Patent ID: 7542122

Claim:
An in-plane switching (IPS) mode liquid crystal display device (LCD) comprising: a plurality of gate lines formed in a first direction on a substrate; a plurality of gate pads spaced a predetermined interval from one end of the gate lines by the common-voltage supply line; a plurality of common lines formed substantially parallel to the gate lines in the first direction; a common-voltage supply line integrally formed with the common lines; a plurality of data lines formed in a second direction that perpendicularly crosses the first direction of the gate lines; a thin film transistor (TFT) formed at a crossing of the gate lines and the data lines; a plurality of common electrodes extended from and integrally formed with the common lines; and a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in an alternating pattern with the common electrodes, wherein the gate pads and the gate lines are cut at portions crossing the common-voltage supply line, and wherein the gate lines are connected with the gate pads through a jumping electrode at the cut portions.
