Patent ID: 8283670

Claim:
A liquid crystal display panel, comprising: a thin film transistor array substrate having a gate line and a data line provided on the substrate in such a manner as to cross each other; a gate insulating film between the gate line and the data line on the thin film transistor array substrate; a thin film transistor provided adjacent to the crossing of the gate line and the data line on the thin film transistor array substrate, the thin film transistor having a source, drain and gate electrodes; a pixel electrode connected to and directly contacting the drain electrode of the thin film transistor on the thin film transistor array substrate; a protective film for protecting the thin film transistor on the thin film transistor array substrate; a plurality of pads respectively connected to one of the gate line and the data line in a pad area of the thin film transistor array substrate; a transparent electrode pattern formed on the data line, source electrode and drain electrode of the thin film transistor array substrate; and a color filter array substrate joined to the thin film transistor array substrate so that the color filter substrate does not overlap the pad area of the thin film transistor array substrate.
