A fringe field type liquid crystal display panel that increases an aperture ratio of a pixel area includes: a gate line disposed on a substrate; a data line disposed to cross the gate line, wherein a gate insulating film is disposed the gate line and the data line; a thin film transistor disposed at an intersection area of the gate line and the data line; a pixel electrode disposed on the gate insulating film and directly connected to the thin film transistor; a passivation film disposed on the gate insulating film to cover the pixel electrode and the thin film transistor; and a common electrode disposed to overlap the pixel electrode and the data line on the passivation film to form a fringe field for aligning liquid crystal together with the pixel electrode.
