Method of fabricating an in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device forming a second common electrode over the first common electrode and pixel electrode adjacent to the data line
An in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate and a second substrate, gate lines and data lines arranged in a matrix form on the first substrate to define a pixel area, a thin film transistor at a cross portion of the gate and data lines, a common line and a pixel electrode line in the pixel area to define an upper pixel area portion and a lower pixel area portion, first common electrodes and pixel electrodes connected to the common line and the pixel electrode line, a second common electrode disposed to overlap one of the first common electrodes and one of the pixel electrodes adjacent to the data lines, the second common electrode being connected to the first common electrode, and a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates.
This application is a Continuation of copending U.S. patent application No. 10/423,017 filed on Apr. 25, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,839,115 and claims the benefit of Korean Application No. 2002-60735 filed in Korea on Oct. 4, 2002, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
