Liquid crystal display device

Abstract

A liquid crystal display device wherein pattern badness generated during the process is eliminated to reduce a repair. In the device, a trench-shaped hole is defined by patterning a passivation layer and a gate-insulating layer at the peripheries of a gate line and a data line to expose a transparent substrate. Accordingly, a portion protruded for the pixel area caused by pattern badness in the semiconductor layer and the gate line also is removed by the trench-shaped holes defined by patterning the passivation layer and the gate insulating layer at the peripheries of the gate line and the data line, so that a separate repair process is not required.
