A thin film transistor, a flat panel display device, and a method of fabricating thereof are disclosed. The flat panel display device includes a substrate, a display array formed over the substrate, and a transistor formed over the substrate. The transistor has a semiconductor layer. The flat panel display device also includes a light-shielding layer interposed between the substrate and the semiconductor layer. The light-shielding layer is configured to shield at least a portion of the semiconductor layer so as to substantially prevent ambient light from reaching the semiconductor layer via the substrate. The light-shielding layer prevents light-induced off-current and may serve as a mask in patterning a photoresist for doping impurities into the semiconductor layer. |
