A liquid crystal display device and a method of fabricating the same are provided. The liquid crystal display device includes: a lower substrate having an opening region and a non-opening region adjacent to the opening region; a pixel electrode located on the opening region; an upper substrate located above the lower substrate and having an opposite surface facing the lower substrate; a protrusion type light shielding layer pattern located on a portion of the opposite surface corresponding to the non-opening region; an opposite electrode located on the protrusion type light shielding layer pattern; and an OCB mode liquid crystal layer located between the pixel electrode and the opposite electrode.
