Liquid crystal display device having improved electrostatic discharge tolerance

Abstract

A liquid crystal display (“LCD”) device is improved in terms of electrostatic discharge (“ESD”) tolerance, the LCD device including: a first substrate and a second substrate spaced apart from each other; a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate; a common line on the first substrate; a common electrode on the second substrate; and a plurality of short-circuit portions between the common line and the common electrode. Each short-circuit portion of the plurality of short-circuit portions includes a contact surface contacting the common line, and at least two of the short-circuit portions include contact surfaces having different sizes.
