Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a TFT structure, more specifically, to a TFT liquid crystal component which reacts quickly at low temperature. Background Art

[0002] Usually, TFT liquid crystals react very slowly at temperatures above -10 degrees Celsius, which affects the driver's ability to check routes and reverse, and can easily cause accidents.

[0003] Chinese invention patent document CN116594214A discloses a solution for the slow response speed of liquid crystal modules in low temperature environments, characterized by comprising the following steps: S1: by making a heating layer on CG glass and directly etching an ITO heating wiring layer, since the CG surface is in direct contact with the liquid crystal screen surface, the heating layer transfers heat to the liquid crystal screen, and the heat transfer effect is good, so that the liquid crystal screen can be quickly heated to room temperature in a low temperature environment to avoid the display smear problem caused by a long response time; S2: silver paste is applied on three sides of the upper surface of the CG glass, and then a flexible circuit board (FPC) is directly placed on the silver paste; S3: a temperature sensor is placed on the liquid crystal screen, and a driver, amorphous silicon TFT, a heater and a controller are set in the heating layer. In the above S1, when the ambient temperature is -40°C, the surface of the liquid crystal module can be heated to 25°C within 2 minutes, ensuring a response speed of Max25ms. In the above S1, a separate transparent sensor heating layer can also be added to the CG, and the heating layer is fixed by OCA and CG glass. The addition of a separate transparent sensor heating layer on the CG can achieve a temperature rise of the surface of the liquid crystal module to 25°C within 1 minute when the ambient temperature is -40°C, ensuring a response speed of Max 25ms. The driver is the energy source of the heater, the amorphous silicon TFT is the switch control part of the heater, the driver is electrically connected to the heater, the heater can generate heat and dissipate heat when the power is turned on, the controller is electrically connected to the amorphous silicon TFT, and the temperature sensor is connected to the controller.

[0004] Obviously, the patent uses amorphous silicon TFT and temperature sensor in combination, which can quickly heat the LCD screen with less heat loss, and completely act on the liquid crystal without any impact on other components, and has a stronger ability to adapt to low temperatures. However, this structure is complex and the cost is too high.

[0005] Chinese invention patent document CN104465401A discloses a method for preparing a low-temperature polysilicon thin film of a thin film transistor, which is applied to a thin film transistor with an inverted gate structure, and is characterized in that the method comprises: depositing an isolation layer, an amorphous silicon layer and an anti-reflection insulation layer in sequence on a glass substrate pre-coated with a TFT metal gate; coating a photoresist on the anti-reflection insulation layer by a patterning process, and performing mask exposure and development by using the TFT metal gate; etching the anti-reflection insulation layer in the non-channel area, and stripping the photoresist, so that the anti-reflection insulation layer is formed on the amorphous silicon layer in the channel area, while the anti-reflection insulation layer is not formed on the amorphous silicon layer in the non-channel area; performing laser irradiation, and constructing a temperature gradient by using the difference between the presence or absence of the anti-reflection insulation layer in the channel area and the non-channel area, so as to realize artificially controlled super lateral growth of grains from the non-channel area to the channel area, thereby converting the amorphous silicon in the channel area into large-size polysilicon. The isolation layer and the anti-reflection insulation layer include a silicon dioxide film or a silicon nitride film or a combination of the two films; the thickness of the anti-reflection insulation layer is an odd multiple of 1 / 4 wavelength of the laser; the anti-reflection insulation layer prolongs the super cooling time of amorphous silicon crystallization and plays a role of insulation. The isolation layer, the amorphous silicon layer and the anti-reflection insulation layer are prepared by PECVD method; if the anti-reflection insulation layer is a silicon dioxide film, the preparation method of the silicon dioxide film also includes ozone solution cleaning method, laser irradiation method in oxygen environment and heating method in oxygen environment. The step of coating photoresist on the anti-reflection insulation layer by patterning process, and performing mask exposure and development by TFT metal gate includes: coating positive photoresist on the anti-reflection insulation layer by patterning process, and performing ultraviolet exposure and development. The step of performing laser irradiation, utilizing the difference between the presence or absence of an anti-reflection insulation layer between the channel region and the non-channel region to construct a temperature gradient, and realizing artificially controlled super lateral growth from the non-channel region to the channel region of the grain, thereby converting the amorphous silicon in the channel region into large-sized polycrystalline silicon, includes: performing laser irradiation by excimer laser annealing, utilizing the difference between the presence or absence of an anti-reflection insulation layer between the channel region and the non-channel region to construct a temperature gradient, and realizing artificially controlled super lateral growth from the non-channel region to the channel region of the grain, thereby converting the amorphous silicon in the channel region into large-sized polycrystalline silicon.

[0006] Obviously, the patent deposits the isolation layer, amorphous silicon layer and anti-reflective insulation layer in sequence, and coats the anti-reflective insulation layer with photoresist, performs exposure, and then etches the anti-reflective insulation layer in the non-channel area and performs photoresist stripping, thereby forming an anti-reflective insulation layer in the channel area and no anti-reflective insulation layer in the non-channel area. However, the structure and process of this anti-reflective insulation layer are complex and cannot solve the existing low-temperature failure problem. Utility Model Content
