Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display comprising: forming a gate electrode pattern, a gate line pattern, a common electrode and a pixel electrode formed of a first conductive film on a first substrate through a first masking process, wherein the common electrode and the pixel electrode are formed as a single layer; forming a gate electrode, a gate line, and a connection electrode formed of a second conductive film on a first substrate through the first masking process, wherein the gate electrode pattern and the gate line pattern are patterned near the lower portion of the gate electrode and the gate line, respectively; forming a first insulation film on the first substrate on which the gate electrode, the gate line, the connection electrode, the gate electrode pattern, the gate line pattern, the common electrode and the pixel electrode are formed; forming an active pattern on the first insulation film; forming a second insulation film on the substrate to expose a pixel region; forming a first contact hole exposing a portion of the connection electrode, and second and third contact holes exposing a portion of the active pattern near the left and right potions of the gate electrode, respectively, through a second masking process; forming an etch stopper between the second and third contact holes on the active pattern, wherein the etch stopper is formed of the second insulation film; forming source and drain electrodes that are operationally connected with the portion of the active pattern through the second and third contact holes, respectively; and attaching the first substrate to a second substrate.
