为使本发明实施例的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚, 下面将结合本发 明实施例的附图,对本发明实施例的技术方案进行清楚、 完整地描述。显然, 所描述的实施例是本发明的一部分实施例, 而不是全部的实施例。 基于所描 述的本发明的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在无需创造性劳动的前提下所获 得的所有其他实施例, 都属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明实施例的阵列基板包括多条栅线和多条数据线, 这些栅线和数据 线彼此交叉由此限定了排列为矩阵的像素区域,每个像素区域包括像素单元, 而像素单元包括作为开关元件的薄膜晶体管和用于控制液晶的排列的像素电 极和公共电极。 每个像素的薄膜晶体管的栅极与相应的栅线电连接或一体形 成, 源极与相应的数据线电连接或一体形成, 漏极与相应的像素电极电连接 或一体形成。 下面的描述主要针对单个或多个像素单元进行, 但是其他像素 单元可以相同地形成。
实施例一
本发明实施例提供了一种像素单元,下面参照图 1和图 la来说明本实施 例中像素单元的结构。 需要明确的是, 本实施例中定义的像素单元, 并不包 括栅线和数据线。 所述像素单元, 在适当地设置栅线和数据线之后, 可以用 于形成普通的阵列基板, 或者形成双栅结构的阵列基板。
图 1所示为本发明实施例像素单元的平面结构示意图, 其示出了上下相 邻的两个像素单元; 图 1A所示为图 1中 A1-A1方向的截面图, 图 1B为图 1 中 B1-B1截面示意图, 即图 1A和图 1B为一个像素单元的不同切割方向的 截面示意图。
本实施例中的像素单元包括薄膜晶体管 100、 像素电极 2和公共电极 9。 所述薄膜晶体管 100包括栅极 31、设置于栅极 31之上的栅绝缘层 4、设置于 栅绝缘层 4之上有源层 5、设置于所述有源层 5之上的源极 61和漏极 62、以 及设置于源极 61和漏极 62之上的钝化层 7。公共电极 9直接设置在钝化层 7 之上; 像素电极 2设置在钝化层 7之下, 并与所述薄膜晶体管 100的漏极 62 相连接。 像素电极 2可以直接设置在钝化层 7之下, 像素电极 2也设置在钝 化层 7之下, 同时钝化层 7和像素电极 2之间还存在其他中间膜层, 比如栅 绝缘层 4。 当像素电极 2直接设置在钝化层 7之下时, 其可以直接搭接在漏 极的下面, 或者通过其他方式与漏极连接。 本实施例的像素单元, 与传统的 ADS的区别在于, 像素电极和公共电极的上下位置关系发生了互换, 因此可 称为 I-ADS ( Inverse-ADS )型的像素单元。 优选地,在本实施例的一个示例中,像素电极 2与栅极 3设置在同一层, 钝化层 7和像素电极 2之间设置有栅绝缘层 4, 与公共电极 9同层的连接电 极 91通过过孔 81和过孔 82分别连接薄膜晶体管 100的漏极 62和像素电极 2。 本实施例中,像素电极 2与栅极 3设置在同一层,是指像素电极 2与栅线 3的位置关系,并非限定两者由同层的同一种材料形成。像素电极 2与栅极 3 可以为相同材料, 也可以为不同材料。
在本实施例中, 公共电极 9为狭缝状、 像素电极 2为板状, 也可以是公 共电极 9和像素电极 2均为狭缝状。 优选地, 公共电极 9为狭缝状, 像素电 极 2为板状, 这一形状组合的像素电极 2和公共电极 9在本实施例的像素单 元的结构中更容易实现。
进一步地,与所述公共电极 9同层的连接电极 91与公共电极 9为同一材 料;优选地,连接电极 91与公共电极 9为在同一层并且在相同的工序中形成。
优选地, 像素电极 2和 /或公共电极 9为透明电极。
在本实施例中, 公共电极 9可以为氧化铟锡( ITO )或氧化铟辞( IZO ) 的单层膜, 或者为 ITO和 IZO组成的复合膜。
在本实施例中, 钝化层 7可以例如为氧化物、 氮化物、 氮氧化物或有机 树脂。 优选地, 在本实施例中, 钝化层 7釆用有机树脂材料, 有机树脂本身 的良好的透明度和绝缘特性, 将使最终的显示器件具有更好的开口率及更好 的显示效果。
本发明实施例提供的像素单元,将公共电极 9直接设置在钝化层 7之上, 将像素电极 2设置在钝化层 7之下并与所述薄膜晶体管的漏极 62相连接,相 对于普通 TN模式的像素单元具有更大的可视角度。 并且, 本发明实施例提 供的像素单元相对于普通 ADS 的像素单元, 具有开口率更高、 工艺过程更 加稳定, 可以选用使用双色调掩膜的 4Mask方式来制备等优点; 进一步地, 其相对普通 ADS 实现的双栅结构, 可以使公共电极延伸到栅线上方, 屏蔽 栅线上的信号对像素电极的影响, 进而减小栅线上方黑矩阵的宽度, 提高开 口率, 进而提高显示品质。
