Abstract
A liquid crystal display includes: a first substrate, a gate line and a data line disposed on the first substrate, a thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line, a first passivation layer disposed on the thin film transistor, a first electrode disposed on the first passivation layer, a second passivation layer disposed on the first electrode and a second electrode disposed on the second passivation layer. A first edge of the first electrode and a second edge of the second passivation layer have substantially the same plane shape as each other, and the second edge of the second passivation layer protrudes more than the first edge of the first electrode.
