[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] The embodiments of the present application provide an array substrate and a display panel to reduce the depth of the vias in the array substrate, thereby solving the problem of uneven diffusion of the alignment liquid and improving the display quality. The following are detailed descriptions. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments does not limit the preferred order of the embodiments. In addition, in the description of the present application, the term "including" means "including but not limited to". The terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are used only as labels to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order.

[0029] See also Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 is a schematic top view of an array substrate provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of the middle array substrate along the AA' direction; Figure 3 1 is a first top view schematic diagram of the array substrate frame glue area SA provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides an array substrate 100, including: a base substrate 10, an intermediate layer M, a first conductive layer 20, and an electrostatic resistance barrier layer 30, wherein the base substrate 10 has a display area AA and a sealant area SA arranged around the display area AA; the intermediate layer M is arranged on the base substrate 10 and located in the sealant area SA; the first conductive layer 20 is arranged on the intermediate layer M and located in the sealant area SA; the electrostatic resistance barrier layer 30 is arranged on a side of the first conductive layer 20 away from the base substrate 10 and located in the sealant area SA. The intermediate layer M includes a second conductive layer 40, an insulating layer 50, a third conductive layer 60, a planar layer 70, and a via 80.

[0030] The array substrate 100 provided in the present application is provided with an electrostatic resistance barrier layer 30 to prevent the first conductive layer 20, that is, the GOA signal line, from being broken down by static electricity and causing a short circuit, thereby improving the yield rate of the product.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, the base substrate 10 can be a glass substrate, wherein the glass substrate is made of uniform material, has high transparency and low reflectivity, and has good thermal stability, so that the properties can remain stable after multiple high-temperature processes. Since a lot of chemicals are used in the semiconductor device manufacturing process, the glass substrate needs to have good chemical resistance. The glass substrate also needs to have sufficient mechanical strength, good precision machining properties, and excellent electrical insulation properties.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, the second conductive layer 40 is provided on the base substrate 10, and the second conductive layer 40 may be a metal compound conductive layer formed by multiple layers of metal. The third metal layer is usually made of materials such as aluminum and aluminum alloy, or a metal compound conductive layer formed by stacking an aluminum layer, a tungsten layer, and a chromium layer. It is usually formed by physical vapor deposition technology.

[0033] The insulating layer 50 covers the second conductive layer 40. The insulating layer 50 can be a single layer, which is formed of silicon oxide, silicon nitride or aluminum oxide, and has a thickness of about 150-250nm. Of course, the insulating layer 50 can also be two layers, the first layer is a silicon dioxide film, and in order to improve the quality of the film, a second layer of silicon nitride film is added on the silicon dioxide film.

[0034] The third conductive layer 60 is disposed on the side of the insulating layer 50 away from the base substrate 10. The third conductive layer 60 can be a single metal layer or a multi-layer metal layer. The design of a single metal layer is simple and easy to operate, which is conducive to reducing the thickness of the array substrate; the design of a multi-layer metal layer is conducive to reducing the impedance of the signal line and improving the performance of the array substrate. The material of the third conductive layer 60 can include any metal such as aluminum, copper, silver, gold, molybdenum, indium, tin, or an alloy or compound thereof.

[0035] It should be noted that the frame glue area SA in the present application corresponds to the bus position of GOA, wherein the third conductive layer 60 is provided with a clock signal line, the second conductive layer 40 is provided with a scan line and extends to the display area AA, and the first conductive layer 20 is provided with a clock signal connection line, and the clock signal line and the clock signal connection line are nearly vertically arranged, which are used to connect the clock signal line with the scan line, and multiple clock signal lines and multiple clock signal connection lines transmit the clock signal to the GOA unit (not shown in the figure) located between the frame glue area SA and the display area AA, and multiple GOA units are used to generate corresponding gate drive signals to realize precise control of each scan line of the array substrate. Specifically, the number of clock signals can be adjusted according to the needs of the array substrate, that is, the number of clock signal lines can be adjusted.

[0036] The planar layer 70 covers the third conductive layer 60 and the insulating layer 50. The planar layer 70 mainly plays the role of insulation and planarization. Here, the planar layer 70 can also be set as a passivation layer and an interlayer dielectric layer. However, since the planar layer 70, the passivation layer, and the interlayer dielectric layer all contain impurities, the insulation effect is poor, the high-voltage resistance is weak, and it is easy to conduct electricity under high voltage.

