They are intended solely to illustrate the present disclosure. The same or similar reference numerals throughout the text represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, the present disclosure omits detailed descriptions of known functions and known components.

The words "first", "second" and similar terms used in the present disclosure and the claims do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Words such as "include" or "comprise" mean that the elements or objects preceding the word include the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects.

The term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0053] Competition in the display industry is increasingly fierce, and cost reduction is becoming increasingly important. Compared to conventional solutions that use one data line to drive a column of sub-pixels, dual-gate products use a single data line to drive multiple columns of sub-pixels simultaneously. This reduces the number of data lines, the total number of driver ICs, and significantly lowers material costs. Dual-gate products are particularly suitable for medium- and large-sized products such as automotive displays and TVs.

[0054] Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the pixel arrangement of the dual-gate product provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1It can be seen that the dual-gate product includes data lines (such as D1, D2, D3, etc.), transistors (TFT), and gate lines (such as G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7, G8, etc.), and the data lines (such as D1, D2, D3, etc.) and transistors (TFT) have overlapping areas with the gate lines (such as G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7, G8, etc.). In some embodiments, the source / drain of the transistor (TFT) and the data line (e.g., D1, D2, D3, etc.) are arranged in the same layer and the same material, the gate of the transistor (TFT) and the gate line (e.g., G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7, G8, etc.) are arranged in the same layer and the same material, and an insulating layer is provided between the layer where the data line (e.g., D1, D2, D3, etc.) is located and the layer where the gate line (e.g., G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7, G8, etc.) is located; however, there is an insulating layer between the data line (e.g., D1, D2, D3, etc.) and the gate line (e.g., G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7, G8, etc.) are located. 3. In the process of G4, G5, G6, G7, G8, etc., conductive particles may remain due to incomplete development and etching. The conductive particles pierce the insulating layer, which may cause overlapping data lines (such as D1, D2, D3, etc.) to short-circuit with gate lines (such as G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7, G8, etc.), or cause overlapping transistors (TFTs) to short-circuit with gate lines (such as G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7, G8, etc.), causing the product to malfunction and affecting the product yield.

[0055] In order to solve the above technical problems existing in the related art, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an array substrate, such as Figures 2 to 9 Shown, including:

[0056] Base substrate 101, optionally, the base substrate 101 is a substrate that allows visible light to pass through, such as glass, quartz, plastic, etc.;

[0057] A plurality of pixel electrodes 102 are arranged in an array on the base substrate 101; optionally, the pixel electrodes 102 are made of the same material, such as a transparent conductive material such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), aluminum zinc oxide (AZO), or gallium zinc oxide (GZO);

[0058] A plurality of gate lines 103 extend along a first direction X at the gaps between the pixel electrodes 102, where the first direction X is a row direction or a column direction. The present disclosure takes the first direction X as the row direction as an example for illustration. The gate lines 103 include a bent portion 1031 protruding toward the side where the adjacent pixel electrodes 102 are located. Two gate lines 103 are provided in the gaps between two adjacent pixel electrodes 102 arranged along the second direction Y. The bent portions 1031 of the two gate lines 103 are oppositely arranged to form an accommodating space AS. The second direction Y intersects with the first direction X. The present disclosure takes the second direction Y as the column direction as an example for illustration. Optionally, the material of the gate lines 103 may include metals such as molybdenum (Mo), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), and nickel (Ni). The gate lines 103 may have a single-layer structure or a stacked-layer structure. For example, the gate lines 103 may have a single-layer structure composed of a copper metal layer.

[0059] A plurality of data lines 104 extend along the second direction Y at the gaps between the pixel electrodes 102; the orthographic projections of the data lines 104 on the base substrate 101 extend through the orthographic projections of the accommodating spaces AS on the base substrate 101; optionally, the material of the data lines 104 may include metals such as molybdenum (Mo), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), and nickel (Ni), and the data lines 104 may have a single-layer structure or a stacked-layer structure. For example, the data lines 103 may have a stacked-layer structure consisting of a titanium metal layer / an aluminum metal layer / a titanium metal layer;

