Patent ID: 6862052

Claim:
A thin film transistor (“TFT”) array panel for a liquid crystal display (“LCD”) comprising: a gate wire formed on an insulating substrate, the gate wire including gate lines, and first and second gate electrodes connected to the gate lines and spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance; a gate insulating layer covering the gate wire; first and second semiconductor layers formed on the gate insulating layer opposite the first and the second gate electrodes, respectively; a data wire including first and second data lines intersecting the gate lines to define pixel areas and spaced apart tram each other by a predetermined distance, first and second source electrodes which are respective parts of the first and the second data lines, and first and second drain electrodes respectively facing the first and the second source electrodes; a passivation layer with first and second contact holes respectively exposing the first and the second drain electrodes; and a pixel electrode connected to the first and the second drain electrodes, wherein the pixel electrode overlaps the first and the second data lines to cover an entire width of the first and the second data lines.
