Patent ID: 7338846

Claim:
A method for fabricating a pixel structure, comprising: forming a gate, a scan line, and a first terminal on a substrate, wherein the scan line is electrically connected with the gate, and the first terminal is electrically connected with the scan line at an edge of the substrate; forming a gate insulating layer on the substrate covering the gate, the scan line, and the first terminal; defining a semiconductor layer on the gate insulating layer above the gate; patterning the gate insulating layer to expose the first terminal; forming a transparent conductive layer over the substrate; forming a patterned photoresist layer on the transparent conductive layer; patterning the transparent conductive layer using the patterned photoresist layer as a mask, to define a source, a drain, a data line electrically connected with the source, a pixel electrode electrically connected with the drain, a second terminal electrically connected with the data line, and a contact pad electrically connected with the first terminal.
