IN-PLANE SWITCHING MODE LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method for fabricating an in-plane switching (IPS) type liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising:
- forming gate lines arranged in a first direction and data lines arranged in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, the gate lines and the data lines defining pixel regions on an array substrate;
forming a storage electrode on the array substrate;
forming common electrodes extending across each pixel region;
forming pixel electrodes arranged to be substantially parallel to the common electrodes, the common electrodes and the pixel electrodes being alternately arranged to generate an in-plane field in each pixel region;
forming thin film transistors (TFTs) at intersection areas of the gate lines and the data lines, each TFT including a source electrode connected to the corresponding data line, a drain electrode connected to the corresponding pixel electrode and a gate electrode; and
forming a common line under one of the common electrodes in the pixel region, the common line being substantially parallel to the data lines.
