Liquid crystal display device and method for manufacturing the same

A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• forming a gate electrode, a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of gate pads, and dummy portions on a first substrate, each dummy portion having a pattern similar to a pattern of the plurality of gate pads in a region between the plurality of gate pads;
• forming a gate insulating film on the first substrate;
• forming a semiconductor layer and a ohmic contact layer on the gate insulating film;
• forming source and drain electrodes, a plurality of data lines, and a plurality of data pads on the first substrate;
• forming a passivation film on the first substrate;
• forming a pixel electrode on the passivation film;
• and
• forming a first alignment layer on the first substrate.

A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• forming a gate electrode, a plurality of gate lines, and a plurality of gate pads on a first substrate;
• forming a gate insulating film on an entire surface of the first substrate;
• forming a semiconductor layer and a ohmic contact layer on the gate insulating film;
• forming a source and drain electrode, a plurality of data lines crossing the plurality of gate lines, a plurality of data pads, and a plurality of dummy portions, each dummy portion having a pattern similar to a pattern of the plurality of data pads in regions between the plurality of data pads;
• forming a passivation film on the first substrate;
• forming a pixel electrode on the passivation film;
• and
• forming a first alignment layer on the first substrate.
