The thin film transistor array mainly includes a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of data lines, a thin film transistor array arranged between the scan lines and the data lines, and a pixel electrode (Pixel Electrode) corresponding to each thin film transistor, and the thin film transistor includes a gate A pole, a semiconductor layer, a source and a drain, which are used as switching elements of a liquid crystal display unit.
薄膜晶体管阵列基板的制作过程通常包括多次的显影及蚀刻步骤。 在 一般的制造技术当中, 栅极与扫描线是第一金属层, 源极、 漏极与数据线 是第二金属层。 而且, 在第一金属层以及第二金属层之间至少具有一层介 电层。 薄膜晶体管的结构中, 栅极与漏极至少有部分重叠, 因此栅极与漏 极之间通常会存在所谓的栅极-漏极寄生电容 (以下称作 Cgd ) 。  The fabrication process of a thin film transistor array substrate typically involves multiple development and etching steps. In a general manufacturing technique, the gate and scan lines are the first metal layer, and the source, drain and data lines are the second metal layer. Moreover, there is at least one dielectric layer between the first metal layer and the second metal layer. In the structure of the thin film transistor, the gate and the drain at least partially overlap, so that there is usually a so-called gate-drain parasitic capacitance (hereinafter referred to as Cgd) between the gate and the drain.
就液晶显示器而言, 施加在液晶电容 Clc上的电压与液晶分子的光穿 透率之间具有特定关系。 因此, 只要依据所要显示的画面来控制施加在液 晶电容 Clc上的电压, 即可使显示器显示预定的画面。 但由于栅极-漏极寄 生电容 Cgd的存在, 液晶电容 Clc上所保持的电压将会随着数据配线上的 信号变化而有所改变。 此电压变动量称为馈通电压(feed-through voltage) Δ Vp , 其可表示为公式(1):  In the case of a liquid crystal display, there is a specific relationship between the voltage applied to the liquid crystal capacitor Clc and the light transmittance of the liquid crystal molecules. Therefore, as long as the voltage applied to the liquid crystal capacitor Clc is controlled in accordance with the picture to be displayed, the display can be made to display a predetermined picture. However, due to the presence of the gate-drain parasitic capacitance Cgd, the voltage held on the liquid crystal capacitor Clc will change as the signal on the data wiring changes. This voltage variation is called the feed-through voltage Δ Vp , which can be expressed as equation (1):
Δ Vp=[Cgd/(Clc+Cgd+Cst)](Vgon-Vgoff) (1) 其中 Vgon-Vgoff为施加于扫描线上的脉冲电压的振幅, 而 Cst为储存 电容。 在目前的主动元件阵列制作过程中, 机台移动时的位移偏差量将导致 各个元件的相对位置有所差异。 特别是, 栅极与漏极的重叠面积不同时, 将使得栅极-漏极寄生电容 Cgd不同。 如此一来, 不同显示像素的具有不同 的馈通电压 A Vp , 进而在显示过程中产生显示亮度不均勾的问题。 也就是 说, 维持栅极-漏极寄生电容 Cgd的恒定性, 是主动元件阵列布局一直想要 达到的目标。 Δ Vp = [Cgd / (Clc + Cgd + Cst)] (Vgon - Vgoff) (1) where Vgon - Vgoff is the amplitude of the pulse voltage applied to the scanning line, and Cst is the storage capacitance. In the current active component array fabrication process, the amount of displacement deviation when the machine is moving will result in a difference in the relative positions of the various components. In particular, when the overlapping area of the gate and the drain is different, the gate-drain parasitic capacitance Cgd is made different. In this way, different display pixels have different feedthrough voltages A Vp , which in turn causes a problem of display brightness unevenness during display. That is, maintaining the constancy of the gate-drain parasitic capacitance Cgd is a goal that the active device array layout has always desired.

