Liquid crystal display device and method of fabricating the same

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• first and second substrates spaced apart from each other;
• a gate line on the first substrate;
• a data line crossing the gate line to define a pixel region including a transmissive portion and a reflective portion, the data line being divided into first and second branch lines, the first and second branch lines being spaced apart from each other and disposed in the reflective portion of the adjacent pixel regions, respectively;
• a thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line;
• a reflective electrode corresponding to the reflective portion and covering the first and second branch lines;
• a transparent electrode corresponding to the transmissive portion and connected to the reflective electrode;
• a color filter layer on the second substrate;
• a common electrode on the color filter layer;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer between the reflective electrode and the common electrode.
