Liquid crystal display and method for fabricating the same
First Claim
1. A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display, comprising:
- preparing an insulating substrate having a first circuit portion, a second circuit portion, and a pixel portion divided into a thin film transistor region and a storage region;
forming a polycrystalline silicon film and a storage electrode film on an entire surface of the substrate;
patterning the storage electrode film and the polycrystalline silicon film to form a pixel pattern that covers the pixel portion; and
removing the storage electrode film in the thin film transistor region to simultaneously form a first active layer in the thin film transistor region and a storage electrode in the storage region,wherein the first active layer is formed of the polycrystalline silicon film and the storage electrode is formed of the storage electrode film.

Abstract
A liquid crystal display and a method for fabricating the same are disclosed. The method for fabricating a liquid crystal display includes preparing an insulating substrate defining a pixel portion divided into a thin film transistor region and a storage region, sequentially forming a polycrystalline silicon film and a storage electrode film on an entire surface of the substrate, selectively patterning the storage electrode film and the polycrystalline silicon film to form a pixel pattern that covers the pixel portion, and selectively removing the storage electrode film in the thin film transistor region to simultaneously form a first active layer in the thin film transistor region and form a storage electrode in the storage region, wherein the active layer is formed of the polycrystalline silicon film and the storage electrode is formed of the storage electrode film.
