LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY

摘要

A display, includes: a substrate; first signal lines (FSLs) disposed on the substrate and extending in substantially a first direction; a gate insulating layer (GIL) disposed on the FSLs; a first electrode disposed on the GIL; a thin film transistor (TFT) connected to a FSL of the FSLs and including the GIL and the first electrode; a pixel electrode (PE) extending in substantially the first direction, connected to the TFT, and configured to receive a data voltage from the TFT; a common electrode (CE) overlapping with at least a portion of the PE; and a first insulating layer disposed between the PE and CE. One of the PE and the CE has a planar shape and the other includes branch electrodes overlapping with the planar shape and extending substantially parallel to the FSL. At least a portion of the CE overlaps with at least a portion of the FSL.

1. A liquid crystal display, comprising:
a substrate; first signal lines disposed on the substrate, the first signal lines longitudinally extending in substantially a first direction; a gate insulating layer disposed on the first signal lines; a first electrode disposed on the gate insulating layer; a thin film transistor connected to a first signal line of the first signal lines, the thin film transistor comprising the gate insulating layer and the first electrode; a pixel electrode longitudinally extending in substantially the first direction, the pixel electrode being connected to the thin film transistor and configured to receive a data voltage from the thin film transistor; a common electrode overlapping with at least a portion of the pixel electrode; and a first insulating layer disposed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode, wherein:
is one of the pixel electrode and the common electrode has a planar shape and the other comprises branch electrodes overlapping with at least a portion of the planar-shaped electrode,the branch electrodes extend substantially parallel to the first signal line, andat least a portion of the common electrode overlaps with at least a portion of the first signal line.
