Array substrate for liquid crystal display device and the fabrication method of the same

An array substrate for an active matrix type liquid crystal display (LCD) device, said method comprising:

• a substrate;
• a gate line above on substrate;
• a gate pad at one end of said gate line such that a gate pad contact hole is formed to expose said substrate;
• a first insulating layer on said gate line;
• a data line over said first insulating layer to form a crossing point between said gate and data lines and said data line extending into a direction of said gate line to form a source electrode, and wherein a data pad is formed at one end of said data line;
• a drain electrode formed space apart from said source electrode over said gate line, said drain electrode also extending into a rectangular region defined by said gate and data lines;
• and
• a pixel electrode formed over the structure and electrically connected to said source and drain electrodes, gate pad, and data pad, and wherein said pixel electrode is extended over a portion of said gate line as a capacitor electrode of a storage capacitor such that said storage capacitor includes said portion of said gate line, said extended portion of said pixel electrode, and said first insulating layer disposed inbetween.
