[0038] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Since the organic light emitting device is a current driven device, the array substrate of the organic light emitting display generally includes a driving transistor and a switching transistor. Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an array substrate in the related art, such as Figure 1 As shown, the array substrate 10 includes a driving transistor 11 and a switching transistor 12. The driving transistor 11 includes a first active layer 111, and the switching transistor 12 includes a second active layer 121. The first active layer 111 and the second active layer 121 both include silicon. Optionally, the first active layer 111 and the second active layer 121 may both include polysilicon. For transistors including silicon, such as polysilicon transistors, it is generally necessary to repair defects in the active layer through a high-temperature process, and at the same time, the active layer is dehydrogenated through a high-temperature process to adjust the transistor performance. However, the high-temperature process will change the subthreshold swing of the transistor. Specifically, Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of a subthreshold swing curve of a driving transistor in the related art. Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of a subthreshold swing curve of a switching transistor in the related art, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , in order to alleviate the problem of uneven display, the subthreshold swing value of the driving transistor 11 is generally increased by increasing the number of high-temperature processes (the number of high-temperature processes is positively correlated with the subthreshold swing value). However, for the switching transistor 12, under the same number of high-temperature processes as the driving transistor 11, the subthreshold swing curve of the switching transistor 12 drifts to the right, resulting in a leakage current of the switching transistor 12 reaching 10 when the gate-source voltage difference is zero. -11The higher leakage current leads to poor switching characteristics of the switch transistor 12, especially in the case of low-frequency driving, where the data refresh cycle is long and the long-term leakage current leads to poor stability of the switch transistor. How to ensure the leakage current of the switch transistor is small while ensuring the characteristics of the drive transistor has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0040] Based on the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides an array substrate, including a base substrate; a pixel circuit located on one side of the base substrate, the pixel circuit including a first transistor and a second transistor, the first transistor including a first active layer, the second transistor including a second active layer, and the first active layer and the second active layer both including silicon; the array substrate also includes a first type of inorganic layer and a second type of inorganic layer located on a side of the first active layer away from the base substrate, the first type of inorganic layer is located on a side close to the first active layer, and the second type of inorganic layer is located on a side away from the first active layer; the array substrate also includes a first via hole, the first via hole at least passes through the second type of inorganic layer, and the vertical projection of the first active layer on the plane where the base substrate is located covers the vertical projection of one end of the first via hole close to the first active layer on the plane where the base substrate is located. By adopting the above technical solution, a first via hole is added in the array substrate, and the first via hole penetrates at least a part of the inorganic layer above the first active layer. The first via hole can be used to perform a high-temperature process only on the first active layer. In this way, the hydrogen ions in the first active layer escape through the first via hole, and the hydrogen ion concentration in the first active layer can be made lower than the hydrogen ion concentration in the second active layer. On the one hand, the performance of the first transistor is ensured to be good, and on the other hand, the number of high-temperature processes of the second transistor is reduced, thereby ensuring that the subthreshold swing of the second transistor is small, ensuring that the turn-off characteristics of the second transistor are good, and the leakage current of the second transistor is small, thereby improving the overall working effect of the pixel circuit and ensuring that the overall characteristics of the pixel circuit are good.

[0041] The above is the core idea of ​​the embodiment of the invention. The technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the invention. Based on the embodiment of the invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0042] Figure 4 is a schematic structural diagram of an array substrate provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4As shown, the array substrate 20 provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes a base substrate 21; a pixel circuit 22 located on one side of the base substrate 21, the pixel circuit 22 includes a first transistor 221 and a second transistor 222, the first transistor 221 includes a first active layer 2211, the second transistor 222 includes a second active layer 2221, the first active layer 2211 and the second active layer 2221 both include silicon, and optionally, the first active layer 111 and the second active layer 121 may both include polysilicon; the array substrate 20 also includes a first active layer 2211 and a second active layer 2221; 211 comprises a first type of inorganic layer 23 and a second type of inorganic layer 24 on a side away from the base substrate 21, the first type of inorganic layer 23 is located on a side close to the first active layer 2211, and the second type of inorganic layer 24 is located on a side away from the first active layer 2211; the array substrate 20 also includes a first via hole 25, the first via hole 25 at least passes through the second type of inorganic layer 24, and the vertical projection of the first active layer 2211 on the plane where the base substrate 21 is located covers the vertical projection of one end of the first via hole 25 close to the first active layer 2211 on the plane where the base substrate 21 is located.

[0043] Exemplarily, in the array substrate provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the pixel circuit 22 may include two transistors (2T), or include seven transistors (7T). The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific structure of the pixel circuit 22. Figure 4 Only two transistors are shown by way of example.

