  • Patent number: 12261575
    Abstract: The present application provides a signal amplifying circuit and a display device. In the signal amplifying circuit, a gate of a driving transistor of a first inverter is connected to an output terminal of a reset module, and thereby a potential of the gate of the driving transistor of the first inverter changes when an impedance of an optoelectronic device changes, so that a potential change of each node of the first inverter amplifies the signal. Besides, a first compensation transistor is connected between a second gate of the first driving transistor and a first output node, and the potential of the first output node precharges to the second gate of the first driving transistor to adjust a threshold voltage of the first driving transistor, thereby erasing the difference of the threshold voltages in different transistors, and solving the technical problem of bad uniformity of signals amplified by the inverter.

  • Patent number: 11791351
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an array substrate and a manufacturing method of the array substrate. In the manufacturing method of the array substrate, during performing a first wet etching and a second wet etching on a second metal layer, the wet etching is stopped when a copper conductive layer is merely etched completely. Because a wet etching speed of a liner layer is slow, an etching time of the wet etching and a CD loss of the copper conductive layer can be greatly reduced, and the CD loss is relatively small. Meanwhile, an entire CD loss of the second metal layer can be reduced, and an aperture ratio can be improved.

  • Patent number: 11233138
    Abstract: A thin film transistor (TFT) and a method of manufacturing same are provided. A photoresist layer is dry-etched to form a tunnel before an active layer is formed, wherein a bottom of the tunnel is a copper trace layer. After that, two edges of the photoresist layer are aligned with two edges of the copper trace layer. Therefore, the photoresist layer won't protrude over an amorphous silicon layer to block the etching gas from etching the amorphous silicon layer. As a result, an aperture ratio of the TFT is increased, and quality of the TFT is improved. By forming an oxidation protective layer on the tunnel, the copper trace layer is prevented from being reacted with the etching gas to form a compound. Therefore, metals or compounds on the tunnel can be completely etched, and quality of the TFT is further improved.

  • Publication number: 20210225884
    Abstract: An array substrate, a manufacturing method thereof, and a display panel are provided in the present application. A gate electrode and source and drain electrodes of different thickness are formed on an electroplated substrate by metal electroplating. By using a height difference between the gate electrode and the source and drain electrodes, a dielectric layer covering the gate electrode and exposing the source and drain electrodes is formed on a substrate, so that an active layer is electrically connected to the source and drain electrodes. Moreover, separation is realized by means of the dielectric layer and the gate electrode, so an etching stop layer is not needed, which simplifies an IGZO manufacturing process and reduces production costs.
