[0061] Detailed description
[0062] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0063] In this disclosure, a transistor is a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate, a drain, and a source. A transistor has a channel region between its drain (drain terminal, drain region, or drain) and its source (source terminal, source region, or source), and current can flow through the drain, the channel region, and the source. In this disclosure, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.
[0064] In this disclosure, the transistor can be a thin-film transistor or a field-effect transistor, etc. This disclosure uses a thin-film transistor as an example for illustration.
[0065] In this disclosure, the first terminal can be the drain and the second terminal can be the source, or vice versa. In cases where transistors with opposite polarities are used or where the current direction changes during circuit operation, the functions of the "source" and "drain" are sometimes interchanged. Therefore, in this disclosure, the "source" and "drain" can be interchanged.
[0066] In related technologies, the pixel circuit of a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel includes one or two transistors, which is relatively simple, thus enabling ultra-high pixel density (Pixels Per Inch, PPI), i.e., the number of pixels per inch. LCD panels have various display modes, such as ADS (Advanced Super Dimension Switch) mode, TN (twisted nematic) mode, and VA (Vertical Alignment) mode. In ADS mode, both the pixel electrode and the common electrode are located on one side of the display substrate. In TN and VA modes, the pixel electrode and the common electrode are located on opposite sides of the liquid crystal layer, with the pixel electrode on one side of the display substrate and the common electrode on the opposite substrate side. The working principle of ADS mode is that the liquid crystal molecules lie in a plane parallel to the substrate. When there is no voltage, light passes through the lower polarizer and forms linearly polarized light parallel to the short axis of the liquid crystal molecules. The polarization direction cannot rotate, so it is absorbed by the upper polarizer and cannot be emitted. When a voltage is applied, a lateral electric field is formed on both sides of the liquid crystal, and the liquid crystal molecules align along the direction of the electric field. Light passing through the lower polarizer and the liquid crystal layer becomes elliptically polarized and can pass through the upper polarizer. The working principle of TN mode is that, in the absence of voltage, the liquid crystal molecules are twisted and aligned at 90° under the action of the alignment film. Light passes through the lower polarizer and the liquid crystal molecules and exits from the upper polarizer. When a voltage is applied, except for the liquid crystal near the upper and lower alignment films, most of the other liquid crystal molecules are vertically aligned. Light passing through the lower polarizer passes through the liquid crystal layer without deflection. Because it is parallel to the polarization axis of the upper polarizer, the light is absorbed and cannot escape. The working principle of VA mode is that the liquid crystal molecules are aligned perpendicular to the substrate. In the absence of voltage, light passing through the lower polarizer forms linearly polarized light parallel to the short axis of the liquid crystal molecules. The polarization direction cannot rotate, so it is absorbed by the upper polarizer and cannot escape. When a voltage is applied, the liquid crystal molecules deflect along the direction of the electric field. Light passing through the lower polarizer and the liquid crystal layer becomes elliptically polarized and can pass through the upper polarizer.
[0067] The structure of the display substrate is described below using ADS mode as an example.
[0068] This disclosure provides a display substrate, as shown in FIG1, which includes: a substrate 11 (not shown in FIG1), and a display area AA and a non-display area NA disposed on one side of the substrate 11.
[0069] As shown in Figure 1, the non-display area NA includes a gate drive circuit GOA, which includes a first capacitor C (not shown in Figure 1). The display area AA includes a switching transistor T1 and a transparent electrode TE, and the gate G of the switching transistor T1 is connected to the gate drive circuit GOA.
[0070] For example, as shown in FIG1, the display area AA includes a scan line GL extending in the row direction and a data line DL extending in the column direction. The scan line GL and the data line DL intersect each other to form a plurality of sub-pixels PX. Each sub-pixel PX includes a switching transistor T1 and a transparent electrode TE.
[0071] As shown in Figures 2, 4, or 6, the first capacitor C includes a plurality of sub-capacitors C1 sequentially stacked along the normal direction f1 of the substrate 11. The orthographic projections of the plurality of sub-capacitors C1 on the substrate 11 at least partially overlap, and the plurality of sub-capacitors C1 are connected in parallel with each other. Specifically, along the normal direction f1 of the substrate 11, the plurality of sub-capacitors C1 are located on the side of the transparent electrode TE closest to the substrate 11.
[0072] In Figures 2, 4, or 6, a shows a planar structural diagram of the display area AA and the non-display area NA, and b shows a cross-sectional structural diagram of the display area CC' and the non-display area BB'.
