Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A thin film transistor (TFT) and an organic light emitting display device having the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a TFT includes a gate electrode formed on a substrate. A gate insulating layer is formed on the substrate having the gate electrode. An active layer is formed on the gate insulating layer. A source electrode is formed over the active layer. A drain electrode is formed to substantially surround at least three surfaces of the source electrode on the active layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A thin film transistor (TFT) comprising: a substrate; a gate electrode formed on the substrate; a gate insulating layer formed on the substrate and the gate electrode; an active layer formed on the gate insulating layer; a protection layer formed on the active layer; a source electrode formed over the active layer, wherein the entire source electrode has a substantially linear shape; and a drain electrode formed to substantially surround at least…
