Abstract

A thin film transistor array substrate structure includes a plurality of data lines; a plurality of gate lines intersecting the data lines to define pixel areas, the gate line being adjacent to at least two pixel areas; a plurality of common lines disposed between the at least two pixel areas; a plurality of thin film transistors formed at each intersection between the gate lines and the data lines; a plurality of common electrodes provided substantially parallel to the common lines; and a plurality of pixel electrodes connected to the thin film transistors.

Claims (27)

1. A thin film transistor array substrate structure, comprising:

a plurality of data lines;

a plurality of gate lines intersecting the data lines to define pixel areas, the gate line being adjacent to at least two pixel areas;

a plurality of common lines disposed between the at least two pixel areas, wherein each common line is between two gate lines;

a plurality of thin film transistors formed at each intersection between the gate lines and the data lines;

a plurality of common electrodes provided substantially parallel to the common lines; and

a plurality of pixel electrodes connected to the thin film transistors,

wherein each respective one of odd-numbered gate lines are adjacent to a respective one of pre-stage even-numbered gate lines.

2. The thin film transistor array substrate structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the pixel electrodes includes:

first and second vertical portions being parallel to the data line; and

a finger portion between the first and second vertical portions.

3. The thin film transistor array substrate structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the finger portion of the pixel electrode and the horizontal portion of the common electrode form a comb shape.

4. The thin film transistor array substrate structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the common electrodes includes:

first and second vertical portions extended vertically from the common line; and

a finger portion between the first and second vertical portions.

5. A thin film transistor array substrate structure, comprising:

a plurality of data lines;

a plurality of gate lines intersecting the data lines to define pixel areas, each gate line being adjacent to at least two pixel areas;

a plurality of common lines disposed between the at least two pixel areas;

a plurality of thin film transistors formed at each intersection between the gate lines and the data lines;

a plurality of common electrodes provided substantially parallel to the common lines; and

a plurality of pixel electrodes connected to the thin film transistors,

wherein each respective one of odd-numbered gate lines are adjacent to a respective one of pre-stage even-numbered gate lines.

6. The thin film transistor array substrate structure as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the at least two pixel areas include:

an odd pixel area corresponding to the odd-numbered gate line; and

an even pixel area corresponding to the even-numbered gate line spaced apart from the odd-numbered gate line.

7. The thin film transistor array substrate structure as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the common lines are formed between the odd-numbered gate lines and the even-numbered gate lines in the pixel areas.
