[0043] In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in the present invention are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0044] The present invention provides a display panel, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a functional module diagram of an embodiment of a display panel of the present invention. In this embodiment, the display panel includes a thin film transistor layer 100, a common electrode layer 200, and an in-plane common electrode signal line COM1; the first side of the thin film transistor layer 100 connects the common electrode layer 200 to the in-plane common electrode signal line COM1 through a common electrode terminal 120; the second side of the thin film transistor layer 100 is provided with an electrode opening 110 and a conductive layer structure, wherein the second side is arranged opposite to the first side; the electrode opening 110 is filled with a conductor, and the conductor is respectively connected to the conductive layer structure and the common electrode layer 200; the conductive layer structure is also connected to the in-plane common electrode signal line COM1.

[0045] First, see Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a TFT layer in the prior art; in the prior art, one side of the TFT layer, i.e. Figure 2 The lower side of the example is provided with a signal transmission device such as COF or FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit); the common electrode signal line in the plane is connected to one end of the COF through the common electrode terminal D provided on the lower side of the TFT layer, and the other end of the COF is connected to the common electrode signal line outside the plane, thereby realizing the transmission of the common electrode signal outside the plane to the common electrode signal line in the plane; it can be understood that since only the common electrode terminal D located on the lower side of the TFT layer is used as the input of the common electrode signal, all common electrode signals in the plane are output by the common electrode terminal D, and for the area far away from the common electrode terminal D, such as the upper side of the TFT layer, due to the existence of coupling capacitance in the line, the common electrode signal will be lost more when it is transmitted to the upper side of the TFT layer, thereby making the common electrode signal in the plane uneven, causing uneven display, such as crosstalk problem; especially for the display panel of FFS (Fringe Field Switch) mode, its coupling capacitance is larger than that of other display modes, so the greater the unevenness of the common electrode signal, the greater the unevenness of the common electrode signal.

[0046] In this embodiment, a common electrode terminal 120 is set on the first side of the TFT layer, and the in-plane common electrode signal line COM1 and the common electrode layer 200 are connected through the common electrode terminal 120; the specific setting of the first side of the TFT layer can be selected based on actual needs; and the common electrode signal is input from the first side.

[0047] It can be understood that the common electrode layer 200 is a layer for providing common electrode signals. Specifically, the common electrode signals can be introduced from the common electrode layer 200 into corresponding wirings for transmission.

[0048] In this embodiment, in addition to setting a common electrode signal input on the first side of the TFT layer, a common electrode signal input is also set on the second side of the TFT layer. It can be understood that the first side of the TFT layer is opposite to the second side, and the common electrode signal is input from two opposite sides of the TFT layer, thereby eliminating or weakening the influence of the coupling capacitance.

[0049] Specifically, an electrode opening 110 is made on the second side of the TFT layer, and the common electrode layer 200 provides a common electrode signal at the position corresponding to the electrode opening 110. The specific method of providing the common electrode signal may be to set relevant signal lines or electrode points. Therefore, after the electrode opening 110 is made on the TFT layer, it is possible to contact the common electrode layer 200 below the TFT layer through the electrode opening 110; at the same time, a conductor is filled in the electrode opening 110 so that the conductor can contact the common electrode layer 200; and a conductive layer structure is set between the conductor and the in-plane common electrode signal line COM1, so that the common electrode signal provided by the common electrode layer 200 can reach the in-plane common electrode signal line COM1 through the conductor and the conductive layer structure in sequence, thereby realizing the input of the common electrode signal on the second side of the TFT layer.

[0050] The specific material of the conductor can be selected based on actual needs, such as conductive silver paste Ag.

[0051] It should be noted that the number of electrode openings 110 can be one or more, and can be set based on actual needs; for each electrode opening 110, a corresponding conductive layer structure and a filling conductor are set respectively, so as to realize the input of common electrode signals at multiple points on the second side of the TFT layer; the specific opening method of the electrode opening 110 can be set based on actual needs, such as glass through-hole technology.

