Patent ID: 6965423

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate with a plurality of parallel gate lines and a plurality of parallel signal lines formed thereon, wherein the gate lines and signal lines are perpendicular, and a pixel area is defined by two adjacent gate lines and two adjacent signal lines; a source electrode and a drain electrode on the pixel area, wherein the source electrode is electrically connected to one of the two adjacent signal lines; a first pixel electrode formed on the pixel area, electrically connected to the drain electrode; a second substrate a predetermined distance above the first substrate, having a plurality of color-filtering areas, each formed directly above the respective pixel area on the first substrate; and a second pixel electrode layer on the second substrate, wherein the second pixel electrode layer includes a patterned area directly above the, wherein the patterned area is thinned relative to an area of the second pixel electrode layer that is not patterned signal lines.
