Plane switching mode liquid crystal display device having storage lines overlapping gate line and common line, and fabrication method thereof

Abstract

An IPS mode LCD device and its fabrication method are disclosed. The IPS mode LCD device includes: first and second substrates; a plurality of gate lines and data lines disposed horizontally and vertically on the first substrate; a plurality of sub-pixels defined by the gate lines and the data lines; a common line dividing the sub pixels into an upper region, a first region and a lower region, a second region, and defining first to fourth sub-pixels arranged in a 2×2 matrix form; at least one pair of a common electrode and a pixel electrode disposed in each of first to fourth sub-pixels and generating an in-plane electric field; a first storage line connected to the pixel electrode of the first region and disposed on the gate line; a second storage line connected to the pixel electrode of the second region and disposed on the common line; a switching device formed at an intersection of the gate line and the data line; and a liquid crystal layer formed between the first and second substrates.
