[0050] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0051] See also Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 is a structural diagram of an embodiment of a pixel driving circuit provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is a heating schematic diagram of a Peltier module provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 Schematic diagram of heat dissipation of the Peltier module provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0052] The present application provides a pixel driving circuit 1. The pixel driving circuit 1 includes a pixel electrode P and a transistor T. The transistor T has a semiconductor layer 30 (see Figure 4). The transistor T includes a first transistor T1 and a second transistor T2. The first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 have opposite conductivity types. The first transistor T1, the pixel electrode P and the second transistor T2 are sequentially connected in series. In the display driving stage, one of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 is turned on to discharge or charge the pixel electrode P. In the thermal management stage, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are both turned on, the semiconductor layer 30 in the first transistor T1, the pixel electrode P and the semiconductor layer 30 in the second transistor T2 are combined to form a Peltier module 101, the semiconductor layer 30 in the first transistor T1 and the semiconductor layer 30 in the second transistor T2 form a Peltier pair 102, and the pixel electrode P serves as the hot end or the cold end of the Peltier module 101.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the first transistor T1, the pixel electrode P and the second transistor T2 are sequentially connected in series, and the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 have opposite conductivity types, so that the semiconductor layer 30 in the first transistor T1 and the semiconductor layer 30 in the second transistor T2 can form a Peltier pair 102, and the pixel electrode P can serve as the hot end or the cold end of the Peltier module 101. The pixel electrode P is selectively turned on to realize the charging and discharging of the pixel electrode P, and the pixel electrode P is used to heat or dissipate the liquid crystal 300 by changing the direction of the current flowing through the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 to improve the display effect of the liquid crystal panel in a high temperature or low temperature environment.

[0054] In the display driving stage, the pixel electrode P is used to apply voltage to change the liquid crystal 300 (see Figure 5 ) direction, thereby controlling the amount of light transmitted. The pixel electrode P defines the position of the pixel (not shown in the figure), ensuring the clarity and resolution of the image. By independently controlling the voltage or current on each pixel electrode P, precise control of a single pixel can be achieved. When a voltage is applied to a specific pixel, the liquid crystal 300 will rearrange, allowing different amounts of light to pass through, achieving grayscale changes in the image.

[0055] In the thermal management stage, the direction of the current flowing through the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 is changed to switch the pixel electrode P as a hot end to heat the liquid crystal 300, or to switch the pixel electrode P as a cold end to dissipate heat from the liquid crystal 300.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are designed to have opposite conductivity types, so that the first transistor T1, the pixel electrode P and the second transistor T2 arranged in series in sequence in the pixel driving circuit 1 can be combined to form a Peltier module 101, and the liquid crystal 300 can be heated or dissipated through the pixel electrode P arranged close to the liquid crystal 300, so as to improve the display effect of the liquid crystal panel in a low temperature environment or a high temperature environment, and the structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0057] The transistor T further has a first terminal and a second terminal, one of which is a source electrode 51 (see Figure 4 ), the other is a drain 52 (see Figure 4 ). In the same transistor T, the source 51 and the drain 52 have the same conductivity type.

[0058] There is no restriction on the doping ions of the source 51 and the drain 52 , and it is required to ensure that the source 51 and the drain 52 have the same conductivity type.

[0059] The transistor T may be any one of an oxide transistor, an amorphous silicon transistor, or a polysilicon transistor.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first transistor T1 is an oxide transistor, and the second transistor T2 is a polysilicon transistor.

[0061] In some embodiments, a first terminal of the first transistor T1 receives a first voltage V1 , a second terminal of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the pixel electrode P, and a control terminal of the first transistor T1 receives a first control signal S1 .

[0062] A first end of the second transistor T2 receives a second voltage V2 , a second end of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the pixel electrode P, and a control end of the second transistor T2 receives a second control signal S2 .

[0063] In the thermal management stage, the pixel electrode P is controlled to serve as a hot end or a cold end of the Peltier module 101 by controlling the magnitude relationship between the first voltage V1 and the second voltage V2 .

[0064] In the display driving stage, one of the first voltage V1 and the second voltage V2 is a data voltage, and the other is a ground voltage VSS.

[0065] In some embodiments, the pixel driving circuit 1 further includes a pixel capacitor C, one end of the pixel capacitor C is electrically connected to the pixel electrode P, and the other end of the pixel capacitor C receives a ground voltage VSS.

[0066] One of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 is an N-type transistor, and the other is a P-type transistor.

[0067] Exemplarily, the first transistor T1 is an N-type transistor, and the second transistor T2 is a P-type transistor.

[0068] The thermal management stage includes a heating stage and a heat dissipation stage. In the heating stage, the first voltage V1 is less than the second voltage V2, and the pixel electrode P serves as a hot end.

[0069] In the heat dissipation stage, the first voltage V1 is greater than the second voltage V2, and the pixel electrode P serves as a cold end.

[0070] In the display driving stage, the first voltage V1 is a data voltage and the second voltage V2 is a ground voltage VSS. The display driving stage includes a charging stage and a discharging stage. In the charging stage, the first transistor T1 is turned on and the second transistor T2 is turned off to charge the pixel electrode P.

