Abstract: Provided are a thin-film transistor (TFT) substrate which can facilitate the formation of contact holes and has improved reliability and a method of fabricating the TFT substrate. The TFT substrate includes a gate wiring formed on an insulating substrate; a data wiring defining a pixel region by intersecting the gate wiring, the data wiring including a source electrode and a drain electrode; a plurality of black matrix barrier ribs formed along the boundaries of the pixel region; a color filter formed to cover the pixel region; a pixel electrode formed on the color filter; and a plurality of contact holes formed through the color filter near the corners of the pixel region through which the pixel electrode and the drain electrode contact each other.
