Patent ID: 7593088

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate; a plurality of gate lines formed on the first substrate; a plurality of data lines intersecting the gate lines; a plurality of thin film transistors connected to the gate lines and the data lines; a plurality of pixel electrodes each connected to a respective thin film transistor of the plurality of thin film transistors, each of the pixel electrodes partially overlapping a data line and including a first sub-electrode and a second sub-electrode; a plurality of storage electrode lines formed on the first substrate, each of the storage electrode lines disposed between the first sub-electrode and the second sub-electrode and including a portion overlapping a respective pixel electrode of plurality of pixel electrodes; a second substrate opposing the first substrate; a plurality of bead spacers supporting the first substrate and the second substrate; and a plurality of column spacers formed on the second substrate and separated from the first substrate.
