Patent ID: 7612836

Claim:
A method for fabricating an LCD device comprising: providing first and second substrates; forming an active area having a source region, a drain region, a channel region, and a storage region on the first substrate; forming a first insulation film on the first substrate; forming a gate electrode, a gate line and a pixel electrode on the substrate and forming a storage line partially overlapping with the storage region, wherein the storage region of the active area is positioned between the gate line and a lower end of the pixel electrode, wherein the storage region of the active area does not overlap with the pixel electrode, and wherein the storage line is substantially parallel to the gate line; forming a second insulation film on the first substrate; forming first and second contact holes exposing a portion of the source and drain regions by removing a portion of the first and second insulation films and exposing the pixel electrode by removing the second insulation film on the pixel electrode; and forming a source electrode electrically connected to the source region through the first contact hole and forming a drain electrode electrically connected to the drain region through the second contact hole and partially overlapping with the storage line, wherein the drain electrode extends toward the pixel electrode by crossing an upper portion of the storage line.
