Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising: forming a gate line and a gate electrode on a substrate; forming a gate insulating layer on the gate electrode; forming an active layer on the gate insulating layer and a shielding pattern with outer sides on the active layer; forming a data line crossing the gate line to define a pixel region; forming source and drain electrodes spaced apart from each other and having inner sides; forming ohmic contact layers between the active layer and each of the source and drain electrodes, wherein at least one of the outer sides faces at least one of the inner sides of the source and drain electrodes; and forming a pixel electrode in the pixel region and connected to the drain electrode, wherein the source electrode has a “U” shape, the drain electrode has a bar shape, and the shielding pattern has a “U” shape.
