Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a gate line and a data line crossing each other to define a pixel region on a substrate; a gate electrode connected to the gate line; a gate insulating layer on the gate electrode; an active layer on the gate insulating layer; source and drain electrodes on the active layer, spaced apart from each other and each having inner sides that face each other, wherein the source electrode is connected to the data line; ohmic contact layers between the active layer and each of the source and drain electrodes; a shielding pattern over the active layer and having outer sides, wherein at least one of the outer sides faces at least one of the inner sides of the source and drain electrodes; and a pixel electrode in the pixel region and connected to the drain electrode, wherein the source electrode has a “U” shape, the drain electrode has a bar shape, and the shielding pattern has a “U” shape.
