The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and intended to be used for explaining the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.
The first embodiment is as follows:
the first embodiment of the present application provides an array substrate, which can be applied to a liquid crystal display device, but is not limited thereto.
The array substrate may include a substrate base substrate 600, and a plurality of pixel cells and a plurality of data lines 700 formed on the substrate base substrate 600.
As shown in fig. 2, a plurality of pixel units may be arranged on the substrate 600 in an array along a first direction X (i.e., a row direction) and a second direction Y (i.e., a column direction), a plurality of data lines 700 may extend in the column direction and be arranged at intervals in the row direction, and each data line 700 may be connected to one column of pixel units, but is not limited thereto, and may also be connected to two adjacent columns of pixel units, as the case may be.
It should be noted that the data line 700 may include a metal material or an alloy material, such as molybdenum, aluminum, titanium, etc., to ensure good conductivity.
In the present embodiment, the pixel unit may include a thin film transistor 100, a color resistance layer 200, and a pixel electrode 400.
For example, the plurality of pixel units of the present embodiment may include a red pixel unit, a green pixel unit, and a blue pixel unit, and it should be understood that the color corresponding to the color resist layer 200 in the red pixel unit is red, the color corresponding to the color resist layer 200 in the green pixel unit is green, and the color corresponding to the color resist layer 200 in the blue pixel unit is blue.
In the array substrate, the red pixel units, the green pixel units and the blue pixel units are sequentially arranged in the row direction, and the colors of the adjacent pixel units in the column direction are the same, that is, the arrangement of the pixel units in the array substrate can be that a column of red pixel units, a column of green pixel units and a column of blue pixel units are sequentially and alternately arranged in the row direction.
Since the color of a column of pixel cells is the same, namely: the color of the color resist layer 200 corresponding to a row of pixel units is the same, so the color resist layer 200 can be designed to be a strip-shaped structure extending in the row direction, and the color resist layer 200 corresponds to a row of pixel units.
Further, as shown in fig. 3, the thin film transistor 100 may include a gate 101, an active layer 103, a first pole 104a and a second pole 104b, and it should be noted that a first insulating layer 102 may be further disposed between the gate 101 and the active layer 103 to insulate the gate 101 and the active layer 103 from each other; the first insulating layer 102 can be made of inorganic materials, such as: inorganic materials such as silicon oxide and silicon nitride; in addition, the data line 700 is connected to the first pole 104a, and the first pole 104a, the second pole 104b and the data line 700 are disposed in the same layer, so that the process steps can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.
In this application, unless otherwise specified, the term "disposed on the same layer" is used to indicate that two layers, components, members, elements or portions can be formed by the same patterning process, and that the two layers, components, members, elements or portions are generally formed of the same material.
In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the expression "patterning process" generally includes the steps of coating of a photoresist, exposure, development, etching, stripping of the photoresist, and the like. The expression "one-time patterning process" means a process of forming a patterned layer, member, or the like using one mask plate.
The thin film transistor 100 may be a top gate type or a bottom gate type. In the embodiments of the present application, the thin film transistor 100 is mainly used as a bottom gate type.
When the thin film transistor 100 is a bottom gate type, the gate 101 is formed on the substrate 600, and the gate 101 may include a metal material or an alloy material, such as molybdenum, aluminum, and titanium, to ensure good conductivity; as shown in fig. 3, the first insulating layer 102 is formed on the substrate 600 and covers the gate 101, and the first insulating layer 102 can be made of inorganic materials, such as: inorganic materials such as silicon oxide and silicon nitride; the active layer 103 is formed on a side of the first insulating layer 102 facing away from the substrate 600, and the active layer 103 may include a hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si: H) layer and an N-type conductive layer formed at both ends of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer and doped at a high concentration; the first and second poles 104a and 104b are respectively connected to the N-type conductive layer with high concentration doping at two ends of the active layer 103, and the first and second poles 104a and 104b may include a metal material or an alloy material, such as a metal single layer or a multi-layer structure formed by molybdenum, aluminum, titanium, etc., for example, the multi-layer structure is a multi-metal layer stack, such as a titanium, aluminum, titanium three-layer metal stack (Al/Ti/Al), etc.

It should be noted that the notch 201 is opened at the edge of the color resist layer 200, is aligned with the edge line of the color resist layer 200, and has an open side away from the first pole 104 a; in contrast to the manner of providing a closed opening on the photoresist layer 200 shown in fig. 1 (i.e. the opening size is shown at c in fig. 1), the notch 201 shown in fig. 2 in this embodiment is not limited by the process capability (exposure minimum critical dimension) of the exposure apparatus, that is: the design difficulty of the notch 201 is reduced, and meanwhile, the influence on the station space of the thin film transistor 100 (the occupied space of the thin film transistor 100 can refer to the area a in fig. 1) in the design of the notch 201 can be reduced, that is, the station space of the thin film transistor 100 can be increased, so that the thin film transistor 100 can meet the requirements of corresponding products, and the display effect can be improved; for example, in the present embodiment, the notch 201 shown in fig. 2 is not limited by the minimum critical dimension of the exposure machine, so that the distance at the position b in fig. 1 does not need to be reserved, and thus a larger occupation space is provided for the thin film transistor 100 in the present embodiment, so that the manufactured thin film transistor 100 can meet the performance requirement of the product.
In addition, since the design of the notch 201 is not limited by the minimum critical dimension of exposure, when designing the notch 201, the size of the notch 201 should be reduced as much as possible while the size of the notch 201 satisfies the design rule of the corresponding product, that is, the size of the notch 201 only satisfies the minimum specified design, so that the design can reduce the space occupied by the notch 201, and also can satisfy the connection relationship between the pixel electrode 400 and the second electrode 104b, and further improve the standing space of the thin film transistor 100 and the display effect.
Further, a second insulating layer 105 is further disposed between the color resistance layer 200 and the thin film transistor 100, so that the thin film transistor 100 can be better protected by the second insulating layer 105, and the distance between the pixel electrode 400 and the thin film transistor 100 is increased, thereby reducing coupling and improving display effect.

Further, as shown in fig. 3, a third insulating layer 300 is further disposed between the pixel electrode 400 and the color resistance layer 200, on one hand, to better protect the thin film transistor 100 and the color resistance layer 200, and on the other hand, to increase the distance between the pixel electrode 400 and the thin film transistor 100, to reduce coupling and further improve the display effect.
Illustratively, the second insulating layer 105 and the third insulating layer 300 may be made of the same inorganic material as the first insulating layer 102, for example: inorganic materials such as silicon oxide and silicon nitride can insulate and isolate water and oxygen, thereby ensuring the performance of the thin film transistor 100.
Further, an alignment layer 500 is disposed on a side of the pixel electrode 400 away from the substrate 600; in addition, the edge of the color resistance layer 200 is provided with the opening-shaped notch 201, so that the opening-shaped notch is an open ring, which is beneficial to the downward leakage of PI (polyimide) liquid, the PI liquid in the alignment layer 500 is not easy to gather around the opening, the bad problems of mura (uneven display brightness) are avoided, and the display effect is further improved.

It should be noted that the second insulating layer 105 is disposed between the thin film transistor 100 and the color resistance layer 200, and the third insulating layer 300 is disposed between the color resistance layer 200 and the pixel electrode 400, so that the design increases the distance between the pixel electrode 400 and the thin film transistor 100, reduces coupling, and improves the display effect.
