Abstract

Abstract The production of a thin film transistor array device having a gate wiring on an insulated substrate. The gate wiring has an inner gate wiring having a first metal layer formed on the insulated substrate and a second metal layer whose etching speed is faster than that of the first metal layer, the first metal layer and the second metal layer being overlapped so as to constitute a dual structure, and an outer gate wiring covering the inner gate wiring.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 77 words
A thin film transistor array device having a gate wiring on an insulating substrate, the gate wiring comprising an inner gate wiring having a first metal layer formed on the insulating substrate and a second metal layer whose etching speed is faster than that of the first metal layer, the first metal layer and the second metal layer being overlapped so as to constitute a dual structure, and an outer gate wiring covering the inner gate wiring.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 77 words
A thin film transistor array device having a gate wiring on an insulating substrate, the gate wiring comprising an inner gate wiring having a first metal layer formed on the insulating substrate and a second metal layer whose etching speed is faster than that of the first metal layer, the first metal layer and the second metal layer being overlapped so as to constitute a dual structure, and an outer gate wiring covering the inner gate wiring.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 27 words
