Patent ID: 6894753

Claim:
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal displays comprising steps of: forming a gate line assembly on a first substrate, the gate line assembly comprising a gate line and a gate electrode; depositing a gate insulating layer; forming a semiconductor pattern; forming a data line assembly, the data line assembly comprising a source electrode and a drain electrode and a data line, the gate line and the data line defining a pixel region; depositing a protective layer; patterning the protective layer and the gate insulating layer to expose a portion of the drain electrode and to form a protrusion comprising the gate insulating layer and the protective layer; depositing a first transparent conductive layer; and patterning the first transparent conductive layer to form a pixel electrode connected to the drain electrode and covering the protrusion and to form an opening in the pixel electrode, the protrusion and the opening dividing the pixel region into a plurality of domains.
