Thin film transistor matrix device and method for fabricating the same

摘要

A TFT matrix-type liquid crystal display device is used in laptop personal computers and wall TVs. On a transparent insulating substrate 10 there are formed gate bus lines 14 for commonly connecting the gates of thin film transistors, drain bus lines 16 for commonly connecting the drains of the thin film transistors, and outside terminals 20 and outside terminals 30 opposed respectively to the ends of the gate bus lines and the drain bus lines 16, opposed respectively to the ends of the gate bus lines and the drain bus lines. Gate connection lines 24 for commonly connecting the gate bus lines 14 and drain connection lines 34 for commonly connecting the drain bus lines are formed in regions inner of the outside terminals 20, 30. The thin film transistor matrix device can be fabricated without occurrence of short circuit defects, with little characteristic change and with high yields.
