Patent ID: 8294862

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a gate line and a data line formed on a substrate; a thin film transistor formed at an intersection of the gate line and the data line; a pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor; a common electrode substantially parallel to the pixel electrode; a first transparent conductive pattern directly contacted with a surface of the common electrode substantially nonparallel to a plane of the substrate, wherein the common electrode and the first transparent conductive pattern are located at an outermost of a pixel area; a common line substantially parallel to the gate line and commonly connected to the common electrode to supply a common voltage to the common electrode; and a second transparent conductive pattern located at a central portion of the pixel area separated from the first transparent conductive pattern, wherein the second transparent conductive pattern is contacted with a surface of the common line substantially nonparallel to the plane of the substrate, and not overlapped with a surface of the common line substantially parallel to the plane of the substrate, wherein at least a part of the first transparent conductive pattern is contacted with only the surface of the common electrode substantially nonparallel to a plane of the substrate, and wherein the first and second transparent conductive patterns are made of only transparent electrode material and not overlapped with the pixel electrode.
