Abstract

The present invention relates to a structure and a fabrication method of a storage capacitor used in the pixel region of a display panel such as LCD or OELD. The present invention simultaneously forms a poly-crystalline silicon TFT and a storage capacitor in the pixel region of a display panel using MILC phenomena. By applying MILC inducing metal along at least two edges of storage capacitor, the time required to crystallize the silicon layer in storage capacitor region may be significantly reduced.
