背景技术
这里的陈述仅提供与本申请有关的背景信息,而不必然地构成现有技术。
目前LCD(Liquid Crystal Display,液晶显示器)面板作为最广泛使用的显示器之一,可为各种电子设备如移动电话、个人数字助理(PDA)、数字相机以及计算机等提供高分辨率彩色屏幕。其中FFS(Fringe Field Switching,边缘场开关技术)液晶显示装置以及其广视角、高开口率等特点受到广大用户的喜爱。
目前普遍采用的FFS液晶显示装置,通常可以包括上基板、下基板以及上下基板之间的液晶层。其中下基板上一般设置有像素电极和公共电极,像素电极和公共电极可分别为平面状或者具有狭缝结构;为了增大穿透率,一般公共电极和像素电极制作在不同层别。当前设计为了稳定公共电极上的电位,一般会采用一层金属串联同一条栅极线的像素,同时使该层金属输入 COM信号,然后通过直接接触公共电极或者通过挖孔的方式连接至公共电极,以此来保证公共电极的电位稳定。但是不管上述哪种接触方式,都会损失开口率。

基板;
栅极,形成于所述基板上;

请参照图1,为一实施例中的主动开关的结构示意图;该主动开关可以包括:基板10,栅极20,栅极绝缘层30,氧化物半导体层40,源极510、 漏极520,第一保护层60,平坦层70,公共电极80及电极稳定层90。其中,栅极20形成于基板10上;栅极绝缘层30形成于基板10上、并覆盖栅极20;氧化物半导体层40形成于栅极绝缘层30对应于栅极的上方;源极510、漏极520形成于氧化物半导体层40的两侧边沿上;第一保护层60形成于源极510、漏极520上;平坦层70形成于第一保护层60上;公共电极80形成于平坦层70对应于栅极20的上方;电极稳定层90形成于公共电极80上;其中,电极稳定层90在基板10上的投影与栅极20在基板10上的投影有交叠。
上述实施例,通过在平坦层上形成公共电极,并且使电极稳定层直接与公共电极接触,一方面可以保证公共电极的电位稳定,另一方面,由于电极稳定层在基板上的投影与栅极在基板上的投影有交叠,也即是说,当光线由背光板发射出来时,栅极会遮挡住一部分的光线,由于电极稳定层和栅极在垂直方向上有交叠,所以栅极遮挡的光线和电极稳定层遮挡的光线就会有重合,那么,这样设置(电极稳定层在基板上的投影与栅极在基板上的投影有交叠)就可以让电极稳定层不会过多的影响光线的透过,从而减小开口率的损失。
基板10可以是玻璃基板或塑料基板,其中,玻璃基板可以为无碱硼硅酸盐超薄玻璃,无碱硼硅酸盐玻璃具有较高的物理特性、较好的耐腐蚀性能、较高的热稳定性以及较低的密度和较高的弹性模量。

电极稳定层90形成于公共电极80上;其中,电极稳定层90在基板10上的投影与栅极20在基板10上的投影有交叠。换句话说,当光线由背光板发射出来时,栅极20由于采用的是不透光的金属制成,所以会遮挡住一部分的光线,由于电极稳定层90和栅极20在垂直于基板的方向上有交叠,所以栅极20遮挡的光线和电极稳定层90遮挡的光线就会有重合,那么,这样设置(电极稳定层在基板上的投影与栅极在基板上的投影有交 叠)就可以让电极稳定层90不会过多的影响光线的透过,从而减少开口率的损失。电极稳定层90的材料可以为钼、钛、铝和铜中的一种或者多种的堆栈组合;选用钼、钛、铝和铜作为栅极20材料可以保证良好的导电性能。可以理解,电极稳定层90的材料可以根据实际应用情况以及产品性能进行选择和调整,在此不作进一步的限定。电极稳定层90的厚度范围可以为1000埃-6000埃,可选地,电极稳定层90的厚度可以为1000埃-3500埃,进一步地,电极稳定层90的厚度可以为3500埃-6000埃。可以理解,电极稳定层90的厚度可以根据实际应用情况以及产品性能进行选择和调整,在此不作进一步的限定。由于栅极20与电极稳定层90之间夹有平坦层70,并且平坦层70的厚度为2000纳米-3000纳米,也即是栅极和电极稳定层之间的距离很远,所以栅极线上的负载不会有太大的影响。进一步地,由于电极稳定层90直接与公共电极80接触,所以可以将原先与栅极20平行的金属走线(COM信号)省去,增大开口率。

