When the electromagnetic pen touches the display surface, the sensor inside the panel can determine the touch point position information of the electromagnetic pen in three-dimensional space by calculating the electromagnetic changes, and achieve a precise and delicate writing experience.

[0051] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0052] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure should have the usual meanings understood by persons of ordinary skill in the field to which this disclosure belongs. The words "first", "second" and similar terms used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Words such as "include" or "comprise" mean that the elements or objects preceding the word include the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Words such as "connect" or "connected" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.
[0053] Unless otherwise defined, the features such as "parallel", "perpendicular" and "same" used in the embodiments of the present disclosure include the cases of "parallel", "perpendicular", "same" in a strict sense, as well as the cases of "approximately parallel", "approximately perpendicular", "approximately the same" and the like which contain certain errors. For example, the above-mentioned "approximately" may mean that the difference between the compared objects is 10% of the average value of the compared objects, or within 5%. When the number of a component or element is not specifically indicated below in the embodiments of the present disclosure, it means that the component or element may be one or more, or may be understood as at least one. "At least one" refers to one or more, and "multiple" refers to at least two. The "same-layer arrangement" in the embodiments of the present disclosure refers to the relationship between multiple film layers formed by the same material after the same step (for example, a one-step patterning process). The "same layer" here does not always mean that the thickness of multiple film layers is the same or the height of multiple film layers in the cross-sectional view is the same.
[0054] Compared to conventional display products, electromagnetic touch display products incorporate electromagnetic touch coils and common electrode lines within the display area. When the screen displays an image, the differing signals from the electromagnetic touch lines and the common electrode generate a potential difference. When this new electric field exceeds the threshold voltage of the liquid crystal, it drives the liquid crystal to deflect, resulting in undesirable light leakage. Addressing this light leakage by increasing the size of the black matrix will impact the pixel aperture ratio. Furthermore, electromagnetic touch display products contain a multi-layer electromagnetic coil structure, and the complex metal wiring also impacts pixel aperture.
[0055] Figure 1 A simulated diagram of liquid crystal deflection along a cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal electromagnetic touch line of an electromagnetic touch display product in normally black mode; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the array substrate structure is shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper portion of the longitudinal electromagnetic touch line 11 is not covered by the common electrode 12 , and the electric field generated by the potential difference between the longitudinal electromagnetic touch line 11 and the common electrode 12 deflects the liquid crystal 13 , resulting in undesirable light leakage when the screen is displaying. Figure 3 A simulated diagram of liquid crystal deflection along a cross-section perpendicular to the horizontal electromagnetic touch line of an electromagnetic touch display product in normally black mode; Figure 4 for Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the array substrate structure is shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper portion of the transverse electromagnetic touch line 14 is covered by the common electrode 12 . The electric field generated by the potential difference between the transverse electromagnetic touch line 14 and the common electrode 12 causes the liquid crystal to deflect, resulting in undesirable light leakage when the screen is displaying.
[0056] In this regard, embodiments of the present disclosure provide an array substrate, an electromagnetic touch display device, and a driving method thereof. The array substrate includes a base substrate, a source / drain metal layer, a common electrode layer, and a plurality of first electromagnetic traces. The source / drain metal layer is located on the base substrate and includes a plurality of data lines arranged along a first direction and extending along a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are arranged to intersect each other; the common electrode layer is located on a side of the source / drain metal layer away from the base substrate and includes a plurality of first strip-shaped common electrodes extending along the second direction, wherein the plurality of first strip-shaped common electrodes are arranged in an array on the base substrate to form a plurality of first strip-shaped common electrode columns; a plurality of first electromagnetic traces are arranged along the first direction and extending along the second direction and are located on a side of the common electrode layer facing the base substrate; each of the plurality of first electromagnetic traces is arranged corresponding to one of the plurality of data lines, and the plurality of first electromagnetic traces are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first strip-shaped common electrode columns; for the corresponding data lines, first strip-shaped common electrode columns, and first electromagnetic traces, within an area sandwiched by two straight lines passing through two ends of each first strip-shaped common electrode and extending along the first direction, the orthographic projections of the first electromagnetic traces and the data lines on the base substrate fall within the orthographic projections of the first strip-shaped common electrodes on the base substrate.
[0057] In the array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first electromagnetic traces are covered by the first common electrode strips within the region bounded by two straight lines extending along a first direction and passing through the two ends of each first common electrode strip. The first common electrode strips shield the first electromagnetic traces, thereby reducing or preventing the electric field generated by the potential difference between the first electromagnetic traces and the common electrode layer from affecting liquid crystal deflection, further reducing or preventing undesirable light leakage. Furthermore, the first common electrode strips shield the data lines, reducing or preventing the electric field generated by the potential difference between the data lines and the common electrode layer from affecting liquid crystal deflection, further reducing or preventing undesirable light leakage.
[0058] Hereinafter, the array substrate, the electromagnetic touch display device and the driving method thereof provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0059] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an array substrate. Figure 5 A schematic structural diagram of an array substrate provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 6 for Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the local structure shown; Figure 7 for Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the cross-section structure along the cutting line AB. Figures 5 to 7As shown, the array substrate 100 includes a base substrate 110, a source / drain metal layer 130, a common electrode layer 160, and a plurality of first electromagnetic traces 170. The source / drain metal layer 130 is located on the base substrate 110 and includes a plurality of data lines 131 arranged along a first direction X and extending along a second direction Y, wherein the first direction X and the second direction Y are arranged to intersect; the common electrode layer 160 is located on a side of the source / drain metal layer 130 away from the base substrate 110 and includes a plurality of first strip-shaped common electrodes 161 extending along the second direction Y, wherein the plurality of first strip-shaped common electrodes 161 are arranged in an array on the base substrate 110 to form a plurality of first strip-shaped common electrode columns 161C, wherein each first strip-shaped common electrode column 161C of the plurality of first strip-shaped common electrode columns 161C extends along the second direction Y; the plurality of first electromagnetic traces 170 are arranged along the first direction X and extend along the second direction Y, and are located on a side of the common electrode layer 160 facing the base substrate 110. Figure 7 In the cross-sectional view shown, the first electromagnetic trace 170 is located in the source / drain metal layer 130. However, this is not a limitation in the present disclosure; it can be located on the side of the common electrode layer 160 facing the base substrate 110. Each of the plurality of first electromagnetic traces 170 is provided corresponding to one of the plurality of data lines 131. The plurality of first electromagnetic traces 170 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first strip-shaped common electrode columns 161C. For the corresponding data lines 131, first strip-shaped common electrode columns 161C, and first electromagnetic traces 170, within the region bounded by straight lines L1 and L2, which pass through the two ends of each first strip-shaped common electrode 161 and extend along the first direction X, the orthographic projections of the first electromagnetic trace 170 and the data lines 131 on the base substrate 110 fall within the orthographic projections of the first strip-shaped common electrodes 161 on the base substrate 110.
[0060] In the array substrate 100 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first electromagnetic traces 170 are covered by the first common electrode strips 161 within the region bounded by the straight lines L1 and L2, which pass through the two ends of each first common electrode strip 161 and extend along the first direction X. The first common electrode strips 161 can shield the first electromagnetic traces 170, thereby reducing or preventing the electric field generated by the potential difference between the first electromagnetic traces 170 and the common electrode layer 160 from affecting liquid crystal deflection, further reducing or preventing the occurrence of undesirable light leakage. Furthermore, the first common electrode strips 161 can also shield the data lines 131, reducing or preventing the electric field generated by the potential difference between the data lines 131 and the common electrode layer 160 from affecting liquid crystal deflection, further reducing or preventing the occurrence of undesirable light leakage. It should be noted that the extension along the first direction X, the extension along the second direction Y or the extension along the specified direction mentioned in this application can be strictly extending along the direction or approximately extending along the direction. For example, extending approximately along the direction can include the extension direction of the local position having an angle less than or equal to 10 degrees with the direction, or the local position can have a bending feature or a protruding feature, etc.
