Assignee: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. An electronic display comprising an array of thin-film transistors on a nonconductive substrate, wherein individual thin-film transistors comprise:
a semiconductor layer on and in direct contact with the nonconductive substrate;
a source electrode adjacent a first side of the semiconductor layer and partially overlapping a first peripheral portion of the semiconductor layer, wherein the source electrode is in direct contact with the nonconductive substrate;
a drain electrode adjacent a second side of the semiconductor layer and partially overlapping a second peripheral portion of the semiconductor layer, wherein the drain electrode is in direct contact with the nonconductive substrate;
an etch stop layer on the semiconductor layer, wherein the source electrode and drain electrode do not overlap the etch stop layer;
a gate insulator layer on the etch stop layer; and
a gate electrode on the gate insulation layer.
