Abstract:
A thin film transistor array panel and a manufacturing method thereof according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention form a contact hole in a second passivation layer formed of an organic insulator, protect a side of the contact hole by covering with a protection member formed of the same layer as the first field generating electrode and formed of a transparent conductive material, and etch the first passivation layer below the second passivation layer using the protection member as a mask. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the second passivation layer formed of an organic insulator from being overetched while etching the insulating layer below the second passivation layer so that the contact hole is prevented from being made excessively wide.

In a display substrate and a method of manufacturing the display substrate, the display substrate includes a data line, a channel pattern, an insulating pattern and a pixel electrode. The data line extends in a direction on a base substrate. The channel pattern is disposed in a separate region between an input electrode connected to the data line and an output electrode spaced apart from the input electrode. The channel pattern makes contact with the input electrode and the output electrode on the input and output electrodes. The insulating pattern is spaced apart from the channel pattern on the base substrate and includes a contact hole exposing the output electrode. The pixel electrode is formed on the insulating pattern to make contact with the output electrode through the contact hole. Thus, a damage of the oxide semiconductor layer may be minimized and a manufacturing process may be simplified.
