Liquid crystal display device and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

A method for manufacturing the LCD device includes forming a thin film transistor array having gate and data lines crossing to each other, defining pixel regions on a substrate, and thin film transistors arranged at crossings of the gate and data lines; forming a passivation layer over the entire surface of the substrate; forming a contact hole in the passivation layer exposing drain electrodes of each thin film transistor; forming an amorphous indium tin oxide film on the passivation layer; selectively crystallizing portions of the amorphous indium tin oxide film within the pixel regions by selectively irradiating light onto the amorphous indium tin oxide thin film; and forming a pixel electrode by selectively removing uncrystallized portions of the amorphous indium tin oxide thin film.
