Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and more particularly to an array substrate, a display panel, and a display device. Background Technology

[0002] The name UV2A comes from the multiplication of ultraviolet (UV) light with the VA method of the LCD panel. This technology can precisely control the alignment of liquid crystal molecules through ultraviolet light, greatly improving the light transmittance.

[0003] The key to UV2A lies in utilizing a special polymer material as an alignment film to precisely control the tilt of liquid crystal molecules along the ultraviolet light direction. Its precision is measured in picometers (one trillionth of a meter). The advantage of UV2A is that the liquid crystal panel has a simple structure without protrusions or slits. This "dream of liquid crystal engineers" was explored as early as 30 years ago. Today, with the availability of new materials, production equipment, and a perfected processing procedure, this dream has been realized. The simple structure of the liquid crystal panel not only improves production efficiency but also offers many advantages in image quality.

[0004] High-resolution products, such as 8K and 16K displays, are the main direction for future products. However, current 8K products using vertically aligned liquid crystal (VA) have problems with low transmittance and poor color shift. Summary of the Invention

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0101] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure shall have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. The terms “first,” “second,” and similar terms used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Terms such as “comprising” or “including” mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Terms such as “connected” or “linked” are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as “upper,” “lower,” “left,” and “right” are used only to indicate relative positional relationships, and these relative positional relationships may change accordingly when the absolute position of the described objects changes.

[0102] As used herein, “approximately” or “substantially the same” includes the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviations from the specific value, as determined by a person skilled in the art taking into account the measurement in question and the errors associated with the measurement of the specific quantity (i.e., limitations of the measurement system). For example, “substantially the same” may mean a difference relative to the stated value within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, 20%, 10%, or 5%.

[0103] In the accompanying drawings, the thicknesses of layers, films, panels, regions, etc., are enlarged for clarity. Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views that are schematic diagrams of idealized embodiments. Thus, deviations from the shapes shown in the drawings will be expected as a result of, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Therefore, the embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the specific shapes of the regions shown herein, but rather include deviations in shape caused, for example, by manufacturing processes. For example, regions illustrated or described as flat may typically have rough and / or non-linear characteristics. Furthermore, sharp corners illustrated may be rounded. Thus, the regions shown in the figures are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shapes of the regions, nor are they intended to limit the scope of the claims.

[0106] Substrate 1;

[0107] Multiple sub-pixels P are located on one side of substrate 1. The multiple sub-pixels P include: a row of sub-pixels extending along a first direction X and arranged along a second direction Y; at least one sub-pixel P includes: a main pixel portion PA distributed along the second direction Y and an auxiliary pixel portion PB, wherein the brightness of the main pixel portion PA is greater than the brightness of the auxiliary pixel portion PB, and the main pixel portion PA and the auxiliary pixel portion PB are arranged alternately in the sub-pixel row.

[0108] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one sub-pixel P includes: a main pixel portion PA distributed along the second direction Y, and an auxiliary pixel portion PB, wherein the brightness of the main pixel portion PA is greater than the brightness of the auxiliary pixel portion PB, and in the sub-pixel row, the main pixel portion PA and the auxiliary pixel portion PB are arranged alternately, that is, the main pixel portion PA and the auxiliary pixel portion PB are vertically divided and staggered. The two sub-pixels in the first direction X can form a 2P8D (2 sub-pixels and 8 planning areas) effect of mutual brightness and darkness compensation, and the second direction Y can also form a mutual brightness and darkness compensation effect. Moreover, the two sub-pixels in the first direction X can also form a mutual viewing angle compensation effect, and the second direction Y can also form a mutual viewing angle compensation effect. This 2P8D design can achieve the effect of both improving transmittance and improving color shift.

[0109] It is understandable that the brightness of the main pixel PA is greater than the brightness of the auxiliary pixel PB, which refers to the brightness comparison within a sub-pixel P when the display panel is powered on and lit.

[0110] In one possible implementation, see Figures 1A-1F As shown, Figures 2A-2F As shown, Figures 3A-3F As shown, Figures 4A-4F As shown, the array substrate includes: a gate line 2 extending along a first direction X, a data line 3 extending along a second direction Y, and a first common trace 25 distributed on one side of the gate line 2 extending along the first direction X, and a second common trace 26 distributed on the other side of the gate line 2 extending along the first direction X; the sub-pixel includes: a first sub-pixel electrode 41, a second sub-pixel electrode 42, a first transistor T1 electrically connected to the first sub-pixel electrode 41, a second transistor T2 electrically connected to the second sub-pixel electrode, and a third transistor T3 electrically connected to one of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2; the first sub-pixel electrode 41 and the first common trace 25 are located on the same side of the gate line 2, and the second sub-pixel electrode 41 is electrically connected to the first common trace 25 extending along the first direction X, and the second common trace 26 is electrically connected to the second common trace 26 extending along the first direction X. Electrode 42 and the second common trace 26 are located on the same side of gate line 2. For example, as in 1A, the first sub-pixel electrode 41 and the first common trace 25 are both located on the upper side of gate line 2, and the second sub-pixel electrode 42 and the second common trace 26 are both located on the lower side of gate line 2. In the sub-pixel row, the orthogonal projections of the third transistors T3 of multiple sub-pixels P onto the substrate 1 are alternately distributed in the first region S1 and the second region S2. The first region S1 includes: gate line 2, the first common trace 25, and the region between gate line 2 and the first common trace 25. The second region S2 includes: gate line 2, the second common trace 26, and the region between gate line 2 and the second common trace 26.

