[0087] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore detailed descriptions of them will be omitted. Furthermore, the drawings are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0088] Although relative terms such as "up" and "down" are used in this specification to describe the relative relationship of one component of an icon to another, these terms are used only for convenience, such as according to the orientation of the examples shown in the accompanying drawings. It is understood that if the device of the icon is flipped upside down, the component described as "up" will become the component described as "down." When a structure is "up" of another structure, it may mean that the structure is integrally formed on the other structure, or that the structure is "directly" mounted on the other structure, or that the structure is "indirectly" mounted on the other structure through another structure.

[0089] The terms “a,” “one,” “the,” “the,” and “at least one” are used to indicate the presence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms “including” and “having” are used to indicate an open-ended inclusion and to mean that there may be other elements / components / etc. in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.; the terms “first,” “second,” and “third,” etc., are used only as markers and are not a limitation on the number of objects.

[0090] In related technologies, a conductive layer can be formed by 3D sputtering at the end of the substrate where side leads need to be formed, and then a side conductive strip can be formed by laser etching. However, the laser width is relatively large, so the etching accuracy is poor and it is not suitable for products with high precision requirements. Moreover, the solid particles formed after the laser ablation of the conductive layer are not easy to remove and may fall into the display area AA, affecting the display, or may adhere to the conductive strip, affecting the conductivity. Alternatively, a disposable mask can be used as a mask, and then 3D sputtering can be performed to form the conductive strip. However, the mask needs to be aligned, which increases the alignment process, thereby increasing costs and reducing efficiency.

[0091] Furthermore, the bottleneck in MLED technology lies in reducing the seam width, which is limited by technologies such as side lead-in wiring. Improvements in side lead-in wiring are highly beneficial for reducing seam width.

[0092] This disclosure provides an exemplary embodiment of a method for fabricating a drive backplate, referring to... Figure 1 As shown, the preparation method may include the following steps:

[0093] Step S10: A substrate 1 is provided, the substrate 1 having a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 disposed opposite to each other, and a side surface 103 is connected between the first surface 101 and the second surface 102.

[0094] Step S20: A flexible film layer 16 is formed on the first surface 101, and the flexible film layer 16 is patterned to form a first opening 161. The first opening 161 includes a first part 1611, a second part 1612 and a third part 1613 connected in sequence.

[0095] Step S30: A portion of the flexible film layer 16 is bent to the second surface 102, such that the first portion 1611 is opposite to the first surface 101, the second portion 1612 is opposite to the side surface 103, and the third portion 1613 is opposite to the second surface 102.

[0096] In step S40, using the flexible film layer 16 as a mask, a conductive layer 17 is formed on the side of the flexible film layer 16 away from the substrate 1, and the conductive layer 17 is formed in at least a portion of the first opening 161 to form a conductive strip 171.

[0097] Step S50: Remove at least the flexible film layer 16 and the conductive layer 17 around the conductive strip 171.

[0098] The driving backplate and its preparation method disclosed herein use a flexible film layer 16 formed on one side of the substrate as a mask to directly form a side conductive strip 171 on at least one end of the substrate 1. This eliminates the need for alignment processes, thereby simplifying the process, reducing costs, and improving efficiency. Moreover, the patterning process has high precision, resulting in high precision conductive strip 171 that meets the requirements of high-precision products. Furthermore, the patterning process does not generate etching foreign matter, and the display effect and conductivity are not affected by etching foreign matter.

[0099] The following section details each step of the fabrication method for the drive backplate.

[0100] Step S10: A substrate 1 is provided, the substrate 1 having a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 disposed opposite to each other, and a side surface 103 is connected between the first surface 101 and the second surface 102.

[0101] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the substrate mother plate 1a is relatively large, allowing multiple drive backplates and other structures to be formed on one substrate mother plate 1a. The dashed line in the figure represents the area of ​​the substrate mother plate 1a occupied by one drive backplate. After cutting the substrate mother plate 1a, multiple substrate substrates 1 are formed.

