Description

Array substrate and display device

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202311659648.5 filed in China on November 30, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to an array substrate and a display device. Background Art

[0004] In the related art, as display devices increasingly develop towards narrow bezels, high refresh rates, high resolutions, and high pixel per inch (PPI), the display substrates used need to meet the requirements of increased pixel density and aperture ratio. The corresponding array substrates need to use high-mobility active layer materials and smaller transistors, and adopt a small hole design to improve the aperture ratio / transmittance. Oxide materials have become a common active layer material used in transistors due to their certain transparency, high mobility, and relatively simple preparation process. Typically, the array substrate of a display panel has a gate metal layer, a source / drain metal layer, a semiconductor layer, an organic layer, an insulating layer, and two transparent conductive layers. The two transparent conductive layers are divided into a bottom transparent electrode and an upper transparent electrode. Display technology requires digging a hole in the organic layer (the organic layer can be a resin layer) and further etching an insulating layer hole in the middle, so that the upper transparent conductive layer is adjacent to the drain metal. However, the transparent electrode needs to effectively cover all the resin layer holes and the insulating layer holes to prevent the etching solution from penetrating and corroding during the etching process. However, high pixel density is low, and the resin pores are small. When the transparent electrode fully covers the resin layer pores, it is not conducive to the spread of the applied alignment liquid around the resin pores. Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the alignment liquid coating on the plate surface. An APR (Asahi Photosensitive Resins) plate is hung on the plate ketone. The APR carries the alignment liquid, which is transferred to the array substrate surface after being printed on the array substrate. The surface of the APR plate is densely dotted, and each dot is a boss. The gaps between the bosses carry the alignment liquid. When the transparent electrode effectively covers all the resin layer pores, the alignment liquid is difficult to spread evenly here, resulting in black dots on the grayscale display screen.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] The main purpose of the present disclosure is to provide an array substrate and a display device, which solves the problem that the existing array substrate is transferred to the surface of the array substrate after printing on the surface of the array substrate, while the surface of the APR plate is densely dotted, each dot is a boss, and the gaps between the bosses are filled with alignment liquid. When the transparent electrode effectively covers all the holes in the resin layer, the alignment liquid is not easy to spread evenly here, resulting in black dot-like defects on the grayscale display screen.
