[0002] Low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) display technology combines two types of thin-film transistors, low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) and indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), thus enabling display panels to have both strong driving capabilities and low power consumption. It is suitable for both high-frequency and low-frequency displays and has become an increasingly popular technology in display panels.

The driving circuit area of ​​the LTPO panel has a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon semiconductor layer, which is also an amorphous structure. It can be seen that both the display area and the driving circuit area of ​​the LTPO panel have amorphous semiconductor layers. Due to the poor device stability of semiconductor layers, especially under external light (such as ambient light or backlight) or thermal stimulation (such as high temperatures in summer), the threshold voltage (Vth) of the driving circuit is prone to shift, thus affecting the driving capability of the driving circuit and the display stability of the display panel.

[0039] Currently, existing LTPO panels have an oxide semiconductor layer in the display area, which is typically deposited directly by PVD and has an amorphous structure. The driving circuit area of ​​the LTPO panel has a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon semiconductor layer, which is also an amorphous structure. It can be seen that both the display area and the driving circuit area of ​​the LTPO panel have amorphous semiconductor layers. Due to the poor device stability of semiconductor layers, especially under external light (such as ambient light or backlight) or thermal stimulation (such as high temperatures in summer), the threshold voltage (Vth) of the driving circuit is prone to shift, thus affecting the driving capability of the driving circuit and the display stability.

[0040] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a TFT substrate and its fabrication method, a display panel, and a display device, which will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. For example, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a TFT substrate provided in an embodiment of this application. The TFT substrate includes a display area 200 and a driving area 100. The driving area 100 is used to drive the display area 200 for display, wherein the device mobility of the driving area 100 is higher than that of the display area 200.

[0041] In this embodiment, the TFT substrate includes a display area 200 and a driving area 100, and the device mobility of the driving area 100 is set to be higher than that of the display area 200. Increasing the device mobility of the driving area 100 can improve the device stability of the driving area 100, reduce the possibility of threshold voltage deviation of the driving circuit caused by the influence of the external environment, improve the driving capability of the driving circuit, and thus improve the display stability of the display panel.

[0042] Examples such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a TFT substrate provided in an embodiment of this application. The display area 200 includes a first amorphous layer 210, and the driving area 100 includes a crystalline layer 110. The device mobility of the crystalline layer 110 is higher than that of the first amorphous layer 210. In this application, a crystalline layer 110 is provided in the driving area 100. Since the device mobility of the crystalline layer 110 is higher than that of the first amorphous layer 210, the device mobility of the driving area 100 can be higher than that of the display area 200. In this application, the device mobility is the device carrier mobility.

[0043] For example, the first amorphous layer 210 is an amorphous oxide semiconductor layer, and the crystalline layer 110 is a crystalline oxide semiconductor layer. In this application, the crystalline layer 110 can be formed by heating or laser irradiation of an amorphous oxide layer. Figure 2 As shown, the driving region 100 further includes a base layer 190, a first metal layer 150 (M1), an insulating layer 130 (GI), a second metal layer 160 (M2), and a protective layer 140 (PV). The base layer 190, first metal layer 150, insulating layer 130, crystalline layer 110, second metal layer 160, and protective layer 140 are sequentially arranged along a first direction, which is... Figure 2 The direction is from bottom to top. With this arrangement, the crystalline layer 110 is positioned between the insulating layer 130 and the protective layer 140, and the protective layer 140 can protect the crystalline layer 110. In this application, the substrate layer 190 can be a glass substrate layer 190, but other types of substrate layers 190 can also be selected; there is no limitation here.

With this arrangement, the first amorphous layer 210 is disposed between the insulating layer 130 and the protective layer 140, and the protective layer 140 can protect the first amorphous layer 210.

