Patent ID: 8792060

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device with a built-in touch screen, which uses a common electrode as a touch-sensing electrode, the device comprising: an intersection of a gate line and a data line to define a multi-domain pixel region; a bridge line disposed in a central portion of the pixel to block disclination of the multi-domain pixel region, the bridge line being parallel with the gate line; an insulating layer formed on the bridge line, a first contact hole being disposed through the insulating layer to expose a predetermined portion of an upper surface of the bridge line; a contact metal on the insulating layer and inside the first contact hole, the contact metal being electrically connected with the bridge line; a first passivation layer on the contact metal, a second contact hole being disposed through the first passivation layer to expose a predetermined portion of an upper surface of the contact metal; a common electrode on the first passivation layer and inside the second contact hole; a conductive line electrically connected with the common electrode; and a second passivation layer on the first passivation layer and the conductive line, wherein the bridge line and the common electrode are electrically connected via the contact metal.
