Thin film transistor array panel and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

A thin film transistor array panel includes: an substrate; a gate line and a gate pad portion disposed on the substrate; a gate insulating layer disposed on the gate line and the gate pad portion; a data line and a data pad portion disposed on the gate insulating layer; a gate assistance pad portion disposed at a position corresponding to the gate pad portion; a first insulating layer disposed on the data line and removed at the gate pad portion and the data pad portion; a first field generating electrode disposed on the first insulating layer; a second insulating layer disposed on the first field generating electrode and removed at the gate pad portion and the data pad portion; and a second field generating electrode disposed on the second insulating layer. The assistance gate pad portion and the gate insulating layer include a contact hole exposing the gate pad portion.
