Patent ID: 7843545

Claim:
An LCD comprising: a first substrate defined by a display region and a non-display region; a gate electrode disposed on the first substrate corresponding to the display region; a first dummy pattern disposed on the first substrate corresponding to the non-display region, wherein the first dummy pattern is formed on and between data pad parts connecting to an external circuit part; a gate insulating layer formed on a surface of the first substrate that includes the gate electrode and the first dummy pattern; source and drain electrodes formed spaced apart from each other on both sides of an active layer on the gate insulating layer corresponding to the gate electrode; a second dummy pattern disposed on the gate insulating layer corresponding to the non-display region, wherein the second dummy pattern and the first dummy pattern are formed alternately and apart from the each other; a pixel electrode electrically connected to the drain electrode; a conductive thread pattern formed on an outside region of the first substrate with the first dummy pattern; and a second substrate facing the first substrate and having a common electrode, wherein the first dummy pattern is connected to the common electrode through the conductive thread pattern.