[0061] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the array substrate 100 further includes a plurality of gate lines 121 extending along a first direction X and arranged along a second direction Y. The plurality of gate lines 121 and the plurality of data lines 131 define a plurality of sub-pixel openings 190, and the plurality of sub-pixel openings 190 are arranged in an array on the base substrate 110. Each of the plurality of first strip-shaped common electrodes 161 is provided corresponding to one of the plurality of sub-pixel openings 190. For example, the sub-pixel openings 190 may be further defined by a black matrix layer to be described later, so as to form a light-transmitting area of the sub-pixel corresponding to the sub-pixel opening 190. For example, the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting area on the base substrate falls within the orthographic projection of the sub-pixel opening 190 on the base substrate.
[0062] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the size of the first strip common electrode 161 in the second direction Y is greater than or equal to the size of the adjacent sub-pixel opening 190 in the second direction Y, thereby better reducing or avoiding the undesirable light leakage caused by liquid crystal deflection.
[0063] Figure 8 This is a partial structural diagram of a first strip common electrode column provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 As shown, the plurality of first strip-shaped common electrodes 161 of the first strip-shaped common electrode column 161C may be spaced apart from each other in the second direction Y. For example, Figure 8As shown, a gap H1 is provided between two adjacent first strip common electrodes 161 in the second direction Y. The dimension of the gap H1 in the first direction X is greater than or equal to the dimension of the first strip common electrode 161 in the first direction X. For example, the multiple first strip common electrodes 161 of the first strip common electrode column 161C can be connected via other connection structures of the common electrode layer 160, thereby realizing a common signal. For example, the two ends 161a of a first strip common electrode 161 (only one end 161a of each first strip common electrode 161 is shown in the figure) are located outside the upper and lower boundaries of the corresponding sub-pixel opening 190 (only one boundary 190a of the upper and lower boundaries of each sub-pixel opening 190 is shown in the figure) in the extension direction of the first strip common electrode 161. It should be noted that in this application, two adjacent first strip common electrodes 161 in the second direction Y refer to the situation where there is no first strip common electrode 161 between the two first strip common electrodes 161, but other structures, such as a gap, may be provided. Figure 8 The sub-pixel opening 190 shown in FIG. 1 is only used to exemplify the first strip-shaped common electrode column 161C and the first strip-shaped common electrode 161 , and is not intended to limit the embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0064] Figure 9 This is a partial structural diagram of another first strip common electrode column provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 9 As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the plurality of first strip common electrodes 161 of the first strip common electrode column 161C may be continuous in the second direction Y, and there is no gap between two adjacent first strip common electrodes 161 in the second direction Y. For example, Figure 9 As shown in (b), there is a gap H2 between two adjacent first strip common electrodes 161 in the second direction Y, but the gap H2 and the first strip common electrode column 161C are staggered in the second direction Y, and do not make the two adjacent first strip common electrodes 161 completely discontinuous.
[0065] It should be noted that in Figure 9 In the example shown, both ends 161a of a first strip common electrode 161 (only one end 161a of each first strip common electrode 161 is shown in the figure) are located outside the upper and lower boundaries of the corresponding sub-pixel opening 190 (only one boundary 190a of the upper and lower boundaries of each sub-pixel opening 190 is shown in the figure) in the extension direction of the first strip common electrode 161. Figure 9 As shown, each adjacent two first strip-shaped common electrodes 161 of the first strip-shaped common electrode column 161C are connected via a connecting portion 164. Of course, the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the structural design and arrangement of the first strip-shaped common electrode column 161C. Figure 9The sub-pixel opening 190 shown in FIG. 1 is only used to exemplify the first strip-shaped common electrode column 161C and the first strip-shaped common electrode 161 , and is not intended to limit the embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0066] In some examples, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the first strip common electrodes 161 are continuously arranged in a direction parallel to the base substrate 110 and perpendicular to the extension direction of the first strip common electrodes 161. This can reduce the difficulty of the manufacturing process of the first strip common electrodes 161 and improve the yield rate.
[0067] In some examples, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, for the corresponding data lines 131, first strip-shaped common electrode columns 161C, and first electromagnetic traces 170, within the region enclosed by straight lines L1 and L2, which pass through the two ends of each first strip-shaped common electrode 161 and extend along the first direction X, the orthographic projection of the gap Gap between the first electromagnetic traces 170 and the data lines 131 on the base substrate 110 falls within the orthographic projection of the first strip-shaped common electrodes 161 on the base substrate 110. This reduces or prevents the electric field generated by the potential difference between the first electromagnetic traces 170 or the data lines 131 and the common electrode layer 160 through the gap Gap from affecting liquid crystal deflection, thereby reducing or preventing the occurrence of undesirable light leakage.
[0068] In some examples, each first electromagnetic trace 170 of the plurality of first electromagnetic traces 170 can correspond one-to-one with each data line 131 of the plurality of data lines 131, thereby increasing the number of first electromagnetic traces 170 and improving touch sensitivity. Of course, the disclosed embodiments do not limit the quantitative or positional correspondence between the first electromagnetic traces 170 and the data lines 131. For example, a first electromagnetic trace 170 can be provided for every equal number of data lines 131, or a first electromagnetic trace 170 can be provided for every different number of data lines 131.
[0069] For example, the array substrate further includes a plurality of sub-pixels, and the plurality of sub-pixels are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of sub-pixel openings. For example, the plurality of sub-pixels include a first color sub-pixel, a second color sub-pixel, and a third color sub-pixel. For example, the first color, the second color, and the third color are different, for example, the first color is red, the second color is green, and the third color is blue. Of course, the present disclosure includes but is not limited to this, and the above-mentioned first color, second color, and third color may also be other colors. For example, the plurality of sub-pixels of the array substrate are arranged in an array on the base substrate to form a first color sub-pixel column, a second color sub-pixel column, and a third color sub-pixel column adjacent to each other in sequence.
[0070] For example, the first electromagnetic trace can be located between the first color sub-pixel column and the second color sub-pixel column. Of course, the present disclosure includes but is not limited to this. For example, the first electromagnetic trace can be set between each adjacent sub-pixel column.
[0071] Figure 10 for Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the cross-section structure along the cutting line CD. Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the common electrode layer 160 further includes a plurality of second strip-shaped common electrodes 162 extending along a second direction Y. The plurality of second strip-shaped common electrodes 162 are arranged in an array on the base substrate 110 to form a plurality of second strip-shaped common electrode columns 162C. Each second strip-shaped common electrode column 162C of the plurality of second strip-shaped common electrode columns 162C extends along the second direction Y. Each second strip-shaped common electrode column 162C of the plurality of second strip-shaped common electrode columns 162C at least partially overlaps with one of the plurality of data lines 131. The data line 131 at least partially overlapping with the second strip-shaped common electrode column 162C and the data line 131 corresponding to the first electromagnetic trace 170 are different data lines 131. The second strip-shaped common electrodes 162 can shield the corresponding data line 131, thereby reducing or preventing the electric field generated by the potential difference between the data line 131 and the common electrode layer 160 from affecting liquid crystal deflection, thereby reducing or preventing the occurrence of undesirable light leakage.
