The second active layer 321 includes a second channel region 3211 and doped regions located at two sides of the second channel region 3211, that is, a third doped region 3212 and a fourth doped region 3213, specifically, the second source 325 is connected to the third doped region 3212 through a via hole penetrating through the second interlayer dielectric layer 324 and the second gate insulating layer 322, and the second drain 326 is connected to the fourth doped region 3213 through a via hole penetrating through the second interlayer dielectric layer 324 and the second gate insulating layer 322.

The second gate layer 323 of the second transistor includes a first conductive layer 3231 and a second conductive layer 3232, which are stacked, where the second conductive layer 3232 is located on a side of the first conductive layer 3231 away from the substrate 101. The first conductive layer 3231 is made of a transparent conductive material, for example, the first conductive layer 3231 is made of ITO; the second conductive layer 3232 is made of a light-shielding conductive material, for example, the second conductive layer 3232 is made of Mo (molybdenum).
An orthogonal projection of the second conductive layer 3232 on the substrate 101 covers an orthogonal projection of the first conductive layer 3231 on the substrate 101. In some embodiments, an orthographic projection of the second conductive layer 3232 on the substrate 101 completely coincides with an orthographic projection of the first conductive layer 3231 on the substrate 101, and at this time, an area of the orthographic projection of the second conductive layer 3232 on the substrate 101 is equal to an area of the orthographic projection of the first conductive layer 3231 on the substrate 101; in other embodiments, the second conductive layer 3232 covers part of the second gate insulating layer 322 in addition to the first conductive layer 3231, and the area of the orthographic projection of the second conductive layer 3232 on the substrate 101 is larger than the area of the orthographic projection of the first conductive layer 3231 on the substrate 101.
In addition, the second active layer 321 and the first active layer 311 may be disposed on the same layer on the substrate 101, the second gate insulating layer 322 and the first gate insulating layer 312 may be disposed on the same layer and have the same material, the second interlayer dielectric layer 324 and the first interlayer dielectric layer 314 may be disposed on the same layer and have the same material, and the second source drain electrode layer and the first source drain electrode layer may be disposed on the same layer and have the same material.
In the embodiment of the present application, the second conductive layer 3232 is made of a light-shielding conductive material, and the first conductive layer 3231 is covered by the second conductive layer 3232, so that the intensity of incident light to the second channel region 3211 in the second active layer 321 is reduced, and thus the leakage current generated by the second transistor is reduced. In addition, the first conductive layer 3231 and the second conductive layer 3232 are used as the second gate layer 323 of the second transistor, so that the routing resistance corresponding to the second gate layer 323 of the second transistor can be reduced to a certain extent.
It should be noted that the second transistor shown in fig. 5 is a top-gate transistor, and in some products, the second transistor may also be a bottom-gate transistor. Further, fig. 5 shows only one second transistor to represent all the transistors included in the signal reading circuit 32 and the amplifying circuit 40, and actually, the signal reading circuit 32 and the amplifying circuit 40 each include a plurality of transistors.
In the embodiment of the present application, in order to reduce the deformation of the photosensor caused by external mechanical stress, a stress protection layer may be disposed on a side of the photosensor away from the substrate 101, as shown in fig. 2 to 4, the stress protection layer includes a plurality of first stress protection structures 61, and the first stress protection structures 61 directly cover a surface of the side of the photosensitive unit 31 away from the substrate 101, that is, the first stress protection structures 61 may directly contact with the first interlayer dielectric layer 314, the first source 315, and the first drain 316 of the phototransistor in the photosensitive unit 31, so that an orthographic projection of each first stress protection structure 61 on the substrate 101 covers an orthographic projection of the photosensitive unit 31 on the substrate 101.
In an actual product, the first stress protection structure 61 is also in contact with a portion of the substrate 101 outside the area where the photosensitive unit 31 is located, and at this time, the area of the orthographic projection of the first stress protection structure 61 on the substrate 101 is larger than the area of the orthographic projection of the photosensitive unit 31 on the substrate 101.
