Description

阵列基板及其制备方法、液晶盒、显示装置 技术领域
本公开涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种阵列基板及其制备方法、液晶盒、显示装置。
背景技术
液晶空间光调制器的工作原理是基于光学相控阵技术:通过外加电场控制液晶层的折射率,使不同位置的液晶层具有不同的折射率,因而液晶层不同位置之间会形成一定的相位差,可以通过适当的电场调节使得液晶层整体位置上的相位分布呈周期性的类似于光栅结构的形貌。即相当于使用液晶形成类似光栅结构的相位深度形貌,当光束入射至液晶层光栅相位面上时,光束会发生偏转,通过不同电场的调制,液晶层可以实现不同的相位深度形貌,光束便可以实现不同角度的偏转。
对于小尺寸液晶空间光调制器,液晶封装时往往不添加间隔物,仅通过周边封框胶和盒内的液晶分子实现盒厚支撑作用,但盒厚均一性较差,导致液晶空间光调制器光场调控时调控质量变差,容易出现画质不均、调制线性度不足等不良。

需要注意的是,附图中各图形的尺寸和形状不反映真实比例,目的只是示意说明本公开内容。并且自始至终相同或类似的标号表示相同或类似的元件或具有相同或类似功能的元件。
相关技术中,液晶盒包括阵列基板,当阵列基板包括需要相互绝缘的像素电极和公共电极,且公共电极位于像素电极和第一衬底基板之间时,像素电极至少需要通过贯穿两层绝缘膜层的过孔与薄膜晶体管电连接,由于过孔的存在,导致第一像素电极背离第一衬底基板一侧的表面不平坦,盒厚均一性较差,利用液晶盒进行光场调控时调控质量差。
基于相关技术存在的上述问题,本公开实施例提供了一种阵列基板,如图1~图9,所示,阵列基板包括:
第一衬底基板1;
多个薄膜晶体管2,位于第一衬底基板1的一侧;
第一平坦化层3,位于薄膜晶体管2背离第一衬底基板1的一侧;
公共电极4,位于第一平坦化层3背离薄膜晶体管2的一侧;
第一介质层5,位于公共电极4背离第一平坦化层3的一侧;
多个第一像素电极6,位于第一介质层5背离公共电极4的一侧;第一像 素电极6通过贯穿第一介质层5以及第一平坦化层4的第一过孔7与薄膜晶体管2一一对应电连接;第一像素电极6背离第一衬底基板1一侧的表面具有至少与第一过孔7对应的第一凹槽8;
多个平坦部9,位于第一凹槽8背离第一衬底基板1的一侧;平坦部9远离第一衬底基板1一侧的表面到第一衬底基板1的距离h1与第一像素电极6远离第一衬底基板1一侧表面到第一衬底基板1的距离h2大致相同。
需要说明的是,平坦部远离第一衬底基板一侧的表面到第一衬底基板的距离h1与第一像素电极远离第一衬底基板一侧表面到第一衬底基板的距离h2大致相同是指:|h1-h2|在误差允许范围内。即当|h1-h2|在误差允许范围内时,都可以看作平坦部远离第一衬底基板一侧的表面到第一衬底基板的距离h1与第一像素电极远离第一衬底基板一侧表面到第一衬底基板的距离h2相同,可以看作平坦部填平第一凹槽。在具体实施时,误差例如为0.3微米,即|h1-h2|小于等于0.3微米,都可以看作平坦部远离第一衬底基板一侧的表面到第一衬底基板的距离h1与第一像素电极远离第一衬底基板一侧表面到第一衬底基板的距离h2相同。
本公开实施例提供的阵列基板,平坦部远离第一衬底基板一侧的表面到第一衬底基板的距离与第一像素电极远离第一衬底基板一侧表面到第一衬底基板的距离大致相同,即利用平坦部填平第一像素电极在第一过孔区域具有的第一凹槽,可以提高阵列基板的厚度均一性。当阵列基板应用于液晶盒时,进而可以提高液晶盒厚均一性,提高液晶盒进行光场调控时的调控质量,避免出现画质不均、调制线性度不足。
在一些实施例中,如图1所示,阵列基板还包括:
多个第二像素电极10,位于第一像素电极6背离第一衬底基板1一侧,与第一像素电极6接触。
即本公开实施例提供的阵列基板中,在第一像素电极与平坦部形成的大致平坦表面的一侧设置第二像素电极。第二像素电极与第一像素电极可以看作叠层像素电极。
在具体实施时,本公开实施例提供的阵列基板可以应用于反射式液晶显示,也可以应用于透射式液晶显示。
在具体实施时,当本公开实施例提供的阵列基板应用于反射式液晶显示时,第二像素电极包括反射材料。即第二像素电极除了作为像素电极与公共电极之间形成的电场控制液晶发生偏转之外,还作为反射电极。