[0072] For example, Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the data line 131 corresponding to the first electromagnetic trace 170 and the first strip common electrode column 161C is data line 1310, and the data line 131 corresponding to the second strip common electrode column 162C is data line 1311. Data line 1310 and data line 1311 are different data lines 131. The distinction between different data lines is only used to describe whether a data line is adjacent to the first strip common electrode column and does not limit the function and role of the data line itself.
[0073] In some examples, such as Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, for the corresponding data lines 131 and second strip-shaped common electrode columns 162C, within the region sandwiched by straight lines L3 and L4, which pass through the two ends of each second strip-shaped common electrode 162 and extend along the first direction X, the orthographic projection of the data lines 131 on the base substrate 110 falls within the orthographic projection of the second strip-shaped common electrodes 162 on the base substrate 110. This reduces or prevents the electric field generated by the potential difference between the data lines 131 and the common electrode layer 160 from affecting liquid crystal deflection, thereby reducing or preventing the occurrence of undesirable light leakage.
[0074] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the size of the second strip common electrode column 162C in the second direction Y is greater than or equal to the size of the adjacent sub-pixel opening 190 in the second direction Y. Thus, the undesirable light leakage caused by liquid crystal deflection can be better reduced or avoided.
[0075] In some examples, the plurality of second strip common electrodes 162 of the second strip common electrode column 162C may be spaced apart from each other or may be continuous in the second direction Y. For details, please refer to the present application. Figure 8 、 Figure 9 The description of the first strip common electrode column 161C is not repeated here.
[0076] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, at least one second strip common electrode column 162C is disposed between each adjacent first strip common electrode column 161C. Figure 5 As shown, two second strip common electrode columns 162C are disposed between each adjacent first strip common electrode column 161C. Of course, the disclosed embodiment does not limit the number of second strip common electrode columns 162C between each adjacent first common electrode column. It should be noted that "adjacent first strip common electrode columns 161C" means that there is no first strip common electrode column 161C between the two first strip common electrode columns 161C, but other structures may be disposed.
[0077] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the width of the second strip-shaped common electrode 162 in the first direction X is smaller than the width of the first strip-shaped common electrode 161 in the first direction X. Therefore, under the premise of shielding the first electromagnetic trace 170, the data line 1310, and the data line 1311, setting the width of the second strip-shaped common electrode 162 in the first direction X to be smaller than the width of the first strip-shaped common electrode 161 in the first direction X can also reduce the space occupied by the width of the second strip-shaped common electrode 162 in the first direction X, thereby facilitating the design and arrangement of other structures of the common electrode layer 160.
[0078] In some examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, multiple first electromagnetic traces 170 are located in the source / drain metal layer 130, and each of the multiple first electromagnetic traces 170 is disposed adjacent to one of the multiple data lines 131. The first electromagnetic traces 170 and the data lines 131 are disposed in the same layer and formed using the same conductive material layer and the same patterning process, which can reduce the number of manufacturing steps, reduce the thickness of the array substrate 100, and ease processing difficulty.
[0079] In some examples, such as Figure 5As shown, the adjacent first electromagnetic trace 170 and the data line 131 extend in substantially the same direction. The added first electromagnetic trace 170 affects the sub-pixel opening 190. By ensuring that the first electromagnetic trace 170 and the data line 131 extend in substantially the same direction, the effect of the first electromagnetic trace 170 on the sub-pixel opening 190 can be minimized, and the size occupied by the first electromagnetic trace 170 and the data line 131 in the first direction X can be minimized, thereby maximizing the size of the sub-pixel opening 190.
[0080] For example, Figure 5 As shown, the shapes of the first electromagnetic trace 170 and the data line 131 are substantially the same. Figure 5 As shown, the first electromagnetic traces 170 and the data lines 131 are substantially equally spaced. Figure 5 As shown, the data line 131 is at a position with a bending feature or a protruding feature, and the first electromagnetic trace 170 also has basically the same bending feature or protruding feature at the same position. The data line 131 is at a position with a straight extension, and the first electromagnetic trace 170 also has basically the same straight extension feature at the same position.
[0081] In some examples, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the gap Gap between the adjacent first electromagnetic traces 170 and the data lines 131 can be the minimum spacing that meets process requirements, thereby minimizing the impact of the first electromagnetic traces 170 on the pixel opening 190 and minimizing the size occupied by the first electromagnetic traces 170 and the data lines 131 in the first direction X, thereby maximizing the size of the pixel opening 190. Of course, the embodiments of the present disclosure do not impose specific restrictions on the minimum spacing that meets process requirements and the gap Gap between the first electromagnetic traces 170 and the data lines 131.
[0082] Figure 11 for Figure 5 The local structure diagram is shown in FIG. Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 11As shown, the array substrate 100 further includes a gate layer 120, a gate insulating layer 191, a first interlayer insulating layer 192, a first conductive layer 140, a second interlayer insulating layer 193, and a plurality of second electromagnetic traces 180. The gate layer 120 is located between the base substrate 110 and the source / drain metal layer 130, and includes a plurality of gate lines 121 extending along a first direction X and arranged along a second direction Y. The gate insulating layer 191 is located on a side of the gate layer 120 away from the base substrate 110, the first interlayer insulating layer 192 is located on a side of the source / drain metal layer 130 away from the base substrate 110, the first conductive layer 140 is located on a side of the first interlayer insulating layer 192 away from the base substrate 110, the second interlayer insulating layer 193 is located on a side of the first conductive layer 140 away from the base substrate 110, and the plurality of second electromagnetic traces 180 are located in the first conductive layer 140, extending along the first direction X and arranged along the second direction Y. Each second electromagnetic wiring 180 in the plurality of second electromagnetic wirings 180 is disposed corresponding to one of the plurality of gate lines 121 .
[0083] In some examples, such as Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown, each second electromagnetic trace 180 of the plurality of second electromagnetic traces 180 can correspond one-to-one with each gate line 121 of the plurality of gate lines 121, thereby increasing the number of second electromagnetic traces 180 and improving touch sensitivity. Of course, the disclosed embodiment does not limit the quantitative and positional correspondence between the second electromagnetic traces 180 and the gate lines 121. For example, a second electromagnetic trace 180 can be provided for every equal number of gate lines 121, or a second electromagnetic trace 180 can be provided for every different number of gate lines 121.
[0084] In some examples, such as Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, the orthographic projection of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the base substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line 121 on the base substrate 110. Of course, the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this.
[0085] For example, the orthographic projection of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the base substrate 110 may at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line 121 on the base substrate 110. The added second electromagnetic trace 180 affects the pixel opening 190. By making the second electromagnetic trace 180 at least partially overlap with the corresponding gate line 121, the impact of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the pixel opening 190 can be minimized, and the size occupied by the second electromagnetic trace 180 and the corresponding gate line 121 in the second direction Y can be minimized, thereby maximizing the size of the pixel opening 190.
[0086] In some examples, such as Figure 5As shown, the common electrode layer 160 also includes a plurality of common electrode patterns 163, and the plurality of common electrode patterns 163 are arranged in an array on the base substrate 110 to form a plurality of common electrode pattern rows 163R and a plurality of common electrode pattern columns 163C, and each common electrode pattern column 163C of the plurality of common electrode pattern columns 163C is located between adjacent second strip common electrode columns 162C or between adjacent first strip common electrode columns 161C and second strip common electrode columns 162C. It should be noted that in the present application, adjacent second strip common electrode columns 162C mean that there will be no second strip common electrode column 162C between the two second strip common electrode columns 162C, but other structures may be provided. Adjacent first strip common electrode columns 161C and second strip common electrode columns 162C mean that there will be no first strip common electrode column and second strip common electrode column 162C between the two, but other structures may be provided.