[0111] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the third transistors T3 of the multiple sub-pixels P are alternately distributed in the first region S1 and the second region S2 on the orthogonal projection of the substrate 1. In this way, the third transistors T3 are alternately electrically connected to the first common line 25 and the second common line 26, thereby realizing the alternating arrangement of the main pixel part PA and the auxiliary pixel part PB.

[0112] Specifically, the orthographic projection of the first transistor T1 onto the substrate 1 can be distributed in the first region S1 (the first region S1 may include: gate line 2, first common trace 25, and the region between gate line 2 and first common trace 25). That is, the orthographic projection of the first transistor T1 onto the substrate 1 may overlap with the orthographic projection of the gate line 2 onto the substrate 1, overlap with the orthographic projection of the first common trace 25 onto the substrate 1, and overlap with the orthographic projection of the region between gate line 2 and first common trace 25 onto the substrate 1. The orthographic projection of the second transistor T2 onto the substrate 1 can be distributed in the second region S2 (the second region S2 may include: gate line 2, second common trace 26, and the region between gate line 2 and second common trace 26). That is, the orthographic projection of the first transistor T1 onto the substrate 1 may overlap with the orthographic projection of the gate line 2 onto the substrate 1, overlap with the orthographic projection of the second common trace 26 onto the substrate 1, and overlap with the orthographic projection of the region between gate line 2 and second common trace 26 onto the substrate 1.

[0113] It is understandable that, along the first direction X, the first sub-pixel electrode 41 of each sub-pixel P is a sub-pixel electrode located on one side of the gate line 2, for example, all of them are located on the upper side of the gate line 2, and the second sub-pixel electrode 42 is a sub-pixel electrode located on the other side of the gate line 2, for example, all of them are located on the lower side of the gate line 2; and along the first direction X, the positions of the main pixel portion PA of the sub-pixel P are alternately distributed, that is, for two adjacent main pixel portions PA of the sub-pixel P along the first direction X, one is located on the upper side of the gate line 2 and the other is located on the lower side of the gate line 2. Similarly, along the first direction X, the positions of the auxiliary pixel portions PB of the sub-pixel P are also alternately distributed, that is, for two adjacent auxiliary pixel portions PB of the sub-pixel P along the first direction X, one is located on the upper side of the gate line 2 and the other is located on the lower side of the gate line 2.

[0114] In one possible implementation, see Figures 1A-1F As shown, Figures 2A-2F As shown, Figures 3A-3F As shown, Figures 4A-4F As shown, on the sub-pixel row, the third transistor T3 of multiple sub-pixels P is alternately electrically connected to the first common trace 25 and the second common trace 26. This achieves an alternating arrangement of the main pixel section PA and the auxiliary pixel section PB. Specifically, the third transistor T3 can be electrically connected to the first common trace 25 or the second common trace 26 through a third via K3.

[0115] In one possible implementation, see Figures 1A-1F As shown, Figures 2A-2F As shown, Figures 3A-3F As shown, Figures 4A-4F As shown, the first transistor T1 includes: a first transistor gate (not shown in the figure, but may specifically be a portion of multiplexed gate line 2), a first transistor terminal T1a, and a first transistor terminal T1b; the second transistor T2 includes: a second transistor gate (not shown in the figure, but may specifically be a portion of multiplexed gate line 2), a second transistor terminal T2a, and a second transistor terminal T2b; the third transistor T3 includes: a third transistor gate (not shown in the figure, but may specifically be a portion of multiplexed gate line 2), a third transistor terminal T3a, and a third transistor terminal T3b; in the sub-pixel row, the first transistor terminal T1b and the second transistor terminal T2b of multiple sub-pixels P are alternately multiplexed as the third transistor terminal T3a.

