An array substrate for a liquid crystal display device includes a substrate, a gate line on the substrate, a thin film transistor including a gate electrode of the gate line, a gate insulating layer over the gate electrode, an active layer on the gate insulating layer and ohmic contact layers on the active layer, and source and drain electrodes over the ohmic contact layers, a pixel electrode electrically connected to the drain electrode, a data line electrically connected to the source electrode and crossing the gate line, a common electrode spaced apart from the pixel electrode, and a passivation layer directly between the pixel electrode and the common electrode and directly between the source and drain electrodes.
