Abstract:
1. A method for fabricating an array substrate for an in-plane switching (IPS) mode liquid crystal display device, the method comprising: forming a gate line in a first direction; forming a common line in the first direction; forming a gate insulating layer on the gate line and the common line; forming a data line on the gate insulating layer in a second direction; forming a thin film transistor at an intersections between the gate line and the data line, wherein the thin film transistor includes a gate electrode, the gate insulating layer, an active layer, a source electrode, and a drain electrode; forming a passivation film on the data line and the thin film transistor; forming a pixel electrode on the passivation film located on a pixel region defined by the gate line and the data line, the pixel electrode being electrically connected to the drain electrode; forming a common electrode on the passivation film; and forming a common electrode connection line connected to the common electrode and the common line, wherein the common electrode connection line overlaps with the common line and the drain electrode.
