A display substrate includes a first metal pattern, a first insulating layer, a first electrode, and a second metal pattern. The first metal pattern includes a gate line and a signal line. The first insulating layer is disposed on a substrate having the first metal pattern formed thereon. A first opening passes through the first insulating layer to partially expose the signal line. The first electrode is disposed on the first insulating layer corresponding to a unit pixel. The second metal pattern includes a connection electrode contacting the first electrode and the signal line through the first opening and a data line.
