  • Patent number: 6940566
    Abstract: A passivation layer is formed by coating a flowable insulating material on the substrate where a thin film transistor and a storage capacitor electrode, and a pixel electrode is formed on the passivation layer. A portion of the passivation layer is etched using the pixel electrode as a mask to make a groove on the thin film transistor, and then a black matrix is formed by filling an organic black photoresist in the groove. To increase the storage capacitance, a portion of the passivation layer is removed or to form a metal pattern on the storage capacitor electrode. A flowable insulating material is used as a gate insulating layer to planarize the substrate. In this case of the etch stopper type thin film transistor, a photo definable material is used as the etch stopper layer to reduce the parasitic capacitance between the gate electrode and the drain electrode.

  • Publication number: 20050057717
    Abstract: A substrate assembly includes a first substrate, a second substrate and a sealing member. The first substrate has a first hardness of a first area. The second substrate has a second hardness lower than the first hardness of the first substrate. The second substrate has a second area smaller than the first area. The second substrate is disposed on the first substrate. The sealing member seals an edge portion of a boundary defined by the first and second substrates so that chemical solutions or chemical gases may not permeate into the boundary, thereby preventing failures of pixels while the pixels are formed on the second substrate.
