrode comprises a first portion connected to the pixel electrode and a second portion facing the source electrode, the first portion being disposed on a first side of the first gate line and the storage electrode line and the second portion being disposed on a second side of the first gate line and the storage electrode line, the first side being on an opposite side of the first gate line and the storage electrode line as the second side.
