- the array substrate 10 may further include a data line; the transparent electrode retention pattern 60 corresponds to the source 204 and the data line, and the transparent electrode retention pattern 60 may also pass through the location A via above the data line is electrically coupled to the data line.
- the source 204 is electrically connected to the data line; on the other hand, the transparent electrode retention pattern 60 is electrically connected to the source 204 and to the data line, that is, The electrical connection between the source 204 and the data line can also be achieved by the transparent electrode retention pattern 60.
- the function of the data line and the source 204 can also be realized by the transparent electrode retention pattern 60 corresponding to the data line, such that the source A double insurance connection is achieved between the 204 and the data line.
- the thin film transistor 20 includes the semiconductor active layer 203.
- the semiconductor active layer 203 may include an amorphous silicon layer and an n+ amorphous silicon layer; or the semiconductor active layer 203 may include a metal oxide semiconductor active layer.
- the semiconductor active layer 203 may further include other types of active layers, such as a polysilicon active layer, a low temperature polysilicon active layer.
- the embodiment of the invention further provides a display device comprising the array substrate 10 described above.
- the display device provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be: a product or a component having any display function such as a liquid crystal panel, an organic electroluminescent device (OLED), an electronic paper, a liquid crystal television, a liquid crystal display, a digital photo frame, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or the like.
- a display function such as a liquid crystal panel, an organic electroluminescent device (OLED), an electronic paper, a liquid crystal television, a liquid crystal display, a digital photo frame, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or the like.
- drain electrode 205 connected to the pixel electrode 50 as an example, those skilled in the art will understand that the source and drain electrodes 205 of the thin film transistor are interchangeable in structure and composition. Alternatively, the source 204 can be connected to the pixel electrode 50, which is an equivalent transformation of the above-described embodiment of the present invention.
