  • Patent number: 10379403
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a pixel unit includes the following steps. A channel layer is formed. A first pattern layer is formed above the channel layer and includes a scan line and a gate electrode. A second pattern layer is formed above the first pattern layer and includes a data line and a source electrode, where the source electrode is electrically connected to the channel layer. A third pattern layer is formed above the second pattern layer and includes a drain electrode and an auxiliary electrode, where the drain electrode is electrically connected to the channel layer. The auxiliary electrode is electrically connected to the scan line through a first contact hole.

  • Patent number: 9991289
    Abstract: An active device of a pixel structure includes a semiconductor layer, an insulation layer covering the semiconductor layer, a gate electrode disposed on the insulation layer and electrically connected to a scan line, a protection layer covering the gate electrode, a source electrode and a drain electrode electrically connected to a source region and a drain region of the semiconductor layer. A channel region is disposed between the source region and the drain region. A source lightly doped region is disposed between the channel region and the source region. A drain lightly doped region is disposed between the channel region and the drain region. The light shielding pattern shields the source lightly doped region and the drain lightly doped region. The light shielding pattern is overlapped with one side of the scan line and not overlapped with another side of the scan line.
