Active matrix LCD having a non-conductive light shield layer
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a substrate having a primary surface;
a plurality of gate bus lines and a plurality of data bus lines disposed in a matrix arrangement on said primary surface of said substrate;
a plurality of thin film transistors formed on said primary surface of said substrate, each having a gate electrode, a source electrode, and a drain electrode, said plurality of thin film transistors being respectively provided at intersections of said gate bus lines and said data bus lines;
a opaque non-conductive layer formed on said plurality of gate bus lines and said plurality of data bus lines, said non-conductive opaque layer shielding said plurality of gate bus lines and said plurality of data bus lines from light;
a protective layer formed on said opaque non-conductive layer and having a plurality of contact holes provided in correspondence with said drain electrode of each of said plurality of thin film transistors; and
a plurality of pixel electrodes formed on said primary surface of said substrate and coupled to corresponding ones of said drain electrodes via said plurality of contact holes.

Abstract
A liquid crystal display having a top plate and a bottom plate. The bottom plate includes a plurality of gate bus lines and a plurality of drain bus line arranged in a matrix on a substrate surface. A plurality of thin film transistors, each including a source, gate and drain, are formed at intersections of the gate and drain bus lines. A black matrix pattern, including a non-conductive black resin, is provided on the gate bus lines, the drain bus lines and the thin film transistors for shielding these elements from light generated by back lighting the display. A protective layer is formed on the black matrix pattern having contact holes for coupling the pixel electrodes to corresponding drain electrodes of the thin film transistors.
