The application is further described with reference to the drawings and alternative embodiments.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the present application discloses a display panel 100 including a first substrate and a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer 400 disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first substrate is generally the array substrate 200, and the second substrate is the color filter substrate 300, but it is needless to say that the first substrate may also be the color filter substrate 300, and the second substrate is the array substrate 200 (that is, the array substrate 200 is located above the color filter substrate 300). The array substrate 200 includes: a plurality of data lines 210; a plurality of scan lines 220; an active switch 230 disposed corresponding to the data line 210 and the scan line 220; and a pixel electrode 240 connected to the active switch 230 and forming an overlap region 241 with the active switch 230; the array substrate 200 further includes an insulating light shielding layer 251, a first insulating layer 252, an active layer 253, a metal layer 254, and a second insulating layer 255 formed at the overlapping region 241, and the pixel electrode 240 contacts the metal layer 254 through a via 256. Wherein the insulating light-shielding layer 251 is located below the active layer 253.
The active layer 253 is typically made of an amorphous silicon material, which is a photosensitive semiconductor material. High-intensity light emitted by a backlight module in the lcd device irradiates on the active layer 253 to generate a photocurrent, so that a pixel voltage provided by the pixel electrode 240 to the liquid crystal pixel changes, which finally causes an abnormal display of the image of the display panel 100, especially a severe image sticking phenomenon occurs during a performance test, and visual experience of a user is affected. In the present application, the pixel electrode 240 and the active switch 230 form an overlapping region 241, and an insulating light shielding layer 252 is added below the active layer 253 of the overlapping region 241, so as to block light emitted from the backlight module from directly irradiating on the active layer 253, prevent the active layer 253 from generating photocurrent to affect normal display of the display panel 100, and further improve display quality. If the shading factor is simply considered, the shading layer may be made of a metal material for shading, and the shading layer formed of the metal material may also effectively shade the high-intensity illumination generated by the backlight module, but the shading layer of the metal material may form a parasitic capacitance with the metal layer 254 above, and further may affect the normal display of the display panel 100. The insulating light-shielding layer 251 itself is made of an insulating material, so that parasitic capacitance with the upper metal layer 254 can be avoided due to the insulating property while shielding light. Similarly, the array substrate 200 is provided with the insulating light shielding layer 251 under the active layer 253 at the data line 210, so as to prevent the active layer 253 from affecting normal display due to photocurrent generated by illumination.
The first substrate is generally an Array substrate, and the display panel includes a Color Filter substrate arranged in a box-to-box manner with the Array substrate, or may be a COA (Color Filter on Array) substrate, and the opposite substrate may include only a glass substrate and a corresponding transparent electrode layer. Of course, other types and configurations of display panels are possible.
The active switch includes an insulating light-shielding layer 251, a gate layer, a first insulating layer 252, an active layer 253, a metal layer 254, and a second insulating layer 255 sequentially formed on a substrate.
Of course, the array substrate 200 further includes a gate line (located in the area of the active switch 230 and the scan line 220), and the array substrate 200 further includes a first insulating layer 251, a gate line metal layer and a second insulating layer 255 formed at the gate line, and the gate line metal layer has the same thickness as the insulating light shielding layer 251. The grid line metal layer is arranged at the grid line for shading and blocking the backlight in the liquid crystal display from irradiating. The thickness of the gate line metal layer is the same as that of the insulating light-shielding layer 251, and when the second insulating layer 255, the gate line metal layer and the pixel electrode 240 are formed above the substrate, the step difference can be reduced, and the problems of line breakage and fault caused by too large step difference can be avoided. Of course, the thickness of the insulating light-shielding layer 251 may be smaller than that of the gate line metal layer, so that the total thickness of the thin film transistor is equal to that of each film layer at the gate line, and specifically, the thickness of each film layer may be adjusted by using a semi-permeable film.
Specifically, the insulating light shielding layer 251 completely covers the active layer 253 in a projection perpendicular to the array substrate 200. The area of the insulating light-shielding layer 251 is larger than or equal to the area of the active layer 253, so that the insulating light-shielding layer 251 completely shields the backlight generated from the backlight module, and no light is incident on the active layer 253. The insulating light-shielding layer 251 in the overlapped region may be disposed with a projection that completely covers the metal layer 254, and may be extended to cover the gate layer at the active switch, so as to avoid mura (uneven display brightness, speckles) problem that may be generated at the edge of the metal layer.
