A method for fabricating an LCD device includes forming sequentially a
first conductive layer, a first insulation layer, a semiconductor layer,
and an ohmic contact layer on a first substrate; forming a gate line by
patterning the first conductive layer, the first insulation layer, the
semiconductor layer, and the ohmic contact layer; exposing a first gate
pad electrode connected with the gate line; insulating the gate line;
forming a data line that intersects the gate line, wherein an electrode
part is formed extending from the data line such that the electrode part
is formed over the semiconductor layer and the ohmic layer, and defines
an active pattern; forming a transparent electrode layer on the substrate
including the electrode part; and forming source, drain, and pixel
electrodes simultaneously by patterning at least one of the transparent
electrode layer, the electrode part, and the ohmic contact layer.