[0116] In one possible implementation, see Figures 1A-1F As shown, Figures 2A-2F As shown, Figures 3A-3F As shown, Figures 4A-4F As shown, the plurality of first transistor second electrodes T1b include: a first type of second electrode T1bX and a second type of second electrode T1bY; the first type of second electrode T1bX includes: a first type of first portion T1bX1 extending along the first direction X, a first type of second portion T1bX2 extending from one end of the first type of first portion T1bX toward the gate line 2, and a first type of third portion T1bX3 extending from the other end of the first type of first portion T1bX toward the gate line 2; the second type of second electrode T1bY includes: a second type of first portion T1bY1 extending along the first direction X, and a second type of second portion T1bY2 extending from one end of the second type of first portion T1bY1 toward the gate line; the first type of second electrode and the second type of second electrode are alternately distributed on the sub-pixel row.

[0117] In one possible implementation, see Figures 1A-1F As shown, Figures 2A-2F As shown, Figures 3A-3F As shown, Figures 4A-4FAs shown, the second transistor T2b includes: a third type second electrode T2bX and a fourth type second electrode T2bY; the third type second electrode T2bX includes: a third type first part T2bX1 extending along the first direction X, a third type second part T2bX2 extending from one end of the third type first part T2bX1 toward the gate line 2, and a third type third part T2bX3 extending from the other end of the third type first part T2bX1 toward the gate line 2; the fourth type second electrode T2bY includes: a fourth type first part T2bY1 extending along the first direction X, and a fourth type second part T2bY2 extending from one end of the fourth type first part T2bY1 toward the gate line 2; the third type second electrode and the fourth type second electrode are alternately distributed on the sub-pixel row.

[0118] In one possible implementation, see Figures 1A-1F As shown, Figures 2A-2F As shown, Figures 3A-3F As shown, Figures 4A-4F As shown, the first common trace 25 has a first common protrusion 25a facing the gate line 2. The orthographic projection of the second electrode T3b of the third transistor on the substrate 1 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first common protrusion 25a on the substrate 1. The first common trace 25 can be connected to the second electrode T3b of the third transistor through the third via K3. The second common trace 26 has a second common protrusion 26a facing the gate line 2. The orthographic projection of the second electrode T3b of the third transistor on the substrate 1 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second common protrusion 26a on the substrate. In the overlapping area, the second common trace 26 can be connected to the second electrode T3b of another third transistor through another third via K3 via the second common protrusion 26a; on the sub-pixel row, there is a sub-pixel P between adjacent first common protrusions 25a, that is, a first common protrusion 25a can be set every other sub-pixel P; there is a sub-pixel between adjacent second common protrusions 26a, that is, a second common protrusion 26a can be set every other sub-pixel P. The first common protrusions 25a and the second common protrusions 26a are staggered, specifically, as follows: Figure 1B In the middle, the first straight line k1 extending along the second direction Y and passing through the center of the first common convex part 25a does not coincide with the second straight line k2 extending along the second direction Y and passing through the center of the first common convex part 25a.

[0119] In one possible implementation, see Figure 1F and Figure 1H As shown, Figure 1H for Figure 1AThe cross-sectional diagram along the dashed line EF shows that the array substrate may also include a lap electrode 43. Optionally, the lap electrode 43 can be disposed on the same layer and made of the same material as the pixel electrode. The third via K3 can be a half-via, partially exposing the first common trace 25 (or the second common trace 26) and partially exposing the second electrode T3b of the third transistor. The lap electrode 43 is partially in contact with the first common trace 25 (or the second common trace 26) and partially with the second electrode T3b of the third transistor at the third via K3, thereby electrically connecting the first common trace 25 (or the second common trace 26) and the second electrode T3b of the third transistor through the lap electrode 43. Specifically, the design of the third via K3 as a half-via allows the third via K3 to form a stepped structure inside, which plays a role in guiding the alignment liquid and avoiding the moiré effect on the screen.

