Abstract:
1. An amorphous silicon thin film transistor-liquid crystal display device comprising: an insulating substrate including a display region on which a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines are formed, and a gate driving circuit region; a plurality of shift registers formed on the gate driving circuit region of the substrate, said shift registers including a number of thin film transistors (TFTs) each having a gate electrode and source and drain electrodes, the shift registers for selecting a plurality of the gate lines successively; main wirings disposed on the gate driving circuit region of the substrate for applying signals to each of the shift registers, the main wirings of the shift registers formed from a single layer; a passivation layer formed on the substrate, the passivation layer having a first contact hole exposing a drain electrode in the display region, a second contact hole exposing a gate electrode of a first TFT of each of the shift registers in the gate driving circuit region and a third contact hole exposing source and drain electrodes of the first TFT in the gate driving circuit region; electrode patterns formed on the passivation layer, the electrode patterns including a first electrode connected to the drain electrode in the display region through the first contact hole and a second electrode connecting the gate electrode and the data electrode through the second and third contact holes of the gate driving circuit region; and branch wirings disposed on the driving circuit region of the substrate and crossing the main wirings to connect the main wirings to the TFT of each of the shift registers, wherein the branch wirings are connected to the main wirings through third electrodes, and portions of the branch wirings overlapping the main wirings have line widths smaller than line widths of the main wirings.
