Abstract
A display panel includes a substrate and active switches disposed on the substrate. A light-obstructing layer is disposed between the active switches and the substrate. Each of the active switches includes a semiconductor layer. The light-obstructing layer entirely covers the semiconductor layer.
Claims18
A display panel, comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- active switches disposed on the substrate;
- wherein a light-obstructing layer is disposed between the active switches and the substrate, each of the active switches comprises a semiconductor layer, and the light-obstructing layer entirely covers the semiconductor layer;
- the light-obstructing layer comprises a first metal layer and semi-transparent layers disposed below the semiconductor layer;
- the first metal layer is disposed on the semi-transparent layers, and the semi-transparent layers entirely cover the semiconductor layer;
- the semi-transparent layers are intervally disposed on the substrate, the first metal layer crosses an interval region between adjacent two of the semi-transparent layers, two ends of the first metal layer are respectively disposed on adjacent two of the semi-transparent layers, and the semi-transparent layers and the first metal layer entirely cover the semiconductor layer;
- the first metal layer and the semi-transparent layers are manufactured by using the same mask;
- each of the active switches further comprises a second metal layer, the second metal layer comprises a source metal layer and a drain metal layer, the source metal layer and the drain metal layer are disposed on two ends of the semiconductor layer, a trench is disposed between the source metal layer and the drain metal layer, and a bottom portion of the trench is the semiconductor layer.
A display panel, comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- active switches disposed on the substrate;
- wherein a light-obstructing layer is disposed between the active switches and the substrate, each of the active switches comprises a semiconductor layer, and the light-obstructing layer entirely covers the semiconductor layer.
A method of manufacturing a display panel, the display panel comprising a substrate and active switches disposed on the substrate, each of the active switches comprising a semiconductor layer, the method comprising steps of:
- disposing a semi-transparent layer material on the substrate;
- disposing a metal layer material on the semi-transparent layer material of the substrate;
- and
- obtaining a light-obstructing layer entirely covering the semiconductor layer by using the same halftone mask process.
