Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image display system, and more particularly to a structure and a method of manufacturing a wire and a joint of a thin film transistor substrate in a display region and a pad region. [Prior Art] Liquid crystal flat panel displays have been widely used in display elements of various products in recent years. In order to improve the display quality of the liquid crystal flat panel display, the aperture ratio of the liquid crystal display panel is increased, and the problem of light leakage is prevented. However, in a conventional process, a scan line or a data iine disposed on a thin film transistor substrate is generally in the shape of a taper, and is used as a backlight of an image display system including a liquid crystal display panel. When the back light module illuminates a conventional thin film transistor substrate, the tapered wire contains a high reflectivity metal, which causes reflection and causes a serious light leakage problem of the liquid crystal display panel. In order to solve the problem of light leakage of the liquid crystal display panel, the prior art may additionally provide a shielding metal layer under the scan line or the data line to block the light generated by the backlight device from being irradiated to the above-mentioned wire to cause reflection. . However, the above-mentioned additionally provided masking metal layer causes a decrease in the aperture ratio of the liquid crystal display panel as a whole, resulting in a decrease in brightness of the liquid crystal display panel, resulting in problems such as poor display quality. In addition, conventional techniques can also be applied to the scail une or data line on 0773-A33572TWF; P2008011 5 1374504, and the -β layer nitride nitride (SiNx) to solve the problem of light leakage of the liquid crystal display panel. However, additional processes such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), lithography, and etching required to form the fossil (5) (6) layer of the upper-level fossils cause problems in process cost. Therefore, there is a need for a liquid crystal display panel that overcomes the problem of light leakage to achieve better display quality. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A consistent embodiment of the present invention provides a method of fabricating an image display system, including providing a substrate including a display area and a pad region; sequentially forming a metal layer, an intermediate metal layer, and an upper metal layer.

The thin film transistor substrate includes a plurality of wires 216 overlying the substrate, each wire 216 having an extension extending to the pad region 214 to serve as a bond pad 218. The wire 216 is, for example, a scan line or a data line for defining an array of halogen elements, and is, for example, a data line in the embodiment of the present invention. The bonding pads 218 of the pad region 214 shown in Fig. 2 are electrically connected to the external circuit board 208 through a signal processing tape 2〇6 by means of, for example, a tape and tape automatic bonding tape or a flexible printed circuit board. Further, an anisotropic conductive paste may be disposed between the bonding pad 218 and the signal processing tape 206 to enhance the adhesion between the two. 3a to 3d are cross-sectional views showing the process of the wires and the bonding pads of the image display system according to an embodiment of the present invention. First, as shown in Fig. 3a, a 0773-A33572TWF; P2008011 7 1374504 is provided for a substrate 10G made of a transparent material such as glass or quartz, which comprises a display area 212 and an entire area 214, and the above display 2 is formed into a thin film. The area of the crystal array. In the form of a horse, a metal layer is formed on the substrate 100, and then the metal ruthenium is patterned to form a gate and a scan line; and a gate insulating layer, a polycrystalline silicon active layer such as a carrier channel, and the like are formed. The figure is not shown). Next, a lower-metal layer 102, an intermediate metal layer, and an upper metal layer 1〇6 are sequentially formed on the substrate 1 and the upper metal layer (10) and the lower metal layer are, for example, titanium, group, surface, chromium, etc. The metal or its alloy, and the intermediate metal layer 104 is, for example, a high reflectivity metal or an alloy thereof. Then, the light is formed on the upper metal layer 1〇6 by using the lithography process as an etching mask. Then, referring to S3b, the metal layer 1G6 and the intermediate metal layer are anisotropically etched by dry etching. And the lower metal layer 1 () 2 to form a wire 216 in the display region 212. The wire 216 has a lower metal wire 1〇2a, an intermediate metal wire purchase, and an upper metal wire 16a. The same % may also form a bond pad 218 in the pad region 214. The bond pad 218 includes a lower metal pad, an intermediate metal pad _ and an upper metal pad _ 'again, the bond pad 218 is tapered, and has Smoothing the sidewalls at this point also defines the source/nopole electrodes of the thin film transistor array (not shown). Then, the photoresist pattern 1〇8 is stripped. The lithography process is again utilized with reference to FIG. 3c to form a photoresist pattern 110 as an etch mask in the pad region 214 to protect the bond pads 218. Then, '凊3c and 3d' use the fishing method to 〇773'A33572TWF; P20〇8〇h 8 1374504 isotropically etched the intermediate metal wire l〇4a to make the width of the intermediate metal wire 1〇4a narrow The width of the intermediate metal wire 1〇4a is preferably narrower than the width of the lower metal wire 110a in the width of the upper metal wire 106a. Here, "width" means the width of the bottom surface of the upper, middle, and lower metal wires. The etching solution used in the wet etching method preferably has an etching rate for the intermediate metal wire 1〇乜 such as aluminum much larger than that of the upper metal wire 10a and the lower metal wire i〇2a, so that the intermediate metal wire 104a is made of the side wall. It is engraved by the surname, but the upper metal wire 1 〇 6a and the lower metal wire 102a are only slightly etched or etched. In other embodiments, a suitable reactive gas may be selected such that the intermediate metal line and the lower (or upper) metal line have a surrogate ratio of greater than 1 Å' for dry etching. Next, the photoresist pattern 110 is stripped. In order to prevent the bonding 218 of the germanium region 214 (especially the intermediate metal pad) from being oxidized by moisture, a conductive protective layer 220 may be formed on the upper surface and the sidewall of the bonding pad 218 while forming the halogen electrode. The protective layer may be a transparent conductive material such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZ). After the formation of the halogen electrode, the fabrication of the thin film transistor substrate can be completed. 3d is a cross-sectional view of the wire 216 and the bonding pad 218' formed in the image display system of the present embodiment along the Ι-Γ line of FIG. 2, the system including the substrate 1 having the display area 212 and the pad area 214.

