Abstract

A method of manufacturing a display device includes: forming a gate electrode on a substrate; forming a gate insulating film on the substrate; forming an oxide semiconductor on the substrate; forming a source electrode and a drain electrode on the substrate; forming a passivation film on the substrate; forming a common electrode on the substrate; forming an interlayer insulating film on the substrate; forming a pixel electrode on the substrate; forming an alignment film on the substrate; radiating UV-rays onto the oxide semiconductor; and heat-treating the oxide semiconductor irradiated with the UV-rays. The radiating UV-rays is performed after the forming an oxide semiconductor, and the heat-treating is performed after the forming a passivation film.

Claims (19)

1. A method of manufacturing a display device, comprising:

forming a gate electrode on a substrate;

forming a gate insulating film on the substrate having the gate electrode formed thereon;

forming an oxide semiconductor on the substrate having the gate insulating film formed thereon;
