Liquid crystal display device array substrate and method of manufacturing the same

A liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising:

• a substrate;
• a gate line on the substrate and extending along a first direction, the gate line having an opening therein;
• a first insulating layer on the gate line;
• a semiconductor layer on the first insulating layer over at least a portion of the opening;
• a data line on the insulating layer and extending along a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction;
• a drain electrode on the semiconductor layer over at least a portion of the opening;
• and
• a source electrode on the semiconductor layer, extending from the data line and being separated and spaced apart from the drain electrode.
