缓冲层11可以为一层或多层结构。示例的,缓冲层11为一层结构, 缓冲层11的材料例如可以包括氧化硅(SiOx)或氮化硅(SiNx)等。又示例的,缓冲层11为两层或两层以上的结构,缓冲层11包括至少一层氧化硅层和至少一层氮化硅层。
层间介质层15设置于多根栅线1与多根数据线2之间。
层间介质层15可以为一层或多层结构。示例的,层间介质层15为一层结构,层间介质层15的材料例如可以包括氧化硅(SiOx)或氮化硅(SiNx)等。又示例的,层间介质层15为两层或两层以上的结构,层间介质层15包括至少一层氧化硅层和至少一层氮化硅层。
参见图8及图9所示,相关技术中,多根栅线1与多根第一数据线2’交叉设置,第一数据线2’位于栅线1远离衬底10的一侧,栅线1与第一数据线2’之间设置有隔离层16’,隔离层16’包括第一层间介质层15”和第一缓冲层11”。
由于栅线1的长度较长,尤其是大尺寸显示面板中,栅线1的长度更长,导致严重的压降问题。
由于压降的大小与导线的横截面积成反比(ΔU=L/(σ*S),ΔU为导线的压降,L为导线长度,σ为导线材料的电导率,S为导线的横截面积),由此可见,为了降低上述压降,在栅线的材料选用具有较高的电导率σ的材料的情况下,可以通过增加栅线的横截面面积来实现降低上述压降的目的。基于此,在不会降低显示面板开口率的前提下,可以在衬底厚度方向上增大栅线1的厚度。在此情况下,由于栅线1的厚度较大,使得隔离层16’覆盖栅线1的部分相较于该绝缘层16’未覆盖栅线1的部分产生较大的段差。由此可见,栅线1的厚度越大,隔离层16’的段差便越大,较大的段差会导致隔离层16’的厚度不均匀,从而导致隔离层16’覆盖栅线1的部分较薄甚至一部分栅线1未被隔离层16’覆盖,使得隔离层16’对栅线1的覆盖率下降。
在此情况下,在隔离层16’上形成第一数据线2’时,由于隔离层16’的段差较大,一方面,第一数据线2’存在断线的风险;另一方面,由于栅线1和第一数据线2’分别设置在隔离层16’的两侧,由于隔离层16’的厚度不均匀,在栅线1和第一数据线2’交叠的位置周围,很容易因ESD(Electro-Static Discharge,静电放电)导致栅线1中的金属粒子穿过隔离层16’中厚度较小的部分漂移至第一数据线2’,从而使得第一数据线2’与栅线1发生DGS(Data Gate Short,数据线栅线短路)不良。
此外,由于工艺条件限制,位于栅线1与衬底10之间的膜层中存在 颗粒,使得栅线1的远离衬底10的表面不均匀,从而导致隔离层16’的不均匀,由此便进一步增大了隔离层16’的段差以及第一数据线2’的段差,使得产品良率进一步降低。
在本公开实施例提供的阵列基板200中,数据线2在第一方向上包括多个第一线段21以及多个第二线段22,多个第一线段21位于栅线1远离衬底10的一侧,多个第二线段22位于栅线1靠近衬底10的一侧,且绝缘层16包括多个第一过孔81,这使得第一方向上每相邻两个第一线段21通过至少两个第一过孔81与位于该相邻两个第一线段21之间的一个第二线段22电连接,从而使得第一方向上电连接的多个第一线段21和多个第二线段22形成一根数据线2。由于多个第一线段21在衬底10上的正投影与数据线2在衬底10上的正投影无交叠,每相邻两个第一线段21通过位于栅线1靠近衬底10一侧的第二线段22连接(即,数据线2在与栅线1交叠的部分从栅线1与衬底10之间穿过),因而,数据线2不会上跨栅线1。由此,本公开实施例提供的阵列基板200,有效避免了由于栅线1厚度大或者膜层颗粒导致的数据线断线、DGS等不良问题的出现,有效提高了产品良率。
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,衬底10具有多个亚像素区P,阵列基板200还包括多个像素电路30,每个像素电路30设置于一个亚像素区P中,该像素电路30与一根栅线1以及一根数据线2电连接。
结合图4和图5所示,该像素电路30包括第一开关晶体管31。第一开关晶体管31包括第一栅极311、第一源极312、第一漏极313、第一有源层314、以及第一栅绝缘图案315。
第一开关晶体管31的第一栅极311与连接该像素电路30的栅线1同层同材料,第一开关晶体管31的第一源极312以及第一漏极313与第一线段21同层同材料。第一开关晶体管31的第一有源层314在衬底10上的正投影位于第一栅极311在衬底10上的正投影的范围内。
在一些示例中,如图5所示,第一开关晶体管31为顶栅型薄膜晶体管。在此情况下,第一开关晶体管31的第一有源层314位于第一栅极311靠近衬底10的一侧,层间介质层15位于第一源极312和第一漏极313所在层和栅极311之间,第一源极312和第一漏极313分别通过贯穿层间介质层15的第一连接过孔84与第一开关晶体管31的第一有源层314电连接。
在另一些示例中,第一开关晶体管31为底栅型薄膜晶体管。在此情 况下,第一开关晶体管31的第一有源层314位于第一栅极311远离衬底10的一侧,层间介质层15位于第一源极312和第一漏极313所在层与第一有源层314之间,第一源极312和第一漏极313分别通过贯穿层间介质层15的第一连接过孔84与第一开关晶体管31的第一有源层314电连接。此处,层间介质层15也可称为刻蚀阻挡层。
