Abstract

The present invention provides a TFT substrate, comprising a substrate, a buffer layer, an active layer and a gate insulating layer laminated on the surface of one side of the substrate in sequence, the surface of the buffer layer facing away from the substrate has an opening, and the active layer fills the The opening, and the surface of the active layer away from the substrate is in direct contact with the surface of the gate insulating layer. The buffer layer of the TFT substrate provided by the present invention has an opening, and a part or all of the active layer is embedded in the opening, so that the steps at the edge of the active layer are low and gentle, and the gate insulating layer is formed between the main body area and the edge of the active layer. The thickness is relatively uniform, thereby effectively alleviating the hump effect caused by the uneven thickness of the gate insulating layer, improving the opening speed of the device, and improving the reliability of the device; and because the step of the edge of the TFT active layer in the present invention is smaller Low and gentle, the coverage of the gate insulating film layer is good, so the problem of gate-source short circuit caused by the "undercut" at the edge of the active layer is excellently improved, and the reliability of the device is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of display panels, and more specifically, to a TFT substrate, a manufacturing method thereof, and a display panel. Background technique [0002] The display panel mainly includes two categories: LCD display panel (Liquid Crystal Display, liquid crystal display panel) and OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode, organic light-emitting diode) display panel, TFT (Thin Film Transistor, thin film field effect transistor) substrate as the display panel The core components, its performance is particularly important. [0003] The TFT substrate is generally formed by manufacturing a plurality of TFTs arranged in an array on the substrate. According to different materials, there are many types of TFTs. At present, the large-scale industrialized TFTs are silicon-based TFTs. Silicon-based TFTs include: a-Si (amorphous silicon) TFT, LTPS (Low Temperature Poly-silicon, low-temperature polysilicon) TFT and HTPS (High ...
