一种阵列基板及其制作方法和显示面板 技术领域
本发明的实施例涉及液晶显示技术领域, 尤其涉及一种阵列基板及其制 作方法和显示面板。 背景技术
随着薄膜晶体管液晶显示技术的发展和工业技术的进步, 液晶显示技术 已经取代了阴极射线管显示技术成为日常显示领域的主流技术。 由于液晶显 示器件生产成本降低、 制造工艺的日益完善以及其本身所具有的优点, 在市 场和消费者心中成为理想的显示器件。 目前市场上立体显示技术日益兴起, 故而解决立体显示技术上的技术缺点, 改善成像质量(如减小色偏, 减少亮 点、 亮线, 降低立体串扰, 画面闪烁, 增大可视角度等)也变得日益重要。
薄膜晶体管液晶显示器( Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display , 缩 写为 TFT-LCD )包括阵列基板、相对基板以及位于阵列基板和相对基板之间 的液晶层。 阵列基板中设置有相互交叉的栅扫描线和数据线, 栅扫描线和数 据线分别被用作传输扫描驱动信号和图像数据信号, 来实现对液晶分子偏转 的控制, 从而进一步控制光线的强弱, 并且在相对基板的共同作用下, 实现 图像的显示。
在 LCD的制造工艺中, 需要包含阵列基板 1与相对基板 2的一整块较 大的面板上的指定位置进行切剖, 进而形成一个个独立的液晶盒, 为显露出 阵列基板 1上的焊盘(PAD ) 区域 101 , 需要将相对基板 2的与其对应的区 域切割掉。 如图 1和图 2所示, 沿切割线 A切割阵列基板 1及相对基板 2, 形成独立的液晶盒, 再沿相对基板切割线 B切割相对基板 2, 以显露出阵列 基板 1的 PAD区域 101。
目前, 如图 2所示, 阵列基板 1上的数据线 4上通常设计有一层绝缘层 5。在切割工艺的搬送和裂片过程中,切割下的相对基板材料可能会对相对基 板切割线 B附近的 PAD区域 101的数据线 4造成直接损伤, 或者在生产过 程中可能造成绝缘层 5损伤, 也会导致后续数据线 4腐蚀或氧化。 此外, 绝 缘层 5可用材料的硬度、 附着力相对较低, 受外力作用易脱落, 从而造成导 电层棵露在外, 容易在外力作用下损伤甚至脱落, 对数据线 4的保护效果相 对较差。 同时绝缘层 5的划伤、脱落及破坏, 也是影响产品品质的潜在因素, 随着时间的推移, 损伤脱落的绝缘层 5容易造成导电层的腐蚀等缺陷, 从而 影响产品的品质。 在生产实际中, 己经有由于绝缘层损伤导致产品 废的先 例。
如图 3所示, 所述 PAD区域可以包括距离相对基板切割线 B较远、 不 易发生数据线断裂的 LED区域和位于相对基板切割线 B附近的断裂易发区 域 102, 为解决该数据线断线问题, 现有技术中一般是通过在相对基板切割 线 B的两侧区域的引线上方设置一个保护层 103, 以减少在切割工艺的般送 和裂片过程中, 由于切割下的相对基板材料对绝缘层和数据线造成损伤, 起 到保护引线的作用, 减少了产品报废的潜在因素。 但是, 该方案只能起到预 防数据线断线的发生, 一旦发生数据线断线, 该方案则无法解决因数据线断 线而导致的不良显示问题。 发明内容
