Patent ID: 8377735

Claim:
A method for fabricating an electrophoretic display device, the method comprising: preparing a first substrate on which a plurality of pixels are defined and formed in a plurality of horizontal pixel rows and a plurality of vertical pixel rows; forming a data line at every vertical pixel row on the first substrate and forming source and drain electrodes at every pixel on the first substrate; forming an organic semiconductor layer, a gate insulating layer, and a gate electrode at each pixel on the first substrate to form a TFT; forming a passivation layer on the data line and on the TFT of the first substrate; forming a first contact hole exposing the drain electrode of the TFT and a second contact hole exposing the gate electrode of the TFT at the passivation layer; forming a pixel electrode on the passivation at every pixel, the pixel electrode being connected with the drain electrode of the TFT via the first contact hole; and forming a gate line on the passivation layer at every horizontal pixel row, the gate line in one pixel being opened to the gate line in the neighboring pixel, the opened gate lines being electrically connected to each other through the gate electrode of the TFT via the second contact hole, wherein the gate line and the pixel electrode are formed with the same material on the same layer by the same process.
