Liquid crystal display device with photosensor and method of fabricating the same

A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device with a photosensor comprising:

• preparing a first substrate including a color filter layer;
• preparing a second substrate including thin film transistor and photosensor regions;
• and
• forming a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates,
• wherein preparing the second substrate includes:
• forming a buffer layer on the second substrate;
• forming semiconductor layers on the buffer layer of the thin film transistor and photosensor regions;
• forming an insulation film on the second substrate to cover the semiconductor layer;
• forming a gate electrode, overlapped with the semiconductor layers, on the insulation film of the thin film transistor region, and forming an ion implanting prevention film on the insulation film of the photosensor region;
• forming at least one of n+-type and p-type ion implantation regions in the semiconductor layer of the thin film transistor region, and forming at least one of n+-type and p-type ion implantation regions, an ion non-implantation region and a lightly doped region in the semiconductor layer of the photosensor region by using the gate electrode and the ion implanting prevention film, at the same time;
• forming a passivation film on an entire surface of the second substrate;
• forming a first contact hole exposing source and drain regions of the semiconductor layer in the thin film transistor region and source and drain regions of the semiconductor layer in the photosensor region, and forming a second contact hole passing through the passivation film above the ion non-implantation region of the photosensor region by exposing the ion implanting prevention film or removing some or entire portions of the ion implanting prevention film;
• and
• forming a metal film on the second substrate including the first and second contact holes, and patterning source and drain electrodes connected with the semiconductor layer of the thin film transistor through the first contact hole, and source and drain electrodes connected with the semiconductor layer of the photosensor region through the first contact hole, at the same time.
