Patent ID: 7167225

Claim:
A liquid crystal display panel, comprising: a plurality of gate lines arranged along a first direction on a first substrate; a plurality of data lines arranged along a second direction on the first substrate to cross the gate lines to define a plurality of unit pixels; an insulating layer disposed over the gate and data lines; a common electrode disposed on a second substrate opposite to the first substrate; a plurality of pixel electrodes, each pixel electrode provided in each of the unit pixels partitioned by the gate line and the data line; and a plurality of side electrodes overlapping the data lines along a length direction of the data lines, the side electrode in the pixel being extended to a neighboring pixel, wherein the insulating layer is provided between the side electrode and the data lines, a width of the side electrode is greater than a width of the data lines, and side portions of the side electrodes are coplanar with side portions of the pixel electrodes along a surface of the insulating layer.
