Abstract:
Provided are a thin film transistor and a manufacturing method thereof, a display panel, and a display apparatus. The thin film transistor comprises an active region ( 11 ), a gate insulating layer ( 12 ), a gate ( 13 ), a source ( 14 ) and a drain ( 15 ), a passivation layer ( 16 ), and a planarization layer ( 17 ) that are successively formed on a flexible substrate ( 10 ), wherein a protective layer ( 18 ) is formed between the passivation layer ( 16 ) and the planarization layer ( 17 ), and located directly above the active region ( 11 ) and the gate ( 13 ). The protective layer ( 18 ) is used to protect the semiconductor material of the thin film transistor in a perpendicular area of protective layer ( 18 ). Therefore, the stress on part of the materials of the thin film transistor is reduced during bending, and damage to the semiconductor material is avoided during bending of the thin film transistor device, thus improving the quality of the device.

Claim (Index 5):
The thin film transistor of  claim 4 , wherein the protective layer covers gaps between the gate and the source as well as between the gate and the drain in a direction perpendicular to the gate.
