  • Patent number: 9678263
    Abstract: The embodiments of the invention disclose a scanning type backlight module and a display device. Since a laser light source with good collimation is applied, during a display time of a frame, with the modulation of the optical path regulator, the laser emitted from the laser light source performs a progressive scanning for a region corresponding to at least one row of pixel units in a light guide plate or a display panel. Therefore, the problem of dynamic picture ghosting can be solved effectively; moreover, since the progressive scanning for the entire light guide plate can be realized by changing the light propagation path of the laser emitted from the laser light source with the optical path regulator, the number of the laser light sources can be reduced and the production cost can be decreased.

  • Patent number: 9515028
    Abstract: An array substrate and manufacturing method thereof, and a display device are provided. The array substrate comprises a TFT, an isolating layer (M), a pixel electrode (12) and a via (Q) formed through the isolating layer (14). A drain (6) of the TFT is electrically connected with the pixel electrode (12) through the via (Q). A first light blocking layer (14a) is formed on the pixel electrode (12) inside the via (Q). In the array substrate of the present invention, display effect deterioration due to the light reflection on pixel electrode inside the via is avoided by forming the light blocking layer on the pixel electrode inside the via. At the same time, prior to manufacturing the light blocking layer, a barrier layer is formed first to guarantee no residual of light blocking layer will be left on the substrate, thereby improving display performance of the display device.

In the thin film transistor manufacturing process, the base substrate is annealed after the formation of the patterns of the active layer, the source and the drain in the thin film transistor, so as to thermally diffuse ions of the source and the drain at an ohmic contact between the active layer and the source, as well as the drain, to the active layer, and further to provide the active layer with ions of the source and the drain for changing the components of the active layer, which reduces the resistance at the ohmic contact between the active layer and the source, as well as the drain, and guarantees the uniformity and reliability of the thin film transistor.
