A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device includes forming a
gate electrode, a gate bus line, and a gate pad on a substrate using a
first mask process, forming a gate insulating layer and an active layer
on an entire surface of the substrate, forming a first organic material
film on an entire surface of the substrate, removing a portion of the
first organic material film to expose a first portion of the gate pad,
depositing a transparent film on an entire surface of the substrate,
patterning the transparent film using a second half-tone mask to form a
data bus line, a source electrode, a drain electrode, a pixel electrode,
a channel layer, and an ohmic contact layer, exposing portions of the
data pad and data bus line using a third mask, forming a second organic
material film on an entire surface of the substrate, depositing a low
resistance material on the data bus line, coating a passivation film on
the substrate, removing the second organic material film using a lift-off
process to expose a second portion of the gate pad and a first portions
of the data pad.
