Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and more particularly to an array substrate, a display panel, and a display device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of display technology, people have increasingly higher requirements for the resolution, power consumption, and image quality of display products. To meet these requirements, Low Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide (LTPO) technology is often used to fabricate the pixel driving circuit in the driving backplane of display products. This LTPO technology utilizes both Low Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon Thin Film Transistors (LTPS TFTs) and Metal Oxide Thin Film Transistors (Oxide TFTs) as functional transistors in the pixel driving circuit. Due to the high mobility of LTPS TFTs, the charging speed of the pixel capacitor can be accelerated, while Metal Oxide TFTs have lower leakage current.

The terms “first,” “second,” and similar terms used in this disclosure and the claims do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components.

Terms such as “inner,” “outer,” “upper,” and “lower” are used only to indicate relative positional relationships, and these relative positional relationships may change accordingly when the absolute position of the described object changes.

[0043] See Figure 1 As shown, this disclosure provides an array substrate, which includes:

[0044] Substrate 1;

[0045] The low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor 2 is located on a substrate 1. The low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor 2 includes a polycrystalline silicon active layer 21 and a first gate 22 (the first gate 22 is located on the side of the polycrystalline silicon active layer 21 away from the substrate 1) that are sequentially stacked on the substrate 1.

[0046] The oxide thin film transistor 3 is located on the substrate 1. The orthographic projection of the oxide thin film transistor 3 on the substrate 1 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor 2 on the substrate 1. The oxide thin film transistor 3 includes an oxide active layer 31 and a second gate 32 (the second gate 32 is located on the side of the oxide active layer 31 away from the substrate 1) that are stacked sequentially on the substrate 1.

[0047] The light-shielding layer 35 has an overlap area of ​​S1 between its projection on the substrate 1 and the orthogonal projection of the oxide active layer 31 on the substrate 1; the overlap area of ​​S2 between its projection on the substrate 1 and the orthogonal projection of the polysilicon active layer 21 on the substrate 1, wherein S1 is greater than S2.

[0048] The array substrate provided in this embodiment has a transparent film layer between the polysilicon active layer 21 and the substrate 1 in the region where the low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistor 2 is located. The oxide thin-film transistor 3 includes an oxide active layer 31 and a second gate 32 sequentially stacked on the substrate 1. The overlapping area of ​​the projection of the light-shielding layer 35 on the substrate 1 and the orthogonal projection of the oxide active layer 31 on the substrate 1 is S1; the overlapping area of ​​the projection of the light-shielding layer 35 on the substrate 1 and the orthogonal projection of the polysilicon active layer 21 on the substrate 1 is S2, where S1 is greater than S2. This allows the high mobility characteristics of the low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistor 2 to be used in transistors requiring high switching speeds, while the low leakage current characteristics of the oxide thin-film transistor 3 can be used in transistors requiring high leakage current control. This enables the array substrate to simultaneously have high switching speeds and low leakage current performance.

[0049] In a specific implementation, the overlap area S2 between the projection of the light-shielding layer 35 onto the substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the polysilicon active layer 21 onto the substrate 1 can be zero. That is, no light-shielding layer is provided between the polysilicon active layer 21 and the substrate 1, and the film layer between the polysilicon active layer 21 and the substrate 1 is a transparent film layer in the region where the low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistor 2 is located. For example, combined with... Figure 1 As shown, a barrier layer 6 may be present between the polycrystalline silicon active layer 21 and the substrate 1, and a second buffer layer 52 located between the barrier layer 6 and the polycrystalline silicon active layer 21. In this case, both the barrier layer 6 and the second buffer layer 52 in the region where the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor 2 is located are transparent films, which is the region where the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor 2 is located.

[0050] In specific implementation, the oxide thin film transistor 3 only loads the gate signal on the second gate 32. That is, the oxide thin film transistor 3 is a single gate and a top gate type thin film transistor. Even if a light-shielding layer is provided in the area where the oxide thin film transistor 3 is located, the light-shielding layer is only used as a light-shielding film layer and does not load the driving gate signal.

