Patent ID: 8237902

Claim:
An array substrate of an LCD with a wide viewing angle, comprising gate lines and data lines formed on a substrate, and thin film transistors (TFTs) and pixel electrodes formed in pixel areas defined by the gate lines and the data lines, wherein at least one shaft for inducing liquid crystal to form a multi-domain structure is formed on each of the pixel electrodes; wherein each of the TFTs comprises a gate electrode, a gate insulating layer, a semiconductor layer, a doped semiconductor layer, a source electrode, a drain electrode, a TFT channel and a passivation layer; the passivation layer is formed on the source electrode, the drain electrode and the TFT channel; and a first via hole for connecting each of the pixel electrodes to the drain electrode and a second via hole with a slope-shaped sidewall to form the shaft are opened on the passivation layer; and wherein the passivation layer and the gate insulating layer within the second via hole are completely etched off, each of the pixel electrodes covers the second via hole to form a funnel-shaped shaft with a smaller bottom area and a larger top area and for inducing the liquid crystal to form the multi-domain structure.
