Patent ID: 7522225

Claim:
An array substrate device for a liquid crystal display device, comprising: a gate line disposed along a first direction on a substrate; a gate pad on the substrate and connected to a first end of the gate line; a gate insulating layer on the substrate covering the gate line and the gate pad; a data line disposed along a second direction over the gate insulating layer and crossing the gate line to define a pixel region; a data pad connected to a first end of the data line; a thin film transistor disposed at a crossing region of the gate and data lines; a first inorganic insulating layer formed on the substrate covering the thin film transistor, the data line, and the data pad; a first organic insulating layer along an entire surface of the first inorganic insulation layer except at portions corresponding to the gate and data pads; a transparent pixel electrode disposed over the first organic insulating layer and connected to the thin film transistor; and a transparent gate pad terminal and a data pad terminal disposed over the first inorganic insulating layer and connected to the gate and data pads, respectively, wherein the gate pad terminal and the data pad terminal do not contact the first organic insulating layer.
