Problems solved by technology

[0006] It is not difficult to find from the above-mentioned production methods that at least 8 to 9 patterning processes are required in the entire production process, and each patterning process needs to go through multiple processes such as gluing, exposure, development, cleaning, etc., which leads to arrays in the prior art. The manufacturing steps of the substrate are very complicated, and the production efficiency is low; in addition, high alignment accuracy is required in the patterning process, and high-precision alignment is very difficult. Once the alignment is not accurate, the yield rate of the product will directly decrease
