In practical applications, the gate driving circuit is completed by using a photomask and a designed circuit drawing through processes such as a thin film process, a photolithography process, an etching process, and the like. As shown in fig. 1(a) and 1(b), static electricity generated during the transportation of the mask 10 or due to the humidity change of the surrounding environment often damages the patterns of the source 10 and the drain 20 of the tft formed on the mask, and these belt-shaped traces 30 damaged by static electricity may cause the trenches 30 of the patterns of the source 10 and the drain 20 on the mask, as shown in fig. 2(a) and 2(b), which are the structural diagrams of the patterns of the source 10 and the drain 20 of the tft of a normal mask, the light transmittance of the pattern of the mask at the trenches 30 is reduced from 100% to 0%, so that the electrostatic damage traces 30 are not exposed enough during yellow light exposure, and then the photoresist remains after development; therefore, after the etching process, a short circuit between the source and the drain is directly formed, so that the thin film transistor switch fails, and finally, an abnormal display result is caused.
