Abstract

An in-plane switching LCD including a plurality of gate and data lines crossing each other to define a plurality of pixel areas; a thin film transistor formed at a crossing of the data and gate lines; a pair of common lines facing each other and substantially parallel to the data lines in the pixel areas; a common electrode integrally formed with the common lines, the common electrode being inclined by a predetermined angle; a pair of pixel electrode lines overlapping the common lines; and a pixel electrode integrally formed with the pixel electrode lines, the pixel electrode being inclined substantially parallel to the common electrode, the pixel electrode being arranged in an alternating pattern with the common electrode, wherein the gate lines are formed substantially parallel to the common electrode and the pixel electrode.
