Liquid crystal display panel

A liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, comprising:

• a first base substrate;
• a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines disposed on the first base substrate and crossing each other;
• a gate insulating layer on the first base substrate;
• a passivation layer on the gate insulating layer;
• a pixel electrode pattern disposed on the first base substrate, the pixel electrode pattern comprising a first electrode connection portion, a second electrode connection portion parallel to the first electrode connection portion, and a central portion parallel to the gate lines to connect the first connection portion with the second connection portion;
• a storage pattern disposed on the first base substrate, the storage pattern comprising a storage line being parallel to the gate lines and corresponding to the central portion;
• a second base substrate;
• a common electrode pattern disposed on the second base substrate;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second base substrates,
• wherein the pixel electrode overlaps with the storage pattern while interposing the gate insulating layer and the passivation layer therebetween to form a storage capacitor and a width of the central portion is wider than a width of the storage line.
