Abstract

A display device includes a first support plate and a pixel region over the first support plate. A thin film transistor (TFT) structure is disposed over the first support plate and associated with the pixel region. The TFT structure includes a first metal layer over the first support plate. The first metal layer includes a gate. A silicon layer is disposed over the gate. A second metal layer is disposed over the silicon layer. The second metal layer includes a source and a drain covering a first portion of the silicon layer. A light-absorbing material layer is disposed over at least a second portion of the silicon layer.