[0102] The substrate 1 can be a rectangular plate, having a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 disposed opposite to each other, both of which are rectangular; four side surfaces 103, each of which is rectangular, are connected between the first surface 101 and the second surface 102. Of course, in other exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the substrate 1 can be a circular or elliptical plate, in which case the first surface 101 and the second surface 102 are both circular or elliptical, and there is only one side surface 103 connecting the first surface 101 and the second surface 102; the substrate 1 can also have other shapes, which will not be described in detail here.

[0103] The substrate 1 may include a display area AA and a non-display area FA, with the display area AA and the non-display area FA connected. It should be noted that the division of the display area AA and the non-display area FA in the figure is only schematic and is for ease of understanding, and does not constitute a limitation of this disclosure.

[0104] The substrate 1 can be made of inorganic materials, such as glass, quartz, or metal. It can also be made of organic materials, such as resins like polyimide, polycarbonate, polyacrylate, polyetherimide, polyethersulfone, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyethylene naphthalate. The substrate 1 can be formed from multiple layers of material; for example, it can include multiple base layers, the base layers being made of any of the aforementioned materials. Alternatively, the substrate 1 can be a single layer, made of any of the aforementioned materials.

[0105] Step S20: A flexible film layer 16 is formed on the first surface 101, and the flexible film layer 16 is patterned to form a first opening 161. The first opening 161 may include a first part 1611, a second part 1612 and a third part 1613 connected in sequence.

[0106] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 2 As shown, a flexible film layer 16 is formed on the first surface 101 of the substrate 1 by a coating process. The flexible film layer 16 can be made of organic materials, including but not limited to PI (polyimide), and the thickness of the flexible film layer 16 can be greater than or equal to 5 micrometers and less than or equal to 20 micrometers.

[0107] Reference Figure 3 As shown, an isolation layer 20 is formed on the side of the flexible film layer 16 away from the substrate 1 through processes such as deposition and sputtering. The patterning rate of the isolation layer 20 is less than the patterning rate of the flexible film layer 16. The patterning rate can be the etching rate, that is, the etching rate of the isolation layer 20 is less than the etching rate of the flexible film layer 16.

[0108] The thickness of the isolation layer 20 can be greater than or equal to 0.5 micrometers and less than or equal to 2 micrometers. The material of the isolation layer 20 can be inorganic, including but not limited to metals, such as Al, Mo, etc. The material of the isolation layer 20 can also be silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, etc. Of course, the isolation layer 20 can also be other materials, as long as the patterning rate of the isolation layer 20 is less than the patterning rate of the flexible film layer 16. The inorganic isolation layer 20 is less prone to breakage during multiple bending processes in subsequent processes.

[0109] It should be noted that in some other exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the isolation layer 20 may not be formed on the side of the flexible film layer 16 away from the substrate 1. That is, after the flexible film layer 16 is formed, the flexible film layer 16 is directly patterned.

[0110] The flexible film layer 16 and the isolation layer 20 can cover the entire substrate 1a, and then the unwanted parts are removed during the subsequent patterning process.

[0111] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the flexible film layer 16 and the isolation layer 20 are patterned to form a first opening 161 and a second opening 202. Specifically, a photoresist layer 18 is formed on the side of the isolation layer 20 away from the substrate 1. A mask is placed on the side of the photoresist layer 18 away from the substrate 1. Then, the photoresist layer 18 is illuminated and developed to remove the illuminated photoresist layer 18. Finally, the flexible film layer 16 and the isolation layer 20 are etched using the photoresist layer 18 as a mask.

[0112] First, the isolation layer 20 can be pre-etched to form a small second opening on the isolation layer 20; then, the flexible film layer 16 can be etched using a different gas than the one used in the previous etching. The gas used to etch the flexible film layer 16 has a very low etching rate on the isolation layer 20. Figure 3 As shown, since the etching rate of the isolation layer 20 is less than the etching rate of the flexible film layer 16, after the same etching time, the etching amount of the flexible film layer 16 is greater than the etching amount of the isolation layer 20. This results in the isolation layer 20 forming a protrusion 201 protruding from the flexible film layer 16 in the second opening 202. That is, the second opening 202 is smaller than the first opening 161, and the edge of the second opening 202 is located within the edge of the first opening 161.

