Latest Patents

The available information lists one patent for Kim: “Contact Portion and Manufacturing Method Thereof, Thin Film Transistor Array Panel and Manufacturing Method Thereof.” The invention describes forming a first signal line on a substrate, covering it with an insulating layer, and creating a contact hole that exposes the first signal line. A contact layer is then formed on the exposed surface, followed by a second signal line connected to the first through the contact layer. The first signal line is made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, while the second is made of ITO or IZO. This structure addresses the connection between signal lines in a thin-film transistor array panel.
