[0002] In related technologies, the aperture ratio of a liquid crystal display panel is usually affected by three aspects: first, the base of the black matrix layer under the pad (PS).

The black matrix layer needs to block the metal traces in the scanning line direction; third, the width of the black matrix layer in the data line direction. Generally speaking, the width of the black matrix layer in the data line direction is affected by factors such as the product charging rate and touch performance.

[0051] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings 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 making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application. In addition, it should be understood that the specific implementation methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application. In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "upper" and "lower", generally refer to the upper and lower parts of the device in actual use or working state, specifically the drawing direction in the accompanying drawings; while "inside" and "outside" refer to the outline of the device; the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are used only as labels and do not impose numerical requirements or establish an order.
[0052] The embodiments of the present application provide a liquid crystal display panel, which is described in detail below. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments does not limit the preferred order of the embodiments.
[0053] In the related art of liquid crystal panels, please refer to Figure 1 The area where a single row of scan lines scan, the thin film transistor mos connected thereto, and a common electrode line com are located is referred to as a row area, and the area where the pixel electrodes are located is referred to as a pixel area xs. In the extension direction of the data line data, a row area and a row of pixel electrodes are alternately arranged. The pad jg is correspondingly arranged in the row area, wherein the portion of the black matrix layer hs corresponding to the pad jg is the base fg, and the portion of the black matrix layer hs corresponding to the row area is the row shielding portion h1. Since the base fg needs to shield the pad jg, it requires a certain safety distance, so the width of the base fg is usually more than 20 microns, and the width of the row shielding portion h1 is less than 20 microns, which results in part of the base in each row area exceeding the row shielding portion, thereby causing waste of the opening.
[0054] In the liquid crystal display panel of the embodiment of the present application, in the orthographic projection pattern of the liquid crystal display panel, two rows of pixel electrodes are disposed between two adjacent row line groups, a spacer is stacked on the row line group, and the first shielding portion of the black matrix layer fully covers the row line group and the spacer. In the present application, the spacer, two scan lines, and thin-film transistors connected thereto are disposed in the region where the row line group is located, so that the first shielding portion simultaneously covers the spacer, the two scan lines, and the thin-film transistors connected thereto. Compared to a design with a single row of scan lines, this avoids the region where each row of spacers is located extending beyond the width of the region adjacent to the single row of scan lines, thereby avoiding additional waste of aperture ratio. Thus, the aperture ratio of the liquid crystal display panel can be increased without reducing the size of the scan lines and thin-film transistors, and thus without sacrificing product performance.
[0055] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 An embodiment of the present application provides a liquid crystal display panel 100, which includes an array substrate 10a, a spacer ps and a black matrix layer BM.
[0056] The black matrix layer BM is provided with a plurality of pixel openings b1 and a plurality of first blocking portions m1 arranged along a first direction x, wherein the first blocking portions m1 are located between two adjacent rows of the pixel openings b1.
[0057] The array substrate 10a includes a plurality of pixel electrodes p, a plurality of scan lines arranged along a first direction x, and a plurality of thin-film transistors. Pixel openings b1 are provided corresponding to the pixel electrodes p. In the orthographic projection pattern of the liquid crystal display panel 100, two adjacent scan lines are provided between two adjacent rows of pixel openings b1, and the first shielding portion m1 covers the scan lines and thin-film transistors. The scan lines are connected to the gates of the thin-film transistors.
[0058] The spacer ps is disposed on the array substrate 10 a . In the orthographic projection pattern of the liquid crystal display panel 100 , the first shielding portion m1 covers the spacer ps.
[0059] In the liquid crystal display panel 100 of the embodiment of the present application, in the orthographic projection pattern of the liquid crystal display panel 100, the first blocking portion m1 of the black matrix layer BM completely covers two adjacent scan lines, the thin film transistors connected thereto, and the spacer ps. In the present application, the spacer ps, the two scan lines, and the thin film transistors connected thereto are disposed in the area covered by the first blocking portion, so that the first blocking portion m1 simultaneously covers the spacer ps, the two scan lines, and the thin film transistors connected thereto. Compared to a design with a single row of scan lines, this avoids the area where the spacer ps is located in each row exceeding the width of the area adjacent to the single row of scan lines, thereby avoiding additional waste of aperture ratio. Thus, the aperture ratio of the liquid crystal display panel 100 can be improved without reducing the size of the scan lines and thin film transistors, and thus without sacrificing product performance.
