Abstract

A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display device comprises: providing a transparent substrate; forming a gate electrode and a gate line on the substrate; forming a semiconductor layer pattern on the gate electrode; forming source/drain electrode and a data line vertically intersecting the gate line and defining a pixel region; and forming a striped passivation layer on the data line and on the thin film transistor.

Claims (50)

1. A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising:

providing a first substrate;

forming a gate electrode and a gate line on the substrate;

forming a semiconductor layer pattern on the gate electrode;

forming source/drain electrode and a data line substantially perpendicular to the gate line and crossing the gate line to define a pixel region;

forming a striped passivation layer on the data line and on the thin film transistor,

providing a second substrate facing the first substrate; and

providing liquid crystal between the first and second substrate.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the striped passivation layer comprises:

providing a cliche having a groove;

filling a resist into the groove;

applying the resist filled in the groove of the cliché onto an etching objection layer on the first substrate; and

etching the etching objection layer by using the resist applied on an etching objection layer as a mask.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein applying the resist to the etching objection layer comprises:

transferring the resist filled in the groove of the clichéonto the surface of a printing roll; and

applying the resist of the printing roll onto the etching objection layer by rotating the printing roll.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the etching objection layer is an insulation layer.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the insulation layer contains inorganic material such as SiOx or SiNx.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the insulation layer contains an organic material such as BCB (benzocyclobutene) or acryl.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

forming a pixel electrode contacting the drain electrode in the pixel region.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein a portion of the pixel electrode is formed on the dram electrode not covered by the striped passivation layer.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

forming a storage electrode over the gate line when the source/drain electrode is formed.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

forming a storage line substantially parallel with the gate line in the pixel region.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the storage line is formed at the same time that the gate line is formed.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the storage line is formed substantially parallel to and adjacent to the data line in the pixel region.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the storage line is formed at the same time that the data line is formed.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the striped passivation layer has a constant width.

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

providing a first substrate;

forming a gate electrode and a gate line on the substrate;

forming a semiconductor layer pattern on the gate electrode;

forming source/drain electrode and a data line substantially perpendicular to the gate line and crossing the gate line to define a pixel region;

forming a striped passivation layer on the data line and on a thin film transistor by roll printing an organic material onto the first substrate;

providing a second substrate facing the first substrate; and

providing liquid crystal between the first and second substrate.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

forming a pixel electrode contacting the drain electrode in the pixel region.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein a portion of the pixel electrode is formed on the drain electrode not covered by the striped passivation layer.

18. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

forming a storage electrode over the gate line when the source/drain electrode is formed.

19. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

forming a storage line substantially parallel with the gate line in the pixel region.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the storage line is formed at the same time that the gate line is formed.

21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the storage line is formed substantially parallel to and adjacent to the data line in the pixel region.

22. The method of claim 21 , wherein the storage line is formed at the same time that the data line is formed.

23. The method of claim 15 , wherein the striped passivation layer has a constant width.

24. The method of claim 15 , wherein the organic material contains BCB (benzocyclobutene), polyimide or acryl.
