TFT-LCD is widely used in fields such as notebook computer, personal digital assistant, mobile unit, portable terminal at present, it realizes that principle is to utilize TFT to control voltage between upper/lower electrode, thereby make the rotation of liquid crystal generation different angles, change the permeability of light.High-quality TFT-LCD require picture evenly, do not have and harass, if the Ioff of TFT is too high, will influence the switching characteristic of TFT, and and then cause TFT-LCD occur showing uneven, demonstration class defective such as turn white, harass.Therefore, the leakage current that how effectively to reduce TFT becomes needs a major issue overcoming in the TFT-LCD manufacture process.
The preparation flow of traditional TFT-LCD mainly comprises tft array processing procedure, the upright processing procedure of group and module group procedure.Tft array processing procedure wherein mainly is to form the TFT layer on glass substrate, obtains TFT glass substrate (or being called the tft array plate), also is that the preparation of TFT is mainly finished in the array processing procedure.For back of the body channel-etch type TFT, its corresponding array processing procedure mainly comprises:
Substrate is provided, and described substrate has channel region, is coated with protective layer on the described channel region;
In described substrate, form conducting layer figure.
Because in traditional preparation process, inevitably have the conducting particles diffusion of partially conductive layer or be injected in the protective layer of channel region top.Above-mentioned conducting particles forms " floating boom " structure in protective layer, and then causes TFT when adding the gate source voltage of negative sense, and more conducting particles is assembled at its protective layer and channel interface place, and then causes leakage current (Ioff) to increase.
The embodiment of the invention has promptly proposed the LCD preparation method at the deficiency that exists in the above-mentioned processing procedure, this method comprises at least: array processing procedure, the upright processing procedure of group and module group procedure, wherein, the upright processing procedure of group, mainly be the preparation of finishing liquid crystal panel, for example, can utilize two TFT glass substrates and other components to be combined into the sky liquid crystal panel earlier, in this sky liquid crystal panel, pour into liquid crystal then, and processing such as after perfusion is finished, seal and obtain liquid crystal panel; As for module group procedure, then mainly be liquid crystal panel to be installed additional a series of controls or power circuits such as DRIVE IC.Signal just can send smoothly after energising like this, with the image on the control LCD display.
