## Background
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 200810111874.9, filed on May 16, 2008, entitled “An Array Substrate of TFT-LCD and a Method for Manufacturing the same”, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
FIELD OF THE TECHNOLOGY
The present invention relates to a thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) and a method for manufacturing the same, and particularly to an array substrate of TFT-LCD and a method for manufacturing the same.
BACKGROUND
Along with the rapid development of flat-panel display technologies, the flat-panel display apparatus has gradually replaced the conventional cathode ray tube (CRT) display and fleetly entered people's life due to its advantages, such as low power consumption and light-thin. TFT-LCD has been accepted by most customers due to its performances, such as long life, low power consumption and nonradiation, and applied into people's life and production widely. However, LCD with lower production cost and lower power consumption, and being lighter and thinner is always a purpose sought by people.
The main structure of TFT-LCD includes an array substrate and a color filter substrate disposed together and face to face as a cell. There are pieces of polarizers attached to the outer surfaces of the array substrate and the color filter substrate. In practical implementation, it is indicated that the TFT-LCD in the prior art has the following technical disadvantages:
(1) Since all of the polarizers applied in the prior art change natural lights into linear polarized lights by absorbing unwanted light, more than 50% lights are wasted during being polarized, which makes the power utilization efficiency is less than 50%. This disadvantage influences the development of a powerfrugal TFT-LCD to some extent.
(2) The polarizers account for a large proportion in the production cost of TFT-LCD. On one hand, the cost is material cost and manufacturing cost. On the other hand, the cost is caused by high technical requirement. This disadvantage greatly restricts further reduction in the production cost of TFT-LCD.
(3) The pieces of polarizers in the prior art are attached to the surfaces of the array substrate and the color filter substrate, which also influences lighting and thinning of TFT-LCD to some extent.

A width of each of the stripe grids is 20 nm-80 nm and a distance between centerlines of the adjacent stripe grids is 40 nm-160 nm. Preferably, the width of each of the stripe grids is 50 nm and the distance between the centerlines of the adjacent stripe grids is 100 nm.
In order to accomplish the above subject, the present application also provides a method for manufacturing an array substrate of TFT-LCD. The method includes the following steps:
step 1, depositing a layer of gate metal film on a substrate, and etching the gate metal film by using a mask process to form a graph comprising gate electrodes and gate lines on the substrate;
step 2, depositing a gate insulating layer, a semiconductor layer and a doped semiconductor layer continuously on the substrate having the graph comprising the gate electrodes and the gate lines, and etching the semiconductor layer and the doped semiconductor layer by using the mask process to form graphs of semiconductor layers and doped semiconductor layers above the gate electrodes; and
step 3, forming graphs of source electrodes, drain electrodes, data lines and pixel electrodes on the substrate having the graphs of semiconductor layers and the doped semiconductor layers, wherein a grid graph is formed on each of the pixel electrodes to make each of the pixel electrodes be simultaneously a built-in polarizer and change natural lights into linear polarized lights.
The step 3 may be include the following steps:
depositing a layer of source-drain metal film on the substrate having the graphs of the semiconductor layers and the doped semiconductor layers, etching the source-drain metal film by using the mask process to form graphs of the source electrodes, the drain electrodes and the data lines, and etching and totally removing the doped semiconductor layers between each of the source electrodes and each of the drain electrodes to form each of graphs of TFT channels between each of the source electrodes and each of the drain electrodes;

Since the pixel electrodes in the present invention are taken as the built-in polarizer, there is no need to attach a polarizer of absorption type to the array substrate after being disposed with the color filter substrate as a cell, thereby reducing the production cost of the TFT-LCD and facilitating reduction of the thickness of the TFT-LCD. The prior art applying the polarizer of absorption type has a light consumption of more than 50% during polarizing. Compared with the prior art, the built-in polarizer in the present invention is a polarizer of reflection type, which accomplishes polarizing by reflecting and removing the unwanted lights during implementation. Although the lights reflected and removed by the polarizer are linear polarized lights too, a depolarization can be accomplished on the linear polarized lights after being dispersed and other processed, and the lights can be reused. Therefore, the present invention effectively solves the problem of lights consumption in the prior art thereby increasing the power utilization efficiency greatly. In addition, the present invention applies the pixel electrodes of metal material instead of indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent electrodes in the conventional LCD, which omits the conventional sputtering process of ITO, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of elements. At the same time, the integrated structure of the polarizer and the pixel electrodes can omit the conventional producing process of the via hole, thereby simplifying the array structure and the producing process, which accomplishes integration of the polarizer and the array structure and further reduces the production cost of TFT-LCD.
The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings and embodiments.
