[0080] The display industry is developing rapidly and showing a trend of diversification. With the rise of various display products, the status of liquid crystal display (LCD) products has been challenged. To cope with this change, the LCD industry continues to push the boundaries of process technology. Small-size products have always been interested in narrow-frame, special-shaped structures, which poses a challenge to designers.
[0081] There are two gate line driving methods for liquid crystal display products: one is driven by a gate drive circuit (GOA) including multiple cascaded shift registers, specifically, the timing signal output by the driver chip (IC) is provided to each row of gate lines step by step through the gate drive circuit; the other is gate lead (Gateway) drive, in which the timing signal output by the driver chip is directly provided to each row of gate lines by different gate leads.
[0082] The gate lead drive scheme differs from the gate drive circuit scheme in that each shift register stage has the same structural dimensions in the gate drive circuit scheme, whereas in the gate lead drive scheme, the space occupied by the gate lead wiring increases as the distance from the driver chip decreases. Furthermore, in the rounded corners (R corners) near the driver chip in special-shaped display products, the required wiring space for the data lines increases the closer they are to the driver chip. Therefore, in special-shaped display products using the gateway drive scheme, the fanout lines occupy a large space in the rounded corners close to the driver chip, hindering the realization of a narrow bezel.
[0083] In order to improve the above technical problems existing in the related art, an array substrate provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG1 to FIG6 , includes:
[0084] A base substrate 101 includes a display area AA and a frame area BB surrounding the display area AA. The display area AA includes a first display area AA1 and a second display area AA2 sequentially arranged along a first direction Y, and the second display area AA2 is a non-rectangular display area. The frame area BB includes a first frame area BB1 surrounding the first display area AA1 and a second frame area BB2 surrounding the second display area AA2. In the present disclosure, "surrounding" can be understood as fully surrounding or partially surrounding, and is not specifically limited here.
[0085] A plurality of gate lines 102 are arranged along a first direction Y and extend along a second direction X in the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2. The gate lines 102 in the first display area AA1 extend to the first border area BB1, and the gate lines 102 in the second display area AA2 extend to the second border area BB2. The second direction X intersects the first direction Y.
[0086] A plurality of data lines 103 are insulated from the plurality of gate lines 102. The plurality of data lines 103 are arranged along the second direction X and extend along the first direction Y within the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2. The plurality of data lines 103 extend to the second border area BB2 and are disposed within the second border area BB2 around the second display area AA2.
[0087] Multiple anti-static structures 104 are electrically connected to multiple gate lines 102. The multiple anti-static structures 104 include multiple first anti-static structures 1041 located in the first border area BB1, and multiple second anti-static structures 1042 located in the second border area BB2, wherein at least part of the first anti-static structures 1041 extend along the first direction Y, and at least part of the second anti-static structures 1042 extend along the winding direction of the data line 103.
[0088] In the above-mentioned array substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, multiple data lines 103 extend to the second border area BB2 and are arranged around the second display area AA2 in the second border area BB2, making it more difficult to achieve a narrow border in the second border area BB2 compared to the first border area BB1. By extending at least part of the second anti-static structure 1042 in the second border area BB2 along the winding direction of the data line 103, it can be ensured that the space occupied by the second anti-static structure 1042 is small, thereby reducing the second border area BB2, which is conducive to achieving a narrow border design. At the same time, since the number of wirings in the first border area BB1 is small, there is sufficient space in the first border area BB1 for arranging the first anti-static structure 1041. Based on this, at least part of the first anti-static structure 1041 in the first border area BB1 can be extended along the first direction Y; when the first anti-static structure 1041 is extended in the first direction Y, it is easier to complete the design and production of the first anti-static structure 1041.
[0089] In some embodiments, in the array substrate provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the extension direction of the second anti-static structure 1042 may be substantially parallel (for example, within an angle range of 5°) or parallel to the winding direction of the data line 103. Exemplarily, as shown in FIG7 , the winding direction of the data line 103 forms an acute angle α with the first direction Y, and accordingly, the second anti-static structure 1042 extends in a direction and forms an acute angle α with the first direction Y; or, as shown in FIG8 , the winding direction of the data line 103 is an arc extension direction of 110° to 180°, and accordingly, the second anti-static structure 1042 extends along an arc with an arc angle β of 110° to 180°.
