  • Patent number: 10497906
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a thin film transistor array substrate is provided in the present disclosure. A third mask of the present disclosure is configured to perform a hydrophobic treatment on a surface of a photoresist to form a hydrophobic group. Presence of the hydrophobic group makes a solution type transparent metal and an OLED material not covered on the surface of the photoresist, thereby facilitating photoresist stripping, and promoting stripping efficiency and process efficiency. Existence of the photoresist makes the OLED material form a fixed pattern. One of the masks can be saved to lower product costs.

  • Patent number: 10444582
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing an array substrate. An ashing treatment is performed on the first photoresist pattern to remove the photoresist layer in the photoresist-partially-retained-region and to thin the photoresist layer in the photoresist-entirely-retained-region, so that a second photoresist pattern is generated. Thereafter, the passivation layer is etched using the second photoresist pattern as a mask to thin the passivation layer in the photoresist-partially-retained-region and to reduce roughness of the rough top surface in the photoresist-partially-retained-region. Therefore, process stability is raised.

  • Publication number: 20190206907
    Abstract: An array substrate and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The manufacturing method comprises: depositing a passivation material layer on a TFT layer, wherein the passivation material layer includes a first film layer and a second film layer made of different materials alternatively arranged; using a photoresist layer as a mask to etch the passivation material layer until the first film layer is exposed so as to form a patterned structure; depositing an ITO film on the photoresist layer and the exposed first film layer; and stripping the photoresist layer to form the array substrate. By using different materials with different etching speed, a greater gap between the boundary of the spacer and the boundary of the photoresist structure would be formed to facilitate the photoresist stripping process. Thereby, the stripping efficiency and the stripping uniformity can be enhanced to reduce the probability of photoresist residue.
