  • Patent number: 7129556
    Abstract: An array substrate for use in an X-ray sensing device is fabricated using an etching stopper that enables good control of the etching process and that prevents over-etch of drain electrodes and second capacitor electrodes while forming contact holes and a cutting furrow. The etching stopper is located in a tiling portion that is utilized for tiling substrates to form a large-sized X-ray detector. During fabrication, gate lines can have gate-protruded portions located near the etching stopper, and the etching stopper can have stopper-protruded portions near the gate lines. The stopper-protruded portions electrically connect to the gate-protruded portions through gate line contact holes such that the etching stopper and the gate lines have equipotentials. This can reduce static electricity damage.

  • Patent number: 6900871
    Abstract: The thin film transistor substrate increases an aperture ratio as well as prevents shorts between pixel electrodes by connecting drain electrodes of thin film transistors to storage electrodes to reduce the number of holes contacting the pixel electrodes. In the method of forming the thin film transistor substrate, drain electrode patterns are formed such that drain electrodes included in thin film transistors are electrically connected to storage electrodes included in storage capacitors. Accordingly, the number of holes contacting the pixel electrodes can be reduced so that an aperture ratio can be increased, or shorts between pixel electrodes can be prevented. Also, the drain electrode patterns are formed from the same conductive layer as the data lines supplying data signals to the thin film transistors, and a constant spacing between the two can be obtained to maintain a uniform parasitic capacitance therebetween and prevent deterioration of the data signal.

  • Patent number: 6680720
    Abstract: A liquid crystal panel driving apparatus is adapted to display a uniform level of luminance on an entire display area of a liquid crystal panel. The liquid crystal panel drive apparatus applies an alternative current signal to a storage line on the liquid crystal panel so that the signal voltage charged at each picture element on the first gate line is substantially equal to the signal voltage charged at each picture element on the second to last gate lines. As a result, the luminance level on a first line of the liquid crystal panel is substantially equal to that on the remaining lines and the luminance level is uniformly displayed on the liquid crystal panel, and further enhances the quality of a picture displayed on the liquid crystal panel.

The drain electrode has a drain protrusion which is positioned over the gate electrode and the slanted corner of the gate electrode and located inside the U-shaped source electrode. The drain protrusion is spaced apart from the U-shaped source electrode to form a channel region therebetween. An imaginary axis of the U-shaped source electrode and drain protrusion forms an angle with the gate line.
