A plurality of gate lines extending in a horizontal direction are formed on an insulating substrate, and a data line is formed perpendicular to the gate line thereby defining a pixel of a matrix array. Pixel electrodes receiving image signals through the data line are formed in a pixel, and a thin film transistor having a gate electrode connected to the gate line, a source electrode connected to the data line, and a drain electrode connected to the pixel electrode is formed on the portion where the gate lines and the data lines intersect. A storage wire including a storage electrode line is formed in the horizontal direction, and a storage electrode connected to the storage electrode line and forming a storage capacitance by overlapping the pixel electrode is formed in the pixel. A redundant repair line both ends of which overlap the storage wire of the neighboring pixel, and a storage wire connection line connecting the storage wires of a neighboring pixel are formed. In this structure, because the storage wires of a neighboring pixel are connected to each other through the storage wire connection line, the variation of the voltage for the storage capacitance may be minimized, and this results in a reduction of its distortion, such that crosstalk and flicker problems are minimized.
An array substrate for use in an X-ray sensing device is fabricated using an etching stopper that enables good control of the etching process, and an electrode that prevents damage caused by static electricity generated during a dry-etching step. During fabrication, the array substrate includes a plurality of gate lines that are all electrically connected to an electrode pattern via gate line extensions and gate line contact holes. The electrode pattern causes the gate lines to have equipotentials, which reduces static electricity induced defects.

A Thin Film Transistor (TFT) that can reduce leakage current and can prevent crosstalk between adjacent TFTs includes: a substrate; a gate electrode disposed on the substrate; a source electrode and a drain electrode separated from each other and insulated from the gate electrode; and a semiconductor layer which is insulated from the gate electrode, contacts each of the source and drain electrodes, and has grooves that separate at least a region of the semiconductor layer between the source and drain electrodes from the adjacent TFT. Each groove passes at least a portion of the semiconductor layer corresponding to the source and drain electrodes, and a projection image generated when each groove that passes at least a portion of the semiconductor layer corresponding to the source and drain electrodes is projected onto the source and drain electrodes covers the source and drain electrodes except for a portion of the source electrode that faces the drain electrode and a portion of the drain electrode that faces the source electrode.
