Array substrate for fringe field switching mode liquid crystal display device

摘要

A method of manufacturing an array substrate for an FFS mode LCD device includes forming a gate line, a gate electrode and a pixel electrode on a substrate; forming a gate insulating layer; forming a data line, source and drain electrodes, and a semiconductor layer on the gate insulating layer, the drain electrode overlapping the pixel electrode; forming a passivation layer on the data line, the source and drain electrodes; forming a contact hole exposing the drain electrode and the pixel electrode by patterning the passivation layer and the gate insulating layer; and forming a common electrode and a connection pattern on the passivation layer, wherein the common electrode includes bar-shaped openings and a hole corresponding to the contact hole, and the connection pattern is disposed in the hole, is spaced apart from the common electrode and contacts the drain electrode and the pixel.