[0037] The via 80 includes a first via 81 and a second via 82. The first via 81 penetrates the planar layer 70 and is arranged corresponding to the third conductive layer 60. The first conductive layer 20 is connected to the second conductive layer 40 through the first via 81. The second via 82 is arranged on the side of the first via 81 close to the display area AA. The second via 82 penetrates the planar layer 70 and the insulating layer 50 and is arranged corresponding to the second conductive layer 40. The first conductive layer 20 is connected to the third conductive layer 60 through the second via 82. The second conductive layer 40 and the third conductive layer 60 are connected to each other through the first conductive layer 20.

[0038] The first conductive layer 20 is disposed on a side of the flat layer 70 away from the base substrate 10, and the first conductive layer 20 includes a conductive portion 21, and the conductive portion 21 is disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the via hole 80. Specifically, the conductive portion 21 may be in a block shape, and each conductive portion 21 is a clock signal connection line, and the clock signal is transmitted through the first via hole 81 and the second via hole 82. The material of the first conductive layer 20 may be indium tin oxide.

[0039] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the static resistance barrier layer 30 includes static resistance barrier strips 31, and the static resistance barrier strips 31 at least partially cover the conductive portion 21. The cross-sectional width of the static resistance barrier strips 31 is greater than the cross-sectional width of the conductive portion 21, and the cross-sectional length of the static resistance barrier strips 31 is less than the cross-sectional length of the conductive portion 21. Figure 1 As shown, the cross-sectional width refers to the length extending along the length direction X of the array substrate, and the cross-sectional length refers to the length extending along the width direction Y of the array substrate. Specifically, the first conductive layer 20 may be provided with a plurality of conductive portions 21 arranged at intervals. Figure 3 exemplarily shows a conductive portion 21 covered with two static resistance isolating bars 31 , wherein the number of static resistance isolating bars 31 can be adjusted as needed, and the present application does not make any specific limitation thereto.

[0040] The strip design of the static resistance isolating strip 31 in the present application is conducive to controlling the thickness of the static resistance isolating layer 30. The static resistance isolating layer 30 includes a plurality of static resistance isolating strips 31 arranged at intervals. Compared with the whole layer arrangement, the strip arrangement is more conducive to controlling the thickness of the static resistance isolating layer 30 while ensuring the influence of static electricity on the conductive part 21 is blocked. In addition, the height of the frame glue area SA is controlled to avoid the frame glue area SA being too bright due to the height of the frame glue area SA being too high while the height of the display area AA is too low, thereby affecting the display quality.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the material of the static resistance barrier layer 30 includes polystyrene, especially polystyrene plastic, which has good insulation, high mechanical strength, good thermal stability, good solvent resistance, and scratch resistance.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the display area AA is provided with a thin film transistor array, and the thin film transistor array is electrically connected to the third conductive layer 60. The display area AA is also provided with a pixel electrode and a common electrode, and the thin film transistor is used to control whether the pixel electrode in the corresponding sub-pixel is passed through a current, and after the current is passed through, a potential difference is formed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode, thereby controlling the liquid crystal deflection of the corresponding sub-pixel area, and further realizing the grayscale control of the corresponding sub-pixel.

[0043] By providing the static isolation bar 31 , the conductive part 21 is prevented from being broken down by static electricity and causing a short circuit, thereby improving the product yield.

[0044] As a specific implementation of this application, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 2 , Figure 4 1 is a second top view schematic diagram of the array substrate frame glue area SA provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the present application provides an array substrate 200 , which differs from the array substrate 100 in that the first conductive layer 20 includes a plurality of conductive portions 21 arranged at intervals, and at least some of the conductive portions 21 are provided with static resistance isolation strips 31 .

[0045] The first conductive layer 20 in the array substrate 200 is arranged on the side of the flat layer 70 away from the base substrate 10; the via 80 includes a first via 81 and a second via 82. The conductive portion 21 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the via 80. Specifically, the conductive portion 21 may be in a block shape, and each conductive portion 21 is a clock signal connection line, through which the clock signal is transmitted. The material of the first conductive layer 20 may be indium tin oxide.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the static resistance barrier layer 30 includes a plurality of static resistance barrier strips 31, and the static resistance barrier strips 31 cover the conductive portion 21. The cross-sectional width of the static resistance barrier strips 31 is greater than the cross-sectional width of the conductive portion 21, and the cross-sectional length of the static resistance barrier strips 31 is less than the cross-sectional length of the conductive portion 21. The static resistance barrier strips 31 are only provided on part of the conductive portion 21, and the proportion of the conductive portion 21 not provided with the static resistance barrier strips 31 to the total number of the conductive portions 21 does not exceed 10%.

