A liquid crystal display device, including: first and second substrates; a
gate line on the first substrate; a data line crossing the gate line
having a gate insulating film therebetween to define a pixel area; a
pixel electrode formed of a transparent conductive film in a pixel hole
passing through the gate insulating film in the pixel area; and a thin
film transistor including a gate electrode, a source electrode, a drain
electrode, and a semiconductor layer defining a channel between the
source electrode and the drain electrode, wherein the semiconductor layer
overlaps with a source and drain metal pattern including the data line,
the source electrode and the drain electrode; and wherein the drain
electrode protrudes from the semiconductor layer toward inside of the
pixel electrode to be connected to the pixel electrode.
