1. A liquid crystal display (LCD) device having a first substrate having an active layer with source/drain regions formed therein, the LCD device comprising:
a gate line formed on the substrate extending in a first direction;
a dummy gate electrode formed on the substrate;
a data line formed on the substrate extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction;
a first insulating layer formed on the substrate and covering the gate line and the dummy gate electrode;
a drain electrode having a first portion connected to the drain region and a second portion extending above the dummy gate electrode;
a second insulating layer formed on the first insulating layer and covering the data line, the second insulating layer having a contact hole defined therein exposing the second portion of the drain electrode; and
a transparent conductive layer formed above the second insulating layer, overlapping at least a portion of the data line, and contacting the drain electrode through the contact hole defined in the second insulating layer.
