Patent ID: 7671954

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising: an array substrate having a plurality of pixel regions; a gate line formed on the array substrate; a data line formed on the array substrate crossing the gate line; a thin film transistor formed on the array substrate, the thin film transistor being formed at an intersection between the gate line and the data line; a pixel electrode formed on each of the pixel regions of the array substrate, and connected to the thin film transistor; an insulating interlayer formed on an entire surface of the array substrate; a common electrode formed on the insulating interlayer and having a plurality of slits, wherein the common electrode is formed separately on each of the pixel regions; a metal line formed on the insulating interlayer, and overlapped with the data line and the common electrode, wherein the metal line is formed on the common electrode; a color filter substrate attached to the array substrate; and a liquid crystal layer formed between the array substrate and the color filter substrate.
