Abstract
A method for fabricating an active matrix LCD panel for use in an active matrix LCD device includes the step of forming a passivation layer acting as a channel protection layer for protecting an amorphous silicon active layer, thereby reducing the number of photolithographic steps. A transparent conductive film is used for forming a gate electrode and a pixel electrode before formation of an amorphous silicon film for the TFTs.
