  • Patent number: 8927995
    Abstract: A thin film transistor includes a semiconductor pattern disposed on a substrate and a semiconductor pattern portion with a conductive or nonconductive characteristic, and a anti-diffusion portion on a side of the semiconductor pattern portion to prevent metal ions from being diffused along the semiconductor pattern portion. A first insulating layer covers the semiconductor pattern and has a first contact hole exposing a first region of the semiconductor pattern portion and a second contact hole exposing a second region of the semiconductor pattern portion. A gate electrode is disposed on the first insulating layer. A second insulating layer covers the gate electrode and has a third contact hole exposing the first region and a fourth contact hole exposing the second region. A source electrode is formed on the second insulating layer and connected to the first region, and a drain electrode is formed on the second insulating layer and connected to the second region.

  • Patent number: 7859491
    Abstract: The pixel circuit of an organic light emitting display includes a first transistor to a seventh transistor, a first capacitor, a second transistor and an organic light emitting diode. The first capacitor stores the data signal from the first, second and third transistors, and the second capacitor stores the threshold voltage of the fourth transistor from the fifth transistor. Voltages stored in the first and second capacitors are combined by the sixth transistor, and the fourth transistor generates a driving current corresponding to a combined voltage of the voltages stored in the first and second capacitor. The seventh transistor transmits the driving current and the organic light emitting diode emits light corresponding to the driving current.