[0060] A plurality of transistors 105 are located in the gap between two adjacent pixel electrodes 102 arranged along the second direction Y. The orthographic projection of the transistor 105 on the substrate 101 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the gate line 103 on the substrate 101. For example, a portion of the gate line 103 serves as the gate g of the transistor 105. The orthographic projection of the active layer a of the transistor 105 on the substrate 101 is located within the orthographic projection of the gate line 103 on the substrate 101. The orthographic projection of the first electrode s of the transistor 105 on the substrate 101 intersects with the orthographic projection of the gate line 103 on the substrate 101. The orthographic projection of the second electrode d of the transistor 105 on the substrate 101 intersects with the orthographic projection of the gate line 103 on the substrate 101. Optionally, the first electrode s is a source and the second electrode d is a drain, or the first electrode s is a drain and the second electrode d is a source. The material of the active layer a can be amorphous silicon a-Si, polycrystalline silicon Poly, indium gallium zinc oxide IGZO, etc. The transistor 105 can be Figure 4The bottom-gate transistor shown may also be a top-gate transistor or a double-gate transistor, and the transistor 105 may be a P-type transistor or an N-type transistor, which is not limited here; in some embodiments, the first electrode d of the transistor 105 is coupled to the data line 104 (for example, the first electrode d and the data line 104 are integrally arranged), and a partial orthographic projection of the first electrode d of the transistor 105 on the base substrate 101 is located within the orthographic projection of the accommodating space AS on the base substrate 101.

[0061] In the above-mentioned array substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the bent portions 1031 contained in the two gate lines 103 are opposite to each other at the same gap extending along the first direction X to form a larger accommodating space AS, when a data line 104 and a gate line 103 are short-circuited, the data line 104 at the short-circuited position can be removed (for example, by laser cutting), and holes are respectively punched (for example, by laser drilling) within the larger accommodating space AS and in a larger area between two adjacent pixel electrodes 102 arranged along the first direction X, and then a conductive material is sprayed between the two holes to form a bridge line 106, so that the data line 104 that is disconnected due to being cut off at the short-circuited position is connected through the bridge line 106 to ensure smooth flow of data signals. Based on this, Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the array substrate may further include at least one bridge line 106, at least one data line 104 is missing in at least one overlapping region with the gate line 103, and the bridge line 106 is connected to the data line 104 within the accommodating space AS and the data line 104 between two adjacent pixel electrodes 102 arranged along the first direction X. In this way, the short circuit problem between the gate line 103 and the data line 104 can be solved, thereby improving product yield.

[0062] In addition, when the first electrode s and / or the second electrode d of the transistor 105 is short-circuited with the gate line 103, the first electrode s can be cut off within the larger accommodation space AS, ensuring that the scanning signal of the gate line 103 is not interfered with; optionally, the present disclosure uses the pixel electrode 102 coupled to the transistor 105 with the first electrode s cut off as a dark spot. Since there are fewer dark spots, it hardly affects the display effect. In this way, the problem of the first electrode s and / or the second electrode d of the transistor 105 being short-circuited with the gate line 103 is solved, and the product yield is improved. In addition, by Figure 3 and Figure 4It can be seen that the positive projection of the active layer a of the transistor 105 on the base substrate 101 is located within the positive projection of the gate line 103 on the base substrate 101. Therefore, the active layer a may also be short-circuited with the gate line 103 due to the residual conductive particles. At this time, the first pole s can also be cut off in a larger accommodating space AS to ensure that the scanning signal of the gate line 103 is not interfered with. In some embodiments, the pixel electrode 102 coupled to the transistor 105 with the first pole s cut off can be used as a dark spot. Since there are fewer dark spots, it hardly affects the display effect. In this way, the problem of the active layer a of the transistor 105 being short-circuited with the gate line 103 is solved, and the product yield is improved. Based on this, Figure 12 As shown, in the above-mentioned array substrate provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, there may be at least one transistor 105 whose first electrode s, second electrode d, and active layer a are short-circuited with the gate line 103, and the first electrode s of the transistor 105 is disconnected in the accommodating space AS.

[0063] In some embodiments, in the above array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, if Figure 3 As shown, within the same accommodation space AS, the data line 104 is coupled to the first electrodes s of the two transistors 105. The coupling positions of the first electrodes s of the two transistors 105 and the data line 104 are separated on both sides of the data line 104 and staggered in the second direction Y. When the coupling positions of the first electrodes s of the two transistors 105 and the data line 104 are collinear in the first direction X (e.g. Figure 3 In the case of the L line shown in the figure, the right transistor 105 needs to be moved upward accordingly. In this way, the width of the row gap needs to be increased accordingly, which affects the pixel aperture ratio. The present disclosure staggers the coupling positions of the first electrodes s of the two transistors 105 and the data line 104 in the second direction Y, so that the orthographic projections of the two transistors 105 in the second direction Y overlap, thereby reasonably utilizing the row gap and improving the aperture ratio.