[0087] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the common electrode pattern 163 located between adjacent second strip common electrode columns 162C is connected to the adjacent second strip common electrode columns 162C. The common electrode pattern 163 located between adjacent first strip common electrode columns 161C and second strip common electrode columns 162C is connected to the adjacent first strip common electrode columns 161C and second strip common electrode columns 162C. Thus, the multiple first strip common electrodes 161, the multiple second strip common electrodes 162, and the multiple common electrode patterns 163 on the common electrode layer 160 are connected.
[0088] In some examples, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the common electrode pattern 163 includes a plurality of strip electrodes 1630 arranged along a first direction X and extending along a second direction Y. A slit 1631 is provided between two adjacent strip electrodes 1630. The orthographic projection of an end portion of at least one slit 1631 of each common electrode pattern 163 on the base substrate 110 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the base substrate 110.
[0089] In some examples, such as Figures 5 to 7 and Figure 11As shown, the array substrate 100 further includes a plurality of pixel electrodes 135, which are arranged in an array along a first direction X and a second direction Y, and are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of common electrode patterns 163. The source-drain metal layer 130 further includes a plurality of drain electrodes 132, which are arranged in an array along the first direction X and the second direction Y, and are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of pixel electrodes 135. The orthographic projection of the drain electrode 132 on the base substrate 110 overlaps with the orthographic projection of one of the plurality of gate lines 121 on the base substrate 110. The drain electrode 132 includes a connecting portion 132a, the orthographic projection of the connecting portion 132a on the base substrate 110 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the corresponding pixel electrode 135 on the base substrate 110 to connect to the pixel electrode 135. The connecting portion 132a of the drain electrode 132 overlapping the same gate line 121 and the second electromagnetic trace 180 disposed corresponding to the gate line 121 are respectively located on both sides of the center line of the gate line 121 along the second direction Y.
[0090] In some examples, such as Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, the array substrate 100 further includes an active layer 195 , which is located between the gate insulating layer 191 and the source-drain metal layer 130 .
[0091] In this example, the drain electrode 132, the gate line 121 (or the gate 121a, the gate 121a and the gate line 121 are integrally formed) overlapping the drain electrode 132, the data line 131 (or the source electrode 131c, the source electrode 131c and the data line 131 are integrally formed) overlapping the gate line 121, and the active layer 195 overlapping both the data line 131 and the drain electrode 132 can form a driving transistor TFT. The driving transistor is connected to the corresponding pixel electrode 135 via the connecting portion 132a of the drain electrode 132, thereby achieving liquid crystal deflection drive. The second electromagnetic trace 180 and the connecting portion 132a of the drain electrode 132 are respectively arranged on both sides of the center line of the gate line 121, which can prevent the second electromagnetic trace 180 from affecting the driving transistor and can also better design and arrange the structures of the driving transistor and the second electromagnetic trace 180.
[0092] In some examples, such as Figures 5 to 7 、 Figure 11 As shown, the gate layer 120 further includes a plurality of common electrode lines 122 extending along the first direction X and arranged along the second direction Y. Each of the plurality of common electrode lines 122 is disposed adjacent to one of the plurality of gate lines 121. By adding the common electrode lines 122, the resistance of the common electrode layer 160 of the array substrate 100 can be reduced. For example, the common electrode lines 122 can be connected to the common electrode layer 160 through vias.
[0093] For example, Figure 5As shown, each common electrode line 122 of the plurality of common electrode lines 122 is disposed in one-to-one correspondence with each gate line 121 of the plurality of gate lines 121. Thus, the resistance of the common electrode layer 160 of the array substrate 100 can be better reduced.
[0094] In some examples, such as Figures 5 to 7 、 Figure 11 As shown, the adjacent common electrode lines 122 and gate lines 121 extend in substantially the same direction. The added common electrode lines 122 affect the sub-pixel openings 190. By ensuring that the common electrode lines 122 and gate lines 121 extend in substantially the same direction, the impact of the common electrode lines 122 on the sub-pixel openings 190 can be minimized, and the dimensions occupied by the common electrode lines 122 and gate lines 121 in the first direction X can be minimized, thereby maximizing the dimensions of the sub-pixel openings 190.
[0095] For example, the shapes of the common electrode line 122 and the gate line 121 may be substantially the same. Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, the common electrode lines 122 and the gate lines 121 are substantially equidistant from each other. For example, where the gate lines 121 are at positions with bending features or protruding features, the common electrode lines 122 at the same positions also have substantially the same bending features or protruding features. Where the gate lines 121 are at positions with straight extensions, the common electrode lines 122 at the same positions also have substantially the same straight extension features.
[0096] In some examples, such as Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, the spacing between adjacent common electrode lines 122 and gate lines 121 can be the minimum spacing that meets process requirements, thereby minimizing the impact of the common electrode lines 122 on the sub-pixel openings 190, minimizing the size occupied by the common electrode lines 122 and the gate lines 121 in the first direction X, and maximizing the size of the sub-pixel openings 190. Of course, the embodiments of the present disclosure do not impose specific restrictions on the minimum spacing that meets process requirements and the spacing size between the common electrode lines 122 and the gate lines 121.
[0097] In some examples, such as Figure 5 and Figure 11As shown, each of the plurality of second electromagnetic traces 180 is disposed corresponding to one of the plurality of common electrode lines 122. The second electromagnetic trace 180 and the corresponding common electrode line 122 extend in the same direction. The ratio of the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the base substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the common electrode line 122 on the base substrate 110 to the orthographic projection area of the common electrode line 122 on the base substrate 110 is greater than or equal to 80%. Thus, the second electromagnetic trace 180 can overlap with the common electrode line 122 as much as possible, minimizing the impact of the second electromagnetic trace 180 and the common electrode line 122 on the sub-pixel opening 190, thereby maximizing the size of the sub-pixel opening 190.
[0098] For example, Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, the extension direction of the second electromagnetic trace 180 and the corresponding common electrode line 122 can be substantially consistent. Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, the second electromagnetic trace 180 and the common electrode line 122 have substantially identical shapes. For example, where the common electrode is bent, the second electromagnetic trace 180 also has substantially identical bending characteristics at the same location. Where the common electrode is straight, the second electromagnetic trace 180 also has substantially identical straight extension characteristics at the same location. For example, the orthographic projection of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the base substrate 110 can completely fall within the orthographic projection of the common electrode line 122 on the base substrate 110.
[0099] In some examples, such as Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, each second electromagnetic trace 180 of the plurality of second electromagnetic traces 180 can correspond one-to-one with each common electrode line 122 of the plurality of common electrode lines 122. Of course, the disclosed embodiment does not limit the number or position correspondence between the second electromagnetic traces 180 and the common electrode lines 122. For example, a second electromagnetic trace 180 can be provided for every equal number of common electrode lines 122, or a second electromagnetic trace 180 can be provided for every different number of common electrode lines 122.
[0100] In some examples, such as Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, the line width of the second electromagnetic trace 180 is smaller than the line width of the common electrode line 122 , so that the second electromagnetic trace 180 and the common electrode line 122 can be overlapped as much as possible.
[0101] In some examples, such as Figure 11As shown, the orthographic projection of the common electrode line 122 on the base substrate 110 includes a first boundary segment L5 that is farthest from the center line of the gate line 121 adjacent to the common electrode line 122. The orthographic projection of the second electromagnetic trace 180 corresponding to the gate line 121 on the base substrate 110 includes a second boundary segment L6 that is farthest from the center line of the gate line 121. The distance between the first boundary segment L5 and the center line of the gate line 121 is greater than or equal to the distance between the second boundary segment L6 and the center line of the gate line 121. Thus, the farthest boundary segment of the second electromagnetic trace 180 is closer to the gate line 121 than the farthest boundary segment of the common electrode line 122, thereby reducing the impact of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the sub-pixel opening 190 and maximizing the size of the sub-pixel opening 190.