[0071] In the discharge phase, the first transistor T1 is turned off and the second transistor T2 is turned on to discharge the pixel electrode P.

[0072] Exemplarily, in the display driving stage, the first voltage V1 is a data voltage, and the second voltage V2 is a ground voltage VSS.

[0073] In the charging stage, the first control signal S1 is at a high level, controlling the first transistor T1 to be turned on, and the second control signal S2 is at a high level, controlling the second transistor T2 to be turned off, and the data voltage charges the pixel electrode P and the pixel capacitor C through the first transistor T1 for display.

[0074] In the discharge stage, the first control signal S1 is at a low level, controlling the first transistor T1 to be turned off, and the second control signal S2 is at a low level, controlling the second transistor T2 to be turned on, and the pixel electrode P is quickly discharged through the second transistor T2, which is beneficial to high-frequency display.

[0075] In the thermal management stage, the first transistor T1 , the pixel electrode P and the second transistor T2 form a closed loop.

[0076] In the heating stage, the first voltage V1 is less than the second voltage V2, and the current flows to the first transistor T1 via the second transistor T2 and the pixel electrode P in sequence. The pixel electrode P serves as a hot end to heat the liquid crystal 300 in a low temperature environment.

[0077] In the heat dissipation stage, the first voltage V1 is greater than the second voltage V2, and the current flows to the second transistor T2 via the first transistor T1 and the pixel electrode P in sequence. The pixel electrode P serves as a cold end to dissipate heat for the liquid crystal 300 in a high temperature environment.

[0078] Exemplarily, if the first transistor T1 is an N-type transistor, the semiconductor layer 30 in the first transistor T1 is an N-type semiconductor; if the second transistor T2 is a P-type transistor, the semiconductor layer 30 in the second transistor T2 is a P-type semiconductor.

[0079] When the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 are both turned on, the P-type semiconductor and the N-type semiconductor are connected to form a couple, namely, a Peltier pair 102. When a direct current is connected in the circuit, energy transfer can be generated.

[0080] The second end of the P-type semiconductor and the second end of the N-type semiconductor are electrically connected through the pixel electrode P. The pixel electrode P is disposed close to the liquid crystal 300. One of the first end of the N-type semiconductor and the first end of the P-type semiconductor is connected to the first voltage V1, and the other is connected to the second voltage V2, and a closed loop is formed in the thermal management stage.

[0081] In the Peltier module 101, when current flows from the N-type semiconductor to the P-type semiconductor, the first end of the P-type semiconductor and the first end of the N-type semiconductor together constitute the hot end of the Peltier module 101; the second end of the P-type semiconductor and the second end of the N-type semiconductor together constitute the cold end of the Peltier module 101.

[0082] When current flows from the P-type semiconductor to the N-type semiconductor, the first end of the P-type semiconductor and the first end of the N-type semiconductor together constitute the cold end of the Peltier module 101; the second end of the P-type semiconductor and the second end of the N-type semiconductor together constitute the hot end of the Peltier module 101.

[0083] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, when current flows from the P-type semiconductor to the N-type semiconductor, the pixel electrode P, as the hot end of the Peltier module 101, releases heat to the liquid crystal 300 to heat the liquid crystal 300, thereby improving the problem of slow response speed and ghosting of the liquid crystal panel in a low temperature environment. Figure 3 As shown, when current flows from the N-type semiconductor to the P-type semiconductor, the pixel electrode P as the cold end of the Peltier module 101 absorbs the heat of the liquid crystal 300 to dissipate the heat of the liquid crystal 300, thereby improving the problem that the liquid crystal panel cannot display normally in a high temperature environment.

[0084] See also Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 4 It is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of an array substrate provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0085] The present application provides an array substrate 100 , and the array substrate 100 includes the above-mentioned pixel driving circuit 1 .

[0087] The first substrate 10 can be a hard substrate, such as glass, quartz, sapphire, etc.; the first substrate 10 can also be a flexible substrate, such as polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), etc. There is no restriction on the material of the first substrate 10, and it can be selected according to actual needs. The first substrate 10 is a transparent substrate.

[0088] In a direction parallel to the first substrate 10, there are multiple semiconductor layers 30. The semiconductor layer 30 is used to form a source 51, a drain 52 and an active layer 53 of the transistor T. Both ends of the semiconductor layer 30 are doped with ions of the same conductivity type to form the source 51 and the drain 52, respectively, and the undoped portion in the middle of the semiconductor layer 30 forms the active layer 53. That is, the active layer 53 is located between the source 51 and the drain 52. In the same transistor T, the source 51 and the drain 52 have the same conductivity type.

[0089] The semiconductor layer 30 is divided into a first semiconductor layer 31 and a second semiconductor layer 32 according to the conductivity type of doped ions.

[0095] There are multiple pixel electrodes P. The pixel electrode P is a transparent conductive layer.

