The present invention relates to the field of display technology, in particular relates to an array substrate, a display device, and a method for manufacturing the array substrate.
A liquid crystal display (LCD) has become a mainstream product among the current flat panel display devices due to its characteristics of small size, low power consumption, no radiation, etc.
Currently, a more common liquid crystal display is a liquid crystal display of twisted nematic (TN) display mode. With the development of display technology, a liquid crystal display of advanced super dimension switch (ADS) display mode also appears, Nowadays, a thin film transistor—liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) is more mature technically. A liquid crystal display includes an array substrate and a color-filter substrate, wherein thin film transistors are formed on the array substrate, each of the thin film transistors includes a gate electrode, a source electrode and a drain electrode, and is commonly formed of an amorphous silicon (a-Si) material.
With the development of display technology, a manner in which a thin film transistor is formed of a polysilicon (p-Si) material appears. Specifically, an active region is formed first by using a polysilicon (p-Si) material, then crystallization and ion implantation are performed on the active region, thus a source electrode and a drain electrode of the thin film transistor are formed. Researches have disclosed that the performance of a thin film transistor formed of a polysilicon (p-Si) material is higher than that of a thin film transistor formed of an amorphous silicon material by more than 100 times. A polysilicon includes a high-temperature polysilicon and a low-temperature polysilicon. A thin film transistor formed of a low-temperature polysilicon not only has a high electron mobility but also can has a reduced size. Thus, the thin film transistor formed of a low-temperature polysilicon is widely used in an array substrate, thereby not only a high aperture ratio is realized but also the corresponding display device has advantages of high brightness and low power consumption.
Compared with a thin film transistor formed of an amorphous silicon material, a thin film transistor formed of a low-temperature polysilicon has a larger leakage current when it operates. Thus, in order to reduce the leakage current, as shown by a schematic diagram of the structure of the array substrate in
Compared with the array substrate comprising the thin film transistors formed of amorphous silicon material, the array substrate comprising the thin film transistors formed of polysilicon material requires a plurality of patterning processes when being manufactured. As shown in the diagrams of manufacturing steps (steps P1-P10) for the array substrate in