[0060] Optionally, two adjacent scan lines and the thin film transistors connected thereto form a row line group z1. The scan lines include a first scan line 111 and a second scan line 112. The thin film transistors include a first thin film transistor t1 and a second thin film transistor t2. The gate of the first thin film transistor t1 is connected to the first scan line 111. The gate of the second thin film transistor t2 is connected to the second scan line 112.
[0061] The padding ps is stacked and arranged on the row line group z1.
[0062] In one embodiment, in the orthographic projection pattern of the liquid crystal display panel 100 , the first shielding portion m1 completely covers the row line group z1 and the spacer ps.
[0063] In one embodiment, the liquid crystal display panel 100 includes an opposing substrate 10b disposed opposite to the array substrate 10a, a black matrix layer BM integrated on the opposing substrate 10b or the array substrate 10a, and a spacer ps integrated on the opposing substrate 10b or the array substrate 10a.
[0064] For example, the black matrix layer BM is integrated on the opposite substrate 10 b , and the spacer ps is integrated on the array substrate 10 a , wherein the spacer ps is arranged on the side of the thin film transistor layer close to the opposite substrate 10 b .
[0065] For example, the black matrix layer BM is integrated with the array substrate 10a, and the spacer ps is integrated with the array substrate 10a. The black matrix layer BM is arranged on the side of the thin film transistor layer close to the opposite substrate 10b, and the spacer ps is arranged on the side of the black matrix layer BM close to the opposite substrate 10b.
[0066] For example, the black matrix layer BM is integrated on the array substrate 10a, and the spacer ps is integrated on the counter substrate 10b. The black matrix layer BM is disposed on the side of the thin film transistor layer close to the counter substrate 10b.
[0067] For another example, the black matrix layer BM and the padding ps are integrated into the opposing substrate 10b. Taking this embodiment as an example, the opposing substrate 10b includes a first substrate 101, a black matrix layer BM and a padding ps. The black matrix layer BM is arranged on the side of the first substrate 101 close to the array substrate 10a, and the padding ps is arranged on the side of the black matrix layer BM close to the array substrate 10a.
[0068] In one embodiment, the array substrate 10a includes a second substrate 102 and a thin film transistor layer 103 disposed on a side of the second substrate 102 close to the opposite substrate 10b. The thin film transistor layer 103 includes a first scan line 111, a second scan line 112, a first thin film transistor t1, and a second thin film transistor t2.
[0069] Optionally, the first scan line 111 , the second scan line 112 , the gate of the first thin film transistor t1 and the gate of the second thin film transistor t2 are provided in the same layer and are formed using the same photomask process.
[0070] In one embodiment, two rows of pixel openings b1 are disposed between two adjacent first shielding portions m1. The array substrate 10a further includes common electrode lines 13 extending along the first direction x. The common electrode lines 13 are disposed between the two rows of pixel openings b1 and between the two first shielding portions m1.
[0071] The black matrix layer BM includes a third blocking portion m3 , and the third blocking portion m3 covers the common electrode line 13 .
[0072] In panels with a single-row scan line architecture, to ensure common electrode uniformity, common electrode lines are typically located alongside the single scan line, meaning each row region is provided with a common electrode line. However, in this embodiment, common electrode lines 13 are located between two adjacent row line groups z1, rather than being integrated within row line group z1. Therefore, compared to a single-row scan line architecture, this embodiment reduces the number of common electrode lines 13 by half while ensuring common electrode uniformity, further improving the aperture ratio.
[0073] The array substrate 10a further includes data lines 12 arranged along a second direction intersecting with the first direction x. The first direction x is the first direction, and the second direction is the extending direction of the data lines 12.
