Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an image display system, and more particularly to a structure of a wire and a pad of a thin film transistor substrate in a display region and a pad region, and a method of manufacturing the same . Q Art [Prior Art] LCD flat panel display devices have been widely used in various display devices for various products in recent years. In order to improve the display of the liquid crystal flat panel display. To improve the aperture ratio of the liquid crystal display panel, and to avoid the problem of light leakage (1) 0 leakage). § 1 However, in a conventional process, a scan line or a data line disposed on a substrate of a thin film transistor is generally in the shape of a taper, and includes an image display including a liquid crystal display panel. When the back light module of the system illuminates a conventional thin film transistor substrate, the reflective wire contains a high reflectivity metal, which causes reflection and thus causes serious light leakage 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 layer of 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. Reflective. However, the above-mentioned additionally provided shielding metal layer causes a decrease in the aperture ratio of the entire liquid crystal display panel, resulting in a decrease in brightness of the liquid crystal display panel, resulting in problems such as poor display quality. In addition, the prior art can also provide a layer of tantalum nitride (SiNx) on the scan line or data line 0773-A33572TWF; P2008011 5 201013786 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 above-described tantalum nitride (SiNx) layer cause an increase 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 An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for 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. On the substrate; the non-isotropic material engraves the upper metal layer, the intermediate metal layer and the lower metal layer to form a wire in the display region, the wire having a lower metal line, an intermediate metal line and an upper metal line And isotropically etching the intermediate metal line 'so that the width of the intermediate metal line is narrower than the width of the upper metal line and the width of the lower metal line. Another embodiment of the present invention provides an image display system including a thin film transistor substrate, comprising: a substrate including a substrate, a display area and a pad area; a wire, the film disposed on the display area Above the transistor substrate, the wire has a lower metal line, an intermediate metal line and a lower metal line, wherein the width of the intermediate metal line is narrower than the width of the upper metal line and the width of the lower metal line. [Cross-Phase Mode] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, Figure 1 is a schematic view of a liquid crystal display panel 500 of 〇773-A33572TWF; P2008011 6 201013786 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment of the present invention, the liquid crystal display panel 500 may be a low temperature poly-silicon liquid crystal display panel. The liquid crystal display panel 500 includes a thin film transistor substrate 202, a color filter substrate 204, and a liquid crystal material (not shown) filled in a space between the substrates. A plurality of scan lines and data lines are disposed on the thin film transistor substrate 202 to define a plurality of halogen regions, and a halogen element is included as a switch in each of the pixel regions. One of the thin film transistors (TFT). Fig. 2 shows a lead 216 of the thin film transistor substrate 202 in the display region 212 and the pad region 214 and a bonding pad 218 as an internal terminal of the thin germanium transistor substrate 202, according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the second circle, the thin film transistor substrate has a display area 212 and a pad area 214. 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 206 by means of, for example, a tape and tape automatic bonding tape or a flexible printed circuit board. Furthermore, an anisotropic conductive paste can be placed between the bond pads 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 201013786 is provided for a substrate 100 made of a transparent material such as glass or quartz, which comprises a display area 212 and a pad area 214, and the display area 212 is formed into a film. The area of the transistor array. Next, a metal layer is formed on the substrate 100, and then the metal layer is patterned to form a gate and a scan line; and a thin film transistor such as a gate insulating layer and a polysilicon active layer as a carrier channel is formed (not shown). . Next, a metal layer 102, an intermediate metal layer 104, and an upper metal layer 106 are sequentially formed on the substrate 100. The upper metal layer 102 ® and the lower metal layer are, for example, metals such as titanium, group, molybdenum, and The alloy, and the intermediate metal layer 104 is, for example, a high reflectivity aluminum metal or an alloy thereof. Then, a photoresist pattern 108 is formed on the upper metal layer 106 by a lithography process as a surname mask. Then, referring to FIG. 3b, the upper metal layer 106, the intermediate metal layer 104 and the lower metal layer 102 are anisotropically etched by dry etching to form a wire 216 in the display region 212. The wire 216 has a lower metal line 102a. An intermediate metal line 104a and an upper metal line 106a. In the same manner, the bonding pad 218 may be formed in the pad region 214. The bonding pad 218 includes a lower metal pad 102b, an intermediate metal pad 104b and an upper metal pad 106b. Further, the bonding pad 218 is tapered. It has smooth sidewalls. At this time, the source/drain electrodes of the thin film transistor array are also defined (not shown). Then, the photoresist pattern 108 is stripped. Referring to FIG. 3c, the lithography process is again utilized to form a photoresist pattern 110 as an etch mask in the pad region 214 to protect the bond pads 218. Next, referring to FIG. 3c and FIG. 3d, the intermediate metal wire 104a is etched by the wet etching method 0773-A33572TWF; P2008011 8 201013786, and the width of the intermediate metal wire 104a is narrower than the width of the upper metal wire 106a. Preferably, the width of the intermediate metal wire 10a4a is also narrower than the width of the lower metal wire 102a. 