A liquid crystal display having a horizontal electric field includes:a
thin film transistor array substrate, wherein the thin film transistor
array substrate includes an effective display area having a gate line, a
common line parallel to the gate line, a data line crossing and isolated
from the gate line and the common line with a gate insulating film
therebetween to define a pixel area, a thin film transistor formed at
each crossing of the gate line and the data line, a passivasion film to
protect the thin film transistor, a common electrode formed in the pixel
area and connected to the common line and a pixel electrode connected to
the thin film transistor, and a pad area having a gate pad having at
least one conductive layer included in the gate line, a data pad having
at least one conductive layer included in the data line, a common pad
having at least one conductive layer included in the common line; a color
filter array substrate combined with the thin film transistor array
substrate to face each other; a driving integrated circuit mounted on the
thin film transistor substrate to directly connect to one of the gate pad
and the data pad; and a package mold material capsulating the pads and
the driving integrated circuit.
