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 8):
A method for manufacturing the thin film transistor described in  claim 1 , comprising: successively forming an active region, a gate insulating layer, a gate, a source and a drain, and a passivation layer on a flexible substrate; forming a protective layer on the passivation layer; and forming a planarization layer on the protective layer, wherein the protective layer is located right above the active region and the gate.
