Fringe field switching mode liquid crystal display having structure for preventing shorts between two electrodes
First Claim
1. A fringe field switching mode liquid crystal display comprising:
- a transparent insulating substrate;
a first gate bus line and a second gate bus line arranged in a first direction on the transparent insulating substrate, wherein the first and second gate bus lines arc separated by a first distance;
a common bus lines arranged in the first direction between the first and second gate bus lines along the middle of the first distance;
a plurality of data bus lines arranged in a second direction crossing the first and second gate bus lines and the common bus line arranged in the first direction, wherein a first unit pixel is formed by a pair of data bus lines intersecting the first gate bus line and the common bus line and a second unit pixel is formed by the pair of data bus lines intersecting the common bus line and the second gate bus line;
a thin film transistor for each unit pixel disposed adjacent the intersection of each of the first and second gate bus lines and the corresponding one of the intersecting data bus lines;
a counter electrode disposed in each of the first and second unit pixels and made of a transparent conductor, the counter electrode being in contact with the common bus line; and
a pixel electrode disposed in each of the first and second unit pixels and made of a transparent conductor, the pixel electrode overlapping with the counter electrode and being in contact with the corresponding thin film transistor.

Abstract
Disclosed is a fringe field switching mode liquid crystal display. The fringe field switching mode liquid crystal display of the present invention comprises a transparent insulating substrate; a plurality of gate bus line arranged in selected direction on the transparent insulating substrate, the gate bus line is arranged so that each element of the pair separated at a first distance is arranged a plurality of pairs at a second distance wider than a first distance; a plurality of common bus lines arranged on the centers of each gate bus line separated at the second distance, being in parallel with the gate bus line; a plurality of data bus lines arranged crossing with the gate bus line and common bus line to define a unit pixel; a thin film transistor disposed at the intersection of the gate bus line and data bus line; a counter electrode disposed in a unit pixel area and made of a transparent conductor, being in contact with the common bus line; and a pixel electrode overlapping with the counter electrode in the unit pixel and made of a transparent conductor, being in contact with the thin film transistor.
