An array substrate for a liquid crystal display device includes a gate
line on a substrate having a display region and a non-display region,
wherein the non-display region is about a periphery of the display region
and the gate line includes a gate pad disposed in the non-display region
at one end of the gate line, a data line crossing the gate line, wherein
the data line includes a data pad disposed in the non-display region at
one end of the data line, a thin film transistor connected to the gate
line and the data line, a passivation layer over the gate line and the
data line, a pixel electrode on the passivation layer in the display
region, a first conductive pattern on the passivation layer in the
non-display region and an orientation film on the first conductive
pattern.
