Patent number: 7763480Abstract: A method for manufacturing a thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate needs only or even less than six mask processes for manufacturing the TFT array substrate integrated with a color filter pattern. Therefore, the manufacturing method is simpler and the manufacturing cost is reduced. In addition, the manufacturing method needs not to form a contact window in a relative thick film layer such as a planarization layer or a color filter layer, so as to connect the pixel electrode to the source/drain. Thus, the difficulty of the manufacturing process is effectively reduced.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2009Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: Au Optronics CorporationInventors: Wei-Sheng Yu, Chien-Hung Chen
