Patent attributes
A liquid crystal display device includes: a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines crossing the plurality of gate lines that define the plurality of pixel regions that define a plurality of pixel regions on a first substrate; a plurality of thin film transistors each residing in a pixel region, wherein the plurality of thin film transistors are symmetrically formed with respect to a central gate line and wherein paired transistors reside on opposite sides of the central gate line; and a black matrix including a first portion overlying the central gate line and the paired transistors, a second portion overlying the plurality of thin film transistors, and an additional part that is integral with the second portion and renders the black matrix symmetrical with respect to the first portion.
