Abstract

An array substrate for a display device includes an insulating substrate, a buffer layer which is disposed on the insulating substrate and is formed of silicon oxide with a refractive index equal to a refractive index of the insulating substrate, a first insulation layer which is disposed on the buffer layer and formed of silicon nitride, a second insulation layer which is disposed on the first insulation layer and formed of silicon oxide, a switching element including a semiconductor layer disposed on the second insulation layer, and a pixel electrode connected to the switching element.

Claims (10)

1. An array substrate for a display device, comprising:

an insulating substrate;

a buffer layer which is disposed on the insulating substrate and is formed of silicon oxide with a refractive index equal to a refractive index of the insulating substrate;

a first insulation layer which is disposed on the buffer layer and formed of silicon nitride;

a second insulation layer which is disposed on the first insulation layer and formed of silicon oxide;

a switching element including a semiconductor layer disposed on the second insulation layer; and

a pixel electrode connected to the switching element.

2. The array substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the refractive index of the silicon oxide, of which the buffer layer is formed, is in a range of 1.45 to 1.59.

3. The array substrate according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the buffer layer is in a range of 100 nm to 500 nm.

4. The array substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the switching element is a thin-film transistor including a semiconductor layer which is formed of polysilicon.