【具体实施方式】 【detailed description】
图 1为本发明第一实施例的像素结构的局部俯视示意图。 请参照图 1 , 像 素结构 100包括一扫描线 110、 一数据线 120、 一栅极 130、 一半导体层 140、 一源极 150、 一漏极 160、 一延伸电极 170以及一像素电极 180。 扫描线 110与 数据线 120彼此交错并且电性绝缘。栅极 130电性连接至扫描线 110。 半导体层 140位于栅极 130上方。 源极 150与漏极 160都至少位于半导体图案 140上, 且 源极 150连接至数据线 120。 延伸电极 170连接扫描线 110, 而像素电极 180则 电性连接漏极 160。 另外, 像素结构 100更包括一半导体图案 190。 半导体图案 190例如配置于延伸电极 170与漏极 160之间且位于延伸电极 170与漏极 160重 叠区域。 栅极 130、 半导体层 140、 源极 150以及漏极 160共同构成一薄膜晶体 管 TFT。当像素结构 100显示画面时,薄膜晶体管 TFT的开启可以将数据线 120 上的信号传送至像素电极 180。 1 is a partial top plan view of a pixel structure according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 , the pixel structure 100 includes a scan line 110 , a data line 120 , a gate 130 , and a semiconductor layer 140 . A source 150, a drain 160, an extension electrode 170, and a pixel electrode 180. The scan lines 110 and the data lines 120 are staggered and electrically insulated from each other. The gate 130 is electrically connected to the scan line 110. The semiconductor layer 140 is located above the gate 130. The source 150 and the drain 160 are both located on at least the semiconductor pattern 140, and the source 150 is connected to the data line 120. The extension electrode 170 is connected to the scan line 110, and the pixel electrode 180 is electrically connected to the drain 160. In addition, the pixel structure 100 further includes a semiconductor pattern 190. The semiconductor pattern 190 is disposed, for example, between the extension electrode 170 and the drain 160 and is located in a region where the extension electrode 170 and the drain 160 overlap. The gate electrode 130, the semiconductor layer 140, the source electrode 150, and the drain electrode 160 collectively constitute a thin film transistor TFT. When the pixel structure 100 displays a picture, the turning on of the thin film transistor TFT can transfer a signal on the data line 120 to the pixel electrode 180.
本实施例的漏极 160包括一接触部 162、一电极部 164以及一连接部 166。 接触部 162位于栅极 130之外, 电极部 164位于半导体图案 140上。 连接部 166 由接触部 162沿一方向 D延伸以连接至电极部 164并与栅极 130部分重叠。 在 本实施例中, 接触部 162例如是漏极 160与像素电极 180接触的部位, 而电极 部 164例如是位于栅极 130上方与半导体层 140接触的部位。此外, 电极部 164 与源极 150之间维持一特定的间距以使薄膜晶体管 TFT具有良好的工作效率。  The drain 160 of this embodiment includes a contact portion 162, an electrode portion 164, and a connection portion 166. The contact portion 162 is located outside the gate 130, and the electrode portion 164 is located on the semiconductor pattern 140. The connecting portion 166 extends in a direction D by the contact portion 162 to be connected to the electrode portion 164 and partially overlap the gate electrode 130. In the present embodiment, the contact portion 162 is, for example, a portion where the drain electrode 160 is in contact with the pixel electrode 180, and the electrode portion 164 is, for example, a portion above the gate electrode 130 in contact with the semiconductor layer 140. In addition, a specific spacing is maintained between the electrode portion 164 and the source 150 to provide good operating efficiency of the thin film transistor TFT.
在本实施例中, 栅极 130与延伸电极 170直接由扫描线 110凸伸出来, 所 以扫描线 110、 栅极 130与延伸电极 170会彼此电性连接。 一般而言, 制作像素 结构 100的过程中, 扫描线 110、栅极 130与延伸电极 170是由一第一金属层图 案化而成, 数据线 120、 源极 150与漏极 160则是由一第二金属层图案化而成。 另外, 所属技术领域中具有通常知识者都应了解, 第一金属层与第二金属层之 间以及第二金属层与像素电极 180之间都另外配置有至少一层绝缘层(图未示), 以维持像素结构 100中每一个元件的电性特性。  In this embodiment, the gate 130 and the extension electrode 170 are directly protruded from the scan line 110, so that the scan line 110, the gate 130 and the extension electrode 170 are electrically connected to each other. Generally, in the process of fabricating the pixel structure 100, the scan line 110, the gate 130 and the extension electrode 170 are patterned by a first metal layer, and the data line 120, the source 150 and the drain 160 are formed by a The second metal layer is patterned. In addition, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that at least one insulating layer (not shown) is additionally disposed between the first metal layer and the second metal layer and between the second metal layer and the pixel electrode 180. To maintain the electrical characteristics of each of the elements in the pixel structure 100.
