Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a thin film transistor substrate of a horizontal electric field type LCD, comprising the steps of: forming a gate metal pattern group including a gate line, a common line, a gate electrode, a common electrode, a pixel electrode, a lower gate pad electrode, and a lower common pad electrode on a substrate, wherein providing a gate insulating film on the substrate and the gate metal pattern group; forming a semiconductor pattern including an active layer and an ohmic contact layer on the gate insulating film; forming a source/drain metal group including a data line, a source electrode, a drain electrode, a lower pad electrode, a first upper storage electrode, and a second upper storage electrode on the semiconductor pattern, wherein patterning the protective film and the gate insulating film disposed on the substrate to provide first to fourth contact holes and forming a transparent conductive pattern group including an upper gate pad electrode, an upper common pad electrode, and upper data pad electrode, a contact electrode, wherein the transparent conductive pattern group is disposed within the first to fourth contact holes such that the transparent conductive pattern group is absent from the entire upper surface of the protective film.
