技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及一种基板,且特别是涉及一种像素阵列基板。The present invention relates to a substrate, and in particular to a pixel array substrate.
背景技术 Background technique
现今社会多媒体技术相当发达,多半受惠于半导体元件与显示器的进步。就显示器而言,具有高画质、低消耗功率、无辐射等优越特性的薄膜晶体管液晶显示器已逐渐成为市场的主流。Multimedia technology in today's society is quite developed, mostly benefiting from the progress of semiconductor components and displays. As far as displays are concerned, thin film transistor liquid crystal displays with superior characteristics such as high image quality, low power consumption, and no radiation have gradually become the mainstream of the market.
随着人们对于显示器高分辨率的诉求,显示器内各像素(pixel)的面积势必要缩小,而显示器的元件面积也势必要减缩。然而,如图1所示,目前市面上的电容设计大多为平面式的结构。具体而言,通过在基板110上形成一第一电极112与一第二电极116,并配置一绝缘层114于第一电极112与第二电极116之间,以形成一电容结构,其中电容结构的电荷存储量的大小取决于电容相对于基板110的表面所占的面积大小。With people's demand for high resolution of the display, the area of each pixel (pixel) in the display must be reduced, and the area of the components of the display must also be reduced. However, as shown in FIG. 1 , most capacitor designs currently on the market are planar structures. Specifically, by forming a
因此,像是有机发光二极管(Organic Light Emitting Diode,OLED)显示器,在对应每个像素需要更多的薄膜晶体管数量时,欲得到高分辨率,则增加电容平面面积势必变得相当困难,而在电容平面面积无法缩小的情况下,为了得到可维持正常显示画面的电荷存储量,提高画面分辨率将变得困难。另一方面,像是电子纸(Electronic paper)显示器需要较大的电容设计以维持显示画面的灰阶,此时,受限于电荷存储量的要求而无法缩小显示器的像素面积,因而使显示器的分辨率受限。Therefore, like organic light emitting diode (Organic Light Emitting Diode, OLED) display, when the number of thin film transistors corresponding to each pixel is required more, in order to obtain high resolution, it is bound to become very difficult to increase the capacitance plane area, and in If the plane area of the capacitor cannot be reduced, it will be difficult to increase the screen resolution in order to obtain a charge storage capacity that can maintain a normal display screen. On the other hand, displays such as electronic paper (Electronic paper) require a larger capacitance design to maintain the gray scale of the display screen. At this time, due to the requirement of charge storage capacity, the pixel area of the display cannot be reduced. Resolution is limited.

基于上述,在本发明的像素阵列基板中,增加了电容在垂直于基板的方向上的面积,进而增加电荷存储量。因此,在高分辨率的需求使得像素尺寸微缩的情况下,可减少电容在基板上所占的面积以达到相同的开口率。也就是说,在不需要牺牲开口率的情况下即可提升电荷存储量。换言之,在相同的像素尺寸下,可增加开口率而提升显示器亮度。或是在相同亮度下,因为开口率的提升而可减少背光亮度。另一方面,在维持相同的电荷存储量下,可减少电容在基板上所占的面积,使像素尺寸微缩,提高显示器的分辨率。Based on the above, in the pixel array substrate of the present invention, the area of the capacitor in the direction perpendicular to the substrate is increased, thereby increasing the charge storage capacity. Therefore, when the demand for high resolution makes the pixel size shrink, the area occupied by the capacitor on the substrate can be reduced to achieve the same aperture ratio. That is to say, the charge storage capacity can be increased without sacrificing the aperture ratio. In other words, under the same pixel size, the aperture ratio can be increased to increase the brightness of the display. Or under the same brightness, the brightness of the backlight can be reduced due to the increase of the aperture ratio. On the other hand, while maintaining the same charge storage capacity, the area occupied by the capacitor on the substrate can be reduced, the pixel size can be miniaturized, and the resolution of the display can be improved.
为让本发明的上述特征和优点能更明显易懂,下文特举实施例,并配合所附附图作详细说明如下。In order to make the above-mentioned features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the following specific embodiments are described in detail together with the accompanying drawings.

