Patent ID: 7227597

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising: an insulating substrate; a source electrode and a storage electrode metal pattern formed on the insulating substrate; a silicon layer formed on the source electrode and the storage electrode metal pattern and contacting the insulating substrate, wherein the silicon layer comprises a doped source region, a doped drain region and an undoped channel region located between the source and drain regions, wherein a portion of the source region overlies the source electrode and a portion of the drain region overlies the storage electrode metal pattern; a gate insulating film covering the silicon layer and the storage electrode metal pattern; a storage electrode formed on the gate insulating film and overlying the storage electrode metal pattern; a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating film and overlying the channel region; and a pixel electrode directly connected to the portion of the drain region overlying the storage electrode metal pattern through a contact hole of the gate insulating film.
