具体实施方式
目前,在进行曲面LCD工艺时,通常将基板制作在玻璃(Glass)基板上,待TFT(thin-film transistor,薄膜晶体管)和CF(color filter,彩膜)对盒工艺完成后,将两边玻璃剥离,露出基板工程塑料进行弯曲制作,但这种工艺常会出现以下缺点:
1.进行激光剥离玻璃基板时,激光能量过高照射到P-Si(polycrystalline silicon,多晶硅)容易造成电学特性异常;
2.在进行弯曲时,容易造成层间介质层断裂进而造成SD(源漏极)金属线断裂,出现大量点线类不良。
鉴于上述问题,提出了本公开实施例以便提供一种至少部分地解决上述问题的一种阵列结构、显示装置以及阵列结构的制备方法。
为使本公开的目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本公开作进一步详细的说明。
参照图1,示出了本公开一种阵列基板的示意图之一。
本公开实施例提供了一种阵列基板,包括衬底101,层叠设置在所述衬底101上的柔性基膜(例如聚酰亚胺(PI)层)102、保护层103、缓冲层和薄膜晶体管各个功能层,所述薄膜晶体管的功能层包括层间介质层;其中,所述柔性基膜102贴附在所述衬底101上;所述层间介质层包括层叠设置的无机介质层105和有机介质层106。为清楚起见,将位于保护层103和介质层(无机介 质层105和有机介质层106)之间的相应层(缓冲层、栅极绝缘层等)统一用附图标记104表示。
本公开实施例中,所述阵列基板可以应用于柔性显示屏中。
如图2所示的传统阵列基板部分示意图,包括:衬底201、PI层202、缓冲层204和薄膜晶体管各个功能层,所述薄膜晶体管的功能层包括层间介质层205。在进行曲面LCD工艺时,该阵列基板的PI层202设置于衬底201上,在TFT和CF对盒工艺完成后,将衬底201进行激光剥离,露出PI层202后对对盒后的TFT和CF进行弯曲制作。其中,在进行激光剥离时,由于激光能量过高,照射到薄膜晶体管的多晶硅(有源层)上容易造成电学特性异常。参考图3,本公开的实施例在衬底301上的PI层302上设置保护层303,能够防止PI基受水汽及杂质影响同时能够吸收激光的能量,避免激光对多晶硅造成影响(起到隔离保护层作用)。
如图2所示的传统阵列基板示意图,由于层间介质层205为无机介质层,且厚度为0.55μm左右,在进行弯曲制作时,容易造成介质层的断裂进而造成SD金属线以及信号线断裂,出现大量点线类不良。而在本公开的实施例中,参照图4,其中404为薄膜晶体管的部分功能层(例如栅绝缘层),405为无机介质层,406为有机介质层。本实施例将层间介质层设置为无机介质层405和有机介质层406两层,并且将无机介质层405的厚度设置为0.1-0.3μm,减小了无机介质层的厚度,并且增加了有机介质层406,提升了介质层的延展性和平坦性,解决了在进行弯曲时传统层间介质层断裂的问题。
在一个具体的实施例中,参考图5,所示阵列基板包括层叠的衬底501、柔性基膜(例如PI层)502、保护层503、和薄膜晶体管阵列基板的各个功能层。所述功能层中包括作为薄膜晶体管的层间介质层的无机介质层505和有机介质层506,以所述层间介质层为界,薄膜晶体管的功能层还可以包括位于层间介质层靠近衬底一侧的有源层5041、栅绝缘层5044和栅极层5045;以及位于层间介质层远离衬底一侧的SD层5046。进一步地,阵列基板还可以包括位于有源层5041靠近衬底的一侧的遮光层5042和缓冲层5043,以及位于有机介质层506远离衬底的一侧的平坦化层507(例如亚克力平坦化层)、钝化层508、像素电极509和COM电极(公共电极)510。图5所示为具有顶栅结构的薄膜晶体管,薄膜晶体管也可以具有底栅结构。在底栅结构中,阵列基板不 包括遮光层。
可选的,所述保护层的材质包括氧化硅(SiOx),所述保护层的厚度范围包括0.2-0.3μm。
本公开实施例中,所述保护层用于防止薄膜晶体管的PI基受水汽及杂质的影响同时吸收激光能量,防止激光对P-Si造成电学特性的影响。本实施例中采用SiOx制作保护层,所述SiOx具有较好的绝热性能,在晶化过程(例如准分子激光退火(Excimer Laser Annealing,ELA)晶化过程)中可以减缓非晶硅(a-Si)的冷却速率,使晶粒尺寸增大、台阶覆盖力增强。本公开实施例中的保护层厚度范围包括0.2-0.3μm,当保护层的厚度小于0.2μm时,所述保护层的绝热性和吸收激光的能力可能不能完全避免激光对晶体管中的多晶硅造成的影响;当保护层的厚度大于0.3μm时,可能会影响所述薄膜晶体管阵列基板的厚度要求。
可选的,所述无机介质层的材质至少包括氮化硅(SiNx),所述无机介质层的厚度范围包括0.1-0.3μm;所述有机介质层的材质包括聚倍半硅氧烷感光树脂,所述有机介质层的厚度范围包括0.8-1.2μm。聚倍半硅氧烷感光树脂的主体组成为(RSiO 1.5)n,其高分子结构可呈梯形、树枝型或灯笼型等结构,具有更高的耐热性,绝缘性,平坦性。
本公开实施例中,所述无机介质层的材质可以包括SiNx或SiNx和SiOx。传统的介质层的材料为SiNx和/或SiOx,厚度在0.55微米左右,在进行弯曲时,由于介质层的厚度过厚,容易造成介质层断裂,进而造成设置在介质层上的SD金属线断裂。
本实施例中的介质层包括无机介质层和有机介质层,且无机介质层的厚度在0.1-0.3μm之间,由于减小了无机介质层的厚度,并且增加了有机介质层,能够提高介质层的延展性和平坦性,防止介质层的断裂。另外,有机介质层与SD层接触,可以对SD层提供缓冲作用。
本公开实施例中,所述保护层用于防止基板在进行其他工艺时受水汽及杂质的影响;同时用于在激光分离衬底时,隔绝热量、吸收激光能量,避免激光对薄膜晶体管中的多晶硅造成电学特性的影响。所述层间介质层包括无机介质层和有机介质层,相对于传统的层间介质层只包括无机介质层、且无机介质层比较厚的情形,本公开实施例将无机介质层的厚度减小,并增加了一层有机介 质层,提升了层间介质层的延展性和平坦性,能够防止层间介质层的断裂。