[0052] In this embodiment, the in-plane common electrode signal line COM1 is connected to the common electrode layer 200 through the common electrode terminal 120 on the first side of the thin film transistor layer 100, and the electrode opening 110 and the conductive layer structure are provided on the second side of the thin film transistor layer 100 to connect the in-plane common electrode signal line COM1 to the common electrode layer 200, so that the input of the common electrode signal can be realized on both sides of the thin film transistor layer 100, thereby eliminating the difference in the recovery ability of the common electrode signal and avoiding the problems of crosstalk or display unevenness.

[0053] Further, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , the display panel also includes a filter layer and a sealant Seal; wherein:

[0054] The filter layer is arranged opposite to the thin film transistor layer 100, and the sealant Seal is arranged between the side edge of the filter layer and the side edge of the thin film transistor layer 100;

[0055] A colloid through hole is provided in the area of ​​the sealant Seal opposite to the electrode opening 110 , and the conductor is filled in the colloid through hole and overflows through the electrode opening 110 to be connected with the common electrode layer 200 .

[0056] The filter layer is a CF (Color Filter) layer; after the TFT layer and the CF layer are prepared separately, they are bonded together by means of a sealant Seal. It can be understood that the sealant Seal is not light-transmissive. Therefore, in order to avoid affecting the pixel display within the surface, the sealant Seal is arranged on the side of the filter layer and the thin film transistor layer 100; that is, a structure of a TFT layer, a sealant Seal, and a CF layer from bottom to top is formed; and in order to realize the input of the common electrode signal on the second side of the TFT layer, it is necessary to make an electrode opening 110 on the TFT layer and fill it with conductive silver paste Ag to establish a connection with the common electrode layer 200; after making the electrode opening 110 on the TFT layer, the conductive silver paste Ag is filled in. In order to ensure that the conductive silver paste Ag can contact with the common electrode layer 200, when filling the conductive silver paste Ag, it is necessary to fill the conductive silver paste Ag until it overflows, and the platform formed by the overflowing part is used to contact with the common electrode layer 200. It should be noted that the conductive silver paste Ag and the common electrode layer 200 may be in direct contact or indirect contact, such as by providing a flexible conductive adhesive on the common electrode layer 200 and then contacting the conductive silver paste Ag through the flexible conductive adhesive to achieve input of the common electrode signal.

[0057] In order to provide a contact area between the conductive silver paste Ag and the conductive layer structure of the TFT layer, a colloidal through hole is opened in the sealant Seal in the area opposite to the electrode opening 110. It can be understood that the colloidal through hole is connected to the electrode opening 110. When the conductive silver paste Ag is filled, the conductive silver paste Ag fills the colloidal through hole and the electrode opening 110 and then overflows.

[0058] Further, the filter layer includes an organic flat layer;

[0059] A light shielding layer BM disposed on the organic flat surface;

[0060] A first substrate B1 disposed on the light shielding layer;

[0061] A polarizing layer POL is disposed on the first substrate B1.

[0062] The organic flat layer Organic is used to provide a flat surface for the upper structure; the light shielding layer BM is used to prevent light from leaking from the edge of the display screen; the first substrate B1 is a glass substrate; and the polarizing layer POL is used to eliminate reflected light from the external environment.

[0063] It can be understood that in actual preparation, the thin film transistor layer 100 and the CF layer need to be prepared separately and then aligned. Generally, the CF layer is turned upside down and aligned with the thin film transistor layer 100; therefore, when preparing the CF layer, the preparation order of each layer is opposite to the above structure. Specifically, the polarizing layer POL is prepared first, and the first substrate B1 is prepared on the polarizing layer POL. The shading layer BM is prepared on the first substrate B1; after the prepared CF layer is turned upside down, the above structure is formed.

[0064] It should be noted that the specific structure of the filter layer can be set based on actual needs, and this embodiment exemplifies a feasible approach.