实施例二
本实施例提供一种阵列基板, 包括基底基板、 所述基板上设有栅线、 垂 直于所述栅线设有数据线。 所述栅线和所述数据线之间限定有像素区域, 所 述像素区域包括上述实施例一中所述的像素单元(可参见图 1 )。 所述薄膜晶 体管的栅极与所述栅线连接, 所述薄膜晶体管的源极与所述数据线连接。 需 要指出的是,包括了上述像素单元的阵列基板,可以称为 I-ADS型阵列基板; 其与传统的 ADS型阵列基板相比, 像素电极 2和公共电极 9的上下位置关 系发生了变化。
本实施例的阵列基板的一个示例中, 栅线和数据线彼此交叉限定了一个 阵列, 每行的多个像素单元的上方和下方均设置有栅线, 每个像素单元的左 侧和右侧均设置有数据线,且每相邻两行的像素单元之间仅设置有一条栅线, 每相邻两列像素单元之间设置有一条数据线。每个像素单元为 I-ADS型的像 素单元。
本实施例的阵列基板的另一个示例中, 每行的多个像素单元的上方和下 方均设置有栅线, 且每相邻两行所述像素单元之间设置有两条栅线 321 和 322,如图 1所示。 图 1只示出了阵列基板上的上下相邻的两个像素单元。在 每列像素单元的左侧或右侧设置有数据线, 且每相邻两条数据线之间包括两 列所述像素单元。 此为在 I-ADS基础上实现双栅 ( Dual-gate )结构的阵列基 板。 关于实现双栅结构后整个基板的像素排布情况, 可参见图 8所示的示意 图; 需要指出的是, 图 8仅为示意, 并未画出每个像素单元的具体像素结构。
进一步地, 所述薄膜晶体管的栅极与其所在的像素单元上方或下方的栅 线连接, 所述薄膜晶体管的源极与其所在的像素单元左侧或右侧的数据线连 接, 实现 Z反转 ( Z-inversion ) 的像素结构。
本实施例中实现 Z反转的像素结构的示意图如图 8所示, 可以通过下面 的形式实现。 在阵列基板中, 同列的奇数个像素单元中的薄膜晶体管的源极 连接在该列两侧的数据线中的一条数据线上, 偶数个像素单元中的薄膜晶体 管的源极连接在该列两侧的数据线中另一条数据线上, 且相邻两列中处于同 一行的像素单元中的薄膜晶体管的源极连接不同的两条数据线。 同行的所述 像素单元两两一组通过其包括的薄膜晶体管的栅极交替地分别连接在位于该 行像素单元上方和下方的两条栅线上, 且每条所述栅线连接的像素单元位于 同一行; 并且, 两条相邻数据线之间的、 两个同行且相邻的像素单元的薄膜 晶体管的栅极分别连接在两条栅线上, 源极分别连接在所述两条数据线上。
在本实施例中, 双栅结构的示例性的具体结构设计如图 1所示, 其中标 号 321为栅线 1 , 322为栅线 2, 这形成了双栅结构。 在本实施例中釆用双栅 结构和 Z-反转设计的阵列基板, 可以参考图 8来理解。 Z-反转可以通过控制 同一根数据线控制其左右两边的像素, 来达到降低功耗及提高显示效果的目 的。 结合双栅结构设计后, 每一根数据线, 可影响到其左右各两列的像素。
阵列基板与对置基板彼此对置以形成液晶盒, 在液晶盒中填充有液晶材 料, 由此形成液晶面板。该对置基板例如为彩膜基板,彩膜基板包括黑矩阵, 该黑矩阵定义了排列为矩阵的多个像素单元。 彩膜基板的像素单元对应于阵 列基板的像素单元。 由于釆用了上述双栅结构, 所得到的液晶面板中, 彩膜 基板上的黑矩阵( Black Matrix , ΒΜ ) 的面积可得以大大减少 (因为对应的 阵列基板上减少了数据线的数量), 使得开口率大大增加。
上述两种阵列基板,还都可以包括公共电极线(图中未示出 ), 所述公共 电极 9与所述公共电极线在阵列基板的周边通过过孔相连接。
进一步地, 在本实施例提供的两种阵列基板中, 公共电极 9还可以延伸 至其所在像素单元的上方和 /或下方的栅线的上方。此种设计可以屏蔽栅线上 的信号对像素电极的影响, 进而减小栅线上方黑矩阵的宽度, 提高开口率; 该示例性的结构可参见图 1或者图 1Β。图 1只示出了阵列基板上的上下相邻 的两个像素单元, 如图 1所示, 下方的像素单元的公共电极 9延伸到了栅线 321的上方, 上方的像素单元的公共电极 9延伸到了栅线 322的上方; 图 1B 为图 1中 B1-B1截面示意图,也示出了上方的像素单元的公共电极 9延伸到 了栅线 322的上方。 由于公共电极 9延伸到了栅线的上方, 可以屏蔽栅线上 的信号对像素电极的影响。 这进而可以减小彩膜基板上对应于栅线的黑矩阵 的宽度, 从而提高开口率。

