Patent ID: 7816159

Claim:
A method for fabricating a pixel structure, comprising: providing a substrate; forming a first conductive layer on the substrate; providing a first shadow mask over the first conductive layer, wherein the first shadow mask exposes a portion of the first conductive layer; applying a laser through the first shadow mask to irradiate the first conductive layer to remove the portion of the first conductive layer exposed by the first shadow mask to form a gate; forming a gate dielectric layer on the substrate to cover the gate; simultaneously forming a channel layer, a source and a drain on the gate dielectric layer over the gate, wherein the source and the drain are disposed on a portion of the channel layer, and the gate, the channel layer, the source and the drain together form a thin film transistor; forming a photoresist layer only on a portion of the drain; forming a passivation layer to cover the gate dielectric layer, the thin film transistor and the photoresist layer; removing the photoresist layer so as to remove the passivation layer on the photoresist layer to form a patterned passivation layer, wherein the patterned passivation layer exposes a portion of the drain; and forming a pixel electrode electrically connecting to the drain.
