Abstract
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device and a method for fabricating the same is disclosed in which deterioration of picture image resulting from different lengths of interconnection lines is compensated with a capacitor having a layered structure. To this end, interconnection line part for applying a signal from a driving integrated circuit to an LCD panel is formed with different thickness, or a conductive layer is formed on a substrate of the interconnection line part so that a center portion of the conductive layer is wider than an outer portion of the conductive layer.