[0074] In the orthographic projection pattern of the liquid crystal display panel 100, the data line 12 is arranged to intersect with the scan line and the common electrode line 13 respectively. The pixel electrode p includes a first pixel electrode p1 and a second pixel electrode p2. The first pixel electrode p1 corresponds to a pixel opening b1, and the second pixel electrode p2 corresponds to another pixel opening b1. The output electrode of the first thin-film transistor t1 is connected to the first pixel electrode p1, and the output electrode of the second thin-film transistor t2 is connected to the second pixel electrode p2. A common electrode line 13 is separated between the side of the first pixel electrode p1 away from the first thin-film transistor t1 and the side of the second pixel electrode p2 away from the second thin-film transistor t2. A line group z1 is separated between the side of the first pixel electrode p1 close to the first thin-film transistor t1 and the side of the second pixel electrode p2 close to the second thin-film transistor t2.
[0075] The black matrix layer BM further includes a second blocking portion m2 , which is cross-connected with the third blocking portion m3 , and the first blocking portion m1 and the second blocking portion m2 are cross-connected with each other.
[0076] In the orthographic projection pattern of the liquid crystal display panel 100, the first shielding portion m1, the pixel opening b1, the third shielding portion m3, and the pixel opening b1 are alternately arranged in a direction perpendicular to the first direction x. The second shielding portion m2 covers the data line 12. The third shielding portion m3 covers the common electrode line 13.
[0077] Optionally, the second shielding portion m2 completely covers the data line 12 , and the third shielding portion m3 completely covers the common electrode line 13 .
[0078] In the black matrix layer BM, first shielding portions m1 and third shielding portions m3 are alternately arranged in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. Second shielding portions m2 intersect and connect with the first shielding portions m1 and the third shielding portions m3, respectively. Two adjacent second shielding portions, a first shielding portion m1, and a third shielding portion m3 are connected to form a pixel opening b1.
[0079] Optionally, a width v1 of the third blocking portion m3 is smaller than a width v2 of the first blocking portion m1.
[0080] Optionally, the data line 12 , the input electrode and the output electrode of the first thin film transistor t1 , and the input electrode and the output electrode of the second thin film transistor t2 are arranged in the same layer and formed in the same photomask process.
[0081] It is understood that if one of the input and output electrodes of a thin film transistor is a source electrode, the other is a drain electrode. This application uses the input electrode of a thin film transistor as a source electrode and the output electrode as a drain electrode as an example for explanation, but is not limited thereto.
[0082] Optionally, the data line 12 is connected to the input electrode of the first thin film transistor t1 and the input electrode of the second thin film transistor.
[0083] In one embodiment, in the orthographic projection pattern of the liquid crystal display panel 100, a plurality of spacers ps are arranged in rows along a first direction x. In a direction perpendicular to the first direction x, a row of first pixel electrodes p1 and a row of second pixel electrodes p2 are disposed between two adjacent rows of spacers ps.
[0084] That is, two rows of pixel electrodes p are arranged between two adjacent rows of spacers ps. In the embodiment of the present application, the number of spacers ps is reduced by arranging the spacers ps in an intermittent manner, thereby improving the aperture ratio.
[0085] In one embodiment, in the orthographic projection pattern of the liquid crystal display panel 100 , the spacer ps is disposed at the intersection of the first shielding portion m1 and the second shielding portion m2 .
[0086] The spacer ps partially overlaps the first scan line 111 , the second scan line 112 , and the data line 12 at the same time.
[0087] Among them, the padding ps is arranged at the intersection of the first shielding part m1 and the second shielding part m2. On the one hand, it is convenient to position the padding ps so that the padding ps is evenly arranged; on the other hand, when the padding ps is offset due to error, the second shielding part m2 can compensate for the offset of the padding ps.
[0088] Optionally, the intersection of the first shielding portion m1 and the second shielding portion m2 is set as a base dz of the padding ps, and the base dz is used to support and shield the padding ps.
[0089] That is, in the orthographic projection pattern of the liquid crystal display panel 100 , the chassis dz completely blocks the spacer ps.
[0090] The first shielding portion m1 includes a base dz and a row shielding portion m11 connected between two adjacent bases dz.
[0091] The second shielding portion m2 includes a base dz and a column shielding portion m21 connected between two adjacent bases dz.
