Abstract:
1. A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display including a plurality of pixels, the method comprising the steps of: forming a gate pattern, including a plurality of separated gate lines and a gate electrode array electrically connected with the separated gate lines, in a substrate; forming a channel array, isolated from the gate electrode array; forming a source/drain pair array, with the source and drain spaced apart from each other, in the channel array; and forming a pixel electrode array to connect the drains of the source/drain pair array; wherein the steps for forming the gate pattern or the source/drain pair array, at least, comprise the steps of: forming a photoresist layer; dividing the photoresist layer into a first region, a second region, and a boundary region, divided into a first portion and a second portion by a boundary line, between the first region and the second region; defining the first region and the first portion with a first mask; and defining the second region and the second portion with a second mask; wherein the boundary region corresponds to a sub-array of the gate electrode array or the source/drain pair array; for each row of the gate electrodes or each row of the source/drain pairs in the sub-array, the boundary line is formed in a special pattern; the gate electrodes or the source/drain electrode pairs at the boundary region defined by both of the first and second masks are divided into a first portion patterned by the first mask and a second portion patterned by the second mask; the boundary region is divided incrementally or by square wave such that the area of each of the gate electrodes or the source/drain electrode pairs in the first portion increases along the boundary direction and that in the second portion decreases along the boundary direction.
