Patent ID: 8045080

Claim:
A thin film transistor array panel comprising: a substrate; a gate line disposed on the substrate; a data line intersecting the gate line; a thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line; a color filter disposed on upper parts of the gate line, the data line, and the thin film transistor; a first electrode disposed on the color filter and comprising a transparent conductor; a passivation layer disposed on an upper part of the first electrode; and a second electrode disposed on an upper part of the passivation layer and connected to a drain electrode of the thin film transistor, wherein the second electrode comprises a plurality of branch electrodes inclined at an angle to the gate line or the data line, and a connection part connecting the plurality of branch electrodes, wherein the color filter comprises an opening and the passivation layer comprises a first contact hole to contact the drain electrode with the second electrode.
