Abstract
The present invention provides a display panel. The display panel includes a substrate, a thin-film transistor layer, and at least one first annular retaining wall. The first annular retaining wall prevents an oxide semiconductor layer from intrusion of water, oxygen, etc. by configuring the first annular retaining wall to surround the oxide semiconductor layer of a second thin-film transistor, thereby protecting excellent electrical characteristics of devices while significantly enhancing reliability of thin-film transistors.
Claims7
A display panel, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a thin-film transistor layer disposed on the substrate and comprising a first thin-film transistor and a second thin-film transistor, wherein the first thin-film transistor comprises a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon semiconductor layer, and the second thin-film transistor comprises an oxide semiconductor layer;
- at least one first annular retaining wall surrounding the oxide semiconductor layer;
- a first insulating layer disposed on the substrate, wherein the oxide semiconductor layer and the first annular retaining wall are disposed in a same layer on the first insulating layer, and a material of the oxide semiconductor layer and a material of the first annular retaining wall are same;
- a buffer layer disposed on the substrate, wherein the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon semiconductor layer is disposed on the buffer layer;
- at least one second annular retaining wall surrounding the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon semiconductor layer;
- a gate insulating layer disposed on the buffer layer and covering the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon semiconductor layer and the second annular retaining wall;
- and
- a first gate layer disposed on the gate insulating layer and covered by the first insulating layer;
- wherein the first insulating layer is disposed between the first gate layer and the oxide semiconductor layer.
