Abstract

A display device includes a substrate; at least one data line disposed on the substrate; a first pattern disposed on the substrate and spaced apart from the data line; a first insulating layer at least partially disposed on the data line and the first pattern; an active layer disposed on the first insulating layer and at least partially overlapping with the first pattern; a first gate insulating layer disposed on the active layer; and a first electrode disposed on the first gate insulating layer and overlapping with the active layer, wherein the first electrode does not overlap with the data line in a direction parallel to an upper surface of the first insulating layer.

Claims (26)

1. A display device comprising:

a substrate;

a data line disposed on the substrate;

a first pattern disposed on the substrate and spaced apart from the data line;

a light-blocking layer disposed between the substrate and the first pattern;

an inorganic insulating layer disposed between the light-blocking layer and the first pattern;

a first insulating layer at least partially disposed on the data line and the first pattern;

an active layer disposed on the first insulating layer and at least partially overlapping with the first pattern;

a first gate insulating layer disposed on the active layer; and

a first electrode disposed on the first gate insulating layer and overlapping with the active layer,

wherein the first electrode does not overlap with the data line in a direction parallel to an upper surface of the first insulating layer,

wherein the first electrode is in contact with the active layer via a first contact hole passing through the first gate insulating layer so that at least a part of the active layer is exposed via the first contact hole,

wherein the first electrode, the active layer, the first pattern, and the first contact hole are overlapping with each other in a direction perpendicular to an upper surface of the substrate,

wherein the first pattern is insulated from the active layer, the first electrode, and the data line, and

wherein the light-blocking layer is overlapped by the first pattern and the active layer in the direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode does not overlap with the data line in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the first insulating layer.

3. The display device of claim 2 , wherein a width of the first pattern is larger than a width of the active layer, and a height of the first pattern is equal to a height of the data line.

4. The display device of claim 2 , wherein the light-blocking layer is overlapped by the data line in the direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the active layer overlaps with the data line.

6. The display device of claim 5 , further comprising a second contact hole passing through the first insulating layer so that a part of the data line is exposed, and wherein the active layer is connected to the data line through the second contact hole.

7. The display device of claim 5 , wherein at least a part of the data line overlaps with the active layer on the first gate insulating layer, and

wherein the data line is in contact with a part of the active layer via a second contact hole passing through the first gate insulating layer.

8. The display device of claim 5 , further comprising:

a second insulating layer disposed between the first gate insulating layer and the first electrode; and

a gate line disposed between the first gate insulating layer and the second insulating layer.

9. The display device of claim 6 , wherein a height of the first contact hole ranges from 0.5 to 0.7 μm, and a width of the second contact hole ranges from 1.5 to 1.8 μm.
