Abstract:
An array substrate device includes a gate line formed on a substrate extending along a first direction having a gate electrode, a data line formed on the substrate extending along a second direction having a data pad disposed apart from a first end of the data line, the data and gate lines defining a pixel region, a gate pad formed on the substrate disposed apart from a first end of the gate line, a thin film transistor formed at a crossing region of the gate and data lines and including the gate electrode, a semiconductor layer, a source electrode, and a drain electrode, a black matrix overlapping the thin film transistor, the gate line, and the data line except for a first portion of the drain electrode, a first pixel electrode at the pixel region contacting the first portion of the drain electrode and the substrate, a color filter on the first pixel electrode at the pixel region, and a second pixel electrode on the color filter contacting the first pixel electrode.
Abstract:
A method of forming an array substrate for use in a liquid crystal display device includes forming a gate line, a gate pad, and a gate electrode, forming a first gate insulating layer to cover the gate line, the gate pad, and the gate electrode, forming an active layer and an ohmic contact layer on the first gate insulating layer, forming a data line, a data pad, a source electrode, and a drain electrode, forming a second insulating layer to cover the thin film transistor, forming a black matrix on the second insulating layer to cover the thin film transistor, the gate line, and the data line except a first portion of the drain electrode, forming a third insulating layer to cover the black matrix, patterning the first, second, and third insulating layers, forming a first transparent electrode layer to cover the patterned third insulating layer, coating an adhesive color film on the first transparent electrode layer, irradiating a laser to portions of the adhesive color film corresponding to the pixel region, removing the adhesive color film to form a color film, repeating coating the adhesive color film, irradiating the laser and removing the adhesive color film to form the color film within all of the pixel regions, forming a second transparent electrode to cover the color filter and the first transparent electrode layer, and patterning the first and second transparent electrode layers to form first and second pixel electrodes, a double-layered gate pad terminal, and a double-layered data pad terminal.