在一些实施例中,公共电极以及第一像素电极包括透明材料。即公共电极以及第一像素电极为透明电极。
或者,在一些实施例中,公共电极包括透明材料,第一像素电极包括反射材料。即第一像素电极与第二像素电极均为反射电极。在一些实施例中,第一像素电极与第二像素电极包括的材料可以相同。
在一些实施例中,透明材料例如为氧化铟锡(ITO),反射材料可为单层铝(Al)、单层Al合金、钛(Ti)/Al/Ti叠层、Ti/Al/氮化钛(TiN)叠层等。
在具体实施时,当本公开实施例提供的阵列基板应用于透射式液晶显示时,公共电极、第一像素电极以及第二像素电极均包括透明材料。公共电极、第一像素电极以及第二像素电极包括的材料可以相同,例如均为ITO。
在一些实施例中,第二像素电极与第一像素电极一一对应。
在一些实施例中,如图1、图2所示,第二像素电极10在第一衬底基板1的正投影覆盖第一像素电极6在第一衬底基板1的正投影。
需要说明的是,阵列基板包括多个像素单元,每个像素单元包括多个子像素单元,每个子像素单元包括一个薄膜晶体管和一个第一像素电极。相关技术中,当阵列基板应用于液晶盒时,第一像素电极与公共电极之间产生的电场控制液晶偏转以控制子像素透光。但由于第一像素电极需要通过第一过孔与薄膜晶体管电连接,第一过孔的深度一般大于1微米,第一过孔处的第一像素电极不平坦,该区域第一像素电极和公共电极之间产生的电场控制液晶分子偏转的形貌,与其余区域平坦的第一像素电极和公共电极之间产生的电场控制液晶分子偏转的形貌不同,因此,第一过孔处的第一像素电极无法控制液晶偏转实现透光,第一过孔对应的第一像素电极区域无法被利用。即 第一过孔对应的区域为非透光区。第一像素电极不平坦的区域的存在,严重影响子像素开口率。
本公开实施例提供的阵列基板,在第一像素电极背离第一衬底基板一侧还设置有第二像素电极,且第二像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影覆盖第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影,即第二像素电极覆盖第一像素电极和平坦部。由于平坦部大致填平第一凹槽,因此第二像素电极背离第一衬底基板一侧的表面大致为平面,当阵列基板应用于液晶显示产品时,无论是反射式液晶显示还是透射式液晶显示,第一凹槽对应的区域第二像素电极可以被利用控制液晶分子偏转以实现透光,可以提高子像素开口率。
在一些实施例中,如图1所示,第一像素电极6在第一衬底基板1的正投影落入第二像素电极10在第一衬底基板1的正投影内。
在具体实施时,如图1所示,第二像素电极10覆盖第一像素电极6的边缘。
在具体实施时,可以先沉积第一像素电极材料形成第一像素电极层并对第一像素电极层进行图形化工艺形成第一像素电极的图案,再形成平坦部的图案,之后再沉积第二像素电极材料形成第二像素电极层并对第二像素电极层进行图形化工艺形成第二像素电极的图案。
或者,在一些实施例中,如图2所示,第二像素电极10在第一衬底基板1的正投影与第一像素电极6在第一衬底基板1的正投影大致重叠。
需要说明的是,第二像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影与第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影大致重叠是指:第二像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘与第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘之差在误差允许范围内。即当第二像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘与第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘之差在误差允许范围内时,都可以看作第二像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影与第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影重叠。
