  • Patent number: 10424607
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a TFT substrate uses a top gate structure and the entire process can be completely done with seven masks. The number of masks used is reduced. The manufacturing process of a TFT substrate is simplified. Product yield can be increased to effectively improve productivity. Heavy and light ion doping can be simultaneously achieved with one single doping operation so that manufacturing cost can be reduced. By subjecting two ends of a semiconductor pattern to heavy ion doping to form a source electrode and a drain electrode, the manufacturing steps can be reduced and the source electrode and the drain electrode so formed do not need to extend through a via hole formed in an interlayer dielectric layer to contact the two ends of the active layer thereby effectively reducing contact resistance and improving product yield. Also provided is a TFT substrate manufactured with the method.

Further, a voltage of inverted bias is impressed to the light emitting element every predetermined period. Since a multiplier effect is given by the two configurations described above, it is possible to prevent the luminance from deteriorating due to a deterioration of the organic luminescent layer, and further, it is possible to maintain the current that flows to the light emitting element to a desired value without depending on the characteristics of the TFT.