As shown in fig. 4, the first gate insulating layer 312 between two adjacent photosensitive units 31 is disconnected, and the first interlayer dielectric layer 314 between two adjacent photosensitive units 31 is also disconnected, but it is understood that the first gate insulating layer 312 between two adjacent photosensitive units 31 may also be connected, and the first interlayer dielectric layer 314 between two adjacent photosensitive units 31 is also connected.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the first stress protection structure 61 is used to rigidly reinforce the photosensitive unit 31, and when the first stress protection structure 61 is subjected to an external mechanical stress, the stress applied to the photosensitive unit 31 is reduced by the first stress protection structure 61, so that the deformation of the photosensitive unit 31 due to the stress is reduced, the stability of the performance of the phototransistor in the photosensitive unit 31 is improved, and the stability of the performance of the photosensor is improved.
In some embodiments, the first stress protection structures 61 correspond to the light sensing units 31 one to one, and an orthogonal projection of each first stress protection structure 61 on the substrate 101 covers an orthogonal projection of one light sensing unit 31 on the substrate 101, while the first stress protection structures 61 corresponding to two adjacent light sensing units 31 are disconnected.
At this time, the number of the first stress protection structures 61 is equal to the number of the photosensitive units 31, and the distribution manner of the first stress protection structures 61 is also the same as that of the photosensitive units 31. That is, when the photosensor includes M × N photosensitive units 31 distributed in an array, the stress protection layer also includes M × N first stress protection structures 61 distributed in an array, and each first stress protection structure 61 is located in the display area 11.
Because not only the photosensitive unit 31 but also the pixel unit need to be arranged in the display area 11, the pixel driving circuit in the pixel unit and some conductive film layers in the light emitting device which need to be connected are not arranged on the same layer, for example, the anode of the light emitting device and the drain electrode of the driving transistor in the pixel driving circuit are not arranged on the same layer, at this time, the insulating film layer between the two conductive film layers needs to be etched to form a through via hole, and the two conductive film layers are connected through the through via hole. If the first stress protection structures 61 corresponding to the two adjacent photosensitive units 31 are not disconnected, patterning is performed on the stress protection layer between the two photosensitive units 31 to form through via holes, but the difficulty of forming the via holes by patterning the stress protection layer is high due to the large thickness of the stress protection layer; when the two conductive film layers are connected through the via hole penetrating through the stress protection layer, the thickness of the stress protection layer is large, and the area of the via hole is usually small, so that the situation that the two conductive film layers are broken in the via hole is easily caused.
Therefore, according to the embodiment of the application, the first stress protection structures 61 corresponding to the two adjacent photosensitive units 31 are disconnected, so that the difficulty of the manufacturing process of the through hole can be reduced when the two conductive film layers in the pixel unit are connected through the through hole, and the probability of breakage of the two conductive film layers in the through hole is reduced.
In the embodiment of the present application, the stress protection layer includes at least one organic protection layer, that is, the first stress protection structure 61 is made of at least one organic protection layer, and the material of the organic protection layer is an organic insulating material, for example, the material of the organic protection layer is organic resin or polyimide, etc. In some embodiments, the organic resin may be a photosensitive resin, so that a photoresist may not be coated on the photosensitive resin film during the patterning process of the photosensitive resin film to form the organic protective layer, thereby reducing the number of processes for forming the stress protective layer.
Moreover, compared with an inorganic insulating material, the patterning difficulty of the organic insulating material is low, so that the stress protection layer in the embodiment of the application is made of the organic insulating material, the patterning difficulty of the stress protection layer can be reduced, and the stress protection layer can be conveniently made.
When the stress shielding layer includes a plurality of organic shielding layers, the organic shielding layers are sequentially stacked in a thickness direction of the display panel 10 (i.e., a direction from the substrate 101 to the photosensitive unit 31). For example, as shown in fig. 2, the stress protection layer includes 2 organic protection layers, such that the first stress protection structure 61 includes a first stress protection layer 611 and a second stress protection layer 612, the first stress protection layer 611 directly covers the photosensitive unit 31, and the second stress protection layer 612 is disposed on a surface of the first stress protection layer 611 on a side away from the photosensitive unit 31.