[0065] Further, it is characterized in that the thin film transistor layer 100 includes a second substrate B2, the conductive layer structure is arranged on the second substrate B2, and the electrode opening 110 is arranged on the second substrate B2;

[0066] The conductive layer structure includes a first metal layer M1 disposed on the second substrate B2, and the first metal layer M1 is connected to the in-plane common electrode signal line COM1;

[0067] A second metal layer M2 disposed on the first metal layer M1;

[0068] A first conductive glass layer ITO1 is disposed on the second metal layer M2 , and the first conductive glass layer ITO1 is in contact with the conductor.

[0069] The second substrate B2 provides stable support and protection for the liquid crystal panel; the second substrate B2 may be a glass substrate.

[0070] It can be understood that the second substrate B2 is the bottom layer of the conductive layer structure, and therefore, the common electrode layer 200 is arranged below the TFT layer. Therefore, by setting the electrode opening 110 on the second substrate B2, the connection between the upper structure and the common electrode layer 200 can be achieved.

[0071] It can be understood that the first metal layer M1, the second metal layer M2 and the first conductive glass layer ITO1 are all layer structures with conductive capabilities;

[0072] It can be understood that in the original TFT layer preparation, it has a certain layer structure, such as the first metal layer M1 is used to prepare the gate of the TFT, the second metal layer M2 is used to prepare the source and drain of the TFT, and the first conductive glass layer ITO1 is used to prepare the common electrode of the TFT; therefore, in this embodiment, although the electrode opening 110 is made on the second side of the TFT, which belongs to an independent area relative to the in-plane, in order to facilitate the implementation of the solution, the conductive layer structure around the electrode opening 110 can be designed based on the existing layer structure; that is, the conductive layer structure described in this embodiment, although it has an independent layer similar to the in-plane, the role of the specific layer It is designed based on the common electrode signal input, which is inconsistent with the role and design principle of the corresponding layer in the in-plane TFT structure; taking the first metal layer M1, the second metal layer M2, and the first conductive glass layer ITO1 as examples, in this embodiment, the first conductive glass layer ITO1 is used to contact the conductive silver paste Ag, the first metal layer M1 is used to connect to the in-plane common electrode signal line COM1, and the second metal layer M2 transmits electrical signals between the first conductive glass layer ITO1 and the first metal layer M1; relative to the corresponding layer in the in-plane TFT structure, although the name is the same and the material used is the same, the role and setting method are obviously different. The same applies to other subsequent layers, which will not be repeated.

[0073] In this embodiment, by providing a conductive layer structure including a first metal layer M1 , a second metal layer M2 and a first conductive glass layer ITO1 , the transmission of the common electrode signal from the conductive silver paste Ag to the in-plane common electrode signal line COM1 is achieved.

[0074] Furthermore, the thin film transistor layer further includes an organic film layer disposed on the second metal layer M2;

[0075] The organic film layer is provided with a first opening O1 opposite to the electrode opening 110, and the first opening O1 is sloped toward the side of the electrode opening 110, and the first conductive glass layer ITO1 covers the side of the organic film layer from above the organic film layer and extends to the second substrate B2;

[0076] The organic film layer is provided with a second opening O2 , and the first conductive glass layer ITO1 is in contact with the second metal layer M2 through the second opening O2 .

[0077] The PFA (Polymer Film On Array, organic film) layer is used to achieve planarization and provide a flat surface for the upper structure.

[0078] The PFA layer is provided with a first opening O1 relative to the electrode opening 110, so that the electrode opening 110 can be connected to the colloid through hole of the sealant Seal body; after filling with the conductive silver paste Ag, the conductive silver paste Ag can contact the entire first opening O1 of the PFA layer and the part in contact with the colloid through hole; and the first conductive glass layer ITO1 needs to contact the conductive silver paste Ag to achieve the transmission of the common electrode signal, therefore, the first conductive glass is covered to the position relative to the conductive silver paste Ag of the PFA layer, thereby achieving the maximum contact area between the first conductive glass and the conductive silver paste Ag. At the same time, the side of the PFA layer facing the electrode opening 110 is prepared as a slope, which can also increase the contact area between the first conductive glass and the conductive silver paste Ag after covering.

