Patent ID: 7773180

Claim:
A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising: forming a first counter electrode on a first substrate; forming a common line on the first substrate including the first counter electrode and a gate line on the first substrate; forming a gate insulating layer above the first substrate that covers the gate line; forming a data line that crosses the gate line on the gate insulating layer; forming a thin film transistor at a crossing-portion of the gate line and the data line; forming a protective layer above the gate insulating layer that covers the data line; forming a pixel electrode having a plurality of slits on the protective layer; forming a first orientation layer above the protective layer that covers the pixel electrode; forming a second orientation layer on a second substrate facing into the first substrate; and orienting the first and second orientation layers to be twisted by approximately 90° above the pixel electrode, and orienting the first and second orientation layers to be twisted by approximately 180° above the slits.
