Abstract:
1. An array panel for a liquid crystal display device, comprising: a substrate; a gate line, a gate electrode, a first light shielding pattern and a second light shielding pattern on the substrate, wherein the gate line is connected to the gate electrode, wherein the first light shielding pattern separated from the gate line, and wherein each of the first and second light shielding patterns has the same layer as the gate line; a gate insulating layer on the gate line and the gate electrode; an active layer on the gate insulating layer; an ohmic contact layer on the active layer; a data line, a source electrode, and a drain electrode on the ohmic contact layer, wherein the first light shielding pattern is disposed only at a left side of the data line, wherein the first light shielding pattern includes a main body portion parallel to and separated from the data line and projecting portions each having first and second ends opposite to each other, wherein the first ends of the projecting portions are connected to respective ends of the main body portion, and wherein the second ends of the projecting portions respectively overlap portions of the data line and are spaced apart from each other; a passivation layer on the data line, the source electrode and the drain electrodes; and a pixel electrode on the passivation layer, wherein the second light shielding pattern is parallel to the data line and extends from the gate line, wherein the ohmic contact layer has the same shape as the data line, the source electrode and the drain electrode, wherein the active layer has the same shape as the data line, the source electrode and the drain electrode except for a channel area between the source electrode and the drain electrode, and wherein the channel area has a “U” shape.