在具体实施时,例如可以先沉积第一像素电极材料形成第一像素电极层, 再形成平坦部的图案,之后沉积第二像素电极材料形成第二像素电极层,再对第一像素电极层和第二像素电极层进行图形化工艺形成第二像素电极和第一像素电极的图案,即在形成第一像素电极层之后无需进行图形化处理,而在形成第二像素电极层之后通过一次图形化工艺形成在第一衬底基板上大致重叠的第二像素电极和第一像素电极的图案,可以节省一次图形化工艺,节省成本。
在一些实施例中,如图3所示,第一像素电极6与第二像素电极10包括的材料相同。当阵列基板应用与反射式液晶显示时,第一像素电极以及第二像素电极包括相同的反射材料;当阵列基板应用与透射式液晶显示时,第一像素电极以及第二像素电极包括相同的透明材料。从而,在形成第一像素电极层之后无需进行图形化处理,而在形成第二像素电极层之后通过一次图形化工艺形成在第一衬底基板上重叠的第二像素电极和第一像素电极的图案的工艺简单、易于实现。
在具体实施时,当阵列基板应用与反射式液晶显示时,第二像素电极也可以采用与图1~图3不同的设置方式。
在一些实施例中,如图4、图5所示,第二像素电极包括第一开口24,第一开口24在第一衬底基板1的正投影覆盖平坦部9在第一衬底基板的正投影。
即本公开实施例提供的阵列基板,第二像素电极露出平坦部。从而可以避免由于平坦部背离第一衬底基板一侧的表面具有微小凹陷或者微小凸起带来的反射电极微小不平坦导致反射光的杂散,可以提高反射式液晶显示效果。
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,第一开口24在第一衬底基板1的正投影与平坦部9在第一衬底基板的正投影大致交叠。
需要说明的是,第一开口在第一衬底基板的正投影与平坦部在第一衬底基板的正投影大致交叠是指,第一开口在第一衬底基板的正投影边缘与平坦部在第一衬底基板的正投影边缘之差在误差范围内。即当第一开口在第一衬底基板的正投影边缘与平坦部在第一衬底基板的正投影边缘之差在误差范围 内,均可以认为第一开口在第一衬底基板的正投影与平坦部在第一衬底基板的正投影交叠。
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,第二像素电极10在第一衬底基板1的正投影包围平坦部9在第一衬底基板1的正投影,且第二像素电极10在第一衬底基板1的正投影与平坦部9在第一衬底基板1的正投影拼接组成封闭图形。即第二像素电极10在第一衬底基板的正投影与平坦部9在第一衬底基板的正投影对应的区域不存在镂空区。如图5所示,第二像素电极10在第一衬底基板的正投影与平坦部9在第一衬底基板的正投影拼接组成封闭矩形。
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,第二像素电极10和平坦部9在第一衬底基板1的正投影覆盖第一像素电极6在第一衬底基板1的正投影。
在一些实施例中,如图4所示,第一像素电极6在第一衬底基板1的正投影落入第二像素电极10和平坦部9在第一衬底基板1的正投影内。
或者,如图6所示,在一些实施例中,第二像素电极10和平坦部9在第一衬底基板1的正投影与第一像素电极6在第一衬底基板1的正投影大致重叠。
需要说明的是,第二像素电极和平坦部在第一衬底基板的正投影与第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影大致重叠是指:第二像素电极和平坦部在第一衬底基板的正投影边缘与第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘之差在误差范围内。即当第二像素电极和平坦部在第一衬底基板的正投影边缘与第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘之差在误差范围内,均可以认为第二像素电极和平坦部在第一衬底基板的正投影与第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影重叠。
