In addition, in photoelectric sensor of the present invention in the manufacturing method of pixel unit, while thin film transistor (TFT) is formed, The cathode and light absorbing layer of lateral photoelectric sensor are formd, the manufacturing method of thin film transistor (TFT) only has more compared with the prior art The second doping semiconductor layer and the second electrode lay as lateral photodiode anode are formed, with the prior art Amorphous silicon flat-panel detectors compare, without carrying out being formed the step of independent photodiode again after thin film transistor (TFT) is formed Suddenly, production cost is effectively reduced.
Further, photoelectric sensor of the present invention can include:The 4th be formed on the corresponding dielectric layer in first area leads Electric structure, the 4th conductive structure is used to form storage capacitance with second conductive structure, to improve the second conductive structure Store the ability of charge.Photoelectric sensor of the present invention can include:Positioned at the light shield layer of second area substrate surface, for blocking Incident light, avoids the interference to light absorbing layer below substrate.
Further, photoelectric sensor of the present invention can include:The backlight being set to below substrate, the backlight are sent out Light by a thang-kng arrangement projects to above pixel unit, the photodiode is anti-by finger for detecting the light The light penetrated, to carry out fingerprint recognition.Using backlight as light source so that need not add lens above photoelectric sensor, make light Electric transducer is whole more frivolous, and enters the light of photoelectric sensor substantially along straight line, the area of each pixel unit with The area ratio for the body surface that pixel unit is detected is 1:1, light uniformity is preferable, can preferably avoid external environment Influence of the light to photoelectric sensor.
Further, the pixel unit of photoelectric sensor of the present invention can be in back-shaped structure:Third in the opening is conductive Structure is the rectangle of closing, and third conductive structure bottom in said opening has third light hole, the third light hole Expose thang-kng structure, the electromigration layer and first electrode layer surround the frame-type of closing centered on the opening so that second Conductive structure, third conductive structure are in back-shaped structure.It is only capable of from the light of substrate direction incidence from the central area of back-shaped structure Incidence, the light of other positions can be stopped by first electrode layer, the second electrode lay and cannot be irradiated to body surface and lateral light On electric diode, since the first light hole, the second light hole, third light hole are located at the center of back-shaped structure, relative to other Structure, the incident ray across back-shaped structure is more concentrated, in the case where pixel unit occupied area is constant, incident ray Angle smaller, when incident ray reflects on the surface of object, reflection angle is constrained by film thickness and incidence angle, can only be reflected Onto its corresponding pixel, it is not easy to other pixels are scattered to, so as to improve the precision of photoelectric sensor.

The electricity of the second doping semiconductor layer 107A on 106 surface of dielectric layer on first area substrate 100 and second Pole layer 108A forms the 4th conductive structure 304, and the 4th conductive structure 304 can play interception, prevent other pixels Light above unit enters this pixel unit and brings interference, and the light above his pixel unit is prevented to be irradiated to first and is led The raceway groove of intrinsic semiconductor layer 103, i.e. thin film transistor (TFT) between electric structure 301, the second conductive structure 302.In the present embodiment In, the second electrode lay 108A in the 4th conductive structure 304 and the second electrode lay in the third conductive structure 303 108B is electrically connected, and the current potential of the second electrode lay 108A in the 4th conductive structure 304 and the third in this way is conductive The current potential of the second electrode lay 108B in structure 303 is identical, is fixed negative potential, such 4th conductive structure 304 and Two conductive structures 302 form storage capacitance, are conducive to the holding of the negative electrical charge of the accumulation of lateral photodiode cathode.This Outside, in the present embodiment, light shield layer 101B also accesses external voltage, and the external voltage of light shield layer 101B is in the range of 0V to -10V It is interior, so as to form another storage capacitance with the second conductive structure 302, further improve the tired of lateral photodiode cathode The holding effect of accumulated charge.In other embodiments, light shield layer 101B can also be connected with grid, i.e., light shield layer 101B's is external Voltage is identical with grid, can also play the role of with the second conductive structure 302 form storage capacitance, and light shield layer 101B also with Grid, which is connected, enables to 103 lower section of intrinsic semiconductor layer to be blocked completely, and the light below substrate is utmostly avoided to enter Intrinsic semiconductor layer 103.
It should be noted that in other embodiments, the 4th conductive structure 304 can also be not provided with, but other are set The structure of storage capacitance, the invention is not limited in this regard can be formed with the second conductive structure 302.