[0092] In the first direction x, the width of the base dz is greater than the width of the column shielding portion m21; in a direction perpendicular to the first direction x, the width of the base dz is greater than the width of the row shielding portion m11. This arrangement ensures that the base dz fully shields the padding ps.
[0093] In one embodiment, in the orthographic projection pattern of the liquid crystal display panel 100, in a direction perpendicular to the first direction x, the area where the spacer ps is located has a first width k1, the area where the first scan line 111 and the first thin film transistor t1 connected thereto are located has a second width k2, and the area where the second scan line 112 and the second thin film transistor t2 connected thereto are located has a third width k3. The first width k1 is greater than the second width k2 and the third width k3, and is less than or equal to the sum of the second width k2 and the third width k3.
[0094] The area of a single thin film transistor is reduced by changing the structure of the thin film transistor, thereby increasing the aperture ratio.
[0095] In one embodiment, in the same row line group z1 , the first thin film transistor t1 and the second thin film transistor t2 are disposed back-to-back with the first scan line 111 and the second scan line 112 separated therefrom.
[0096] That is, in the orthographic projection pattern of the liquid crystal display panel 100, in the same row line group z1, the first thin film transistor t1 is arranged on the side of the first scan line 111 away from the second scan line 112, and the second thin film transistor t2 is arranged on the side of the second scan line 112 away from the first scan line 111, and is aligned with the first thin film transistor t1.
[0097] The first thin film transistor t1 and the second thin film transistor t2 are arranged back to back, which can save space in the row direction and thus improve the resolution.
[0098] In one embodiment, the first scan line 111 includes a first main line 11a and at least one first extension portion 11b connected to a side of the first main line 11a away from the second scan line 112 and connected to the gate of the first thin film transistor t1.
[0099] The first thin film transistor t1 includes a first active layer 141. In the orthographic projection pattern of the liquid crystal display panel 100, the first active layer 141 is overlapped with the gate electrode of the first thin film transistor t1.
[0100] Optionally, the first active layer 141 and the first main line 11 a are both extended along the first direction x to reduce the width of the region where the first thin film transistor t1 is located, thereby increasing the aperture ratio.
[0101] In one embodiment, the first active layer 141 extends along the extension direction of the first main line 11a, and the extension direction of the first extension portion 11b intersects the extension direction of the first main line 11a. The first active layer 141 overlaps the gates of the two first thin film transistors t1.

In a direction perpendicular to the first direction x, along which the first shielding portion m1 extends, the width of the base dz is greater than that of the row shielding portion m11. This arrangement ensures that the base dz fully shields the padding ps. By partially overlapping the first and second thin-film transistors t1 and t2 in the first direction x, the size of the row circuit group z1 along the first direction x is reduced, thereby improving the aperture ratio.

[0133] In one embodiment, the first portion 14a and the third portion 14c are cross-connected. The first thin film transistor t1 and the second thin film transistor t2 share a common input electrode 151. The common input electrode 151 is connected to the data line 12 and to the intersection of the first portion 14a and the third portion 14c.
[0134] Optionally, the first portion 14a and the third portion 14c are connected in an orthogonal manner. The first thin film transistor t1 and the second thin film transistor t2 share an input electrode, which can save one input electrode and thus save space.

[0142] In the liquid crystal display panel of an embodiment of the present application, in an orthographic projection pattern of the liquid crystal display panel, two rows of pixel electrodes are disposed between two adjacent row line groups, a spacer is stacked on the row line group, and a first shielding portion of the black matrix layer fully covers the row line group and the spacer. In the present application, the spacer, two scan lines, and thin-film transistors connected thereto are disposed in the region where the row line group is located, so that the first shielding portion simultaneously covers the spacer, the two scan lines, and the thin-film transistors connected thereto. Compared to a design with a single row of scan lines, this avoids the region where each row of spacers is located extending beyond the width of the region adjacent to the single row of scan lines, thereby wasting additional aperture ratio. Thus, the aperture ratio of the liquid crystal display panel can be increased without limiting the size of the scan lines and thin-film transistors, and thus without sacrificing product performance.
