Abstract

A liquid crystal display (LCD) device includes a first substrate and a second substrate, an organic light emitting element formed by interposing a first insulating layer on an outer surface of the first substrate, a second insulating layer and a protective layer formed in order over an entire surface of the organic light emitting element, a thin film transistor formed on the first substrate, a passivation layer formed over an entire surface of the first substrate including the thin film transistor, a pixel electrode formed on the passivation layer to be connected to the thin film transistor, a common electrode formed on the second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer formed between the first substrate and the second substrate. A method for fabricating the LCD includes the steps of forming a first insulating layer on an outer surface of a first substrate, forming an organic light emitting element on the first insulating layer, forming a second insulating layer over an entire surface of the organic light emitting element, forming a protective layer on the second insulating layer, forming a thin film transistor on the first substrate, forming a passivation layer over an entire surface of the first substrate including the thin film transistor, forming a pixel electrode on the passivation layer, and forming a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and a second substrate.

Claims (17)

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

depositing an inorganic insulating layer on a first surface of a first substrate, wherein the inorganic insulating layer is made of one of silicon oxide and silicon nitride;

after depositing the inorganic insulating layer, sequentially depositing a first electrode on the inorganic insulating layer, an organic light emitting layer on the first electrode and a second electrode on the organic light emitting layer to form an organic light emitting diode;

forming a thin film transistor array for a liquid crystal display panel on a second surface of the first substrate;

providing a liquid crystal layer for the liquid crystal display panel on the second surface of the first substrate; and

attaching the first substrate to a second substrate for the liquid crystal display panel,

wherein the liquid crystal panel and the organic light emitting diode use the first substrate in common.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the organic light emitting layer comprises:

forming a hole transport layer;

forming an light emitting layer; and
