Abstract

Disclosed is a fringe field switching mode liquid crystal display. The fringe field switching mode liquid crystal display of the present invention comprises a transparent insulating substrate; a plurality of gate bus line arranged in selected direction on the transparent insulating substrate, the gate bus line is arranged so that each element of the pair separated at a first distance is arranged a plurality of pairs at a second distance wider than a first distance; a plurality of common bus lines arranged on the centers of each gate bus line separated at the second distance, being in parallel with the gate bus line; a plurality of data bus lines arranged crossing with the gate bus line and common bus line to define a unit pixel; a thin film transistor disposed at the intersection of the gate bus line and data bus line; a counter electrode disposed in a unit pixel area and made of a transparent conductor, being in contact with the common bus line; and a pixel electrode overlapping with the counter electrode in the unit pixel and made of a transparent conductor, being in contact with the thin film transistor.