[0102] In some examples, the orthographic projection of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the base substrate 110 is closer to the orthographic projection of the gate line 121 on the base substrate 110 than the orthographic projection of the common electrode line 122 on the base substrate 110. The second electromagnetic trace 180 and the gate line 121 are located on different layers, so that the orthographic projection of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the base substrate 110 can be closer to the orthographic projection of the gate line 121 on the base substrate 110, thereby reducing the impact of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the sub-pixel opening 190 and maximizing the size of the sub-pixel opening 190.
[0103] In some examples, such as Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, the connection portion 132a of the drain electrode 132 overlapping the same gate line 121 and the common electrode line 122 corresponding to the gate line 121 are respectively located on both sides of the center line of the gate line 121 along the second direction Y. Thus, the common electrode line 1220 can be prevented from affecting the driving transistor, and the structures of the driving transistor and the common electrode line 122 can be better designed and arranged.
[0104] In some examples, such as Figure 5 and Figure 11As shown, the gate line 121 includes a plurality of protrusions 1210, which protrude toward the corresponding common electrode line 122. The common electrode line 122 includes a plurality of bending portions 1221, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the protrusion 1210 and bend away from the protrusion 1210. The common electrode line 122 also includes a plurality of transverse connecting portions 1222, and two adjacent bending portions 1221 are connected by the transverse connecting portion 1222. The plurality of bending portions 1221 include a plurality of first bending portions 1221a and a plurality of second bending portions 1221b. In a plane parallel to the base substrate 110, the first strip common electrode column 161C passes through the first bending portion 1221a, and the second strip common electrode column 162C passes through the second bending portion 1221b. The size of the first bending portion 1221a in the first direction X is larger than the size of the second bending portion 1221b in the first direction X. The common electrode line 122 is bent only at the protruding portion 1210 of the gate line 121, thereby minimizing the impact on the sub-pixel opening 190. The dimension of the first bent portion 1221a in the first direction X is greater than the dimension of the second bent portion 1221b in the first direction X, which can ensure that the dimensions of each sub-pixel opening 190 are substantially consistent. It should be noted that in this application, two adjacent bent portions 1221 mean that there is no bent portion 1221 between the two bent portions 1221, but other structures may be present, such as a transverse connecting portion 1222.
[0105] In some examples, such as Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, the first strip common electrode column 161C has a gap at a position corresponding to the active layer 195. The gap can be referred to Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the first strip common electrode column 161C is not completely continuous in the second direction. The second strip common electrode column 162C has a gap at the position corresponding to the active layer 195. The gap can be referred to as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the first strip-shaped common electrode column 161C is not completely continuous in the second direction.
[0106] Figure 12 for Figure 5 A simulation diagram of liquid crystal deflection along a cross-section perpendicular to the direction of the first electromagnetic wiring. Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 12 As shown, the top of the first electromagnetic trace 170 is covered by the first strip common electrode 161, and the first electromagnetic trace 170 is shielded by the first strip common electrode 161. When a voltage signal is applied to the first electromagnetic trace 170 and the voltage signal is different from the voltage signal of the first strip common electrode 161, the liquid crystal is basically not deflected, thereby reducing or avoiding the occurrence of unwanted light leakage.
[0107] In some examples, such as Figures 5 to 7 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 As shown, the manufacturing method of the array substrate 100 includes: forming a patterned gate layer 120 on a base substrate 110; depositing a gate insulating layer 191 on the gate layer 120; forming a patterned active layer 195 on the gate insulating layer 191; forming a patterned pixel electrode 135 on the active layer 195; forming a patterned source-drain metal layer 130 on the active layer 195, wherein the source-drain metal layer 130 overlaps with the pixel electrode 135 at the connection portion 132a of the drain electrode 132; 130 and the pixel electrode 135; a patterned first conductive layer 140 is formed on the first interlayer insulating layer 192, and the first conductive layer 140 includes a second electromagnetic trace 180; a patterned second interlayer insulating layer 193 is formed on the first conductive layer 140; a patterned common electrode layer 160 is formed on the second interlayer insulating layer 193, and the common electrode layer 160 includes a first strip-shaped common electrode 161, a second strip-shaped common electrode 162 and a common electrode pattern 163.
[0108] In some examples, such as Figures 5 to 7 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 As shown, the pixel electrode 135 may be a transparent conductive metal. For example, the common electrode layer 160 may be a transparent conductive metal layer. For example, the transparent conductive metal may be indium tin oxide or the like.

Figures 13 to 15As shown, the array substrate 100 includes a base substrate 110, a gate layer 120, a gate insulating layer 191, a source-drain metal layer 130, a first interlayer insulating layer 192, a second conductive layer 150, a third interlayer insulating layer 194, a common electrode layer 160 and a plurality of first electromagnetic traces 170. The gate layer 120 is located between the base substrate 110 and the source / drain metal layer 130 and includes a plurality of gate lines 121 extending along a first direction X and arranged along a second direction Y. The gate insulating layer 191 is located on a side of the gate layer 120 away from the base substrate 110. The source / drain metal layer 130 is located on the base substrate 110 and includes a plurality of data lines 131 arranged along the first direction X and extending along the second direction Y. The first interlayer insulating layer 192 is located on a side of the source / drain metal layer 130 away from the base substrate 110. The second conductive layer 150 is located on a side of the first interlayer insulating layer 192 away from the base substrate 110. The third interlayer insulating layer 194 is located on a side of the second conductive layer 150 away from the base substrate 110. The common electrode layer 160 is located on a side of the third interlayer insulating layer 194 away from the base substrate 110 and includes a plurality of first strip-shaped common electrodes 161 extending along the second direction Y. The plurality of first strip-shaped common electrodes 161 are arranged in an array on the base substrate 110. The plurality of first strip common electrode columns 161C are arranged to form a plurality of first strip common electrode columns 161C, each of the plurality of first strip common electrode columns 161C extending along the second direction Y. The plurality of first electromagnetic traces 170 are arranged along the first direction X and extend along the second direction Y, and are located on the second conductive layer 150. Each of the plurality of first electromagnetic traces 170 is disposed corresponding to one of the plurality of data lines 131, and the plurality of first electromagnetic traces 170 are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first strip common electrode columns 161C. For the corresponding data lines 131, first strip common electrode columns 161C, and first electromagnetic traces 170, within a region sandwiched by a straight line L1 and a straight line L2 passing through two ends of each first strip common electrode 161 and extending along the first direction X, the orthographic projections of the first electromagnetic traces 170 and the data lines 131 on the base substrate 110 fall within the orthographic projections of the first strip common electrodes 161 on the base substrate 110.
[0110] In the array substrate 100 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first electromagnetic traces 170 are covered by the first common electrode strips 161 within the region bounded by the straight lines L1 and L2, which pass through the two ends of each first common electrode strip 161 and extend along the first direction X. The first common electrode strips 161 can shield the first electromagnetic traces 170, thereby reducing or preventing the electric field generated by the potential difference between the first electromagnetic traces 170 and the common electrode layer 160 from affecting liquid crystal deflection, thereby reducing or preventing the occurrence of undesirable light leakage. Furthermore, the first common electrode strips 161 can also shield the data lines 131, thereby reducing or preventing the electric field generated by the potential difference between the data lines 131 and the common electrode layer 160 from affecting liquid crystal deflection, thereby reducing or preventing the occurrence of undesirable light leakage.
