  • Patent number: 6989299
    Abstract: A method for fabricating on-chip spacers for a TFT panel exposes a photoresist layer on top of the TFT panel using two exposure processes, one through the bottom of the TFT and the other through a mask over the TFT panel. The exposure process through the bottom exposes all photoresist covering windows on the TFT panel and leaves all photoresist corresponding to an opaque grid corresponding a TFT driving circuit. A second exposure process through a mask above the photoresist leaves part of the photoresist in the opaque grid unexposed. The exposed photoresist is removed leaving on-chip spacers only on the opaque grid. Therefore, the on-chip spacers can not affect the display quality and can be easily formed on a high dpi TFT panel.

  • Publication number: 20050260393
    Abstract: A substrate has a substrate member, which is made of Cyclic Olefins Polymer (COP) or Cyclic Olefins Copolymer (COC), and two protective layers, which are made of Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or Polycarbonate (PC), provided on opposite side of the substrate member. The COP or COC substrate member has a less water absorption (<0.01%) to prevent the substrate from warping while it is irradiated at single side. The PMMA or PC protective layer has a greater hardness to protect the substrate from damage.

  • Publication number: 20040164299
    Abstract: A reflective type thin film transistor display device and methods for fabricating the same is disclosed. The fabrication process includes a first substrate, multiple layers of thin film transistor built on the top layer over the substrate, multiple layers of metal reflector on the periphery of the thin film transistor, and a second substrate, wherein the metal reflector and the thin film transistor are transferred onto the second substrate by a back-end fabrication process to cause the thin film transistor to be exposed on the back end. The metal reflector is formed in between oxide layers and coated with aluminum material on the back side. Since the back side of the reflective display device is not subjected to any etching process or oxidation at high temperature, it is fully flat for a reflective surface after turning over by the back-end fabrication process.

  • Patent number: 6777309
    Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to transfer thin film devices such as integrated semiconductor and optical components from a first substrate onto a second substrate through a thermal process at high temperature, without degradation of device performance. Other devices can be fabricated thereafter on the other side of the second substrate. Since the semiconductor and optical components can be transferred onto the second substrate in a single-step thermal process, in comparison with prior art the number of transfer substrates needed in the fabrication process can be effectively reduced, thus simplifying the fabrication process and realizing cost reduction.
