Patent ID: 7625770

Claim:
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display (LCD) comprising: forming a first conductive pattern group including a gate line, a gate electrode connected to the gate line, a common line between the gate line and a pre-stage gate line in such a manner to cross the gate line and a vertical part of a pixel electrode parallel to the common line on a substrate; forming a gate insulating layer on the substrate provided with the first conductive pattern group; forming a semiconductor pattern on the gate insulating layer; forming a data line crossing the gate line to define a pixel area, a source electrode connected to the data line and a drain electrode opposed to the source electrode on the gate insulating layer provided with the semiconductor pattern; forming a protective layer on the substrate provided with the data line, the source electrode and the drain electrode; and forming a common electrode connected to the common line and overlapping the vertical part of the pixel electrode and a finger part of the pixel electrode overlapping the common line, the common electrode and the finger part of the pixel electrode forming a horizontal electric field during an operation of the LCD.
