US Patent 7719651 In-plane switching liquid crystal display device

An in-plane switching liquid crystal display device including: first and second substrates; a gate line and data line arranged vertically and horizontally, respectively, on the first substrate and defining a pixel region; a thin film transistor (TFT) formed at a crossing of the gate line and the data line; common electrodes and pixel electrodes alternately disposed in the pixel region in a curvature form and generating an in-plane electric field; a common electrode connection line electrically connecting the common electrodes; a pixel electrode connection line electrically connecting pixel electrodes; a compensation electrode formed along at least one of the common electrode connection line and the pixel electrode connection line and compensating electric field; and a liquid crystal layer formed between the first and second substrates.
