A liquid crystal display (LCD) device is provided. The LCD includes first and second substrates, a gate line formed on the first substrate, a data line formed on the first substrate with the data line intersecting the gate line, a thin film transistor (TFT) formed on the first substrate and connected to the gate line and to the data line, a storage line formed on the substrate which is parallel with the gate line, and a pixel electrode formed on the first substrate and connected to a drain electrode of the TFT. The LCD further includes a black matrix formed on the second substrate, with the black matrix overlapping a channel of the TFT.