[0044] Specifically, Figure 4As shown, the pixel circuit 22 includes a first transistor 221 and a second transistor 222, wherein the first transistor 221 includes a first active layer 2211, and the second transistor 222 includes a second active layer 2221, and the first active layer 2211 and the second active layer 2221 both include silicon, and may optionally include polysilicon, that is, a polysilicon active layer, for example, both are low temperature polysilicon (LTPS) active layers. Further, the array substrate 20 also includes a first type of inorganic layer 23 and a second type of inorganic layer 24 located on a side of the first active layer 2211 away from the base substrate 21, the first type of inorganic layer 23 is located on a side close to the first active layer 2211, and the second type of inorganic layer 24 is located on a side away from the first active layer 2211, wherein the first type of inorganic layer 23 may be one or more inorganic layers, and the second type of inorganic layer 24 may be one or more inorganic layers, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. On this basis, the array substrate 20 also includes a first via hole 25, and the vertical projection of the first via hole 25 on the plane where the base substrate 21 is located is located within the coverage range of the vertical projection of the first active layer 2211 on the plane where the base substrate 21 is located, and the first via hole 25 at least penetrates the second type of inorganic layer 24, so that the first active layer 2211 can be subjected to a high-temperature process through the first via hole 25, and the hydrogen ions in the first active layer 2211 can escape through the first via hole 25. Since the vertical projection of the first active layer 2211 on the plane where the base substrate 21 is located covers the vertical projection of one end of the first via 25 close to the first active layer 2211 on the plane where the base substrate 21 is located, the process of performing a high-temperature process on the first active layer 2211 through the first via 25 does not affect the second active layer 2221, that is, the hydrogen ion concentration in the first active layer 2211 is smaller than the hydrogen ion concentration in the second active layer 2221. In this way, while the first active layer 2211 is dehydrogenated, the hydrogen content of the second active layer 2221 remains unchanged or basically unchanged. While the characteristics of the first transistor 221 are guaranteed, the number of high-temperature processes of the second transistor 222 is reduced, the subthreshold swing of the second transistor is guaranteed to be small, the turn-off characteristics of the second transistor are guaranteed to be good, the leakage current of the second transistor is small, the overall working effect of the pixel circuit is improved, and the overall characteristics of the pixel circuit are guaranteed to be good.

[0045] In summary, the array substrate provided by the embodiment of the present invention, by adding a first via hole in the array substrate, the first via hole penetrates at least a portion of the inorganic layer above the first active layer, and can perform a high-temperature process only on the first active layer through the first via hole, so that the hydrogen ions in the first active layer escape through the first via hole, so that the hydrogen ion concentration in the first active layer is less than the hydrogen ion concentration in the second active layer, on the one hand, ensuring that the performance of the first transistor is good, and on the other hand, reducing the number of high-temperature processes of the second transistor, ensuring that the subthreshold swing of the second transistor is small, ensuring that the turn-off characteristics of the second transistor are good, and the leakage current of the second transistor is small, thereby improving the overall working effect of the pixel circuit and ensuring that the overall characteristics of the pixel circuit are good.

[0046] On the basis of the above embodiment, the first transistor 221 can be a driving transistor, and the second transistor 222 can be a switching transistor. Generally speaking, in a pixel circuit, the transistor whose gate is connected to the scanning signal or the light emitting control signal is a switching transistor, and the transistor other than the switching transistor in the pixel circuit is a driving transistor, and the driving transistor is arranged in series on the transmission path of the first power supply signal (PVDD signal), and the gate of the driving transistor writes the data signal, and as the data signal is written, the gate potential of the driving transistor changes. By performing a high-temperature process only on the first active layer in the driving transistor through the first via hole, the hydrogen ions in the first active layer escape through the first via hole, and the hydrogen ion concentration in the first active layer is less than the hydrogen ion concentration in the second active layer, on the one hand, the performance of the driving transistor is guaranteed to be good, and on the other hand, the number of high-temperature processes of the switching transistor is reduced, the subthreshold swing of the switching transistor is guaranteed to be small, the turn-off characteristics of the switching transistor are guaranteed to be good, the leakage of the switching transistor is small, the overall working effect of the pixel circuit is improved, and the overall characteristics of the pixel circuit are guaranteed to be good.

[0047] Based on the above embodiment, the first via hole at least penetrates the second type of inorganic layer. The first via hole may only penetrate the second type of inorganic layer, or the first via hole may penetrate both the second type of inorganic layer and the first type of inorganic layer. The above two situations are described below respectively.

