Description
本公开涉及一种阵列基板及其制备方法、显示面板。
液晶显示器(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)具有体积小、功耗低、无辐射等特点,近年来得到迅速发展。LCD的主体结构包括对盒(CELL)的薄膜晶体管阵列(Thin Film Transistor,TFT)基板和彩膜(Color Filter,CF)基板,液晶(Liquid Crystal,LC)分子填充在阵列基板和彩膜基板之间,通过控制公共电极和像素电极来形成驱动液晶偏转的电场,实现灰阶显示。按照显示模式,LCD可以分为:扭曲向列(Twisted Nematic,TN)显示模式、平面转换(In Plane Switching,IPS)显示模式和高级超维场转换(Advanced Super Dimension Switch,ADS)显示模式等。其中,ADS显示模式已成为比较成熟的显示模式,具有广视角、高开口率、高穿透率、高分辨率、响应速度快、低功耗、低色差等优点。
近年来,在ADS显示模式基础上,现有技术提出了IADS(Interchange Advanced Super Dimension Switch)显示模式。研究表明,当采用双栅像素架构时,IADS模式可提升光效,从而提升像素透过率。而双栅像素架构可减小源驱动集成电路IC的数量,降低成本。因而,IADS显示模式逐渐得到广泛应用。

经本申请发明人研究发现,一种IADS显示模式的显示面板存在开口率较小和良品率较低的缺陷。
下面结合附图和实施例对本公开的具体实施方式作进一步详细描述。以下实施例用于说明本公开,但不用来限制本公开的范围。需要说明的是,在 不冲突的情况下,本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互任意组合。
图1为一种ADS显示模式阵列基板的结构示意图,图2为图1中A-A向的剖面图。图示ADS显示模式的阵列基板的结构特点是,公共电极设置在基底上,为板状电极,像素电极设置在钝化层上,为狭缝电极,阵列基板的膜层结构包括:基底,公共电极,栅线、栅电极和公共电极引线,栅绝缘层(GI),有源层(Active)、源电极、漏电极和数据线,钝化层(PVX),像素电极。栅线施加开启电压时,数据线的数据信号通过薄膜晶体管写入到漏电极,经单孔转接到像素电极,完成信号写入。如图1和图2所示,阵列基板包括基底10,设置在基底上的公共电极20、栅线30和栅电极11,覆盖公共电极20、栅线30和栅电极11的栅绝缘层12,设置在栅绝缘层12上的有源层13、源电极14、漏电极15和数据线40,源电极14与漏电极15之间形成导电沟道,覆盖源电极14、漏电极15、数据线40和导电沟道的钝化层16,其上开设有暴露出漏电极15的过孔,设置在钝化层16上的像素电极50,像素电极50通过钝化层16上的过孔与漏电极15连接。其中,公共电极20用于提供公共电压,像素电极50用于提供显示用像素电压,狭缝电极与板状电极之间产生的多维电场驱动液晶偏转。
