US Patent 7525624 Liquid crystal display device and fabricating method thereof

A liquid crystal display device includes first and second substrates facing each other; a liquid crystal material between the first and second substrates; gate and data lines crossing each other on the first substrate to define a pixel region; a thin film transistor adjacent to the crossing of the gate and data lines; a color filter pattern in the pixel region; a first passivation layer on the color filter pattern, the first passivation layer made of an inorganic insulating material; and a pixel electrode on the first passivation layer and electrically connected to the thin film transistor.