[0048] Continue to refer Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The first via hole 25 penetrating the second inorganic layer 24 is used as an example for description. Figure 4 As shown, the first via hole 25 penetrates the second type inorganic layer 24, so in the process of preparing the first via hole 25, it is not necessary to etch the surface of the first active layer 2211, and the first active layer 2211 can be exempted from etching, ensuring the good integrity of the first active layer 2211. Moreover, even if the first via hole 25 is not etched to the first active layer 2211, the hydrogen ions in the first active layer 2211 can also escape through the first via hole 25, ensuring the normal escape of hydrogen ions on the basis of ensuring that the first active layer 2211 is exempted from etching, and ensuring the good characteristics of the first transistor 221.

[0049] Figure 5 is a schematic structural diagram of another array substrate provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 The first via hole 25 penetrates both the second type inorganic layer 24 and the first type inorganic layer 23 as an example for description. Figure 5 As shown, the first via 25 penetrates both the second type inorganic layer 24 and the first type inorganic layer 23, and the first via 25 is etched to the surface of the first active layer 2211, thereby ensuring that the hydrogen ions in the first active layer 2211 can escape through the first via 25 without hindrance, ensuring that the hydrogen ion escape channel is unobstructed, the hydrogen ion escape effect is good, and ensuring that the first transistor 221 has excellent characteristics.

[0050] Continue to refer Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first transistor 221 further includes a first source 2213 and a first drain 2214, and the second transistor 222 further includes a second source 2222 and a second drain 2223. The first source 2213 and the first drain 2214 are electrically connected to the first active layer 2211 through the first source-drain via 27 (second via 27), and the second source 2222 and the second drain 2223 are electrically connected to the second source 2221 through the second source-drain via 28 (third via 28). Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, no matter the first via 25 only penetrates the second inorganic layer 24 or the first via 25 penetrates both the second inorganic layer 24 and the first inorganic layer 23, in the direction perpendicular to the base substrate 21, the depth of the first via 25 is smaller than the first source-drain via 27 and the second source-drain via 28, that is, the end of the first via 25 away from the base substrate 21 is closer to the base substrate 21 and the first active layer 2211 than the ends of the first source-drain via 27 and the second source-drain via 28 away from the base substrate 21.

[0051] Figure 6 is a schematic structural diagram of another array substrate provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another array substrate provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the pixel circuit 22 provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a third transistor 223, the third transistor 223 includes a third active layer 2231, the third active layer 2231 includes an oxide semiconductor, that is, an oxide semiconductor active layer, and the third active layer 2231 is located on the side of the first active layer 2211 away from the substrate 21; the first type of inorganic layer 23 and the second type of inorganic layer 24 are located between the film layer where the first active layer 2211 is located and the film layer where the third active layer 2231 is located.

[0052] For example, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the pixel circuit 22 provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a third transistor 223, the third transistor 223 includes a third active layer 2231, the third active layer 2231 may include an oxide semiconductor, that is, an oxide semiconductor active layer, such as an indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) active layer, the leakage current in the oxide semiconductor transistor is very small, which can ensure that the leakage current is small during the operation of the pixel circuit 22, and ensure that the pixel circuit 22 has good performance.

[0053] Furthermore, since the oxide semiconductor active layer is sensitive to hydrogen ions, hydrogen ions will cause the performance of the oxide semiconductor transistor to deteriorate. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first type of inorganic layer 23 and the second type of inorganic layer 24 are arranged between the film layer where the first active layer 2211 is located and the film layer where the third active layer 2231 is located. Correspondingly, in the actual preparation process, a first via 25 is first formed that at least penetrates the second type of inorganic layer 24, and after the first active layer 2211 is subjected to a high-temperature process through the first via 25, the third transistor 223 is prepared on the side of the second type of inorganic layer 24 away from the base substrate 21. In this way, the hydrogen ions escaping from the high-temperature process of the first active layer 2211 will not affect the third active layer 2231, thereby ensuring that the third transistor 223 has excellent performance.

[0054] Optional, continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the pixel circuit 22 provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a capacitor 224, and the capacitor 224 includes a first capacitor substrate 2241 and a second capacitor substrate 2242 arranged opposite to each other; the first transistor 221 may further include a first gate 2212 located on the side of the first active layer 2211 away from the base substrate 21, the first capacitor substrate 2241 and the first gate 2212 are arranged in the same layer, and the second capacitor substrate 2242 is located on the side of the first capacitor substrate 2241 away from the base substrate 21; the array substrate 20 may further include a first insulating layer 31 located between the first active layer 2211 and the first gate 2212, a second insulating layer 32 located between the first gate 2212 and the second capacitor substrate 2242, and a third insulating layer 33 located between the second capacitor substrate 2242 and the third active layer 2231; at least one of the first insulating layer 31, the second insulating layer 32 and the third insulating layer 33 is a silicon nitride layer, and the first via 25 penetrates the silicon nitride layer.

