  • Publication number: 20120217537
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a nitride-based light emitting device, in which a patterned lattice buffer layer is formed to minimize dislocation density upon growth of a nitride layer and an air gap is formed to enhance brightness of the light emitting device. The method includes depositing a material having a Wurtzite lattice structure on a substrate to form a deposition layer, forming an etching pattern on a surface of the deposition layer to form a patterned lattice buffer layer, and growing a nitride layer on the patterned lattice buffer layer. During the growth of the nitride layer, the patterned lattice buffer layer is removed to form an air gap at a portion of the nitride layer from which the patterned lattice buffer layer is removed. A nitride-based light emitting device manufactured thereby is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20120211753
    Abstract: In a display substrate and a method of manufacturing the display substrate, the display substrate includes a data line, a channel pattern, an insulating pattern and a pixel electrode. The data line extends in a direction on a base substrate. The channel pattern is disposed in a separate region between an input electrode connected to the data line and an output electrode spaced apart from the input electrode. The channel pattern makes contact with the input electrode and the output electrode on the input and output electrodes. The insulating pattern is spaced apart from the channel pattern on the base substrate and includes a contact hole exposing the output electrode. The pixel electrode is formed on the insulating pattern to make contact with the output electrode through the contact hole. Thus, a damage of the oxide semiconductor layer may be minimized and a manufacturing process may be simplified.
