Abstract: A method of fabricating a thin film transistor array substrate is described. A gate and a scan line electrically connected to the gate are formed on a substrate. A gate insulating layer is formed over the substrate. A patterned channel layer and a patterned ohmic contact layer are formed on the gate insulating layer above the gate. A transparent conductive layer and a metal layer are formed and patterned to define a source/drain region, a data line and a pixel region. A passivation layer exposing the metal layer on the pixel region is formed over the substrate. The metal layer exposed by the passivation layer is removed to expose the transparent conductive layer on the pixel region, using the passivation layer as a photomask, so as to form a pixel electrode. Since the process only needs four photomasks, the process cost can be reduced.

The pixel includes a pixel electrode and a first and a second transistor. A gate of the first and the second transistor is electrically connected to the first and the second scan line respectively. A source of the first and the second transistor is electrically connected to the first and the second signal line respectively. The drains of the first and the second transistor are electrically connected to the pixel electrode. The ratio of the channel width to the channel length of the first transistor is less than the ratio of the channel width to the channel length of the second transistor.

Abstract: A combined frame for housing at least a lamp with one end connected to a power cord is provided. The combined frame comprises a lower frame and an upper frame. The lamp is positioned between the upper frame and the lower frame. The lower frame has an angled cable groove that encloses the power cord from the lamp. One end of the power cord is exposed outside the lower frame. The upper frame is positioned over the lower frame. Through the angled cable groove, the power cord is prevented from sliding in the axial direction of the lamp by any unintended external force and hence pulling power cable away from the lamp. This invention also provides a back light module comprising a light-guiding plate and the aforementioned lamp and combined frame.

Abstract: An in-line operation for manufacturing liquid crystal displays. First, a liquid crystal cell is pulled out from a first stocking region and placed inside a processing station by a loader. The liquid crystal cell is shunt, beveled and corner-cut by a shunt and bevel unit inside the processing station. The liquid crystal cell is next transferred directly to a brush-washing unit for cleaning. After cleaning, the semi-finished product is directly transferred from a linked stocking region to an affixing unit for attaching a polarizer onto the liquid crystal cell. The semi-finished product is transferred to a second stocking region by an unloader. Sample inspection can be carried out when the semi-finished product is still within the linked stocking region.
