Patent ID: 8440486

Claim:
A method of fabricating an electrophoretic display device, comprising: forming a gate line along a direction, a gate electrode extending from the gate line, a common line parallel to the gate line, and a first storage electrode extending from the common line on a substrate; forming a gate insulating layer on an entire surface of the substrate including the gate line, the gate electrode, the common line and the first storage electrode; forming a semiconductor layer, a data line, and source and drain electrodes through a mask process, wherein the semiconductor layer is disposed over the gate electrode, the data line crosses the gate line to define a pixel region, the source electrode extends from the data line, and the drain electrode is spaced apart from the source electrode over the semiconductor layer, wherein the gate electrode, the semiconductor layer, the source electrode and the drain electrode constitute a thin film transistor; forming a first passivation layer over the gate line, the data line and the thin film transistor, wherein the first passivation layer partially exposes the drain electrode; and forming a pixel electrode on the first passivation layer, wherein the pixel electrode contacts the drain electrode and overlaps the gate line and the data line, wherein the pixel electrode includes a second storage electrode overlapping the first storage electrode, and the first and second storage electrodes form a storage capacitor with the gate insulating layer interposed therebetween.
