Patent ID: 8866999

Claim:
An LCD device, comprising: first and second substrates confronting each other; a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates; and first, second, and third sub-pixels, wherein a cell gap of the first sub-pixel is larger than a cell gap of the third sub-pixel, and wherein the first substrate comprises: a first base having a first groove in the first sub-pixel, a passivation film on the first base, a pixel electrode in the first sub-pixel positioned in the first groove, and a pixel electrode in the third sub-pixel positioned on the passivation film, wherein: the first substrate corresponding to the first sub-pixel comprises: gate and data lines crossing each other on the first base; a thin film transistor at the crossing of the gate and data lines; the pixel electrode electrically connected with the thin film transistor; a common electrode arranged in parallel to the pixel electrode; and a common line for applying a common voltage to the common electrode; and wherein the gate line, the common line, and the common electrode are received and positioned in the first groove of the first base.
