Abstract
A display substrate and its fabricating method have been disclosed. In a horizontal-field-mode liquid crystal display device, while maintaining five mask processes, additional direct contact has been formed to implement a narrow bezel.
Claims12
A display substrate, comprising:
- a common electrode disposed on a substrate;
- an insulating layer disposed on the common electrode;
- a gate electrode disposed on the insulating layer;
- a common electrode contact part and a direct contact part disposed on the insulating layer and spaced apart from the gate electrode;
- a gate insulating layer disposed on the substrate;
- a semiconductor layer disposed on the gate insulating layer;
- a pixel part spaced apart from the semiconductor layer;
- source and drain electrodes disposed on the gate insulating layer and the semiconductor layer, the source and drain electrodes comprising a first lower barrier and a first metal layer disposed on the first lower barrier;
- a first conductive layer coupled with a side of the common electrode contact part and an upper surface of the common electrode, the first conductive layer comprising a second lower barrier and a second metal layer disposed on the second lower barrier;
- a second conductive layer coupled with and disposed on the direct contact part, the second conducive layer comprising a third lower barrier and a third metal layer disposed on the third lower barrier;
- and
- a passivation layer formed on the source and drain electrodes, the first conductive layer, and the second conductive layer,
- wherein the second lower barrier and the third lower barrier comprise a same material as the first lower barrier of the source and drain electrodes,
- wherein the second metal layer and the third metal layer comprise a same material as the first metal layer of the source and drain electrodes,
- wherein the pixel part comprises the same material as the first lower barrier of the drain electrode and extends from the drain electrode;
- and
- wherein the second lower barrier makes contact with the common electrode contact part and the third lower barrier makes contact with the direct contact part.
