Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides an array substrate and a method for manufacturing the same, and a display apparatus. The array substrate comprises a base, a layer structure provided on the base, and an alignment layer provided above the layer structure, wherein, the layer structure is provided with a recessed part, and distances from at least two positions of the alignment layer surrounding the recessed part to the base are different from each other.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An array substrate, comprising a base, a layer structure provided on the base, and an alignment layer provided above the layer structure, wherein, the layer structure is provided with a recessed part, and distances from at least two positions of a top surface of the alignment layer surrounding the recessed part to the base are different from each other, wherein the layer structure comprises a layer where a common electrode line is located, a gate insulating layer, a planarization layer and a layer where a common electrode is located, which are provided successively above the base, the recessed part is formed by a hole penetrating through the gate insulating layer and the planarization layer, a portion of the common electrode line and a portion of the base are exposed via the hole so that the common electrode is connected to the common electrode line through the hole. 2. The array substrate of claim 1 , wherein, distances from two positions of the alignment layer surrounding the recessed part to the base are different from each other, and the two positions are approximately symmetrical with respect to the recessed part. 3. The array substrate of claim 1 , wherein, the common electrode line is provided below a portion of the gate insulating layer surrounding the hole. 4. The array substrate of claim 1 , wherein, only the portion of the common electrode line is exposed via the hole. 5. A method for manufacturing an array substrate, the method comprises steps of: forming a layer structure on a base, and forming a recessed part in the layer structure; forming an alignment layer above the layer structure, wherein distances from at least two positions of a top surface of the alignment layer surrounding the recessed part to the base are different from each other, wherein the layer structure comprises a layer where a common electrode line is located, a gate insulating layer, a planarization layer and a layer where a common electrode is located, which are provided successively above the base, the recessed part is formed by a hole penetrating through the gate insulating layer and the planarization layer, a portion of the common electrode line and a portion of the base are exposed via the hole so that the common electrode is connected to the common electrode line through the hole. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein, the common electrode line is provided below a portion of the gate insulating layer surrounding the hole. 7. The method of claim 5 , wherein, only the portion of the common electrode line is exposed via the hole. 8. A display apparatus, comprising an array substrate of claim 1 .
