Abstract

A base thin film transistor (TFT) substrate includes a substrate, array areas on the substrate; at least one dummy area on the substrate and between the array areas; an insulating film on the substrate; at least one aperture through the insulating film and arranged within the at least one dummy area; and at least one post arranged within the at least one aperture.

Claims (15)

1. A base thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate, comprising:

a substrate;

a plurality of array areas on the substrate;

at least one dummy area on the substrate and between the plurality of array areas;

an insulating film on the substrate;

at least one aperture through the insulating film and arranged within the at least one dummy area; and

at least one post arranged within the at least one aperture, wherein the at least one aperture includes a plurality of holes.

2. The base TFT array substrate of claim 1 , wherein the at least one post comprises insulating material.

3. The base TFT array substrate of claim 2 , wherein the at least one post includes:

a gate insulating film; and

a passivation film.

4. The base TFT array substrate of claim 1 , further comprising a dummy sealant pattern on the at least one post.

5. The base TFT array substrate of claim 1 , further comprising a transparent conductive material formed within the plurality of holes and the aperture.

6. The base TFT array substrate of claim 1 , wherein a width of each hole is less than a width of the dummy sealant pattern formable over the at least one aperture.

7. The base TFT array substrate of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of TFTs within each array area.
