Thin-film transistor substrate and liquid crystal display

摘要

A source line is directly connected to a source terminal composed of indium zinc oxide in a thin-film transistor substrate. A gate line is directly connected to a gate terminal composed of indium zinc oxide. Alternatively, drain electrodes of thin-film transistors for switching a plurality of pixel electrodes are directly connected to pixel electrodes composed of indium zinc oxide. These configurations do not require a passivation film which is essential for conventional thin-film transistor substrates, and the resulting thin-film transistor substrate can be made by a reduced number of manufacturing steps.