[0055] Exemplarily, the pixel circuit 22 may further include a capacitor 224, which may be used as a storage element to ensure the stability of the gate potential of the first transistor 221. Specifically, the capacitor 224 may include a first capacitor substrate 2241 and a second capacitor substrate 2242, wherein the first capacitor substrate 2241 may be disposed on the same layer as the first gate 2212 of the first transistor 221, and the second capacitor substrate 2242 is located on a side of the first gate 2212 away from the base substrate 21, wherein Figure 6 and Figure 7 Taking the first gate 2212 reused as the first capacitor substrate 2241 as an example for explanation, this can ensure that the film structure of the array substrate 20 is streamlined while ensuring that the preparation process of the first gate 2212 and the first capacitor substrate 2241 is simple.

[0056] On this basis, the array substrate 20 may further include a first insulating layer 31 located between the first active layer 2211 and the first gate 2212, a second insulating layer 32 located between the first gate 2212 and the second capacitor substrate 2242, and a third insulating layer 33 located between the second capacitor substrate 2242 and the third active layer 2231, wherein the first insulating layer 31 may be the above-mentioned first type inorganic layer 23, the second insulating layer 32 and the third insulating layer 33 may be the above-mentioned second type inorganic layer 24, or the first insulating layer 31 and the second insulating layer 32 may be the above-mentioned first type inorganic layer 23, and the third insulating layer 33 may be the above-mentioned second type inorganic layer 24, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first insulating layer 31 is the first type inorganic layer 23, and the second insulating layer 32 and the third insulating layer 33 are the second type inorganic layer 24. Since the silicon nitride layer has a strong blocking effect on the escape of hydrogen ions, when at least one of the first insulating layer 31, the second insulating layer 32 and the third insulating layer 33 is a silicon nitride layer, the first via 25 penetrates the silicon nitride layer, thereby ensuring that the hydrogen ion escape channel is smooth, ensuring that the hydrogen ions in the first active layer 2211 can escape smoothly, and ensuring that the first active layer 2211 has excellent performance.

[0057] Specific, combined Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 The second insulating layer 32 and / or the third insulating layer 33 in the embodiment may be a silicon nitride layer, and the first via hole 25 penetrates the silicon nitride layer; Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 At least one of the first insulating layer 31, the second insulating layer 32 or the third insulating layer 33 may be a silicon nitride layer, and the first via 25 penetrates the silicon nitride layer to ensure that the hydrogen ion escape channel is smooth and the hydrogen ions in the first active layer 2211 can escape smoothly.

[0058] As a feasible implementation method, continue to refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the array substrate 20 provided by the embodiment of the present invention may also include a third inorganic layer 26 located on the side of the second inorganic layer 24 away from the base substrate 21.

[0061] For example, continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first transistor 221 also includes a first source 2213 and a first drain 2214, the second transistor 222 also includes a second source 2222 and a second drain 2223, and the third transistor 223 also includes a third source 2232 and a third drain 2233; the first source 2213, the first drain 2214, the second source 2222, the second drain 2223, the third source 2232 and the third drain 2233 are arranged on the same layer, and the film layer structure of the array substrate 20 is simple. Furthermore, the array substrate 20 provided in the embodiment of the present invention may also include a second via 27, a third via 28 and a fourth via 29. The second via 27 and the third via 28 both penetrate the first inorganic layer 23, the second inorganic layer 24 and the third inorganic layer 26. The third via 29 penetrates the third inorganic layer 26 above the third active layer 2231, so that the first source 2213 and the first drain 2214 are electrically connected to the first active layer 2211 through the second via 27; the second source 2222 and the second drain 2223 are electrically connected to the second active layer 2221 through the third via 28; the third source 2232 and the third drain 2233 are electrically connected to the third active layer 2231 through the fourth via 29, thereby realizing a complete connection relationship among the first transistor 221, the second transistor 222 and the third transistor 223.

[0062] Based on the above implementation, continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, since the first transistor 221 and the second transistor 222 both include a polysilicon active layer, the first active layer 2211 and the second active layer 2221 can be arranged in the same layer, ensuring that the film structure of the array substrate 20 is simple.

It should be noted that since the third transistor 223 may be an oxide semiconductor transistor, generally speaking, the volume of oxide semiconductor transistors is relatively large, setting the third transistor 223 as a dual-gate transistor with a top gate and a bottom gate stacked is conducive to reducing the volume of the third transistor, and further realizing the miniaturization design of the entire pixel circuit.

Since the polysilicon transistor is small in size, when the first transistor 221 and the second transistor 222 are both dual-gate structure transistors, the two gates of the first transistor 221 can both be top gate structures, for example, both are located on the side of the first active layer 2211 away from the substrate 21, and the two gates of the second transistor 222 can both be top gate structures, for example, both are located on the side of the second active layer 2221 away from the substrate 21.
