Liquid crystal display comprising a semiconductor formed in an opening of a partition formed on a source electrode and a drain electrode and method of manufacturing thereof

A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display, comprising:

• forming a data line on a first substrate;
• forming a first insulating layer on the data line;
• forming a gate line including a gate electrode on the first insulating layer;
• forming a second insulating layer on the gate line and the first insulating layer;
• forming a first partition including a first opening exposing the gate electrode, the forming a first partition including patterning the second insulating layer;
• forming a gate insulator in the first opening;
• forming a source electrode connected to the data line and a pixel electrode including a drain electrode facing the source electrode on the gate insulator;
• forming a third insulating layer on the source electrode and the pixel electrode;
• forming a second partition having a second opening exposing portions of the source and drain electrodes, the forming a second partition including patterning the third insulating layer;
• forming a semiconductor in the second opening;
• forming a common electrode on a second substrate;
• and
• assembling the first and second substrates by contacting the second substrate to the second partition.