[0120] For details, see Figure 10 As shown, Figure 10 It can be Figure 1AEquivalent circuit diagram at the second sub-pixel P from the left in the middle. Here, S is the data line on the left side of the pixel, that is, the signal line that transmits the data signal to the current sub-pixel P, that is, the data line electrically connected to the current sub-pixel P. S_other is the data line on the right side of the pixel and also the data line of the horizontally adjacent pixel. Pixel circuit: It may include the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, the third transistor T3, the first capacitor Cpd_bright, the second capacitor Cgp_bright, the third capacitor Cst_bright, the fourth capacitor Clc_bright, the fifth capacitor Cpp(n + 1), the sixth capacitor Cpd_other_bright, the seventh capacitor Cpd_dark, the eighth capacitor Cgp_dark, the ninth capacitor Cst_dark, the tenth capacitor Clc_dark, the eleventh capacitor Cpp(n - 1), the twelfth capacitor Cpd_other_dark, and the thirteenth capacitor Cgcs. Among them, a first capacitor Cpd_bright is formed between the first sub-pixel electrode 41 and the data line 3, a second capacitor Cgp_bright is formed between the first sub-pixel electrode 41 and the gate line 2, a third capacitor Cst_bright can be formed in the overlapping area between the first sub-pixel electrode 41 and the first common trace 25, a fourth capacitor Clc_bright can be formed between the first sub-pixel electrode 41 and the common electrode on the opposite substrate side, a fifth capacitor Cpp(n + 1) can be formed between the first sub-pixel electrode 41 of the current sub-pixel P and the second sub-pixel electrode 42 of the previous sub-pixel P, and a sixth capacitor Cpd_other_bright can be formed between the first sub-pixel electrode 41 and the adjacent data line 3. A seventh capacitor Cpd_dark is formed between the second sub-pixel electrode 42 and the data line 3, an eighth capacitor Cgp_dark is formed between the second sub-pixel electrode 42 and the gate line 2, a ninth capacitor Cst_dark can be formed in the overlapping area between the second sub-pixel electrode 42 and the second common trace 26, a tenth capacitor Clc_dark can be formed between the second sub-pixel electrode 42 and the common electrode on the opposite substrate side, an eleventh capacitor Cpp(n - 1) can be formed between the second sub-pixel electrode 42 of the current sub-pixel P and the first sub-pixel electrode 41 of the next sub-pixel P, and a twelfth capacitor Cpd_other_dark can be formed between the second sub-pixel electrode 42 and the adjacent data line 3. A thirteenth capacitor Cgcs can be formed in the overlapping area between the gate line 2 and the second pole T3b of the third transistor. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1A and Figure 11 Since the third transistor T3 is connected to the second transistor T2, the voltage applied to the second sub-pixel electrode 42 will be partially divided into the thirteenth capacitor Cgcs through the third transistor T3, and / or on the transmitted common trace (the first common trace 25 or the second common trace 26), so that the voltage obtained by the second sub-pixel electrode 42 is lower than the voltage obtained by the first sub-pixel electrode 41. As a result, the light emission brightness of the second sub-pixel electrode 42 is less than the light emission brightness of the first sub-pixel electrode 41. The second sub-pixel electrode 42 serves as the auxiliary pixel portion PB, and the first sub-pixel electrode 41 serves as the main pixel portion PA. For adjacent sub-pixels P (such as Figure 1AThe first sub-pixel P from the left in the middle, because the third transistor T3 is connected to the first transistor T1, the voltage applied to the first sub-pixel electrode 41 will be distributed through the third transistor T3 to the gate line 2 and the second electrode T3b of the third transistor to form the fourteenth capacitor ( Figure 11 (not shown in the image) This causes the voltage received by the first sub-pixel electrode 41 to be lower than the voltage received by the second sub-pixel electrode 42, and thus the light emission brightness of the first sub-pixel electrode 41 is less than the light emission brightness of the second sub-pixel electrode 42. The first sub-pixel electrode 41 serves as the auxiliary pixel part PB, and the second sub-pixel electrode 42 serves as the main pixel part PA, thereby forming an alternating light and dark distribution effect on the sub-pixel row.

[0121] In one possible implementation, see Figures 1A-1F As shown, Figures 2A-2F As shown, Figures 3A-3F As shown, Figures 4A-4F As shown, the array substrate may also include a third common line 27 that electrically connects the first common line 25 and the second common line 26. The orthographic projection of the third common line 27 onto the substrate 1 is located on both sides of the orthographic projection of the data line 3 onto the substrate 1, which can improve the coupling capacitance between the data line 3 and the first sub-pixel electrode 41 (or the second sub-pixel electrode 42).

[0122] In one possible implementation, see Figures 1A-1F As shown, Figures 2A-2F As shown, Figures 3A-3F As shown, Figures 4A-4F As shown, the first sub-pixel electrode 41 is an integral structure, and the second sub-pixel electrode 42 is an integral structure.

[0123] In one possible implementation, see Figure 1F As shown, Figure 2F As shown, Figure 3F As shown, Figures 5A-5F As shown, the first sub-pixel electrode 41 includes a first electrode portion P1 and a second electrode portion P2 sequentially distributed along the second direction Y; the second sub-pixel electrode 42 includes a third electrode portion P3 and a fourth electrode portion P4 sequentially distributed along the second direction Y; the first electrode portion P1 has a plurality of first slits F1, the second electrode portion P2 has a plurality of second slits F2, the third electrode portion P3 has a plurality of third slits F3, and the fourth electrode portion P4 has a plurality of fourth slits F4; in one possible embodiment, see [reference needed]. Figure 1F As shown, Figure 2F As shown, Figure 3F As shown, the extension direction of the first slit F1 is the same as that of the second slit F2, and the extension direction of the third slit F3 is the same as that of the fourth slit F4. The extension direction of the first slit F1 is different from that of the third slit F3. In one possible implementation, see [link to implementation details].

