Patent number: 10754212Abstract: A display may have pixels configured to display images. The pixels may be formed from thin-film transistor circuitry on a substrate. Color filter elements formed from colored polymer such as colored photoimageable polymer may be formed on the substrate. A black matrix formed from black photoimageable polymer may have an array of openings. The colored polymer may have first portions that overlap the black matrix and second portions in the openings that form the color filter elements. In some portions of the pixels, the thin-film transistor circuitry may be interposed between the first portions of the colored polymer and the black matrix. In other portions of the pixels, data lines may be formed that are overlapped by the black matrix and that are interposed between the first portions of the colored polymer and the black matrix.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Byung Duk Yang, Hao-Lin Chiu, Kwang Soon Park, Kyung Wook Kim, Sai-Chang Liu, Shih Chang Chang

Patent number: 7785941Abstract: A method for fabricating a thin film transistor (TFT) is provided. A substrate having a gate, a dielectric layer, a channel layer and an ohmic contact layer formed thereon is provided. Next, a metal layer is formed over the substrate covering the ohmic contact layer. Next, the metal layer and the ohmic contact layer are simultaneously etched by a wet etching process to form a source/drain and expose the channel layer. Because the wet etching process can be used to selectively etch the ohmic contact layer, damage to the underlying channel layer may be negligible. Thus, the reliability of the device may be promoted. Furthermore, the process may be simplified, the production yield and the throughput of TFT may be increased.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2007Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignees: Taiwan TFT LCD Association, Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Ltd., Au Optronics Corporation, Hannstar Display Corporation, Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corporation, Industrial Technology Research Institute, TPO Display Corp.Inventors: Sai-Chang Liu, Cheng-Tzu Yang, Chien-Wei Wu
