As shown in Figure 4, the hierarchy of above-mentioned controlling grid scan line 220 and data scanning line 210 infalls: controlling grid scan line 220 is formed on the substrate 270, one deck is a gate insulation layer 280 on controlling grid scan line 220, above the gate insulation layer 280 is gas blanket 260, is exactly data scanning line 210 on the gas blanket 260.Generally speaking, at least also need to be provided with passivation layer 290, so that the tft array substrate of making is at last protected at data scanning line 210.
As shown in Figure 4, the hierarchy at above-mentioned thin film transistor (TFT) 250 places is: the grid 251 of thin film transistor (TFT) 250 is formed on the substrate 270, one deck is a gate insulation layer 280 on grid 251, above the gate insulation layer 280 is the active Thinfilm pattern that is formed by semiconductor layer 257a and doping semiconductor layer 257b, and is etched with raceway groove 254 on the doping semiconductor layer 257b; Being exactly gas blanket 256 on active Thinfilm pattern, is exactly source/ drain electrode 252 and 253 on gas blanket 256, and source electrode 252 253 can directly not contact with drain electrode, and source electrode 252 also connects together with above-mentioned data scanning line 210 simultaneously.
In order to protect above-mentioned thin film transistor (TFT) 250, data scanning line 210 and controlling grid scan line 220, the embodiment of the invention also need form the passivation layer 290 with contact hole 255 on the substrate of formation source/drain electrode, this contact hole 255 exposes the drain electrode 253 of above-mentioned thin film transistor (TFT) 250, specifically as shown in Figure 4; Also be formed with pixel electrode 230 in the embodiment of the invention on passivation layer 290, this pixel electrode 230 is connected to the drain electrode 253 of thin film transistor (TFT) 250 by contact hole 255.

The gas that is comprised in the gas blanket in the embodiment of the invention can adopt but not be defined as air.
Embodiment 2:
The embodiment of the invention also provides a kind of method of manufacturing array substrate, describes this manufacture method below with reference to Fig. 5 to Figure 10.
At first, as shown in Figure 5, deposition grid metal level on substrate 270.Subsequently, by mask composition technology described grid metal level etching is formed gate pattern, this gate pattern comprises controlling grid scan line 220 and grid 251, wherein, the controlling grid scan line 220 that grid 251 is adjacent be one and connect together.
Utilize deposition technique on substrate 270, to deposit grid insulating film 280 (see figure 6)s with gate pattern.And on grid insulating film 280, form semiconductor layer (material is an amorphous silicon) and doping semiconductor layer (material is the n+ amorphous silicon) successively; Semiconductor layer is wherein seen the 257a among the figure, and doping semiconductor layer is seen the 257b among the figure.
Then, as shown in Figure 6, semiconductor layer 257a and the doping semiconductor layer 257b that is formed on the grid insulating film carried out etching, to form the active Thinfilm pattern overlapping with grid 251 by mask composition technology.
Subsequently, as shown in Figure 7, the soluble material layer of deposition on substrate 270 with active Thinfilm pattern, by mask composition technology this soluble material layer is etched into the dissolving layer 258 overlapping with described active Thinfilm pattern then, and with controlling grid scan line 220 and the overlapping dissolving layer 261 of data scanning line 210 infalls.Dissolving layer 258 and 261 materials that adopted can be A-ITO (noncrystalline tin indium oxide in the present embodiment, Amorphous-Indium Tin Oxide), when practice, can also adopt other than source/fireballing material of leakage metal etch as the dissolving layer material, for example: indium zinc oxide (IZO, Indium Zincum Oxide) or zinc paste are as the material of dissolving layer.
Again subsequently, as shown in Figure 8, formation source/leakage metallic film on the substrate 270 that comprises active Thinfilm pattern and dissolving layer.Afterwards, by the mask composition technology source of etching/leakage pattern and etch away described dissolving layer, this source/leakage pattern comprises the source electrode 252 of the data scanning line 210 that intersects with controlling grid scan line 220, thin film transistor (TFT) 250 and drains 253; And the source electrode 252 of thin film transistor (TFT) 250 links to each other with data scanning line 210.
In general, when carrying out source/leakage pattern etch, because the rate of dissolution of the materials A-ITO of dissolving layer 258 and 261 is very fast, like this can be when carrying out source/leakage pattern etch, the A-ITO of all dissolving layers is etched away, so between the grid of thin film transistor (TFT) 250 and source/drain electrode, have gas blanket 256.Simultaneously, because controlling grid scan line 220 and data scanning line 210 infalls also have dissolving layer 261, in etching source/leakage pattern, also can between controlling grid scan line 220 and data scanning line 210, form gas blanket 260 so.And can be in the gas blanket 256 and 261 in the embodiment of the invention including but not limited to air.
