First Claim
1. An in-plane switching (IPS) mode liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising:
- a gate electrode on an array substrate, and a gate line arranged in a first direction on the array substrate;
one or more storage electrodes arranged in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction on the array substrate;
a first insulating layer on the array substrate with the gate electrode, the gate line and the storage electrodes formed thereon;
an active pattern over the gate electrode with the first insulating layer interposed therebetween;
a source electrode and a drain electrode on the active pattern, and a data line arranged in the second direction over the first insulating layer;
at least one common line arranged in the second direction over the first insulating layer;
a second insulating layer on the array substrate with the active pattern, the source and drain electrodes, the data line and the common line formed thereon;
a plurality of common electrodes on the second insulating layer, wherein the common line is underneath the respective common electrode to overlap the common electrode; and
a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged to be substantially parallel to the plurality of common electrodes on the second insulating layer, the plurality of common electrodes and the plurality of pixel electrodes being alternately arranged to generate an in-plane field in each pixel region.
