An array substrate for a transflective liquid crystal display device and its fabrication method are discussed. In one embodiment, a method of forming an array substrate for a display device, includes forming a gate pad on a pad region of a base substrate; forming a gate insulator on the gate pad, the gate insulator having an opening exposing a portion of the gate pad; forming an auxiliary pad pattern on the gate insulator, the auxiliary pad pattern being made of an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer; and forming a conductive layer on the auxiliary pad pattern, the conductive layer contacting the gate pad through the opening.
