Patent ID: 7986382

Claim:
A method of manufacturing an LCD device having organic electrostatic discharge protection devices, the method comprising: forming a light blocking pattern on a substrate; wherein the light blocking pattern is formed in a display region of the substrate and a non-display region of the substrate; forming source and drain electrodes for a pixel organic thin film transistor (TFT) and a plurality of electrostatic discharge (ESD) organic TFTs overlying the light blocking layer; forming a pixel electrode connected to the drain electrode of the organic pixel TFT; sequentially forming an organic semiconductor layer, an organic insulating layer, and an auxiliary electrode layer overlying the source and drain electrodes; forming a passivation layer overlying the gate stack and forming contact hole exposing a portion of the auxiliary electrode; forming a gate electrode contacting the auxiliary electrode through the contact hole to form the pixel organic TFT and the ESD organic TFTs.
