Abstract:
1. A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising: providing a gate electrode, a gate line and a dummy pattern on a substrate; forming a first insulation film formed of a glass powder on the gate electrode and the gate line; providing a switching element at a portion of the gate electrode, the switching element comprising a source electrode, a drain electrode and an active layer; providing a data line on the substrate that intersects with the gate line; forming an amorphous silicon thin film pattern at a lower portion of the data line; forming a second insulation film on the substrate having the source electrode, the drain electrode, the active layer and the data line; removing a portion of the second insulation film to form a first contact hole exposing a portion of the drain electrode; and forming a pixel electrode electrically connected with the drain electrode through the first contact hole; wherein the dummy pattern is formed adjacent to at least one side of the data line, and wherein some portions of the amorphous silicon thin film pattern are formed on the first insulation film and other portions of the amorphous silicon thin film pattern are formed on the substrate.