Certainly, the number of layers of the organic protective layer that the stress protective layer includes is uneven and is limited to 2, and can also be 3, 4 layers etc. when the number of layers of the organic protective layer that the stress protective layer includes is more, the gross thickness of the stress protective layer is bigger to make the stress that acts on the photosensitive unit 31 less, but it can influence the thickness of display screen 10, therefore, through rationally setting up the number of layers of the organic protective layer that the stress protective layer includes, when reducing the stress that acts on the photosensitive unit 31, make the thickness of display screen 10 thinner.
It should be noted that, when the stress protection layer includes multiple organic protection layers, the thicknesses of the organic protection layers may be equal or different; when the stress protective layer comprises a plurality of organic protective layers, the materials of the organic protective layers can be the same or different; the number of layers of the organic protective layers included in the first stress protection structures 61 corresponding to the respective photosensitive units 31 may be set to be equal, for example, the first stress protection structures 61 corresponding to each photosensitive unit 31 include two organic protective layers.
As shown in fig. 2 and fig. 5, the stress protection layer further includes a second stress protection structure 62, where the second stress protection structure 62 directly covers the surface of the signal reading circuit 31 and the amplification circuit 40 on the side away from the substrate 101, that is, the second stress protection structure 62 may directly contact with the second interlayer dielectric layer 324, the second source 325 and the second drain 326 in the second transistor, and the second stress protection structure 62 further contacts with the portion of the substrate 101 outside the region where the second transistor is located, so that an orthographic projection of the second stress protection structure 62 on the substrate 101 covers an orthographic projection of the signal reading circuit 32 and the amplification circuit 40 on the substrate 101, and at this time, an orthographic projection area of the second stress protection structure 62 on the substrate 101 is larger than an orthographic projection area of the signal reading circuit 32 and the amplification circuit 40 on the substrate 101.
When the terminal device is subjected to external mechanical stress, the stress may also act on the positions where the signal reading circuit 32 and the amplifying circuit 40 are located, causing the transistors in the signal reading circuit 32 and the amplifying circuit 40 to deform, thereby affecting the stability of the transistors in the signal reading circuit 32 and the amplifying circuit 40. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the second stress protection structure 62 covering the signal reading circuit 32 and the amplifying circuit 40 may be disposed in the display screen 10, the signal reading circuit 32 and the amplifying circuit 40 are rigidly reinforced by the second stress protection structure 62, and when the terminal device is subjected to an external mechanical stress, the stress applied to the signal reading circuit 32 and the amplifying circuit 40 is reduced by the second stress protection structure 62, so that deformation of transistors in the signal reading circuit 32 and the amplifying circuit 40 due to the external stress is reduced, stability of the transistors in the signal reading circuit 32 and the amplifying circuit 40 is improved, and stability of performance of the photosensor is improved.
In some embodiments, the second stress shielding structure 62 includes a number of layers equal to the number of layers included in the first stress shielding structure 61. For example, as shown in fig. 4, the first stress protection structure 61 includes a first stress protection layer 611 and a second stress protection layer 612, and as shown in fig. 5, the second stress protection structure 62 includes a third stress protection layer 621 and a fourth stress protection layer 622.
In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the signal reading circuits 32 is smaller than the number of the light sensing units 31, and the number of the amplifying circuits 40 is 1. Under the condition that the signal reading circuit 32 has a fast speed for reading the photo sensing signals, the number of the signal reading circuits in the embodiment of the present application may be set to 1, and at this time, all the first output signal lines Out1 connected to the photo sensing units 31 are connected to the signal input end of the signal reading circuit; in contrast, when the speed of reading the photosensitive signal by the signal reading circuit is slow, the number of the signal reading circuits in the embodiment of the present application may be set to be plural, for example, 4 signal reading circuits are provided.
And the number of the second stress protection structures 62 is 1, which can cover all the signal reading circuits 32 and the amplifying circuits 40 to reduce the stress applied to the signal reading circuits 32 and the amplifying circuits 40. Also, since the signal reading circuit 32 and the amplifying circuit 40 are both located in the non-display area 12, the second stress protection structure 62 is also located in the non-display area 12.
Fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of another display screen provided in an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 6, the stress protection layer further includes a third stress protection structure 63 and a fourth stress protection structure 64, the third stress protection structure 63 and the fourth stress protection structure 64 are disconnected from each other, and the number of the third stress protection structure 63 and the number of the fourth stress protection structure 64 are both 1.
The third stress protection structure 63 directly covers the surface of the signal reading circuit 32 on the side away from the substrate 101, so that the orthographic projection of the third stress protection structure 63 on the substrate 101 covers the orthographic projection of the signal reading circuit 32 on the substrate 101, and at this time, the area of the orthographic projection of the third stress protection structure 63 on the substrate 101 is larger than the area of the orthographic projection of the signal reading circuit 32 on the substrate 101.
Correspondingly, the fourth stress protection structure 64 directly covers the surface of the amplifying circuit 40 on the side away from the substrate 101, so that the orthographic projection of the fourth stress protection structure 64 on the substrate 101 covers the orthographic projection of the amplifying circuit 40 on the substrate 101, and at this time, the orthographic projection area of the fourth stress protection structure 64 on the substrate 101 is larger than the orthographic projection area of the amplifying circuit 40 on the substrate 101.
The signal reading circuit 32 is rigidly reinforced by the third stress protection structure 63, and when the terminal device is subjected to external mechanical stress, the stress acting on the signal reading circuit 32 is reduced by the third stress protection structure 63, so that the deformation of a transistor in the signal reading circuit 32 due to the external stress is reduced; moreover, the fourth stress protection structure 64 is used for rigidly reinforcing the amplifying circuit 40, and when the terminal equipment is subjected to external mechanical stress, the fourth stress protection structure 64 is used for reducing the stress applied to the amplifying circuit 40, so that the deformation of the transistor in the amplifying circuit 40 caused by the external stress is reduced.
It should be noted that the display panel 10 shown in fig. 6 is different from the display panel 10 shown in fig. 2 in the distribution of the stress-protection structures for rigidly reinforcing the signal reading circuit 32 and the amplifying circuit 40, the orthographic projection of the second stress-protection structure 62 on the substrate 101 in fig. 2 covers the orthographic projection of the signal reading circuit 32 and the amplifying circuit 40 on the substrate 101, the orthographic projection of the third stress-protection structure 63 on the substrate 101 in fig. 6 covers the orthographic projection of the signal reading circuit 32 on the substrate 101, the orthographic projection of the fourth stress-protection structure 64 on the substrate 101 covers the orthographic projection of the amplifying circuit 40 on the substrate 101, and the rest of the structures are basically similar.

Fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a method for manufacturing a display screen according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 8, a method for manufacturing a display screen according to an embodiment of the present application may specifically include the following steps:
step 801 forms a photosensor on a substrate.
In the embodiment of the present application, first, a substrate 101 is provided, and then, a photosensor is formed on the substrate 101, the photosensor includes a plurality of photosensitive cells 31 formed in the display area 11, and a signal reading circuit 32 and an amplifying circuit 40 formed in the non-display area 12, the plurality of photosensitive cells 31 are connected to a signal input terminal of the signal reading circuit 32, a signal output terminal of the signal reading circuit 32 is connected to a signal input terminal of the amplifying circuit 40, and a signal output terminal of the amplifying circuit 40 extends to a position where the driving chip 50 is located through a third output signal line Out3 so as to be bound to the driving chip 50.
