Therefore, it is popular in the scientific researchers and industry to improve the picture quality and the service life of the liquid crystal display device.
A conventional liquid crystal display device may be composed of two oppositely disposed substrates on which field generating electrodes such as pixel electrodes and a common electrode are formed.

In general, a region of a substrate corresponding to a liquid crystal display device is divided into a display region and a non-display region according to whether or not an image can be displayed in the region. Generally, the color resist layer is only disposed in the display area of the substrate, and the color resist layer is not disposed in the non-display area, so that Ghost dots (Ghost mura) are easily generated at the edge of the color resist layer, that is, at the boundary between the display area and the non-display area, resulting in poor display and seriously affecting the picture quality and the yield of the liquid crystal display device.
Disclosure of Invention
To solve the above problems, the inventors have found that the design in which the non-display region does not have the color resist layer and the display region has the color resist layer results in a step at the boundary between the display region and the non-display region. In rubbing alignment, the step at the boundary of the display region and the non-display region is highly likely to generate accumulation of alignment film debris, thereby generating a peripheral Ghost spot (Ghost mura), resulting in poor display. In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide a display substrate, a manufacturing method thereof, a liquid crystal display panel and a liquid crystal display device, so as to avoid a phenomenon of poor display and improve picture quality and yield.

an alignment film over the planarization layer.
In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a liquid crystal display panel, including:
the liquid crystal display panel comprises a first substrate and a second substrate arranged opposite to the first substrate, wherein a liquid crystal layer is arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate, and the first substrate or the second substrate is any one of the substrates in the first aspect.
In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a liquid crystal display device, including the liquid crystal display panel of the second aspect.
In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a display substrate, including:
providing a substrate;
forming a color resistance layer over the substrate, the color resistance layer being disposed in the display region;
forming a planarization layer over the color resist layer and extending to a non-display region, wherein the planarization layer in the non-display region includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion of the planarization layer is located at a greater distance from the display region than the second portion of the planarization layer, and the first portion of the planarization layer has a thickness less than the second portion of the planarization layer;
an alignment film is formed over the planarization layer.
According to the invention, the thickness of the first part of the planarization layer, which is far away from the display area, is smaller than the thickness of the second part of the planarization layer, which is close to the display area, so that the first step is formed at the junction of the first part and the second part of the alignment film, and the first step can play a role in accumulating the alignment film scraps.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a display substrate, including: a substrate; the color resistance layer is arranged in the display area; and the planarization layer is positioned above the color resistance layer and extends to the non-display area, wherein the planarization layer positioned in the non-display area comprises a first part and a second part, the distance from the first part of the planarization layer to the display area is greater than that from the second part of the planarization layer to the display area, and the thickness of the first part of the planarization layer is smaller than that of the second part of the planarization layer. In addition, the liquid crystal display device further comprises an alignment film positioned above the planarization layer, and a first step is formed on the alignment film corresponding to the boundary of the first part and the second part.
In the embodiment of the invention, the color resistance layer of the display substrate is generally formed by combining a photoetching process and an evaporation process, and in addition, a flattening layer can be formed above the color resistance layer and in the non-display area by using a half-tone mask, so that the thickness of the first part of the flattening layer is smaller than that of the second part of the flattening layer.
In the invention, the thickness of the first part of the planarization layer is smaller than that of the second part of the planarization layer, so that a certain thickness difference can be formed at the boundary of the first part and the second part, and accordingly, the alignment film arranged above the planarization layer forms a first step at the boundary of the first part and the second part. The alignment layer generates debris during the rubbing process, and the first step can have the effect of accumulating the debris of the alignment layer.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the second portion of the planarization layer may be larger than the thickness of the planarization layer above the color resist layer, and a certain thickness difference may be provided at the boundary between the second portion and the display region, and compared to the prior art in which the thickness of the second portion of the planarization layer is equal to the thickness of the planarization layer above the color resist layer, the height difference of the planarization layer at the boundary between the display region and the non-display region due to the provision of the color resist layer is eliminated as much as possible. The fragments of the alignment film generated in the rubbing process are mostly accumulated on the first step, and a small amount of fragments of the alignment film are further accumulated on the second step, so that the accumulation at the boundary between the display region and the non-display region can be reduced compared with the prior art in which the fragments of the alignment film are all accumulated on the second step. In addition, the thickness of the second part of the planarization layer can be further controlled to enable the height of the second part of the planarization layer to be the same as the planarization height of the display area, so that a planar structure is formed, fragments of the alignment film can not be accumulated at the boundary of the display area and the non-display area, and the image quality and the yield of the liquid crystal display device can be improved in both the two cases.
The above is the basic scheme of the present invention, and the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiment of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without any creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1a is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a display substrate according to an embodiment of the invention.

On the basis of the above embodiment, optionally, the first step 5 is formed on the alignment film 4 corresponding to the boundary between the first portion 31 and the second portion 32. Specifically, the first step 5 is disposed in the non-display area B of the display substrate, and alignment film debris generated during rubbing alignment is accumulated at the first step 5, so that accumulation of alignment film debris at the boundary between the display area a and the non-display area B can be reduced or avoided, thereby avoiding occurrence of a peripheral Ghost mura, further preventing the alignment film debris from slipping to the display area a, forming protection for the display area a, and achieving an effect of improving the picture quality and the yield of the liquid crystal display device.

Optionally, the thickness h2 of the second portion 32 is 1.5 μm to 2 μm greater than the thickness h3 of the planarization layer 3 above the color resist layer 2. Considering that the thickness of the common color resist layer 2 is generally 1.5 μm to 2 μm, the thickness h2 of the second portion 32 can be 1.5 μm to 2 μm greater than the thickness h3 of the planarization layer 3 above the color resist layer 2, so as to minimize the height difference formed at the boundary between the display area a and the non-display area B of the alignment film 4 and reduce or avoid the accumulation of alignment film debris.
Alternatively, as described in the above embodiment, according to the thickness h2 of the second portion 32 of the planarization layer, the alignment film 4 may be a planar structure at the boundary between the planarization layer 3 located above the color resist layer 2 and the second portion 32, i.e., at the boundary between the display area a and the non-display area B, or may have a certain height difference, so as to form the second step 6, and the height difference of the second step 6 is reduced relative to the height difference of the step formed at the boundary between the display area a and the non-display area B in the prior art, so that the alignment film debris may be less accumulated, and in both cases, the picture quality and the yield of the liquid crystal display device may be improved. Wherein fig. 1a shows an embodiment having the second step 6, for an embodiment in which the alignment film has a planar structure at the boundary of the display region a and the non-display region B, see fig. 1B.