[0045] The above-mentioned TFT substrate fabrication method is as follows: First, a first metal layer 150 and a third metal layer 220 are fabricated on a substrate layer 190; then, an insulating layer 130 is fabricated on the side of the first metal layer 150 and the third metal layer 220 facing away from the substrate layer 190; next, a first amorphous layer 210 and a third amorphous layer 111 are fabricated on the side of the insulating layer 130 facing away from the first metal layer 150 and the third metal layer 220; then, the third amorphous layer 111 is heated or irradiated with a laser to form a crystalline layer 110; then, a second metal layer 160 is formed on the side of the crystalline layer 110 facing away from the insulating layer 130, and a fourth metal layer 230 is formed on the side of the first amorphous layer 210 facing away from the insulating layer 130; finally, a protective layer 140 is fabricated on the side of the second metal layer 160 and the fourth metal layer 230 facing away from the insulating layer 130. The aforementioned third amorphous layer 111 is an amorphous oxide semiconductor layer.

[0046] Examples such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of another TFT substrate provided in an embodiment of this application. The driving region 100 further includes a second amorphous layer 120, which is stacked with a crystalline layer 110. This arrangement forms a structure where the second amorphous layer 120 and the crystalline layer 110 are stacked. On the one hand, the second amorphous layer 120 can improve the film uniformity, and on the other hand, the crystalline layer 110 can improve the device mobility. The second amorphous layer 120 is an amorphous oxide semiconductor layer.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the driving region 100 further includes a base layer 190, a first metal layer 150, an insulating layer 130, a second metal layer 160, and a protective layer 140. The base layer 190, the first metal layer 150, the insulating layer 130, the second amorphous layer 120, the crystalline layer 110, the second metal layer 160, and the protective layer 140 are sequentially arranged along a first direction, which is... Figure 3 The direction is from bottom to top. With this arrangement, the crystalline layer 110 is placed between the insulating layer 130 and the protective layer 140, and the protective layer 140 can protect the crystalline layer 110.

[0048] In such Figure 3 As shown, the display area 200 further includes a third metal layer 220 and a fourth metal layer 230, wherein the base layer 190, the third metal layer 220, the insulating layer 130, the first amorphous layer 210, the fourth metal layer 230, and the protective layer 140 are sequentially arranged along a first direction. With this arrangement, the first amorphous layer 210 is disposed between the insulating layer 130 and the protective layer 140, and the protective layer 140 can protect the first amorphous layer 210.

[0049] The above-mentioned TFT substrate fabrication method is as follows: First, a first metal layer 150 and a third metal layer 220 are fabricated on a substrate layer 190; then, an insulating layer 130 is fabricated on the side of the first metal layer 150 and the third metal layer 220 facing away from the substrate layer 190; then, a first amorphous layer 210 and a second amorphous layer 120 are fabricated on the side of the insulating layer 130 facing away from the first metal layer 150 and the third metal layer 220; then, a third amorphous layer 111 is fabricated on the side of the second amorphous layer 120 facing away from the insulating layer 130; then, the third amorphous layer 111 is heated or irradiated with a laser to form a crystalline layer; then, a second metal layer 160 is formed on the side of the crystalline layer facing away from the insulating layer 130, and a fourth metal layer 230 is formed on the side of the first amorphous layer 210 facing away from the insulating layer 130; finally, a protective layer 140 is fabricated on the side of the second metal layer 160 and the fourth metal layer 230 facing away from the insulating layer 130. The aforementioned third amorphous layer 111 is an amorphous oxide semiconductor layer.

[0050] On the other hand, this application also provides a method for fabricating a TFT substrate, wherein the TFT substrate is any of the TFT substrates mentioned above. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a method for fabricating a TFT substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0056] The TFT substrate prepared by the above method includes a display area 200 and a driving area 100. The display area 200 includes a first amorphous layer 210, and the driving area 100 includes a crystalline layer. The device mobility of the crystalline layer is higher than that of the first amorphous layer 210. Therefore, the device mobility of the driving area 100 is higher than that of the display area 200. Increasing the device mobility of the driving area 100 improves its device stability, reduces the possibility of threshold voltage shift in the driving circuit due to external environmental influences, and enhances the driving capability of the driving circuit, thereby improving the display stability of the display panel. Simultaneously, the TFT substrate prepared by the above method forms a structure where a second amorphous layer 120 and a crystalline layer are stacked. On the one hand, the second amorphous layer 120 improves film uniformity; on the other hand, the crystalline layer enhances device mobility.

