A chip on glass type liquid crystal display device and a method for fabricating the same are provided in which a surface of a pad electrode for attaching a flexible printed circuit film is embossed to increase an adhesive force between a pad electrode and a flexible printed circuit film, thereby ensuring contact between the pad electrode and the flexible printed circuit film. Unit pixels in an active region contain thin film transistors formed at intersections of gate lines and data lines. A pad electrode is formed in an inactive region. An embossing pattern is formed on the pad electrode. An adhesive is provided on the pad electrode including the embossing pattern and an external drive circuit part is connected to the pad electrode by the adhesive.
