Display substrate and method of manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing a display substrate, comprising:

• forming a first metal pattern including a gate line and a gate electrode connected to the gate line on a base substrate;
• forming a gate insulating layer on the base substrate having the first metal pattern formed thereon;
• forming a second metal pattern including a data line crossing the gate line, a source electrode being connected to the data line and a drain electrode being spaced apart from the source electrode on the base substrate having the gate insulating layer formed thereon;
• forming a first transparent conductive layer including a capping layer capping the second metal pattern and a common electrode formed in a pixel area;
• and
• forming a second transparent conductive layer including a pixel electrode on the base substrate having the first transparent conductive layer formed thereon, the pixel electrode having a plurality of openings, contacting the capping layer capping the drain electrode, and facing the common electrode on the base substrate.
