Thin film transistor substrate and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a thin film transistor array panel includes; forming a gate line including a gate electrode and a height increasing member on a substrate, forming a gate insulating layer on the gate line and the height increasing member, forming a semiconductor, a data line including a source electrode, and a drain electrode facing the source electrode and overlapping at least a portion of the height increasing member on the gate insulating layer, forming a first insulating layer on the gate insulating layer, a data line and the drain electrode, forming a light-blocking member on a portion of the first insulating layer corresponding to the gate line and the data line, forming a color filter in an area bound by the light-blocking member, forming a second insulating layer on the light-blocking member and the color filter, and patterning the second insulating layer, the light-blocking member or the color filter, and the first insulating layer to form a contact hole exposing a portion of the drain electrode aligned with the height increasing member.
