Patent ID: 6911669

Claim:
A thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate, comprising: a plurality of scan lines disposed on a substrate; a plurality of first bonding pads disposed on an edge of a surface of the substrate, wherein the first bonding pads are electrically connecteded to the scan lines; a plurality of second bonding pads disposed on another edge of the surface of the substrate; a gate dielectric layer disposed on the substrate, wherein a portion of the first bonding pads, and the second bonding pads are exposed by the gate dielectric layer; a plurality of data lines disposed on the gate dielectric layer, wherein the data lines are extended to the edge of the substrate and are electrically connected to the second bonding pads; a first mask layer disposed over the gate dielectric layer partially covering the first bonding pads, wherein a remaining portion of the first bonding pads remain exposed; a second mask layer disposed over the gate dielectric layer partially covering the second bonding pads, wherein a remaining portion of the second bonding pads remain exposed; a plurality of thin film transistors disposed on the substrate, wherein each of the thin film transistors comprises a gate, a source/drain, a channel layer and an ohm contact layer, each of the gates is electrically connected to each of the scan lines, each of the sources is electrically connected to each of the data lines, each of the channel layers is disposed on the gate dielectric layer over each of the gates, and each of the ohm contact layers is disposed on each of the channel layers; a patterned cover layer covering over the thin film transistors and the gate dielectric layers; a patterned photoresist layer disposed over the cover layer partially covering the two edges of the substrate such that the remaining portion of the two edges of the substrate are exposed; and a plurality of pixel electrodes disposed on the photoresist layer corresponding to the disposed thin film transistors, wherein each of the pixel electrodes is electrically connected to each of the drains.
