Abstract
A TFT array having an improved aperture ratio with significantly increasing capacitive coupling between the pixel electrode and the drain bus line is disclosed. The TFT array includes a plurality of data bus line segments interconnected by the source electrode metallization. Further, a plurality of insulating layers are provided on the substrate to increase the separation between the pixel electrodes and the data bus lines.

10. A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display comprising the steps of
depositing a first conductive layer on a substrate; -
patterning said first conductive layer to form first and second spaced data bus line segments; depositing an insulating layer on said substrate; selectively removing portions of said insulating layer to form openings over portions of said first and second data bus line segments; depositing a second conductive layer on said insulating layer and in said openings; patterning said second conductive layer to provide an interconnect electrically coupling said first and second bus line segments; and electrically coupling said interconnect to a doped region of a transistor formed on said substrate. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