[0113] Reference Figure 2As shown, the first opening 161 can be multiple vias, which can be elongated; the via can include a first part 1611, a second part 1612 and a third part 1613; the second part 1612 is connected between the first part 1611 and the third part 1613, and the ends of the first part 1611 and the third part 1613 away from the second part 1612 can be set as square vias, and the second part 1612 can be set as a rectangular via.

[0114] In addition, in some other exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, the first opening 161 may also be a notch (i.e., an open opening), and the notch may be elongated; the specific shape of the notch may be the same as the above-mentioned through hole, except that the side of the third part 1613 away from the second part 1612 is set as an opening, so that the entire first opening 161 is formed as an opening with a notch; furthermore, the ends of the first part 1611 and the third part 1613 away from the second part 1612 may be set as circular through holes or elliptical through holes.

[0115] While patterning the flexible film layer 16 and the isolation layer 20 to form the first opening 161 and the second opening 202, the flexible film layer 16 and the isolation layer 20 in other areas can be removed. For example, a portion of the flexible film layer 16 and the isolation layer 20 in the display area AA can be removed, that is, a portion of the flexible film layer 16 and the isolation layer 20 located in the display area AA is retained. Retaining a portion of the flexible film layer 16 and the isolation layer 20 can prevent the flexible film layer 16 and the isolation layer 20 from being pulled off during the side lead wire process.

[0116] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 4 As shown, after patterning the flexible film layer 16 and the isolation layer 20, a light-shielding layer 2 can be formed on the first surface of the substrate. Then, a buffer layer 3 can be formed on the side of the isolation layer 20 away from the substrate 1 and the side of the light-shielding layer 2 away from the substrate 1, located in the display area AA, thereby covering the isolation layer 20. Of course, if the flexible film layer 16 and the isolation layer 20 are not formed in the display area AA, a buffer layer 3 can be formed on the side of the light-shielding layer 2 away from the substrate 1; if the isolation layer 20 is not formed, a buffer layer 3 can be formed on the side of the flexible film layer 16 away from the substrate 1 and the side of the light-shielding layer 2 away from the substrate 1.

[0117] Multiple arrayed switching units and multiple connecting wires are formed on the side of the buffer layer 3 away from the substrate 1. Each switching unit may include a capacitor and at least two thin-film transistors. The thin-film transistors may include an active layer 4, a gate 6, a source 81, and a drain. Specifically, an active layer 4 is formed on the side of the buffer layer 3 away from the substrate 1. The active layer 4 may include a channel portion 42 and conductor portions 41 disposed at both ends of the channel portion 42. A gate insulating layer 5 is formed on the side of the active layer 4 away from the substrate 1, and a gate 6 is formed on one side of the gate insulating layer 5. Simultaneously with the formation of the gate 6, a [missing information - likely a specific structure or component] is formed on the side of the buffer layer 3 away from the substrate 1. The connecting line 61 has an interlayer dielectric layer 7 formed on the side of the gate 6 away from the substrate 1. A first via 71 and a second via 72 are formed on the interlayer dielectric layer 7. The first via 71 is connected to the conductor portion 41, and the second via 72 is connected to the connecting line 61. A ground line 83, a source 81, and a drain 82 are formed on the side of the interlayer dielectric layer 7 away from the substrate 1. The source 81 and the drain 82 are respectively connected to the two conductor portions 41 through the two first vias 71, and the ground line 83 is connected to the connecting line 61 through the second via 72.

[0118] It should be noted that in cases where thin-film transistors with opposite polarities are used or where the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of "source 81" and "drain 82" may sometimes be interchanged. Therefore, in this specification, "source 81" and "drain 82" may be interchanged.

[0119] The connecting wires may include gate wires, data lines, power lines, etc. The connecting wires are connected between the switching unit and the conductive strip 171, and electrical signals are transmitted through the conductive strip 171 and the connecting wires. The gate wires can be formed at the same time as the gate 6 is formed, and the data lines and power lines can be formed at the same time as the source 81 and the drain 82 are formed.

[0120] In addition, while forming the connecting wire, a connecting portion 19 connecting the conductive strip 171 and the connecting wire is formed. The connecting portion 19 is formed at one end of the first portion 1611 of the first opening 161 near the display area AA and at one end of the second opening 202 near the display area AA.

