1. A fabricating method of an array substrate for a transflective liquid crystal display device, comprising:
sequentially depositing a first metal layer and an impurity-doped amorphous silicon layer on a substrate;
etching the first metal layer and the impurity-doped amorphous silicon layer through a first mask process to form source and drain electrodes, a data line and an ohmic contact layer;
sequentially depositing an amorphous silicon layer, a first insulating layer and a second metal layer on the source and drain electrodes, the data line and the ohmic contact layer;
etching the amorphous silicon layer, the first insulating layer and the second metal layer through a second mask process to form a gate electrode, a gate line, an active layer and a plurality of convex patterns, the gate line defining a pixel region with the data line;
forming a second insulating layer on the gate electrode, the gate line and the plurality of convex patterns;
forming a reflective plate on the second insulating layer at the pixel region through a third mask process, the reflective plate having a transmissive hole and an unevenness;
depositing a third insulating layer on the reflective plate;
etching the third insulating layer through a fourth mask process to form a drain contact hole exposing the drain electrode and a transmissive groove corresponding to the transmissive hole; and
forming a pixel electrode on the third insulating layer through a fifth mask process, the pixel electrode being connected to the drain electrode through the drain contact hole.
