Abstract

A display panel according to the present invention includes a first insulating substrate with a gate line and a data line formed thereon. A thin film transistor is connected to the gate line and the data line and a partition is formed according to the gate line and the data line defining a color filter filling region. Color filter is formed as a convex shape since both circumferences of upper portion and lower portion of the partition are larger than that of center portion. A color filter is formed in the filling region. A passivation layer is formed on the color filter and the partition and a pixel electrode on the passivation layer connected to the thin film transistor through a contact hole punching the passivation layer and the color filter.
