Patent ID: 8329486

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a thin film transistor array panel, the method comprising: forming a thin film transistor on top of a light-passing substrate; forming a color filter on the thin film transistor; depositing a first passivation layer on the color filter; forming a first photosensitive film on the first passivation layer and causing the first photosensitive film to have a first photosensitive film pattern that comprises a first portion and comprises a second portion that is thicker than the first portion, the first photosensitive film pattern exposing the first passivation layer around a circumference of the second portion; removing the exposed first passivation layer using the first photosensitive film pattern as an etch mask; blanket etching a whole surface of the first photosensitive film pattern until the thinner first portion is removed while part of the comparatively thicker second portion remains to thereby form a second photosensitive film pattern; depositing a conductive layer on the second photosensitive film pattern; and removing the second photosensitive film pattern to thereby lift off correspondingly supported parts of the conductive layer and thus form a pixel electrode with a left behind portion of the conductive layer.
