Abstract
Abstract An LCD device with reduced off-current comprising one glass substrate on which a TFT array, a first ITO common electrode and data gate line are formed, a confronting glass substrate joined to the other glass substrate and on which a color filter array and a second ITO common electrode are formed, and a liquid crystal poured between the joined glass substrates. Part of the second ITO common electrode positionally corresponding to a respective TFT is eliminated, thereby preventing electrons from gathering on the upper surface of the thin film transistor (TFT).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate on which an array of thin film transistors, a first ITO electrode, and a gate line are formed; a second substrate on which an array of color filters and a second ITO electrode are formed, wherein said first and second substrates are joined so as to define a space therebetween; and a liquid crystal provided in said space between said joined first and second substrates, wherein at least one portion of said second ITO electrode, positionally corresponding to a thin film transistor of said array of thin film transistors, is removed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate on which an array of thin film transistors, a first ITO electrode, and a gate line are formed; a second substrate on which an array of color filters and a second ITO electrode are formed, wherein said first and second substrates are joined so as to define a space therebetween; and a liquid crystal provided in said space between said joined first and second substrates, wherein at least one portion of said second ITO electrode, positionally corresponding to a thin film transistor of said array of thin film transistors, is removed.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
100 words
A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, comprising the steps of: providing a first substrate having an array of thin film transistors, a first ITO electrode, and a gate line formed thereon; providing a second substrate having an array of color filters and a second ITO electrode formed thereon; removing at least one portion of the second electrode positionally corresponding to a thin film transistor on the first substrate; joining the first and second substrates such that a space is defined therebetween; and depositing a liquid crystal in the space defined between the joined first and second substrates.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
