Patent ID: 7742133

Claim:
A transflective liquid crystal display device, comprising: first and second substrates facing and spaced apart from each other; a plurality of gate lines on an inner surface of the first substrate; a plurality of data lines crossing the gate lines to define pixel regions including a reflective portion and a transmissive portion, wherein a border region between the reflective and transmissive portion overlaps one of the gate lines and the data lines; a thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line; a first passivation layer on the thin film transistor; a second passivation layer on the first passivation layer, one of the first and second passivation layers having an opening corresponding to the transmission portion and covering one portion of the data line, the other of the first and second passivation layers covering the other portion of the data line, wherein one side of the opening overlaps the data line; a reflective layer corresponding to the reflective portion on the second passivation layer; a transparent electrode corresponding to the pixel region covering the reflective layer, the transparent electrode covering a side surface of the opening; a color filter layer on an inner surface of the second substrate; a common electrode on the color filter layer; and a liquid crystal layer between the common electrode and the transparent electrode.
