## Background
TECHNICAL FIELD
Embodiments of the present invention relate to an array substrate and a repairing method thereof and a display device.
BACKGROUND
Thin film transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs) have the characteristics of small volume, low power consumption, non-radiation and the like, and have occupied a predominant position in the current flat-plate display market. A TFT-LCD mainly includes a liquid crystal display panel, a timing controller, a driver integrated circuit (IC), and so on. The liquid crystal display panel of a TFT-LCD can include an array substrate and a color filter substrate that are disposed oppositely, as well as liquid crystal molecules that are disposed between the array substrate and the color filter substrate. In the display region of the array substrate, a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines that are crisscrossed with each other, and a plurality of display units are formed; each display unit may include a TFT, through which the rotation of the liquid crystal molecules in the corresponding display unit can be controlled to achieve the display of images; and the driver IC of the TFT-LCD includes a data driver IC and a gate driver IC.
The gate driver IC transmits driving signals to the gate electrode of the TFT of each display unit through a gate line, so that each row of TFTs are controlled to be turned on and off; when the TFTs are turned on, the data driver IC transmits driving signals to the source electrodes of each column of TFTs through a data line to control the input voltage of the source electrode of the TFT of each display unit, to complete charging pixels, and then to realize display. The driving signals of the gate driver IC are transmitted to the gate lines in the display region through gate lead lines in the non-display region of the array substrate, and the driving signals of the data driver IC are transmitted to the data lines in the display region through the data lead lines in the non-display region of the array substrate. The gate lead lines and the data lead lines are collectively called as the display-region fan-out lines.
In the practical manufacturing process, the array substrate is usually prepared with a plurality of patterning processes, and each patterning process usually includes masking, exposing, developing, etching and stripping processes and so on, and is prone to damage the gate lead lines and the data lead lines that have been already prepared on the array substrate to produce a short circuit. Besides, the data lead lines of the array substrate are not protected by the color filter layer provided thereon but covered by a very thin insulating-protection layer (or passivation layer) and part of a UV sealant (a kind of sealant used for sealing an IC, which can be cured through ultraviolet (UV) light mainly), so the data lead lines are prone to suffer from scratches and corrosion to produce a disconnection. The gate lead lines and the data lead lines usually adopt single-layer metal wires, which cannot be repaired if damaged, so in this case, only the product obsolescence method can be adopted, which causes a larger waste and increases manufacturing costs.

An embodiment of the present invention provides an array substrate, and the array substrate comprises: a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines disposed in a display region, gate lead lines disposed in a non-display region and connected to the gate lines and a gate driver IC respectively, and data lead lines disposed in the non-display region and connected to the data lines and a data driver IC respectively. The gate lead lines and the data lead line are collectively called as the display-region fan-out lines. The non-display region is disposed at the periphery of the display region.
The array substrate further comprises: at least one first repairing line disposed in a same layer as the gate lead lines and at a position corresponding to a data lead line; and/or, at least one second repairing line disposed in a same layer as the data lead lines, and at a position corresponding to a gate lead line.
Because a gate insulating layer is further disposed between the structural layer in which gate electrodes, the gate lines, the gate lead lines and the first repairing line are located, and the structural layer in which source electrodes, the data lines, the data lead lines and the second repairing line are located, no interference is produced between the above-mentioned metal wiring of the two structural layers. The above-mentioned metal wirings of the above-mentioned structural layers can be prepared with a same or different metallic material(s).
In the embodiment of the present invention, a first repairing line is further disposed in the structural layer where the gate lead lines are located and at a position corresponding to a data lead line, so when the data lead line suffers from a disconnection, repair for the data lead line can be performed with the first repairing line corresponding to the position of the data lead line where the disconnection occurs, so that driving signals of a data driver IC can be transmitted to the corresponding data line through the data lead line that suffers from the disconnection and its corresponding first repairing line.
Or, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second repairing line is further disposed in the structural layer where the data lead lines are located and at a position corresponding to a gate lead line, so when the gate lead line suffers from a disconnection, repair for the gate lead line can be performed with the second repairing line corresponding to the position of the gate lead line where the disconnection occurs, so that driving signals of a gate driver IC can be transmitted to the corresponding gate lines through the gate lead line that suffers from the disconnection and its corresponding the second repairing line.
