Disclosed are a liquid crystal display in which a light leakage phenomenon is prevented, and a method of fabricating the same. The liquid crystal display includes: an array substrate; and an opposite substrate facing to the array substrate; and a liquid crystal layer between the array substrate and the opposite substrate. The array substrate includes a first base substrate in which pixel areas are defined, and the first base substrate includes a gate line, a data line crossing the gate line and voltage application lines having two lines disposed at both sides of the gate line and two lines disposed at both sides of the data line, a switching element connected with the gate line and the data line in the pixel area, and a shielding electrode and a pixel electrode on the data line. The data line and the two lines disposed at both sides of the data line at least partially overlap. Therefore, it is possible to fundamentally block light emitted from a lower backlight even without a black matrix, thereby preventing light leakage and improving transmissivity.
