Abstract
In a liquid crystal display having an upper substrate and a lower substrate opposite thereto, a liquid crystal molecules interposed therebetween, a gate bus and data bus line arranged in a first direction and the second direction respectively on the lower substrate, thus defining a space for an unit cell of the liquid crystal display, a channel layer at the intersection of the gate bus line and the data bus line, a counter electrode and a pixel electrode for operating the liquid crystal molecules disposed at unit cell and an insulating layer for isolating the gate bus line from the data bus line, the part of the counter electrode and the part of the pixel electrode by which the electric field parallel to the gate bus line are located in the space for unit cell and has sectional view of a substantial triangle shape. Accordingly, an equi-potential area in which liquid crystal molecules do not operate over the counter electrode and the pixel electrode is minimized, thus improving an aperture ratio and a transmittance of the LCD.
