The structure of the array substrate used to drive the display device for display, such as figure 1 As shown, it mainly includes: a light-shielding layer 1, a buffer layer 2, an active layer 3, a gate insulating layer 4, an interlayer dielectric layer 5, a gate 6, a source 7 and a drain 8, and a common electrode located on the substrate. 9. Pixel electrode 10; wherein, the active layer is made of polysilicon material, and the light-shielding layer is used to block the influence of external light on the polysilicon material, so as to prevent the active layer from generating photogenerated carriers, thereby affecting the switching characteristics of the switching transistor

However, the switching transistor using polysilicon material as the active layer material has a large off-state current, which causes the switching transistor to have a large leakage current, which makes the switching characteristics of the pixels in the display area unstable, affects the display effect of the display device, and reduces In order to show the yield rate of the product; but its high electron mobility makes it have a high driving ability, so the switching transistor of the active layer is made of polysilicon material, which is suitable for building the driving circuit around the array substrate
