Patent ID: 8400599

Claim:
A liquid crystal display panel comprising: an insulating substrate; a plurality of gate lines extending in a first direction on the insulating substrate; a plurality of data lines extending in a second direction that crosses with the gate lines to define a plurality of pixels; each pixel comprising a pixel electrode connected to a thin film transistor and disposed within said pixel; and a plurality of light blocking electrodes, each light blocking electrode corresponding to a pixel, and comprising a plurality of first portions extending in the second direction, a plurality of second portions extending in the first direction and a third portion extended from the first portions, wherein the second portions and first portions are directly connected and the third portion is formed along a boundary portion of the pixel electrode and includes a plurality of bent portions, wherein a first pixel and a second pixel are next to each other in the first direction and wherein the third portion connects a plurality of the first portions within the first pixel, wherein the first portion of the light blocking electrode of the first pixel and the first portion of the light blocking electrode of the second pixel extend substantially parallel along opposite sides of a data line and are interconnected across the data line via interconnected second portions of the first and second pixels, wherein the third portion extends in a direction that is different from an extension direction of the first portions at a point where the third portion meets the first portions, wherein the light blocking electrodes are disposed and interconnected in a series of pixels in the first direction to form a first light blocking electrode line and a second light blocking electrode line, wherein the first light blockin electrode line and the second light blocking electrode line are in different series of pixels, wherein the first light blocking electrode line has a first end point and a second end point, and wherein the second light blocking electrode line has a third end point and a fourth end point, wherein the first end point and the third end point are at a first side of the substrate and interconnected and/or wherein the second end point and the fourth end point are at a second side of the substrate and interconnected.
