TFT-LCD array substrate for testing the short/open-circuit of electric line and a method for fabricating the same
The present invention discloses an array substrate of an active-matrix LCD device for testing the short and the open and a method of fabricating the same. For the purpose of the test, the array substrate of a liquid crystal display (LCD) device beneficially includes the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer having gate cutting holes penetrating the first and second insulation layers and the gate shorting bar connectors. The gate cutting holes are formed between the first gate shorting bar and the second gate pads and between the second gate shorting bar and the first gate pads. And the second insulation layer has source cutting holes penetrating the first and second insulation layers and the source shorting bar connector. The source cutting holes is formed between the first source shorting bar and the second source pads and between the second source shorting bar and the first source pads. And more particularly, at least one of the gate and source cutting holes has an uneven side portion in order to cut the shorting bar connectors easily, and the gate and source shorting bar connectors are thinner than the gate and source lines.
