In addition, referring to fig. 1, an equivalent circuit diagram of a liquid crystal display device in the prior art is shown, in which Date signals, gate signals and Pixel electrodes form parasitic capacitances Cdp and Cgp, and signal crosstalk is generated to the Pixel electrodes when the Date and Gate signals jump, so as to affect the stability of the device. To ameliorate such problems, the present invention is illustrated by the following specific examples. The specific examples of the present invention are not limited to the examples listed below.

The material of the second insulating layer 50 is one of silicon dioxide or silicon nitride.
It should be explained that, the present invention uses Poly-Si (polysilicon layer 33) having conductivity after being heavily doped, and uses the Poly-Si layer as one electrode of the storage capacitor, and uses ITO (first common electrode 35 electrode) as common electrode above the heavily doped Poly-Si after the gate electrode 40 is heavily doped; a PV layer (second insulating layer 50) and an ITO (Metal) layer (second common electrode 60) are designed between the Metal layer and the organic planarization layer 38, the ITO (Metal) layer giving a common signal.
Wherein, heavily doped Poly-Si (polysilicon layer 33) and ITO (first common electrode 35) are used as upper and lower electrodes, and GI (first insulating layer 34) is used as a dielectric layer to form Cst1 (first storage capacitor); ITO (first common electrode 35) and drain electrode 372 form Cst2 (second storage capacitor), the medium is ILD (passivation layer 36); a PV layer (second insulating layer 50) and an ITO (Metal) layer (second common electrode 60) are designed between the Metal layer and the organic planarization layer 38, the ITO (Metal) layer gives a common signal, the Metal and the ITO (Metal) form Cst3 (third storage capacitor), the medium of which is the PV layer (second insulating layer 50) can form a larger capacitor, and the ITO (Metal) layer (second common electrode 60) and the pixel (pixel electrode 39) form Cst4 (fourth storage capacitor), the medium of which is the organic planarization layer 38. Cst=cst1+cst2+cst3+cst4, and Cst is further increased on the basis of original cst=cst1+cst2, so that the problem that the normal use of the device is affected by voltage drop generated by TFT leakage current is solved.
Further, the source electrode 371 and the drain electrode 372 are respectively connected to the polysilicon layer 33 through the passivation layer 36 and the first insulating layer 34 in sequence, and the pixel electrode 39 is connected to the drain electrode 372 through the organic planarization layer 38, the second common electrode 60 and the second insulating layer 50 in sequence. In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the pin gradually decreases towards the direction of the lower glass substrate 31 to form an inverted cone structure, and it can be appreciated that the inverted cone structure design has higher safety in the actual manufacturing process. In specific practice, the working mechanism of the phase modulator is as follows: when the voltages of the gates 40 are different, the free electron concentration of p-Si under the gates 40 is different, and the higher the voltage of the gates 40 is in a certain range, the higher the free electron concentration of p-Si is, and the larger the current flowing to the drain 372 from the source 371 is; the source electrode 371 is a voltage signal to be written, and the drain electrode 372 is connected to the pixel electrode 39 to channel the source electrode 371 to the pixel electrode 39, and the on/off or on state of the thin film transistor is controlled by the voltage of the control gate 40.
Further, the pixel electrode 39 includes silver metal having a single-layer structure. Specifically, a reflection area is formed on the corresponding upper surface, and when no voltage is applied, the phase retardation of the light passing through the reflection area is the largest, and when the voltage is applied by the reflection electrode, the liquid crystal layer 20 in the reflection area generates a vertical deflection angle, the phase retardation of the light passing through the reflection area becomes smaller, and the higher the voltage, the larger the liquid crystal vertical deflection angle, and the smaller the phase retardation.
Referring to fig. 3 to 5, in this embodiment, cdc and Cgc are formed by adding the second insulating layer 50 and the second common electrode 60, which can shield the coupling effect of the signal jump of Date and Gate on the pixel electrode 39, increase Cst, and reduce the voltage drop caused by the influence of the leakage current on the pixel electrode 39 in the TFT off state, thereby improving the working performance of the device.
It should be noted that Cdc refers to a parasitic capacitance formed between the source electrode 371 and the second common electrode 60 by 50 as a medium, and Cgc refers to a parasitic capacitance formed between the gate electrode 40 and the second common electrode 60 by the passivation layer 36 and the second insulating layer 50 as a medium.