For example, each first repairing line corresponds to a respective data lead line, namely, the number of the first repairing lines is equal to the number of the data lead lines, and the first repairing lines and the data lead lines correspond to each other in a one-to-one manner.
In order to not change the current structure of the data driver IC, for example, the two ends of each first repairing line are provided as dangling states, namely, the two ends of each first repairing line are not connected to any structure; and in a dangling state, the first repairing line that is not used does not affect the rest structures.
It is to be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is not limit regarding the width of the first repairing line; the width of the first repairing line can be the same as that of the data lead line, greater than that of the data lead line, and further smaller than that of the data lead line. In an example, the width of the first repairing line is not greater than that of the data lead line.
For example, each second repairing line corresponds to a respective gate lead line; namely, the number of the second repairing lines is the same as that of the gate lead lines, and the second repairing lines correspond to the gate lead lines in a one-to-one manner.
In order not to change the current structure of the gate driver IC, preferably, the two ends of each second repairing line are provided as dangling states, namely, the two ends of each second repairing line are not connected to any structure; and in a dangling state, the first repairing line that is not used does not affect the rest structures.
It is to be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is not limited regarding the width of the second repairing line; the width of the second repairing line can be the same as that of the gate lead line, greater than that of the gate lead line, and further smaller than that of the gate lead line. In an example, the width of the second repairing line is not greater than that of the gate lead line.
For example, the gate lead line and its corresponding first repairing line are overlapped with each other in the direction perpendicular to a base substrate; and the data lead line and its corresponding second repairing line are overlapped with each other in the direction perpendicular to the base substrate.
Further, if the gate driver IC is directly or indirectly disposed on the array substrate, the array substrate further comprises: at least one peripheral layout gate (PLG) that is connected to the gate driver IC and an external printed circuit board respectively; and at least one third repairing line disposed in a same layer as the data lead lines and at a position corresponding to the PLG Here the external PCB is mainly used to provide various control signals to the driver IC, for example, TTL (Transistor-to-Transistor Logic) signal, low voltage differential signal (LVDS), timing control signal, and so on.
In the embodiment of the present invention, a third repairing line is disposed in the structural layer where the data lead lines is located and at a position corresponding to a PLG, so when the PLG suffers from a disconnection, repair for the PLG can be performed with the third repairing line corresponding to the position of the PLG where the disconnection occurs, so that the driving signals of the external PLG can be transmitted to the corresponding gate driver IC through the PLG that suffers from the disconnection and its corresponding third repairing line.
For example, each third repairing line corresponds to a respective PLG, namely, the number of the third repairing lines is the same as that of the PLGs, and the third repairing lines correspond to the PLGs in a one-to-one manner.
In order not to change the current structures of the gate driver IC and the external PCB, for example, the two ends of each third repairing line are provided as dangling states, namely, the two ends of each second repairing line are not connected to any structure, so that the first repairing line that is not used does not affect the rest structures.
It is to be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is not limited regarding the width of the third repairing line; the width of the third repairing line can be the same as that of the PLG, greater than that of the PLG, and further smaller than that of the PLG In an example, the width of the third repairing line is not greater than that of the PLG.
For example, the PLG and its corresponding third repairing line are overlapped with each other in the direction perpendicular to the base substrate.
In the manufacturing process and in different display devices, the data driver IC and the gate driver IC may be different in packaging methods and positions. At present, two common packaging methods for a gate driver IC and a driver IC comprise COF (Chip On Film) method and COG (Chip On Glass) method. The COF method refers to the method of packaging a gate driver IC and a data driver IC on a corresponding flexible circuit board respectively, and the COG method refers to the method of packaging a gate driver IC and a data driver IC to the corresponding positions on an array substrate respectively.
The data driver IC is usually disposed along the X direction (namely, a direction parallel to the gate lines) of a display panel. Whether the data driver IC is packaged in the COF method or the COG method, it is only required to provide the data lead lines used for connecting the data lines; but the gate driver IC is usually disposed along the Y direction (namely, a direction parallel to the data lines) of the display panel. If the gate driver IC is packaged in the COF method, it is only required to provide the gate lead lines used for connecting the gate lines on the array substrate; and if the gate driver IC is packaged in the COG method, in addition to the gate lead lines disposed on the array substrate and used for connecting the gate lines, a PLG is required, and the external PCB is connected to the gate driver IC through the PLG.
