  • Publication number: 20100330468
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to halftone masks that can uniformly form the height of an underlying layer in two regions that are spaced apart from each other, a manufacturing method thereof, and a method for forming a film using the same. The halftone mask includes a first light blocking unit and a second light blocking unit, and a semi-transmitting unit that is disposed adjacent to the side of the second light blocking unit. The first and second light blocking units block light and are spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval. The semi-transmitting unit is positioned at a side far from the first light blocking unit and reduces intensity of light. Sum of the second length of the second light blocking unit and the third length of the semi-transmitting unit is larger than the first length of the first blocking unit.

  • Publication number: 20090121231
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to thin film transistors, a method of fabricating the same, and an organic light-emitting diode device using the same. A thin film transistor according to an aspect of the invention includes a semiconductor layer formed from polysilicon in which a grain size deviation is within a range of substantially ±10%. Accordingly, aspects of the invention can improve non-uniformity of image characteristics due to a non-uniform grain size in polysilicon produced by a sequential lateral solidification (SLS) crystallization process.
