Liquid crystal display with pads having one edge having grooves therein wherein the edge is formed at a cutting line of the shorting bar

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for fabricating a liquid crystal display. The method includes the steps of: forming a lower substrate and an upper substrate, the lower substrate including a data drive circuit connected with data lines of a thin film transistor array and a gate drive circuit connected with gate lines of the thin film transistor array, a pad part connected with the gate drive circuit and the data drive circuit, and a shorting bar connected with the pad part, the upper substrate including a color filter and a black matrix; dispensing a spacer on the lower substrate and forming a seal pattern at a display region on the upper substrate; attaching the lower substrate and the upper substrate to face with each other and then forming holes at an inner upper portion of the pads at a predetermined distance; scribing the holes-formed-portion of the pads to remove the shorting bar and dividing the attached upper and lower substrates into a plurality of LCD panels; and providing a liquid crystal layer between the upper and lower substrates.