[0073] Referring to Figure 3b, an equivalent structural schematic diagram of the first capacitor C shown in Figure 2 is shown. The first capacitor C in Figure 2 includes two sub-capacitors C1 stacked and connected in parallel. Referring to Figure 5b, an equivalent structural schematic diagram of the first capacitor C shown in Figure 4 is shown. The first capacitor C in Figure 4 includes three sub-capacitors C1 stacked and connected in parallel. Referring to Figure 7b, an equivalent structural schematic diagram of the first capacitor C shown in Figure 6 is shown. The first capacitor C in Figure 6 includes two sub-capacitors C1 stacked and connected in parallel.
[0074] Since the first capacitor C includes multiple sub-capacitors C1 connected in parallel, and the orthographic projections of the multiple sub-capacitors C1 on the substrate 11 overlap, the technical solution of this disclosure can increase the capacitance value per unit area of the first capacitor C. While keeping the capacitance value of the first capacitor C unchanged, the area occupied by the first capacitor C can be reduced, thereby saving the space occupied by the gate drive circuit GOA and reducing the bezel size.
[0075] For example, multiple sub-capacitors C1 in the first capacitor C can be formed synchronously with the display area AA, without the need to increase the number of masks. The process is simple and feasible, which is beneficial to improving product specifications.
[0076] For example, the transparent electrode TE can be made of transparent conductive materials, such as metal oxides like ITO, IZO, IGZO, IGO, and ZTO. Transparent conductive materials have higher transmittance of visible light than metallic materials.
[0077] For example, as shown in FIG2, FIG4 or FIG6, the transparent electrode TE includes a pixel electrode E1 and a common electrode E2, wherein the pixel electrode E1 is connected to the first terminal of the switching transistor T1. In this case, the first capacitor C is located on the side of the pixel electrode E1 and the common electrode E2 near the substrate 11.
[0078] As shown in b of any one of Figures 3, 5 and 7, the sub-capacitor C1 includes two plates JB stacked along the normal direction f1 of the substrate 11, such as a lower plate and an upper plate stacked together, with the lower plate located on the side of the upper plate closer to the substrate 11.
[0079] For example, as shown in b of any one of Figures 3, 5 and 7, the plurality of sub-capacitors C1 include a first sub-capacitor C11 and a second sub-capacitor C12 arranged adjacent to each other. The first sub-capacitor C11 is located on the side of the second sub-capacitor C12 that is close to the substrate 11. The upper electrode of the first sub-capacitor C11 and the lower electrode of the second sub-capacitor C12 are the same electrode JB, and the lower electrode of the first sub-capacitor C11 is connected to the upper electrode of the second sub-capacitor C12.
[0080] For example, the first sub-capacitor C11 and the second sub-capacitor C12 are two adjacent sub-capacitors C1 in the first capacitor C. For example, as shown in Figure 5b, the first capacitor C includes three sub-capacitors C1 stacked together. The first sub-capacitor C11 and the second sub-capacitor C12 can be two adjacent sub-capacitors C1 that are far away from the substrate 11, or they can be two adjacent sub-capacitors C1 that are close to the substrate 11 (as shown in Figure 5b).
[0081] For example, as shown in FIG2, FIG4 or FIG6, the non-display area NA further includes: a transparent pattern TP, which is disposed on the side of the first capacitor C away from the substrate 11, and is disposed in the same layer as the transparent electrode TE and is made of the same material.
[0082] The transparent pattern TP can be set in the same layer as the pixel electrode E1 (as shown in Figure 2, Figure 4 or Figure 6) or the common electrode E2. This disclosure does not make any specific limitation in this regard.
[0083] In order to connect the lower plate of the first sub-capacitor C11 to the upper plate of the second sub-capacitor C12, in some examples, as shown in Figure 4, the lower plate of the first sub-capacitor C11 and the upper plate of the second sub-capacitor C12 are connected through a first via H1, which is located between the lower plate of the first sub-capacitor C11 and the upper plate of the second sub-capacitor C12.
[0084] To connect the lower plate of the first sub-capacitor C11 to the upper plate of the second sub-capacitor C12, in some other examples, as shown in Figure 2 or Figure 6, the lower plate of the first sub-capacitor C11 is connected to the transparent pattern TP through a second via H2, and the upper plate of the second sub-capacitor C12 is connected to the transparent pattern TP through a third via H3. The second via H2 is located between the lower plate of the first sub-capacitor C11 and the transparent pattern TP, and the third via H3 is located between the upper plate of the second sub-capacitor C12 and the transparent pattern TP.
