A thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate includes a substrate, a gate electrode, a gate line, a first data line, and a second data line on the substrate, a gate insulating layer that covers the gate electrode and the gate line and includes a first opening that exposes a portion of the first data line and a second opening that exposes a portion of the second data line, an active layer disposed on the gate insulating layer so that at least one portion of the active layer overlaps the gate electrode, a drain electrode and a source electrode that extend from opposite sides of the active layer, a pixel electrode that extends from the drain electrode, and a connection wiring that extends from the source electrode, and connects the first data line to the second data line through the first and second openings of the gate insulating layer.
