Abstract

Discussed are an FFS mode LCD device capable of enhancing a transmittance ratio by including a color filter of a three-dimensional pattern structure having a transmissive pattern for selectively transmitting light of a specific wavelength by using a surface plasmon phenomenon, and a method for fabricating the same. The metal layer using a surface plasmon is utilized as a common electrode of the array substrate, and the pixel electrode having slits is formed on the metal film, thereby generating a fringe field. This may simplify the entire processes, and remove color filter processing lines, thereby reducing the installation costs.
