  • Patent number: 10128270
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing an active matrix substrate. A first laminated film in which a semiconductor film, a first transparent conductive film, and a first metal film are laminated is formed on a substrate. A photoresist pattern having a first part covering a formation area of a channel part of a thin film transistor, a second part covering a formation area of a pixel electrode, and a third part covering formation areas of a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a source line, is formed on the first laminated film. The first metal film, the first transparent conductive film, and the semiconductor film are patterned using the photoresist pattern; the first part is removed and the first metal film and the first transparent conductive film are patterned; and the second part is removed and the first metal film is patterned.

  • Publication number: 20170069665
    Abstract: To reduce the number of photolithography processes in manufacturing an active matrix substrate. Provided is a TFT substrate which has a pixel electrode connected to a drain electrode of a TFT, a source line connected to a source electrode of the TFT, and a gate line connected to a gate electrode of the TFT. A source electrode, a drain electrode, and a source line include a conductive film of the same layer as the pixel electrode. Under the source line and the pixel electrode, there remains a semiconductor layer of the same layer as a semiconductor film which constitutes a channel part of the TFT substrate.
