Abstract

The present invention provides a Fringe Field Switching-Liquid Crystal Display comprising: an upper substrate and a lower substrate; a gate line and a data line for defining a unit pixel, a plurality of protrusion parts being respectively formed on an edge region of the gate line adjacent to a pixel electrode, each of protrusion parts of the gate line being positioned in a depression part formed between the protrusion parts of the pixel electrode; a counter electrode formed in the unit pixel; a common line for applying a common signal to the counter electrode; a pixel electrode forming an electric field with the counter electrode, a plurality of protrusion parts being formed on an edge region of the pixel electrode adjacent to the gate line, each of protrusion parts being positioned in a depression part formed between the protrusion parts of the gate line; and a liquid crystal filled between the upper substrate and the lower substrate.