[0111] In some examples, such as Figure 13 As shown, a plurality of gate lines 121 and a plurality of data lines 131 define a plurality of sub-pixel openings 190 .
[0112] In some examples, such as Figure 13 As shown, the size of the first strip-shaped common electrode 161 in the second direction Y is greater than or equal to the size of the adjacent sub-pixel opening 190 in the second direction Y. Thus, the occurrence of undesirable light leakage can be better reduced or avoided.
[0113] In some examples, the plurality of first strip common electrodes 161 of the first strip common electrode column 161C may be spaced apart from each other or may be continuous in the second direction Y. For details, please refer to the present application. Figure 8 、 Figure 9 The description of the first strip common electrode column 161C is not repeated here.
[0114] In some examples, each first electromagnetic trace 170 of the plurality of first electromagnetic traces 170 can correspond one-to-one with each data line 131 of the plurality of data lines 131, thereby increasing the number of first electromagnetic traces 170 and improving touch sensitivity. Of course, the disclosed embodiments do not limit the quantitative or positional correspondence between the first electromagnetic traces 170 and the data lines 131. For example, a first electromagnetic trace 170 can be provided for every equal number of data lines 131, or a first electromagnetic trace 170 can be provided for every different number of data lines 131.
[0115] In some examples, such as Figure 15As shown, in a direction perpendicular to the base substrate 110, the corresponding first electromagnetic traces 170 and the data lines 131 are at least partially overlapped. Thus, the effect of the addition of the second electromagnetic traces 180 on the sub-pixel opening 190 can be minimized, and the size occupied by the first electromagnetic traces 170 and the data lines 131 in the first direction X can be minimized, thereby maximizing the size of the sub-pixel opening 190. For example, Figure 15 As shown, the orthographic projection of the data line 131 on the base substrate 110 can completely fall within the orthographic projection of the first electromagnetic trace 170 on the base substrate 110. Figure 13 As shown, the corresponding first electromagnetic trace 170 and the data line 131 extend in substantially the same direction. Figure 13 As shown, the shapes of the corresponding first electromagnetic trace 170 and the data line 131 are substantially the same. For example, the orthographic projection of the first electromagnetic trace 170 on the base substrate 110 may also completely fall within the orthographic projection of the data line 131 on the base substrate 110 .
[0116] Figure 16 for Figure 13 Schematic diagram of the cross-section structure along the cutting line GH. Figure 13 、 Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, the common electrode layer 160 also includes a plurality of second strip-shaped common electrodes 162 extending along a second direction Y. The plurality of second strip-shaped common electrodes 162 are arranged in an array on the base substrate 110 to form a plurality of second strip-shaped common electrode columns 162C. Each second strip-shaped common electrode 162 in the plurality of second strip-shaped common electrode columns 162C is at least partially overlapped with one of the plurality of data lines 131. The data lines 131 at least partially overlapped with the second strip-shaped common electrode columns 162C and the data lines 131 corresponding to the first electromagnetic traces 170 are different data lines 131. The distinction between different data lines is merely used to describe whether a data line is corresponding to a first strip-shaped common electrode column and does not limit the function or role of the data line itself. The second strip-shaped common electrodes 162 can shield the corresponding data line 131, thereby reducing or preventing the electric field generated by the potential difference between the data line 131 and the common electrode layer 160 from affecting liquid crystal deflection, thereby reducing or preventing undesirable light leakage.
[0117] For example, Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, the data line 131 corresponding to the first electromagnetic trace 170 and the first strip common electrode column 161C is a data line 1310 , and the data line 131 corresponding to the second strip common electrode column 162C is a data line 1311 . The data line 1310 and the data line 1311 are different data lines 131 .
[0118] In some examples, such as Figure 13 、 Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, for the corresponding data lines 131 and second strip-shaped common electrode columns 162C, within the region sandwiched by straight lines L3 and L4, which pass through the two ends of each second strip-shaped common electrode 162 and extend along the first direction X, the orthographic projection of the data lines 131 on the base substrate 110 falls within the orthographic projection of the second strip-shaped common electrodes 162 on the base substrate 110. This reduces or prevents the electric field generated by the potential difference between the data lines 131 and the common electrode layer 160 from affecting liquid crystal deflection, thereby reducing or preventing the occurrence of undesirable light leakage.
[0119] In some examples, such as Figure 13 As shown, the size of the second strip-shaped common electrode column 162C in the second direction Y is greater than or equal to the size of the adjacent sub-pixel opening 190 in the second direction Y. Thus, the occurrence of undesirable light leakage can be better reduced or avoided.
[0120] In some examples, the plurality of second strip common electrodes 162 of the second strip common electrode column 162C may be spaced apart from each other or may be continuous in the second direction Y. For details, please refer to the present application. Figure 8 、 Figure 9 The description of the first strip common electrode column 161C is not repeated here.
[0121] In some examples, such as Figure 13 As shown, at least one second strip common electrode column 162C is disposed between each adjacent first strip common electrode column 161C. Figure 13 As shown, two second strip common electrode columns 162C are disposed between each adjacent first strip common electrode column 161C. Of course, the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the number of second strip common electrode columns 162C between each adjacent first common electrode column.
[0122] In some examples, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the width of the second strip-shaped common electrode 162 in the first direction X is equal to the width of the first strip-shaped common electrode 161 in the first direction X. Of course, the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the width of the second strip-shaped common electrode 162 in the first direction X may also be smaller than the width of the first strip-shaped common electrode 161 in the first direction X. Specifically, the width can be designed based on the width of the first electromagnetic trace 170 and the overlapping relationship between the first electromagnetic trace 170 and the data line 131.
[0123] In some examples, such as Figures 13 to 16As shown, the base substrate 110 further includes a first conductive layer 140, a second interlayer insulating layer 193, and a plurality of second electromagnetic traces 180. The first conductive layer 140 is located on a side of the gate insulating layer 191 away from the base substrate 110, and the second interlayer insulating layer 193 is located on a side of the first conductive layer 140 away from the base substrate 110. The plurality of second electromagnetic traces 180 are located in the first conductive layer 140, extending along a first direction X and arranged along a second direction Y. Each second electromagnetic trace 180 is disposed corresponding to one of the plurality of gate lines 121.
[0124] In some examples, such as Figure 13 As shown, each second electromagnetic trace 180 of the plurality of second electromagnetic traces 180 can correspond one-to-one with each gate line 121 of the plurality of gate lines 121, thereby increasing the number of second electromagnetic traces 180 and improving touch sensitivity. Of course, the disclosed embodiment does not limit the quantitative and positional correspondence between the second electromagnetic traces 180 and the gate lines 121. For example, a second electromagnetic trace 180 can be provided for every equal number of gate lines 121, or a second electromagnetic trace 180 can be provided for every different number of gate lines 121.
[0125] In some examples, such as Figure 13 As shown, the orthographic projection of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the base substrate 110 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line 121 on the base substrate 110. Of course, the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this.
[0126] For example, the orthographic projection of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the base substrate 110 may at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the corresponding gate line 121 on the base substrate 110. The added second electromagnetic trace 180 affects the sub-pixel opening 190. By making the second electromagnetic trace 180 at least partially overlap with the corresponding gate line 121, the impact of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the sub-pixel opening 190 can be minimized, and the size occupied by the second electromagnetic trace 180 and the corresponding gate line 121 in the second direction Y can be minimized, thereby maximizing the size of the sub-pixel opening 190.
[0127] In some examples, such as Figure 13 As shown, the common electrode layer 160 also includes a plurality of common electrode patterns 163, which are arranged in an array on the base substrate 110 to form a plurality of common electrode pattern rows 163R and a plurality of common electrode pattern columns 163C, and each common electrode pattern column 163C of the plurality of common electrode pattern columns 163C is located between adjacent second strip common electrode columns 162C or between adjacent first strip common electrode columns 161C and second strip common electrode columns 162C.
