Patent ID: 7915063

Claim:
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device having a matrix array of liquid crystal cells, comprising the steps of: forming a plurality of drive lines to extend along a first direction on a substrate; forming a plurality of pad lines to extend from the drive lines at a first angle from the first direction; forming a plurality of pads to extend at the first angle and connected to the pad lines; forming an insulating film material on the substrate to cover the pad lines and the pads; forming a contact hole in the insulating film to expose one of the pads; and forming an electrode pattern on the insulating film to connect to the pad through the contact hole, wherein each of the plurality of pads extends at the same angle as the angle of the corresponding pad line and is connected to the corresponding pad line for supplying external drive signals, wherein the pads and the pad lines are formed at relatively large angles in a case where the drive lines are located at an upper or lower part of a driving circuit, and wherein the plurality of drive lines includes at least one of gate lines and data lines.
