Patent ID: 7692245

Claim:
A flat panel display device, comprising: a substrate; a first thin film transistor comprising: a first gate electrode formed on the substrate; a first electrode insulated from the first gate electrode; a second electrode insulated from the first gate electrode and partially surrounding the first electrode in which the first and second electrodes are both in a same geometric plane; and a first semiconductor layer insulated from the first gate electrode and contacting the first electrode and the second electrode; a second thin film transistor comprising: a second gate electrode formed on the substrate and electrically connected to one of the first electrode and the second electrode; a third electrode insulated from the second gate electrode; a fourth electrode insulated from the second gate electrode and surrounding the third electrode in the same plane; and a second semiconductor layer insulated from the second gate electrode and contacting the third electrode and the fourth electrode; a storage capacitor connected to said first thin film transistor and said second thin film transistor; and a display element including a pixel electrode electrically connected to one of the third electrode and the fourth electrode, wherein said storage capacitor is positioned between said first thin film transistor and second thin film transistor in a same geometric plane.
