Patent ID: 6912037

Claim:
An active plate comprising: a substrate; a first metallization layer defining gate electrodes and further defining first storage capacitor electrodes extending longitudinally across the substrate, thereby forming corresponding lateral edges of the first storage capacitor electrodes; a second metallization layer defining source and drain electrodes and second storage capacitor electrodes; a semiconductor body layer forming thin film transistor bodies between the source and drain electrodes; and an insulation layer between first and second storage capacitor electrodes, thereby forming a plurality of pixel elements, each pixel element having a corresponding source, drain, and gate electrode, and a corresponding first and second storage capacitor electrode; wherein the drain electrode extends completely across at least one dimension of the gate electrode, and the second storage capacitor electrode overlaps the lateral edges of the first storage capacitor electrode, and the second storage capacitor electrode includes a plurality of elements having a width within a factor of 2 of a width of the drain electrode.