特别的是, 第一金属层与第二金属层是利用不同的掩膜以显影蚀刻工艺进 行图案化而形成对应的元件。 所以, 扫描线 110、 栅极 130与延伸电极 170的相 对位置不会因工艺误差而改变。 同样地, 数据线 120、 源极 150与漏极 160的相 对位置不会因工艺误差而改变。 不过, 当光刻蚀刻工艺的对位步骤中发生了误 差将使栅极 130与漏极 160的相对位置发生变化。 也就是说, 对位步骤的误差 会使得栅极 130与漏极 160的相对位置偏离预设的布局方式。 如此一来, 栅极 130与漏极 160重叠的面积将不同于预设值, 也就是说栅极 -漏极寄生电容将无 法维持恒定。 由现有的技术可知, 栅极 -漏极寄生电容的浮动对像素结构 100的 显示效果有负面的影响。 因此, 本实施例的像素结构 100具有延伸电极 170以 助于维持栅极 -漏极寄生电容的恒定性。 In particular, the first metal layer and the second metal layer are patterned by a development etching process using different masks to form corresponding elements. Therefore, the relative positions of the scan lines 110, the gate electrodes 130, and the extension electrodes 170 are not changed by process errors. Similarly, the relative positions of the data line 120, the source 150, and the drain 160 are not changed by process errors. However, when the alignment step of the photolithography etching process occurs, an error occurs. The difference will cause the relative positions of the gate 130 and the drain 160 to change. That is, the error of the alignment step causes the relative positions of the gate 130 and the drain 160 to deviate from the preset layout. As a result, the area where the gate 130 overlaps the drain 160 will be different from the preset value, that is, the gate-drain parasitic capacitance will not be maintained constant. It is known from the prior art that the floating of the gate-drain parasitic capacitance has a negative influence on the display effect of the pixel structure 100. Therefore, the pixel structure 100 of the present embodiment has the extension electrode 170 to help maintain the constancy of the gate-drain parasitic capacitance.
具体来说, 本实施例的延伸电极 170与漏极 160之间的关系如下所述。 延 伸电极 170的一末端 172沿方向 D指向半导体层 130并与漏极 160的接触部 162 重叠。 延伸电极 170实质上为 L形的图案, 且延伸电极 170远离末端 172的另 一端 174直接连接扫描线 110 ,所以延伸电极 170与扫描线 110或栅极 130具有 相同的电位。 由于延伸电极 170连接扫描线 110以电性连接栅极 130且延伸电 极 170与接触部 162之间夹有半导体图案 190,延伸电极 170与漏极 160之间的 电容作用实质上等同于栅极 130与漏极 160之间的电容作用。 也因此, 像素结 构 100中的栅极 -漏极寄生电容是决定于延伸电极 170与接触部 162的重叠面积 以及栅极 130与漏极 160的重叠面积。  Specifically, the relationship between the extension electrode 170 and the drain electrode 160 of the present embodiment is as follows. An end 172 of the extension electrode 170 is directed in the direction D toward the semiconductor layer 130 and overlaps the contact portion 162 of the drain 160. The extension electrode 170 is substantially L-shaped, and the extension electrode 170 is directly connected to the scan line 110 away from the other end 174 of the end 172, so the extension electrode 170 has the same potential as the scan line 110 or the gate 130. Since the extension electrode 170 is connected to the scan line 110 to electrically connect the gate 130 and the semiconductor pattern 190 is sandwiched between the extension electrode 170 and the contact portion 162, the capacitance between the extension electrode 170 and the drain 160 is substantially equivalent to the gate 130. The interaction with the drain 160. Therefore, the gate-drain parasitic capacitance in the pixel structure 100 is determined by the overlapping area of the extension electrode 170 and the contact portion 162 and the overlapping area of the gate electrode 130 and the drain electrode 160.
