The pixel electrode PX is located between the active layer 121 and the gate electrode 122. The gate electrode 122 is located at the same layer as the scan line GL and is made of the same metal layer. The gate electrode 122 may be a protrusion protruding from the scan line GL. The shape of the gate 122 is not limited in this application. It may be a semi-elliptical shape as shown in fig. 1, or may be a rectangular, triangular, polygonal, or other irregular shape.

A second insulating layer 14 is disposed between the channel region 1212 and the pixel electrode PX. The second insulating layer 14 has a second via 14a formed therein. The pixel electrode PX is electrically connected to the channel region 1212 via the second via hole 14 a. Specifically, the pixel electrode PX may extend into the second via hole 14a to be electrically connected with the channel region 1212. Further, a third insulating layer 15 is provided between the pixel electrode PX and the gate electrode 122.
It is to be understood that the present application does not limit the type of thin film transistor. Referring to fig. 3, in another embodiment, the thin film transistor 12 is a bottom gate thin film transistor 12.
The gate electrode 122 is positioned at the first side 121a of the active layer 121. The data line DL is located between the active layer 121 and the gate electrode 122. The gate electrode 122 is located at the same layer as the scan line GL and is made of the same metal layer. The pixel electrode PX is positioned at the second side 121b of the active layer 121.
A first insulating layer 13 is disposed between the conductor region 1211 and the data line DL. A first via hole 13a is opened in the first insulating layer 13. The conductor region 1211 is electrically connected to the data line DL via the first via hole 13 a. The conductor region 1211 extends into the first via hole 13a to be electrically connected to the data line DL. A second insulating layer 14 is disposed between the channel region 1212 and the pixel electrode PX. A second via 14a is opened in the second insulating layer 14. The pixel electrode PX is electrically connected to the channel region 1212 via the second via hole 14 a. Specifically, the pixel electrode PX extends into the second via hole 14a to be electrically connected to the channel region 1212. In addition, a third insulating layer 15 is disposed between the data line DL and the gate electrode 122.
It is understood that the array substrate 10 may further include a driving chip. The driving chip is electrically connected to the data lines DL and the scan lines GL and provides driving signals to the data lines DL and the scan lines GL. The working principle of the array substrate 10 is as follows: the driving chip supplies a data signal to the data line DL. The driving chip supplies a scan signal to the scan line GL. The gate electrode 122 is driven by the scan signal to make the channel region 1212 conduct the conductor region 1211 and the pixel electrode PX, so that the data signal is transmitted to the pixel electrode PX through the data line DL, the conductor region 1211 and the channel region 1212, thereby controlling the display.
The application provides an array substrate, it includes: a data line extending in a first direction; a scan line extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction; the pixel electrode is positioned in a region enclosed by the scanning line and the data line; and a thin film transistor electrically connected between the data line and the pixel electrode, wherein the thin film transistor includes: an active layer including a conductor region and a channel region connected, the conductor region being electrically connected to the data line, the channel region being electrically connected to the pixel electrode; and the grid electrode is electrically connected with the scanning line and is arranged corresponding to the channel region. The array substrate utilizes the conductor region of the active layer to be directly connected with the data line, and utilizes the channel region of the active layer to be directly connected with the pixel electrode, so that a source electrode and a drain electrode in the existing thin film transistor structure are omitted, the thin film transistor structure is simplified on the premise of realizing the switching function of the thin film transistor, the size of the thin film transistor is reduced, the size of a driving unit of the array substrate is reduced, and the resolution ratio is improved.
With continued reference to fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, an orthogonal projection T1 of the channel region 1212 on the plane a of the gate 122 completely covers the gate 122. Thus, the pixel structure can be reduced while maintaining a better switching effect. Specifically, the gate 122 can be turned off tightly, thereby preventing light leakage. Specifically, the orthographic projection T1 of the channel region 1212 on the plane a of the gate 122 may be slightly larger than the gate 122. Further, the orthographic projection T1 of the channel region 1212 on the plane a of the scan line GL covers a segment of the scan line GL in the second direction D2. The "coverage" here may be either complete coverage or partial coverage. Thereby, the switching effect of the channel region 1212 may be enhanced.
In one embodiment, the gate 122 has a semi-elliptical shape and the channel region 1212 has a substantially triangular shape. Specifically, the bottom side of the channel region 1212 may be substantially parallel to the scan line GL. By substantially triangular is meant an approximate, non-standard triangle, which may also be polygonal, but with a triangular appearance.
The orthographic projection T2 of the conductor region 1211 on the plane B on which the data line DL is located covers a section of the data line DL in the first direction D1. Thereby, the electrical connection of the data line DL to the conductor region 1211 is facilitated.
Conductor region 1211 may have a generally triangular shape. So that the entire active layer 121 appears substantially triangular in plan view. By substantially triangular is meant an approximate, non-standard triangle, which may also be polygonal, but with a triangular appearance. With such an arrangement, the area of the active layer 121 can be reduced, and the light transmittance can be improved. In addition, the bottom side of the conductor region 1211 may be substantially parallel to the data line DL.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic top view of the active layer 121 and the pixel electrode PX of the array substrate 10. Specifically, the channel region 1212 and the conductor region 1211 have one common side L. The orthogonal projection of the common side L on the pixel electrode PX divides one top angle α of the pixel electrode PX into two parts.
The material of the channel region 1212 may comprise intrinsic semiconductor material and may also comprise doped semiconductor material. The intrinsic semiconductor material is, for example, amorphous silicon or polycrystalline silicon. The polysilicon may be low temperature polysilicon. Doped semiconductor materials, such as amorphous silicon or polysilicon, are doped with phosphorus or boron, etc. The doped semiconductor material has a higher conductivity. The material of the conductor region 1211 includes a conductor material. The conductor material may be a conductible semiconductor material, such as amorphous silicon or polysilicon. The polysilicon may be low temperature polysilicon. The method of conductimerization may be ion doping. The doping ions may be, for example, phosphorus or boron. It is to be understood that the materials of the channel region 1212 and the conductor region 1211 are not limited in this application as long as the conductor region 1211 comprises a conductor material and the channel region 1211 comprises a semiconductor material. In one embodiment, the material of the channel region 1212 may also include a lightly doped semiconductor material, and the material of the conductor region 1211 includes a conductor material formed of a heavily doped semiconductor material. Specifically, the channel region 1212 has a first doping concentration and the conductor region 1211 has a second doping concentration. The first doping concentration is less than the second doping concentration.
The gate electrode 122, the data line DL, and the scan line GL may be made of, for example, tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), a copper niobium (CuNb) alloy, or a laminate of copper (Cu) and molybdenum (Mo), a laminate of copper (Cu) and molybdenum titanium (MoTi), a laminate of copper (Cu) and titanium (Ti), a laminate of aluminum (Al) and molybdenum (Mo), a laminate of molybdenum (Mo) and tantalum (Ta), a laminate of molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W), or a laminate of molybdenum (Mo) -aluminum (Al) -molybdenum (Mo).
The material of the first insulating layer 13, the second insulating layer 14, and the third insulating layer 15 may be selected from silicon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, silicon oxynitride, and a stack thereof.
The application also provides a manufacturing method of the array substrate, which can be used for manufacturing the array substrate.