Each photosensitive unit 31 includes at least one photosensitive element, each photosensitive element is a first transistor, a transistor in the signal reading circuit 32 and a transistor in the amplifying circuit 40 are second transistors, and the specific forming processes of the first transistor and the second transistor are as follows:
first, a first active layer 311 of a first transistor and a second active layer 321 of a second transistor are formed on a substrate 101 using a patterning process; then, a gate insulating layer is formed to cover the first and second active layers 311 and 321, which may also cover the substrate 101 outside the region where the first and second active layers 311 and 321 are located, and when the second and first gate insulating layers 322 and 312 are disposed at the same layer and connected to each other, the second and first gate insulating layers 322 and 312 may be collectively referred to as a gate insulating layer; next, a first gate layer 313 of the first transistor and a second gate layer 323 of the second transistor are formed on the gate insulating layer by using a patterning process; then, an interlayer dielectric layer covering the first gate layer 313 and the second gate layer 323 is formed, the interlayer dielectric layer may further cover a gate insulating layer outside the region where the first gate layer 313 and the second gate layer 323 are located, and when the first interlayer dielectric layer 314 and the second interlayer dielectric layer 324 are disposed at the same layer and connected to each other, the first interlayer dielectric layer 314 and the second interlayer dielectric layer 324 may be collectively referred to as an interlayer dielectric layer; finally, a patterning process is performed on the interlayer dielectric layer to form a first source 315 and a first drain 316 of the first transistor, and a second source 325 and a second drain 326 of the second transistor.
Since the first gate layer 313 of the first transistor is a first conductive layer, and the second gate layer 323 of the second transistor includes the first conductive layer 3231 and the second conductive layer 3232 which are stacked, the first gate layer 313 of the first transistor and the second gate layer 323 of the second transistor can be formed in the following two ways.
In an alternative embodiment, a first conductive film and a second conductive film are sequentially formed on a gate insulating layer by sputtering or the like, a photoresist is coated on the second conductive film, and then the photoresist is exposed by using a halftone mask, developed after exposure, and then etched by using an etching process, so that a first gate layer 313 of a first transistor and a second gate layer 323 of a second transistor are formed.
Taking the photoresist coated on the second conductive film as a negative photoresist as an example, in the halftone mask plate, the light transmittance at the region corresponding to the second gate layer 323 is greater than the light transmittance at the region corresponding to the first gate layer 313, and the light transmittance at the region corresponding to the first gate layer 313 is greater than the light transmittance at the region other than the regions where the second gate layer 323 and the first gate layer 313 are located. Therefore, after the photoresist is exposed and developed by using the halftone mask, the photoresist at the region where the second gate layer 323 is located is completely retained, the photoresist at the region where the first gate layer 313 is located is partially removed, and the photoresist at the region other than the region where the second gate layer 323 and the first gate layer 313 are located is completely removed; accordingly, after the first conductive film and the second conductive film are etched by using an etching process, the first conductive film and the second conductive film at the second gate layer 323 are completely remained, so that the second gate layer 323 includes the first conductive layer 3231 and the second conductive layer 3232 which are stacked, the second conductive film at the region where the first gate layer 313 is located is etched, and the first conductive film is not etched, so that the first gate layer 313 is a first conductive layer.
Of course, the photoresist coated on the second conductive film may also be a positive photoresist, in this case, in the halftone mask, the light transmittance at the region corresponding to the second gate layer 323 is smaller than the light transmittance at the region corresponding to the first gate layer 313, and the light transmittance at the region corresponding to the first gate layer 313 is smaller than the light transmittance at the region other than the regions where the second gate layer 323 and the first gate layer 313 are located.
In another alternative embodiment, a first conductive film is formed over the gate insulating layer by a sputtering process or the like; patterning the first conductive film to form a first gate layer 313 of the first transistor and a first conductive layer 3231 included in a second gate layer 323 of the second transistor, wherein the first gate layer 313 of the first transistor is a first conductive layer; next, a sputtering process is used to form a second conductive film on the side of the first conductive layer 3231 away from the substrate 101; the second conductive film is patterned to form the second conductive layer 3232 included in the second gate layer 323 of the second transistor.
The patterning process mainly includes processes of photoresist coating, exposure, development, etching, and photoresist stripping.
After a plurality of photosensitive units 31, a signal reading circuit 32 and an amplifying circuit 40 are formed on a substrate 101, at least one layer of organic insulating film is sequentially formed on one side of a photoelectric sensor, which is far away from the substrate 101, by a coating process and the like, the organic insulating film is dried and cured, then the organic insulating film is exposed by a mask plate, and after exposure, development is performed, so that a stress protection layer is formed.
The stress protection layer includes first stress protection structures 61 corresponding to the light sensing units 31 one by one, and each first stress protection structure 61