[0128] In some examples, such as Figure 13 As shown, the common electrode pattern 163 located between adjacent second strip common electrode columns 162C is connected to the adjacent second strip common electrode columns 162C. The common electrode pattern 163 located between adjacent first strip common electrode columns 161C and second strip common electrode columns 162C is connected to the adjacent first strip common electrode columns 161C and second strip common electrode columns 162C. Thus, the multiple first strip common electrodes 161, the multiple second strip common electrodes 162, and the multiple common electrode patterns 163 on the common electrode layer 160 are connected.
[0129] In some examples, such as Figures 13 to 16 As shown, the common electrode pattern 163 includes a plurality of strip electrodes 1630 arranged along a first direction X and extending along a second direction Y. A slit 1631 is provided between two adjacent strip electrodes 1630. The orthographic projection of an end portion of at least one slit 1631 of each common electrode pattern 163 on the base substrate 110 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the base substrate 110.
[0130] Figure 17 for Figure 13 Schematic diagram of the cross-section structure along the cutting line IJ. Figures 13 to 17 As shown, the array substrate 100 further includes a plurality of pixel electrodes 135, which are arranged in an array along a first direction X and a second direction Y, and are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of common electrode patterns 163. The source-drain metal layer 130 further includes a plurality of drain electrodes 132, which are arranged in an array along the first direction X and the second direction Y, and are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of pixel electrodes 135. The orthographic projection of the drain electrode 132 on the base substrate 110 overlaps with the orthographic projection of one of the plurality of gate lines 121 on the base substrate 110. The drain electrode 132 includes a connecting portion 132a, the orthographic projection of the connecting portion 132a on the base substrate 110 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the corresponding pixel electrode 135 on the base substrate 110 to connect to the pixel electrode 135. The connecting portion 132a of the drain electrode 132 overlapping the same gate line 121 and the second electromagnetic trace 180 disposed corresponding to the gate line 121 are respectively located on both sides of the center line of the gate line 121 along the second direction Y.
[0131] In this example, the drain electrode 132, the gate line 121 overlapping with the drain electrode 132, the data line 131 overlapping with the gate line 121, and the active layer can form a driving transistor. The driving transistor is connected to the corresponding pixel electrode 135 via the connecting portion 132a of the drain electrode 132, thereby achieving liquid crystal deflection. Disposing the second electromagnetic trace 180 and the connecting portion 132a of the drain electrode 132 on either side of the center line of the gate line 121 can prevent the second electromagnetic trace 180 from affecting the driving transistor and can also better design and arrange the structures of the driving transistor and the second electromagnetic trace 180.
[0132] In some examples, such as Figure 17 As shown, the pixel electrode 135 is arranged on the second interlayer insulating layer 193, and an insulating layer is arranged between the pixel electrode 135 and the source / drain metal layer 130. The pixel electrode 135 and the source / drain metal layer 130 can be connected at the position where connection is required by using an insulating layer via 196.
[0133] In some examples, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the pixel electrode 135 is a plate-shaped structure. Of course, the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the structure of the pixel electrode 135.
[0134] In some examples, such as Figures 13 to 17 As shown, the gate layer 120 further includes a plurality of common electrode lines 122 extending along the first direction X and arranged along the second direction Y. Each of the plurality of common electrode lines 122 is disposed adjacent to one of the plurality of gate lines 121. By adding the common electrode lines 122, the resistance of the common electrode layer 160 of the array substrate 100 can be reduced. For example, the common electrode lines 122 can be connected to the common electrode layer 160 through vias.
[0135] For example, Figure 13 As shown, each common electrode line 122 of the plurality of common electrode lines 122 is disposed in one-to-one correspondence with each gate line 121 of the plurality of gate lines 121. Thus, the resistance of the common electrode layer 160 of the array substrate 100 can be better reduced.
[0136] In some examples, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the common electrode lines 122 and gate lines 121 disposed adjacent to each other are substantially equidistant. For example, the spacing between the common electrode lines 122 and gate lines 121 disposed adjacent to each other can be the minimum spacing that meets the process requirements. For example, when the gate line 121 is at a position with a bending feature or a protruding feature, the common electrode line 122 also has a substantially identical bending feature or protruding feature at the same position; when the gate line 121 is at a position with a straight extension, the common electrode line 122 also has a substantially identical straight extension feature at the same position. The added common electrode line 122 has an impact on the sub-pixel opening 190. By making the common electrode lines 122 and gate lines 121 substantially equidistant, the spacing is the minimum spacing that meets the process requirements, thereby minimizing the impact of the common electrode lines 122 on the sub-pixel opening 190, minimizing the size occupied by the common electrode lines 122 and gate lines 121 in the first direction X, and increasing the size of the sub-pixel opening 190 as much as possible. Of course, the embodiment of the present disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on the minimum spacing that meets the process requirements and the spacing between the common electrode line 122 and the gate line 121 .
[0137] In some examples, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, each of the plurality of second electromagnetic traces 180 is disposed corresponding to one of the plurality of common electrode lines 122. The second electromagnetic trace 180 and the corresponding common electrode line 122 extend in the same direction. The ratio of the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the base substrate 110 and the orthographic projection of the common electrode line 122 on the base substrate 110 to the orthographic projection area of the common electrode line 122 on the base substrate 110 is greater than or equal to 80%. Thus, the second electromagnetic trace 180 can overlap with the common electrode line 122 as much as possible, minimizing the impact of the second electromagnetic trace 180 and the common electrode line 122 on the sub-pixel opening 190, thereby maximizing the size of the sub-pixel opening 190.
[0138] In some examples, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the extension direction of the second electromagnetic trace 180 and the corresponding common electrode line 122 can be substantially consistent. Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, the second electromagnetic trace 180 and the common electrode line 122 have substantially identical shapes. For example, where the common electrode is bent, the second electromagnetic trace 180 also has substantially identical bending characteristics at the same location. Where the common electrode is straight, the second electromagnetic trace 180 also has substantially identical straight extension characteristics at the same location. For example, the orthographic projection of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the base substrate 110 can completely fall within the orthographic projection of the common electrode line 122 on the base substrate 110.
[0139] In some examples, each second electromagnetic trace 180 of the plurality of second electromagnetic traces 180 may correspond one-to-one with each common electrode line 122 of the plurality of common electrode lines 122. Of course, the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the number or position correspondence between the second electromagnetic traces 180 and the common electrode lines 122. For example, a second electromagnetic trace 180 may be provided for every equal number of common electrode lines 122, or a second electromagnetic trace 180 may be provided for every different number of common electrode lines 122.
[0140] In some examples, such as Figures 13 to 17 As shown, the manufacturing method of the array substrate 100 includes: forming a patterned gate layer 120 on a base substrate 110; depositing a gate insulating layer 191 on the gate layer 120; forming a patterned active layer on the gate insulating layer 191; forming a patterned source-drain metal layer 130 on the active layer 195; forming a patterned first interlayer insulating layer 192 on the source-drain metal layer 130; forming a patterned first conductive layer 140 on the first interlayer insulating layer 192, the first conductive layer 140 including a second electromagnetic trace 180; and forming a patterned second interlayer insulating layer 193 on the first conductive layer 140. A patterned pixel electrode 135 is formed on the second interlayer insulating layer 193, and the pixel electrode 135 is connected to the source-drain metal layer 130 through a via 196; a patterned second conductive layer 150 is formed on the second interlayer insulating layer 193, and the second conductive layer 150 includes a first electromagnetic trace 170; a patterned third interlayer insulating layer 194 is formed on the second conductive layer 150 and the pixel electrode 135; a patterned common electrode layer 160 is formed on the third interlayer insulating layer 194, and the common electrode layer 160 includes a first strip-shaped common electrode 161, a second strip-shaped common electrode 162 and a common electrode pattern 163.