It should be noted that for succinct signal in Fig. 2, the ruler of the second conductive structure 302 and the first conductive structure 301 It is very little close, actually since the second conductive structure 302 also serves as the cathode of photodiode, with the second electrode lay 108, light shield layer 101B forms storage capacitance to store negative electrical charge, and to make storage capacitance larger to improve magnitude of the stored charge, optionally, second is conductive The area of structure 302 is more than the area of the first conductive structure 301.
With reference to figure 2, the operation principle of the pixel unit of photoelectric sensor of the present invention is as follows:The third conductive structure 303 In the second electrode lay 108 access fixed negative voltage, the first electrode layer 105 in first conductive structure 301 accesses just Voltage or no-voltage, when the grid 101A accesses of thin film transistor (TFT) are more than the scanning voltage of threshold voltage, thin film transistor (TFT) is beaten It opens, the charge of the second electrode lay 105A in the first conductive structure 301 is transferred to the second electrode lay in the second conductive structure 302 In 105B, the basic voltage is more than the signal voltage, is loaded with negative bias in lateral photodiode in this way.Come Pass through the first light hole 201, the second light hole 202 to second insulating layer from the light (as shown in phantom in Figure 2) below substrate 109 upper surfaces, object 110 (such as finger) surface above pixel unit are reflected, and the light of reflection, which is injected, is located at institute It states in the intrinsic semiconductor 103 between opening 203 and second conductive structure 302, negative electrical charge is constantly in the second conductive structure It is accumulated in the first doping semiconductor layer 104B in 302, second doping semiconductor layer of the hole constantly in the opening 203 It is accumulated in 107B.
Since the second conductive structure 302 also serves as the drain electrode structure of thin film transistor (TFT), (the grid when thin film transistor (TFT) is opened Pole 101A accesses scanning voltage), (second is conductive for source configuration (the first conductive structure 301) and the drain electrode structure of thin film transistor (TFT) Structure 302) it connects, the negative electrical charge accumulated in the second conductive structure 302 enters the first conductive structure 301, Jin Ertong by raceway groove It crosses the first conductive structure 301 to export, since light intensity can influence the first doping semiconductor layer in the second conductive structure 302 The quantity of electric charge accumulated in 104B, so as to influence the output current of the source configuration of thin film transistor (TFT) when thin film transistor (TFT) is opened, when When thin film transistor (TFT) is opened, the charge of drain electrode structure accumulation empties, while by the first electrode layer in the first conductive structure 301 The basic voltage of 105A is transferred to the second electrode lay 105B in the second conductive structure 302 so that in the second conductive structure 302 The second electrode lay 105B restores zero potential or positive potential, and when thin film transistor (TFT) is closed, negative electrical charge is again constantly in the second conduction It is accumulated in the first doping semiconductor layer 104B in structure 302.It can by the output current of the source configuration of thin film transistor (TFT) Reflect the light intensity that transverse diode receives, complete conversion of the optical signal to electric signal, and it is defeated to pass through thin film transistor (TFT) in this way Go out, and the rough surface of finger print is different to the reflected intensity of light, the light intensity for detecting lateral photodiode Difference, correspondingly, the electric signal of thin film transistor (TFT) output are also different, and then realize fingerprint recognition.
It should be noted that the light shield layer 101B by the opening 203 and second between conductive structure 302 intrinsic half Conductor layer 102 is blocked completely, and the intrinsic semiconductor layer 102 for 203 lower sections that are open also is blocked completely, to ensure to inject below substrate Light will not enter intrinsic semiconductor layer 103.By in this present embodiment, light shield layer 101B is removed in 102 lower section of intrinsic semiconductor layer It is not provided with other film layers that can be shut out the light outside, therefore, light shield layer 101B needs as possible that 103 lower section of intrinsic semiconductor layer is complete It blocks entirely, to improve detection accuracy.In other embodiments, below light shield layer 101B or light shield layer 101B and intrinsic semiconductor Other light-shielding structures can also be set between layer 103, further to strengthen shaded effect.The photoelectric sensor of the present invention includes Multiple above-mentioned pixel units, the multiple pixel unit are arranged in array-like.
Photoelectric sensor of the present invention further includes:Protective layer (not shown) above the multiple pixel unit, it is described Protective layer is made of translucent material.Setting protective layer is advantageous in that, it is possible to reduce the damage of outer bound pair photodiode.
