The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display panel and a
fabricating method thereof that is capable of enhancing crystallization
efficiency of an active layer and simplifying the fabricating process. A
fabricating method of a liquid crystal display panel includes forming a
gate electrode on a substrate; forming a gate insulating film on the gate
electrode formed thereon; forming an amorphous silicon film on the gate
insulating film; forming an insulating pattern on the amorphous silicon
film; crystallizing the amorphous silicon film into a polycrystalline
silicon film using a derivative metal, the polycrystalline silicon film
having source, drain and channel areas, wherein the insulating pattern
overlaps the channel area of the polycrystalline silicon film; and
forming source and drain electrodes on the polycrystalline silicon film,
wherein the source and the drain electrodes contacting the source and
drain areas of the polycrystalline silicon film, respectively.
