Abstract
A liquid crystal display device and a fabricating method thereof for simplifying a process are disclosed. A liquid crystal display device comprising first and second substrates; a gate line on the first substrate; a gate insulating film on the first substrate; a data line crossing the gate line to define a pixel area; a pixel hole in the pixel area; a pixel electrode formed of a transparent conductive layer on the gate insulating film in the pixel hole in the pixel area; and a thin film transistor including a gate electrode, a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a semiconductor layer, wherein the semiconductor layer overlaps with a source/drain metal pattern including the data line, the source electrode, and the drain electrode; wherein the drain electrode protrudes from the semiconductor layer toward an upper portion of the pixel electrode, and the drain electrode connects to the pixel electrode; and wherein the semiconductor layer is removed from where it overlaps the transparent conductive layer.
