Abstract

The present invention discloses a photo mask employing in a TFT-LCD fabrication using 4-mask process. The disclosed photo mask comprises a transparent substrate and a shielding pattern formed thereon, wherein the shielding pattern includes a pair of first shielding patterns each having the rectangular shape disposed with separation to cover source and drain formation regions, a pair of second shielding patterns of a bar type disposed between the first shielding patterns and third shielding patterns of a bar type disposed on lower and upper portions of the first and the second shielding patterns to make a clear division between a light transmittance region and a light shielding region on the edge of a channel region.