在具体实施时,例如可以先沉积第一像素电极材料形成第一像素电极层,再形成平坦部的图案,之后沉积第二像素电极材料形成第二像素电极层,再对第一像素电极层和第二像素电极层进行图形化工艺形成第二像素电极和第一像素电极的图案,即在形成第一像素电极层之后无需进行图形化处理,而在形成第二像素电极层之后通过一次图形化工艺形成在第一衬底基板上大致 重叠的第二像素电极和第一像素电极的图案,可以节省一次图形化工艺,节省成本。
在一些实施例中,如图1~图4、图6~图10所示,在垂直于第一衬底基板1的方向上,第一平坦化层3的厚度大于第一介质层5的厚度。
在一些实施例中,如图1~图4、图6所示,第一过孔7包括:贯穿第一平坦化层3的第一子过孔11以及贯穿第一介质层5的第二子过孔12。
在一些实施例中,如图1~图4、图6所示,第一介质层5覆盖第一子过孔11的部分区域,第二子过孔12在第一衬底基板1的正投影位于第一子过孔11在第一衬底基板1的正投影内,第二子过孔12位于第一子过孔11内。
在具体实施时,例如先形成第一平坦化层并进行图形化工艺形成第一子过孔,之后形成公共电极的图案,再之后形成第一介质层并进行图形化工艺形成第二子过孔。即本公开实施例提供的阵列基板,第一子过孔与第二子过孔为套孔,第二子过孔的面积小于第一子过孔的面积且第二子过孔位于第一子过孔内。在一些实施例中,第一平坦化层的材料为有机材料,第一介质层的材料为无机材料。有机材料例如可以是光敏树脂。无机材料可以为氮化硅(SiN)、氧化硅(SiO2)、或SiN/SiO2叠层。
在一些实施例中,如图1~图4、图6所示,第一过孔7在垂直于第一衬底基板1方向的截面的形状为边数大于四的多边形。
或者,在一些实施例中,如图7~图10所示,第一子过孔11在第一衬底基板1的正投影位于第二子过孔12在第一衬底基板1的正投影内。
在一些实施例中,如图7、图8所示,在第一像素电极6指向第一衬底基板1的方向上,第一子过孔11平行于第一衬底基板所在平面方向上的截面面积逐渐减小,第二子过孔12平行于第一衬底基板所在平面方向上的截面面积逐渐减小,且第一子过孔11平行于第一衬底基板所在平面方向上的截面的最大面积等于第二子过孔12平行于第一衬底基板所在平面方向上的截面最小面积。
在具体实施时,例如先形成第一平坦化层,之后形成公共电极的图案, 再之后形成第一介质层并对第一介质层和第一平坦化层进行图形化工艺形成第二子过孔、第一子过孔。即通过一次图形化工艺形成第二子过孔、第一子过孔,可以节省阵列基板制备工艺流程。在一些实施例中,第一平坦化层的材料为无机材料,第一介质层的材料为无机材料。第一平坦化层包括的无机材料例如可以为SiO 2;第一介质层包括的无机材料可以为SiN、SiO 2、或SiN/SiO 2叠层。
在具体实施时,对于如图7、图8所示的阵列基板,通过一次图形化工艺形成第二子过孔、第一子过孔,且通过一次图形化工艺形成第二像素电极和第一像素电极的图案,可以节省两次图形化工艺流程。
需要说明的是,图7、图8中,以第一过孔7在垂直于第一衬底基板1方向的截面的形状为梯形为例进行举例说明,相应的,第一凹槽8在垂直于第一衬底基板1方向的截面的形状为梯形,平坦部9在垂直于第一衬底基板1方向的截面的形状为梯形。当然,在具体实施时,当第一平坦化层的材料与第一介质层的材料不同时,第一子过孔与第一衬底基板所在平面之间的夹角角度可能与第二子过孔与第一衬底基板所在平面之间的夹角角度不同,即第一过孔在垂直于第一衬底基板方向的截面的形状为六边形。
需要说明的是,图7中第二像素电极覆盖平坦部,图8中第二像素电极露出平坦部。
需要说明的是,相比于通过两次图形化工艺形成的包括第二子过孔、第一子过孔的第一过孔,通过一次图形化工艺形成的包括第二子过孔、第一子过孔的第一过孔形状的形状更规则,相应的,第一凹槽的形状也更规则,可以减小第一凹槽在平行于第一衬底基板所在平面方向上的最大面积,对于第二像素电极露出平坦部的方案,可以减小无法用于控制液晶偏转以实现透光的区域,从而可以增大开口率。在具体实施时,第一过孔在平行于第一衬底基板所在平面方向上的最大例如为3微米。