[0047] The strip design of the static resistance isolating strip 31 in the present application is conducive to controlling the thickness of the static resistance isolating layer 30. The static resistance isolating layer 30 includes a plurality of static resistance isolating strips 31 arranged at intervals. Compared with the whole layer arrangement, the strip arrangement ensures that the influence of static electricity on the conductive part 21 is blocked, and it is more conducive to controlling the thickness of the static resistance isolating layer 30, thereby controlling the height of the frame glue area SA, and avoiding the frame glue area SA being too bright due to the height of the frame glue area SA being too high while the height of the display area AA is too low, and the height difference causes the frame glue area SA to be too bright, affecting the display quality. At the same time, the number of conductive parts 21 not covered with static resistance isolating strips 31 is controlled to be less than 10% of the total number of conductive parts 21, which is conducive to ensuring the anti-static effect of the array substrate.

[0048] As a specific implementation of this application, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 2 , Figure 5 FIG. 3 is a third top view schematic diagram of the array substrate frame glue area SA provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the present application provides an array substrate 300 , and the difference between the array substrate 300 and the array substrate 100 is that the static resistance isolation bars 31 and the conductive parts 21 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0049] The first conductive layer 20 in the array substrate 300 is arranged on the side of the flat layer 70 away from the base substrate 10; the via 80 includes a first via 81 and a second via 82. The first conductive layer 20 includes a plurality of conductive portions 21 arranged at intervals, and the conductive portions 21 are arranged one-to-one with the vias 80. Specifically, the conductive portion 21 may be in a block shape, and each conductive portion 21 is a clock signal connection line, and the clock signal is transmitted through the first via 81 and the second via 82. The material of the first conductive layer 20 may be indium tin oxide.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the static resistance barrier layer 30 includes a plurality of static resistance barrier strips 31, and the static resistance barrier strips 31 cover the conductive portion 21, wherein the cross-sectional width of the static resistance barrier strips 31 is greater than the cross-sectional width of the conductive portion 21, and the cross-sectional length of the static resistance barrier strips 31 is greater than the cross-sectional length of the conductive portion 21. Furthermore, the static resistance barrier strips 31 are arranged one-to-one with the conductive portion 21.

[0051] The strip design of the static resistance isolating strip 31 in the present application is conducive to controlling the thickness of the static resistance isolating layer 30. The static resistance isolating layer 30 includes a plurality of static resistance isolating strips 31 arranged at intervals. Compared with the whole layer arrangement, the strip arrangement ensures that the influence of static electricity on the conductive part 21 is blocked, and at the same time, it is more conducive to controlling the thickness of the static resistance isolating layer 30, thereby controlling the height of the frame glue area SA, and avoiding the frame glue area SA being too bright due to the height of the frame glue area SA being too high and the height of the display area AA being too low, thereby affecting the display quality. By arranging the static resistance isolating strip 31 to correspond to the conductive part 21 one by one and the cross-sectional area of ​​the static resistance isolating strip 31 being larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the conductive part 21, the risk of the conductive part 21 being short-circuited by static electricity is greatly reduced, thereby improving the product yield.

[0052] As a specific implementation of this application, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 2 , Figure 6 FIG. 4 is a fourth top view schematic diagram of the array substrate frame glue area SA provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, the present application provides an array substrate 400, the difference between the array substrate 400 and the array substrate 100 is that the cross-sectional width of the static resistance spacer 31 is equal to the cross-sectional width of the conductive portion 21, and / or the cross-sectional length of the static resistance spacer 31 is equal to the cross-sectional length of the conductive portion 21.

[0053] The first conductive layer 20 in the array substrate 400 is arranged on the side of the flat layer 70 away from the base substrate 10; the via 80 includes a first via 81 and a second via 82. The first conductive layer 20 includes a plurality of conductive portions 21 arranged at intervals, and the conductive portions 21 are arranged one-to-one with the vias 80. Specifically, the conductive portion 21 may be in a block shape, and each conductive portion 21 is a clock signal connection line, and the clock signal is transmitted through the first via 81 and the second via 82. The material of the first conductive layer 20 may be indium tin oxide.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the static resistance barrier layer 30 includes a plurality of static resistance barrier strips 31, and the static resistance barrier strips 31 cover the conductive portion 21, wherein the cross-sectional width of the static resistance barrier strips 31 is equal to the cross-sectional width of the conductive portion 21, and the cross-sectional length of the static resistance barrier strips 31 is equal to the cross-sectional length of the conductive portion 21. Furthermore, the static resistance barrier strips 31 are arranged one-to-one with the conductive portion 21.