[0121] A first planarization layer 9 is formed on the side of the switching unit away from the substrate 1, and a third via 91 and a fourth via 92 are formed on the first planarization layer 9; a first insulating layer 10 is formed on the side of the first planarization layer 9 away from the substrate 1, and a fifth via and a sixth via 1002 are formed on the first insulating layer 10.

[0122] A first conductive layer 11 is formed on the side of the insulating layer away from the substrate 1. The first conductive layer 11 is connected to the source and drain electrodes through two third vias 91, and to the ground wire 83 through a fourth via 92. The first conductive layer 11 may be a nickel-molybdenum alloy. The first conductive layer 11 can prevent the subsequently formed metal layer 12 from penetrating into the film layer below the metal layer 12.

[0123] A metal layer 12 is deposited on the side of the first conductive layer 11 away from the substrate 1. The metal layer 12 can be made of copper, or other metals. During the high-temperature annealing process, the metal layer 12 is prone to natural oxidation. The metal layer 12 after natural oxidation has poor conductivity and poor adhesion to gold in the subsequent gold plating process, which affects the performance of the driving backplane. However, if the high-temperature annealing process is not performed, it will cause abnormalities in the thin-film transistor, such as discrete transfer curves, positive or negative Vth bias, etc.

[0124] A protective material layer 13 is deposited on the side of the metal layer 12 away from the substrate 1. The protective material layer 13 can be an oxide, such as IGZO (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide) or ITZO (Indium Tin Zinc Oxide). IGZO and ITZO react rapidly with dilute acids. Of course, the protective material layer 13 can also be other oxides. The thickness of the protective material layer 13 is greater than or equal to 10 nm and less than or equal to 50 nm. During the deposition of the protective material layer 13, it is not necessary to add O2 for reactive sputtering, and it will not cause oxidation of the metal layer 12.

[0125] During the high-temperature annealing process, the protective material layer 13 can protect the metal layer 12 and prevent the metal layer 12 from undergoing natural oxidation. This allows the driving backplane to be annealed at high temperatures, thereby preventing abnormalities such as transfer curve dispersion, Vth positive bias, or negative bias in the thin-film transistor.

[0126] Reference Figures 5-7As shown, photoresist 18 is formed on the side of metal layer 12 away from substrate 1. A photomask is placed on the side of photoresist 18 away from substrate 1. The photoresist 18 is exposed and developed using the photomask as a mask. Then, using the remaining photoresist 18 as a mask, the protective material layer 13, metal layer 12, and first conductive layer 11 are etched sequentially. Specifically, the protective material layer 13 is etched first to form a protective layer 131, and then the metal layer 12 and the first conductive layer 11 are etched. The metal layer 12 is etched to form connection pins 121, and the first conductive layer 11 is etched to form conductive pins 111. The set etching amount of the protective material layer 13 is greater than the set etching amount of the metal layer 12, so that after the protective material layer 13 and the metal layer 12 are patterned sequentially, the orthographic projection of the protective layer 131 on substrate 1 is located within the orthographic projection of the side of the connection pins 121 away from substrate 1 on substrate 1.

[0127] Because the metal layer 12 is relatively thick, the etching time is long, which can easily lead to the formation of a frustum or truncated cone structure with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part. For example, the metal layer 12 can be etched to form a frustum-shaped connection pin 121, with the diameter of the side of the connection pin 121 away from the substrate 1 being R1 and the diameter of the side of the connection pin 121 close to the substrate 1 being R2, and R1 being smaller than R2. If the protective material layer 13 maintains the same etching amount as the metal layer 12, for example, the protective material layer 13 can be etched to form a circular plate with a diameter of R2. The diameter of the protective layer 131 is larger than the diameter R1 of the side of the connection pin 121 away from the substrate 1, causing the edge of the protective layer 131 to protrude beyond the edge of the connection pin 121. During the subsequent deposition of the second insulating layer 14, the second insulating layer 14 is prone to breakage, thus failing to provide insulation protection for the connection pin 121.

