Patent ID: 7365818

Claim:
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising the steps of: forming a gate electrode and a gate bus line on a transparent lower substrate; forming an insulating layer on the gate electrode and gate bus line; forming an active layer on the insulating layer; forming a source electrode, a drain electrode and a data bus line; forming a passivation layer on the transparent lower substrate; forming a refraction layer on the passivation layer; and forming a pixel electrode on a surface of the refraction layer; wherein the refraction layer is formed between one of the data and gate bus lines and the pixel electrode, and both peripheral portions of the refraction layer overlap a portion of one of the data and gate bus lines and a portion of the pixel electrode; and wherein the refraction layer refracts and transmits substantially all of the light incident in a direction from the lower substrate towards an upper substrate so that light incident between one of the data and gate bus lines and the pixel electrode is blocked by a black matrix formed to overlap a peripheral portion of the pixel electrode and to correspond to the gate line and the data line.
