Abstract:
An array panel for a liquid crystal display device includes a substrate, a gate line and a gate electrode on the substrate, wherein the gate line is connected to the gate electrode, a gate insulating layer on the gate line and the gate electrode, an active layer on the gate insulating layer, an ohmic contact layer on the active layer, a data line, a source electrode, and a drain electrode on the ohmic contact layer, wherein the data line, the source electrode, and the drain electrode are formed of molybdenum, a passivation layer on the data line, the source and drain electrodes, and a pixel electrode on the passivation layer, wherein the ohmic contact layer has the same shape as the data line, the source, and drain electrodes, and the active layer has the same shape as the data line, and the source electrode, and the drain electrode except for a channel area between the source electrode and the drain electrode, and the channel area has a nullUnull shape.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display is provided that includes a first substrate including a thin film transistor and a storage capacitor, a second substrate including a color filter layer with a recess at a location opposite to the storage capacitor, a common electrode on the color filter layer, and a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates. Spacers are provided between the first and second substrates to maintain a gap therebetween. In regions that include the storage capacitor, the recess compensates for a height difference in layers forming the capacitor on the first substrate to maintain a substantially uniform liquid crystal layer thickness over the whole region of the liquid crystal display, and thus provides a high quality picture.