Preferably, the materials of the gate electrode 40, the common electrode, the source electrode 371 and the drain electrode 372 are alloy metals of titanium/aluminum/titanium in sequence from the bottom layer to the top layer; the storage capacitor is to prevent the thin film transistor from leaking when the thin film transistor is turned off, so that the voltage of the pixel electrode 39 is maintained in the desired voltage range.
Further, the lower substrate 30 further includes a buffer layer 32, and the buffer layer 32 is disposed between the lower glass substrate 31 and the polysilicon layer 33. The buffer layer 32 is attached to the lower glass substrate 31 to contact the polysilicon layer 33, so as to protect the lower glass substrate 31 in the presence of a strong external force.
Further, the surfaces of the liquid crystal layer 20 facing the upper substrate 10 and the lower substrate 30 are respectively provided with a liquid crystal alignment layer 70. In this embodiment, the main components of the liquid crystal alignment layer 70 are polyimide and DMA; of course, the main component of the liquid crystal alignment layer 70 of other embodiments may be one of polyimide and NMP, polyimide and BC. The solid component of the liquid crystal alignment layer 70 is a small molecular compound in the stock solution, and generates polymerization reaction at high temperature to form a long-chain macromolecular solid polymer polyamide with a plurality of branched chains, wherein the included angle between the branched chains and the main chain in the polymer molecule is the so-called pretilt angle of the guide layer, the acting force between the branched chain group of the polymer and the liquid crystal molecule is stronger, and the liquid crystal alignment layer has an anchoring effect on the liquid crystal molecule, so that the liquid crystal can be aligned in the pretilt angle direction. In the specific process, a layer of the liquid crystal alignment layer 70 is coated on one side of the upper substrate 10 and one side of the lower substrate 30, which correspond to each other, a circle of frame sealing glue is coated on the glass edge of the display area of the lower substrate 30 after the liquid crystal alignment layer 70 is rubbed or optically aligned, liquid crystal is dripped on the liquid crystal alignment layer 70 in the frame sealing glue, the upper substrate 10 and the lower substrate 30 are aligned and attached under a vacuum environment, and the frame sealing glue is cured under the condition of ultraviolet illumination setting and heating adjustment, so as to form the glass-based liquid crystal phase modulation device.
Further, the liquid crystal layer 20 employs a positive liquid crystal. In this embodiment, the liquid crystal layer 20 is an ECB type liquid crystal (electrically controlled birefringence type liquid crystal), and the liquid crystal cell satisfies Δnd > 2pi. When the ECB type liquid crystal display device is powered on, the angle θ between the long axis of the liquid crystal molecules and the electric field changes due to the voltage, so that the birefringence of the liquid crystal cell changes. When linearly polarized light is incident on the cell, different phase delays are formed at different birefringence, and the phase modulator thus has a phase modulation capability.
It should be explained that the ECB type liquid crystal is a color liquid crystal that can display a plurality of colors by voltage control. According to the different internal structure principles, ECB is divided into three types of vertical alignment liquid crystal (DAP type), parallel alignment mode and LB film orientation mixed alignment nematic (HAN type), wherein the DAP type liquid crystal is formed by aligning nematic liquid crystal with negative dielectric anisotropy perpendicular to the surface of a liquid crystal box; the parallel arrangement mode adopts a parallel orientation liquid crystal box in which the long axes of nematic liquid crystal molecules with positive dielectric anisotropy are arranged along the parallel surface of the substrate; the HAN type liquid crystal is composed of nematic liquid crystals having positive dielectric anisotropy, one side of which is aligned perpendicularly to the cell surface and the other side of which is aligned parallel to the cell surface.
In summary, the polysilicon layer 33 is heavily doped and then made conductive, so that the first insulating layer 34 is used as a medium to form a first storage capacitor, the passivation layer 36 is used as a medium to form a second storage capacitor, the second insulating layer 50 is used as a medium to form a third storage capacitor, and the organic planarization layer 38 is used as a medium to form a fourth storage capacitor, so that the capacity of the storage capacitor is increased, the Pixel electrode voltage drop caused by the TFT leakage current is avoided, the working performance of the device is ensured, and the technical problem that the Pixel electrode voltage drop is caused by the TFT leakage current due to the smaller storage capacitor in the liquid crystal display device in the prior art is solved.

