500 drain lines and 250,000 elements
It is individual. In the thin film transistor layer manufactured by the conventional manufacturing method, no line defect due to disconnection was observed on the gate 2-in, but there was a line defect of less than 6 lines on the drain line. Furthermore, there were 200 to 300 point defects due to poor characteristics of the thin film transistor. On the other hand, in the thin film transistor array manufactured by the manufacturing method of the present invention, no line defects were observed and the number of point defects was 20 or less.
