Abstract

A display device includes a first active pattern, a first compensation gate electrode disposed on the first active pattern, including a first electrode extension part extending in a first direction and a first electrode protrusion part protruding from the first electrode extension part in a second direction crossing the first direction, and a compensation gate line disposed on the first compensation gate electrode and including a line extension part extending in the first direction and a first line protrusion part protruding from the line extension part in the second direction. The line extension part contacts the first electrode extension part through a first contact hole, wherein the first contact hole may overlap the first electrode extension part. The first line protrusion part may contact the first electrode protrusion part through a second contact hole, wherein the second contact hole may overlap the first electrode protrusion part.

Claims (32)

1 . A display device comprising:

a first active pattern;

a first gate electrode overlapping the first active pattern, including a first electrode extension part and a first electrode protrusion part protruding from the first electrode extension part; and

a first gate line overlapping the first gate electrode and including a line extension part and a line protrusion part protruding from the line extension part,

wherein the line extension part contacts the first electrode extension part through a first contact hole, and

wherein the line protrusion part contacts the first electrode protrusion part through a second contact hole.

2 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first gate line is electrically connected to the first gate electrode through at least one of the first contact hole and the second contact hole.

3 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first contact hole overlaps the first electrode extension part adjacent to one side of the first electrode protrusion part, and

wherein the second contact hole overlaps another side of the first electrode protrusion part opposite to the one side of the first electrode protrusion part.

4 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first contact hole and the second contact hole do not overlap the first active pattern.

5 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode extension part and the line extension part overlap each other, and

wherein the first electrode protrusion part and the line protrusion part overlap each other.

6 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein a shape of the first electrode protrusion part is a same as a shape of the line protrusion part.

7 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode extension part overlaps a first channel region of the first active pattern, and

wherein the first electrode protrusion part overlaps a second channel region of the first active pattern.

8 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second gate electrode overlapping the first active pattern, and

a second gate line overlapping the second gate electrode.

9 . The display device of claim 8 , wherein the second gate electrode includes:

a second electrode extension part; and

a second electrode connection part protruding from the second electrode extension part.

10 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein the second electrode extension part overlaps a third channel region of the first active pattern.

11 . The display device of claim 9 , wherein the second gate line contacts the second electrode connection part through a third contact hole.

12 . The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second active pattern connected to the first active pattern and being disposed in a same layer as the first active pattern; and

a third active pattern connected to the second active pattern and being disposed in a same layer as the second active pattern.

13 . The display device of claim 12 , wherein the first electrode extension part extends to overlap a fifth channel region of the second active pattern.

14 . The display device of claim 12 , further comprising:

a voltage line overlapping at least one of the first active pattern, the second active pattern, and the third active pattern,

wherein the voltage line provides an initialization voltage to the first, second, and third active patterns.

15 . The display device of claim 1 , wherein the first gate electrode includes molybdenum, and

wherein the first gate line includes aluminum.
