Patent ID: 8754998

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate divided into a pixel part and first and second pad parts; a gate electrode and a gate line formed at the pixel part of the first substrate; an active pattern formed over the gate electrode with a first insulation film interposed therebetween; an ohmic-contact layer formed on source and drain regions of the active pattern on the first substrate; source and drain electrodes made of an opaque conductive material formed on the ohmic-contact layer to have a same width as that of the ohmic-contact layer and connected with the source and drain regions of the active pattern, respectively, via the ohmic-contact layer; source and drain electrode patterns made of a transparent conductive material to cover some upper portions of the source and drain electrodes, respectively, wherein other upper portions of the source and drain electrodes are exposed; a data line formed at the pixel part of the first substrate and crossing the gate line to define a pixel region; a pixel electrode formed of an extended portion of the drain electrode pattern and connected with the drain electrode via the drain electrode pattern; a second insulation film formed on the first substrate which the pixel electrode formed thereon to cover the source and drain electrode patterns except the pixel electrode; and a second substrate attached to the first substrate in a facing manner.
