Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to the fields of liquid crystal display technology, and in particular to a thin film transistor array substrate and a liquid crystal panel.


2. The Related Arts

Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display is an emerging flat-panel display. It has the advantages of the self-luminous, high contrast, thin, wide viewing angle, fast response, able for flexible display panels, and etc. Therefore, it has a very good development prospects.


OLED is a self-luminous display. Currently, the more mature technology is using low temperature poly silicon (LTPS) to manufacture the semiconductor layer of PMOS region and the NMOS region in CMOS circuits to drive the OELD display. Wherein, during the process of manufacturing the CMOS circuits using LTPS, it requires at least 9 times photoresist mask and at least 4 times doping processes (P-type ion doping, n-type ion doping, LDD doping and Ch doping). The production process is complex, and the cost of production is higher.


At the same time, in LTPS technology, because the carrier mobility of the polycrystalline silicon (poly Si) is large, it leads to the off current (Ioff) is larger, which easily leads to the formation of an image sticking. At the same time, large off current requires less W/L value. Therefore, the gate length value (L value) in the thin film transistor (TFT) is too large, the gate width (W value) too small. Currently, more S-type results in the increase of the TFT area of the active area (AA region), leading to decrease in aperture ratio.


Therefore, how to implement a thin film transistor array substrate with simple process and high opening rate for driving the OELD display is a serious problem.
