Abstract
A liquid crystal display capable of reducing the stray capacitance of a non-display region and a method of manufacturing the same. The liquid crystal display includes a first substrate, gate lines and data lines intersecting each other on the first substrate to define pixels, a second substrate arranged opposite to the first substrate, a common electrode formed in a display area of the second substrate in which an image is displayed, and a floating electrode formed in a non-display region of the second substrate in which no image is displayed.
Claims20
A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a first substrate;
- a second substrate arranged opposite to the first substrate;
- a common electrode disposed on the second substrate;
- a floating electrode disposed in a non-display region of the second substrate in which no image is displayed;
- a driving circuit disposed on the first substrate and overlapped with at least a portion of the floating electrode;
- and
- a sealing portion disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate,
- wherein at least a portion of the floating electrode is disposed within the sealing portion,
- wherein the floating electrode is physically separated from the common electrode,
- wherein the driving circuit comprises at least one of a gate driver or a data driver.
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display, the method comprising:
- forming gate lines on a first substrate so as to extend in a first direction;
- forming a driving circuit on the first substrate;
- forming data lines on the first substrate in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction;
- forming a transparent electrode layer on a second substrate;
- and
- dividing the transparent electrode layer formed as same layer on the second substrate into a common electrode and a floating electrode, wherein the floating electrode is disposed in a non-display region of the second substrate in which no image is displayed,
- wherein the floating electrode is physically separated from the common electrode,
- wherein the driving circuit overlaps with at least a portion of the floating electrode and comprises at least one of a gate driver or a data driver.
