NOVEL METHOD FOR FORMING METAL PATTERN AND FLAT PANEL DISPLAY USING THE METAL PATTERN

摘要

A method for manufacturing a metal line and a flat display device using the same are provided to obtain high resolution metal line patterns by implementing a metal line having low contact resistance using coating, exposition, and plating. Liquids having photocatalyst compounds, metal catalytic compounds, and photo-sensitizers are coated on a substrate and a photo metal catalytic layer is formed. By selectively exposing the photo metal catalytic layer, a potential pattern for crystal growth nucleus is obtained. The plating on the potential pattern is executed using one or more metals and then a metal crystal is grown, thereby obtaining metal patterns with one or more layers.