[0064] In some embodiments, in the above array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, if Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a common voltage line 107 and a plurality of compensation lines 108 are further included. The plurality of compensation lines 108 are coupled between the second electrodes d of at least some of the transistors 105 and at least some of the pixel electrodes 102, and the orthographic projections of the plurality of compensation lines 108 on the substrate 101 at least partially overlap with the orthographic projections of the common voltage line 107 on the substrate 101. Optionally, the orthographic projections of the compensation lines 108 on the substrate 101 are located within the orthographic projections of the common voltage line 107 on the substrate 101, so that a compensation capacitor is formed between the compensation lines 108 and the common voltage line 107, ensuring that the signal pull-down levels (feed-through) of different sub-pixels are consistent, thereby improving flickering.

[0065] In some embodiments, in the above array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, if Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the base substrate 101 includes multiple red sub-pixel areas R, multiple green sub-pixel areas G and multiple blue sub-pixel areas B, and multiple pixel electrodes 102 are located in the multiple red sub-pixel areas R, multiple green sub-pixel areas G and multiple blue sub-pixel areas B; multiple compensation lines 108 are coupled to the pixel electrodes 102 in the multiple red sub-pixel areas R and the multiple green sub-pixel areas G.

[0066] The counter substrate (also known as the color filter substrate CF) includes multiple red color resists corresponding to multiple red sub-pixel regions R, multiple green color resists corresponding to multiple green sub-pixel regions G, and multiple blue color resists corresponding to multiple blue sub-pixel regions, as well as a common electrode located on the side of the multiple red, green, and blue color resists facing the array substrate. Because the thickness of the red and green color resists is similar (for example, exactly the same or within a ±5% error range due to factors such as manufacturing and measurement), and the blue color resist is thicker than the red color resist, the cell gap in the blue sub-pixel region B is smaller, and the capacitance between the pixel electrode 102 and the common electrode in the blue sub-pixel region B is larger. As a result, the signal pull-down degree of the pixel electrode 102 in the blue sub-pixel region B is greater than that of the pixel electrodes 102 in the red and green sub-pixel regions G. When adjacent sub-pixels are driven by alternating positive (+) and negative (-) signal loading, image flickering may occur. The present disclosure sets compensation lines 108 coupled to pixel electrodes 102 in multiple red sub-pixel regions R and multiple green sub-pixel regions G. The compensation capacitor formed by the compensation line 108 and the common voltage line 107 can be used to compensate the pixel electrode 102, ensuring that the signal pull-down degree of the pixel electrode 102 in the blue sub-pixel region B after compensation is similar to the signal pull-down degree of the pixel electrode 102 in the red sub-pixel region B and the green sub-pixel region G, thereby improving or even avoiding poor screen flickering.

[0067] In some embodiments, in the above array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, if Figure 2 、 Figures 7 to 9As shown, it may also include multiple connecting lines 109, which are coupled between the second pole d of the transistor 105 and the pixel electrode 102. Optionally, the connecting line 109 is integrally arranged with the second pole d of the transistor 105, and is coupled to the pixel electrode 102 through a first via h1 penetrating the first insulating layer; and in order to simplify the manufacturing process, in the present disclosure, multiple compensation lines 108 are integrally arranged with at least part of the connecting lines 109. For example, in the present disclosure, multiple compensation lines 108 are integrally arranged with multiple connecting lines 109 of multiple red sub-pixel areas B and multiple green sub-pixel areas G, so as to compensate for multiple pixel electrodes 102 of multiple red sub-pixel areas B and multiple green sub-pixel areas G through the compensation capacitors formed by the multiple compensation lines 108 and the common voltage line 107.

[0068] In some embodiments, in the above array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, if Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the connection line 109 includes a first sub-connection line 1091 extending along the first direction X, and the first sub-connection line 1091 is coupled between the second pole d of the transistor 105 and the pixel electrode 102. Optionally, the first sub-connection line 1091 is integrally arranged with the second pole d of the transistor 105, and the positive projection of the first sub-connection line 1091 on the base substrate 101 is located within the positive projection of the common voltage line 107 on the base substrate 101; to avoid affecting the aperture ratio, the compensation line 109 can be arranged on the extension line of at least one end of the first sub-connection line 1091. The present disclosure takes the compensation line 109 being located on the extension line of both ends of the first sub-connection line 1091 as an example for illustration; optionally, the compensation line 109 is integrally arranged with the first sub-connection line 1091.

