Abstract
An array substrate for use in an in-plane switching liquid crystal display device includes a plurality of gate lines disposed in a first direction on a substrate; a plurality of data lines disposed in a second direction aslant the gate lines, wherein the gate and data lines have rounded portions and pairs of the gate and data lines define circular pixel regions; a common line disposed in the first direction between the pair of the gate lines; a circular common electrode connected to the common line; a thin film transistor disposed near each crossing of the gate and data lines; and a circular pixel electrode disposed in the circular pixel region, connected to the thin film transistor, and spaced apart from the circular common electrode.

An array substrate for use in an in-plane switching liquid crystal display device, comprising:
- a plurality of gate lines disposed in a first direction on a substrate;
- a plurality of data lines disposed in a second direction perpendicular to the gate lines, wherein the gate and data lines have a straight line shape and pairs of the gate and data lines define a rectangular pixel regions;
- a circular common electrode disposed in each rectangular pixel region;
- a common line disposed to the first direction, the common line connecting the circular common electrode to the neighboring circular common electrode disposed in the neighboring rectangular pixel region;
- a circular pixel electrode disposed inside the circular common electrode with being spaced apart from the circular common electrode;
- a thin film transistor disposed near a crossing of the gate and data lines in the rectangular pixel region;
- and
- a pixel connecting line connecting the circular pixel electrode to the thin film transistor.
The array substrate of claim 1, wherein the pixel regions have a formation of straight structure where the pixel regions are distributed parallel both from left to right and from top and bottom.
A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
- a plurality of substantially circular pixels disposed horizontally in at least adjacent first and second rows and vertically in at least adjacent first and second columns;
- and
- pixels in the second row being offset in a horizontal direction from pixels in said first row by a predetermined distance.
