The first contact area Acp1 may connect the pixel area Ai(j?1) of the first pixel PXi(j?1) and the pixel area Aij of the second pixel PXij to each other, and the second contact area Acp2 may connect the pixel area Aij of the second pixel PXij and the pixel area Ai(j+1) of the third pixel PXi(j+1) to each other. As described above with reference to
In a comparative example, a semiconductor pattern may not continuously extend in the row direction, and may include a plurality of island patterns that are apart from one another. Island patterns included in each of the plurality of pixels may not be connected to one another. During a process of proceeding with a subsequent process after the semiconductor pattern is formed, static electricity may be generated (or introduced) from the outside. When the semiconductor pattern includes island patterns apart from one another, the static electricity that is generated (or introduced) may be isolated in each of the island patterns. Thus, the semiconductor pattern affected by the static electricity may be damaged, and the damaged semiconductor pattern may cause a pixel defect.