The present embodiment provides an array substrate. As shown in
The light shielding metal layers 3 are arranged between areas corresponding to the source electrode 6 and the drain electrode 7, and at least partially overlap with the gate electrodes 5 respectively in a projection direction. The active region 4 is formed of a low-temperature polysilicon material. The source electrode 6 and the drain electrode 7 are formed at the two opposite sides of the active region 4 by way of ion implantation (e.g., on implantation of a boron-containing material or a phosphorus-containing material).
In the present embodiment, the light shielding metal layer 3 partially overlaps with the active region 4, i.e., the light shielding metal layer 3 is arranged between the areas corresponding to the source electrode 6 and the drain electrode 7 so as to the light shielding metal layer 3 at least shields a part of the active region 4. Thus, a part of light iirradiating to the active region 4 is shielded, and the leakage current of the active region 4 is reduced. Of course, the light shielding metal layer 3 may completely overlap with the active region 4, so that the light shielding metal layer 3 completely covers the active region 4. Thus, light irradiating to the active region 4 is shielded completely, and the leakage current of the active region 4 is further reduced.
The light shielding metal layer 3 and the data line 2 are formed of a same electrically conductive material, so that the light shielding metal layer 3 and the data line 2 arranged in the same layer may be formed simultaneously by a single patterning process. Furthermore, since the electrically conductive material is opaque, the light shielding metal layer 3 may shield a part of light irradiating to the active region 4 and reduce the leakage current of the thin film transistor.
In the present embodiment, for example, lightly toped drains 8 are further arranged in the active region 4. The lightly toped drains 8 are arranged between the source electrode 6 and the drain electrode 7, and are respectively arranged at two sides of a region corresponding to the gate electrode 5. In the present embodiment, the lightly toped drains 8 may also reduce the leakage current of the thin film transistor.
The number of the gate electrodes is at least one, and the number of the light shielding metal layers 3 is at least one. In the present embodiment, the number of the gate electrodes 5 is two, and the number of the light shielding metal layers 3 is two. The positions where the light shielding metal layers 3 are arranged correspond to the positions of the gate electrodes 5. In, the present embodiment, the number of the gate electrodes 5 is set to be two, and the gate electrodes 5 can reduce the leakage current of the thin film transistor simultaneously. However, the present invention is not limited hereto, and the number of the gate electrodes and the number of the light shielding metal layers may be set as needed.
In the present embodiment, the array substrate further includes a buffer layer 9 arranged under the active region 4 and on the substrate 1. The light shielding metal layers 3 and the data line 2 are completely covered by the buffer layer 9. Since the active region 4 is formed of a low-temperature polysilicon material in the present embodiment, the buffer layer 9 is used to prevent an impurity contained in the substrate 1 from diffusing into the active region 4 of the thin film transistor and prevent an impact on characteristics of the thin film transistor such as a threshold voltage, a leakage current, and the like. At the same time, since low-temperature polysilicon is generally formed on the substrate 1 by a method of excimer laser annealing, the arrangement of the buffer layer 9 can further prevent excimer laser annealing from resulting in diffusion of am impurity contained in the substrate 1. Thus, the quality of a thin film transistor formed of low-temperature polysilicon is improved.
In the present embodiment, the array substrate further includes a gate insulating layer 10, as well as an intermediate dielectric layer 11, a first electrode, a passivation layer 13, and a second electrode which are arranged above the gate electrode 5 in this order. The gate insulating layer 10 is arranged on the active region 4 and under the gate electrode 5; the active region 4 and the buffer layer 9 are covered by the gate insulating layer 10; the second electrode at least partially overlaps with the first electrode in the orthogonal projection direction; the first electrode is of plate shape; and the second electrode is of slit shape. In addition, the buffer layer 9, the gate insulating layer 10, and the intermediate dielectric layer 11 are provided with a first via 15 at a position corresponding to the data line 2. The gate insulating layer 10 and the intermediate dielectric layer 11 are provided with a second via 16 at a position corresponding to the source electrode 6. The data line 2 and the source electrode 6 are electrically connected through the first via 15 and the second via 16.
In the present embodiment, the first electrode is a common electrode 12, and the second electrode is a pixel electrode 14. The gate insulating layer 10 and the intermediate dielectric layer 11 are provided with a third via 17 at a position corresponding to the drain electrode 7, and the passivation layer 13 is provided with a fourth via 18 at a position corresponding to the drain electrode 7. The pixel electrode 14 and the drain electrode 7 are electrically connected through the third via 17 and the fourth via 18.
It should be noted that, a fiat layer may be further arranged between the intermediate dielectric layer 11 and the first electrode. The flat layer can make the intermediate dielectric layer remain flat. Of course, no flat layer may be arranged between the intermediate dielectric layer 11 and the first electrode. The present embodiment does not include a flat layer, which leads to a thinner array substrate. In the present embodiment, the first electrode is of plate shape. It should be understood that the first electrode can also be of slit shape.
As for the above array substrate, the present embodiment further provides a method for manufacturing the array substrate, which includes: a step of forming data lines, scan lines, and light shielding metal layers and a step of forming thin film transistors on a substrate. Forming the thin film transistor includes a step of forming a gate electrode, a source electrode, a drain electrode, and an active region. Both the thin film transistor and the light shielding metal layers are formed in a plurality of pixel regions defined by the scan Lines and the data lines. The light shielding metal layers and the data lines are formed in the same layer on the substrate in a single step. The light shielding metal layers are formed under the active region and at least partially overlap with the active region in the orthogonal projection direction. A data line is close to the source electrode and does not overlap with the active region at least partially in the orthogonal projection direction.
As shown in

The patterning process may include only a photolithography process or include a photolithography process and an etching step, at the same time, may include other processes for forming a predetermined pattern such as printing, inkjet, and the like.

For example, the number of the light shielding metal layers 3 formed in the step S1 is two, and the number of the gate electrodes 5 formed in the step S3 is two. Positions where the light shielding metal layers 3 are arranged correspond to positions of the gate electrodes 5 respectively.
As a manufacturing method corresponding to a preferred structure of an array substrate, when a flat layer is formed between the intermediate dielectric layer 11 and the first electrode, a patterning process of forming a via for electrically connecting the pixel electrode 14 and, the drain electrode 7 in the flat layer may be one for forming the third via 17, thus no additional process is added (i.e., a patterning process corresponds to a step P7 (see
