Abstract

A thin film transistor substrate, capable of being assembled, is attached to a filter substrate to provide a semi-finished liquid crystal display panel. The thin film transistor substrate includes a base substrate with thin film transistors formed thereon, wiring assemblies formed on the substrate and electrically connected to the corresponding thin film transistors selectively, metal sheets formed on the base substrate, a protection layer formed on the thin film transistors, the wiring assemblies, and the metal sheets, and a buffer module formed on the protection layer. The buffer module is positioned above a projection of a cutting line onto the base substrate, and the surplus materials of the filter substrate are removed along the cutting line.
