Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to display devices and methods for manufacturing display devices. Specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure employ a halftone photoresist layer useful for reducing a number of masks needed to manufacture TFT backplane (e.g., thin-film transistors (TFTs) with fringe-field shifting). The halftone photoresist layer defines two areas, one defining an etching area for a first layer (e.g., a common voltage layer) and the other defining an etching area for a second layer (e.g., an organic passivation layer).
