Abstract:
A display device includes a gate line and a data line on a first substrate. A first passivation layer disposed thereon has a first contact hole. A second passivation layer on the first passivation layer has a second contact hole. A common electrode is disposed on the second passivation layer and a residual pattern is disposed on a drain electrode. A third passivation layer, having a third contact hole, is disposed on the common electrode. A pixel electrode, connected to the drain electrode, is disposed on the third passivation layer. A groove is defined between the first and second passivation layers. The common electrode has a open circuit from the residual pattern thereof.
Abstract:
A display device includes a display panel including gate lines, data lines, and pixels connected to the gate lines and the data lines, a data driver configured to apply data voltages to the pixels through the data lines, and a common voltage generator configured to apply first and second common voltages to the pixels. The pixels connected to odd-numbered gate lines of the gate lines are connected to the data lines disposed at a first side thereof, the pixels connected to even-numbered gate lines of the gate lines are connected to the data lines disposed at a second side thereof, and the common voltage generator is configured to apply the first common voltage to the pixels connected to the odd-numbered gate lines and apply the second common voltage to the pixels connected to the even-numbered gate lines.
