Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A liquid crystal display device includes a gate line and a gate electrode connected to the gate line, on a substrate; a gate insulating layer on the gate electrode and the gate line; an active layer on the gate insulating layer over the gate electrode; an ohmic contact layer on the active layer; first source and drain electrodes on the ohmic contact layer; second source and drain electrodes connected to the first source and drain electrodes, respectively; a data line extending from the source electrode and crossing the gate line to define a pixel region; and a pixel electrode in the pixel region and extending from the second drain electrode.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device comprising: using a first mask process to form a gate line, a gate pad extending from the gate line and a gate electrode on a substrate, a gate insulating layer on the gate electrode and the gate line, an active layer on the gate insulating layer over the gate electrode, an ohmic contact layer on the active layer, and first source and drain electrodes on the ohmic contact layer; using a second mask pr…