在制作像素结构 100的过程中, 对位误差会使漏极 160相对于栅极 130朝 向方向 D或远离方向 D平移。若漏极 160沿方向 D移动,连接部 166与栅极 130 的重叠面积会增加。 同时,接触部 162也会沿方向 D接近栅极 130移动。 因此, 接触部 162与延伸电极 170的重叠面积会减小。 在本实施例中, 连接部 166具 有一第一宽度 W1 , 而延伸电极 170的末端 172具有一第二宽度 W2 , 且第一宽 度 W1实质上等于第二宽度 W2。 所以, 在这样的设计之下, 即使工艺上发生对 位误差, 延伸电极 170与接触部 162的重叠面积以及栅极 130与漏极 160的重 叠面积的总和仍维持不变。 也就是说, 像素结构 100中栅极 -漏极寄生电容仍可 维持恒定。  During the fabrication of the pixel structure 100, the alignment error causes the drain 160 to translate relative to the gate 130 in the direction D or away from the direction D. If the drain 160 moves in the direction D, the overlapping area of the connecting portion 166 and the gate 130 increases. At the same time, the contact portion 162 also moves closer to the gate 130 in the direction D. Therefore, the overlapping area of the contact portion 162 and the extension electrode 170 is reduced. In the present embodiment, the connecting portion 166 has a first width W1, and the end 172 of the extending electrode 170 has a second width W2, and the first width W1 is substantially equal to the second width W2. Therefore, under such a design, even if a registration error occurs in the process, the overlapping area of the extension electrode 170 and the contact portion 162 and the sum of the overlapping areas of the gate electrode 130 and the drain electrode 160 remain unchanged. That is, the gate-drain parasitic capacitance in the pixel structure 100 can still be maintained constant.
具体来说,在本实施例中,第一宽度 W1实质上等于第二宽度 W2。所以, 在对位误差下, 连接部 166与栅极 130重叠面积的增加量实质上可以等于接触 部 162与延伸电极 170重叠面积的减小量。 相似地, 对位误差使得漏极 160相 对于栅极 130远离方向 D平移, 则连接部 166与栅极 130重叠面积的减少量实 质上可以等于接触部 162与延伸电极 170重叠面积的增加量。借着这样的设计, 在发生对位误差后, 像素结构 100中的栅极-漏极寄生电容会与预先设定的数值 相等。 也就是说, 漏极 160重叠于栅极 130及延伸电极 170的总面积大小不会 因对位误差而改变。 因此, 像素结构 100对于工艺误差的容受度较大, 且也具 有较好的品质。 Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first width W1 is substantially equal to the second width W2. Therefore, under the alignment error, the increase in the area of overlap between the connection portion 166 and the gate electrode 130 can be substantially equal to the contact. The amount by which the portion 162 overlaps with the extension electrode 170 is reduced. Similarly, the alignment error causes the drain 160 to translate away from the direction D relative to the gate 130, and the amount of reduction in the area of overlap of the connection portion 166 with the gate 130 may be substantially equal to the amount of increase in the area of overlap of the contact portion 162 with the extension electrode 170. With such a design, the gate-drain parasitic capacitance in the pixel structure 100 is equal to a predetermined value after the registration error occurs. That is to say, the total area of the drain 160 overlapping the gate 130 and the extension electrode 170 is not changed by the alignment error. Therefore, the pixel structure 100 has a large tolerance to process errors and also has good quality.
上述实施例的薄膜晶体管 TFT仅是本发明的一种设计方式。例如,在本实 施例中, 薄膜晶体管 TFT的漏极 160具有 U型的电极部 164, 而源极 150的形 状为 L形。 L形源极 150的一端连接数据线 120 , 而另一端被 U型电极部 164 包围。具体而言, U型电极部 164具有一底部 164a以及由底部 164a两端垂直伸 出的两分支 164b与 164c。 另外, 连接部 166的一端连接于其中一个分支 164c。 在其他的实施方式中, 薄膜晶体管 TFT也可以依照以下所述的其他方式进行布 局, 不过本发明并不限定于此。  The thin film transistor TFT of the above embodiment is only one design of the present invention. For example, in the present embodiment, the drain electrode 160 of the thin film transistor TFT has a U-shaped electrode portion 164, and the source 150 has an L shape. One end of the L-shaped source 150 is connected to the data line 120, and the other end is surrounded by the U-shaped electrode portion 164. Specifically, the U-shaped electrode portion 164 has a bottom portion 164a and two branches 164b and 164c extending perpendicularly from both ends of the bottom portion 164a. Further, one end of the connecting portion 166 is connected to one of the branches 164c. In other embodiments, the thin film transistor TFT may be arranged in other ways as described below, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
图 2为本发明第二实施例的像素结构的局部俯视示意图。 请参照图 2, 像 素结构 200与前述的像素结构 100相似, 所以图 1与图 2中相同的元件符号表 示相同的构件。 具体来说, 两者的差异在于源极 250与漏极 260的设计。 具体 来说, 像素结构 200的漏极 260也具有 U型的电极部 264。 不过, 与前述实施 例不同之处在于,漏极 260中,连接部 166连接 U型电极部 264的底部。此外, 本实施例的源极 250例如为直条状, 且源极 250的一端连接数据线 120而另一 端被 U型的电极部 264包围。  2 is a partial top plan view of a pixel structure according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 2, the pixel structure 200 is similar to the pixel structure 100 described above, so that the same component symbols in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 denote the same components. Specifically, the difference between the two is the design of the source 250 and the drain 260. In particular, the drain 260 of the pixel structure 200 also has a U-shaped electrode portion 264. However, the difference from the foregoing embodiment is that in the drain 260, the connection portion 166 is connected to the bottom of the U-shaped electrode portion 264. Further, the source 250 of the present embodiment is, for example, a straight strip shape, and one end of the source 250 is connected to the data line 120 and the other end is surrounded by the U-shaped electrode portion 264.
