Patent ID: 8842252

Claim:
A method for manufacturing an array substrate, comprising: the following steps: A: Forming a gate electrode layer and a storage electrode layer of a thin film transistor (TFT) on a glass substrate, and coating an insulating layer on the gate electrode layer and the storage electrode layer; B1: Coating an a-Si layer and an n+a-Si layer on the insulating layer in sequence; B2: Coating a photoresist on the n+a-Si layer, and removing the photoresist of an area corresponding to the storage electrode layer by exposure and development; B3: Etching the a-Si layer and the n+a-Si layer of the area corresponding to the storage electrode layer; and B4: Coating a transparent conducting material on a surface of an area of the insulating layer corresponding to the photoresist and the storage electrode layer, stripping residual photoresist and transparent conducting material of the photoresist surface, and forming the transparent electrode layer on the insulating layer corresponding to the storage electrode layer by residual transparent conductive material; and C: Manufacturing a source electrode layer, a drain electrode layer, and a conducting channel of the TFT.
