Patent ID: 7847906

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate; a first signal line formed on the first substrate and extending in a first direction; a second signal line formed on the first substrate and including a curved portion and a rectilinear portion connected to the curved portion, wherein the rectilinear portion intersects the first signal line and the second signal line is a data line; a first thin film transistor connected to the first signal line and the second signal line; a pixel electrode connected to the first thin film transistor; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a common electrode formed on the second substrate, the common electrode comprising an opening facing the second signal line, the opening extending in a lengthwise direction of the second signal line and parallel with the second signal line and including a curved portion which is a same shape as that of the second signal line; and a third signal line overlapping the pixel electrode, extending substantially parallel to the first signal line, and separated from the first signal line wherein the thin film transistor comprises a terminal connected to the pixel electrode and overlapping the third signal line, wherein the third signal line comprises a first curved branch extending substantially parallel to the curved portion of the second signal line.
