PIXEL PERFROMANCE IMPROVEMENT BY USE OF A FIELD-SHIELD
摘要
A pixel cell (100) and method for making the same for an active matrix display includes a pixel pad (110) and a thin film field effect transistor (106) which selectably couples a signal to activate/deactivate the pixel pad. A field shield (112) is formed on an insulating layer (102) and connected to the pixel pad through the insulating layer such that the field shield extends over at least a portion of the pixel pad. The field shield may extend over the thin film transistor and form a second gate (215) used to enhance the performance of the thin film transistor and the pixel cell.
