Reflective and transflective liquid crystal display devices having black resin

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• first and second substrates facing and spaced apart from each other;
• a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates;
• a backlight device disposed adjacent to the second substrate for generating light;
• a transparent common electrode disposed on the first substrate;
• a gate line disposed on the second substrate along a first direction;
• a data line disposed on the second substrate along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
• a thin film transistor disposed at a crossing of the gate line and the data line;
• a gate insulation layer disposed on the second substrate;
• a passivation layer disposed on the gate insulation layer, the passivation layer having a transmitting hole extending to the gate insulation layer, and the passivation layer made of a black resin;
• a transparent electrode having a first portion disposed on the passivation layer and a second portion disposed within the transmitting hole;
• and
• a reflective electrode formed on the passivation layer,
• wherein the reflective electrode overlaps end portions of the data line.