[0096] Exemplarily, the pixel electrode P may be a transparent conductive layer such as indium tin oxide (ITO), aluminum zinc oxide (AZO), or zinc tin oxide (IZO).

[0097] There is no restriction on the shape and arrangement of the plurality of pixel electrodes P, and they can be selected according to actual needs.

[0098] The first alignment layer 90 enables the liquid crystal 300 to be arranged along a predetermined direction through its special surface treatment and structure, thereby ensuring that the display panel 2 (see Figure 5 ) display effect and stability.

[0099] The materials of the buffer layer 20 , the gate insulating layer 40 , the insulating dielectric layer 60 , the passivation layer 80 and the first alignment layer 90 are not limited and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0100] Exemplarily, the source 51 of the transistor T receives an external power supply (for example, a first voltage V1 or a second voltage V2), and the drain 52 of the transistor T is connected to the pixel electrode P. The pixel electrode P is electrically connected to the drain 52 of the corresponding transistor T via the drain pad 72. The pixel electrode P is connected to the drain pad 72 via a via. Specifically, the source 51 of the first transistor T1 receives the first voltage V1 via the source pad 71, and the drain 52 of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the pixel electrode P via the drain pad 72. The source 51 of the second transistor T2 receives the second voltage V2 via the source pad 71, and the drain 52 of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the pixel electrode P via the drain pad 72.

The array substrate 100 is the above-mentioned array substrate 100. That is, the display panel 2 is a liquid crystal panel.

[0104] The mainboard 3 is electrically connected to the display panel 2 to control the display of the display panel 2 .

[0105] In some embodiments, the color filter substrate 200 includes a second substrate 201 , a color filter 202 , a common electrode layer 203 , and a second alignment layer 204 which are stacked in sequence.

[0106] The second substrate 201 can be a hard substrate or a flexible substrate. The second substrate 201 is a transparent substrate. The material of the second substrate 201 is not limited here and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0108] The color resist 2021 is used to decompose white light into three basic colors: red, green, and blue, thereby achieving color display. The black matrix 2022 is used to isolate the color resists 2021 of different colors to prevent light leakage between adjacent color resists 2021, avoid color mixing, and ensure that each pixel can accurately display its predetermined color, thereby improving the clarity of the image and the purity of the color.

[0109] An electric field is formed between the common electrode layer 203 and the pixel electrode P, thereby changing the arrangement of the liquid crystal 300, thereby controlling the transmittance of light and realizing the display of different grayscales and colors.

[0110] The common electrode layer 203 is a transparent conductive layer. The material of the common electrode layer 203 is not limited and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0111] The second alignment layer 204 enables the liquid crystal 300 to be arranged along a predetermined direction through its special surface treatment and structure, thereby ensuring the display effect and stability of the display panel 2 .

[0112] The transistor T is located at a side of the pixel electrode P away from the color filter substrate 200 , and the pixel electrode P is electrically connected to the second end of the transistor T through a via hole.

[0113] In the thermal management stage, the pixel electrode P is reused as the cold end or hot end of the Peltier module 101, and the pixel electrode P is set close to the liquid crystal 300, which can better heat or dissipate heat for the liquid crystal 300, so as to improve the display effect of the display panel 2 in a low temperature environment or a high temperature environment; secondly, it can also save costs and reduce the thickness of the display panel 2.

[0114] The materials of the color filter 202 and the second alignment layer 204 are not limited and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0115] The mainboard 3 is the core of the entire display device 5 and is responsible for coordinating and controlling various functions of the display panel 2 .

[0116] In some embodiments, the display device 5 further includes a temperature monitoring module 4, which is used to sense the external environment temperature and control the direction of the current flowing through the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2.

[0117] Exemplarily, when the temperature monitoring module 4 detects that the operating temperature of the liquid crystal 300 is lower than the low temperature critical value, it controls the first voltage V1 to be smaller than the second voltage V2, and the current flows to the first transistor T1 through the second transistor T2 and the pixel electrode P in sequence, so that the pixel electrode P releases heat as a hot end to heat the liquid crystal 300.

[0118] When the temperature monitoring module 4 detects that the operating temperature of the liquid crystal 300 exceeds the high temperature critical value, it controls the first voltage V1 to be greater than the second voltage V2, and the current flows to the second transistor T2 through the first transistor T1 and the pixel electrode P in sequence, so that the pixel electrode P absorbs heat as a cold end to dissipate the heat of the liquid crystal 300.

[0119] When the temperature monitoring module 4 detects that the operating temperature of the liquid crystal 300 is between the low temperature critical value and the high temperature critical value, the temperature monitoring module 4 does not output.

[0120] There is no restriction on the specific values ​​of the low temperature critical value and the high temperature critical value, and they can be selected according to actual needs.

[0121] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the temperature monitoring module 4 is disposed in the display panel 2 .

[0122] In other embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the temperature monitoring module 4 is arranged in the main board 3;

[0123] In some other embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the temperature monitoring module 4 is arranged independently from the display panel 2 and the main board 3 .

[0124] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0125] The above are only implementation methods of the present application, and are not intended to limit the patent protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly used in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
