Claims
- 1. A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display comprising: (a) a first substrate; (b) a second substrate spaced away from and facing said first substrate; (c) a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between said first and second substrates; (d) a first electrode formed on said first substrate at a surface facing said liquid crystal layer; and (e) a second electrode formed on said first substrate at a surface facing said liquid crystal layer, and cooperating with said first electrode to form a pixel, said first and second electrodes generating an electric field therebetween to thereby implement in-plane switching,
- said method comprising the steps, in sequence, of:
- (a) forming a raised portion at a surface of said first substrate;
- (b) forming a first metal layer on said raised portion of said first substrate;
- (c) patterning said first metal layer into a first electrode;
- (d) covering said first electrode with an interlayer insulating layer;
- (e) forming a second metal layer on said interlayer insulating layer; and
- (f) patterning said second metal layer into said second electrode above a region other than a region where said raised portion is formed.
- 2. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein said liquid crystal display further comprises an insulating film formed on said first substrate, and wherein said first metal layer is formed on said insulating film.