[0057] The first amorphous layer 210, the second amorphous layer 120, and the third amorphous layer 111 are amorphous oxide semiconductor layers, and the crystalline layer is a crystalline oxide semiconductor layer. The first amorphous layer 210 and the second amorphous layer 120 can be made of the same material or different materials; the first amorphous layer 210 and the third amorphous layer 111 can be made of the same material or different materials; the second amorphous layer 120 and the third amorphous layer 111 can be made of the same material or different materials.

[0058] For example, step S1 in the above-described method for preparing a TFT substrate specifically includes the following steps:

[0060] S12, An insulating layer 130 is formed on the first metal layer 150 and the third metal layer 220.

[0061] Step S5 in the above-mentioned TFT substrate fabrication method specifically includes the following steps:

[0062] S51. A second metal layer 160 is formed on the crystalline layer, and a fourth metal layer 230 is formed on the first amorphous layer 210.

[0063] S52, A protective layer 140 is formed on the second metal layer 160 and the fourth metal layer 230.

[0064] The driving region 100 of the TFT substrate prepared according to the above preparation method includes a base layer 190, a first metal layer 150, an insulating layer 130, a second amorphous layer 120, a crystalline layer, a second metal layer 160, and a protective layer 140. The base layer 190, the first metal layer 150, the insulating layer 130, the second amorphous layer 120, the crystalline layer, the second metal layer 160, and the protective layer 140 are stacked sequentially. In this arrangement, the crystalline layer is disposed between the insulating layer 130 and the protective layer 140, and the protective layer 140 can protect the crystalline layer. The display area 200 in the TFT substrate includes a base layer 190, a third metal layer 220, an insulating layer 130, a first amorphous layer 210, a fourth metal layer 230, and a protective layer 140. The base layer 190, the third metal layer 220, the insulating layer 130, the first amorphous layer 210, the fourth metal layer 230, and the protective layer 140 are stacked sequentially. In this arrangement, the first amorphous layer 210 is disposed between the insulating layer 130 and the protective layer 140, and the protective layer 140 can protect the first amorphous layer 210.

[0065] In such Figure 3 As shown, the display area 200 further includes a third metal layer 220 and a fourth metal layer 230, wherein the base layer 190, the third metal layer 220, the insulating layer 130, the first amorphous layer 210, the fourth metal layer 230, and the protective layer 140 are sequentially arranged along a first direction. With this arrangement, the first amorphous layer 210 is disposed between the insulating layer 130 and the protective layer 140, and the protective layer 140 can protect the first amorphous layer 210.

[0066] Examples such as Figure 5 As shown, step S4 in the above-mentioned TFT substrate fabrication method specifically includes the following steps:

[0067] S41. A photoresist layer 170 is formed on the first amorphous layer 210 and the insulating layer 130, wherein the photoresist layer 170 does not cover the third amorphous layer 111.

The display area 200 includes a first amorphous layer 210, and the driving area 100 includes a crystalline layer. The device mobility of the crystalline layer is higher than that of the first amorphous layer 210. Therefore, the device mobility of the driving area 100 is higher than that of the display area 200. Increasing the device mobility of the driving area 100 improves its device stability, reduces the possibility of threshold voltage shift in the driving circuit due to external environmental influences, and enhances the driving capability of the driving circuit, thereby improving the display stability of the display panel. The first amorphous layer 210 and the second amorphous layer 120 are amorphous oxide semiconductor layers, and the crystalline layer is a crystalline oxide semiconductor layer. The first amorphous layer 210 and the third amorphous layer 111 can be made of the same material or different materials.