在一些实施例中,如图9、图10所示,在第一像素电极6指向第一衬底基板1的方向上,第一子过孔11平行于第一衬底基板所在平面方向上的截面 面积逐渐减小,第二子过孔12平行于第一衬底基板所在平面方向上的截面面积逐渐减小,且第一子过孔11的平行于第一衬底基板所在平面方向上的截面的最大面积大于第二子过孔12的平行于第一衬底基板所在平面方向上的截面的最小面积;
阵列基板还包括:
多个第一连接电极23,与公共电极4同层设置且覆盖第一子过孔11;第一连接电极23与第一像素电极6以及薄膜晶体管2接触。
即第一像素电极通过与公共电极同层设置的第一连接电极与薄膜晶体管电连接。
需要说明的是,图9中第二像素电极覆盖平坦部,图10中第二像素电极露出平坦部。
本公开实施例提供的阵列基板,在形成公共电极的图案的同时还在第一过孔形成第一连接电极的图案,从而第一像素电极与薄膜晶体管电连接的工艺简单易于实现,还可以避免由于第一过孔较深、直接通过第一像素电极与薄膜晶体管接触导致的搭接断线,可以提高阵列基板良率。
在一些实施例中,如图9、图10所示,第一子过孔11在第一衬底基板1的正投影的面积小于第一连接电极23在第一衬底基板1的正投影的面积,且第一子过孔11在第一衬底基板1的正投影落入第一连接电极23在第一衬底基板11的正投影内。即第一连接电极除了覆盖第一子过孔的区域,还覆盖部分第一平坦化层。
在一些实施例中,第一子过孔在第一衬底基板的正投影的宽度大于等于3微米且小于等于4微米。即第一子过孔的尺寸较小。对于第二像素电极露出平坦部的情况,可以减小无法用于控制液晶偏转以实现透光的区域,从而可以增大开口率。
在具体实施时,第一平坦化层的材料为有机材料,第一介质层的材料为无机材料。有机材料例如可以是光敏树脂。无机材料可以为氮化硅(SiN)、氧化硅(SiO 2)、或SiN/SiO 2叠层。
在一些实施例中,当阵列基板应用与反射式液晶显示时,如图11~图14所示,阵列基板还包括:
第一保护层13,位于第二像素电极10背离第一衬底基板1的一侧;
多个浮置反射图案22,位于第一保护层13背离第二像素电极10的一侧;浮置反射图案22在第一衬底基板1的正投影覆盖相邻第二像素电极10在第一衬底基板1的正投影之间的间隙。
本公开实施例提供的阵列基板,设置覆盖相邻第二像素电极之间的间隙的浮置反射图案,可以增加反射膜层的覆盖面积,从而可以增加反射率。
在一些实施例中,如图11~图14所示,浮置反射图案22在第一衬底基板1的正投影与第二像素电极10在第一衬底基板1的正投影具有交叠。
在具体实施时,在相邻两个第二像素电极的排列方向上,浮置反射图案在第一衬底基板的正投影与第二像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影交叠区域的宽度约为1微米。
在一些实施例中,当阵列基板包括第二像素电极时,相邻两个第二像素电极之间的距离大于0且小于或等于2.5微米。即相邻两个第二像素电极之间的距离较小,从而可以增加反射率。
需要说明的是,在具体实施时,不设置第二像素电极,也可以实现反射式液晶显示,在一些实施例中,如图15所示,阵列基板包括公共电极4以及第一像素电极6,第一像素电极6背离第一衬底基板1一侧未设置第二像素电极,公共电极的材料包括反射材料,第一像素电极的材料包括透明材料。即公共电极还作为反射电极。从而可以减小阵列基板的厚度、减少阵列基板制备工艺流程。
在一些实施例中,如图1~图4、图6~图15、图16所示,薄膜晶体管2包括:有源层17,栅极G,源极S和漏极D;漏极D与第一像素电极6电连接。
在一些实施例中,漏极包括透明材料。
需要说明的是,由于漏极与第一像素电极电连接,通常情况漏极靠近相 邻第一像素电极之间的间隙,漏极采用常规的金属材料时,容易造成相邻第一像素电极之间间隙附近反光。本公开实施例提供的阵列基板,漏极包括透明材料,从而可以避免相邻第一像素电极之间间隙附近漏极反光。
在一些实施例中,如图1~图4、图6~图15所示,源极S与漏极D同层设置。
或者,在一些实施例中,如图16所示,源极S位于漏极D与第一衬底基板1之间。
