Description of the invention (1) (―) Field of invention: The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD; Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display) , Used to greatly reduce the process steps required to make thin film transistor liquid crystal displays, and improve product yield to reduce production costs. (II) Background of the Invention: The current development of flat panel display technology includes Field Emission Display (FED), Plasma Display (PDP), and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The technology of LCD is relatively mature. The importance of LCD products and market sales can be seen in the growth rate of multiples each year. Among them, TFT LCD (Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display) color and quality Enough to compete with Cathode Ray Tube (CRT). The traditional thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD) manufacturing process is a immersive method, which gradually deposits and stacks the layers of the liquid crystal display on a glass substrate. Here, it is obtained by the back-channel etching process. Inverted-Stagger Structure is taken as an example, and the steps are described as follows: (1) depositing a first-metal layer 2 on a substrate 1 (refer to FIG. 1⑻); (2) applying the first light The first-mask designates the gate area 3 and removes the first metal layer outside the gate area (refer to Figure 1 (b)); 2 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications ( 210X 297mm) (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Order printed by the Central Consumers Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and printed by the Consumer Cooperative 494266 A7 B7 V.

The TFT LCD element structure manufacturing process is completed (see 1--T ----- IU ---.--.— Order ^ ------ (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) This paper is again applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X297 male ) Ministry of Economic Affairs Bureau of Standards staff consumer cooperative printing 494,266 V. Description of the Invention (j) and FIG 1⑴ 1⑻, ·, wherein the storage capacitor 15 are expressed as a cross-sectional view of a vertical cross-sectional view and a TFT LCD structure). Traditionally, the thin film transistor liquid crystal display produced by the inverted stacking technology has the following disadvantages, which are explained as follows: (a) The source, drain, data line metal layer, and ITO pixels of the TFT LCD element are all on the same plane. Therefore, When the exposure accuracy in the process of making a TFT LCD is insufficient or particles are attached, the source electrode and the ITO pixel can easily cause a short circuit, and indirectly form a point defect on the screen. According to statistics, among the reasons for the failure of traditional TFT LCD fabrication, coplanar short defect is one of the main factors that constitutes a low yield. (b) The lateral electric field generated during the operation of the thin film transistor gate will cause some liquid crystal molecules to reverse tilt. Therefore, each LCD pixel needs a certain area of shading moment. In general, a metal layer is used to shield the light leakage generated by some liquid crystal molecules with reverse tilt, but if the area of the light-shielding matrix is too large, it will lead to a decrease in the open ratio of the liquid crystal display. Therefore, the brightness of the LCD screen is affected. (e) Storage capacitors are formed by overlapping ITO pixels and gate metal lines. However, it is difficult to maintain a fixed storage capacitor. The reason is that during the fabrication of TFT LCD elements, due to mask alignment errors or etching errors, The size of the upper and lower electrode plates is not 4 The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) ------- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)-Order 494266 A7 B7 V. The description of the invention (fighting) is the same, which indirectly affects the threshold voltage of each pixel, thereby reducing the picture quality of the liquid crystal display. (d) In addition, when depositing a silicon nitride compound (SiNx) insulating layer, if its deposition structure is not good, short-circuits at the overlap between the ITO pixel and the gate metal lines are prone to occur, that is, interlayer shorts at different levels in the vertical direction. (3) Brief description of the invention: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD). The method can use an insulating layer to isolate the ITO in the TFT LCD element structure from the second metal layer. On different planes, in order to reduce the chance of coplanar short circuit of TFT LCD and increase product yield. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Φ Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a thin film transistor liquid crystal display. A structure over a metal layer, so that the second metal layer can shield part of the electric field generated when the first metal layer moves, so as to reduce the reverse tilt effect of the liquid crystal molecules, thereby reducing the gate lateral electric field (gate lateral field), therefore, each TFT LCD pixel only needs a smaller area of the black matrix, which can increase the open ratio of the TFT LCD. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a thin-film transistor liquid crystal display. Only five photomasks are needed to obtain a high-transmittance TFT LCD. This simplifies the process steps and reduces the cost required to fabricate a TFT LCD. . 5 This paper size applies to China National Standards (CNS) 8-4 specifications (210 X297 mm).

Description of the invention (5) Another object of the present invention is to provide A thin film transistor liquid crystal display manufacturing method uses a second metal layer to cover the first metal layer to form a storage capacitor (Cs; storage capacitor), and the second metal layer extends beyond the range of the first metal layer. When making a TFT LCD, the area of the upper and lower electrode plates caused by the misalignment of the mask or the etching error can be reduced. Therefore, the obtained storage capacitor is more stable to ensure that each pixel in the LCD has the same on-off ( ON-OFF) Threshold Voltage to improve picture quality. Another object of the present invention is to provide a structure of a thin film transistor display, which uses a storage floating design of a charge storage mechanism, and can simultaneously reduce the short-circuit between different layers in the vertical direction (interlayer short) and Reduce coplanar shorts in the LCD structure to greatly improve product yield.