图3为一种IADS显示模式阵列基板的结构示意图,图4为图3中A-A向的剖面图。这种IADS显示模式是在ADS显示模式基础上,将公共电极和像素电极的位置互换,阵列基板的结构特点是,像素电极设置在基底上,为板状电极,公共电极设置在钝化层上,为狭缝电极,阵列基板的膜层结构包括:基底,像素电极,栅线和栅电极,栅绝缘层,有源层、源电极、漏电极、数据线和公共电极引线,钝化层,公共电极和连接电极。栅线施加开启电压时,数据线的数据信号通过薄膜晶体管写入到漏电极,经双孔转接到像素电极,完成信号写入。如图3和4所示,阵列基板包括基底10,设置在基底上的像素电极50、栅线30和栅电极11,覆盖像素电极50、栅线30和栅电极11的栅绝缘层12,设置在栅绝缘层12上的有源层13、源电极14、漏电极15和数据线40,源电极14与漏电极15之间形成导电沟道,覆盖源电极14、漏电极15、数据线40和导电沟道的钝化层16,其上开设有暴露出漏电极15的第一过孔和暴露出像素电极50的第二过孔,设置在钝化层16上的公共电极20和连接电极60,连接电极60一方面通过第一过孔与漏电极15连接,另一方面通过第二过孔与像素电极50连接,即像素电极50与漏电极15之间 通过双孔结构实现连接。
经本申请发明人研究发现,以上IADS显示模式的显示面板存在开口率较小和良品率较低的原因,很大程度是由双孔结构造成的。具体地,过孔尺寸、形状和数量对开口率和良品率影响较大,对于高分辨产品,影响更加重要,相对于ADS显示模式的单孔结构,IADS显示模式的双孔结构需要较大的结构空间,相应减小了像素电极的面积,因而IADS显示模式显示面板的开口率较小。虽然可以通过调整信号线宽度来尽量增加像素电极的面积,但该方式会严重影响像素电极的充电率。同时,因显示区域像素电极的数量成百上千万,大屏幕产品更是有上亿个像素电极,相对于ADS显示模式的单孔结构,IADS显示模式的过孔数量翻倍,影响了取向膜(PI)扩散均一性,在取向膜不均一的位置,显示面板宏观上会表现出类似于污渍的斑点(Mura),业内称之为面板污点(Panel Stain)或者面板污渍,影响产品品质,降低良品率。
为此,本公开实施例提供了一种阵列基板,能够提升开口率以及良品率。本公开实施例阵列基板包括基底,设置在所述基底上的像素电极和薄膜晶体管,覆盖所述薄膜晶体管和薄膜晶体管的钝化层,所述钝化层上开设有同时暴露出像素电极和薄膜晶体管的漏电极或源电极的转接过孔,设置在所述钝化层上且在所述连接过孔处的连接电极,所述连接电极通过所述转接过孔同时与像素电极和漏电极连接。
下面通过具体实施例详细说明本公开实施例的技术方案。

下面通过本实施例阵列基板的制备过程进一步说明本实施例的技术方案。本实施例中所说的“构图工艺”包括沉积膜层、涂覆光刻胶、掩模曝光、显影、刻蚀、剥离光刻胶等处理,是相关技术中成熟的制备工艺。沉积可采用溅射、蒸镀、化学气相沉积等已知工艺,涂覆可采用已知的涂覆工艺,刻蚀可采用已知的方法,在此不做具体的限定。在本实施例的描述中,需要理解的是,“薄膜”是指将某一种材料在基底上利用沉积或其它工艺制作出的一层薄膜。若在整个制作过程当中该“薄膜”无需构图工艺,则该“薄膜”还可以称为“层”。若在整个制作过程当中该“薄膜”还需构图工艺,则在构图工艺前称为“薄膜”,构图工艺后称为“层”。经过构图工艺后的“层”中包含至少一个“图案”。

第三次构图工艺中,形成转接过孔图案。形成转接过孔图案包括:在形成有前述图案的基底上沉积钝化薄膜,在钝化薄膜上涂覆一层光刻胶,采用单色调掩膜版对光刻胶进行曝光并显影,在转接过孔位置形成曝光区域,无光刻胶,在其它位置形成未曝光区域,保留光刻胶。通过刻蚀工艺对完全曝光区域进行刻蚀,刻蚀掉该区域的钝化薄膜和栅绝缘层,形成开设有一个转接过孔的钝化层16图案,转接过孔同时暴露出漏电极15和像素电极50,如图11和图12所示,图12为图11中A-A向的剖面图。本实施例中,转接过孔由两个半孔组成,第一过孔部分K1内的钝化薄膜被刻蚀掉,暴露出漏电极15,第二过孔部分K2内的钝化薄膜和栅绝缘层被刻蚀掉,暴露出像素电极50,使得两个半孔组成的转接过孔同时暴露出漏电极15和像素电极50。 其中,钝化薄膜可以采用氮化硅SiNx、氧化硅SiOx或氮氧化硅Si(ON)x,可以为单层、双层或者多层结构,采用化学气相沉积(CVD)方式或等离子体增强化学气相沉积(PECVD)方式沉积。

