Method for manufacturing lens forming master and method for manufacturing thin film transistor substrate using the same
View Patent ↗A method for manufacturing a lens forming master includes coating an organic insulation material on a substrate to form an organic insulation layer, removing a portion of the organic insulation layer with a laser which is irradiated through a first mask to form a lens shape on a surface of the organic insulation layer, and removing portions of the organic insulation layer with a laser irradiated through a second mask to form a contact hole and a bank area in the organic insulation layer.
1. A method for manufacturing a thin film transistor substrate, comprising:
removing a portion of an organic insulation layer with a laser irradiated through a mask to form a lens forming master having a lens shape on a surface of an organic insulation layer;
coating and hardening an elastic material on the surface of the organic insulation layer and detaching the hardened elastic material from the lens forming master to form an imprinting mold having the lens shape on the surface of the organic insulation layer;
coating an organic insulation material on a thin film transistor substrate to form a protective layer; and
compressing the surface of the protective layer of the thin film transistor substrate using the imprinting mold to form a shape corresponding to the lens shape of the imprinting mold.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein removing a portion of an organic insulation layer comprises forming the lens shape on the surface of the organic insulation layer corresponding to a reflective area of a transflective liquid crystal display apparatus.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein removing a portion of an organic insulation layer comprises forming a bank area on the organic insulation corresponding to a transmissive area of a transflective apparatus.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein removing a portion of an organic insulation layer comprises forming a contact hole in the organic insulation layer corresponding to a hole connecting a drain electrode of a thin film transistor and a pixel electrode of a transflective liquid crystal display apparatus.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein removing a portion of an organic insulation layer comprises a half-tone mask method, in which the laser irradiated through a half- tone mask is irradiated onto the portion of the organic insulation layer through a focus lens.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the half-tone mask comprises a plurality of half-tone pixels, each half-tone pixel being divided into a laser transmissive area and a laser non-transmissive area.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein removing a portion of an organic insulation layer comprises a synchronized imaging system method, in which the laser is irradiated onto the portion of the organic insulation layer through the synchronized imaging mask including a plurality of different-sized transmissive holes.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein removing a portion of an organic insulation layer comprises irradiating the laser onto the portion of the organic insulation layer through the transmissive holes by moving the synchronized imaging mask to change sizes of the transmissive holes.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
hardening the protective layer having the shape corresponding to the lens shape of the imprinting mold.
