  • Patent number: 11587955
    Abstract: A TFT backplane and a micro-LED display are provided A metal light shielding layer is placed at the lower surface of the substrate and the position of the metal light shield layer is corresponding to the active layer. This reduces the size of the side frame, which is used when assembling multiple displays in a large-size micro LED display application. This could meet the demand of large-size micro-LED display. In addition, this could further reduce the steps of depositing and patterning a conventional shield metal layer in a convention process of manufacturing the TFT. Therefore, the manufacturing steps of the TFT backplane are simplified and thus the manufacturing cost is reduced.
