An array substrate for a liquid crystal display, which includes a data line in
a first direction; a gate line in a second direction perpendicular to the data
line, wherein the data and gate lines cross to each other to define a pixel region;
a thin film transistor disposed near a crossing of the data and gate lines, the
thin film transistor comprising source, gate and drain electrodes; a black matrix
over the thin film transistor and on the data line, the black matrix exposing a
portion of the drain electrode; a color filter disposed within the pixel region,
the color filter covering a portion of the drain electrode with exposing another
portion of the drain electrode; and a pixel electrode on the color filter within
a pixel region, the pixel electrode contacting an exposed portion of the drain electrode.
