Abstract
The present invention teaches a TFT array substrate, including a substrate; a first metallic layer disposed on the substrate; a gate insulation layer disposed on the first metallic layer and the substrate, where the gate insulation layer includes a level section above the first metallic layer and a pair of step sections respectively connected to lateral sides of the level section; a second metallic layer disposed on the level section, where an area of the second metallic layer's vertical projection onto the top side of the substrate is smaller than an area of the level section's top side; and a protection layer disposed on the second metallic layer and the gate insulation layer. As the second metallic layer is withdrawn for a distance from the level section's circumference, the protection layer is not required to rise continuously, and the protection layer is less prone to broken film and oxidization.
