Polarizer and liquid crystal display

An LCD comprising:

• a thin film transistor substrate comprising a first insulating substrate, a plurality of gate lines extended in one direction on the first insulating substrate, a plurality of data lines intersecting with the gate lines, pixel electrodes respectively formed in pixel regions defined by the gate and data lines, and thin film transistors respectively connected to the gate lines, data lines and the pixel electrodes;
• and
• a color filter substrate comprising a second insulating substrate, a black matrix formed corresponding to a region except the pixel regions of the first insulating substrate, and color filters and common electrodes formed corresponding to the respective pixel regions,
• wherein at least one of wire grid polarizing patterns having the pixel electrodes formed with a predetermined line width and interval and wire grid polarizing patterns having the common electrodes formed with a predetermined linewidth and interval are formed on at least one of the thin film transistor substrate and the color filter substrate.

An LCD comprising:

• upper and lower substrates respectively having element layers formed thereon;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer interposed between the upper and lower substrates,
• wherein wire grid polarizing patterns formed a predetermined line width and interval are formed on at least one of the upper or lower substrates.
