McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP
IPS LCD DEVICE HAVING A LIGHT SHIELDING LAYER UNDER AT LEAST ONE COMMON OR DATA ELECTRODES SO THAT LIGHT TRANSMITTANCE AREAS OF THE COMMON AND DATA ELECTRODES ARE THE SAME AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
An in-plane switching mode LCD having an improved picture quality comprises first and second substrates; a plurality of pixel areas defined on the first substrate; data electrodes and common electrodes alternately formed in each of the pixel areas and patterned to have the same light transmitting area according to the applied voltage; and a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates. A method of manufacturing the in-plane switching mode LCD comprises: preparing the first and second substrates; forming a plurality of gate lines and data lines on the first substrate to define a plurality of pixel areas; forming a plurality of data electrodes and common electrodes to alternate in each pixel areas and have the same light transmitting area in applying voltage; and forming a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates.
