Patent ID: 8208085

Claim:
A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising: providing a first substrate divided into a pixel part and first and second pad parts; forming a gate electrode and a gate line at the pixel part of the first substrate; forming an active pattern as an island to have narrower width than that of the gate electrode over the gate electrode; forming a data line crossing the gate line with a first insulation film therebetween to define a pixel region at the pixel part of the first substrate; forming source and drain electrodes made of an opaque conductive material at the pixel part of the first substrate; forming source and drain electrode patterns made of a transparent conductive material to cover some upper portions of the source and drain electrodes, respectively, and forming a pixel electrode made of the transparent conductive material through one masking process, wherein other upper portions of the source and drain electrodes are exposed and wherein the drain electrode is electrically connected with the pixel electrode via the drain electrode pattern; forming a second insulation film to cover the exposed upper portions of the source and drain electrodes, and to cover the source and drain electrode patterns except for the pixel electrode on the first substrate; and attaching the first substrate and a second substrate.