[0090] In some embodiments, in the above array substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , the first display area AA1 includes a first sub-display area AA2 that is disposed in contact with the second display area AA2. 11 , and located in the first sub-display area AA 11 The second sub-display area AA is away from the second display area AA2. 12 , the second sub-display area AA 12 The non-rectangular display area is symmetrical to the second display area AA2 about the symmetry axis MN extending along the second direction X of the display area AA. Optionally, the non-rectangular display area is located away from the first sub-display area AA. 11 In the direction of 12 The width along the second direction X gradually decreases; the first frame area BB1 includes the first sub-display area AA in the second direction X. 11 The first sub-border area BB is arranged side by side 11 , and in the second direction X with the second sub display area AA 12 The second sub-border area BB is set side by side 12, the second sub-border area BB 12 With the second sub display area AA 12 With a stepped boundary line. And referring to FIG3 to FIG5, it can be seen that in order to reduce the first sub-frame area BB 11 and the second sub-border area BB 12 The width of the first sub-border area BB 11 The first anti-static structures 1041 are arranged side by side along the first direction Y, and the second sub-frame area BB 12 The first anti-static structure 1041 is disposed at the step of the stepped boundary line.
[0091] Continuing to refer to FIG. 4 , it can be seen that in the second sub-display area AA 12 The second sub-border area BB on one side 12 The distances between two adjacent first anti-static structures 1041 in the first direction Y and the second direction X are d1 and d2, respectively. In some embodiments, the distance d1 between two adjacent first anti-static structures 1041 in the first direction Y may be approximately equal to (i.e., equal to or within a reasonable error range caused by factors such as manufacturing and measurement) the sum d3 of the lengths of the two pixels in the first direction Y (which may be equivalent to the sum of the lengths of the two pixel electrodes in the first direction Y), and the distance d2 between two adjacent first anti-static structures 1041 in the second direction X may be approximately equal to (i.e., equal to or within a reasonable error range caused by factors such as manufacturing and measurement) the sum d3 of the widths of the two pixels in the second direction X (which may be equivalent to the sum of the widths of the six pixel electrodes in the second direction X when a single pixel includes three sub-pixels).
[0092] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned array substrate provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 4 to 6, at least part of the gate line 102 is electrically connected to the anti-static structure 104 after being bent in the first border area BB1 and the second border area BB2, so that the electrostatic current on the gate line 102 flows smoothly, thereby improving the anti-static capability.
[0093] In some embodiments, in the array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG3 , the anti-static structures 104 electrically connecting two adjacent gate lines 102 can be located on either side of the display area AA. Compared to a solution in which the anti-static structures 104 are located on the same side of the display area AA, by disposing the anti-static structures 104 electrically connecting two adjacent gate lines 102 on either side of the display area AA, the first border area BB1 on both sides of the display area AA can be made narrower, thereby facilitating a narrower border in the first border area BB1.

When static electricity occurs, a large current can be guided to flow to the common electrode line 109 and the common electrode 110, thereby preventing static electricity from damaging the product. Of course, in some embodiments, the short-circuit ring 108 can also be connected to the ground wire (GND) through the first floating anti-static structure 106 and the second floating anti-static structure 107, which is not limited here.
[0098] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned array substrate provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 10 to 12, may further include a first connecting line 111, which is arranged on the same layer as the multiple gate lines 102, and the first connecting line 111 is used to connect the second floating anti-static structure 107 and the common electrode 110; optionally, the first connecting line 111 is arranged on the same layer and with the same material as the multiple gate lines 102.

The widened portion W of the grid structure has good light transmittance, which is beneficial to enhancing the curing effect of light (such as ultraviolet light) on the frame sealant.
