Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising: forming first connection lines, second connection lines and a gate connection pattern on a first substrate including an active area, a signal input area and a pad area, wherein the signal input area and the pad area are disposed at a periphery of the active area, and the gate connection pattern contacting the first connection lines and the second connection lines in the signal input area; forming a common electrode on a second substrate; forming a shortage-preventing pattern, wherein the shortage-preventing pattern corresponds to the gate connection pattern; forming a seal pattern surrounding the active area, the seal pattern including a conductive ball; attaching the first and second substrates such that the shortage-preventing pattern faces the gate connection pattern; and forming a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates in the seal pattern.
