Patent ID: 7158206

Claim:
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising the following steps: forming a gate line on a first substrate; forming a data line crossing the gate line; forming a switching element connected to the gate line and the data line; forming a pixel electrode connected to the switching element; forming a black matrix on a second substrate using a sputter, wherein the sputter includes a shield mask having an open portion having dimensions larger than size dimensions of the second substrate and includes a susceptor having an upper surface on which the second substrate is located, such that a portion of the upper surface of the susceptor not covered by the second substrate is partially exposed through the open portion; forming a color filter layer on the black matrix; forming a common electrode on the color filter layer; attaching the first and second substrates such that the pixel electrode faces the common electrode; and forming a liquid crystal layer between the pixel electrode and the common electrode.
