Patent ID: 8593606

Claim:
A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display (LCD), the method comprising: forming a gate line with a first conductive pattern, a gate electrode of a thin film transistor (TFT) connected with the gate line, and a common line separated from the gate line on a substrate; coating a gate insulating layer on the entire surface of the substrate and forming a semiconductor pattern at a certain region on the gate insulating layer; forming a data line with a second conductive pattern on the semiconductor pattern such that it crosses the gate line to define a pixel area, a source electrode of the TFT connected with the data line, and a drain electrode of the TFT facing the source electrode; coating a passivation film on the entire surface of the substrate, and patterning the passivation film and the gate insulating layer to expose a portion of the common line and a portion of the drain electrode; forming a common electrode with a third conductive pattern connected with the exposed common line; and forming a pixel electrode with the third conductive pattern connected with the exposed drain electrode to form a horizontal electric field at the pixel area, the pixel electrode facing the common electrode, wherein the third conductive pattern is formed as a transparent conductive film having an embossed surface through haze processing.
