Array substrate for fringe field switching mode liquid crystal display device and method for fabricating the same

摘要

A fringe field switching (FFS) mode LCD device and method for fabricating the same are discussed, whereby the device includes a gate line 103 formed In one direction on a surface of a first substrate 101; a data line113a formed on the first substrate and crossed with the gate line to thereby define a pixel region; a thin-film transistor T formed on the first substrate and formed at an intersection of the gate line and the data line; an insulating layer 107 having an opening portion121 located at an upper portion of the thin-film transistor to expose at least a gate portion of the thin-film transistor; a pixel electrode 123a formed at an upper portion of the insulating layer, and connected to the drain 113c of the exposed thin-film transistor; a passivation layer 127 formed at the upper portion of the insulating layer; and a plurality of common electrodes133a formed at an upper portion of the passivation layer and separated from one another. This arrangement allows the size of the black matrix to be reduced from A1 to A2 which provides an increase in the transmittance of the pixel.
