Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating a thin film transistor substrate for a display device having a plurality of thin film transistors and pixel electrodes connected to the thin film transistors, said method comprising the steps of: forming a gate insulating film in a display area and in a non-display area of the display device; forming a plurality of signal lines on the gate insulating film in the non-display area for applying signals to the thin film transistors in the display area; forming a protective film covering the thin film transistors and the signal lines; forming a photo-resist pattern on the protective film; patterning the protective film and the gate insulating film using the photo-resist pattern to form a slit adjacent to the plurality of signal lines; forming a transparent conductive film on the photo-resist pattern and within the slit; and removing the photo-resist pattern and a portion of the transparent conductive film on the photo-resist pattern with a stripper that infiltrates between the photo-resist pattern and the protective film through the slit.
