[0046] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] The circuit structure 3 is located on the side of the grating structure 2 facing away from the substrate 1, and the orthographic projection of the circuit structure 3 on the substrate 1 is located inside the orthographic projection of the grating pattern of the grating structure 2 on the substrate 1;
[0051] The color filter block 4 is located on the side of the grating structure 2 facing away from the base substrate 1 , and the orthographic projection of the color filter block 4 on the base substrate 1 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the spacing area of the grating structure 2 on the base substrate 1 .
[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , in the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the grating structure 2 includes a grating layer and a grating flat layer 22;
[0053] Wherein, the grating layer includes a plurality of grating patterns 21;
[0054] The grating flat layer 22 is located on a side of the grating layer away from the substrate 1 , and the grating flat layer 22 covers the grating pattern 21 and the spacing area.
[0055] In the embodiment of the present invention, by setting a plurality of grating patterns 21 on the grating structure 2 and setting a circuit structure 3 on the plurality of grating patterns 21, when the array substrate is subjected to a surface bending operation, the grating patterns can bear the force originally exerted on the circuit structure, so that the force exerted on the circuit structure is reduced, thereby protecting the circuit structure and preventing damage to the circuit structure when the array substrate is subjected to a surface bending operation. In addition, a grating flattening layer 22 is set on the grating patterns 21 and the spacing area, thereby forming a flat area, which is convenient for the subsequent setting of the circuit structure 3 and the color filter block 4.
[0056] In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, a plurality of grating patterns 21 are arranged along the first direction, the intervals between adjacent grating patterns 21 are equal, and the widths of the grating patterns 21 along the first direction are equal.
[0057] In the embodiment of the present invention, arranging the plurality of grating patterns 21 with equal spacing and width is beneficial to improving the uniformity of the overall layout of the array substrate, thereby improving the display quality of the display panel formed using the array substrate.
[0058] In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the circuit structure 3 includes: a thin film transistor composed of a gate, a gate insulating layer, an active layer, a source electrode and a drain electrode, and the array substrate may further include a passivation layer.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the array substrate further includes:
[0060] The pixel electrode layer 5 and the alignment layer 6 , wherein the pixel electrode layer 5 is located between the alignment layer 6 and the base substrate 1 , and the pixel electrode layer is located on a side of the color filter block 4 away from the base substrate 1 .
[0061] The array substrate provided in the above embodiment can be applied to a display panel adopting a TN mode or an ADS mode. The alignment layer 6 is used to guide the arrangement direction of the liquid crystal molecules and improve the optical performance of the liquid crystal display by controlling the arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules.
[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, a grating structure is arranged on the array substrate, the grating structure is located on the base substrate, the grating structure includes a plurality of grating patterns arranged at intervals, and a spacing area is formed between adjacent grating patterns; the circuit structure is located on the side of the grating structure facing away from the base substrate, and the orthographic projection of the circuit structure on the base substrate is located inside the orthographic projection of the grating pattern of the grating structure on the base substrate; the color filter block is located on the side of the grating structure facing away from the base substrate, and the orthographic projection of the color filter block on the base substrate overlaps with the orthographic projection of the spacing area of the grating structure on the base substrate. By arranging the circuit structure on the grating structure, when the array substrate is subjected to a curved surface bending operation, the grating pattern can bear the original force on the circuit structure, so that the force on the circuit structure is reduced, thereby protecting the circuit structure and preventing the circuit structure from being damaged when the array substrate is subjected to a curved surface bending operation, thereby solving the existing problem of damaging the circuit structure on the array substrate and causing light leakage in the pixel area.
[0063] When the above-mentioned array substrate is applied to a curved display panel, as the bending angle of the array substrate increases, the raised color film block 4 in the array substrate 00 will be gradually flattened, and the position of the circuit structure 3 remains unchanged, thereby reducing the misalignment of the opposing substrate 03 and the array substrate 00 in the curved display panel during the stretching process and avoiding light leakage of the curved display panel.

[0065] The opposite substrate 03 includes a black matrix 7 ; the orthographic projection of the black matrix 7 on the base substrate 1 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the circuit structure 3 on the base substrate 1 .
[0066] In the embodiment of the present invention, the array substrate 00 and the opposing substrate 03 are both flexible and bendable. When the curved display panel 02 is bent toward the opposing substrate 03, the longitudinal lines on the array substrate 00 and the opposing substrate 03 are transformed into arc curves, and the longitudinal lines of the opposing substrate 03 are shortened, while the longitudinal lines of the array substrate 00 are elongated. As the bending angle increases, the raised color film blocks 4 in the array substrate 00 are gradually flattened, while the position of the circuit structure 3 remains unchanged, thereby reducing the misalignment of the opposing substrate 03 and the array substrate 00 during the stretching process. At the same time, the grating structure 2 in the array substrate 00 can also protect the circuit structure 3 to prevent damage to the circuit structure 3 during the bending process. Moreover, since the orthographic projection of the black matrix 7 on the base substrate 1 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the circuit structure 3 on the base substrate 1, light leakage caused by the misalignment of the black matrix 7 during the bending process of the curved display panel 02 is also avoided. Figure 5 .
[0067] In an embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the orthographic projection of the circuit structure 3 on the base substrate 1 is inside the orthographic projection of the black matrix 7 on the base substrate 1, and the width of the orthographic projection of the black matrix 7 on the base substrate 1 along the first direction is greater than the orthographic projection of the circuit structure 3 on the base substrate 1.
[0068] In the embodiment of the present invention, the orthographic projection of the circuit structure 3 on the base substrate 1 is inside the orthographic projection of the black matrix 7 on the base substrate 1, and the width of the orthographic projection of the black matrix 7 on the base substrate 1 is greater than the orthographic projection of the circuit structure 3 on the base substrate 1, indicating that the orthographic projection of the black matrix 7 on the base substrate 1 completely covers the orthographic projection of the circuit structure 3 on the base substrate 1, further avoiding light leakage caused by the misalignment of the black matrix 7 during the bending process of the curved display.
