AI Technical Summary
The existing high-resolution display panels cannot take into account the better display effect at the same time, mainly due to the insufficient channel length of the driving transistor in the pixel circuit, which leads to poor gray-scale expansion effect. At the same time, extending the channel length in a limited layout space will occupy the layout space, which is not conducive to achieving high resolution.
By designing a new type of pixel circuit in the array substrate, the first gate portion of the integrated structure covers the channel region of the first driving transistor and the auxiliary driving transistor, so that the gates of these transistors are connected together, extending the channel length of the first driving transistor, thereby improving the gray scale expansion effect during display. At the same time, since the first gate portion is an integrated structure, there is no need to consider the distance limitation between the same layer of metals, and the layout space is saved.
It realizes better display effect and grayscale expansion on high-resolution display panels, while saving layout space and supporting high-resolution display technology.

[0069] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0070] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0071] As described in the background art, existing high-resolution products cannot simultaneously achieve good display effects. The inventors have found that the reason is that the longer the channel length of the driving transistor included in the pixel circuit is, the better the grayscale expansion effect is during display. However, within the limited layout space, extending the channel length of the driving transistor will occupy the layout space, which is not conducive to achieving high resolution of the product.
[0072] In view of the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a new type of array substrate, which takes into account both high resolution and display effect of the product. Figure 1 A schematic plan view of a driving transistor and an auxiliary driving transistor in an array substrate provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 A schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of an array substrate provided in an embodiment of the present invention, wherein Figure 2 For along Figure 1 AA' section view, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the array substrate comprises:
[0073] Substrate 10;
[0074] The active layer 11 is disposed on one side of the substrate 10;
[0075] A plurality of conductive layers stacked on a side of the active layer 11 away from the substrate 10, the plurality of conductive layers comprising a first conductive layer 12, the first conductive layer 12 comprising a first gate portion 121, the first gate portion 121 being an integrated structure;
[0076] The active layer 11 and the multi-layer conductive layer constitute at least one first pixel circuit, and the first pixel circuit includes a first driving transistor T0 and at least one auxiliary driving transistor;
[0077] The channel regions of the first driving transistor T0 and at least one auxiliary driving transistor are both located in the active layer 11 , and the orthographic projection of the first gate portion 121 on the substrate 10 covers the orthographic projection of the channel region of the first driving transistor T1 on the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of at least one auxiliary driving transistor on the substrate 10 .
[0078] Specifically, the substrate 10 is used to provide protection and support for the array substrate, wherein the substrate 10 may be a flexible substrate formed of materials such as polyimide (PI), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or a hard substrate formed of materials such as glass. The active layer 11 includes polycrystalline silicon so that the turn-on or turn-off speed of the formed transistor is faster. The active layer 11 is provided with a plurality of conductive layers on one side of the substrate 10, and the plurality of conductive layers are isolated from each other by insulating layers.
[0079] In this embodiment, the first pixel circuit includes two auxiliary driving transistors, namely, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2. The orthographic projection of the first gate portion 121 on the substrate 10 covers the orthographic projection of the channel region of the first driving transistor T0 on the substrate 10, so that the first gate portion 121 is formed as the gate of the first driving transistor T0, and the orthographic projection of the first gate portion 121 on the substrate 10 covers the orthographic projection of the channel region of each auxiliary driving transistor on the substrate, so that the first gate portion 121 is formed as the gate of each auxiliary driving transistor such as the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 in this embodiment. Since the first gate portion 121 is an integrated structure, it is a closed overall structure. Therefore, the connection between the first driving transistor T0 and the gates of each auxiliary transistor is realized through the first gate portion 121. The length of the channel region of the first driving transistor T0 is extended by at least one auxiliary driving transistor, so that the array substrate has a good grayscale expansion effect when displaying, thereby improving the display effect.
[0080] If the gate of the first driving transistor T0 is the first conductive block, and the gates of each auxiliary transistor are auxiliary conductive blocks, the first conductive block and each auxiliary conductive block are both located in the first conductive layer, and the first conductive block and each auxiliary conductive block are independent entities, then the first conductive block and the auxiliary conductive block can also be connected by a cross-line method to achieve the connection between the gates of the first driving transistor and each auxiliary driving transistor. However, in order to ensure that each transistor formed is not affected by process fluctuations, any two of the first conductive block and each auxiliary conductive block need to be separated by a set distance such as 1.5 microns, resulting in a large required layout space, which is not conducive to high resolution. In this embodiment, the first driving transistor T0 and the gates of each auxiliary transistor are connected together through the first gate portion 121 of the integrated structure, without considering the distance limit between the metals on the same layer, which can save layout space.