[0126] In one possible implementation, see Figure 1F As shown, Figure 2F As shown, a fifth slit F5 is provided between the first electrode portion P1 and the second electrode portion P2, and the extension direction of the fifth slit F5 is different from the extension direction of the first slit F1; a sixth slit F6 is provided between the third electrode portion P3 and the fourth electrode portion P4, and the extension direction of the sixth slit F6 is different from the extension direction of the third slit F3. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the fifth slit F5 between the first electrode portion P1 and the second electrode portion P2 can improve the horizontal dark lines in the center of the first sub-pixel electrode 41; the sixth slit F6 between the third electrode portion P3 and the fourth electrode portion P4 can improve the horizontal dark lines in the center of the second sub-pixel electrode 42, thereby improving the aperture ratio of the display panel.

[0127] In one possible implementation, see Figure 1F As shown, the fifth slit F5 extends along the second direction Y, and the sixth slit F6 extends along the second direction Y.

[0128] In one possible implementation, see Figure 2FAs shown, the fifth slit F5 extends in the same direction as the third slit F3, and the sixth slit F6 extends in the same direction as the first slit F1.

[0129] In one possible implementation, see Figure 3F As shown, the side of the first electrode portion P1 facing the second electrode portion P2 is a semi-closed structure, and the side of the second electrode portion P2 facing the first electrode portion P1 is also a semi-closed structure. The closed position of the first electrode portion P1 facing the second electrode portion P2 is opposite to the open position of the second electrode portion P2 facing the first electrode portion P1, and the open position of the first electrode portion P1 facing the second electrode portion P2 is opposite to the closed position of the second electrode portion P2 facing the first electrode portion P1. The closed position of the second electrode portion P2 facing the first electrode portion P1 connects with the closed position of the first electrode portion P1 facing the second electrode portion P2, and this connection point is located in the middle region of the first electrode portion P1 (or the second electrode portion P2) in the first direction X.

[0130] In one possible implementation, see Figures 4A-4F As shown, the first slit F1 of the first electrode part P1 and the second slit F2 of the second electrode part P2 are integrally formed; the third slit F3 of the third electrode part P3 and the fourth slit F4 of the fourth electrode part P4 are integrally formed.

[0131] In one possible implementation, see Figures 5A-5F As shown, the array substrate includes: a gate line 2 extending along a first direction X, a data line 3 extending along a second direction Y, and a first common trace 25 distributed on one side of the gate line 2, and a second common trace 26 distributed on the other side of the gate line 2; the sub-pixel P includes: a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a third transistor T3 electrically connected to one of the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, and a first electrode portion P1, a second electrode portion P2, a third electrode portion P3, and a fourth electrode portion P4 sequentially distributed along the second direction Y; the first electrode portion P1 is electrically connected to one of the third electrode portion P3 and the fourth electrode portion P4 to form a first connecting sub-pixel electrode P11, for example, as Figure 5A In this configuration, the first electrode portion P1 is electrically connected to the fourth electrode portion P4 to form the first connecting sub-pixel electrode P11; the second electrode portion P2 is electrically connected to another of the third electrode portion P3 and the fourth electrode portion P4 to form the second connecting sub-pixel electrode P12, for example, as shown below. Figure 5AIn the process, the second electrode portion P2 and the third electrode portion P3 are electrically connected to form the second connecting sub-pixel electrode P12; wherein, in the sub-pixel row, the first connecting sub-pixel electrodes P11 of multiple sub-pixels P are alternately electrically connected to the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2; the second connecting sub-pixel electrodes P12 of multiple sub-pixels P are alternately electrically connected to the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2; and in the same sub-pixel, the first connecting sub-pixel electrode P11 and the second connecting sub-pixel electrode P12 are electrically connected to different transistors.

[0132] In this embodiment, the connection position of the third transistor T3 is fixed. By adjusting the connection relationship between the first connecting sub-pixel electrode P11 and the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, and the connection relationship between the second connecting sub-pixel electrode P1 and the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, the first connecting sub-pixel electrode P11 can be made to be the main pixel part PA or the auxiliary pixel part PB, and the second connecting sub-pixel electrode P12 can be made to be the main pixel part PA or the auxiliary pixel part PB. Furthermore, the first connecting sub-pixel electrode P11 is alternately electrically connected to the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, and the second connecting sub-pixel electrodes P12 of the multiple sub-pixels P are alternately electrically connected to the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, so that the main pixel part PA and the auxiliary pixel part PB can be arranged alternately, thereby achieving the effect of both improving transmittance and improving color shift.