[0069] In some embodiments, in the above array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, if Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the connection line 109 further includes a second sub-connection line 1092 extending along the second direction Y, the second sub-connection line 1092 is coupled between the first sub-connection line 1091 and the pixel electrode 102, and the extension line of the second sub-connection line 1092 passes through the central area of ​​the pixel electrode 102. Figure 13 As shown, the central area of ​​the pixel electrode 102 has dark lines due to disordered liquid crystal arrangement. In the present disclosure, the second sub-connection line 1092 is extended through the central area of ​​the pixel electrode 102 to make the second sub-connection line 1092 located in the dark line area, thereby avoiding affecting the transmittance of the pixel electrode 102. Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figures 7 to 9As shown, the second sub-connection line 1092 is integrally arranged with the first sub-connection line 1091, and the second sub-connection line 1092 is coupled to the pixel electrode 102 through the first via hole h1; at the first via hole h1, the second sub-connection line 1092 is a widened block structure, and the common voltage line 107 (specifically the first sub-common voltage line 1071) is also a widened block structure, forming a storage capacitor between the two.

[0070] In some embodiments, in the above array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, if Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the common voltage line 107 includes a first sub-common voltage line 1071 extending along the first direction X. The extension line of the first sub-common voltage line 1071 passes through the central area of ​​the pixel electrode 102. Since the central area of ​​the pixel electrode 102 has dark lines (such as Figure 13 As shown), the present disclosure allows the first sub-common voltage line 1071 to be located in the dark stripe area by extending the first sub-common voltage line 1071 through the central area of ​​the pixel electrode 102, thereby avoiding affecting the transmittance of the pixel electrode 102.

[0071] In some embodiments, in the above array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, if Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the common voltage line 107 can be provided in the same layer and with the same material as the gate line 103, and the common voltage line 107 can further include a hollow structure HS extending along the second direction Y. The orthographic projection of the hollow structure HS on the base substrate 101 covers the orthographic projection of the data line 104 between adjacent pixel electrodes 102 on the base substrate 101, so as to reduce the overlapping area between the common voltage line 107 and the data line 104, thereby reducing the parasitic capacitance between the common voltage line 107 and the data line 104, and reducing the probability of short circuit between the common voltage line 107 and the data line 104. Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figures 7 to 9 It can be seen that the common voltage lines 107 of adjacent rows are disconnected at the gate line 103 and are electrically connected through the jumper line 110; optionally, the jumper line 110 is set in the same layer and material as the pixel electrode 102, and the jumper line 110 is coupled to the common voltage line 107 through the second via h2 of the first insulating layer 111 and the second insulating layer 112.

[0072] In some embodiments, the material of the first insulating layer 111 may be an inorganic insulating material and / or an organic insulating material. Inorganic insulating materials include, but are not limited to, at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, and silicon oxynitride. Organic insulating materials include, but are not limited to, at least one of polyacrylic resin, polyepoxy acrylic resin, photosensitive polyimide resin, polyester acrylate, polyurethane acrylate resin, and novolac epoxy acrylic resin. The material of the second insulating layer 112 may be at least one of inorganic insulating materials such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, and silicon oxynitride.

[0073] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display panel, such as Figure 14 As shown, it includes the above-mentioned array substrate 001 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and an opposing substrate 002 arranged opposite to the array substrate 001. Optionally, the opposing substrate 002 includes a common electrode 201, and the common electrode 201 can be provided on the entire surface of the display area AA. In some embodiments, the opposing substrate 002 also includes a plurality of red color resists 203, a plurality of green color resists (not shown in the figure), and a plurality of blue color resists (not shown in the figure) located between the substrate 202 and the layer where the common electrode 201 is located. Two adjacent color resists can be separated from each other by a black matrix 204; wherein, in the vertical direction of the base substrate 101: the size of the blue color resist is larger than the size of the red color resist, and the size of the green color resist, and the size of the red color resist is approximately the same as the size of the green color resist.

[0074] It should be noted that in the embodiments provided in the present disclosure, due to the limitations of process conditions or the influence of other factors such as measurement, "approximately the same" may be completely equivalent, or there may be some deviations (for example, a deviation of ±5%). Therefore, as long as the "approximately the same" relationship between related features meets the error allowance, it falls within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0075] In some embodiments, as Figure 14 As shown, in the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, a liquid crystal layer 003 may be further provided between the array substrate 001 and the counter substrate 002, a first alignment layer may be provided on the side of the array substrate 001 facing the counter substrate 002, a first polarizer may be provided on the side of the array substrate 001 away from the counter substrate 002, a second alignment layer may be provided on the side of the counter substrate 002 away from the array substrate 001, and a second polarizer may be provided on the side of the counter substrate 002 away from the array substrate 001, wherein the polarization direction of the first polarizer is perpendicular to the polarization direction of the second polarizer. Other essential components of the display panel are well understood by those skilled in the art and are not described in detail here, nor should they be construed as limitations of the present disclosure.

