Patent ID: 8174633

Claim:
A display device comprising a first substrate and a plurality of pixels provided on the first substrate, each of the pixels comprising: a semiconductor layer bending in a U-shape and comprising a first channel region, a second channel region, a drain region and a source region; a gate insulation film disposed on the semiconductor layer; a gate line disposed on the gate insulation film and intersecting the semiconductor layer over the first channel region and the second channel region; a drain line connected with the drain region and covering the first channel region; a source electrode connected with the source region and covering the second channel region; a light shield layer disposed under the gate line and under a portion of the semiconductor layer including the first and second channel regions, to cover the first and second channel regions so as to block light incident on the first substrate; a capacitor line disposed on the semiconductor layer so as to form a capacitor; and a pixel electrode connected with the source electrode, wherein the gate insulation film includes a first contact hole formed over the drain region and a second contact hole formed over the source region, wherein the first and second contact holes are formed between the gate line and the capacitor line, wherein the pixel electrode is formed to cover at least a portion of the drain line and at least a portion of the source electrode, and wherein the light shield layer is not formed in regions under the first and second contact holes.