[0133] Specifically, the orthographic projection of the first transistor T1 onto the substrate 1 can be distributed in the first region S1 (the first region S1 may include: gate line 2, first common trace 25, and the region between gate line 2 and first common trace 25). That is, the orthographic projection of the first transistor T1 onto the substrate 1 may overlap with the orthographic projection of the gate line 2 onto the substrate 1, overlap with the orthographic projection of the first common trace 25 onto the substrate 1, and overlap with the orthographic projection of the region between gate line 2 and first common trace 25 onto the substrate 1. The orthographic projection of the second transistor T2 onto the substrate 1 can be distributed in the second region S2 (the second region S2 may include: gate line 2, second common trace 26, and the region between gate line 2 and second common trace 26). That is, the orthographic projection of the first transistor T1 onto the substrate 1 may overlap with the orthographic projection of the gate line 2 onto the substrate 1, overlap with the orthographic projection of the second common trace 26 onto the substrate 1, and overlap with the orthographic projection of the region between gate line 2 and second common trace 26 onto the substrate 1.

[0134] Specifically, in a sub-pixel row, the third transistor T3 can be electrically connected only to the second transistor T2, such as... Figure 5A As shown; in another possible implementation, the third transistor T3 may also be electrically connected only to the first transistor T1.

[0135] In one possible implementation, see Figures 5A-5FAs shown, the first electrode portion P1 is electrically connected to the fourth electrode portion P4, and the second electrode portion P2 is electrically connected to the third electrode portion P3. In another possible embodiment, see... Figures 6A-6F As shown, the first electrode part P1 is electrically connected to the third electrode part P3, and the second electrode part P2 is electrically connected to the fourth electrode part P4.

[0136] In one possible implementation, see Figures 5A-5F As shown, the array substrate further includes a first connecting portion P5 extending along the second direction Y, and a second connecting portion P6; one end of the first connecting portion P5 is electrically connected to the first electrode portion P1, and the other end is electrically connected to the fourth electrode portion P4; one end of the second connecting portion P6 is electrically connected to the second electrode portion P2, and the other end is electrically connected to the third electrode portion P3. This achieves the electrical connection between the first electrode portion P1 and the fourth electrode portion P4, and the electrical connection between the second electrode portion P2 and the third electrode portion P3.

[0137] For details, see Figures 5A-5F As shown, the first connection portion P5 extends along the second direction Y, and its orthographic projection on the substrate 1 is located on the side of the second electrode portion P2 and the third electrode portion P3; the second connection portion P5 extends along the second direction Y, and its orthographic projection on the substrate 1 is located in the region between the first common trace 25 and the second common trace 26.

[0138] In one possible implementation, see Figures 5A-5F As shown, the array substrate also includes: a first connection protrusion P7 connected to the first connection portion P5 and protruding toward the third transistor T3.

[0139] On the sub-pixel row, the first connecting protrusion P7 is alternately electrically connected to the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2. This achieves the alternating electrical connection of the first connecting sub-pixel electrode P11 and the second connecting sub-pixel electrode P12 to the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2.

[0140] In one possible implementation, see Figures 5A-5F As shown, on the sub-pixel row, the outer edge extensions of adjacent first connecting protrusions P7 along the first direction X do not coincide.

[0141] In one possible implementation, see Figures 6A-6F As shown, the first electrode portion P1 is electrically connected to the third electrode portion P3 to form the first connecting sub-pixel electrode P11; the second electrode portion P2 is electrically connected to the fourth electrode portion P4 to form the second connecting sub-pixel electrode P12.

[0142] In one possible implementation, see Figures 6A-6FAs shown, the array substrate further includes: a third connecting portion P8 extending along the second direction Y, and a fourth connecting portion P9; one end of the third connecting portion P8 is electrically connected to the first electrode portion P1, and the other end is electrically connected to the side of the third electrode portion P3 facing the second electrode portion P2; one end of the fourth connecting portion P9 is electrically connected to the second electrode portion P2, and the other end is electrically connected to the fourth electrode portion P4. Optionally, combined with Figure 6A Figure 6D ,and Figure 6F As shown, the orthographic projection of the fourth connection P9 onto the substrate 1 overlaps with the second electrode T2b of the second transistor; the orthographic projection of the fourth connection P9 onto the substrate 1 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the third common trace 27 onto the substrate 1; and the orthographic projection of the third connection P8 onto the substrate 1 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the third common trace 27 onto the substrate 1.

