Patent ID: 7961284

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a substrate; a gate line; a data line; a thin film transistor on the substrate, the thin film transistor including a gate electrode, a semiconductor layer, a source electrode, and a drain electrode; a gate insulating layer disposed between the gate electrode and the semiconductor layer; a passivation layer on the substrate and the thin film transistor; a pixel electrode connected with the drain electrode through a contact hole in the passivation layer; an outer common line surrounding a pixel and formed on the passivation layer; and a common electrode connected to the outer common line, wherein the outer common line is overlapped with the gate and date lines, wherein the pixel electrode and the common electrode are coplanar on the passivation layer, wherein the outer common line is coplanar with the pixel electrode and the common electrode, wherein the outer common line is overlapped with the gate line, having the gate insulating layer and the passivation layer therebetween, wherein the outer common line is overlapped with the data line, having the passivation layer therebetween, wherein the gate line, the data line, and the outer common line are formed by a resist printing process to have a straight rectangular shape, and wherein the common electrode and the pixel electrode are formed by the resist printing process to have straight-line shapes and to be perpendicular to the outer common line and the gate line.
