The patent US12072595B2 describes a display device that integrates multiple layers and components to enhance its functionality. The device features a substrate with two types of thin film transistors: one utilizing a polysilicon semiconductor layer and the other an oxide semiconductor layer. Key components include light shading films positioned between the semiconductor layers and the substrate, as well as a series of insulating films that facilitate electrical connections. The design incorporates through holes that allow for the passage of conductive components, ensuring that the first conductive component connects with the first light shading film while maintaining specific spatial relationships with the insulating layers. The claims also detail the application of fixed voltages to the light shading films and the configuration of pixel electrodes and common electrodes within the display.

Additionally, the patent outlines the structural relationships between various components, such as the first and second thin film transistors, their respective gate electrodes, and the insulating films. It specifies the formation of conductive films and the strategic placement of through holes that enable electrical connections between different layers. The claims further elaborate on the integration of aluminum oxide films and the specific arrangements of source and drain electrodes in relation to the insulating films. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive framework for a display device that optimizes the arrangement of its components to improve performance and functionality.