[0143] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 6A Figure 6D ,and Figure 6F As shown, in a sub-pixel P (such as...) Figure 6F In the left sub-pixel P), one end of the third connecting portion P8 is electrically connected to the end of the first electrode portion P1 facing the second electrode portion P2, and it passes around one side of the second electrode portion P2 and is electrically connected to the end of the third electrode portion P3 facing the second electrode portion P2. That is, the third connecting portion P8 is located on the right edge of the sub-pixel P; in another adjacent sub-pixel P (such as... Figure 6F In the middle sub-pixel P), one end of the third connecting part P8 is electrically connected to the end of the first electrode part P1 facing the second electrode part P2, and passes through the area between the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3, and passes around one side of the second electrode part P2 to be electrically connected to the third electrode part P3. That is, the third connecting part P8 is located on the left edge of the sub-pixel P.

[0144] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 6A Figure 6D ,and Figure 6F As shown, in a sub-pixel P (such as...) Figure 6F In the left sub-pixel P), one end of the fourth connecting part P9 is electrically connected to the end of the second electrode part P2 facing the third electrode part P3, and passes through the area between the first transistor T1 and the third transistor T3, and around one side of the third electrode part P3 to be electrically connected to the fourth electrode part P4. That is, the fourth connecting part P9 is located on the left edge of the sub-pixel P; in another adjacent sub-pixel P (such as... Figure 6F In the middle sub-pixel P, one end of the fourth connecting part P9 is electrically connected to the end of the second electrode part P2 facing the third electrode part P3, and is electrically connected to the end of the fourth electrode part P4 facing the third electrode part P3 around one side of the third electrode part P3. That is, the fourth connecting part P9 is located on the right edge of the sub-pixel P.

[0145] For details, see Figures 6A-6F As shown, the third connection portion P8 extends along the second direction Y, and its orthographic projection on the substrate 1 is located on the side of the second electrode portion P2; the fourth connection portion P9, its orthographic projection on the substrate 1, is partially located in the region between the first common trace 25 and the second common trace 26, and partially located on the side of the third electrode portion P3.

[0146] In one possible implementation, see Figure 7 As shown, the plurality of sub-pixels includes: a sub-pixel column extending along the second direction Y and arranged along the first direction X; in the sub-pixel column, the main pixel portion PA and the auxiliary pixel portion PB are arranged alternately. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the alternating arrangement of the main pixel portion PA and the auxiliary pixel portion PB in the sub-pixel column can form a 2P8D effect of mutual compensation of brightness and darkness in two sub-pixels in the first direction X, and at the same time, a mutual compensation of brightness and darkness effect can also be formed in the second direction Y, thereby achieving the effect of both improving transmittance and improving color shift.

[0147] In one possible implementation, see Figure 8 As shown, the plurality of sub-pixels includes: a sub-pixel column extending along the second direction Y and arranged along the first direction; in the sub-pixel column, two main pixel portions PA and two auxiliary pixel portions PB are arranged alternately. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the alternating arrangement of two main pixel portions PA and two auxiliary pixel portions PB in the sub-pixel column can also form a 2P8D effect of mutual brightness and darkness compensation in the two sub-pixels in the first direction X, while the second direction Y can also form a brightness and darkness compensation effect, thereby achieving the effect of both improving transmittance and improving color shift.

[0148] In one possible implementation, see Figures 9A-9H As shown, the array substrate further includes: a first electrode layer 7; the first electrode layer 7 includes: a first electrode connection portion 71, a first cutout 72, and a second cutout 73; the orthographic projection of the first cutout 72 onto the substrate 1 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first sub-pixel electrode 41 onto the substrate 1; the orthographic projection of the second cutout 73 onto the substrate 1 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second sub-pixel electrode 42 onto the substrate 1. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, for a VA display panel with a pixel electrode layer on the array substrate and a common electrode layer on the opposing substrate, the pressure difference at the locations with the first cutout 72 and the second cutout 73 within the same pixel electrode is different from that at the locations without the first cutout 72 and the second cutout 73, which allows for more uniform liquid crystal twisting, reduces dark lines corresponding to the pixel electrode, reduces the width of the black matrix, and improves the transmittance of the display panel; in addition, besides the vertical electric field formed by the pixel electrode and the common electrode, the pixel electrode and the first electrode layer 7 form a lateral electric field within the array substrate, which can increase the deflection direction of the liquid crystal and improve the color shift problem of the display panel.

[0149] In one possible implementation, see Figures 9A-9H As shown, the first electrode layer 7 further includes a third cutout 74, so that the first sub-pixel electrode 41 (or the second sub-pixel electrode 42, or the first electrode portion P1, or the second electrode portion P2, or the third electrode portion P3, or the fourth electrode portion P4) above the first electrode layer 7 is connected to the second electrode of the first transistor T1b or the second electrode of the second transistor T2b below the first electrode layer 7 at the third cutout 74.

