Abstract
An array substrate of a liquid crystal display being capable of increasing the electrostatic capacitance of a storage capacitor without decreasing the aperture ratio of the LCD. In the array substrate, the gate line is formed a disposed material of a first and a second metal layer. The first metal layer of the gate line is extended on the pixel area.
Claims5
An array substrate of a liquid crystal display, comprising:
