Abstract: A display device includes a substrate, a first insulating layer, a power lines, and connection lines. The substrate includes a peripheral area adjacent to at least one side of a pixels area. The first insulating layer including one or more contact holes. The power line is in the peripheral area and provides a driving voltage to pixels. The power line includes a first metal layer on the substrate and a second metal layer connected to the first metal layer through the contact hole. The connection lines extend to the peripheral area from the pixels and overlap part of the power line. The power line includes a first area in which the first and second metal layers are electrically connected through the contact hole. The connection line does not overlap the first area of the power line.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device (LCD) is constructed with a light blocking layer positioned on a data line region of a lower substrate defined by pixel regions and data line regions. A data line is positioned on the data line region of the lower substrate to overlap the light blocking layer with a gate insulating layer interposed therebetween. An organic insulating layer is positioned on the data line region of the lower substrate in order to cover the data line. Pixel electrodes are respectively positioned on the pixel regions to be spaced apart from the data line. Capacitors are respectively positioned on the pixel regions, and each of the capacitors has a lower electrode formed of a first transparent conductive material and an upper electrode formed of a second transparent conductive material, and the upper electrode is physically insulated from the data line with the organic insulating layer interposed therebetween.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a thin film transistor (TFT) and a method of manufacturing a flat panel display (FPD) using the same. A metal layer made out of Mo having no etch selectivity with a semiconductor layer so that a source electrode, a drain electrode, and an activation layer may be produced using a single mask in a single etch step. The metal layer and the semiconductor layer are simultaneously etched to form the source electrode, the drain electrode, and the activation layer, of a same width so that the area occupied by the TFT may be minimized. When the TFT is applied to the FPD, the maximal aperture ratio of pixels may be obtained and the FPD may be manufactured using only four masks.
