Patent 7855112 was granted and assigned to AU Optronics on December, 2010 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A fabrication method of a pixel structure includes providing a substrate. A semiconductor layer and a first conductive layer are formed on the substrate in sequence and patterned to form a semiconductor pattern and a data line pattern. A gate insulation layer and a second conductive layer are formed on the substrate in sequence and patterned to form a gate pattern and a scan line pattern connected to each other. A source region, a drain region, a channel region, and a lightly doped region are formed in the semiconductor pattern. A third conductive layer formed on the substrate is patterned to form a source pattern and a drain pattern. A protective layer is formed on the substrate and patterned to form a contact window to expose the drain pattern. A pixel electrode electrically connected to the drain pattern through the contact window is formed on the protective layer.
