Abstract:
The invention provides an integrated dark matrix for an active matrix liquid crystal display. A plurality of pixel electrodes (38,72) overlap (710) at least one of a plurality of gate lines (34) and a plurality of data lines (32). A perimeter of the pixel electrodes overlaps the gate lines and/or data lines by twice the distance (718) that the pixel electrode is above the gate and data lines, respectively to obtain a viewing angle of over 60 degrees.
