Patent ID: 7868956

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising: a first substrate; gate lines formed on the first substrate; data lines perpendicularly crossing the gate lines to define red, green, and blue (R/G/B) sub-pixels; thin film transistors (TFTs) disposed at each intersection where the gate lines cross the data lines; common lines disposed in parallel with the gate lines; pixel electrodes insulated from the common lines and connected to the TFTs; a second substrate opposite to the first substrate and bonded to the first substrate; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second substrates, and wherein an extension is formed on each of the gate lines overlapped with the data lines in the R and B sub-pixels, wherein a recess is formed on each of the common lines overlapped with the data lines in the R and B sub-pixels, wherein an area of the extension is equal to an area of the recess.