[0128] It should be noted that the etching amount refers to the etching amount in the direction parallel to the surface of the substrate 1 facing the metal layer 12.

[0129] Therefore, when etching the protective material layer 13, it is necessary to ensure that there is a certain amount of over-etching on the protective material layer 13, that is, the set etching amount of the protective material layer 13 is greater than the set etching amount of the metal layer 12; so that the orthographic projection of the protective layer 131 on the substrate 1 is located within the orthographic projection of the side of the connection pin 121 away from the substrate 1 on the substrate 1. That is, the orthographic projection of the protective layer 131 on the substrate 1 can completely coincide with the orthographic projection of the side of the connection pin 121 away from the substrate 1 on the substrate 1, or the orthographic projection of the protective layer 131 on the substrate 1 can be located within the orthographic projection of the side of the connection pin 121 away from the substrate 1 on the substrate 1, that is, the orthographic projection of the protective layer 131 on the substrate 1 is smaller than the orthographic projection of the side of the connection pin 121 away from the substrate 1 on the substrate 1.

[0130] This prevents the second insulating layer 14 from breaking during its subsequent formation, thus enabling the second insulating layer 14 to provide insulation protection for the connection pin 121.

[0131] Reference Figure 8 As shown, remove photoresist 18. (Refer to...) Figure 9 As shown, a second insulating layer 14 is formed on the side of the protective layer 131 away from the substrate, and a second planarization layer 15 is formed on the side of the second insulating layer 14 away from the substrate. The second planarization layer 15 and the second insulating layer 14 are patterned to form a seventh via 151 and an eighth via 152. The seventh via 151 can be connected to the source 81, and the eighth via 152 can be connected to the ground line 83.

[0132] After the switch unit and other components are fabricated, the substrate motherboard 1a can be cut into multiple substrate substrates 1, and then the side lead wire process can be performed.

[0133] Step S30: A portion of the flexible film layer 16 is bent to the second surface 102, such that the first portion 1611 is opposite to the first surface 101, the second portion 1612 is opposite to the side surface 103, and the third portion 1613 is opposite to the second surface 102.

[0134] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 10 As shown, the flexible film layer 16 and the isolation layer 20 are bent away from the second surface 102, so that part of the flexible film layer 16 is separated from the substrate 1; then, referring to Figure 11 As shown, the exposed portion of the substrate 1 can be removed by cutting, causing one end of the flexible film layer 16 to protrude beyond the substrate 1. This ensures that after the flexible film layer 16 is flattened, the orthographic projections of the second portion 1612 and the third portion 1613 onto the first plane do not overlap with the orthographic projection of the substrate 1 onto the first plane, which is a plane parallel to the substrate 1. Finally, refer to... Figure 12 As shown, the side surface 103 of the substrate 1 is ground to form a chamfer on the edge connecting the side surface 103 to the first surface 101, and also on the edge connecting the side surface 103 to the second surface 102. The chamfer can be an angled chamfer or a rounded chamfer. The chamfering makes the connection between the first surface 101 and the side surface 103, and between the second surface 102 and the side surface 103, smoother. This also ensures that the subsequent bending of the conductive layer 17 from the first surface 101 to the side surface 103, and from the side surface 103 to the second surface 102, is also smoother, preventing the conductive layer 17 from forming sharp bends that could easily break.

[0135] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 13As shown, the flexible film layer 16 and the isolation layer 20 are bent to the second surface 102 at the end away from the display area AA, and the first part 1611 of the first opening 161 is opposite to the first surface 101, the second part 1612 of the first opening 161 is opposite to the side surface 103, and the third part 1613 of the first opening 161 is opposite to the second surface 102.

[0136] A set tension can be applied to the flexible film layer 16 and the isolation layer 20. Specifically, a tension parallel to the substrate 1 is applied to the end of the flexible film layer 16 bent to the second surface 102, ensuring complete adhesion between the bent flexible film layer 16 and the substrate 1, thus preventing gaps between them. If gaps exist between the flexible film layer 16 and the substrate 1, during the subsequent formation of the conductive layer 17, conductive material will not only be deposited on the substrate 1 not covered by the flexible film layer 16, but will also form through the gaps on the substrate 1 covered by the flexible film layer 16, affecting the accuracy of the subsequently formed conductive layer 17. Furthermore, if the distance between two adjacent first openings 161 is small, the two formed conductive strips 171 may connect together, causing a short circuit. Complete adhesion between the flexible film layer 16 and the substrate 1 avoids these problems.

