Patent ID: 8384870

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a display substrate comprising: forming a first conductive pattern on a base substrate, and the first conductive pattern includes a data line, a coupling line protruding from the data line, a gate electrode of a first switching element, a gate electrode of a second switching electrode, a sub-storage electrode remaining in an electrically floating state in a first pixel area and a second pixel area adjacent to the first pixel area; forming a second conductive pattern on the base substrate having the first conductive pattern formed thereon, and the second conductive pattern including a first gate line, a second gate line adjacent to the first gate line, a source electrode of the first switching element, and a main storage electrode disposed in a boundary area between the first and second pixel areas; and forming a third conductive pattern on the base substrate having the second conductive pattern formed thereon, and the third conductive pattern including a first contact electrode connecting the first gate line with the gate electrode of the first switching element, a second contact electrode connecting the data line with the source electrode of the first switching element, a third contact electrode connecting the second gate line with the gate electrode of the second switching element, the fourth contact electrode connecting the coupling line with the source electrode of the second switching element, a first pixel electrode formed in the first pixel area, and a second pixel electrode formed in the second pixel electrode.
