Abstract

The invention discloses a thin-film transistor, a preparation method of the thin-film transistor, an array substrate and a display device. A passivation layer is made of negative photoresist or positive photoresist, so that when a graph of an active layer and a graph of the passivation layer covering the active layer are formed with a one-time composition technology, the passivation layer can be used as the photoresist for preparing the graph of the active layer, and photoresist removal treatment is not performed on the passivation layer, which is made of the negative photoresist or positive photoresist, remaining on the active layer after composition. Thus, compared with the prior art, the thin-film transistor has the advantages that direct damage to the performance of the active layer in the photoresist removal process can be avoided, and the performance of the thin-film transistor is guaranteed. In addition, the reserved passivation layer can be used as a protective layer of the active layer to prevent impurities from entering the active layer from the upper side of the active layer, and the performance of the thin-film transistor is further guaranteed.