[0137] In step S40, using the flexible film layer 16 as a mask, a conductive layer 17 is formed on the side of the flexible film layer 16 away from the substrate 1, and the conductive layer 17 is formed in at least a portion of the first opening 161 to form a conductive strip 171.

[0138] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 13 As shown in the figure, the arrows indicate the sputtering direction. The flexible film layer 16 is used as a mask, that is, the flexible film layer 16 is used as a shielding layer. Two shielding plates 21 are set in the display area AA. One shielding plate 21 is set on the second surface of the substrate, and the other shielding plate 21 is set on the side of the protective layer 131 away from the substrate to prevent conductive material from forming in the display area AA. On the side of the flexible film layer 16 away from the substrate 1, mainly the side where the first opening 161 is set, a sputtering device is set. Multiple sputtering devices can be set. Multiple sputtering devices form a semi-enclosure that surrounds the end of the substrate 1 where the conductive strip 171 needs to be formed. Multiple sputtering devices sputter conductive material into the first opening 161 of the flexible film layer 16 from multiple directions. The conductive material forms a conductive layer 17. The conductive layer formed in the first opening 161 is the conductive strip 171.

[0139] The conductive layer 17 can be a three-layer structure, with the first layer being titanium, the second layer being copper, and the third layer being titanium; it can be sputtered in three stages during a single sputtering process.

[0140] Reference Figure 14 As shown, the conductive strip 171 may include a first conductive portion 1711, a second conductive portion 1712, and a third conductive portion 1713 connected in sequence. The first conductive portion 1711 is formed within a first portion 1611 of the first opening 161 and is located on the first surface 101. The area of ​​the first conductive portion 1711 away from the second conductive portion 1712 is larger and can serve as a connection pad. The second conductive portion 1712 is formed within a second portion 1612 of the first opening 161 and is located on the side surface 103. The third conductive portion 1713 is formed within a third portion 1613 of the first opening 161 and is located on the second surface 102. The area of ​​the third conductive portion 1713 away from the second conductive portion 1712 is larger and can also serve as a connection pad.

[0141] Reference Figure 14 As shown, due to the presence of an isolation layer 20, which is patterned to form a protrusion 201 protruding from the flexible film layer 16, during the sputtering formation of the conductive layer 17 and the conductive strip 171, the protrusion 201 blocks the conductive layer 17 formed on the side of the isolation layer 20 away from the substrate, causing the conductive layer 17 formed on the side away from the substrate to break from the conductive strip 171 formed in the first opening 161. During the subsequent peeling of the flexible film layer 16, the flexible film layer 16 will not carry the conductive strip 171 away, thereby ensuring the stability of the conductive strip 171.

[0142] Step S50: Remove at least the flexible film layer 16 and the conductive layer 17 around the conductive strip 171.

[0143] In this example implementation, refer to Figure 15 As shown, the flexible film layer 16 is peeled off from the second surface 102, the end face, and a portion of the first surface 101, such that at least a portion of the flexible film layer 16 with the first opening 161 is peeled off from the substrate 1; then, referring to Figure 16 As shown, the flexible film layer 16 and conductive layer 17 are removed; thereby removing the flexible film layer 16 and conductive layer 17 around the conductive strip 171; while the conductive strip 171 remains attached to the first surface 101, end surface and second surface 102 of the substrate 1.

[0144] Of course, in some other example embodiments of this disclosure, if the flexible film layer 16 and the conductive layer 17 are not provided in the display area AA, the flexible film layer 16 and the conductive layer 17 can be completely peeled off and removed, leaving only the conductive strip 171.

[0145] The fabrication of the drive backplate is now complete. The conductive strip 171 is fabricated using the above method, which eliminates the need for alignment, thereby simplifying the process and reducing costs. Moreover, the formed conductive strip 171 has high precision and does not produce etching foreign matter.
