Abstract
The disclosure concerns an IPS LCD having a structure for changing a bright pixel to a dark pixel and a method of changing a bright pixel to a dark pixel. In the method of changing a bright pixel to a dark pixel, a pixel electrode 16 is cut at the end of an aperture 14. In the IPS LCD structure, a cut 32 is formed in a CS circuit 18 of a pixel region 12 and a laser beam is applied to the pixel electrode 16 throughout the cut 32 from a substrate side to cut the pixel electrode 16. Instead of the cut 32, a window 34 may be formed to apply a laser beam therethrough.