步骤S60,在所述平坦层上沉积第三金属层,对所述第三金属层进行刻蚀以形成对应于所述栅极上方的公共电极。
具体地,请辅助参阅图9,在平坦层70上沉积形成第三金属层(图9未标示),对第三金属层的形成工艺可以包括射频磁控溅射、热蒸发、真空电子束蒸发以及等离子增强化学气相沉积工艺。可以理解,第三金属层的形成工艺可以根据实际应用情况以及产品性能进行选择和调整,在此不作 进一步的限定。对第三金属层进行刻蚀以形成对应于栅极20上方的公共电极80。具体地,可在第三金属层的上方涂布一层光阻层(图9未标示),然后采用一道光罩工艺对光阻层进行图案化处理,得到具有预设图案的光刻胶(图9未标示),在此基础上,采用湿法刻蚀工艺对第三金属层进行刻蚀以形成对应于栅极20上方的公共电极80。

进一步地,请继续参阅图11,主动开关还可以包括第二保护层100以及像素电极110;其中,第二保护层100形成于电极稳定层90上;像素电极110形成于第二保护层100上,像素电极110通过贯穿第二保护层100、平坦层70及第一保护层60的过孔H1与漏极520连接。具体地,第二保护层100可以为氧化硅、氮化硅中的一种或者二者的组合,即保护绝缘层90可以是氧化硅,也可以是氮化硅,还可以是氧化硅和氮化硅的混合物。可以理解,第二保护层100的材料可以根据实际应用情况以及产品性能进行选择和调整,在此不作进一步的限定。像素电极100的形成工艺可以包括射频磁控溅射、热蒸发、真空电子束蒸发以及等离子增强化学气相沉积工艺。可以理解,像素电极100的形成工艺可以根据实际应用情况以及产品性能进行选择和调整,在此不作进一步的限定。像素电极100可以为铟 锡氧化物、铟锌氧化物、铝锡氧化物、铝锌氧化物、铟锗锌氧化物中的一种或多种。像素电极110与漏极520通过贯穿第二保护层100、平坦层70及第一保护层60的过孔H1电连接。“贯穿”可通过光刻或刻蚀工艺形成,具体的,光刻是指使用带有某一层设计图形的掩模版,经过曝光和显影,使光敏的光刻胶在衬底上形成三维浮雕图形。刻蚀是指在光刻胶掩蔽下,根据需要形成微图形的膜层不同,采用不同的刻蚀物质和方法在膜层上进行选择性刻蚀。这样,去掉光刻胶以后,三维设计图形就转移到了衬底的相关膜层上。
上述阵列基板,由于采用前述所述的主动开关,该主动开关通过在平坦层上形成公共电极,并且使电极稳定层直接与公共电极接触,一方面可以保证公共电极的电位稳定,另一方面,由于电极稳定层在基板上的投影与栅极在基板上的投影有交叠,也即是说,当光线由背光板发射出来时,栅极会遮挡住一部分的光线,由于电极稳定层和栅极在垂直方向上有交叠,所以栅极遮挡的光线和电极稳定层遮挡的光线就会有重合,那么,这样设置(电极稳定层在基板上的投影与栅极在基板上的投影有交叠)就可以让电极稳定层不会过多的影响光线的透过,从而减小开口率的损失。
还提供一种显示装置,包括前述所述的阵列基板,该阵列基板由于采用前述所述的主动开关,该主动开关通过在平坦层上形成公共电极,并且使电极稳定层直接与公共电极接触,一方面可以保证公共电极的电位稳定,另一方面,由于电极稳定层在基板上的投影与栅极在基板上的投影有交叠,也即是说,当光线由背光板发射出来时,栅极会遮挡住一部分的光线,由于电极稳定层和栅极在垂直方向上有交叠,所以栅极遮挡的光线和电极稳定层遮挡的光线就会有重合,那么,这样设置(电极稳定层在基板上的投 影与栅极在基板上的投影有交叠)就可以让电极稳定层不会过多的影响光线的透过,从而减小开口率的损失。
以上所述实施例的各技术特征可以进行任意的组合,为使描述简洁,未对上述实施例中的各个技术特征所有可能的组合都进行描述,然而,只要这些技术特征的组合不存在矛盾,都应当认为是本说明书记载的范围。
以上所述实施例仅表达了本申请的几种实施方式,其描述较为具体和详细,但并不能因此而理解为对申请专利范围的限制。应当指出的是,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本申请构思的前提下,还可以做出若干变形和改进,这些都属于本申请的保护范围。因此,本申请专利的保护范围应以所附权利要求为准。
