A TFT array substrate has a PAI pattern, and the PAI pattern has an over-etched
portion of the pure amorphous silicon layer. This over-etched portion prevents
a short between the pixel electrode and the pure amorphous silicon layer (i.e.,
the active layer). The over-etched portion also enables the aperture ratio to increase
a gate line over a said substrate; a data line over the said substrate being perpendicular
to the gate line; a passivation layer covering the data line, the passivation layer
divided into a residual passivation layer and a etched passivation layer; a doped
amorphous silicon layer formed under the data line and corresponding in size to
the data line; a pure amorphous silicon layer formed under the doped amorphous
silicon layer and having a over-etched portion in the peripheral portions, wherein
the over-etched portion is over-etched from the edges of the residual passivation
layer toward the inner side; an insulator layer under the pure amorphous silicon
layer; a TFT formed near the crossing of the gate line and the data line; and a
pixel electrode overlapping the data line and contacting the TFT.
