Abstract:
1. A system for displaying images, comprising: a display panel, comprising: a lower substrate with a first surface, wherein the first surface is divided into a pixel area and a driver area; a peripheral circuit within the driver area on the first surface; at least one thin film transistor is formed in the pixel area, wherein the thin film transistor comprises an active layer, a gate dielectric layer overlying the active layer, and a gate electrode overlying the gate dielectric layer, wherein the active layer has source and drain regions; a first transparent electrode layer overlapping a terminal portion of the drain region and in direct contact with top and side surfaces of the terminal portion of the drain region, electrically connected thereto; a second transparent electrode pattern disposed on the gate dielectric layer, opposing the first transparent electrode layer; and common electrodes electrically connected to the second transparent electrode pattern directly without the use of contact holes.
