Description

阵列基板及其制备方法、液晶面板
技术领域
本发明涉及液晶显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种阵列基板及其制备方法,还涉及包含该阵列基板的液晶面板。
背景技术
液晶显示器(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD),为平面超薄的显示设备,液晶面板是液晶显示器的重要组成部分。常用的液晶面板至少包括相对设置的阵列基板(array substrate)和滤光基板(color filter substrate)以及位于阵列基板和滤光基板之间的液晶层。
阵列基板通常包括玻璃基板以及形成在所述玻璃基板上的多个像素结构。图1为现有的一种阵列基板的结构示意图,图中仅示例性的示出了其中的一个像素结构。如图1所示的,该像素结构1包括透光区域1a和非透光区域1b,其中非透光区域1b包括依次形成于玻璃基板2上的栅极3、栅极绝缘层4、有源层5、欧姆接触层6、源极/漏极7a、7b和钝化层8;透光区域1a包括依次形成于玻璃基板2上的栅极绝缘层4、钝化层8和像素电极9,像素电极9延伸至非透光区域1b上,通过过孔8a与源极或漏极7a、7b电性连接。
在液晶显示装置中,背光源发出的光要依次经过偏光片、玻璃基板、液晶层、彩色滤光片等等的吸收和折射,最终的透光率一般在6%左右,增加光线的透过率是提高背光源利用率的有效途径。在如上结构的阵列基板中,如图1所示的,在像素结构1的透光区域1a中,像素电极9与玻璃基板2之间还包括栅极绝缘层4和钝化层9。在阵列基板中,栅极绝缘层4和钝化层9只要是为了间隔非透光区域1b中不同层别的金属层,但是对于透光区域1a中的像素电极9与玻璃基板2,栅极绝缘层4和钝化层9却是多余的,还会因吸收和折射导致损失部分光,从而降低了光线的透过率,降低了背光源的利用率。

S30、在经过步骤S20之后的玻璃基板20上制备钝化层薄膜80b,其中所述钝化层薄膜80b覆盖所述像素结构10的透光区域10a和非透光区域10b,如图3f所示。
S40、通过刻蚀工艺在所述钝化层薄膜80b上制备一过孔80a,以暴露出用于与像素电极90电性相连的源极70a或漏极70b;同时,还将所述透光区域10a的栅极绝缘层薄膜40a和钝化层薄膜80b刻蚀去除,使所述透光区域10a暴露出所述玻璃基板20,获得最终的栅极绝缘层40和钝化层80。具体地,首先在所述钝化层薄膜80b上涂覆光刻胶,并通过对光刻胶的曝光、显影,在过孔80a区域和透光区域10a暴露出所述钝化层薄膜80b;然后通过刻蚀工艺在所述过孔区80a域刻蚀去除所述钝化层薄膜80b,获得所述过孔80a;在所述透光区域10a刻蚀去除所述钝化层薄膜80b和栅极绝缘层薄膜40a,暴露出所述玻璃基板20,如图3g所示。
S50、在经过步骤S40之后的玻璃基板20上制备像素电极90,其中所述像素电极90在所述透光区域10a内直接连接于所述玻璃基板20上,并且所述像素电极90通过所述过孔80a与所述源极70a或漏极70b电性连接,如图3h所示。
如上的制备工艺中,在步骤S40时通过一次MASK工艺,在制备过孔的同时将覆盖于所述透光区域的栅极绝缘层薄膜和钝化层薄膜刻蚀去除,不需要额外增加工序,其工艺简单,易于实施,并且最终制备得到了具有更高透过率的阵列基板。
本实施例中还提供了一种液晶面板,如图4所示,该液晶面板包括相对设置的阵列基板100和滤光基板200以及位于所述阵列基板100和滤光基板200之间的液晶层300,其中,所述阵列基板100采用了本实施例中提供的阵列基板。
综上所述,本发明实施例提供的阵列基板以及液晶面板,通过对阵列基板中的像素结构进行改进,去除了透光区域中的栅极绝缘层和钝化层,使得透光区域中像素电极直接制备于玻璃基板上,从而提高了像素结构中透光区域的光线透过率,提高了背光源的利用率。
