Abstract

A liquid crystal display device is disclosed in the present invention. The liquid crystal display device includes a color filter substrate having a black matrix, and color filter layers at a designated region determined by the black matrix, an array substrate having a gate bus line and a data bus line crossing perpendicularly and defining a unit pixel region, a thin film transistor arranged at an intersection of the gate bus line and the data bus line, a pixel electrode contacting a drain electrode of the thin film transistor and vertically overlapping portions of the gate bus line, the data bus line, an adjacent gate bus line, and an adjacent data bus line, and an organic insulating layer on the pixel electrode and the thin film transistor, wherein a surface of the array substrate is rubbed in a 315 degree direction, and a liquid crystal layer between the array substrate and the color filter substrate.