虽然前面以四次构图工艺为例,说明了本实施例阵列基板的制备过程,但实际实施时,本实施例阵列基板也可以通过其它方法制备。例如,像素电极、栅线和栅电极图案可以采用二次构图工艺完成,先通过一次构图工艺形成像素电极图案,然后通过另一次构图工艺形成栅线和栅电极图案。又如,有源层、源电极、漏电极和数据线图案也可以采用二次构图工艺完成,先通过一次构图工艺形成栅绝缘层和有源层图案,然后通过另一次构图工艺形成源电极、漏电极和数据线图案。此外,前述第一次、第二次构图工艺中,采用半色调或灰色调掩膜版进行阶梯曝光、二次刻蚀以及灰化工艺等,是本领域常用的处理工艺,这里不再赘述。阵列基板还可以包括其他膜层,如公共电极引线或平坦层等,本领域技术人员能够根据公知常识以及现有技术获知,这里不作具体限定。
通过本实施例阵列基板的制备过程可以看出,本实施例阵列基板为单孔结构,利用一个转接过孔实现了漏电极与像素电极之间的连接。相对于现有结构的双孔设计,本实施例有效减少了过孔数量,由于单孔结构仅占用较小的结构空间,相应增加了像素电极的面积,增加了显示面板的开口率。同时,本实施例单孔结构保证了取向膜扩散均一性,不易产生面板污渍,消除了导 致显示缺陷的因素,提高了产品品质,提高了良品率。进一步地,本实施例制备阵列基板的构图次数与现有制备方式的构图次数相同,且工艺流程与现有制备工艺流程相同,因此本实施例的实施不需要改变现有工艺流程,不需改变现有工艺设备,工艺兼容性好,实用性强,具有良好的应用前景。
第二实施例
图13为本公开实施例转接过孔的结构示意图。如图13所示,转接过孔实际上由一半第一过孔部分(搭接漏电极15)和一半第二过孔部分(搭接像素电极50)组成,也称之为半过孔(Half Via)设计。由于有源层与源电极/漏电极是采用一张半色调或灰色调掩膜版通过一次构图工艺形成,因此在漏电极15下方存在半导体薄膜,且半导体薄膜的线宽CD大于漏电极15的线宽CD,即存在有源层凸部131。出现有源层凸部131是由于金属薄膜采用湿刻方式,半导体薄膜则采用干刻方式,因而不能保证两者的端部平齐,造成凸出的有源层凸部131。同时,在刻蚀转接过孔的一半第二过孔部分(具有较深深度的深孔)时,另一半第一过孔部分(具有较浅深度的浅孔)跨接边缘下方的栅绝缘层12也会受损内缩,形成栅绝缘层凹进端面121,因而会在第二过孔部分、第一过孔部分转接处(椭圆形虚线框所在区域)形成断面。考虑到界面不平和应力效应等因素,如断面处豁口较大,在形成连接电极60后,第二过孔部分、第一过孔部分转接处形成的断面会导致连接电极60在跨接处断裂或电阻加大。一旦连接失效或电阻加大,会导致信号写入异常,出现像素亮暗点,影响产品良率和产品品质。
为此,本实施例提供了一种带有补偿块的连接电极。图14为本公开阵列基板第二实施例的结构示意图。本实施例是前述第一实施例的一种扩展,本实施例阵列基板的主体结构与前述第一实施例相同,与前述第一实施例不同的是,本实施例连接电极还设置有第一补偿块,第一补偿块用于提高连接电极的连接可靠性。