LCD and fabricating method with common electrode on top substrate having at least two apertures disposed to face about midway of pixel electrode on bottom substrate

#This application makes reference to, incorporates the same herein, and claims all benefits accruing under 35 U.S.C §119 from an application entitled LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY COMPRISING OPPOSITE ELECTRODE HAVING HOLE AND FABRICATION METHOD OF THE SAME earlier filed in the Korean Industrial Property Office on 24 Nov. 2004, and there duly assigned Serial No. 2004-97155 by that Office.

#1. Field of the Invention

#The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display (LCD) and method of fabricating the same and, more particularly, to an LCD having a patterned opposing common electrode including apertures and method of fabricating the same.

#A more complete appreciation of the present invention, and many of the attendant advantages thereof, will become readily apparent as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which like reference symbols indicate the same or similar components, wherein:

#FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an LCD according to an embodiment of the present invention, where a bottom substrate and a top substrate are shown;

#FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line I-I′ of FIG. 1, which illustrates the LCD and method of fabricating the same;

#Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. The embodiments are described below in order to explain the present invention by referring to the figures. In the drawings, if it is arranged “on” a different layer or a substrate, it may mean that it is arranged directly on the different layer or the substrate or another layer may be arranged therebetween.

#FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an LCD according to an embodiment of the present invention, where a bottom substrate and a top substrate are shown.

#Referring to FIG. 1, a pixel electrode 150 is arranged on a bottom substrate 100. On the bottom substrate 100, a plurality of scan lines 106 may be arranged in one direction and a plurality of data lines 127 may be arranged in a perpendicular direction to the scan lines 106. As a result, unit pixel regions are defined by the intersection of the scan lines 106 and the data lines 127. In such instance, the pixel electrode 150 is located at each unit pixel region, i.e., at a region which is defined by the interconnection of each scan line 106 and each data line 127.
