Abstract:
A liquid crystal device comprising:a plurality of source lines over a substrate;a plurality of gate lines over said substrate in an orthogonal relation to said plurality of the source lines; anda plurality of pixels over said substrate arranged in a matrix array at intersections of said source lines and gate lines, each of said pixels comprising:at least first and second thin film transistors wherein source or drain of said first thin film transistor is connected to one of said source lines;a pixel electrode connected to source or drain of said second thin film transistor wherein said first and second thin film transistors are electrically connected in series between said pixel electrode and said one of the source lines;wherein a portion of said one of the source lines covers said first thin film transistor so that said first transistor is light shielded while said second thin film transistor is not covered by any portion of said one of the source lines.
