Description

Thin film transistor array substrate, method of manufacturing the same, and liquid crystal display device including the same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a thin film transistor, and more particularly, to a thin film transistor array substrate and a method of manufacturing the same.
Background
In general, a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) includes two panels on which electrodes are respectively disposed and a Liquid Crystal layer disposed between the two panels. The transmittance of light is controlled by adjusting the voltage between two electrodes, also referred to as the liquid crystal voltage. In a normally white mode (normallywite: NW), the transmittance of light is inversely proportional to the liquid crystal voltage, i.e., the greater the value of the liquid crystal voltage, the lower the transmittance of light; the smaller the liquid crystal voltage value, the higher the light transmittance.
Generally, the voltage applied to the liquid crystal is the voltage difference between the common electrode line and the pixel electrode, when the Thin Film Transistor (TFT) is turned off, the pixel electrode is not connected to any voltage source and is in a Floating state, and if there is any voltage variation around the pixel electrode, the voltage variation will be coupled to the pixel electrode through a parasitic capacitance or a pixel storage capacitance, resulting in a change in the pixel voltage, so that the actual voltage applied to the liquid crystal deviates from a predetermined value. The voltage variation across the LCD panel is mainly derived from three aspects: the pixel voltage is influenced most by the change of the grid voltage, the change of the source voltage and the change of the voltage of the common electrode wire. The value of this voltage change is referred to as the Feed-through voltage (hereinafter V)FDTo represent the feed-through voltage), more specifically, the calculation formula (1) of the feed-through voltage can be expressed as follows:
<math> <mrow> <msub> <mi>V</mi> <mi>FD</mi> </msub> <mo>=</mo> <mfrac> <msub> <mi>C</mi> <mi>GS</mi> </msub> <mrow> <msub> <mi>C</mi> <mi>GS</mi> </msub> <mo>+</mo> <msub> <mi>C</mi> <mi>LC</mi> </msub> <mo>+</mo> <msub> <mi>C</mi> <mi>ST</mi> </msub> </mrow> </mfrac> <mo>&times;</mo> <msub> <mi>&Delta;V</mi> <mi>G</mi> </msub> </mrow> </math>
wherein, CGSIs the capacitance between the gate and source of the TFT, CLCIs the capacitance value of liquid crystal, CSTStoring a capacitance value, Δ V, for a pixelGIs the difference between the gate voltages of the TFTs when turned on and off. Due to the feed-through voltage VFDIs the main factor for generating DC bias, so reducing the feed-through voltage VFDThe method can reduce the direct current bias voltage of the liquid crystal panel and improve the light transmittance so as to achieve better display effect.

In the prior art, in order to increase the pixel storage capacitance CSTThe dielectric constant of the gate insulating layer 104 of the liquid crystal panel is often set to be large, thereby causing the feed-through voltage VFDThe value increases. As can be seen from the foregoing, the effect of the feedthrough voltage on the pixel voltage is very large, and the display effect is worse as the liquid crystal voltage is larger and the light transmittance is lower. Thus, V is increasedFDAlthough the value can be increasedSTBut at the same time alsoThe dc bias applied to the liquid crystal is increased, resulting in a reduction in display effect.