值得一提的是,像素结构 200中也设置有延伸电极 170以及半导体图案 190。 延伸电极 170的末端沿方向 D指向半导体层 140 , 且延伸电极 170的末端与接 触部 162重叠。半导体图案 190则夹于延伸电极 170的末端与接触部 162之间。 所以, 延伸电极 170与接触部 162之间的电容作用实质上等同于电极部 264与 栅极之间的电容作用。 此外, 借着延伸部 170末端与连接部 166具有大致相同 的宽度且延伸部 170末端与连接部 166分别位于接触部 162相对两侧的设计, 漏极 260相对于栅极 130横向偏移后薄膜晶体管 TFT中的栅极-漏极寄生电容仍 固定不变。 也就是说, 像素结构 200 的品质相当良好且不易因工艺误差而有负 面的影响。 It is worth mentioning that the extension electrode 170 and the semiconductor pattern 190 are also disposed in the pixel structure 200. The end of the extension electrode 170 is directed to the semiconductor layer 140 in the direction D, and the end of the extension electrode 170 overlaps with the contact portion 162. The semiconductor pattern 190 is sandwiched between the end of the extension electrode 170 and the contact portion 162. Therefore, the capacitive action between the extension electrode 170 and the contact portion 162 is substantially equivalent to the capacitive action between the electrode portion 264 and the gate. In addition, the end of the extension portion 170 is substantially the same as the connection portion 166. The width of the extension portion 170 and the connection portion 166 are respectively located on opposite sides of the contact portion 162, and the gate-drain parasitic capacitance in the thin film transistor TFT is still fixed after the drain electrode 260 is laterally shifted with respect to the gate electrode 130. . That is to say, the quality of the pixel structure 200 is quite good and is not easily adversely affected by process errors.
此外, 图 3为本发明第三实施例的像素结构的局部俯视示意图。 请参照图 3 , 像素结构 300中除了源极 350与漏极 360的设计不同于像素结构 100的设计 外, 其余构件都与像素结构 100的设计相同。 因此, 图 3与图 1 中相同的元件 符号也代表着相同的构件。  In addition, FIG. 3 is a partial top plan view of a pixel structure according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, except for the design of the source 350 and the drain 360 in the pixel structure 300 that is different from the design of the pixel structure 100, the remaining components are the same as the design of the pixel structure 100. Therefore, the same component symbols in Fig. 3 and Fig. 1 also represent the same components.
具体来说, 像素结构 300具有 U型的源极 350。 此外, 漏极 360的电极部 364与连接部 166构成一长条状图案,其中 U型的源极 350例如包围电极部 364。 实际上, 电极部 364与连接部 166分别为长条状图案中的不同部位, 电极部 364 为长条状图案被源极 350 包围的部位, 而连接部 166则是长条状图案中由接触 部 162沿方向 D延伸以延伸至栅极 130所在区域内的部位。  In particular, pixel structure 300 has a U-shaped source 350. Further, the electrode portion 364 of the drain 360 and the connecting portion 166 constitute an elongated pattern in which the U-shaped source 350 surrounds the electrode portion 364, for example. Actually, the electrode portion 364 and the connecting portion 166 are respectively different portions in the elongated pattern, the electrode portion 364 is a portion where the elongated pattern is surrounded by the source 350, and the connecting portion 166 is in contact with the elongated pattern. Portion 162 extends in direction D to extend to a location within the area where gate 130 is located.
