Abstract

A liquid crystal display device including a pair of substrates, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pair of substrates, a plurality of first common electrodes extending in a direction and being formed on one substrate of the pair of substrates, and a second common electrode connected to one of the first common electrodes. The second common electrode has a first edge adjacent the one of the first common electrodes and a second edge opposite to the one of the first common electrode. A first pixel electrode is formed between two of the first common electrodes and extends in the same direction as the first common electrodes. A second pixel electrode overlaps the second common electrode, is connected to the first pixel electrode, and covers at least a portion of the first edge of the second common electrode.