即本公开实施例中,源极与漏极设置于不同导电层,这样,即便减小源极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘与漏极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘之间的距离,也不会造成源极与漏极之间短路,可以简化阵列基板版图的设计难度。并且减小源极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘与漏极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘之间的距离还可以减小子像素单元的尺寸,有利于实现高像素密度,从而可以提高分辨率,有利于实现高分辨率显示。
在一些实施例中,本公开实施例提供的阵列基板的像素密度大于或等于1000。即本公开实施例提供的阵列基板可以应用于高分辨率显示产品。需要说明的是,当像素密度为1000时,阵列基板应用于显示产品的分辨率例如为2000×2000。为了实现更高分辨率,还可以进一步提高阵列基板像素密度,例如像素密度可以大于或等于2500、甚至大于或等于4000。
在一些实施例中,如图1~图4、图6~图15、图16所示,有源层17位于漏极D和第一衬底基板1之间;

需要说明的是,考虑到对位偏差以及第一过孔、第一像素电极的尺寸偏差,实际制作中第一过孔在第一衬底基板的正投影的至少一个边缘与第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘具有重叠区域不易实现。因此,在一些实施例中,可以设计为如图17、图28所示,第一过孔7在第一衬底基板的正投影靠近第一像素电极6的边缘与第一像素电极6在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘之间具有一定距离。当第一过孔在第一衬底基板的正投影靠近第一像素电极的边缘与第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘之间具有一定距离、且距离较小时,第一过孔在第一衬底基板的正投影仍靠近第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘,仍可以保证第一像素电极大部分区域的平坦性。
需要说明的是,图28以第一子过孔11在第一衬底基板的正投影落入第二子过孔12在第一衬底基板的正投影内为例进行举例说明,第一过孔7在第一衬底基板的正投影靠近第一像素电极6的边缘即为第一子过孔11在第一衬底基板的正投影靠近第一像素电极6的边缘。图28中h3、h4即为第一子过孔11在第一衬底基板的正投影靠近第一像素电极6的边缘与第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘之间的距离。
在一些实施例中,第一过孔在第一衬底基板的正投影靠近第一像素电极的边缘与第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘之间的最小距离小于等于1.5微米。即第一过孔在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘与第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘之间的距离较近,仍可以保证第一像素电极大部分区域的平坦性。尤其是对于未设置第二像素电极或第二像素电极具有第一开口的方案,保证第一像素电极大部分区域的平坦性可以保证开口率。
在一些实施例中,如图28所示,第一过孔7在第一衬底基板的正投影靠近第一像素电极6在第一衬底基板的正投影的矩形的其中一个直角。即第一过孔在第一衬底基板的正投影靠近第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影的矩形的其中一个直角的每个边缘与第一像素电极在第一衬底基板的正投影的边缘之间的距离均小于等于1.5微米。

在一些实施例中,如图17所示,在第二方向Y上,第二部分35的宽度小于扫描线29的宽度。
从而可以通过调节第二部分、扫描线之间的宽度来调节有源层沟道区的宽长比,使得有源层沟道区的宽长比满足所需的薄膜晶体管的驱动电流的要求。
