Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device comprising:a substrate; first and second gate lines on the substrate, wherein each gate line has at least one gate electrode; a gate insulating layer above the gate lines; at least one data line crossing over the gate lines; a first semiconductor layer above a gate electrode of the first gate line; a source electrode connected to the data line and overlapping a first side of the first semiconductor layer; a drain electrode overlapping a second side of the first semiconductor layer; a second semiconductor layer above but vertically offset from the second gate line; an upper electrode covering the second semiconductor layer and at least partially overlapping the second gate line; a passivation layer above the drain electrode and the upper electrode; contact holes in the passivation layer directly above the drain electrode and the second semiconductor layer; and a pixel electrode on the passivation layer that is connected to the drain electrode and the upper electrode through the contact holes.
