COPPER WIRE OR COPPER ELECTRODE PROTECTED BY SILVER THIN LAYER AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE HAVING THE WIRE OR ELECTRODE

摘要

Disclosed are a copper wire or a copper electrode protected by a silver thin layer coated on a surface of the copper wire or the copper electrode, and a method for fabricating the copper wire or the copper electrode. A liquid crystal display device and a method for manufacturing the same are also disclosed. After forming the copper wire or the copper electrode on the substrate, a silver thin layer is coated on the surface of the copper wire or the copper electrode, so that the silver thin layer protects copper. Thus, the copper has superior resistance against oxidation reaction or other unnecessary reactions, thereby improving the performance of the copper wire or the copper electrode.
