Abstract
A system for displaying images includes a multi-gate thin film transistor (TFT) device including an active layer, first and second gate structures, and first and second light-shielding layers. The active layer is disposed on a substrate in a pixel region. The first and second gate structures are disposed on the active layer. The first and second light-shielding layers are disposed between the substrate and the active layer. The active layer includes first and second source/drain regions and first and second channel regions. The first light-shielding layer corresponds to a first lightly doped region and laterally extends under at least a portion of the first channel region. The second light-shielding layer corresponds to the second lightly doped region and laterally extends under at least a portion of the second channel region.