[0141] In some examples, the two ends of the first electromagnetic trace 170 can form a coil loop with the common electrode, and the two ends of the second electromagnetic trace 180 can form a coil loop with the common electrode. Multiple first electromagnetic traces 170 and multiple second electromagnetic traces 180 form a plurality of coil loop arrays. The coil loop array can receive signals, for example, and can calculate the position of the electromagnetic pen based on changes in magnetic flux, thereby realizing electromagnetic touch function. Of course, the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the structural design of electromagnetic touch.
[0142] An embodiment of the present disclosure further provides an electromagnetic touch display device. Figure 18 Schematic diagram of an electromagnetic touch display device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 18As shown, the electromagnetic touch display device 200 includes any of the above array substrates 100. Therefore, the electromagnetic touch display device 200 has the beneficial technical effects corresponding to those of the above array substrate 100, which will not be described in detail here.
[0143] Figure 19 This is a schematic diagram of another electromagnetic touch display device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 19 As shown, the electromagnetic touch display device 200 includes any of the above array substrates 100, an opposing substrate 210 arranged in a box with the array substrate 100, and a liquid crystal layer 220 arranged between the array substrate 100 and the opposing substrate 210. Figure 5 The array substrate 100 shown is taken as an example, but is not limited thereto.
[0144] In some examples, such as Figure 19 As shown, the counter substrate 210 includes a black matrix layer 211, and the orthographic projections of the first electromagnetic trace 170 and the data line 131 on the base substrate 110 are located within the orthographic projection of the black matrix layer 201 on the base substrate 110. Through the structural design of the base substrate 110, when solving the problem of undesirable light leakage, it is not necessary to increase the size of the black matrix layer 211, thereby avoiding the impact on the sub-pixel opening. In addition, by matching the first electromagnetic trace 170 with the adjacent data line 131, and matching the second electromagnetic trace 180 with the adjacent gate line 121 and common electrode line 122, the impact of the addition of the first electromagnetic trace 170 and the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the sub-pixel opening can be minimized, and the increase in the size of the black matrix layer 211 can be minimized.
[0145] In some examples, a plurality of common electrode patterns arranged in an array may also be located on the counter substrate 210 .
[0146] For example, the electromagnetic touch display device may be a television, a computer, a navigation system, a car computer, an electronic picture frame, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, or other electronic product with an electromagnetic touch display function.
[0147] An embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a driving method for an electromagnetic touch display device. Figure 20 This is a flow chart of a driving method for an electromagnetic touch display device provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. The electromagnetic touch display device includes an array substrate and an opposing substrate arranged opposite to each other, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the array substrate and the opposing substrate. The array substrate includes a plurality of first electromagnetic traces and a common electrode layer. The first electromagnetic traces are arranged along a first direction and extend along a second direction intersecting the first direction. Figure 20 As shown, the driving method includes:
[0148] S100: providing a common voltage to the common electrode layer;
[0149] S200: Providing a touch voltage to the multiple first electromagnetic traces; the difference between the touch voltage and the common voltage is less than the threshold voltage for the rotation of the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer. Therefore, the electric field generated by the potential difference between the first electromagnetic traces and the common electrode layer will not affect the deflection of the liquid crystal, thus avoiding the occurrence of unwanted light leakage. It should be noted that the two steps of the driving method can be performed simultaneously or in a time-sharing manner, and there is no order between the two steps. For example, the common voltage can be provided to the common electrode layer first, and then the touch voltage can be provided to the multiple first electromagnetic traces, or vice versa. For example, while providing the common voltage to the common electrode layer, the touch voltage can be provided to the multiple first electromagnetic traces.
[0150] For example, when the brightness change of the display area of the electromagnetic touch display device reaches a set value for the maximum change, the effective value of the applied driving voltage is defined as the threshold voltage. For example, this set value can be 10% or 15%. Of course, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this, and other acceptable values can also be designed based on the size and performance requirements of the electromagnetic touch display device.
[0151] For example, the difference between the touch voltage and the common voltage is less than or equal to 0.5 V. Of course, the embodiment of the present disclosure does not impose any specific limitation on the value range of the threshold voltage, which can be set according to the size and performance requirements of the specific electromagnetic touch display device.
[0152] In some examples, the array substrate further includes a plurality of second electromagnetic traces arranged along a second direction and extending along the first direction. The driving method further includes providing a touch voltage to the plurality of second electromagnetic traces. Thus, the difference between the touch voltage and the common voltage is less than a threshold voltage for liquid crystal molecule rotation, and the electric field generated by the potential difference between the second electromagnetic traces and the common electrode layer does not affect liquid crystal deflection, thereby preventing undesirable light leakage.
[0153] In some examples, the touch voltage supplied to the first and second electromagnetic traces can be equal to the common voltage of the common electrode layer, and the first and second electromagnetic traces and the common electrode layer share a common signal. Consequently, there is no potential difference between the first and second electromagnetic traces and the common electrode layer, preventing undesirable light leakage.
[0154] Figure 21 A structural schematic diagram of another array substrate is provided for one embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 22 for Figure 21 Schematic diagram of the cross-section structure along the cutting line KL. Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the array substrate 100 and Figure 5The difference between the illustrated array substrates is that the first strip-shaped common electrodes 161 in the common electrode layer 160 have openings 197, and at least a portion of the orthographic projection of the first electromagnetic trace 170 on the base substrate 110 is located within the orthographic projection of the opening 197 on the plane of the array substrate 100. Therefore, without changing the structural design and opening design of the common electrode layer 160, the undesirable light leakage problem can be solved by ensuring that the difference between the touch voltage and the common voltage is less than the threshold voltage for liquid crystal molecule rotation.
[0155] Figure 23 for Figure 21 Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the cutting line MN; Figure 24 for Figure 21 A simulation diagram of liquid crystal deflection along a cross-section perpendicular to the direction of the second electromagnetic wiring. Figure 21 、 Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown, the array substrate 100 further includes a plurality of second electromagnetic traces 180 and a plurality of common electrode patterns 163. The plurality of common electrode patterns 163 are located on the common electrode layer 160. The plurality of second electromagnetic traces 180 are arranged along the second direction Y and extend along the first direction X. The plurality of common electrode patterns 163 are arranged in an array on the plane of the array substrate 100. The common electrode patterns 163 include a plurality of strip electrodes 1630 arranged along the first direction X and extending along the second direction Y. A slit 1631 is defined between two adjacent strip electrodes 1630. The orthographic projection of at least one slit 1631 on the plane of the array substrate 100 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second electromagnetic trace 180 on the base substrate 110. A touch voltage is provided to the plurality of second electromagnetic traces 180, such that the difference between the touch voltage and the common voltage is less than the threshold voltage for liquid crystal molecule rotation. The electric field generated by the potential difference between the second electromagnetic traces 180 and the common electrode layer 160 does not affect liquid crystal deflection, thereby preventing undesirable light leakage.
[0156] For example, Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown, the voltage signal applied to the second electromagnetic trace 180 is the same as the voltage signal of the common electrode layer 160. At this time, there is no potential difference between the second electromagnetic trace 180 and the common electrode layer 160, and the liquid crystal is basically not deflected. Therefore, there will be no unwanted light leakage when the screen is displaying.
