A manufacturing method of an array substrate structure is disclosed, in which after a common electrode is formed, a reduction resistant layer is first formed on the common electrode before deposition of a second insulation layer in order to prevent the film quality of the common electrode from being affected by a reductive atmosphere generated in a process of directly depositing the second insulation layer on the common electrode thereby reducing the influence on the transmittal of the common electrode caused by the deposition of the second insulation layer on the common electrode and providing the common electrode with increased transmittal and enhancing displaying performance.

It is an object of the present invention to prevent an influence of voltage drop due to wiring resistance, trouble in writing of a signal into a pixel, and trouble in gray scales, and provide a display device with higher definition, represented by an EL display device and a liquid crystal display device. In the present invention, a wiring including Cu is provided as an electrode or a wiring used for the display device represented by the EL display device and the liquid crystal display device. Besides, sputtering is performed with a mask to form the wiring including Cu. With such structure, it is possible to reduce the voltage drop and a deadened signal.

A method of making a display device includes, providing a substrate having a display area and a pad area in a periphery of the display area, the display area including a plurality of pixel regions; forming a thin film transistor having a channel layer on the substrate; arranging a gate link line and a first common voltage line to cross each other, and having a first insulation film be interposed therebetween; arranging a second common voltage line and a data link line to cross each other, and having second insulation film be interposed therebetween; disposing a first pattern on the first insulation film; and disposing a second pattern on the second insulation film, wherein the channel layer, the first pattern and the second pattern are formed of the same material.

In the case where a material containing an alkaline-earth metal in a cathode, is used, there is a fear of the diffusion of an impurity ion (such as alkaline-earth metal ion) from the EL element to the TFT being generated and causing the variation of characteristics of the TFT. Therefore, as the insulating film provided between TFT and EL element, a film containing a material for not only blocking the diffusion of an impurity ion such as an alkaline-earth metal ion but also aggressively absorbing an impurity ion such as an alkaline-earth metal ion is used.

Disclosed is a display device that may, for example, include a gate line that is provided in a first direction on a backplane and delivers a gate signal; a data line that is provided in a second direction on the backplane and delivers a data signal; a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) in each pixel defined by a crossing between the gate line and the data line; a first electrode spaced apart from one of a source electrode and a drain electrode of the TFT; a second electrode that is provided on a layer different from that on which the first electrode is provided; a TFT passivation layer that is provided on the TFT and has a first contact hole; a first connection pattern that connects one of the source electrode and the drain electrode to the first electrode through the first contact hole; and a second connection pattern that delivers a touch driving signal to the second electrode and is formed of a material substantially identical to that of the first connection pattern.

An object is to improve field effect mobility of a thin film transistor using an oxide semiconductor. Another object is to suppress increase in off current even in a thin film transistor with improved field effect mobility. In a thin film transistor using an oxide semiconductor layer, by forming a semiconductor layer having higher electrical conductivity and a smaller thickness than the oxide semiconductor layer between the oxide semiconductor layer and a gate insulating layer, field effect mobility of the thin film transistor can be improved, and increase in off current can be suppressed.

The present disclosure discloses a mask plate, a method of manufacturing a corresponding array substrate, and an array substrate, used in the technical field of liquid crystal displays. The mask plate comprises a non-transparent area and a transparent area. The non-transparent area has an intermediate vertical trunk, an intermediate horizontal trunk, and branches extending from the intermediate vertical trunk and the intermediate horizontal trunk. The intermediate vertical trunk and the intermediate horizontal trunk form certain angles with the branches, respectively. The transparent area has a first transparent portion provided between the branches. The first transparent portion is provided with an optical interference unit, which is used for processing light with a first intensity into light with a second intensity, the first intensity being higher than the second intensity. A second transparent portion is used for directly introducing light with the first intensity to form a contact hole on an array substrate to be formed through the mask plate. The present disclosure further comprises a method of manufacturing an array substrate using the mask plate, and an array substrate thus manufactured. According to the present disclosure, both the aperture ratio of a pixel unit and transmittance of the liquid crystal panel can be improved.

A display panel includes a first substrate, a first thin film transistor disposed on the first substrate, a color filter disposed on the first thin film transistor, a passivation layer disposed on the color filter, a first opening being formed through the passivation layer and extending into the color filter, and a first pixel electrode disposed on the passivation layer, electrically connected to the first thin film transistor, and overlapping the first opening.

The method comprises: forming a source/drain electrode lead wire and a passivation layer successively on a base substrate, the passivation layer at least covering the source/drain electrode lead wire; and thinning a portion of the passivation layer located on the source/drain electrode lead wire such that a surface of the portion is higher than those of other portions of the passivation layer, at the time of patterning the passivation layer to form a via hole therein.

The apparatus includes a substrate comprising a display area and a peripheral area surrounding the display area; a pad unit located on the peripheral area; an organic insulating layer covering the display area and a part of the peripheral area adjacent to the display area; and an inorganic insulating layer that covers at least a first area when the first area is a part between the organic insulating layer and the pad unit.