如图14所示,本实施例第一补偿块60A设置在连接电极60邻近栅线30的一侧,第一补偿块60A在基底10上的正投影包含漏电极15邻近栅线30一侧的边缘在基底10上的正投影的至少一部分,在平行于栅线30(垂直于数据线40)方向,第一补偿块60A在基底上的正投影覆盖漏电极15与像素电极50之间重叠区域在靠近所述栅线一侧的边界在基底10上的正投影,这样包括第一补偿块60A的连接电极在基底10上的正投影覆盖漏电极15与像素电极50之间重叠区域在靠近栅线一侧的边界在基底10上的 正投影。这样,包含第一补偿块60A的连接电极60不仅覆盖了第二过孔部分(具有较深深度的深孔)、第一过孔部分(具有较浅深度的浅孔)转接区域的断面,而且覆盖了断面之外的区域,增加了覆盖宽度,保证了工艺余量(Margin),即使连接电极60在跨接处断裂,覆盖断面之外区域的第一补偿块60A不会断开,保证了连接电极的可靠连接,可完全避免像素亮暗点不良。
例如,所述第一补偿块从所述连接电极的主体朝向所述栅线延伸,所述第二补偿块从所述连接电极的主体向远离所述栅线的方向延伸,所述第一补偿块和所述第二补偿块在平行于所述栅线方向上的尺寸小于所述主体的尺寸,或者所述第一补偿块和所述第二补偿块在平行于所述栅线方向上的尺寸等于或大于所述主体的尺寸。
实际实施时,在平行于基底平面,第一补偿块的形状可以是矩形、梯形、半圆形或半椭圆形等形状。
在平行于基底的平面中,连接过孔的形状可以是矩形、边缘修圆的矩形、椭圆形、圆形等形状,本公开的实施例并不对此进行限制。
本实施例不仅具有前述第一实施例的技术效果,即增加了开口率和提高了良品率,而且通过补偿设计可保证连接电极的连接可靠性,确保信号正常写入,避免了像素亮暗点不良,保证了产品良率和产品品质。
第三实施例
图15为本公开阵列基板第三实施例的结构示意图。本实施例是前述第一实施例的一种扩展,本实施例阵列基板的主体结构与前述第一实施例相同,与前述第一实施例不同的是,本实施例连接电极还设置有第一补偿块和第二补偿块。如图15所示,本实施例第一补偿块60A设置在连接电极60邻近栅线30的一侧,第二补偿块60B设置在连接电极60远离栅线30的一侧,即连接电极60的两侧均设置有补偿块。第一补偿块60A的结构与前述第二实施例相同,这里不再赘述。第二补偿块60B在基底10上的正投影包含漏电极15远离栅线30一侧的边缘在基底10上的正投影的一部分,在平行于栅线30(垂直于数据线40)方向,第二补偿块60B在基底10上的正投影覆盖漏电极15与像素电极50之间重叠区域在远离所述栅线一侧的边界在基底10上的正投影,这样,包括第二补偿块60B和第一补偿块60A的连接电极在基底上的正投影覆盖漏电极15与像素电极50之间重叠区域在基底10上的正投影。这样,包含第一补偿块60A和第二补偿块60B的连接电极60不仅覆盖了第 二过孔部分(具有较深的深度的深孔)、第一过孔部分(具有较浅深度的浅孔)转接区域的断面,而且覆盖了断面之外的区域,增加了覆盖宽度,保证了工艺余量,最大限度地保证了连接电极的可靠连接,可完全避免像素亮暗点不良。本实施例中,在平行于基底平面,第一补偿块和第二补偿块的形状可以是矩形、梯形、半圆形或半椭圆形等形状。实际实施时,也可以根据布局需要,仅设置第二补偿块。
例如,所述第一补偿块从所述连接电极的主体朝向所述栅线延伸,所述第二补偿块从所述连接电极的主体向远离所述栅线的方向延伸,所述第一补偿块和所述第二补偿块在平行于所述栅线方向上的尺寸小于所述主体的尺寸,或者所述第一补偿块和所述第二补偿块在平行于所述栅线方向上的尺寸等于或大于所述主体的尺寸。
本实施例不仅具有前述第一实施例的技术效果,即增加了开口率和提高了良品率,而且通过补偿设计可保证连接电极的连接可靠性,确保信号正常写入,避免了像素亮暗点不良,保证了产品良率和产品品质。
