Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display (LCD) device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer formed between the first and second substrates; a storage capacitor formed in a first region of the first substrate; a thin film transistor formed in a second region of the first substrate; a gate electrode for the thin film transistor and a storage capacitor electrode spaced apart from the gate electrode, both formed on the first substrate; a first insulating layer formed on an entire surface of the first substrate except an upper portion of the storage capacitor electrode; a second insulating layer formed on the first insulating layer and the storage capacitor electrode; a conductive layer formed on the second insulating layer in the first region overlapping the storage capacitor electrode except both side portions of the storage capacitor electrode in the first region and formed of the same material as a drain electrode of the thin film transistor; and a pixel electrode electrically connected to the conductive layer and a drain electrode of the thin film transistor, wherein the width of the conductive layer is shorter than the width of the storage capacitor electrode, and wherein the storage capacitor is formed by overlapping between the conductive layer connected to the pixel electrode and the storage capacitor electrode connected to the gate line, and the only second insulating layer is disposed between the conductive layer and the storage capacitor electrode.
