A horizontal electric field type liquid crystal display is disclosed. The horizontal electric field type liquid crystal display includes a gate line on a substrate, a data line crossing the gate line with a gate insulating layer interposed between the gate line and the data line, the gate line and the data line defining a pixel area, a thin film transistor (TFT) connected to the gate line and the data line, a pixel electrode that is connected to the TFT to receive a data signal, a common electrode pattern on which a common voltage is supplied, and a pixel common electrode that is electrically connected to the common electrode pattern to form a horizontal electric field together with the pixel electrode. The pixel common electrode contacts the common electrode pattern in a non-display area of an upper portion at one side of the pixel area.