[0100] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned array substrate provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 10, 15a, 15b, 16a, 16b, 17a and 17b, it may also include multiple gate leads 113, which are electrically connected to the multiple anti-static structures 104 on the side of the multiple anti-static structures 104 away from the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2, and only part of the gate leads 113 extends from the second border area BB2 to the first border area BB1; optionally, the multiple gate leads 113 include multiple first gate leads 1131 and multiple second gate leads 1132, the multiple first gate leads 1131 are on the same layer as the multiple gate lines 102, and the multiple second gate leads 1132 are on the same layer as the multiple data lines 103, and the orthographic projection of the first gate leads 1131 on the base substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the second gate leads 1132 on the base substrate 101 partially overlap. Since the signal on the gate lead 113 can be ±12V and the gate lead 113 is long, if the orthographic projection of the first gate lead 1131 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second gate lead 1132, parasitic capacitance will be formed between the first gate lead 1131 and the second gate lead 1132, causing mutual interference. Therefore, in order to reduce the parasitic capacitance between the first gate lead 1131 and the second gate lead 1132 in the present disclosure, the orthographic projection of the first gate lead 1131 on the substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the second gate lead 1132 on the substrate 101 are set to overlap at most; optionally, under the premise that the wiring space permits, the orthographic projection of the first gate lead 1131 on the substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the second gate lead 1132 on the substrate 101 can be set not to overlap with each other (that is, staggered with each other), and the orthographic projection of the first gate lead 1131 on the substrate 101 and the orthographic projection of the second gate lead 1132 on the substrate 101 can be alternately set, as shown in Figures 15b, 16b and 17b.

T1 The gate G of the first transistor T1 T1 Electrically connected, the second electrode D of the first transistor T1 T1 and the first electrode S of the second transistor T2 T2 The second electrode D of the second transistor T2 is integrated. T2 and the first electrode S of the first transistor T1 T1 The gate G of the second transistor T2 is integrated. T2 and the first electrode S of the second transistor T2 T2, and is electrically connected to the short-circuit ring 108. When there is a lot of static electricity on the gate line 102, the first transistor T1 is turned on, directing the static electricity to the short-circuit ring 108 and then outputting it to the common electrode line 109 for release; when there is a lot of static electricity on the short-circuit ring 108, on the one hand, the static electricity can be directly released to the common electrode line 109, and on the other hand, the second transistor T2 is turned on, dispersing the static electricity to the gate line 102 and the gate lead 113. In this way, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 can effectively prevent excessive concentration of static electricity, thereby improving the anti-static effect.
[0102] It should be noted that, in the case where the anti-static structure 104 in the present disclosure includes the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, the extension direction of the anti-static structure 104 in the present disclosure can be understood as the extension direction of the active layer of the transistor (in the extension direction of the active layer, the length of the active layer is longer), that is, the first anti-static structure 1041 extending along the first direction Y is equivalent to the active layer A of the first transistor T1. T1 and the active layer A of the second transistor T2 T2 Extending along the first direction Y, the second anti-static structure 1042 extends along the winding direction of the data line 103 and is equivalent to the active layer A of the first transistor T1. T1 and the active layer A of the second transistor T2 T2 Extending along the winding direction of the data line 103. In addition, the first floating anti-static structure 106 and the second floating anti-static structure 107 in the present disclosure may also include a first transistor T1 and a second transistor T2, but the difference from the anti-static structure 104 is that in the first floating anti-static structure 106 and the second floating anti-static structure 107, the gate G of the first transistor T1 is T1 It is electrically connected to the common electrode line 109. In addition, in the present disclosure, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 may be bottom-gate transistors, that is, the layer where the gate is located is located between the active layer and the base substrate 101; of course, in some embodiments, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 may be top-gate transistors, that is, the active layer is located between the layer where the gate is located and the base substrate 101.
