Embodiments of the invention relate to a stereoscopic image display device using a pattern retarder method, which offers an increased vertical viewing angle and a method for fabricating the same. The stereoscopic image display device comprises: a display panel including data lines, gate lines crossing the data lines, and a plurality of pixels formed in cell areas defined by the crossings of the data lines and the gate lines; and a pattern retarder including a first retarder for passing only left circularly polarized light therethrough and a second retarder for passing only right circularly polarized light therethrough, wherein a plurality of air holes are formed in a first plane of a first substrate of the display panel, and the long axis direction of the air holes is the same as the long axis direction of the first retarder and the second retarder.