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 10a of, for example, aluminum much larger than that for the upper metal wire 106a and the lower metal wire 10a2a such that the intermediate metal wire 10a4a is made of a sidewall It is etched and recessed, but the upper metal wire i〇6a and the lower metal wire i〇2a are only slightly etched or not etched. In other embodiments, a suitable reactive gas may be selected such that the ratio of the intermediate metal line to the lower (or upper) metal line is greater than 10 for dry etching. Next, the photoresist pattern 110 is stripped. In order to prevent the bonding pad 218 (especially the intermediate metal pad) of the pad region 214 from being oxidized by moisture, a conductive protective layer 22 may be formed on the upper surface and the sidewall of the bonding pad 218 while forming the halogen electrode. The conductive protective layer may be a transparent conductive material such as indium tin oxide ( ιτο) or indium zinc oxide (IZO). 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, which is also a line along the line 1-1 of FIG. 2. The system includes a substrate having a display area 212 and a pad area 214. The wire 216 is disposed above the substrate 1 显示 of the display area 216. The wire 216 has a lower metal wire 102a, an intermediate metal wire 1 and an upper metal wire 106a'. The width is narrower than the width of the upper metal wire i〇6a and the lower metal wire 102a. According to the wire 216 structure shown in Fig. 3d, since the width of the intermediate metal wire 104a is narrow, when the backlight 0773-A33572TWF; P2008011 9 201013786 is passed through the wire 216, the upper metal wire 106a or the lower metal wire 102a can The high-reflectivity intermediate metal wire 104a is shielded to avoid light leakage of the liquid crystal display panel due to reflection, and thus the display quality of the image display system can be improved. 4th to 4eth are cross-sectional views showing a process of a wire and a bonding pad according to another embodiment of the present invention. The process steps of Figures 4a and 4b are the same as those of Figures 3a and 3b, and are not described here. Referring to Fig. 4c, the step shown in Fig. 4c is different from Fig. 3c in that the photoresist pattern covering the pad region 214 is not formed. That is, the intermediate metal wires 104a are also isotropically etched by wet etching, and the intermediate metal pads 104b 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 106b and the lower metal pad 102b. In this embodiment, since the intermediate metal pad 104b of the bonding pad 218 is concave, it is easy to cause the subsequently formed conductive protective layer 220 to crack. Therefore, in order to prevent the conductive protective layer 220 from being broken, the fourth layer can be performed. The process shown in Figure 4e. As shown in FIG. 4d, a photosensitive planarization layer 222 is formed in the display region 212 and the pad region 214 in a comprehensive manner. The light-sensitive planarization layer 222 of the present embodiment is, for example, a positive-type photoresist material, for example, by using, for example. The ultraviolet light 30 passes through the mask 224 including the light-shielding region 10 and the light-transmitting region 20, selectively exposing the light-sensitive flat layer 222 to the pad region 214, and then performing development steps using the developer, 0773-A33572TWF; P2008011 10 201013786 To remove the portion of the light-sensitive flat layer 222 that is exposed to cause a photochemical reaction, a light-sensitive material 222a is left between the sidewall of the intermediate metal pad 104b and the upper metal pad 106b and the lower metal pad 102b, as shown in FIG. Shown. Since the width of the upper metal pad 106b is wider than the width of the intermediate metal pad 104b, the upper metal pad 106b 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. ❿ In order to prevent the conductive protective layer 220 from being broken, the process shown in the fourth to fourth to fourth e'' can 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 mask 226, which includes a light shielding region 10, a light transmissive region 20, and a semi-transmissive region 40. a half-tone mask in which the light-shielding region is aligned with the display region 212, the light-transmitting region 20 is aligned with the central portion of the upper metal pad 106b, and the semi-transmissive region 40 is aligned adjacent to the upper metal pad 106b. The area of the central department. The light-sensitive flat layer 222 is selectively exposed in the pad region 214 by a 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. In the photochemical reaction portion, a photosensitive material 222a is left on the substrate 100 and the bonding pad 218 of the pad region, and the photosensitive material has an opening 250 exposing the upper metal pad 106b of the bonding pad 218. Next, a conductive protective layer 220 is formed on the upper metal pad 106b and the photosensitive material 222a. By forming the photosensitive material 222a in the pad region 214, not only the bonding pad 218 can be prevented from being oxidized, but also because the conductive protection 0773-A33572TWF; P2008011 11 201013786 layer 220 does not need to be formed on the bonding pad having the partially concave sidewall, The conductive protective layer 220 is prevented from being broken.
