In a display panel and a method of manufacturing the display panel, a gate line, a data line, and source and drain electrodes including a same material as the data line are formed on a substrate constituting the display panel, and the data line includes an aluminum based alloy containing sufficient nickel to inhibit corrosion during dry etching. The corrosion resistance of the AlNi-containing alloy helps prevent corrosion of the data line, the source electrode, and the drain electrode during selective dry etching that shapes these lines and electrodes.
