Patent ID: 7773183

Claim:
A method for manufacturing an IPS mode LCD device, comprising: forming a gate line on a substrate; forming a common electrode including a plurality of first segments and a plurality of second segments in a pixel region, wherein the plurality of first segments are formed substantially parallel to the gate line, and the plurality of second segments are formed substantially perpendicular to the gate line and connected to the first segments; forming a gate insulating layer on an entire surface of the substrate including the gate line and the common electrode; forming a semiconductor layer on the gate insulating layer; forming a data line substantially perpendicular to the gate line, and forming source/drain electrodes overlapped with sides of the semiconductor layer; forming a passivation layer on the entire surface of the substrate including the data line, wherein the passivation layer has a contact hole on the drain electrode; and forming a pixel electrode including a plurality of third segments and at least one fourth segment on the passivation layer connected with the drain electrode, wherein each of the third segments is positioned between the first segments, and the at least one fourth segment includes one segment connecting end parts of two adjacent third segments and being partially overlapped with the second segments of the common electrode to form a closed loop.
