Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a substrate; a first metal layer disposed on the substrate, the first metal layer includes a gate line connected to a gate electrode, and a first capacitor electrode; an insulating layer covering the first metal layer; a silicon layer disposed on the insulating layer, a portion of the silicon layer includes an active layer disposed over the gate electrode; a second metal layer disposed on the silicon layer, the second metal layer includes a data line, a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a second capacitor electrode; a passivation layer covering the second metal layer, a side edge portion of the drain electrode and the silicon layer being exposed from the passivation layer; and a pixel electrode disposed on the passivation layer, the pixel electrode contacting the side edge portion of the drain electrode and the silicon layer, wherein the pixel electrode includes a first end portion overlapping the silicon layer and laterally spaced apart from the gate electrode to not overlap the gate electrode.
