  • Publication number: 20240090278
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a display device including an oxide semiconductor pattern. The disclosure provides a driving thin film transistor and a switching thin film transistor using an oxide semiconductor pattern as an active layer. Each of the driving thin film transistor and the switching thin film transistor includes a light shielding pattern. The light shielding pattern includes a semiconductor material layer doped with P-type impurity ions. By virtue of the light shielding pattern including the semiconductor material layer, each of the driving thin film transistor and the switching thin film transistor exhibits an increase in threshold voltage and, as such, freedom of circuit design is secured.

  • Publication number: 20240074235
    Abstract: A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus may include a light-emitting device and a pixel driving circuit electrically connected to the light-emitting device. The pixel driving circuit may supply a driving current corresponding to a data signal to the light-emitting device according to a gate signal. For example, the pixel driving circuit may include at least one thin film transistor. The thin film transistor may include an active pattern comprising an oxide semiconductor. A source region of the active pattern overlaps a source semiconductor pattern, and a drain region of the active pattern overlaps a drain semiconductor pattern. The source semiconductor pattern and the drain semiconductor pattern may include n-type impurities. A channel region of the active pattern may be outside the source semiconductor pattern and the drain semiconductor pattern. Thus, in the display apparatus, reliability of the pixel driving circuit may be improved.
