A method for fabricating an LCD device includes forming an active layer having a source region, a drain region and a channel region on the first substrate; forming first and second conductive layers on the first substrate; forming a gate electrode, a gate line and a pixel electrode by patterning the first and second conductive layers, the gate electrode and the gate line being formed as a dual layer having the first and second conductive layers and the pixel electrode being formed of the first conductive layer; forming a contact hole exposing a portion of the source and drain regions; forming a source and drain electrodes electrically connected to the source and drain regions through the contact hole; and forming a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates.
