S26, as shown in fig. 3d, is the same as the manufacturing step S16 of the array substrate of the first embodiment, and will not be described in detail.
In the array substrate manufacturing method, the first conductive layer 180 and the second insulating layer 170 are etched at the same time, the fourth via 182 and the third via 172 may be formed on the first conductive layer 180 and the second insulating layer 170, respectively, and then the first conductive layer 180 is annealed. In the annealing process of the first conductive layer 180, the protective layer 160 is annealed for the second time, so that the gas in the protective layer can be fully released and discharged through the fourth via hole 182, thereby avoiding the gas in the protective layer 160 from entering the liquid crystal layer in the subsequent manufacturing process to cause liquid crystal bubbles, and improving the quality of the liquid crystal display device.
Third embodiment
The array substrate manufacturing steps S31 to S32 of the present embodiment are the same as the array substrate manufacturing steps S11 to S12 of the first embodiment, as shown in fig. 2a and 2b, and will not be described in detail. The present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that:
s33, as shown in fig. 4a, the protection layer 160 is formed on the first insulating layer 150, and the protection layer 160 is annealed. The protective layer 160 is made of a resin material, and is disposed between the second metal layer 140 and the first conductive layer to reduce capacitance therebetween, reducing loads of the data lines and the scan lines. The temperature at which the protective layer 160 is annealed is about 230 c for about 60 minutes.
S34, as shown in fig. 4b, forming a second insulating layer 170 on the protection layer 160, as shown in fig. 4c, exposing and etching the protection layer 160 and the second insulating layer 170, and forming a first via 162 and a third via 172 on the protection layer 160 and the second insulating layer 170, respectively. Specifically, the second insulating layer 170 is a film layer and is formed by a film formation method.
S35, as shown in fig. 4d, a first conductive layer 180 is formed on the second insulating layer 170, as shown in fig. 4e, and the first conductive layer 180 is exposed to light and developed, and the first conductive layer 180 is etched and annealed. For example, the first conductive layer 180 is an ITO layer, and may be made of an indium tin oxide material. Etching first conductive layer 180 may form fourth via 182 on first conductive layer 180. The temperature at which first conductive layer 180 is annealed is about 250 c for about 72 minutes.
S36, as shown in fig. 4f, compared with the step S16 of fabricating the array substrate of the first embodiment, the difference is that: before forming the second conductive layer 200, the first insulating layer 150 is etched to allow the second conductive layer 200 to pass through the first insulating layer, which is not described herein.
In the method for manufacturing the array substrate, the protective layer 160 and the second insulating layer 170 are exposed and etched to form the first via 162 and the third via 172, respectively. The first conductive layer 180 is then exposed and developed, etched to form a fourth via 182, and the first conductive layer 180 is annealed. Because the third via hole 172 is formed on the second insulating layer 170, and the protective layer 160 is annealed for the second time in the annealing process of the first conductive layer 180 after the third via hole 172 is formed, the gas in the protective layer can be fully released and discharged through the fourth via hole 182, thereby avoiding the liquid crystal bubbles caused by the gas in the protective layer 160 entering the liquid crystal layer in the subsequent manufacturing process, and improving the quality of the liquid crystal display device.
In this embodiment, since the first insulating layer 150 is not opened after the first conductive layer 180 is formed, the third conductive layer can be formed before the second conductive layer 200 is formed, in contrast, the third conductive layer cannot be formed in the first and second embodiments.
The array substrate manufacturing method of the fourth embodiment is used for manufacturing the array substrate shown in fig. 5a to 5c, and the array substrate is different from the array substrate implemented in the first embodiment in that: the second metal layer 140 includes a source electrode 142, a drain electrode 144, and a data line 146, which are spaced apart from each other, and the source electrode 142 and the drain electrode 144 are in contact with the semiconductor layer 130, respectively, to cover a portion of the semiconductor layer 130, in other words, a portion of the semiconductor layer 130 is exposed between the source electrode 142 and the drain electrode 144. In the present embodiment, the source 142 is connected to the data line 146, and the drain 144 is connected to the scan line 112, but not limited thereto. The array substrate is formed with a plurality of pixel units PX arranged in an array, each pixel unit PX is provided with a pixel electrode therein, the pixel electrode in each pixel unit PX is electrically connected to the corresponding drain 144 in the pixel unit PX through the contact hole 147, and the protective layer 160 does not cover the position where the pixel electrode in each pixel unit PX is electrically connected to the corresponding drain 144. An auxiliary electrode layer 161 is disposed between two pixel units PX in the same row, and the auxiliary electrode layer 161 is disposed on the protection layer 160 and contacts the first insulating layer 150 through the protection layer 160 to close the opening of the protection layer 160.
In the array substrate, the auxiliary conductive layer 161 covering the protective layer 160 is arranged at the position corresponding to the etched first conductive layer 180, so that the auxiliary conductive layer 161 and the first conductive layer 180 form a whole conductive layer, which can prevent the gas in the protective layer 160 from entering the liquid crystal through the second insulating layer 170, and the subsequent position where the second conductive layer 200 passes through each layer and is in conductive connection with the drain electrode 144 does not have the protective layer 160, thereby avoiding the gas in the protective layer 160 from entering the liquid crystal layer in the subsequent manufacturing process to cause liquid crystal bubbles, and improving the quality of the liquid crystal display device.

In the manufacturing method of the array substrate, the auxiliary conductive layer 161 covering the protective layer 160 is arranged at the position corresponding to the etched first conductive layer 180, so that the auxiliary conductive layer 161 and the first conductive layer 180 form a whole conductive layer, which can prevent the gas in the protective layer 160 from entering the liquid crystal through the second insulating layer 170, and the subsequent second conductive layer 200 does not have the protective layer 160 at the position where the second conductive layer passes through each layer and is in conductive connection with the drain electrode 144, thereby avoiding the gas in the protective layer 160 from entering the liquid crystal layer to cause liquid crystal bubbles in the subsequent manufacturing process and improving the quality of the liquid crystal display device.
