Liquid crystal display device and method of fabricating same

A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• forming a gate pattern having a first transparent conductive layer and a second opaque second conductive layer using a first mask, the gate pattern including a pixel electrode, a gate electrode and a gate line;
• forming a first insulating film and a semiconductor layer on the gate pattern, and a source/drain pattern having a storage upper electrode, a drain electrode, a source electrode, a data line using a second mask;
• forming a transmission hole exposing the first conductive layer of the pixel electrode in a transmissive area using a third mask;
• forming a second insulating film over the source/drain pattern using a fourth mask;
• and
• forming a reflective electrode in a reflective area using a fifth mask, wherein the reflective electrode is directly connected with the pixel electrode, the drain electrode and the storage upper electrode within the transmission hole.

A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• forming a gate line including a first transparent conductive layer;
• forming a gate insulating film on the gate line;
• forming a data line crossing the gate line to define a pixel region;
• forming a thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line;
• forming a pixel electrode having a second transparent conductive layer;
• forming a storage capacitor including a storage upper electrode overlapping the gate line;
• forming a transmission hole exposing at least a portion of the second transparent conductive layer of the pixel electrode;
• and
• forming a reflective electrode so that the reflective electrode is directly connected with the pixel electrode, the thin film transistor and the storage upper electrode within the transmission hole.