More specifically, the insulating light-shielding layer 251 includes a black color resist. The insulating light-shielding layer 251 may be light-shielded using a BM (black matrix) material as the insulating light-shielding layer 251, on which a first insulating layer 252, an active layer 253, a metal layer 254, and a second insulating layer 255 are sequentially formed. In such a design, the black matrix is formed on a TFT (Thin film transistor) array substrate, and thus, compared with a case where the black matrix is formed on a color film substrate, the width of the BM may be reduced, and the aperture ratio of the display panel 100 may be further improved.
Of course, other insulating light-shielding materials may be used for shielding light, and other color resists may be used for shielding light. The insulating light-shielding layer may further include color-resist layers of at least two different colors, the plurality of color-resist layers being stacked. The insulating light-shielding layer 251 is formed by stacking at least two color-resist layers of different colors, so as to shield the backlight generated by the backlight module in the liquid crystal display. The stacking of different color resists can produce various embodiments, particularly, when the first substrate is a structure in which TFTs are disposed above color resist layers, the insulating light shielding layer 251 can have a red color resist layer as the first color resist layer and a blue color resist layer as the second color resist layer, which can be formed in the same layer as the color resist layer of the display panel 100, thereby reducing one process. The color resistance layer formed in the overlapping area and overlapped to form the insulating light shielding layer is smaller than the color resistance layer of the same color at other parts of the substrate, so that the condition that the TFT is too convex is avoided.
Of course, an insulating light-shielding layer 251 formed by stacking a red resist layer and a green resist layer, or a resist layer formed by stacking a green resist layer and a blue resist layer may be used. The stacking order of the different color resists is not limited to the above, and can be adjusted during the manufacturing process of the array substrate 200. More specifically, the insulating light-shielding layer 251 includes a red color resist, a green color resist, and a blue color resist. Insulating light shield layer 251 can use the three-layer look to hinder the layer and pile up the formation, and first layer look hinders the layer for red look hinders, the second look hinders the layer for green look hinders the layer, the third look hinders the layer and be the look and hinders the layer, and the film forming of three-layer look hinders can guarantee to shelter from that the effect is better in a poor light.
The array substrate 200 further includes a glass substrate 257, and the insulating light shielding layer is located between the glass substrate 257 and the first insulating layer 252 (gate electrode insulating layer). In the manufacturing process of the array substrate 200, the insulating light shielding layer 251 is formed on the glass substrate 257 at the data line 210 and the overlapping region 241 by using a photolithography mask, and then the first insulating layer 252 is deposited on the insulating light shielding layer 251, and the first insulating layer 252 is deposited on the insulating light shielding layer 251 and other regions of each region. Then, an active layer 253 (amorphous silicon layer) and a metal layer 254 are sequentially formed on the first insulating layer 252 using a photolithography mask. Here, the metal layer 253 formed at the gate and data lines 210 is a source metal layer, and the metal layer 254 formed at the overlapping region 241 of the pixel electrode 240 and the active switch 230 is a drain metal layer. After the active layer 253 thin film and the metal layer 254 thin film are deposited, the active layer 253 and the metal layer 254 are formed by exposure and development of a photolithographic mask, wet etching, dry etching and stripping.
Next, a second insulating layer 255 (passivation layer) is deposited, and a via 256 is formed in the overlap region 241 formed by the active switch 230 and the pixel electrode 240. The second insulating layer 255 may be exposed to light and developed by using a photolithography mask, and then dry-etched and stripped, so that the via hole 256 is formed in the overlap region 241, and the pixel electrode 240 is in contact with the metal layer 254 through the via hole 256.
The technical scheme of the application can be widely applied to flat panel displays such as Thin film transistor-Liquid Crystal displays (TFT-LCDs) and Organic Light-Emitting diodes (OLED) displays.
The foregoing is a more detailed description of the present application in connection with specific alternative embodiments, and the present application is not intended to be limited to the specific embodiments shown. For those skilled in the art to which the present application pertains, several simple deductions or substitutions may be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and all should be considered as belonging to the protection scope of the present application.
