  • Patent number: 7879725
    Abstract: In a stripping composition for easily removing a photoresist without an adverse effect and a method of manufacturing a TFT substrate for an LCD device using the same, the stripping composition includes acetic acid and ozone gas contained in the acetic acid as a bubble form to remove the photoresist including novolak. A photoresist pattern including novolak is formed on a predetermined layer (24) formed on a substrate (10). The layer is etched using the photoresist pattern as a mask to form a pattern of the layer. The photoresist pattern is removed using the stripping composition. The stripping composition is cheap and more effectively protects the environment in comparison with the conventional stripping compositions. Additionally, an O2 ashing process performed before or after a stripping process may be omitted to thereby simplify a stripping process.

    Abstract: In a method of fabricating a thin film transistor array substrate for a liquid crystal display, a gate line assembly is formed on a substrate with a chrome-based under-layer and an aluminum alloy-based over-layer while proceeding in the horizontal direction. The gate line assembly has gate lines, and gate electrodes, and gate pads. A gate insulating layer is deposited onto the insulating substrate such that the gate insulating layer covers the gate line assembly. A semiconductor layer and an ohmic contact layer are sequentially formed on the gate insulating layer. A data line assembly is formed on the ohmic contact layer with a chrome-based under-layer and an aluminum alloy-based over-layer. The data line assembly has data lines crossing over the gate lines, source electrodes, drain electrodes, and data pads. A protective layer is deposited onto the substrate, and patterned to thereby form contact holes exposing the drain electrodes, the gate pads, and the data pads.

  • Publication number: 20100053727
    Abstract: A flat panel display device displays an image using a micro-shutter electrode and a diffusive reflection layer. The display device has a wide viewing angle and reduces a loss of light to thus improve light efficiency. In addition, gray levels can be determined by an electrostatic force between the pixel electrode and the micro-shutter electrode. An opening/closing operation of the micro-shutter electrode is fast so that the response speed can be improved.