示例的,第一栅极311和栅线1的材料包括铜(Cu)、铝(Al)、钼(Mo)、钛(Ti)、铬(Cr)和钨(W)等金属单质中的至少一种。即栅极311和栅线1可以由上述金属单质中的一种制成,或者由上述金属单质中的两种或两种以上金属单质构成的金属合金制成。
第一线段21、第一开关晶体管31的第一源极312以及第一漏极313的材料可以包括铜(Cu)或铝(Al)等金属单质。
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,沿第二方向(即行方向X),第二线段22的宽度大于第一线段21的宽度。这样,可以保证第一线段21和第二线段22电连接的良率。
在一些实施例中,如图5所示,第一开关晶体管31为顶栅型薄膜晶体管。阵列基板200还包括:设置于衬底10上的多个第一金属遮光图案12。每个第一金属遮光图案12设置在对应的一个像素电路中第一开关晶体管31靠近衬底10的一侧。由于晶体管的有源层对对光线较为敏感,在受到光照时电学性能易改变,因此设置第一开关晶体管31的第一有源层314的正投影位于第一金属遮光图案12在衬底10上的正投影的范围内,以使第一金属遮光图案12能够对射向第一有源层314的光线进行遮挡。
多个第二线段22与多个第一金属遮光图案12同层同材料,且相互绝缘。在一些示例中,沿衬底10的厚度方向,第二线段22的厚度等于第一金属遮光图案12的厚度。这样,尽可能减小位于第二线段22和第一金属遮光图案12一侧的缓冲层11的段差,防止由于缓冲层11的段差较大影响显示面板的产品良率。
第二线段22与第一金属遮光图案12的材料例如包括钼、铝等金属材料,具有遮光效果。第一有源层314的材料例如包括氧化铟镓锌(IGZO)、氧化铟镓(IGO)、氧化铟锡锌(ITZO)、氧化铝锌(AlZnO)、氧化锌(ZnO)或氧化镓锌(GZO)等金属氧化物。
可选的,如图5所示,绝缘层16还包括多个第二过孔82,第一开关晶体管31的第一源极312和第一漏极313中的其中一极通过至少一个 第二过孔82与第一金属遮光图案12电连接。
在一些示例中,如图5和图10所示,第一开关晶体管31的第一漏极313通过第二过孔82与第一金属遮光图案12电连接。
在另一些示例中,如图11所示,第一开关晶体管31的第一源极312通过第二过孔82与第一金属遮光图案12电连接。
第一开关晶体管31的第一源极312或第一漏极313与第一金属遮光图案12电连接,且第一源极312和第一漏极313还与第一开关晶体管31的第一有源层314电连接。这样,可以让第一金属遮光图案12上的感应电荷流向第一源极312和第一漏极313,避免对第一开关晶体管31的影响,并且,使得第一开关晶体管31的第一有源层314、第一源极312和第一漏极313处于同一电势,从而提升第一开关晶体管31的电学稳定性,改善第一开关晶体管31的电学性能。
在一些实施例中,如图12-图13所示,阵列基板200还包括设置于衬底10上的多个像素电极50,每个像素电极50设置于一亚像素区P中。
结合图12-图13所示,第一开关晶体管31的第一漏极313与像素电极50电连接。像素电极50设置于第一开关晶体管31的第一漏极313远离衬底10的一侧。

在一些示例中,钝化层34的材料可以包括无机材料,例如氮化硅;有机绝缘层35的材料可以包括有机高分子材料,例如亚克力。
在一些实施例中,如图14以及图15所示,阵列基板200还包括:设置于衬底10上的多个发光器件40,每个发光器件40设置于一个亚像素区P中,且发光器件40与位于亚像素区P中的一个像素电路30连接。
在一些实施例中,如图6所示,像素电路30还包括一个驱动晶体管32,驱动晶体管32为上述顶栅型薄膜晶体管。
如图7所示,驱动晶体管32包括第二有源层324、设置于第二有源层324远离衬底10一侧的第二栅绝缘图案325和第二栅极321、以第二源极322和第二漏极323。第二源极322和第二漏极323分别通过层间绝缘层15中的至少一个第二连接过孔85与驱动晶体管32的第二有源层 324接触。第二有源层324的材料例如包括氧化铟镓锌(IGZO)、氧化铟镓(IGO)、氧化铟锡锌(ITZO)、氧化铝锌(AlZnO)、氧化锌(ZnO)、氧化镓锌(GZO)等金属氧化物。

在一些实施例中,如图7所示,驱动晶体管32的第二源极322和第二漏极323中的其中一极通过一个第四过孔86与位于驱动晶体管32靠近衬底10一侧的第二金属遮光图案13电连接。在一些实施例中,如图6以及图7所示,阵列基板200还包括:与多个像素电路30电连接的多根电源线9。电源线9沿第一方向Y延伸。
多根电源线9中的一根电源线9包括沿第一方向延伸的多个第三线段91和多个第四线段92,且该多个第三线段91和该多个第四线段92交替排布。示例的,每根电源线9包括沿第一方向延伸的多个第三线段91和多个第四线段92,且该多个第三线段91和该多个第四线段92交替排布。
