Abstract: An LCD device adapted to prevent a malfunction caused by an electrical current leaking through an electrostatic discharger is disclosed. The LCD device includes the floating line disposed between common line and gate lines or data lines. Electrostatic dischargers are connected between the common line and the floating line as well as between the floating line and the gate lines or the data lines. As such, the LCD device blocks the leakage current caused by the common voltage on the common line from flowing through the electrostatic dischargers. Therefore, the LCD device prevents the increase of electric current consumption and a horizontal defect.
