[0047] Furthermore, the material of the first electrode 410 is a ternary oxide composed of indium oxide, tin oxide and a first metal oxide, wherein the chemical formula of the ternary oxide is In x Sn y A zO, wherein A is one of magnesium, yttrium, gallium, zinc, aluminum or lanthanide elements, wherein x, y and z are all greater than 0.

[0048] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first electrode 410 and the second electrode 610 can be any combination of a pixel electrode and a common electrode. Specifically, when the first electrode 410 is a pixel electrode, the second electrode 610 is a common electrode; when the first electrode 410 is a common electrode, the second electrode 610 is a pixel electrode. In addition, the array substrate 10 includes a plurality of thin film transistors, and the thin film transistors can be a top gate structure or a bottom gate structure. Specifically, this embodiment will later illustrate the technical solution of the present application by taking the thin film transistor as a bottom gate structure as an example.

[0049] It can be understood that when the thin film transistor is a bottom-gate structure, the array substrate 10 also includes an active layer 500, a source 710, a drain 720 and a first via 01, the active layer 500 is located on the side of the gate insulating layer 300 away from the first metal layer 200, the source 710 and the drain 720 are located on the side of the active layer 500 away from the gate insulating layer 300, the first metal layer 200 includes a gate 210, the passivation layer 800 is located on the source 710, the drain 720, the first electrode 410 and the gate insulating layer 300, and the first via 01 passes through the passivation layer 800; it should be noted that the active layer 500 is arranged corresponding to the gate 210, and the two ends of the active layer 500 are respectively connected to the source 710 and the drain 720.

For existing array substrates, the multi-layer film structure has a greater impact on light efficiency. When the refractive indices of adjacent film layers are different, the backlight source has a higher light reflection phenomenon at the contact interface of adjacent film layers in the array substrate.

[0056] Specifically, in the x Sn y A zIn O, In atoms account for 70% to 95% of the total metal atoms, Sn atoms account for 5% to 30% of the total metal atoms, and A atoms account for 1% to 20% of the total metal atoms; wherein, the A is preferably zinc element, and the zinc atoms account for 1% to 20% of the total metal atoms.

The reflectivity of the first contact surface 411, the refractive index of the first electrode 410, and the refractive index of the gate insulating layer 300 satisfy the following relationship:

[0059]

[0060] Among them, R ab is the reflectivity of the first contact surface 411; n a is the refractive index of the first electrode 410, n b is the refractive index of the gate insulating layer 300 .
