Patent ID: 7830488

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate; a gate line disposed on the first substrate; a data line disposed on the first substrate; a thin film transistor electrically connected to the gate line and to the data line; a pixel electrode electrically connected to the thin film transistor, including first and second sub-electrodes, and overlapping with a portion of the data line; a storage electrode line formed on the first substrate, disposed between the first and second sub-electrodes, and including an overlapped portion with the pixel electrode; a second substrate arranged facing the first substrate; a light blocking member disposed on the second substrate; a common electrode formed on the second substrate and including a cutout corresponding to the first and second sub-electrodes; and a liquid crystal layer formed between the common electrode and the pixel electrode, wherein the thin film transistor includes: a gate electrode electrically connected to the gate line; a semiconductor overlapping with the gate electrode; a drain electrode formed on the semiconductor; and a source electrode arranged facing the drain electrode and electrically connected to the data line, on the semiconductor; wherein the drain electrode includes an extending portion overlapping with the storage electrode line; wherein the first and second sub-electrodes are connected to each other by a connecting member, and the connecting member includes a substantially vertical portion connecting the first and second sub-electrodes in a row and a protruding portion leftwardly and rightwardly protruded from the substantially vertical portion and electrically connected to the extending portion of the drain electrode.
