Abstract
A thin film transistor array panel is provided, which includes: a substrate; a first signal line formed on the substrate; a second signal line formed on the substrate and intersecting the first signal line; a thin film transistor connected to the first and the second signal lines; a pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor; a regular domain defining member partitioning the pixel electrode into a plurality of partitions; and a subsidiary domain defining member extending substantially parallel to the regular domain defining member and disposed near edge or middle of the partitions.
