Patent ID: 7339645

Claim:
A method of fabricating an in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device, comprising: forming array elements on a first substrate, the array elements including field-generating electrodes having a curved shape; rubbing one of the first substrate and a second substrate in one direction, which can be any direction; and forming a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate such that at least a portion of the liquid crystal layer is oriented in the one direction, wherein the first and second substrates have a rectangular shape having a long side and a short side, and the liquid crystal layer is oriented by the rubbing using a rubbing roll, wherein the rubbing roll has a length corresponding to the short side, wherein the field-generating electrodes include a common electrode and a pixel electrode spaced apart from each other, and a space between the common electrode and the pixel electrode has a ring shape, and wherein the common electrode includes an outer common electrode pattern and an inner common electrode pattern, and wherein the pixel electrode includes a first pixel electrode pattern formed between the outer and inner common electrode patterns, a second pixel electrode pattern having a discal shape and located inside the inner common electrode pattern, and a pixel connecting line.