[0081] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the pixel circuit includes a first driving transistor and at least one auxiliary driving transistor. Since the portion of the first gate portion covering the channel region of the transistor is formed as the gate of the transistor, the orthographic projection of the first gate portion on the substrate is set to cover the orthographic projection of the channel region of the first driving transistor on the substrate and the orthographic projection of at least one auxiliary driving transistor on the substrate, so that the gates of the first driving transistor and each auxiliary driving transistor are connected together, the channel length of the first driving transistor is extended, and the grayscale expansion effect of the array substrate is better during display. At the same time, since the first gate portion is an integrated structure, there is no need to consider the distance limit between the metals in the same layer, which can save the layout space and is conducive to achieving high resolution of the array substrate.
[0082] refer to Figure 1Optionally, the first pixel circuit includes two auxiliary driving transistors, namely a first transistor T1 and a second transistor T2, and the channel region of the first driving transistor T0, the channel region of the first transistor T1, and the channel region of the second transistor T2 are connected to each other. When the area of the first gate portion 121 is constant, the channel region of the first driving transistor T0, the channel region of the first transistor T1, and the channel region of the second transistor T2 are connected to each other, which can increase the channel length of the first driving transistor T0;
[0083] The first electrode of the first driving transistor T0 , the second electrode of the first transistor T1 , and the second electrode of the second transistor T2 are connected to each other.
[0084] Exemplarily, the first pixel circuit further includes a data writing transistor and a light emitting control transistor, the data writing transistor is used to write a data voltage to the pixel circuit, and the light emitting control transistor is used to be turned on in the light emitting stage so that the driving current can be transmitted to the light emitting device. The first transistor T1 can be connected between the data writing transistor and the first electrode of the first driving transistor T0, and the second transistor T2 can be connected between the light emitting control transistor and the first driving transistor T0.
[0085] Continue to refer Figure 1 The channel region of the first driving transistor T0 extends along a first direction X, the channel region of the first transistor T1 and the channel region of the second transistor T2 both extend along a second direction Y, and the first direction X intersects with the second direction Y.
[0086] The first electrode, the channel region and the second electrode of the first transistor T1 are arranged along the second direction Y, and the second electrode, the channel region and the first electrode of the second transistor T2 are arranged along the second direction Y.
[0087] The orthographic projection of the first gate portion 121 on the substrate 10 covers the orthographic projection of the second electrode of the first transistor T1 on the substrate 10 and the orthographic projection of the second electrode of the second transistor T2 on the substrate 10 .
[0088] For the first driving transistor T0, the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, or any transistor described below, the source region and the drain region of the transistor are located at both ends of the channel region, wherein the source region, the drain region and the channel region are all located in the active layer 11. In this embodiment, by performing certain doping in the source region and the drain region, the source region is formed as a source electrode, i.e., a first electrode, and the drain region is formed as a drain electrode, i.e., a second electrode of the first transistor T1, the channel region of the first transistor T1, the second electrode of the second transistor T2, and the channel region of the second transistor T2 are sequentially connected and formed into an integrated whole, which is recorded as a preset active sub-portion, and are all covered by the first gate portion 121.
[0089] Continue to refer Figure 1 and Figure 2 Optionally, the first gate portion 121 includes a first sub-portion A1 and a second sub-portion A2 arranged along the first direction X, and the first sub-portion A1 and the second sub-portion A2 are connected;
[0090] The orthographic projection of the first sub-portion A1 on the substrate 10 covers the orthographic projections of the channel region of the first driving transistor T0, the channel region of the first transistor T1, and the channel region of the second transistor T2 on the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection of the second sub-portion A2 on the substrate 10 has no overlap with the orthographic projections of the channel region of the first driving transistor T0, the channel region of the first transistor T1, and the channel region of the second transistor T2 on the substrate 10.
[0091] The first gate portion 121 includes a first sub-portion A1 and a second sub-portion A2, so that the edge of the first gate portion 121 exceeds the edge of the preset active sub-portion, so as to prevent the first gate portion 121 from shrinking due to other processes and thus affecting the device characteristics of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2. Optionally, the length of the orthographic projection of the second sub-portion A2 on the substrate 10 along the first direction X is greater than or equal to 1 micron, that is, along the first direction X, the length of the first gate portion 121 beyond the active layer 11 is greater than or equal to 1 micron, so as to ensure that the formed transistor is not affected by process fluctuations.
