A manufacturing method for an FFS type TFT-LCD array substrate comprises: depositing a first metal film on a transparent substrate, and form a gate line, a gate electrode and a common electrode line by a first patterning process; depositing a gate insulating layer, an active layer film and a second metal film sequentially and patterning the second metal film and the active layer film by a second patterning process; Step 3 depositing a first transparent conductive film and patterning the first transparent conductive film, the second metal film and the active layer film by a third patterning process; depositing a passivation layer, forming a connection hole by patterning the passivation layer through the fourth patterning process, performing an ashing process on photoresist used in the fourth patterning process, depositing a second transparent conductive layer on the remaining photoresist, and forming a common electrode by a lifting-off process.
