Patent ID: 7525617

Claim:
A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising: providing a first substrate and a second substrate; forming a gate electrode, a gate electrode line and a common electrode line on the first substrate; forming a first insulating layer on the gate electrode; forming an active layer and source/drain electrodes on the first insulating layer; forming a second insulating layer on the source/drain electrodes; forming a photosensitive film on the second insulating layer; forming a photosensitive film pattern by patterning the photosensitive film; selectively removing a part of the second insulating layer by using the photosensitive film pattern to form a plurality of trench patterns in the second insulating layer; forming a conductive layer on the photosensitive film pattern and in the plurality of trench patterns; removing the photosensitive film pattern and a part of the conductive layer formed thereon, to form a pixel electrode electrically connected to the drain electrode and a common electrode electrically connected to the common electrode line; forming a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates; and attaching the first substrate to the second substrate.
