A thin film transistor (TFT) array panel with improved contact between the
display signal lines and test lines is presented. The TFT array panel
includes: gate lines and data lines intersecting each other, switching
elements connected to the gate lines and the data lines, and at least one
test line disposed near end portions of the gate lines or the data lines.
An insulating layer covers the gate lines, the data lines and the
switching elements and has first contact holes exposing the end portions
of the gate lines or the data lines and second contact holes exposing the
test lines. Auxiliary test lines are formed on the insulating layer and
commonly connected to conductive layers, wherein the conductive layers
connect at least one test line to the gate lines or the data lines via
the first and the second contact holes.
