PROTECTION OF GATE DRIVER ON PANEL OF THIN FILM TRANSISTOR ARRAY SUBSTRATE
First Claim
1. A gate driver on panel (GOP) located at a periphery of a thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate and configured for supplying power and signals to a display area of the TFT array substrate, the GOP comprising:
- a plurality of capacitors;
a plurality of gate driver-on-array (GOA) structures;
a plurality of transmission lines electrically connecting the capacitors and GOA structures together; and
at least one electrically conductive protection layer in electrical insulation from the capacitors, the GOA structures and the transmission lines being formed on a top of at least one of the capacitors, the GOA structures and the transmission lines to protect the at least one of the capacitors, the GOA structures and the transmission lines from damage caused by a foreign article.

Abstract
A gate driver on panel for a thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate includes a substrate, a plurality of gate drive-on-array (GOA) structures, a plurality of capacitors and a plurality of transmission lines electrically coupling the GOA structures and the capacitors together. At least one protection layer made of indium tin oxide which is electrically insulating from all of the GOA structures, the capacitors and the transmission line is formed on a top of the GOA. The at least one protection layer protects at least one of the GOA structures, the capacitors and the transmission lines from being damaged by gold balls and/or fibers in a sealant for connecting the TFT array substrate and a color filter substrate together.
