Abstract:
1. An array substrate for a liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising: first and second gate lines crossing a data line on a substrate to define first and second pixel regions; a thin film transistor (TFT) including a source electrode that extends from the data line, a drain electrode spaced apart from the source electrode, a semiconductor layer on an insulating layer positioned between the gate electrode and the source and drain electrodes; a first metal pattern on the semiconductor layer that extends from the drain electrode and overlaps a common line; a second metal pattern that extends from the first metal pattern towards the second pixel region; a passivation layer disposed on the source and drain electrodes and on the first and second metal patterns; a common electrode on the passivation layer and connected to the common line; a first pixel electrode on the passivation layer and connected to the first metal pattern; and a repair pattern on the passivation layer that extends from a second pixel electrode of the second pixel region at one end thereof and overlaps the second metal pattern at another end thereof to define a repairing portion.
