Interconnect structure for TFT-array substrate and method for fabricating the same

An interconnect structure connecting two isolated metal lines in a non-display area of a TFT-array substrate. A first metal line is disposed on the substrate, covered with a first insulating layer. A second metal line is disposed on the first insulating layer and covered by a second insulating layer. ITO (indium tin oxide) wiring is disposed on the second insulating layer, electrically connecting the first and second metal lines. A passivation structure is disposed on the second insulating layer, with an opening therein to expose and surround the ITO wiring.