在本实施例中, 像素结构 300也具有恒定的栅极-漏极寄生电容。 亦即, 本 实施例也配置有连接扫描线 110的延伸电极 170以及对应的半导体图案 190,其 中延伸电极 170与接触部 162重叠而半导体图案 190位于此重叠区域中。此外, 连接部 166的第一宽度 W1等于延伸电极 170末端的第二宽度 W2。 所以, 当栅 极 130与漏极 360的相对位置改变时, 漏极 360与延伸图案 170的重叠面积以 及漏极 360与栅极 130的重叠面积都会随之改变。 如此一来, 即使制造过程中 发生对位误差, 像素结构 300也具有与预设布局相同的工作效率, 也就是说栅 极-漏极寄生电容仍与预设布局一样。 所以, 像素结构 300具有较大的工艺误差 容受度且品质较容易控制。  In this embodiment, pixel structure 300 also has a constant gate-drain parasitic capacitance. That is, the present embodiment is also provided with the extension electrode 170 connecting the scan lines 110 and the corresponding semiconductor pattern 190, wherein the extension electrode 170 overlaps the contact portion 162 and the semiconductor pattern 190 is located in this overlap region. Further, the first width W1 of the connecting portion 166 is equal to the second width W2 of the end of the extension electrode 170. Therefore, when the relative positions of the gate 130 and the drain 360 are changed, the overlapping area of the drain 360 and the extension pattern 170 and the overlapping area of the drain 360 and the gate 130 are changed. In this way, even if a registration error occurs during the manufacturing process, the pixel structure 300 has the same operational efficiency as the preset layout, that is, the gate-drain parasitic capacitance is still the same as the preset layout. Therefore, the pixel structure 300 has a large process error tolerance and the quality is relatively easy to control.
再进一步来说, 图 4为本发明第四实施例的像素结构的局部俯视示意图。 请参照图 4, 像素结构 400的设计是由像素结构 300的设计延伸而来。 所以, 像 素结构 300与像素结构 400中相同的元件符号都表示着相同的元件。具体来说, 为了维持栅极 -漏极寄生电容的恒定性, 像素结构 400的漏极 460更包括一凸出 部 468。 接触部 162位于连接部 166与凸出部 468之间。 值得一提的是, 本实施 例中, 凸出部 468平行方向 D而与延伸电极 170重叠。 Still further, FIG. 4 is a partial top plan view of a pixel structure according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the design of the pixel structure 400 is extended by the design of the pixel structure 300. Therefore, the same component symbols in pixel structure 300 and pixel structure 400 represent the same components. Specifically, in order to maintain the constancy of the gate-drain parasitic capacitance, the drain 460 of the pixel structure 400 further includes a protrusion. Department 468. The contact portion 162 is located between the connecting portion 166 and the protruding portion 468. It is worth mentioning that in the present embodiment, the protruding portion 468 overlaps the extension electrode 170 in the parallel direction D.
也就是说, 本实施例将漏极 460远离连接部 166的一侧向外延伸以形成与 延伸电极 170重叠的凸出部 468来维持栅极-漏极寄生电容的恒定。 另外, 为了 确保在对位误差下, 栅极 130与漏极 460之间的寄生电容仍不改变, 本实施例 的凸出部 468具有一第三宽度 W3 , 且第三宽度 W3至少等于或大于第二宽度 W2。 也就是说, 在任何条件下, 延伸电极 170末端在线宽方向上都会完全被凸 出部 468遮蔽。 如此一来, 像素结构 400可具有良好的品质且对于对位误差的 容受度也大幅提升。  That is, this embodiment extends the drain 460 away from the side of the connection portion 166 to form a protrusion 468 overlapping the extension electrode 170 to maintain a constant gate-drain parasitic capacitance. In addition, in order to ensure that the parasitic capacitance between the gate 130 and the drain 460 does not change under the alignment error, the protrusion 468 of the embodiment has a third width W3, and the third width W3 is at least equal to or greater than The second width W2. That is to say, under any conditions, the end of the extension electrode 170 is completely shielded by the projection 468 in the line width direction. As a result, the pixel structure 400 can have good quality and the tolerance for alignment errors is also greatly improved.