[0103] In some embodiments, the array substrate provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a plurality of first transfer electrodes 114 and a plurality of second transfer electrodes 115, as shown in FIG13. The plurality of first transfer electrodes 114 and the plurality of second transfer electrodes 115 are arranged in the same layer on the side away from the base substrate 101 in the layer where the plurality of gate lines 102 and the layer where the plurality of data lines 103 are located; the gate G of the first transistor T1 T1 The gate G of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the gate line 102 and the gate lead 113 through the first transfer electrode 114. T1 Through the second switching electrode 115 and the first electrode S of the second transistor T2T2 , and the short-circuit ring 108 are electrically connected. In some embodiments, the transfer electrode can have the same width as the gate of the transistor and be wider than the gate line 102 , for example, at least 1.5 times the width of the gate line 102 .
[0104] In some embodiments, in the array substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG10, FIG15a, FIG15b, FIG16a, FIG16b, FIG17a and FIG17b, the gate lead 113 includes a gate lead 113 located in the non-rectangular area BB. 22 The first gate lead section G1 is located in the routing area BB 23 a second gate lead division G2, and a third gate lead division G3 connecting the first gate lead division G1 and the second gate lead division G2; the sum of the line width of the first gate lead division G1 and the line spacing of the adjacent first gate lead division G1 on the same layer is a first distance P1, the sum of the line width of the second gate lead division G2 and the line spacing of the adjacent second gate lead division G2 on the same layer is a second distance P2, the sum of the line width of the third gate lead division G3 and the line spacing of the adjacent third gate lead division G3 on the same layer is a third distance P3, the ratio of the first distance P1 to the second distance P2 is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 1.5, optionally, the second distance P2 is substantially the same as the third distance P3, that is, the same or within an error range (for example, ±5%) caused by factors such as manufacturing and measurement. Optionally, the first distance P1 is 6.5 μm, 7 μm, 7.5 μm, 8 μm, 8.5 μm, 9 μm, etc., and the second distance P2 is 6 μm, 6.1 μm, 6.2 μm, 6.3 μm, 6.4 μm, 6.5 μm, etc.
[0105] Since the gate leads 113 are located in the non-rectangular area BB 22 There are many wiring angles, and when the line width is small, compensation design is required to ensure that the line width uniformity of different gate leads 113 is better. When the compensation angles are large, compensation errors are prone to occur, resulting in short circuit (Short) or open circuit (Open) defects in the product. Considering that the second anti-static structure 1042 is provided in the present disclosure to extend along the winding direction of the data line 103, it is beneficial to reduce the space occupied by the second anti-static structure 1042. The saved space can be used to increase the wiring size (pitch), increase the process margin (Margin), and avoid defects. Based on this, the wiring size (i.e., the first distance P1) of the first gate lead division G1 is increased in the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the wiring size of the first gate lead section G1 can be increased by increasing the line width of the first gate lead section G1 and / or the line spacing between adjacent first gate lead sections G1 on the same layer; illustratively, the line width of the first gate lead section G1 is increased from 3.7 μm to 4.8 μm, and the line spacing between adjacent first gate lead sections G1 on the same layer is increased from 2.5 μm to 3.2 μm.
[0106] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned array substrate provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 10 and 18, a plurality of third connecting lines 116 may be further included, and the plurality of third connecting lines 116 are in the same layer as the plurality of gate lines 102; the plurality of data lines 103 include first data lines 1031 and second data lines 1032 arranged alternately, and the first data lines 1031 span the non-rectangular area BB from the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2. 21 And extends to the binding area BB 21 The second data line 1032 extends from the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 across the non-rectangular area BB. 22 And connected to the binding area BB via the third connection line 116 21 The second data line 1032 is connected to the binding area BB by using the third connecting line 116 on the same layer as the gate line 102. 21 , reducing the total amount of wiring on the layer where the data line 103 is located, which is beneficial to the narrow frame design.
[0107] In some embodiments, in the array substrate provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 10 and 18 , the orthographic projection of the third connection line 116 on the base substrate 101 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the adjacent first data line 1031 on the base substrate 101. Because the signal on the data line 103 is relatively small, for example, ±5V, and the data line 103 is relatively short, even if the orthographic projection of the first data line 1031 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the third connection line 116, no significant parasitic capacitance is generated between the two. Based on this, in the present disclosure, the orthographic projection of the third connection line 116 on the base substrate 101 can be configured to at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the adjacent first data line 1031 on the base substrate 101.
