Apparatus for fabricating a flat panel display device and method thereof

An apparatus for forming a layer pattern of a display device, the apparatus comprising:

• a first line configured to form a transparent conductive metal layer on a substrate;
• a second line configured to receive the transparent conductive metal layer on the substrate from the first line and temporarily change a transparency of the metal layer by changing the transparent conductive metal layer into a less-transparent conductive metal layer, wherein the second line blackens the metal layer using plasma deposition or a plasma source;
• a third line configured to receive the less-transparent conductive metal layer on the substrate from the second line and perform exposure and development on the substrate having the less-transparent conductive metal layer to pattern the less-transparent conductive metal layer;
• and
• a fourth line configured to receive the patterned less-transparent conductive metal layer on the substrate and perform annealing on the patterned less-transparent conductive metal layer to change the less-transparent conductive metal layer back to the transparent conductive metal layer;
• wherein the first line forms the transparent conductive metal layer on an entire surface of the substrate, and
• wherein the second line blackens the transparent conductive metal layer formed on the entire surface of the substrate.