[0085] In this example, the lower plate of the first sub-capacitor C11 and the upper plate of the second sub-capacitor C12 are connected by a transparent pattern TP bridge.
[0086] For example, as shown in Figures 2, 4, or 6, the plurality of plates JB constituting the first capacitor C may include: a first plate JB1, which is disposed in the same layer as the gate G of the switching transistor T1 and is made of the same material. The gate G of the switching transistor T1 is, for example, disposed in the same layer as the scan line GL.
[0087] For example, as shown in Figures 2, 4, or 6, the plurality of plates JB constituting the first capacitor C may include a second plate JB2, which is disposed in the same layer as the second electrode S of the switching transistor T1 and is made of the same material. The second electrode S of the switching transistor T1 is, for example, disposed in the same layer as the data line DL.
[0088] For example, as shown in FIG2 or FIG4, the plurality of plates JB constituting the first capacitor C may include: a third plate JB3, which is disposed in the same layer as the channel CH of the switching transistor T1 and includes a conductive channel CH material.
[0089] For example, the channel CH material of the switching transistor T1 is IGZO, and correspondingly, the material of the third plate JB3 is conductive IGZO.
[0090] For example, as shown in FIG2, FIG4 or FIG6, the plurality of plates JB constituting the first capacitor C may include: a fourth plate JB4, which is disposed in the same layer as the shielding pattern ZD of the switching transistor T1, and the shielding pattern ZD is disposed on the side of the channel CH near the substrate 11.
[0091] For example, as shown in FIG4 or FIG6, the first capacitor C includes a first plate JB1 and a second plate JB2, and the first plate JB1 and the second plate JB2 are arranged adjacent to each other.
[0092] For example, as shown in FIG2, the first capacitor C includes a first electrode JB1 and a second electrode JB2, and at least one electrode JB is disposed between the first electrode JB1 and the second electrode JB2 in the normal direction f1 of the substrate 11. In FIG2, a third electrode JB3 is disposed between the first electrode JB1 and the second electrode JB2.
[0093] For example, at least one electrode JB in each sub-capacitor C1 is a metal electrode, which comprises an opaque metal material.
[0094] For example, the first electrode plate JB1, the second electrode plate JB2, and the fourth electrode plate JB4 can all be metal electrodes.
[0095] For example, at least two metal plates of the plurality of sub-capacitors C1 have orthogonal projection boundaries on the substrate 11 that at least partially overlap. This further saves the area occupied by the first capacitor C.
[0096] Referring to Figure 8, a schematic diagram of the planar structure of the first capacitor C shown in Figure 2 is presented. As can be seen from Figure 8, the boundaries of the first plate JB1 and the second plate JB2 roughly coincide within the effective area of the first capacitor C.
[0097] For example, as shown in Figures 2, 4, or 6, the switching transistor T1 has a top-gate structure, meaning that the gate G of the switching transistor T1 is located on the side of the channel CH away from the substrate 11. Of course, the switching transistor T1 can also have a bottom-gate structure, meaning that the gate G of the switching transistor T1 is located on the side of the channel CH closer to the substrate 11. This disclosure does not specifically limit this.
[0098] In some embodiments, the channel CH of the switching transistor T1 comprises a semiconductor material M1OaNb, wherein M1 is a single metal or a combination of multiple metals, a > 0 and b ≥ 0, O represents oxygen, and N represents nitrogen. That is, the semiconductor material is a metal oxide material or a metal nitride material. Suitable metal oxide materials include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), indium gallium tin oxide (IGTO), indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO), indium gallium oxide (IGO), indium gallium zinc tin oxide (IGZTO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), zinc tin oxide (ZTO), indium-free metal oxides (In-free OS), rare earth doped oxides (Ln-OS, such as rare earth element doped IGZO / IZO), zinc oxide (ZnO), gallium oxide (GaO), indium oxide (InO), HfInZnO (HIZO), ZnO:F, In2O3:Sn, In2O3:Mo, Cd2SnO4, ZnO:Al, TiO2:Nb, and Cd-Sn-O. The material of the channel CH can be amorphous, partially crystalline, single crystal or polycrystalline, and can also be a single layer or multilayer structure.
