Abstract:
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising:preparing a substrate; forming a gate electrode on the substrate; forming a gate insulating layer on the gate electrode; forming a silicon layer on the gate insulating layer; forming a data line having a source electrode and a data pad, and a drain electrode, on the silicon layer from a metal layer; forming a passivation layer on the data line, source electrode, and drain electrode such that the passivation layer includes openings that expose portions of the data pad and of the drain electrode; forming a data pad contact hole through the exposed portion of the data pad, and forming a drain contact hole through the exposed portion of the drain electrode, such that portions of the gate insulating layer are exposed; and forming a pixel electrode and a data pad electrode by depositing and patterning a transparent conductive material on the passivation layer such that the pixel electrode electrically contacts the drain electrode and such that the data pad electrode electrically contacts the data pad.
