Abstract
A method for producing a thin film transistor includes providing a glass substrate; disposing a positive photosensitive coating on the glass substrate; providing a transparent molding plate having a plurality of ladder opaque protrusions that are arranged in accordance with a predetermined pattern and that have at least two different depths; pressing the transparent molding plate into the positive photosensitive coating without contacting the glass substrate; exposing a part of the positive photosensitive coating which is unshielded under the ladder opaque protrusions, with a UV light; separating the transparent molding plate from the glass substrate after the step of exposing; and removing the part of the positive photosensitive coating, which is unshielded under the ladder opaque protrusions and not cured, using a chemical solvent, whereby the thin film transistor is formed in a pattern having more than two different depths.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
