Abstract
Description
- A. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device, and more particularly to an in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device.
- B. Description of the Related Art
- Recently, the thin film transistor liquid crystal display device (TFT LCD) has been used as a display device of many applications such as a portable television and a notebook computer, but such TFT LCD has a small viewing angle.
- In order to solve this problem, twisted nematic LCDs having optical compensation plates and a multi-domain LCD, and so forth, have been introduced. In these LCDs, however, the color of the image is shifted because the contrast ratio depends on the viewing angle direction.
- For a wide viewing angle, an in-plane switching mode LCD is disclosed, for example, in JAPAN DISPLAY 92 p547, Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 7-36058, Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 7-225388, and ASIA DISPLAY 95 P707.
- FIG. 1a and FIG. 1b are respectively plane and sectional views showing the conventional in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device (IPS mode LCD). FIG. 1b is a sectional view taken along line A-A′ of FIG. 1a. As shown in these figures, a
gate bus line 1 and adata bus line 2 are formed on afirst substrate 10, defining a pixel. Although only one pixel is drawn in the figures, a liquid crystal display device generally has a plurality of pixels. Acommon bus line 3 is aligned in the pixel, being parallel togate bus line 1. A thin film transistor (TFT) is disposed at the cross of gate anddata bus lines gate electrode 5, agate insulator 12, asemiconductor layer 15, anohmic contact layer 16 and source/drain electrodes data electrode 8 and acommon electrode 9 are formed parallel todata bus line 2. A portion ofdata electrode 8 which overlapscommon bus line 3 is formed to obtain a storage capacitor which functions as maintaining a grey level voltage applied intodata electrode 8.Common electrode 9 is connected tocommon bus line 3.Data electrode 8 is formed ongate insulator 12 and is connected todrain electrode 7. The TFT,data electrode 8 andgate insulator 12 are covered with apassivation layer 20. Thereon, afirst alignment layer 23 a is coated to impart an alignment direction. - On a
second substrate 11, ablack mask 28 is formed to prevent a leakage of light through the regions of the TFT and gate, data andcommon bus lines color filter layer 29 and asecond alignment layer 23 b are formed. Between first andsecond substrates liquid crystal layer 30 is formed. - When a voltage is applied to the conventional IPS mode LCD, an electric field parallel to
substrates common electrodes liquid crystal layer 30. - However, the conventional IPS mode LCD has the following problems. First, because the area for storage capacitor occupies quite a portion of the pixel region, and the data and common electrodes are made of opaque metals, the aperture ratio is lowered. Second, because the electric field applied to the LC layer is weakened by both
gate insulator 12 andpassivation layer 20 formed over twoelectrodes data bus line 2 should be apart from the pixel region to the extent of not generating the crosstalk problem, the pixel region is decreased, thereby lowering the aperture ratio. - An object of the present invention is to provide an in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device having a low driving voltage.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device having an improved aperture ratio.
- Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by means of the elements and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
- To achieve the objects and in accordance with the purpose of the invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, the invention comprises: a substrate; a common bus line over the substrate; a first insulator over the common bus line; a first electrode over the first insulator, the first electrode at least partially covering the common bus line to form a first storage capacitor between the first electrode and the common bus line; a second insulator over the first electrode; and a second electrode over the second insulator, the second electrode at least partially covering the first electrode to form a second storage capacitor between the first and second electrodes.
- It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention, as claimed.
- The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.

- Reference will now be made in detail to the present preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.
- In an in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device implemented according to the present invention, the common electrode is formed over the passivation layer, and the passivation layer and the gate insulator do not weaken the electric field applied into the liquid crystal layer. Consequently, the driving voltage may be lowered. Further, because the area for storage capacitor can be decreased, the aperture ratio is improved.
- Moreover, the common electrode may be formed to overlap the data bus lines to remove the crosstalk problem. In this case, because the pixel region can be enlarged, the aperture ratio becomes much more improved. In order to prevent signal delay in the data bus lines which is generated by being overlapped with the common electrode, the data bus lines is formed of highly conductive metal layers such as a Mo metal layer, Mo/Al/Mo triple metal layers, or Cr/Al/Cr triple metal layers.
- Furthermore, the common electrode may be formed of a transparent electrode such as indium tin oxide in order to lower contacting electric resistance between pads and driving circuits as well as to improve the aperture ratio.

second substrate 111, ablack mask 128 and acolor filter layer 129 are formed. An overcoat layer may be formed thereon for the flatness and stability of the surface thereof.Black mask 128 prevents a leakage of light through the regions of TFT and gate, data andcommon bus lines Black mask 128 is made of a Cr or a CrOx metal layer having a thickness of 0.1 μm and a width of 10 μm or a resin.Color filter layer 129 has one of R, G, and B color filter elements in each pixel.

The two insulating layers in the pad region are etched whenhole 125 is formed. In the prior art, an oxide layer is generated on the pads by the exposure to the air, causing a problem that the contacting electric resistance is increased when connecting the pads to the driving circuits.

FIG. 7b is a sectional view taken along line E-E′ of FIG. 7a. As shown in these figures, this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a
common electrode 209 overlaps adata bus line 202. The parts of the second embodiment that are the same as the first embodiment are indicated by the same reference number as the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, althoughcommon electrode 209 can be made of opaque metals, it is preferable to formcommon electrode 209 out of a transparent conducting metal such as ITO in order to improve the aperture ratio. In general, becausedata bus line 202 should be separated from the pixel region to the extent of avoiding the crosstalk problem, the aperture ratio is lowered. But in this embodiment, because the electric effect bydata bus line 202 is shielded bycommon electrode 209, the crosstalk problem can be eliminated. - Accordingly, the pixel region can be enlarged improving the aperture ratio. But, a parasitic capacitor may be formed between
common electrode 209 anddata bus line 202, causing the signal delay indata bus line 202. This signal delay problem can be removed by formingdata bus line 202 out of low resistance metal layers such as Mo metal layer, Mo/Al/Mo triple metal layers or Cr/Al/Cr triple metal layers. - In the in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device according to the present invention, because the common electrode is formed on the passivation layer, the passivation layer and the gate insulator do not weaken the electric field applied into the liquid crystal layer. Consequently, the driving voltage may be lowered. Further, because the common electrode overlaps the data bus line to remove the crosstalk problem, the pixel region can be enlarged, thereby improving the aperture ratio as well as the display quality. Furthermore, because the area for storage capacitor is decreased, the aperture ratio is much more improved.
- Other embodiments of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary only, with a true scope and spirit of the invention being indicated by the following claims.
