Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display, comprising: forming a lower substrate and an upper substrate, the lower substrate including a plurality of data lines and a plurality of gate lines; a plurality of first pads connected to the data lines; a plurality of second pads connected to the gate lines; and a shorting bar connected to one of the plurality of first pads and the plurality of second pads; forming open portions at an inner upper portion of one of the plurality of first pads and a plurality of second pads; attaching the lower substrate and the upper substrate to face with each other; and scribing the inner portion of the pads to remove the shorting bar and dividing the attached upper and lower substrates into a plurality of LCD panels, wherein the open portions expose a passivation layer beneath one of the first and second pads, wherein the scribing step is carried out by a scribing wheel passing on the locations where the open portion are formed, wherein the shorting bar is grounded to a GND terminal to eliminate static electricity.