[0051] It should be noted that polycrystalline silicon material has high mobility, low power consumption, and high reliability. Therefore, the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor 2 can be used as a gate driver and / or multiplexer (MUX) of the driving element of a thin-film transistor driving a display device. Preferably, the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor 2 can be used as a driving transistor in the pixel circuit of an organic light-emitting display device. The band gap of oxide semiconductor material is larger than that of silicon material, which prevents electrons from passing through the band gap in the off state, and the cutoff current is low. Therefore, the oxide thin-film transistor 3 is suitable for thin-film transistors that are kept on for short periods and off for long periods. In addition, due to the low cutoff current, the size of the auxiliary capacitor can be reduced. Therefore, the oxide thin-film transistor 3 is suitable for high-resolution display elements. Exemplarily, the oxide thin-film transistor 3 can be used as a switching transistor in the pixel circuit of an organic light-emitting display device. In addition, the substrate 1 can be a flexible substrate such as polyimide (PI) or a rigid substrate such as glass, which is not limited here. The low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor 2 can specifically be a top-gate type low-temperature polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor 2. The oxide thin-film transistor 3 can specifically be a top-gate type oxide thin-film transistor 3.

[0052] In specific implementation, combined with Figure 4 As shown, the film layer between the oxide active layer 31 and the substrate 1 is a transparent film layer in the region where the oxide thin-film transistor 3 is located. For example, combined with Figure 4 As shown, a barrier layer 6 may be present between the oxide active layer 31 and the substrate 1, and a second buffer layer 52 located between the barrier layer 6 and the polysilicon active layer 21. In this case, both the barrier layer 6 and the second buffer layer 52 in the region where the oxide thin film transistor 3 is located are transparent films. That is, no light-shielding layer is provided between the polysilicon active layer 21 and the substrate 1 in the region where the oxide thin film transistor 3 is located.

[0053] For specific implementation, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the projection of the light-shielding layer 35 onto the substrate 1 covers the orthogonal projection of the oxide active layer 31 onto the substrate 1.

[0054] Specifically, in combination Figure 1As shown, the light-shielding layer 35 and the first gate 22 can be located on the same layer. The material of the light-shielding layer 35 can be molybdenum, molybdenum, aluminum, copper, titanium / aluminum / titanium, or other metals or alloys; alternatively, the material of the light-shielding layer 35 can be a black organic material, such as black organic resin; alternatively, the material of the light-shielding layer 35 can be carbon black; alternatively, the material of the light-shielding layer 35 can be black pigment. The materials of the light-shielding layer 35 and the first gate 22 can be the same or different. The material of the first gate 22 can be molybdenum, molybdenum, aluminum, copper, titanium / aluminum / titanium, or other metals or alloys. The material of the first gate 32 can be molybdenum, molybdenum, aluminum, copper, titanium / aluminum / titanium, or other metals or alloys.

The materials of the second source 33 and the second drain 34 can be molybdenum, molybdenum, aluminum, copper, titanium / aluminum / titanium, or other metals or alloys.

[0055] The thickness of the light-shielding layer 35 can be specifically as follows: Specifically, the thickness of the light-shielding layer 35 can be... Specifically, the thickness of the light-shielding layer 35 can be... Specifically, the thickness of the light-shielding layer 35 can be...

Specifically, the thickness of the light-shielding layer 35 can be... Specifically, the thickness of the light-shielding layer 35 can be... Specifically, the thickness of the light-shielding layer 35 can be... Specifically, the thickness of the light-shielding layer 35 can be...

[0056] Specifically, the light-shielding layer 35 is on the same layer and made of the same material as the first gate 22. Specifically, the material of the light-shielding layer 35 can be molybdenum, or other metals or alloys such as aluminum, copper, or titanium / aluminum / titanium.

[0057] Specifically, in combination Figure 2 As shown, the light-shielding layer 35 is located between the layer containing the first gate 22 and the layer containing the oxide active layer 31. For example, as... Figure 3 As shown, the light-shielding layer 35 is located between the layer containing the polysilicon active layer 21 and the layer containing the substrate 1.

[0058] In practice, the first gate 22 and the second gate 32 are made of the same material, and the light-shielding layer 35 is made of the same material as the second gate 32.

