Abstract
A display apparatus includes a first substrate, a second substrate and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first substrate includes a gate line, a data line, a thin film transistor, a pixel electrode and a common electrode. The common electrode includes a shielding portion which overlaps one of the gate line and the data line. The second substrate includes an electrostatic preventing pattern. The electrostatic preventing pattern contacts the liquid crystal layer and overlaps the shielding portion.
Claims15
A display apparatus comprising:
- a first substrate comprising:
- a gate line;
- a data line which is insulated from the gate line and crosses the gate line;
- a thin film transistor which is connected to the gate line and the data line;
- a pixel electrode which is connected to the thin film transistor;
- and
- a common electrode which overlaps the pixel electrode and comprises a shielding portion,
- wherein the shielding portion overlaps one of the gate line and the data line in a plan view;
- a second substrate which faces the first substrate;
- and
- a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate,
- wherein
- the second substrate comprises an electrostatic preventing pattern which contacts the liquid crystal layer and overlaps the shielding portion of the common electrode, in the plan view, and
- the shielding portion of the common electrode and the electrostatic preventing pattern each have a longitudinal axis, and a width taken perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and the width of the shielding portion is greater than the width of the electrostatic preventing pattern.