[0079] It can be understood that the PFA layer is insulating, and the PFA layer is arranged on the second metal layer M2, and the first conductive glass is arranged on the PFA layer. Therefore, the first conductive glass and the second metal layer M2 cannot be electrically connected through the PFA layer. Therefore, it is necessary to set a second opening O2 on the PFA layer so that the first conductive glass can directly contact the second metal layer M2 through the second opening O2 to achieve electrical conduction.

[0080] Furthermore, the conductive layer structure further includes a second insulating layer Pass2 disposed between the first conductive glass layer ITO1 and the organic film layer; the second insulating layer Pass2 is provided with a third opening O3 relative to the electrode opening 110, and the third opening O3 has a smaller aperture than the first opening O1; the second insulating layer Pass2 is disconnected at the side of the organic film layer, and the first conductive glass layer ITO1 forms a groove A1 between the second insulating layer Pass2 and the side of the organic film layer;

[0081] The second insulating layer Pass2 is opened at the second opening O2 of the organic film layer to form Pass2+PFAH.

[0082] The second insulating layer Pass2 is used to achieve insulation between different conductive layers. In this embodiment, the second insulating layer Pass2 is provided with a third opening O3 relative to the electrode opening 110, so that the electrode opening 110 can be connected with the colloid through hole of the sealant Seal. At the same time, the aperture of the third opening O3 is smaller than the first opening O1, so that the second insulating layer Pass2 will exist at a position closer to the electrode opening 110, and there will be no PFA layer. At the same time, the second insulating layer Pass2 is disconnected at the PFA side, so that there is only the PFA layer at the disconnected position without the second insulating layer Pass2. The second insulating layer Pass2 is arranged between the first conductive glass layer ITO1 and the PFA layer. When the first conductive glass layer ITO1 is prepared, the first conductive glass layer ITO1 will simultaneously cover the second conductive glass layer ITO1. The second insulating layer Pass2 and the PFA layer; thereby, the first conductive glass layer ITO1 on the second insulating layer Pass2 near the electrode opening 110 is higher, while the first conductive glass layer ITO1 on the position where the second insulating layer Pass2 is disconnected is lower, and the first conductive glass layer ITO1 on the side of the PFA layer gradually rises, so that the first conductive glass layer ITO1 forms a groove between the second insulating layer Pass2 and the side of the organic film layer; the presence of the groove further increases the contact area between the first conductive glass layer ITO1 and the conductive silver paste Ag; at the same time, the first conductive glass layer ITO1 is prone to cracks when covering the side of the PFA layer, and by setting the groove structure, the stability of the first conductive glass layer ITO1 can be improved to avoid the occurrence of cracks.

[0083] It can be understood that the second insulating layer Pass2 is insulating, and the second insulating layer Pass2 is arranged on the second metal layer M2, and the first conductive glass is arranged on the second insulating layer Pass2. Therefore, the first conductive glass and the second metal layer M2 cannot be electrically connected through the second insulating layer Pass2. Therefore, it is necessary to set an opening on the second insulating layer Pass2 so that the first conductive glass can directly contact the second metal layer M2 through the second opening O2 to achieve electrical conduction.

[0084] Furthermore, the conductive layer structure further includes a second conductive glass layer ITO2 disposed between the second insulating layer Pass2 and the organic film layer;

[0085] The second conductive glass layer ITO2 covers the side of the organic film layer from above the organic film layer;

[0086] Between the first opening O1 and the second opening O2 of the organic film layer, a fourth opening O4 is provided in the contact section of the first conductive glass layer ITO1 with the sealant Seal, and the second insulating layer Pass2 is in contact with the sealant Seal through the fourth opening O4;

[0087] The second insulating layer Pass2 is provided with a fifth opening O5 between the fourth opening O4 and the second opening O2;

[0088] The first conductive glass layer ITO1 contacts the second conductive glass layer ITO2 through the fifth opening O5.

