1249854 五、發明說明(1) 發明所屬之技術領域: 本發明係關於一種薄膜電晶體陣列,尤其是一種具有備 用信號線之薄膜電晶體陣列。 先前技術: 平面顯示器係利用薄膜電晶體(t h i n f i 1 m t r a n s i s t 〇 r, TFT )陣列,控制每一個晝素的顯示。而薄膜電晶體之運作, 又必須藉由信號線(s i g n a 1 1 i n e )與閘極線(g a t e 1 i n e )控 1 制。因此,若是信號線或是閘極線出現斷路(open),將影響 薄膜電晶體之正常運作,而造成晝素不正常顯示。 請參照第一圖,係一習知薄膜電晶體1陣列之俯視圖。 其中,信號線2之寬度遠小於閘極線3之寬度。因此,製程環 境之微粒污染與製程中熱處理,容易導致信號線2產生斷 路。為了解決上述信號線2斷路所衍生之問題,一般係設置 一備用信號線,提供信號傳遞一備用線路。藉此,即使信號 線2產生斷路,薄膜電晶體1依然可以經由備用信號線接收控 制信號。因而可以維持顯示器正常運作,提升產品良率以及 可靠度。 請參照第二圖,係一習知薄膜電晶體1、主要信號線3 0 與備用信號線4 0之示意圖,該薄膜電晶體包括一閘極1 2、一 第一隔離層1 4 二隔離層2 2與 一源極1 6、 晝素電極層24 汲極1 8 閘極通道2 0 第1249854 V. INSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (1) Field of the Invention: The present invention relates to a thin film transistor array, and more particularly to a thin film transistor array having a standby signal line. Prior Art: A flat panel display utilizes a thin film transistor (t h i n f i 1 m t r a n s i s t 〇 r, TFT ) array to control the display of each pixel. The operation of the thin film transistor must be controlled by the signal line (s i g n a 1 1 i n e ) and the gate line (g a t e 1 i n e ). Therefore, if the signal line or the gate line is open, it will affect the normal operation of the thin film transistor, and the halogen will not display properly. Referring to the first figure, a top view of an array of thin film transistors 1 is known. The width of the signal line 2 is much smaller than the width of the gate line 3. Therefore, the particle contamination in the process environment and the heat treatment in the process tend to cause the signal line 2 to be broken. In order to solve the problem caused by the above-mentioned disconnection of the signal line 2, a standby signal line is generally provided to provide a signal to transmit a standby line. Thereby, even if the signal line 2 is broken, the thin film transistor 1 can receive the control signal via the standby signal line. This keeps the display up and running, improving product yield and reliability. Please refer to the second figure, which is a schematic diagram of a conventional thin film transistor 1, a main signal line 30 and a standby signal line 40. The thin film transistor includes a gate 12. A first isolation layer 1 4 2 2 with a source 1 6 , a halogen electrode layer 24 a drain 1 8 a gate channel 2 0

Although the problem of the main signal line 30 being disconnected can be solved by the standby signal line 4 设置 disposed above the second isolation layer 22, the following disadvantages remain to be overcome: ”
一、一般而言,晝素電極層24係位於—發光層(未圖示) 之下表面,且該發光層之上表面係製作有—上電極層(未圖 示),並藉由上下電極層之電位差,驅動發光層以為0顯示: 因此,備用信號線40亦係位於該發光層之下表面。由於 信號線40與上電極層之間僅夾有一發光層以為分隔,因而, 容易因製程之瑕疯’導致備用信號線4〇與上電極層接觸產生1. In general, the halogen electrode layer 24 is located on the lower surface of the light-emitting layer (not shown), and the upper surface of the light-emitting layer is formed with an upper electrode layer (not shown) and is supported by upper and lower electrodes. The potential difference of the layers drives the light-emitting layer to display 0: therefore, the standby signal line 40 is also located on the lower surface of the light-emitting layer. Since only a light-emitting layer is sandwiched between the signal line 40 and the upper electrode layer, it is easy to cause the standby signal line 4〇 to contact the upper electrode layer due to the process of manufacturing.
