Abstract

The present disclosure relates to array substrate, preparation method thereof and display panel. An array substrate comprises: a first thin film transistor and a second thin film transistor over a substrate; wherein the first thin film transistor comprises a first portion of a first insulating layer, the first insulating layer comprises a first recess corresponding to the second thin film transistor, and the second thin film transistor is located in the first recess; and wherein a thickness of a second portion of the first insulating layer, which is below the bottom of the first recess, is smaller than that of the first portion of the first insulating layer.

Claims (34)

1. An array substrate comprising:

a first thin film transistor and a second thin film transistor over a substrate;

wherein the first thin film transistor comprises a first portion of a first insulating layer, the first insulating layer comprises a first recess corresponding to the second thin film transistor, and the second thin film transistor is located in the first recess;

wherein a thickness of a second portion of the first insulating layer, which is below a bottom of the first recess, is smaller than that of the first portion of the first insulating layer; and

wherein the first thin film transistor and the second thin film transistor are respectively a polysilicon thin film transistor and an oxide thin film transistor.

2. The array substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the first insulating layer has a thickness of 0 μm.

3. The array substrate of claim 1 , further comprising:

a buffer layer disposed between a surface of the substrate and the first thin film transistor;

wherein the buffer layer comprises a second recess corresponding to the second thin film transistor, and the first recess and the second recess are stacked; and

wherein, a thickness of a portion of the buffer layer, which is below a bottom of the second recess, is smaller than that of a portion of the buffer layer which is below the first thin film transistor.

4. The array substrate of claim 1 ,

wherein the first thin film transistor is a top gate type thin film transistor, and the first thin film transistor comprises at least one of a first gate insulating layer or a first interlayer insulating layer; and

wherein the first insulating layer comprises the first gate insulating layer and/or the first interlayer insulating layer.

5. The array substrate of claim 4 , wherein

the first thin film transistor further comprises a first source electrode and a first drain electrode;

the second thin film transistor comprises a second gate electrode, a second source electrode, and a second drain electrode;

one of the following is disposed in a same layer as the first source electrode and the first drain electrode are disposed:

the second gate electrode, or

the second source electrode and the second drain electrode.

6. The array substrate of claim 1 , further comprising:

a lead region, the lead region having a through-hole which comprises a first sub-through-hole and a second sub-through-hole which are stacked, the second sub-through-hole being disposed adjacent to the substrate, and an aperture of the second sub-through-hole being smaller than an aperture of the first sub-through-hole; and

a conductive layer disposed at the second sub-through-hole.

7. The array substrate according to claim 6 , wherein

the first recess penetrates through same layer or layers as the first sub-through-hole penetrates through; and

the second recess penetrates through same layer or layers as the second sub-through-hole penetrates through.

8. The array substrate of claim 6 , wherein the substrate is a flexible substrate;

the array substrate further comprising a first organic layer disposed at the through-hole,

wherein the first organic layer is located on a side of the conductive layer, which is adjacent to the substrate, and the first organic layer covers a bottom surface and a side surface of the through-hole.

9. The array substrate according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a second organic layer,

wherein the second thin film transistor is disposed over the second organic layer; and

wherein the second organic layer is disposed in a same layer as the first organic layer is disposed.

10. The array substrate of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the second thin film transistor is disposed directly on the substrate.

11. A display panel comprising the array substrate of claim 1 .
