Abstract:
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising the steps of:forming a first metal layer on a substrate to form a gate line including a gate electrode, a gate pad, and a first capacitor electrode; forming an insulating layer, an active layer, and a second metal layer on the substrate; patterning the second metal layer to form a data line including a data pad, a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a second capacitor electrode; forming a passivation layer to cover the second metal layer; forming a photoresist on the passivation layer; exposing the photoresist using a mask having a light shielding portion, a light transmissive portion, and a semi-transmissive portion; forming a first photoresist portion, a second photoresist portion, and a third photoresist portion; patterning the passivation layer, the active layer, and the insulating layer; and forming a pixel electrode on the passivation layer such that the pixel electrode electrically contacts an upper surface of the second capacitor electrode through a contact hole formed in the passivation layer.
