Abstract

A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal layer clamped between a first and second substrates. The method includes the steps of: forming a pixel electrode pattern on the first substrate; painting a resist film on the pixel electrode pattern; exposing and developing the resist film and forming a resist pattern having a shape on the pixel electrode pattern in which multiple branches extend outwardly from both sides of a main stem connecting among the multiple braches; and conducting an ashing process and a thermosetting process for the resist pattern. Liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer orient approximately in vertical to a surface of the liquid crystal layer in a non-driving state, and the liquid crystal molecules orient approximately in parallel to the surface of the liquid crystal layer in a driving state.
