Patent ID: 7400366

Claim:
A method of forming an array substrate, comprising: forming a gate line on a substrate extending along a first direction having a gate electrode extending from the gate line; sequentially forming an active layer of intrinsic amorphous silicon and an ohmic contact layer of extrinsic amorphous silicon layer over the gate electrode; simultaneously forming a data line, a data pad, a gate pad, a source electrode, and a drain electrode, the data line disposed to perpendicularly cross the gate line and defining a pixel region, wherein the gate electrode, the active and ohmic contact layers, and the source and drain electrode constitute a thin film transistor; forming a black matrix to overlap the thin film transistor, the gate line, and the data line except for a first portion of the drain electrode; forming a first transparent electrode layer to overlap the black matrix, the first transparent electrode contacting the portion of the drain electrode; forming a color filter on the first transparent electrode layer in the pixel region and a color filter pattern above a first end of the gate line; and forming a second transparent electrode layer along an entire surface of the substrate to cover the color filter, the color filter pattern, and the first transparent electrode layer.
