A liquid crystal display with horizontal electric field consists of liquid crystal layer set between the first and the second base plates, a numbers of grid lines and data lines on the first base plate for forming a pixel region, pixel electrode on the first base plate in said pixel region, a face-opposite electrode on the second base plate in position corresponding to one of data lines, a pair of protection electrode on the first base plate as one data line set between this pair and a share electrode with two units being separately set near to pixel electrode and set in corresponding to one of data lines. |
