This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2004-0085683, filed on Oct. 26, 2004, which is hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.
1. Field of the Invention
The present description relates to a thin film transistor (TFT) array panel for a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic light emitting display (OLED), and a method for manufacturing the same.
The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and together with the description serve to explain the principles of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a layout view of a TFT array panel for an LCD according to an embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the TFT array panel shown in FIG. 1 taken along the line II-II.
Embodiments of the present invention are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings in which preferred embodiments of the invention are shown. The present invention may, however, be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure fully conveys the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
In the drawings, the thickness of layers, films, and regions are exaggerated for clarity. Like numerals refer to like elements throughout. It will be understood that when an element such as a layer, film, region, or substrate is referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present.
TFT array panels and manufacturing methods thereof according to embodiments of this invention are described below.
