Liquid crystal display and method of fabricating the same to have TFT's with pixel electrodes integrally extending from one of the source/drain electrodes

A method of fabricating an LCD, the method comprising:

• providing a light-passing insulation substrate;
• forming, in a same layer above the substrate and by use of a common light-passing and conductive material, both a pixel electrode and a spaced apart buffer layer where the common light-passing and conductive material has an upper portion thereof disposed above a lower portion thereof and at least the upper portion is of a crystalline structure that resists being etched more so than an amorphous version of the same light-passing and conductive material;
• forming a source electrode on the buffer layer and forming a spaced apart drain electrode on a portion of the pixel electrode;
• and
• forming an active layer extending between and also extending on the source electrode and on the drain electrode;
• and
• forming a gate electrode insulatively disposed above the source electrode and above the drain electrode.
