DISPLAY DEVICE: abstract simplified (18104478)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18104478 Titled 'DISPLAY DEVICE'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a display device that includes various components such as voltage lines, transistors, connection electrodes, and capacitors. These components are arranged in different metal layers on a substrate. The first voltage line is located in the first metal layer and extends in a specific direction. The first transistor is connected to the first voltage line and consists of a source electrode in the active layer and a gate electrode in the second metal layer. The first connection electrode is formed together with the gate electrode and is also in the second metal layer. A cover pattern is present in the second metal layer, separated from the first connection electrode in the same direction. The first capacitor is made up of a first capacitor electrode in the active layer, connected to the gate electrode, and a second capacitor electrode in the first metal layer, connected to the source electrode. In a plan view, the first side of the cover pattern and the first side of the first connection electrode overlap with the first capacitor electrode.

Original Abstract Submitted

A display device includes a first voltage line disposed in a first metal layer on a substrate and extending in a first direction, a first transistor including a source electrode disposed in an active layer on the first metal layer and a gate electrode disposed in a second metal layer on the active layer, the first transistor being electrically connected to the first voltage line, a first connection electrode disposed in the second metal layer and integrally formed with the gate electrode of the first transistor, a cover pattern disposed in the second metal layer and spaced apart from the first connection electrode in the first direction, and a first capacitor including a first capacitor electrode disposed in the active layer and electrically connected to the gate electrode of the first transistor, and a second capacitor electrode disposed in the first metal layer and electrically connected to the source electrode of the first transistor. A first side of the cover pattern and a first side of the first connection electrode facing each other overlap the first capacitor electrode in a plan view.