在形成过孔 81和 82之后的基底基板上, 例如通过溅射或者热蒸发的方 法沉积透明导电薄膜。 此时, 导电薄膜填充到过孔 81和过孔 82中, 用于实 现像素电极 2与薄膜晶体管的漏极 62的连接,通过过孔 81和 82连接像素电 极 2和漏极 62的该部分导电薄膜可以称为连接电极 91。 例如釆用普通掩模 板, 通过第五次构图形成公共电极 9和连接电极 91的图形。本实施例中,透 明导电薄膜可以为氧化铟锡(Indium Tin Oxide, ITO )或氧化铟辞(IZO )的 单层膜, 也可以为 ITO和 IZO的复合膜。 本领域的技术人员可以理解, 连接 电极 91和公共电极 9可以如上所述在同一次构图工艺中,通过相同的材料形 成; 也可以釆用相同或不同材料, 在不同的构图工艺中实现。
以上, 仅为本实施例的一种典型的实现方法, 本领域的技术人员, 还可 以在其基础上, 结合公知常识和现有技术, 进行变形和改变, 或者根据需要 进行具体的像素结构设计。
例如, 在本实施例中, 在步骤 S101 中, 在像素单元的上方和下方均形 成有栅线, 且每相邻两行的像素单元之间仅形成有一条栅线。
例如, 在步骤 S102 中, 在像素单元的左侧和右侧均形成有数据线, 且 每相邻两列像素单元之间均形成有一条数据线。
或者, 例如, 在步骤 S101中, 在像素单元的上方和下方均形成有栅线, 且每相邻两行像素单元之间设置有两条栅线。
或者, 例如, 所述步骤 S102 中, 在像素单元的左侧或右侧设置有数据 线, 且每相邻两条数据线之间包括两列像素单元。
更进一步地, 例如, 在步骤 S101 中实现薄膜晶体管的栅极与其所在的 像素单元上方或下方的栅线连接, 在步骤 S102 中实现薄膜晶体管的源极与 其所在的像素单元左侧或右侧的数据线连接, 以实现 Z反转的像素结构。 例如, 在本实施中形成 z反转的像素结构, 可以包括:
同列的奇数个像素单元中的薄膜晶体管的源极连接在该列两侧的数据线 中的一条数据线上, 偶数个像素单元中的薄膜晶体管的源极连接在该列两侧 的数据线中另一条数据线上, 且相邻两列中处于同一行的像素单元中的薄膜 晶体管的源极连接不同的两条数据线;
同行的像素单元两两一组通过其包括的薄膜晶体管的栅极交替地分别连 接在位于该行像素单元上方和下方的两条栅线上, 且每条所述栅线连接的像 素单元位于同一行;
两条相邻数据线之间的、 两个同行且相邻的像素单元的薄膜晶体管的栅 极分别连接在两条栅线上, 源极分别连接在所述两条数据线上。
本领域的技术人员可以理解, 在步骤 S101 中, 例如, 在形成栅线和栅 极的同时还可以形成公共电极线, 然后在步骤 S104 中使公共电极与所述公 共电极线在阵列基板的周边通过过孔相连接。
进一步地, 在步骤 S104 中, 例如, 还可以使形成的公共电极延伸至其 所在像素单元的上方和 /或下方的栅线的上方, 与所述栅线形成存储电容。 形 成的具体结构可参见图 1或者图 1B。图 1只示出了阵列基板上的上下相邻的 两个像素单元,如图 1所示,下方的像素单元的公共电极 9延伸到了栅线 321 的上方, 上方的像素单元的公共电极 9延伸到了栅线 322的上方; 图 1B为 图 1中 B1-B1截面示意图, 也示出了上方的像素单元的公共电极 9延伸到了 栅线 322的上方。 由于公共电极延伸到了栅线的上方, 这种重叠结构可以屏 蔽栅线上的信号对像素电极的影响, 进而减小栅线上方黑矩阵的宽度, 提高 开口率。
实施例四

优选地, 对应所述数据线的位置的黑矩阵 102的宽度为 20um, 对应相 邻两条数据线之间的两列像素单元交界的位置的黑矩阵 103的宽度为 8um。 此时, 可以在保证显示效果(如避免漏光以及保证显示均匀性等) 的同时, 最大限度地提高开口率。
关于黑矩阵 101的宽度, 在此不做限定, 任何可以实现其作用的宽度均 可。 当使公共电极延伸到栅线上方时, 该重叠结构可以屏蔽栅线上的信号对 像素电极的影响, 因而可以减小栅线上方黑矩阵 101的宽度, 进一步提高开 口率。

优选地, 对应所述数据线的位置的黑矩阵 102的宽度为 20um, 对应相 邻两条数据线之间的两列像素单元交界的位置的黑矩阵 103的宽度为 8um。 此时, 可以在保证显示效果(如避免漏光以及保证显示均匀性等) 的同时, 最大限度地提高开口率。
关于黑矩阵 101的宽度, 在此不做限定, 任何可以实现其作用的宽度均 可。 当使公共电极延伸到栅线上方时, 该重叠结构可以屏蔽栅线上的信号对 像素电极的影响, 因而可以减小栅线上方黑矩阵 101的宽度, 进一步提高开 口率。