That is, the intermediate metal wires 1?4a are also isotropically etched by wet etching, and the intermediate metal pads 10b are also etched so that the width of the intermediate metal wires 104a is narrower than the widths of the upper metal wires 106a and the lower metal wires 102a. On the other hand, the width of the intermediate metal pad 104b of the bonding pad 218 is narrower than the width of the upper metal pad and the lower metal pad 102b. In this embodiment, since the intermediate metal pad 1 of the bonding pad 218 is concave, it is easy to cause the subsequently formed conductive protective layer 22 to be broken. Therefore, in order to prevent the conductive protective layer 22 from being broken, The process shown in Figures 4d to 4e is performed. As shown in FIG. 4d, a light-sensing flat layer is formed in the display area 212 and the meandering area 2H in a comprehensive manner. The light-sensitive flat layer 222 of the present embodiment is, for example, a positive-type light-time material n. The ultraviolet light 3g passes through the light-shielding region 1G and the light-shielding region 20 of the light-shielding region 20, and is selectively exposed to the light-sensing flat layer 222 in the pad region, and then the developing step is performed by the developing solution, 0773-A33572TWF; P2008011 10 1374504 The portion where the photo-sensing flat layer 222 is exposed to cause photochemical reaction is removed, and a light-sensitive material 222a is left between the sidewall of the intermediate metal pad 104b and the upper metal pad 1〇6b and the lower metal pad 102b, as shown in FIG. 4e. Shown. Since the width of the upper metal pad 106b is wider than the width of the intermediate metal pad 1〇4b, the upper metal pad 16b can shield the material of the partial light-sensitive flat layer from exposure, and therefore, the above-described light-sensitive material 222a can be left. Then, a conductive protective layer 220 is formed on the upper metal pad 106b, and the conductive protective layer 220 may also be formed on the sidewall of the bonding pad 218. In order to prevent the conductive protective layer 220 from being broken, the processes shown in Figs. 4d to 4e may be performed after the process shown in Fig. 4c. The process shown in FIG. 4d' is different from the process shown in FIG. 4d in that the photomask 224 shown in FIG. 4d is replaced by a photomask 226, and the photomask 226 includes a light shielding region 10, a light transmissive region 20, and a semi-transmissive region 4. The halftone of the cymbal (half_t〇ne) reticle 'where the opaque area is aligned with the display area 212, the light transmissive area 20 is aligned with the central portion of the upper metal pad 106b, and the semi-transmissive area 4 对准 is aligned adjacent to the upper metal The area of the central portion of the pad 106b. The light-sensitive flat layer 222 is selectively exposed in the pad region 214 by the light ray 30 such as ultraviolet light, and then the developing step is performed by the developer to remove the light-sensitive flat layer 222 from being exposed to generate light. The portion of the chemical reaction leaves a photosensitive material 222a on the substrate 1A and the bonding pad 218 of the pad region. The photosensitive material has an opening 250 exposing the upper metal pad 106b of the bonding pad 218. Next, the upper metal pad 1 is filled with a light-sensitive material ^. A conductive protective layer 220 is formed thereon. By forming the photosensitive material 222a in the pad region 214, not only the bonding germanium 218 can be prevented from being oxidized, but also because the conductive protective 0773-A33572TWF; P2008011 11 1374504 layer 220 does not need to be formed on the bonding pad having the partially concave sidewall, thereby avoiding The conductive protective layer 220 is broken.
