METHOD OF REFORMING A METAL PATTERN, ARRAY SUBSTRATE, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE ARRAY SUBSTRATE

摘要

A method of reforming a metal pattern for improving the productivity and reliability of a manufacturing process, an array substrate and a method of manufacturing the array substrate are disclosed. In the method, a first wiring pattern is formed on an insulation substrate. The first wiring pattern is removed. A second wiring pattern is formed on an embossed pattern by using the embossed pattern as an alignment mask. The embossed pattern is defined by a recess formed on a surface of the insulation substrate. Accordingly, the insulation substrate having the recess formed thereon may not be discarded, and may be reused in forming the first wiring pattern. In addition, the embossed pattern defined by the recess is used as an alignment mask, so that the alignment reliability of a metal pattern may be improved.
