A thin film transistor array substrate for a liquid crystal display panel
includes a gate line formed on a substrate. A data line crosses the gate
line, thus defining a pixel region. A gate insulating film is positioned
between the data line and the gate line. A thin film transistor is formed
at a crossing of the gate line and the data line. A passivation film
pattern exposes a portion of a drain electrode of the thin film
transistor. At least one protrusion is provided to divide the pixel
region into a plurality of regions, each of the regions having a
different liquid crystal alignment from the other regions. A pixel
electrode is connected to the thin film transistor to cover the pixel
region excluding the passivation film pattern and the at least one
protrusion.
