Abstract
A storage capacitor in a liquid crystal display maximizes the area of overlap between a gate line and a subsidiary electrode to compensate for manufacturing deviations, to increase the capacitance of the storage capacitor, and increase the aperture of the liquid crystal display. A liquid crystal display includes a substrate, a gate line on the substrate wherein the gate line includes a straight portion and a recessed portion, a storage capacitor electrode that is overlapped with an entire width of the recessed portion of the gate line, and a pixel electrode that is extended towards the direction of the recessed portion of the gate line.
Claims10
A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a substrate;
- a gate line on the substrate, the gate line including a straight line portion and a recessed portion;
- a gate insulating layer covering the gate line;
- a storage capacitor electrode on the gate insulating layer, wherein the storage capacitor is arranged to overlap an entire width of the recessed portion of the gate line;
- and
- a pixel electrode electrically connected with the storage capacitor electrode.
A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a substrate;
- a gate line on the substrate, the gate line including a gate electrode extending in a first direction that is substantially straight, and a recessed portion that extends in a second direction that is deviated from the first direction;
- a data line crossing with the gate line, the data line including a source electrode;
- a drain electrode arranged such that the drain electrode opposes the source electrode;
- a storage capacitor electrode overlapped with the recessed portion of the gate line;
- and
- a pixel electrode connected to the drain electrode.
A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a substrate;
- a gate line on the substrate extending along a straight line, the gate line including a recessed portion that deviates from the straight line along which the gate line extends and is spaced farther from a pixel electrode than the other portion of the gate line that extends along the straight line;
- a gate insulating layer covering the gate line;
- and
- a storage capacitor electrode on the gate insulating layer, arranged to overlap an entire width of the recessed portion.
