When a first photomask is used to pattern a gate insulating layer to form a plurality of first conductive vias within the OLB area, by increasing a distance between two adjacent first via patterns to more than 10 ?m, the effect of gray tone mask effect is reduced as a first conductive via is formed in the gate insulating layer Thus, a slope of the first photoresist via wall is relatively gentle, so that a slope of a via wall of the first conductive via is also relatively gentle, and as a passivation layer is formed thereafter, the passivation layer can be easily formed on the wall of the first conductive via without breaking. Then, a second metal layer in the first conductive via can be completely covered by the passivation layer to avoid oxidation.