[0108] In some embodiments, the array substrate provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 18 and 19, further includes a plurality of third transfer electrodes 117, a first insulating layer 118, and a second insulating layer 119. The layer where the plurality of third transfer electrodes 117 are located is located on a side of the layer where the plurality of gate lines 102 are located and the layer where the plurality of data lines 103 are located, away from the base substrate 101. The first insulating layer 118 is located between the layer where the plurality of gate lines 102 are located and the layer where the plurality of data lines 103 are located. The second insulating layer 119 is located between the layer where the plurality of data lines 103 are located and the layer where the plurality of third transfer electrodes 117 are located. In addition, the third transfer electrode 117 is electrically connected to the third connection line 116 through at least one first via hole h1 penetrating the first insulating layer 118 and the second insulating layer 119. The third transfer electrode 117 is electrically connected to the second data line 1032 through at least one second via hole h2 penetrating the second insulating layer 119. The at least one first via hole h1 and the at least one second via hole h2 corresponding to the same third transfer electrode 117 are arranged along the first direction Y to save wiring space.
[0109] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned array substrate provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 10 and 20, it can also include multiple fourth connection lines 120 and multiple fifth connection lines 121, the multiple fourth connection lines 120 and the multiple gate lines 102 are on the same layer, and the multiple fifth connection lines 121 and the multiple data lines 103 are on the same layer; the multiple data lines 103 include third data lines 1033 and fourth data lines 1034 arranged alternately, and the third data lines 1033 extend from the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 to the routing area BB. 23 And connected to the binding area BB via the fourth connection line 120 21 The fourth data line 1034 extends from the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2 to the routing area BB 23 And connected to the binding area BB via the fifth connection line 121 21 BB in the routing area 23 Therefore, the fourth connection line 120 and the fifth connection line 121 can be used to connect the third data line 1033 and the fourth data line 1034 to the binding area BB respectively. 21 And by using the fourth connecting line 120 on the same layer as the gate line 102, the third data line 1033 is transferred to the binding area BB 21 , reducing the total amount of wiring on the layer where the data line 103 is located, which is beneficial to the narrow frame design.
[0110] In some embodiments, in the array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 10 and 20 , the orthographic projection of the fourth connecting line 120 on the base substrate 101 at least partially overlaps the orthographic projection of the fifth connecting line 121 on the base substrate 101. Because both the fourth connecting line 120 and the fifth connecting line 121 transmit relatively small data signals, such as ±5V, and are relatively short, even if the orthographic projection of the fourth connecting line 120 and the orthographic projection of the fifth connecting line 121 overlap, they do not interfere with each other due to the large parasitic capacitance. Based on this, in the present disclosure, the orthographic projection of the fourth connecting line 120 on the base substrate 101 can be arranged to at least partially overlap the orthographic projection of the fifth connecting line 121 on the base substrate 101. Furthermore, since there are a large number of fourth connecting lines 120 and fifth connecting lines 121, overlapping them can reduce wiring space, facilitating a narrow bezel design.
[0111] In some embodiments, the array substrate provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a plurality of fourth transfer electrodes 122 and a plurality of fifth transfer electrodes 123, as shown in FIG20. The plurality of fourth transfer electrodes 122 and the plurality of fifth transfer electrodes 123 may be arranged in the same layer on the side away from the base substrate 101 of the layer where the plurality of gate lines 102 are located and the layer where the plurality of data lines 103 are located; the fourth transfer electrode 122 is electrically connected to the fourth connection line 120 through at least one third via hole h3 penetrating the first insulating layer 118 and the second insulating layer 119, and the fourth transfer electrode 122 is electrically connected to the third data line 1033 through at least one fourth via hole h4 penetrating the second insulating layer 119; and due to the routing area BB 23 There is sufficient wiring space, therefore, the at least one third via hole h3 and the at least one fourth via hole h4 corresponding to the same fourth transfer electrode 122 are respectively arranged along the second direction X; the fifth transfer electrode 123 is electrically connected to the fifth connection line 121 through at least one fifth via hole h5 penetrating the second insulating layer 119, and the fifth transfer electrode 123 is electrically connected to the fourth data line 1034 through at least one sixth via hole h6 penetrating the second insulating layer 119; and because the routing area BB 23 Therefore, the at least one fifth via hole h5 and the at least one sixth via hole h6 corresponding to the same fifth switching electrode 123 can be arranged along the second direction X, respectively.
