A liquid crystal display has a pad structure. The pad structure includes at least one pad formed on a substrate, an insulating film formed on the pad, and at least one conductive layer connected to the pad through contact holes defined through the insulating film. The insulating film covers side surfaces of the pad and a portion of the substrate adjacent to the side surfaces of the pad.

Pad structure for liquid crystal display and method of manufacturing thereof

A liquid crystal display device, and a fabricating method thereof, that is capable of providing uniform liquid cell gaps. A main seal defines a liquid crystal injection area. A first step coverage-compensating layer is provided between a substrate on which the main seal has been coated and the main seal. A plurality of dummy seals is arranged external to the main seal. A second step coverage-compensating layer having the same thickness as the first step coverage-compensating layer is provided between the substrate on which the dummy seals are arranged and the dummy seals. Accordingly, a main seal and dummy seals having the same thickness produce uniform liquid crystal cell gaps. The liquid crystal display device is beneficially made by a fabrication process employing four or five masks.

Liquid crystal display device having more uniform seal heights and its fabricating method

A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display using a negative photo-resist. A passivation layer covering a thin film transistor, a data line, and a gate line is formed on a transparent substrate. The passivation layer is patterned to define a contact hole that exposes a drain electrode. A transparent conductive film in electrical contact with the drain electrode via the contact hole is then formed on the passivation layer. A negative-type photoresist is coated on the transparent conductive film. The transparent conductive film is then exposed with an image of the desired pixel electrode. The negative-type photoresist is then developed to expose portions of the transparent conductive film over a data line, a gate line, and the area of the thin film transistor area. The exposed transparent conductive film is then etched.

Method of fabricating liquid crystal display

A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device includes the steps of forming a gate electrode on a transparent substrate; forming a gate insulating film, an active layer and an ohmic contact layer on the transparent substrate to cover the gate electrode; forming a source electrode and a drain electrode on the ohmic contact layer and patterning the drain electrode to form an L-shaped portion and a plurality of protrusions; forming a protective layer on the source and drain electrodes such that side surfaces of the protective layer, the drain electrode, the ohmic contact layer and the active layer are exposed; and forming a pixel electrode on the protective layer to electrically contact the side surface of the drain electrode.

Liquid crystal display having a drain electrode with a plurality of protrusions and a fabrication method thereof

A liquid crystal display device includes dummy patterns formed between gate links and between data links. The gate links and data links are coated with a sealant to obtain the same height as a liquid crystal area at the opposite side thereof through the dummy patterns, providing a uniform cell gap.

Liquid crystal display device and fabricating method thereof

A liquid crystal display device includes a transparent substrate, a gate electrode disposed on the transparent substrate, a gate insulating film disposed on the transparent substrate and covering the gate electrode, an active layer disposed on the gate insulating film, an ohmic contact layer disposed on the active layer, a source electrode disposed on the ohmic contact layer and at one side of the gate electrode, a drain electrode disposed on the ohmic contact layer and at another side of the gate electrode, the drain electrode including an L-shaped portion and a plurality of protrusions, a protective layer disposed on the active layer covering upper surfaces of the source electrode and the drain electrode, and a pixel electrode disposed on the protective layer and electrically contacting a side surface of the drain electrode.

Liquid crystal display and fabricating method thereof

A liquid crystal display device and a fabricating method thereof wherein four masks are used so as to reduce a process. In the device, a gate electrode is formed on a transparent substrate. A gate insulating film is formed on the transparent substrate to cover the gate electrode. An active layer is provided at a portion corresponding to the gate electrode on the gate insulating film. Source and drain electrodes are intervened by an ohmic contact layer on the active layer. A contact portion is connected to and extended from a portion of the drain electrode opposed to the source electrode and has an exposed side surface. A passivation layer is formed on the active layer in such a manner to cover the source and drain electrodes, but to expose the side surface of the contact portion. A pixel electrode is formed on the gate insulating film in such a manner to contact the exposed side surface of the contact portion. Accordingly, the contact portion connected to and extended from a portion of the drain electrode opposed to the source electrode or a plurality of comb-shaped contact portions having the exposed side surfaces are formed in such a manner to overlap with the black matrix of the upper plate provided with color filters. Accordingly, the pixel electrode contacts the side surface of the contact portion overlapping with a black matrix of an upper plate to be electrically connected to the drain electrode, so that an aperture ration can be improved.
