Abstract:
1. A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising: forming an active layer on a first substrate, wherein the active layer includes a source region, a drain region, a channel region, and a storage region; forming a first insulation layer on the first substrate; forming a first and second conductive layers on the first substrate; forming a gate electrode, a gate line, a pixel electrode, and a storage line on the first substrate by patterning the first and second conductive layers, wherein storage line overlaps the storage region; forming a second insulation layer on the first substrate; forming first and second contact holes through the first and second insulation layers, wherein the first and second contact holes expose respective ones of the source and drain regions; opening the pixel electrode by removing the second insulation layer and a portion of the second conductive layer on the pixel electrode, wherein the gate electrode, the gate line, and the storage line include the first and second conductive layers, and wherein the pixel electrode includes the first conductive layer; and forming a source electrode electrically connected to the source region through the first contact hole and a drain electrode electrically connected to the drain region through the second contact hole.