[0099] Suitable metal oxynitride materials include, but are not limited to, zinc oxynitride, indium oxynitride, gallium oxynitride, tin oxynitride, cadmium oxynitride, aluminum oxynitride, germanium oxynitride, titanium oxynitride, silicon oxynitride, or combinations thereof. In one example, the channel CH material includes indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO).
[0100] For example, as shown in FIG9, the gate drive circuit GOA further includes an output transistor M3, and one electrode of the first capacitor C is connected to the gate of the output transistor M3, and the other electrode is connected to the first electrode of the output transistor M3.
[0101] For example, as shown in FIG9, the gate drive circuit GOA includes a plurality of cascaded shift registers 91. Each shift register 91 includes an output transistor M3 and a first capacitor C, and the output terminal OUT of the shift register 91 is connected to the first terminal of the output transistor M3 and the gate G of the switching transistor T1, respectively. The output terminal OUT of the shift register 91 and the gate G of the switching transistor T1 are connected through a scan line GL.
[0102] For example, a schematic diagram of a shift register 91 is shown with reference to FIG9. As shown in FIG9, the shift register 91 includes multiple transistors and a capacitor, and the multiple transistors include an output transistor M3. The shift register 91 shown in FIG9 is an 18T1C structure, that is, it includes 18 transistors (such as M1 to M18) and 1 capacitor (such as a first capacitor C).
[0103] It should be noted that the number of transistors and capacitors included in shift register 91 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0104] Referring to Figure 10, a schematic diagram showing the area proportions of the components in the shift register 91 in some embodiments is provided. As shown in Figure 10, in some embodiments, the area occupied by the first capacitor C is approximately 6000-10000 μm. 2 (e.g., 8000μm) 2 (Second only to the output transistor M3, which occupies an area of 16000-20000μm) 2 (e.g., 18000μm) 2 ).
[0105] The technical solutions provided in this disclosure are illustrated below with reference to Figures 2, 4, and 6.
[0106] In the first example, as shown in Figure 2, the first capacitor C includes a fourth electrode JB4, a third electrode JB3, and a first electrode JB1, which are sequentially stacked along the normal direction f1 of the substrate 11. The fourth electrode JB4 is disposed close to the substrate 11. The shielding pattern ZD is disposed on the same layer as the second electrode S of the switching transistor T1. The fourth electrode JB4 and the second electrode JB2 are the same electrode JB.
[0107] As shown in Figure 2, the fourth electrode JB4 and the third electrode JB3 constitute the first sub-capacitor C11, with the fourth electrode JB4 being the lower electrode of the first sub-capacitor C11 and the third electrode JB3 being the upper electrode of the first sub-capacitor C11. The third electrode JB3 and the first electrode JB1 constitute the second sub-capacitor C12, with the third electrode JB3 being the lower electrode of the second sub-capacitor C12 and the first electrode JB1 being the upper electrode of the second sub-capacitor C12. The fourth electrode JB4 and the first electrode JB1 are connected to the transparent pattern TP through the second via H2 and the third via H3. The transparent pattern TP is disposed on the same layer as the pixel electrode E1. The third electrode JB3 is also connected to the output terminal OUT of the shift register 91, and the fourth electrode JB4 and the first electrode JB1 are also connected to the gate of the output transistor M3.
[0108] As shown in Figure 2, the first capacitor C further includes: a buffer layer disposed between the fourth plate JB4 and the third plate JB3, and a gate insulating layer GI disposed between the third plate JB3 and the first plate JB1. The buffer layer may include, for example, stacked silicon nitride (such as SiNx, x>0) and silicon oxide (such as SiOy, y>0), and the gate insulating layer GI may include, for example, silicon oxide (such as SiOz, z>0), and the values of x, y, and z may be the same or different.
[0109] Referring to FIG11, the capacitance value of the first capacitor C shown in the first example and the result of comparison with the capacitance value of the first capacitor in the first embodiment as a control group are shown. In the first example, the first capacitor C is equivalent to the first sub-capacitor C11 and the second sub-capacitor C12 connected in parallel (as shown in FIG3b), and the first capacitor C in the first embodiment is equivalent to the first sub-capacitor C11 and the second sub-capacitor C12 connected in series (as shown in FIG3a).
[0110] As shown in Figure 11, the capacitance per unit area of the first capacitor C in the first example is approximately four times that of the first capacitor C in the first embodiment.
