Description

阵列基板及其制作方法 技术领域
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种阵列基板及其制作方法。
背景技术
液晶显示器(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)是目前市场上应用最为广泛的显示产品,其生产工艺技术十分成熟,产品良率高,生产成本相对较低,市场接受度高。
现有市场上的液晶显示器大部分为背光型液晶显示装置,其包括液晶显示面板及背光模组。通常液晶显示面板由彩膜(Color Filter,CF)基板、阵列(Array)基板、夹于彩膜基板与阵列基板之间的液晶及密封框胶(Sealant)组成,其中,CF基板主要包括用于通过色阻单元(R/G/B)形成有色光的彩色滤光层、用于防止像素边缘漏光的黑色矩阵(Black Matrix,BM)、以及用于维持盒厚的隔垫物(Photo Spacer,PS),在大尺寸液晶显示面板中,通常会使用两种类型以上的隔垫物,如在CF基板上设置高度不同的主隔垫物(Main PS)和辅助隔垫物(Sub PS),起到多级缓冲的作用,以防止各种Mura或者不良的发生。
COA(Color Filter on Array)技术是将彩色滤光层制备在阵列基板上的技术。由于COA结构的显示面板不存在彩膜基板与阵列基板的对位问题,因此可以降低显示面板制备过程中对盒制程的难度,避免了对盒时的误差,因此黑色矩阵可以设计为窄线宽,提高了开口率。但是追求更好观影效果如曲面显示器,并且更低成本的显示面板已成为技术开发人员持之以恒的研究课题。黑色隔垫物(Black Photo Spacer,BPS)材料是一种新型材料,它既具有传统技术中隔垫物材料的特性,如较优秀的弹性回复力及对液晶较低的污染等,而且还具有较高的光学密度(optical density,OD)值,可以起到遮光作用而达到黑色矩阵的效果。一种新型的BM-Less技术是基于COA技术上将BM与PS集合于同一BPS材料且同一制程完成并设计在Array基板上的一种技术,与传统的液晶显示技术比较,将黑色矩阵、主隔垫物、辅助隔垫物、及彩色滤光膜全部设计在阵列基板侧,这样不仅可以避免对组制程中由于对组精度的误差,或者曲面显示技术中由于面板弯曲造成的平移带来的露光;更重要的是节省一道材料及制程,缩短生产时间(tact time),降低了产品成本。
与此同时,为了解决改善COA型阵列基板的地形平坦性,同时减少气泡(Bubble),现有技术还会在COA型阵列基板的色阻层上覆盖一层有机平坦层,然后再在所述有机平坦层上形成包括主隔垫物、辅助副隔垫物、及黑色矩阵的BPS层,同时为了能够形成主隔垫物、辅助副隔垫物、及黑色矩阵之间的断差且保证主隔垫物和辅助隔垫物的高度,BPS层的厚度通常较厚,在具有有机平坦层的情况下其形成黑色矩阵后,容易造成黑色矩阵凸出像素区过多,在各个子像素之间形成壁垒,阻碍液晶的流动,引起显示不良。
