Patent ID: 8089680

Claim:
An electrophoretic display device comprising: a substrate; a gate line on the substrate; a data line being intersected with the gate line, wherein the gate line and the data line form a pixel region; a thin film transistor being disposed in the pixel region; a common line being disposed latterly with the gate line; a protective layer covering the gate line, the data line, the thin film transistor and the common line; a capacitor upper electrode being connected to a drain electrode of the thin film transistor; a first electrode disposed on the protective layer and including at least one aperture that exposes the substrate; an electrophoretic film disposed on the first electrode; and a second electrode disposed on the electrophoretic film, wherein the capacitor upper electrode overlaps with the first electrode, wherein the capacitor upper electrode and the common line form a capacitor, wherein the capacitor overlaps with the first electrode, and wherein the first electrode is connected with the capacitor upper electrode through a contact hole formed at the protective layer.