上述实施方式都以 L形的延伸电极作为说明。 不过, 延伸电极的形状也可 以随不同的像素结构设计而有所改变。 举例来说, 图 5 为本发明第五实施例的 像素结构的局部俯视示意图。 请参照图 5 , 像素结构 500包括一扫描线 510、 一 数据线 120、 一栅极 530、 一半导体层 140、 一源极 550、 一漏极 560、 一延伸电 极 570、 一像素电极 180以及一半导体图案 190。 扫描线 510与数据线 120彼此 交错并且电性绝缘。 栅极 530实质上为扫描线 510的一部分。 半导体层 140位 于栅极 530上方。 源极 550与漏极 560都至少位于半导体图案 140上, 且源极 550连接至数据线 120。 延伸电极 570连接扫描线 510, 并且延伸电极 570实质 上是由闸极 530所在位置延伸出来的。 换句话说, 本实施例的延伸电极 570是 连接闸极 530。 像素电极 180则连接漏极 560。 另外, 半导体图案 190例如配置 于延伸电极 570与漏极 560之间且位于延伸电极 570与漏极 560重叠区域中。  The above embodiments are all described with an L-shaped extension electrode. However, the shape of the extension electrodes can also vary with different pixel structure designs. For example, FIG. 5 is a partial top plan view of a pixel structure according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5 , the pixel structure 500 includes a scan line 510 , a data line 120 , a gate 530 , a semiconductor layer 140 , a source 550 , a drain 560 , an extension electrode 570 , a pixel electrode 180 , and a Semiconductor pattern 190. The scan lines 510 and the data lines 120 are staggered and electrically insulated from each other. Gate 530 is substantially a portion of scan line 510. The semiconductor layer 140 is located above the gate 530. Both the source 550 and the drain 560 are located on at least the semiconductor pattern 140, and the source 550 is connected to the data line 120. The extension electrode 570 is connected to the scan line 510, and the extension electrode 570 is substantially extended by the position of the gate 530. In other words, the extension electrode 570 of the present embodiment is connected to the gate 530. The pixel electrode 180 is connected to the drain 560. In addition, the semiconductor pattern 190 is disposed, for example, between the extension electrode 570 and the drain 560 and in an overlapping region of the extension electrode 570 and the drain 560.
具体来说, 本实施例的延伸电极 570例如为 U型, 其一端连接闸极 530而 另一端未与其它组件连接。 漏极 560包括一接触部 562、 一电极部 564、 一连接 部 566以及一凸出部 568。  Specifically, the extension electrode 570 of the present embodiment is, for example, U-shaped, one end of which is connected to the gate 530 and the other end of which is not connected to other components. The drain 560 includes a contact portion 562, an electrode portion 564, a connecting portion 566, and a projection portion 568.
接触部 562位于扫描线 510以及栅极 530之外。 电极部 564位于半导体层 140上, 且电极部 564被 U型的源极 550包围。 连接部 566部分地位于栅极 530 之外并由接触部 562沿方向 D延伸以连接于电极部 564。 凸出部 568平行栅极 530的边缘而不与闸极 530重迭, 且凸出部 568连接于接触部 562而与延伸电 极 570重叠。 The contact portion 562 is located outside the scan line 510 and the gate 530. The electrode portion 564 is located on the semiconductor layer 140, and the electrode portion 564 is surrounded by the U-shaped source 550. The connection portion 566 is partially located outside the gate 530 and extends in the direction D by the contact portion 562 to be connected to the electrode portion 564. Projection portion 568 parallel gate The edge of 530 does not overlap with gate 530, and protrusion 568 is coupled to contact portion 562 to overlap extension electrode 570.
