An array substrate device having a color filter-on-thin film transistor
(COT) structure for a liquid crystal display device includes a gate line
formed on a substrate along a transverse direction, the gate line
including a gate pad at one end thereof, a first insulating layer formed
on the substrate to cover the gate line, the first insulating layer
exposing a first portion of the gate pad, a data line formed over the
first insulating layer along a longitudinal direction on the substrate,
the data line defining a pixel region with the gate line and including a
data pad at one end thereof, a thin film transistor formed at a crossing
region of the gate and data lines, the thin film transistor including a
gate electrode, a semiconductor layer, a source electrode, and a drain
electrode, a black matrix overlapping the thin film transistor, the gate
line, and the data line except a second portion of the drain electrode, a
second insulating layer formed over an entire surface of the substrate to
cover the black matrix, the second insulating layer exposing the first
portion of the gate pad, a third portion of the data pad, and the pixel
region, a first pixel electrode within the pixel region and contacting
the second exposed portion of the drain electrode, a color filter on the
first pixel electrode within the pixel region, and a second pixel
electrode on the color filter and contacting the first pixel electrode.