The present embodiment photoelectric sensor, which further includes, is set to backlight (not shown) below substrate, what the backlight was sent out Light passes through the thang-kng arrangement projects in pixel unit to pixel unit top.I.e. the present embodiment photoelectric sensor has what is carried Light source, light source are located at the lower section of photoelectric sensor.The light source that the prior art is mostly used in the sensor of fingerprint recognition carrys out autobiography Above sensor, to ensure that the light that light source is sent out can enter in the pixel unit under finger covering, lead to above pixel unit It is standing to have lens or prism, but the thickness of lens or prism is larger, and lens can be bent incident ray, each pixel list The area of member is different from the area for the body surface that pixel unit is detected, and the light uniformity into sensor is poor, is also easy to It is influenced by external ambient light.And light source is located at the lower section of photoelectric sensor in the present embodiment, so on the photosensor Fang Wuxu lens make photoelectric sensor whole more frivolous, and enter the light of photoelectric sensor substantially along straight line, each picture The area of plain unit is 1 with the area ratio of body surface that pixel unit is detected:1, light uniformity is preferable, can be more preferable Ground avoids influence of the external environmental light to photoelectric sensor.
It should be noted that it is used to form the embodiment of photoelectric sensor and LCD panel simultaneously for same substrate, due to Current LCD is substantially all using transmissive display, and backlight is equipped with below array substrate, and backlight generally uses LED formulas Or cold-cathode fluorescent tubular type, therefore optical sensor of the present invention can also be using the back of the body of the backlight of LCD as photoelectric sensor Tabula rasa.So as to improve the integrated level of photoelectric sensor of the present invention.
To sum up, photoelectric sensor of the present invention can be used for fingerprint recognition, when finger is placed on the upper of photoelectric sensor of the present invention Surface, the light projected from 100 direction of substrate are irradiated to finger surface and form reflection.The light of reflection is by lateral two pole of photoelectricity Pipe absorption is converted into electric signal.Uneven due to fingerprint, the signal of raised position reflection is strong, the region reflection of recess Signal is weak, so as to make the signal strength that optical sensor exports different.
The vertical stratification of photodiode in device is surveyed relative to prior art amorphous silicon flat panel, in photoelectric sensor of the present invention Photodiode using transversary, cathode construction, the anode construction of lateral photodiode are located at respectively intrinsic partly leads Different location on body layer, the intrinsic semiconductor layer between cathode construction, anode construction serve as light absorbing layer so that lateral light The thickness of electric diode is smaller, and the vertical stratification of the photodiode in existing Amorphous silicon flat-panel detectors is located at film The top of film layer where source-drain electrode in transistor, and in the lateral photodiode of photoelectric sensor of the present invention, due to described The anode construction of lateral photodiode is located in the opening 203, and intrinsic semiconductor layer 103 is respectively positioned on cathode construction On, so the anode construction of the lateral photodiode is set with cathode construction using lateral, just correspond in film crystalline substance The thickness of the second doping semiconductor layer 107, the second electrode lay 108 and dielectric layer 106 has been superimposed above the source-drain electrode of body pipe, this Three layers of film thickness is about 200 nanometers, and far smaller than (about 1 is micro- for the height of the vertical stratification of the photodiode in flat panel detector Rice) so that the thickness of lateral photodiode is smaller, and under the incident light of similary angle, incident light is in pixel unit Light path is shorter so that pixel unit is high to the binding character of light, does not allow to be also easy to produce interference between adjacent pixel unit, be beneficial to Improve the resolution ratio of photoelectric sensor.And the upper surface of the light absorbing layer of intrinsic semiconductor layer can directly be shone by light It penetrates, is beneficial to the charge accumulation of lateral photodiode.
In addition, the second conductive structure 302 is used as the drain electrode structure of the thin film transistor (TFT), lateral two pole of photoelectricity is also served as The cathode construction of pipe, i.e., lateral photodiode stored charge directly on the drain electrode structure of thin film transistor (TFT), and with thin Film transistor unlatching exports signal, and in the present embodiment, 203 bottom margins of the opening are leaned on the second conductive structure 302 The interval S at 203 edges of nearly opening is mutual with photodiode relative to prior art TFT in the range of 1 to 5 microns Mutually independent structure, thin film transistor (TFT) of the invention and lateral photodiode distance closer to saving pixel unit in this way Shared area so that the smaller that pixel unit can make, and then independent identification is carried out to the finger areas of more small area, Improve the resolution ratio of photoelectric sensor.
Further, the photodiode of photoelectric sensor of the present invention be transversary, will not be formed as longitudinal diode that The bigger lug boss of the height and the width of sample so that photoelectric sensor pixel unit of the present invention is relatively flat, therefore dielectric layer 106 thickness can be relatively thin, further improves the anti-interference between pixel unit, and the thickness of dielectric layer 106 reduces The storage capacitance that the 4th conductive structure 304 and the second conductive structure 302 above 100 first area of substrate are formed can be caused to increase Greatly, the magnitude of the stored charge of the first doping semiconductor layer 105B in the second conductive structure 302 can be improved.