[0112] In some embodiments, to reduce the number of film layers and save patterning times, the first transfer electrode 114, the second transfer electrode 115, the third transfer electrode 117, the fourth transfer electrode 122, and the fifth transfer electrode 123 in the present disclosure can be provided on the same layer. For example, each transfer electrode can be provided on the same layer as the common electrode 110. In addition, the first via h1 and the third via h3 penetrating the first insulating layer 118 and the second insulating layer 119, as well as the second via h2, the fourth via h4, the fifth via h5, and the sixth via h6 penetrating the second insulating layer 119, can be formed through a single patterning process.
[0113] In some embodiments, in the array substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 21 to FIG. 23 , the first data line 1031 includes a first data line 1031 located in the non-rectangular area BB. 22 The first data line segment S1 and the routing area BB 23The sum of the line width of the first data line section S1 and the line spacing between adjacent first data line sections S1 is a fourth distance P4, the sum of the line width of the second data line section S2 and the line spacing between adjacent second data line sections S2 is a fifth distance P5, and the ratio of the fourth distance P4 to the fifth distance P5 is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 1.5. Optionally, the fourth distance P4 is 6.5μm, 7μm, 7.5μm, 8μm, etc., and the fifth distance P5 is 6μm, 6.1μm, 6.2μm, 6.3μm, 6.4μm, etc.
[0114] Since the gate line 102 needs to be drawn out from the display area AA and cross the first data line division S1 to be connected to the anti-static structure 104, the first data line division S1 is distributed in oblique stripes, and the inclination directions of the first data line divisions S1 on the left and right sides of the second display area AA2 are exactly opposite. The line width and line spacing of each first data line division S1 balance each other. When the line spacing is small, short circuits are prone to occur, and when the line width is small, open circuits are prone to occur. Considering that the second anti-static structure 1042 is provided in the present disclosure to extend along the winding direction of the data line 103, it is beneficial to reduce the space occupied by the second anti-static structure 1042. The saved space can be used to increase the wiring size (pitch), increase the process margin (Margin), and avoid defects. Based on this, the wiring size of the first data line division S1 (i.e., the fourth distance P4) is increased in the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the wiring size of the first data line portion S1 can be increased by increasing the line width of the first data line portion S1 and / or the line spacing of the adjacent first gate lead portion G1 on the same layer; illustratively, the line width of the first data line portion S1 is increased from 3.3μm to 4.2μm, and the line spacing of adjacent first data line portions S1 is increased from 2.7μm to 2.8μm.
[0115] In some embodiments, in the above-mentioned array substrate provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG10 , a grounding line 124 may also be included. The grounding line 124 is provided in the same layer as the plurality of gate lines 102. The grounding line 124 is located on the side of the plurality of gate leads 113 away from the plurality of anti-static structures 104, and a blank is provided on the side of the grounding line 124 away from the plurality of gate leads 113. In other words, the grounding line 124 is wired at the outermost periphery of the frame area BB. In the related art, a common electrode line is also provided in addition to the grounding line 124. The present disclosure saves this common electrode line, which can ensure that the frame sealant wraps all the wirings in the frame area BB in consideration of process fluctuations, thereby achieving better protection for all the wirings in the frame area BB and avoiding oxidation and other defects of all the wirings in the frame area BB. In addition, the grounding line 124 can also prevent external static electricity from entering the display area AA, thereby achieving an anti-static effect.
