Abstract
Disclosed are a liquid crystal display and a fabricating method thereof enabling to improve an opening ratio of the liquid crystal display by modifying a structure of a thin film transistor. Each pixel of the liquid crystal display includes a gate line formed on a substrate in one direction with a predetermined interval from another one, a data line formed in a direction perpendicular to the gate line so as to define a pixel area, a thin film transistor formed on the gate line at an intersection between the gate and data lines, and a pixel electrode formed in the pixel area.
Claims11
A liquid crystal display comprising:
- a gate line formed on a substrate in one direction with a predetermined interval from other gate lines;
- a data line formed in a direction perpendicular to the gate line so as to define a pixel area;
- a thin film transistor formed on the gate line at an intersection between the gate and data lines;
- and
- a pixel electrode formed in the pixel area.
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display, comprising:
- forming a gate line on a substrate;
- depositing a gate insulating layer on an entire surface of the substrate having the gate line formed thereon;
- forming an island-like semiconductor layer on the gate insulating layer over the gate line;
- and
- forming a data line on the gate insulating layer in a direction perpendicular to the gate line so as to be overlapped with one side off the semiconductor layer and forming a drain electrode over the gate line so as to be overlapped an the opposing side of the semiconductor layer.
