Patent ID: 8785263

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a thin-film transistor substrate, the method comprising: providing a gate line, and a gate electrode connected to the gate line, on a base substrate; providing an insulating layer on the base substrate having the gate line and the gate electrode thereon; providing a data line and an electrode pattern on the base substrate having the insulating layer thereon, the data line extended in a direction crossing the gate line and the electrode pattern connected to the data line; hydrophobic-treating a surface of the insulating layer by using the data line and the electrode pattern as a mask; providing a source electrode and a drain electrode from the electrode pattern, the source electrode connected to the data line and the drain electrode spaced apart from the source electrode; providing a semi-conductor pattern overlapping the source electrode, the drain electrode and a gap between the spaced apart source and drain electrodes; and providing a pixel electrode on the base substrate having the semi-conductor pattern thereon, the pixel electrode connected to the drain electrode.
