PURPOSE: An LCD is provided to omit the step of attaching a polarization plate by adding polarization function to common electrodes, thereby simplifying the fabricating steps. CONSTITUTION: An LCD includes first and second insulating substrates(200,100) facing each other. Common electrodes(270) are formed of conductive materials on the first insulating substrate and have polarization function. Gate lines, data lines(171) intersecting the gate lines, thin film transistors connected to the gate and data lines, and pixel electrodes connected to the thin film transistors are formed on the second insulating substrate. A liquid crystal layer is implanted between the first and second insulating substrates. A polarization plate(12) is attached to a surface of the second insulating substrate, the surface not facing the first substrate. Red, green and blue color filters(230R,230G) are formed on the second substrate. The polarization plate has a polarization axis perpendicular to that of the common electrodes. The common electrodes polarize light passing through the polarization plate to exhibit normally white or normally black.
