Patent ID: 7884993

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 parallel 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, including: a plurality of first patterns separated from each other; and a second pattern electrically connected to and crossing the plurality of first patterns within the pixel region; an electrophoretic film disposed on the first electrode; and a second electrode disposed on the electrophoretic film, wherein the first patterns are disposed laterally with each other, wherein the capacitor upper electrode overlaps with the first patterns and the second pattern, wherein the capacitor upper electrode and the common line form a capacitor, wherein the capacitor overlaps with the first patterns, and wherein the second pattern is connected with the capacitor upper electrode through a contact hole formed at the protective layer.