在本实施例中, 延伸电极 570具有不与任何元件连接的一末端 572 , 且末 端 572沿方向 D指向半导体层 140以与漏极 560的凸出部 568重叠。 当对位步 骤沿方向 D或背离方向 D发生误差时, 栅极 530与漏极 560的相对位置会拉近 或是拉远。 当栅极 530与漏极 560的相对位置拉近时, 漏极 560的连接部 566 与栅极 530的重叠面积会增加。 此时, 凸出部 568与延伸电极 570的重叠面积 会减小。 反之, 当栅极 530与漏极 560的相对位置拉远时, 连接部 566与栅极 530的重叠面积会减小, 而凸出部 568与延伸电极 570的重叠面积会增加。  In the present embodiment, the extension electrode 570 has an end 572 that is not connected to any of the elements, and the end 572 is directed in the direction D toward the semiconductor layer 140 to overlap the protrusion 568 of the drain 560. When an error occurs in the alignment step in the direction D or away from the direction D, the relative positions of the gate 530 and the drain 560 are pulled closer or farther. When the relative positions of the gate 530 and the drain 560 are brought closer, the overlapping area of the connection portion 566 of the drain 560 and the gate 530 is increased. At this time, the overlapping area of the projections 568 and the extension electrodes 570 is reduced. On the contrary, when the relative positions of the gate 530 and the drain 560 are extended, the overlapping area of the connecting portion 566 and the gate 530 is reduced, and the overlapping area of the protruding portion 568 and the extending electrode 570 is increased.
在此,延伸电极 570与栅极 530电性连接,所以延伸电极 570与凸出部 568 之间的电容作用实质上等于连接部 566与栅极 530之间的电容作用。 基于这样 的关系, 像素结构 500中的栅极 -漏极寄生电容是否发生改变可以决定于延伸电 极 570与凸出部 568的重叠面积以及连接部 566与栅极 530的重叠面积是否发 生改变。 因此, 为了使栅极 530与漏极 560的重叠面积维持固定, 连接部 566 的一第一宽度 W1实质上等于末端 572的一第二宽度 W2。 如此一来, 当制作像 素结构 500的过程中发生对位误差而使栅极 530与漏极 560的相对位置发生改 变, 漏极 560重叠于栅极 530以及延伸电极 570的总面积不会改变。 因此, 像 素结构 500的栅极 -漏极寄生电容为恒定的, 不受工艺的误差而改变。 并且, 像 素结构 500具有良好的品质及稳定的元件特性。  Here, the extension electrode 570 is electrically connected to the gate 530, so the capacitance between the extension electrode 570 and the protrusion 568 is substantially equal to the capacitance between the connection portion 566 and the gate 530. Based on such a relationship, whether or not the gate-drain parasitic capacitance in the pixel structure 500 is changed may be determined by whether the overlapping area of the extension electrode 570 and the protrusion 568 and the overlapping area of the connection portion 566 and the gate 530 are changed. Therefore, in order to maintain the overlapping area of the gate 530 and the drain 560, a first width W1 of the connecting portion 566 is substantially equal to a second width W2 of the end 572. As a result, when the alignment error occurs during the fabrication of the pixel structure 500 and the relative positions of the gate 530 and the drain 560 are changed, the total area of the drain 560 overlapping the gate 530 and the extension electrode 570 does not change. Therefore, the gate-drain parasitic capacitance of the pixel structure 500 is constant and is not affected by process errors. Moreover, the pixel structure 500 has good quality and stable component characteristics.
综上所述, 本发明在像素结构中配置电性连接于栅极的一延伸电极, 且延 伸电极与漏极重叠。 此外, 延伸电极与漏极重叠的部位位于漏极远离栅极的一 侧。 因此, 制作像素结构的过程中, 若有对位误差发生, 则漏极重叠于栅极与 延伸电极的总面积仍维持恒定, 藉以使得像素结构中的栅极-漏极寄生电容不受 对位误差而改变。 如此一来, 像素结构具有良好的品质, 在显示器的应用上也 不容易产生画面闪烁的问题。 此外, 本发明的像素结构对于对位误差的容忍度 也可大幅提高。 虽然本发明已以实施例揭露如上, 但其并非用以限定本发明, 任何所属技 术领域的技术人员, 在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内, 当可作一些的更动与润 饰, 故本发明的保护范围当视后附的权利要求所界定者为准。 In summary, the present invention configures an extension electrode electrically connected to the gate in the pixel structure, and the extension electrode overlaps the drain. Further, a portion where the extension electrode overlaps the drain is located on a side of the drain away from the gate. Therefore, in the process of fabricating the pixel structure, if a registration error occurs, the total area of the drain overlapping the gate and the extended electrode remains constant, so that the gate-drain parasitic capacitance in the pixel structure is not aligned. Change with error. As a result, the pixel structure has good quality, and the problem of flickering of the screen is not easily generated in the application of the display. In addition, the tolerance of the pixel structure of the present invention to the alignment error can be greatly improved. The present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, but it is not intended to limit the present invention, and any person skilled in the art can make some changes and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims.
