The said film transistor working principle is summarized as follows:
The source electrode is connected by the semiconductor layer (such as metal oxide IGZO) that is positioned at its below with drain electrode, after the voltage signal of array base palte upper tracer is opened the TFT gate electrode, source electrode and drain electrode are by the semiconductor layer conducting, being loaded into the pixel electrode that with source electrode link to each other by drain electrode with conducting channel between the electrode of source from the signal voltage of data wire, is the pixel electrode charging.Drain electrode on the TFT that the utility model embodiment provides arranges more than one, and the source electrode arranges one.All drain electrodes are connected on the data lines simultaneously, and source electrode and each drain electrode form conducting channel.Therefore more than one of the conducting channel of the TFT that provides of the utility model embodiment, the distance between source electrode and the drain electrode determines the length of conducting channel, the size of source electrode and drain electrode determines the width of conducting channel.In the certain situation of the distance between source electrode and the drain electrode and size, the utility model is by increasing the number of drain electrode, increased the number of conducting channel, increased in fact the effective width of conducting channel, be loaded on the pixel electrode that links to each other with the source electrode so that the signal voltage on the data wire is easier, in the situation that the source electrode area does not have to increase, TFT is that the charging ability of pixel electrode improves, reduced pixel electrode saltus step the time cause the possibility of image colour cast.

In order not affect the aperture opening ratio of each subpixel area pixel on the array base palte, in the scope that Mapping Technology allows, the TFT that is positioned at subpixel area should be the smaller the better.When the drain electrode quantity on the TFT is too much, because drain electrode links to each other with pixel electrode, drain electrode can affect the aperture opening ratio of TFT, in the specific implementation process, can decide according to size and the structure of display unit, namely design according to the actual requirements the drain electrode of the suitable size of suitable quantity.
The viewing area be used for to show that the structure of TFT of image is identical on the array base palte, and the below is with a bottom gate type TFT, and the TFT structure that two or three drain electrodes are set on the TFT is the example explanation.
Referring to Fig. 5, be TFT part-structure schematic top plan view.
Be the subpixel area that data wire 4 and scan line 3 surround such as Fig. 5.
Gate electrode 21 links to each other with scan line 3;
TFT comprises two drain electrodes, the first drain electrode 231 and 232, one source electrodes 22 of the second drain electrode;
The first drain electrode 231, the second drain electrode 232, and the line of source electrode 22 a formation triangle (as shown in Figure 5) perhaps consist of straight line as shown in Figure 6.
Referring to Fig. 5, the first drain electrode 231, the second drain electrode 232, and the line between the source electrode 22 consists of right-angled triangle, acute triangle or obtuse triangle (Figure 5 shows that right-angled triangle) take source electrode 22 as drift angle.
Preferably, for so that different drain electrode is consistent with channel length between the electrode of source, and channel width is consistent, guarantees the optimum performance of TFT, and preferably, the distance of source electrode distance drain electrode equates.
Preferably, the size of source electrode equals the size of drain electrode.
The first drain electrode 231 shown in Figure 5, the second drain electrode 232, and the line of source electrode 22 consists of an isosceles triangle.
Same as the prior art, source electrode 22 and drain electrode 23 all are arranged on the gate electrode 21, and the upright projection of source electrode 22 and drain electrode 23 is within the transistorized zone of gate electrode 21 cover films.
Preferably, referring to Fig. 7, TFT comprises three drain electrodes, the first drain electrode 231, the second drain electrode 232 and the 3rd drain electrode 233;

In like manner, described right-angled triangle, acute triangle or obtuse triangle are that isosceles triangle is best, and the TFT performance is higher.
The triangle that consists of when the interconnecting line between two drain electrodes and the source electrode straight line of comparing is better, and the source electrode can be arranged on the position nearer apart from pixel electrode like this, and in the specific implementation process, technological design is simple.
When the triangle of the formation of the interconnecting line between two drain electrodes and the source electrode was acute triangle, the drift angle of acute triangle was not less than 30 degree.

Because drain electrode 23 is overlapping in the upright projection on the substrate and the upright projection of gate electrode 21 on substrate, therefore do not affect the aperture opening ratio of TFT pixel.
Source electrode 22 does not increase with respect to prior art yet, although the electric capacity of drain electrode increases to some extent, and pixel electrode 5 is at discharge regime, TFT closes, drain electrode and source electrode turn-off, therefore the discharge process of pixel electrode 5 is only relevant with the electric capacity of source electrode 22, irrelevant with the capacitance size of drain electrode, the size of source electrode 22 does not change, and the electric capacity between source electrode 22 and the semiconductor layer 24 does not change, and the electric capacity of source electrode 22 is less, the image that more is conducive to high image quality shows, the utility model does not increase source electrode 22 electric capacity when the conducting channel effective width increases, improved image quality.
