Patent ID: 8670098

Claim:
A fringe field type liquid crystal display panel, comprising: a gate line disposed on a substrate; a storage electrode separated from and formed of the same material as the gate line on the substrate, a data line disposed to cross the gate line, wherein a gate insulating film is disposed between the gate line and the date line; a thin film transistor disposed at an intersection area of the gate line and the data line; a pixel electrode directly formed on the gate insulating film and directly-connected to a drain electrode of the thin film transistor, an upper surface of the pixel electrode being directly contacted with a lower surface of the drain electrode; a passivation film disposed on the gate insulating film to cover the pixel electrode and the thin film transistor; a common electrode disposed to overlap the pixel electrode and the data line on the passivation film to form a fringe field for aligning liquid crystal together with the pixel electrode; and a data pad having a data pad lower electrode formed on the substrate and extended from the data line, and a data pad upper electrode formed on the passivation film and contacted with an upper surface of the data pad lower electrode through a first contact hole defined in the passivation film, wherein the pixel electrode is formed in a pixel area defined by cross of the gate line and the data line, and the storage electrode includes a horizontal portion in parallel with the gate line to overlap with one edge of the pixel electrode, and a plurality of vertical portions extended from the horizontal portion to overlap with two edges connected to the one edge of the pixel electrode.
