Patent ID: 7776635

Claim:
A fabricating method of an array substrate for an in-plane switching liquid crystal display device, comprising: forming a gate line and a common line on a substrate, the common line spaced apart from the gate line; forming a data line crossing the gate line to define a pixel region; forming a thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line; forming a pixel electrode and a common electrode in the pixel region, each of the pixel electrode and the common electrode including an opaque metal layer; forming a gate pad at one end of the gate line; forming a data pad at one end of the data line; forming a gate pad terminal contacting the gate pad and a data pad terminal contacting the data pad; disposing a blocking means directly over the gate pad terminal and the data pad terminal; and forming a metal oxide layer on the opaque metal layer of the pixel and common electrodes by irradiating ultraviolet rays onto the opaque metal layer after disposing the blocking means.
