Liquid crystal display and a method for manufacturing the same

To improve product yield, light is scanned on a layer on a substrate through a mask. A pattern is formed on the substrate by the exposure of the layer. The direction of scanning is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the pattern. The capacitance difference due to coupling of the pattern to be formed and a conductive layer formed through an insulation layer is reduced. Thus, failures of a display device are reduced and the product yield is increased.
