Abstract
A thin film transistor (TFT) structure is provided. The TFT comprises a gate, a first electrode, a second electrode, a dielectric layer, and a channel layer. By overlapping the area between the first electrode and the gate, the TFT structure acquires a parasitic capacitor that is unaffected by manufacture deviations. Therefore, the TFT needs no compensation capacitor, thereby, increasing the aperture ratio of the TFT.
