Patent ID: 6906776

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate; a gate line assembly and a common electrode line assembly formed on the first substrate, the gate line assembly comprising a plurality of gate lines proceeding in the horizontal direction and gate pads connected to the gate lines, the common electrode line assembly comprising common signal lines proceeding parallel to the gate lines and common electrodes connected to the common signal lines while proceeding in the vertical direction; a gate insulating layer covering the gate line assembly and the common electrode line assembly; a semiconductor pattern formed on the gate insulating layer; an ohmic contact pattern formed on the semiconductor pattern; a data line assembly and pixel electrodes, the data line assembly comprising a plurality of data lines formed on the gate insulating layer and the ohmic contact pattern while crossing over the gate lines to form pixel regions, data pads connected to the data lines, source electrodes being parts of or branched from the data lines and drain electrodes separated from the source electrodes, the pixel electrodes connected to the drain electrodes at the pixel regions while proceeding parallel to the common electrodes; a passivation layer covering the data line assembly and the pixel electrodes; and a second substrate facing the first substrate; wherein the gate insulating layer and the passivation layer exposed externally to the second substrate and the data pads are removed.