[0150] Specifically, the first electrode layer 7 can be located between the substrate 1 and the pixel electrode layer. Specifically, the first electrode layer 7 can have the same signal applied as the common electrode layer of the opposing substrate. The first electrode layer 7 can specifically be a transparent electrode layer, and the material of the first electrode layer 7 can specifically be indium tin oxide.

[0151] In one possible implementation, see Figures 9A-9G As shown, the orthographic projection of the first electrode connection portion 71 on the substrate 1 covers the orthographic projection of the data line 3 on the substrate 1. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the orthographic projection of the first electrode connection portion 71 on the substrate 1 covers the orthographic projection of the data line 3 on the substrate 1. The coupling capacitance between the pixel electrode and the data line 3 can be shielded by the first electrode connection portion 71, which can avoid setting the third common trace 27, thereby increasing the transmittance of the display panel.

[0152] In one possible implementation, it could also be in Figure 5A , Figure 6A The array substrate structure shown has a first electrode layer 7. The orthographic projection of the first cutout 72 of the first electrode layer 7 onto the substrate can overlap with the orthographic projections of the first electrode portion P1 and the second electrode portion P2 onto the substrate 1. The orthographic projection of the second cutout 73 of the first electrode layer 7 onto the substrate can overlap with the orthographic projections of the third electrode portion P3 and the fourth electrode portion P4 onto the substrate 1.

[0153] Combination Figure 1G , Figure 2G , Figure 3G , Figure 4G , Figure 5G and Figure 9J As shown, this disclosure embodiment performed optical simulations on different array substrate structures. By comparing the horizontal dark fringes in the center of the sub-pixels, it can be clearly seen that for those without the first electrode layer 7... Figure 1G , Figure 2G , Figure 3G , Figure 4G , Figure 5G The corresponding array substrate structure, wherein, Figure 1A The structure corresponding to this type of structure has the highest transmittance, with a simulated value of 6.34%; while for the corresponding array substrate structure with the first electrode layer 7 added, such as Figure 9JAs shown, the transmittance is higher, with a simulated value of 6.95%.

[0154] Based on the same inventive concept, this disclosure also provides a display panel, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 11 As shown, the array includes an array substrate as provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, and also includes a counter substrate disposed opposite to the array substrate, wherein a common electrode layer 8 is disposed on the side of the counter substrate facing the array substrate.

[0155] Specifically, the first common trace 25, the second common trace 26, the third common trace 27, and the first electrode layer 7 can be the same signal loaded as the common electrode layer 8 of the opposing substrate.

[0156] In one possible implementation, combining Figures 9A-9G as well as Figure 11 As shown, the data line 3 can be located on the side of the gate line 2 away from the substrate 1, the first electrode layer 7 can be located on the side of the data line 3 away from the gate line 2, and the pixel electrode (including the first electrode portion P1, the second electrode portion P2, the third electrode portion P3, and the fourth electrode portion P4) can be located on the side of the first electrode layer 7 away from the data line 3. A gate insulating layer can also be provided between the layer where the gate line 2 is located and the layer where the data line 3 is located. An active layer can also be provided between the gate insulating layer and the data line 3 (the active layer can include an active pattern 5, and the active layer material can be amorphous silicon, low-temperature polycrystalline silicon, metal oxide, etc., which are not limited here). A first insulating layer 91 can also be provided between the data line 3 and the first electrode layer 7, and a second insulating layer 92 can be provided between the first electrode layer 7 and the pixel electrode.

[0157] In one possible implementation, combining Figures 9A-9I as well as Figure 11 As shown, the display panel can also be provided with a black matrix 6. The orthogonal projection of the black matrix 6 onto the substrate 1 can cover the orthogonal projection of the gate line 2 onto the substrate 1, and also cover the orthogonal projection of the data line 3 onto the substrate 1. Specifically, the opposing substrate can include an opposing substrate 80, and the black matrix 6 can be located between the opposing substrate 80 and the common electrode layer 8. Figure 11 (Not shown in the image).

[0158] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 11As shown, the first electrode layer 7 is located on the side of the pixel electrode (including the first electrode portion P1, the second electrode portion P2, the third electrode portion P3, and the fourth electrode portion P4) away from the opposing substrate. In this common embodiment, the first electrode layer 7, located on the side of the pixel electrode away from the opposing substrate, can isolate (or shield) the first overlap capacitance between the pixel electrode and the gate line 2 and the second overlap capacitance between the pixel electrode and the data line 3, greatly reducing the risk of crosstalk. Simultaneously, the presence of the first electrode layer 7 reduces the distance between the pixel electrodes, causing overlap between the pixel electrode and the gate line 2, and overlap between the pixel electrode and the data line 3, reducing the risk of liquid crystal leakage. This reduces the width of the black matrix, increases the pixel aperture ratio, and improves the pixel transmittance.
