Abstract: An in-plane switching (IPS) mode liquid crystal display (LCD) device having a color filter on TFT (COT) structure therein and a method for manufacturing the same is disclosed to improve picture quality by decreasing the reflection of external light above the data line, to obtain the economic efficiency, simplify the manufacturing process by forming a light-shielding layer of a metal material, and to solve the problem of decreasing aperture ratio after bonding lower and upper substrates to each other.