[0089] It can be understood that the first conductive glass layer ITO1 is the top layer of the TFT layer, and therefore, the sealant Seal will adhere to the first conductive glass layer ITO1; and due to material properties, the adhesion between the second insulating layer Pass2 and the sealant Seal is better than that between the first conductive glass layer ITO1, and therefore, in this embodiment, relevant settings are used to make the second insulating layer Pass2 and the sealant Seal adhere to each other, thereby improving airtightness.

[0090] Specifically, a fourth opening O4 is provided on the contact portion of the first conductive glass layer ITO1 with the sealant Seal. Since the second insulating layer Pass2 is located below the first conductive glass, the second insulating layer Pass2 can contact with the sealant Seal through the fourth opening O4, thereby improving airtightness.

[0091] However, the projection of the fourth opening O4 is set between the first opening O1 and the second opening O2 of the PFA layer. Therefore, the first conductive glass cannot establish an electrical connection between the conductive silver paste Ag and the second metal layer M2 due to the disconnection of the fourth opening O4. Therefore, in this embodiment, a fifth opening O5 is set in the PFA layer to form Pass2H, and a second conductive glass is set; the coverage of the second conductive glass extends from above the PFA layer to the side of the PFA layer; it should be noted that when the second conductive glass covers the PFA layer, it needs to cover the position below the fifth opening O5; at this time, due to the second insulating layer Pass 2 is disconnected at the side of the PFA layer, so the first conductive glass and the second conductive glass can contact at the side of the PFA layer, and at the same time, because the fifth opening O5 of the second insulating layer Pass2 is set between the fourth opening O4 and the second opening O2, the first conductive glass and the second conductive glass can contact at the fifth opening O5; therefore, the common electrode signal output by the conductive silver paste Ag can sequentially pass through the first conductive glass, the second conductive glass on the side of the PFA layer, and the second conductive glass of the fifth opening O5 to reach the second metal layer M2; while achieving improved airtightness, the transmission path of the common electrode signal is guaranteed.

[0092] Furthermore, the conductive layer structure further includes a gate insulating layer disposed between the first metal layer M1 and the second metal layer M2; wherein:

[0093] The gate insulating layer is provided with a sixth opening O6 at a position where the gate insulating layer contacts the first metal layer M1 and the second metal layer M2 . The first metal layer M1 contacts the second metal layer M2 through the sixth opening O6 .

[0094] The GI (Gate Insulator) layer is arranged on the first metal layer M1, and the gate insulating layer is insulated, so no electrical connection can be established between the first metal layer M1 and the second metal layer M2; therefore, in this embodiment, a sixth opening O6 is set on the gate insulating layer to form a GIH, and the sixth opening O6 is positioned to contact the first metal layer M1 and the second metal layer M2 at the same time, so that the first metal layer M1 and the second metal layer M2 can be electrically connected through the sixth opening O6.

[0095] Furthermore, the conductive layer structure further includes a first insulating layer Pass1 disposed on the gate insulating layer and the second metal layer M2 and below the organic film layer; the first insulating layer Pass1 opens at the second opening O2 of the organic film layer.

[0096] By setting the first insulating layer Pass1 to wrap the layer structure thereunder, the airtightness can be further improved; however, since the first insulating layer Pass1 is an insulating layer, after the first insulating layer Pass1 is set, the second metal layer M2 and the first conductive glass layer ITO1 cannot be electrically connected due to the existence of the first insulating layer Pass1; therefore, in this embodiment, an opening is made at a position of the first insulating layer Pass1 relative to the second opening O2, so that the first conductive glass layer ITO1 and the second metal layer M2 can be in contact.
