Abstract

A thin film transistor array panel is provided, which includes an insulating substrate, a gate line formed on the insulating substrate, a gate insulating layer covering the gate line, a data line formed on the gate insulating layer, a lower passivation layer covering the data line, an upper passivation layer formed on the lower passivation layer and made of organic insulating material, and a pixel electrode formed on the upper passivation layer. The thicknesses of the gate insulating layer, the lower passivation layer, and the pixel electrode are respectively represented as d G , d P , and d I , the refraction indexes of the gate insulating layer, the passivation layer, and the pixel electrode are respectively represented as n G , n P , and n I , and condition equations are satisfied according to: 4( d G n G +d P n P )=, which is an even multiple of the wavelength; and 4d I n I =, which is an even multiple of the wavelength.