It should be explained that, the present invention uses Poly-Si (polysilicon layer 33) having conductivity after being heavily doped, and uses the Poly-Si layer as one electrode of the storage capacitor, and uses ITO (first common electrode 35 electrode) as common electrode above the heavily doped Poly-Si after the gate electrode 40 is heavily doped; a PV layer (second insulating layer 50) and an ITO (Metal) layer (second common electrode 60) are designed between the Metal layer and the organic planarization layer 38, the ITO (Metal) layer giving a common signal.
Wherein, heavily doped Poly-Si (polysilicon layer 33) and ITO (first common electrode 35) are used as upper and lower electrodes, and GI (first insulating layer 34) is used as a dielectric layer to form Cst1 (first storage capacitor); ITO (first common electrode 35) and drain electrode 372 form Cst2 (second storage capacitor), the medium is ILD (passivation layer 36); a PV layer (second insulating layer 50) and an ITO (Metal) layer (second common electrode 60) are designed between the Metal layer and the organic planarization layer 38, the ITO (Metal) layer gives a common signal, the Metal and ITO (Metal) form Cst3 (third storage capacitor), the medium is the organic planarization layer 38, the ITO (Metal) layer (second common electrode 60) and pixel (pixel electrode 39) form Cst4 (fourth storage capacitor), and the medium is the PV layer (second insulating layer 50) form a larger capacitor. Cst=cst1+cst2+cst3+cst4, and Cst is further increased on the basis of original cst=cst1+cst2, so that the problem that the normal use of the device is affected by voltage drop generated by TFT leakage current is solved.

In specific practice, the working mechanism of the phase modulator is as follows: when the voltages of the gates 40 are different, the free electron concentration of p-Si under the gates 40 is different, and the higher the voltage of the gates 40 is in a certain range, the higher the free electron concentration of p-Si is, and the larger the current flowing to the drain 372 from the source 371 is; the source electrode 371 is a voltage signal to be written, and the drain electrode 372 is connected to the pixel electrode 39 to channel the source electrode 371 to the pixel electrode 39, and the on/off or on state of the thin film transistor is controlled by the voltage of the control gate 40.
Further, the pixel electrode 39 may comprise an alloy metal of a multi-layer structure, such as one of titanium/aluminum, titanium/aluminum/titanium in order from bottom layer to top layer. Specifically, a reflection area is formed on the corresponding upper surface, and when no voltage is applied, the phase retardation of the light passing through the reflection area is the largest, and when the voltage is applied by the reflection electrode, the liquid crystal layer 20 in the reflection area generates a vertical deflection angle, the phase retardation of the light passing through the reflection area becomes smaller, and the higher the voltage, the larger the liquid crystal vertical deflection angle, and the smaller the phase retardation.
Further, the materials of the gate electrode 40, the common electrode, the source electrode 371 and the drain electrode 372 may be alloy metals of molybdenum/aluminum/molybdenum in sequence from bottom layer to top layer. The purpose of the storage capacitor is to prevent leakage of the thin film transistor when the thin film transistor is turned off, so that the voltage of the pixel electrode 39 is maintained in the voltage range to be written.
Further, the lower substrate 30 further includes a buffer layer 32, and the buffer layer 32 is disposed between the lower glass substrate 31 and the polysilicon layer 33. The buffer layer 32 is attached to the lower glass substrate 31 to contact the polysilicon layer 33, so as to protect the lower glass substrate 31 in the presence of a strong external force.

In this embodiment, the main components of the liquid crystal alignment layer 70 are polyimide and DMA; of course, the main component of the liquid crystal alignment layer 70 of other embodiments may be one of polyimide and NMP, polyimide and BC. The solid component of the liquid crystal alignment layer 70 is a small molecular compound in the stock solution, and generates polymerization reaction at high temperature to form a long-chain macromolecular solid polymer polyamide with a plurality of branched chains, wherein the included angle between the branched chains and the main chain in the polymer molecule is the so-called pretilt angle of the guide layer, the acting force between the branched chain group of the polymer and the liquid crystal molecule is stronger, and the liquid crystal alignment layer has an anchoring effect on the liquid crystal molecule, so that the liquid crystal can be aligned in the pretilt angle direction.
