A flat panel display and method for fabricating the same are disclosed. The flat panel display includes a substrate. Signal lines are arranged on the substrate in a matrix shape, and a unit pixel region defined by crossing arrangement of the signal lines, has a pixel driving circuit region and an emission region. A pixel driving TFT positioned in the pixel driving circuit region, includes a semiconductor layer and a gate electrode corresponding to a predetermined portion of the semiconductor layer. The gate electrode is formed on a same layer as the signal lines. A pixel electrode, electrically connected to the pixel driving TFT, is positioned in the emission region.
