  • Thin film transistor array and method of manufacturing thereof
    Patent number: 5790222
    Abstract: A TFT array having an improved aperture ratio with significantly increasing capacitive coupling between the pixel electrode and the drain bus line is disclosed. The TFT array includes a plurality of data bus line segments interconnected by the source electrode metallization. Further, a plurality of insulating layers are provided on the substrate to increase the separation between the pixel electrodes and the data bus lines.
