Claim Text:
1. A method for fabricating a thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate, the method comprising: forming a plurality of TFTs on a first substrate; forming a photoresist layer on the TFTs; patterning the photoresist layer by an exposing and developing manner to form a plurality of spacers corresponding to the TFTs and to define a plurality of gaps disposed between two adjacent spacers, each of which is located on a drain of the corresponding TFT; forming a color filter layer covered on the TFTs, the color filter layer comprising a plurality of color filter units corresponding to the gaps, each of which is filled in the corresponding gap; removing the spacer to define a plurality of openings corresponding to each color filter unit to expose the drain of the corresponding TFT while forming the color filter layer; forming a plurality of pixel electrodes corresponding to the openings on the color filter layer and configuring the pixel electrodes to electrically connect to the drain of the TFT via the corresponding opening; wherein each of the color filter units simultaneously covers a source electrode, a path layer, and a partial drain electrode of the corresponding TFT.
