Liquid crystal display and fabrication method thereof

A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display,

• comprising a substrate, an electrode line, an electrode pad, an electrode link connecting the electrode line and the electrode pad, a sealant crossing the electrode link between the electrode line and the electrode pad, and an organic protective film and a gate insulating film formed on the substrate, the method comprising:
• patterning the organic protective film and the gate insulating film in an area coated with the sealant such that the sealant directly contacts the substrate, wherein said patterning includes providing a groove in the organic protective film and the gate insulating film, said groove extending along a direction in which the sealant is formed,
• wherein the liquid crystal display further comprises a second electrode line, a second electrode pad, and a second electrode link connecting the second electrode line and the second electrode pad, and wherein patterning the organic protective film and the gate insulating film includes defining at least one hole at the organic protective film and the gate insulating film between the electrode links,
• wherein said organic protective film and said gate insulating film are etched more widely than said area coated with the sealant, and
• wherein each of the electrode links is stacked with the patterns of the gate insulating film and the organic protective film.