[0059] In specific implementation, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the oxide active layer 31 is located on the side of the first gate 22 facing away from the substrate 1; a first buffer layer 51 is provided between the oxide active layer 31 and the first gate 22. Specifically, a second buffer layer 52 is provided between the substrate 1 and the polysilicon active layer 21; a barrier layer 6 is also provided between the second buffer layer 52 and the substrate 1; a first gate insulating layer 41 is provided between the polysilicon active layer 21 and the first gate 22; a second gate insulating layer 42 is provided between the oxide active layer 31 and the second gate 32; an interlayer dielectric layer 7 is also provided on the side of the second gate 32 facing away from the substrate 1.

[0060] In specific implementation, combined with Figure 3 As shown, when the light-shielding layer 35 is located between the layer containing the first gate 22 and the layer containing the oxide active layer 31, a third gate insulating layer 43 is also present between the first buffer layer 51 and the first gate 22; the light-shielding layer 35 is located between the first buffer layer 51 and the third gate insulating layer 43.

[0061] In specific implementation, combined with Figure 4 As shown, when the light-shielding layer 35 is located between the layer containing the polysilicon active layer 31 and the layer containing the substrate 1, and the light-shielding layer 35 is located between the second buffer layer 52 and the barrier layer 6.

[0062] In specific implementation, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the side of the interlayer dielectric layer 7 facing away from the substrate 1 also has a source-drain layer, which includes a first source 23, a first drain 24, a second source 33, and a second drain 34. The first source 23 is connected to the source region of the polysilicon active layer 21 through a first via K1, and the first drain 24 is connected to the drain region of the polysilicon active layer 21 through a second via K2. The second source 33 is connected to the oxide active layer 31 through a third via K3, and the second drain 34 is connected to the oxide active layer 31 through a fourth via K4.

[0063] In specific implementation, combined with Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, where, Figure 5 for Figure 1 The corresponding specific array substrate structure diagram Figure 6 for Figure 2 The corresponding specific array substrate structure diagram Figure 7 for Figure 3 The corresponding specific array substrate structure diagram Figure 8 for Figure 4The corresponding specific array substrate structure diagram shows that the source and drain layers have a first planarization layer 81 on the side away from the substrate 1; the first planarization layer 81 has a connecting electrode 9 on the side away from the substrate 1; the connecting electrode 9 has a second planarization layer 82 on the side away from the substrate 1; the second planarization layer 82 has an anode 10 on the side away from the substrate 1; the anode 10 is connected to the connecting electrode 9 through a fifth via K5 penetrating the second planarization layer 82, and the connecting electrode 9 is connected to the first drain 24 through a sixth via K6 penetrating the first planarization layer 81.

[0064] In a specific implementation, a storage capacitor electrode is also provided on the layer where the connecting electrode 9 is located, and a storage capacitor is disposed on the same layer therewith. The material of the storage capacitor electrode can be the same as the material of the first gate 22, or the same as the material of the second gate 32, or the same as the material of the first source 23 and the first drain 24, or the same as the material of the second source 33 and the second drain 34. The storage capacitor electrode can be connected to a fixed potential, or it can be loaded with the same potential as the light-shielding layer 35, or it can be different.

[0065] The potential applied to the light-shielding layer can be the same as the potential applied to the power supply line VDD (voltage source potential); it can also be the same as the potential applied to the initialization signal line; it can also be the same as the potential applied to the cathode (cathode potential VSS); or it can be other fixed potentials, for example, a fixed potential range of -10V to +10V, or a fixed potential range of -5V to +5V, or a fixed potential range of -3V to +3V, or a fixed potential range of -1V to +1V, or a fixed potential range of -0.5V to +0.5V, or a fixed potential range of 0V, or a fixed potential range of 0.1V, or a fixed potential range of 10.1V, or a fixed potential range of 0.2V, or a fixed potential range of -0.2V, or a fixed potential range of 0.3V, or a fixed potential range of -0.3V.

[0066] Specifically, the potential applied to the light-shielding layer 35 can be greater than the potential applied to the cathode (cathode potential VSS) and less than the potential applied to the power line VDD; or, the potential applied to the light-shielding layer 35 can be greater than the potential applied to the initialization signal line and less than the potential applied to the power line VDD.
