Patent ID: 7880833

Claim:
A thin film transistor array panel comprising: a substrate; a first gate line and a second gate line formed on the substrate; a storage electrode line between the first gate line and the second gate line; a data line intersecting the first gate line and the second gate line; a first thin film transistor connected to the first gate line and the data line; at least one color filter formed on the first thin film transistor, wherein the color filter comprises a first portion adjacent the first gate line with respect to the storage electrode line, a second portion adjacent the second gate line with respect to the storage electrode line, and a first connection connecting the first portion and the second portion and having a narrower width than that of the first and second portions; a first sub-pixel electrode formed on the color filter and connected to the first thin film transistor; and a second sub-pixel electrode facing the first sub-pixel electrode with respect to a gap, wherein at least one of an edge of the first sub-pixel electrode and an edge of the second sub-pixel electrode crosses over the first connection of the color filter, the edge of the first sub-pixel electrode, and the edge of the second sub-pixel electrode defining the gap between the first sub-pixel electrode and the second sub-pixel electrode.
