In-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device having first and second common electrode connection lines and first and second pixel electrode connection linesbeing formed on the same layer

Abstract

An in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate; a gate line disposed in a first direction on the first substrate; a data line disposed in a second direction on the first substrate, the data line crossing the gate line to define a pixel region; pixel electrodes and common electrodes disposed in the first direction in the pixel region, the pixel electrodes and the common electrodes generating an in-plane electric field within the pixel region; first and second common lines disposed parallel to the data line at right and left sides of the pixel region; a first common electrode connection line connecting at least two common electrodes and forming a first common electrode overlapping region by overlapping the first common line; and a second common electrode connection line connecting at least two other common electrodes and forming a second common electrode overlapping region by overlapping the second common line, wherein the first common electrode overlapping region and the second common electrode overlapping region have substantially the same area.