[0116] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned array substrate provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, further includes a plurality of floating blocks 125, and the plurality of floating blocks 125 are arranged on the same layer as the plurality of gate lines 102, and the plurality of floating blocks 125 are roughly evenly distributed between the ground line 124 and the plurality of gate leads 113, that is, the distribution density of the plurality of floating blocks 125 in the area between the ground line 124 and the plurality of gate leads 113 is the same or within a reasonable error range caused by factors such as manufacturing and measurement. Since the distance between the grounding wire 124 and the nearest gate lead 113 is greater than the distance between two adjacent gate leads 113, the support effect of the frame sealant in the area between the grounding wire 124 and the multiple gate leads 113 will be reduced; and since the number of wirings in the first border area BB1 is less than the number of wirings in the second border area BB2, the support effect of the frame sealant in the first border area BB1 is not ideal. In the present disclosure, by evenly arranging floating blocks 125 in the area between the grounding wire 124 and the multiple gate leads 113, the frame sealant can be effectively supported, and the floating blocks 125 can also play a certain anti-static role.
[0117] In some embodiments, the array substrate provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG24 , may further include a pixel electrode 126 located in the display area AA, a switching transistor 127 connecting the pixel electrode 126 to the data line 103, and the like. Optionally, the pixel electrode 126 is a block electrode located in the pixel opening region, and the common electrode 110 has a slit in the pixel opening region. Optionally, the pixel electrode 126 is located between the first insulating layer 118 and the second insulating layer 119, and the common electrode 110 is located on the side of the second insulating layer 119 away from the base substrate 101. Other essential components of the array substrate are readily understood by those skilled in the art and are not described here in detail, nor should they be construed as limitations of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the driver chip 002 is also electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 003. Optionally, the number of driver chips 002 can be one or more, which is not limited here. Since the principle of solving the problem by the display device is similar to the principle of solving the problem by the above-mentioned array substrate, the implementation of the display device can refer to the embodiment of the above-mentioned array substrate, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.
[0119] In some embodiments, the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may be a liquid crystal display screen. The liquid crystal display screen may include a backlight module and a display panel located on the light-emitting side of the backlight module. The display panel includes a display substrate and an opposing substrate disposed opposite to each other, a liquid crystal layer located between the display substrate and the opposing substrate, a sealant surrounding the liquid crystal layer between the display substrate and the opposing substrate, a first polarizer located on the side of the display substrate away from the liquid crystal layer, and a second polarizer located on the side of the opposing substrate away from the liquid crystal layer; wherein the polarization direction of the first polarizer is perpendicular to the polarization direction of the second polarizer; the backlight module may be a direct-lit backlight module or an edge-lit backlight module. Optionally, the edge-lit backlight module may include a light bar, a stacked reflective sheet, a light guide plate, a diffuser, a prism assembly, etc., wherein the light bar is located on one side of the thickness direction of the light guide plate. The direct-lit backlight module may include a matrix light source, a reflective sheet, a diffuser, and a brightness enhancement film stacked on the light-emitting side of the matrix light source, wherein the reflective sheet includes openings arranged directly opposite to the positions of the individual lamp beads in the matrix light source. The lamp beads in the light bar and the lamp beads in the matrix light source can be light-emitting diodes (LEDs), such as micro light-emitting diodes (Mini LED, Micro LED, etc.).
[0120] Submillimeter or even micron-scale micro-LEDs are self-luminous devices, just like organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Like organic light-emitting diodes, they have a series of advantages such as high brightness, ultra-low latency, and ultra-large viewing angles. And because inorganic light-emitting diodes emit light based on metal semiconductors with more stable properties and lower resistance, they have the advantages of lower power consumption, greater resistance to high and low temperatures, and longer service life compared to organic light-emitting diodes that emit light based on organic matter. And when micro-LEDs are used as backlight sources, more precise dynamic backlight effects can be achieved. While effectively improving screen brightness and contrast, they can also solve the glare phenomenon caused by traditional dynamic backlighting between bright and dark areas of the screen, thereby optimizing the visual experience.
