Patent ID: 7589806

Claim:
An in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device comprising: gate lines and data lines orthogonally crossing each other on a first substrate for defining pixel regions having reflection portions and transmission portions, wherein the transmission portions correspond to inner parts of the pixel regions and the reflection portions correspond to edges of the pixel regions; thin film transistors at the crossings of the gate lines and the data lines; common electrodes formed at the transmission portions of the pixel regions; reflection electrodes formed at the reflection portions of the pixel regions, wherein the common electrodes are integrally formed with the reflection electrodes in a same layer; pixel electrodes formed parallel with the common electrodes at the transmission portions and formed above the reflection electrodes at the reflection portions; a second substrate attached to the first substrate such that the first and second substrates face each other; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates; and first and second polarizing films respectively attached to outer surfaces of the first and second substrates.