[0055] It should be noted that Figure 6It is only schematically shown that the cross-sectional width of the static resistance barrier strip 31 is equal to the cross-sectional width of the conductive part 21, and the cross-sectional length of the static resistance barrier strip 31 is equal to the cross-sectional length of the conductive part 21. Specifically, the cross-sectional width of the static resistance barrier strip 31 may be equal to the cross-sectional width of the conductive part 21, and the cross-sectional length of the static resistance barrier strip 31 may be unequal to the cross-sectional length of the conductive part 21, or the cross-sectional width of the static resistance barrier strip 31 may be unequal to the cross-sectional width of the conductive part 21, and the cross-sectional length of the static resistance barrier strip 31 may be equal to the cross-sectional length of the conductive part 21. Specifically, it can be adjusted according to actual needs, and this application does not make specific limitations here.

[0056] The strip design of the static resistance isolating strip 31 in the present application is conducive to controlling the thickness of the static resistance isolating layer 30. The static resistance isolating layer 30 includes a plurality of static resistance isolating strips 31 arranged at intervals. Compared with the whole layer arrangement, the strip arrangement ensures that the influence of static electricity on the conductive part 21 is blocked, and at the same time, it is more conducive to controlling the thickness of the static resistance isolating layer 30, thereby controlling the height of the frame glue area SA, and avoiding the frame glue area SA being too bright due to the height of the frame glue area SA being too high while the height of the display area AA is too low, and the height difference affects the display quality. By setting the static resistance isolating strip 31 to correspond to the conductive part 21 one by one and the cross-sectional area of ​​the static resistance isolating strip 31 is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the conductive part 21, the risk of the conductive part 21 being short-circuited by static electricity is greatly reduced, thereby improving the product yield.

[0057] As a specific implementation of this application, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 2 , Figure 7 This is a fifth schematic top view of the array substrate sealant area SA provided in the embodiment of the present application; Figure 8 6 is a schematic top view of the array substrate sealant area SA provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 , Figure 7 As shown, the present application provides an array substrate 500 . The difference between the array substrate 500 and the array substrate 100 is that the static resistance isolation strips 31 cover the multiple conductive parts 21 .

[0058] The first conductive layer 20 in the array substrate 500 is arranged on the side of the flat layer 70 away from the base substrate 10; the via 80 includes a first via 81 and a second via 82. The first conductive layer 20 includes a plurality of conductive portions 21 arranged at intervals, and the conductive portions 21 are arranged one-to-one with the vias 80. Specifically, the conductive portion 21 may be in a block shape, and each conductive portion 21 is a clock signal connection line, and the clock signal is transmitted through the first via 81 and the second via 82. The material of the first conductive layer 20 may be indium tin oxide.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, the static resistance insulation layer 30 includes a plurality of static resistance insulation strips 31, which cover the conductive portion 21, wherein the cross-sectional width of the static resistance insulation strips 31 is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional width of the conductive portion 21, and the cross-sectional length of the static resistance insulation strips 31 is greater than the cross-sectional length of the conductive portion 21, so that the static resistance insulation strips 31 can cover a plurality of conductive portions 21.

[0061] It should be noted that the figure only schematically shows the vias arranged at intervals along the width direction of the array substrate. In the actual production process, based on the number of clock signal lines set in the third conductive layer and the connection positions with the scanning lines in the second conductive layer, the arrangement of the vias is not necessarily regular. The present application does not limit the specific arrangement of the multiple vias. It is only necessary to set multiple electrostatic isolation strips on the multiple conductive parts corresponding to the multiple vias to avoid the conductive parts from being broken down by static electricity, thereby improving the product yield.

[0062] The strip design of the static resistance isolating strip 31 in the present application is conducive to controlling the thickness of the static resistance isolating layer 30. The static resistance isolating layer 30 includes a plurality of static resistance isolating strips 31 arranged at intervals. Compared with the whole layer arrangement, the strip arrangement is more conducive to controlling the thickness of the static resistance isolating layer 30 while ensuring the blocking of the influence of static electricity on the conductive part 21, thereby controlling the height of the frame glue area SA, and avoiding the frame glue area SA being too bright due to the height difference of the display area AA being too high, thereby affecting the display quality. By setting static resistance isolating strips 31 and each static resistance isolating strip 31 covering a plurality of conductive parts 21, the risk of the conductive part 21 being short-circuited by static electricity is reduced, while the difficulty of process operation is reduced, the production efficiency of the product is improved, and the product yield is improved.
