The present disclosure relates to a driving substrate, a manufacturing method, and a micro-LED array substrate light-emitting backlight module. The driving substrate includes a first metal layer, a first high-reflection layer, and a second metal layer stacked in a top-down sequence. The driving substrate, the manufacturing method, and the micro-LED array light emitting backlight module of the present disclosure solve the loss of reflectivity issue caused by the edge forbidden area of the electrode welding pad edge forbidden region. At the same time, the limited reflectivity of traditional coated high-reflective layers (such as white oil) may also be enhanced.

A subtractive method for manufacturing a circuit board with fine interconnect includes steps of disposing a resist film on a metal layer on a surface of a wiring substrate, and performing a dry etching process to etch and penetrate the resist film and form a wiring pattern groove in the metal layer, the depth of the wiring pattern groove is less than the thickness of the first metal layer; further wet etching process is performed, and the metal layer is etched again from the wiring pattern groove to penetrate the metal layer to form wires in the metal layer, and finally the resist film is removed. By first using dry etching to form wiring pattern grooves in the metal layer, the thickness of the metal layer to be removed by wet etching is reduced, thereby reducing side etching generated by the wet etching process and improving the wiring quality.

Methods of making metal patterns on flexible substrates are provided. Releasable solid layer is selectively formed on a patterned surface of the flexible substrate by applying a liquid solution thereon. Metal patterns on the flexible substrate can be formed by removing the releasable solid layer after metallization. In some cases, the releasable solid layer can be transferred from the patterned surface to a transfer layer where the metal patterns are formed.