请参照图2F,在第二绝缘层230上形成多条第二信号线(未绘示)、多个上电极244、源极242b以及漏极242c,其中源极242b以及漏极242c分别通过接触窗开口W1与源极掺杂区216b以及漏极掺杂区216c电连接。此时,多个有源元件240制作完成。在本实施例中,有源元件240部分埋置于第一绝缘层220中,且第二绝缘层230位于有源元件240的栅极222与源极242b以及漏极242c之间。在此,源极242b以及漏极242c被共同定义为源漏极。此外,上电极244与下电极224通过第二绝缘层230对应地耦合为多个电容C1。电容C1的上电极244相对基板210的表面S具有起伏。在本实施例中,电容C1的上电极244垂直于表面S的剖面呈波浪状。此外,电容C1的上电极244相对表面S的最大高低差D为50纳米至2000纳米。2F, a plurality of second signal lines (not shown), a plurality of
接着,形成一第三绝缘层250,以覆盖第二绝缘层230、第二信号线与上电极244,并可选择性地将电容C1的波浪状结构填平。在本实施例中,第三绝缘层250的材质例如是有机光致抗蚀剂(Organic photoresist)。此外,第三绝缘层250具有接触窗开口W2。在本实施例中,形成接触窗开口W2的方法例如是蚀刻,但本发明不以此为限。Next, a third
请参照图2G,在第三绝缘层250上形成多个像素电极260,且像素电极260通过接触窗开口W2电连接对应的有源元件240的漏极242c。至此,像素阵列基板200即被完成。Referring to FIG. 2G , a plurality of
接下来将以此像素阵列基板200的上视图做进一步的描述。图3为图2G的像素阵列基板的上视示意图,且沿图3中A-A’剖线的剖面为图2G。Next, the top view of the
请参照图3与图2G,本实施例的像素阵列基板200包括具有一表面S的基板210以及配置基板210上的多条扫描线226、多条数据线246、多条共用线228、多个电容C1、多个有源元件240与多个像素电极260。其中每条共用线228耦接于多个电容C1,且各条共用线228连接多个下电极224。此外,栅极222于基板210的正投影(未绘示)与通道216a于基板210的正投影(未绘示)重叠。另外,每一像素电极260分别通过不同的有源元件240与对应的扫描线226及数据线246电连接。在本实施例中,从垂直表面S的方向观之,各电容C1的上电极244具有互相平行的多条凹陷区A1。3 and 2G, the

值得注意的是,本实施例的像素阵列基板500具有与图3中的像素阵列基板200相似的功能。举例而言,像素阵列基板500利用互相平行的多条凹陷区A3增加电容C3垂直于基板510方向上的表面积,进而增加电荷存储量。因此,本实施例的像素阵列基板500可在相同的开口率下提升电荷存储量,或是在相同的电荷存储量下减少电容C3在基板510上所占的面积。换言之,本实施例的像素阵列基板500在维持相同的电荷存储量下,可通过减少电容C3在基板510上所占的面积,使像素尺寸微缩,进而提高显示器的分辨率。It should be noted that the
另外,电容C3的上电极544除了可具有上述互相平行的多条凹陷区A3外,在其他实施例中,也可以多个点状凹陷区取代条状凹陷区A3。图7为本发明另一实施例的像素阵列基板的上视示意图。请参照图7,本实施例的像素阵列基板700与图6中的像素阵列基板500具有相似的结构,且相似的符号具代表相似的构件且具有相似的作用,故不再赘述。二者差异处在于本实施例的像素阵列基板700的电容C4的上电极544’具有多个点状凹陷区A4。此外,多个点状凹陷区A4也具有上述互相平行的多条凹陷区A3的功能。举例而言,多个点状凹陷区A2可增加电容C2垂直于基板210方向上的表面积,进而增加电荷存储量。此外,多个点状凹陷区A2也可在相同的电荷存储量下减少电容C2在基板210上所占的面积,使像素尺寸微缩,提高显示器的分辨率。In addition, the
综上所述,在本发明的像素阵列基板中,增加了电容在垂直于基板的方向上的面积,进而增加电荷存储量。因此,在高分辨率的需求使得像素尺寸微缩的情况下,可以不用牺牲像素阵列基板的开口率,且在减少电容在基板上所占的面积下达到优良的电荷存储量。换言之,本发明实施例的像素阵列基板在相同的像素尺寸下,可增加开口率,进而提升显示器亮度。或是在相同显示器的亮度下,因为开口率的提升而可减少背光亮度。另一方面,在维持相同的电荷存储量下,可减少电容在基板上所占的面积,使像素尺寸微缩,提高显示器的分辨率,进而适用于需要较大电荷存储量的显示器或是需要较多有源元件的显示器,例如是电子纸或是有机发光二极管等显示器。To sum up, in the pixel array substrate of the present invention, the area of the capacitor in the direction perpendicular to the substrate is increased, thereby increasing the charge storage capacity. Therefore, when the pixel size is miniaturized due to the requirement of high resolution, the aperture ratio of the pixel array substrate can be reduced without sacrificing the area occupied by the capacitor on the substrate to achieve excellent charge storage capacity. In other words, under the same pixel size, the pixel array substrate of the embodiment of the present invention can increase the aperture ratio, thereby improving the brightness of the display. Or under the same brightness of the display, the brightness of the backlight can be reduced due to the increase of the aperture ratio. On the other hand, while maintaining the same charge storage capacity, the area occupied by the capacitor on the substrate can be reduced, the pixel size can be miniaturized, and the resolution of the display can be improved. A display with multiple active elements, such as an electronic paper or an OLED display.