[0076] Based on the same inventive concept, the present disclosure provides a display device, such as Figure 15 As shown, it includes the above-mentioned display panel PNL provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, and a backlight module BLU located on the light incident side of the display panel PNL. The backlight module BLU can be a direct-type backlight module or an edge-type backlight module. Optionally, the edge-type backlight module may include a light bar, a stacked reflective sheet, a light guide plate, a diffuser, a prism group, etc., and the light bar is located on one side of the thickness direction of the light guide plate. The direct-type backlight module may include a matrix light source, a reflective sheet, a diffuser and a brightening film stacked on the light emitting side of the matrix light source, and the reflective sheet includes an opening arranged opposite to the position of each lamp bead in the matrix light source. The lamp beads in the light bar and the lamp beads in the matrix light source can be light-emitting devices (LEDs), such as quantum dot light-emitting devices (QLEDs), micro light-emitting devices (such as Mini LEDs, Micro LEDs), etc.

[0077] Among them, submillimeter-scale or even micron-scale micro-light-emitting devices are self-luminous devices, just like organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). Like organic light-emitting devices, they have a series of advantages such as high brightness, ultra-low latency, and ultra-large viewing angles. And because inorganic light-emitting devices emit light based on metal semiconductors with more stable properties and lower resistance, they have the advantages of lower power consumption, greater resistance to high and low temperatures, and longer service life compared to organic light-emitting devices that emit light based on organic matter. And when micro-light-emitting devices are used as backlight sources, they can achieve more precise dynamic backlight effects. While effectively improving the brightness and contrast of the screen, they can also solve the glare phenomenon caused by traditional dynamic backlighting between bright and dark areas of the screen, thereby optimizing the visual experience.

Optionally, the display device provided in the present disclosure includes, but is not limited to, components such as a radio frequency unit, a network module, an audio output & input unit, a sensor, a display unit, a user input unit, an interface unit, and a control chip. Optionally, the control chip is a central processing unit, a digital signal processor, a system-on-chip (SoC), etc. For example, the control chip may further include a memory, a power module, etc., and realize power supply and signal input and output functions through additionally provided wires, signal lines, etc. For example, the control chip may further include hardware circuits and computer executable code, etc. The hardware circuit may include conventional very large scale integration (VLSI) circuits or gate arrays and existing semiconductors or other discrete components such as logic chips and transistors; the hardware circuit may also include field programmable gate arrays, programmable array logic, programmable logic devices, etc. In addition, those skilled in the art will understand that the above structure does not constitute a limitation on the above display device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. In other words, the above display device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include more or fewer of the above components, or a combination of certain components, or different component arrangements.

[0079] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As can be seen, two gate lines in the same row gap (e.g., G2 and G3, G4 and G5, G6 and G7) corresponding to the same data line (e.g., D1, D2, or D3) connect to sub-pixels of different colors. When driving the product using the DLG drive method, cross-color problems will occur. Therefore, it is difficult to use the DLG drive method to improve the refresh rate. As a result, the refresh rate of ultra-high-resolution dual-gate products is relatively low and cannot meet the market demand for ultra-high refresh rates.

[0080] In order to solve the above technical problems existing in the related art, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a DLG driving method for the above array substrate, wherein the nth (n is a positive integer) gate line and the (n+j)th gate line are formed into a gate line group, j is greater than or equal to 2, and the same data line corresponding to the gate line group is connected to the sub-pixels of the same color. The DLG driving method includes:

[0081] During one frame display time, each gate line group is driven sequentially, and the gate lines of the same gate line group are driven synchronously, and the driving duration of two adjacent gate line groups is the same; wherein,

[0082] During the driving process of the current gate line group, data signals are input to the data lines, and the input of data signals is stopped after the driving of the current gate line group is completed.

[0083] In the above-mentioned driving method, since the same data line corresponding to the same gate line group is connected to the sub-pixels of the same color, when the DLG driving method is used to synchronously drive the gate lines of the same gate line group, there will be no cross-color problem. Compared with the method of driving the gate lines one by one within a frame display time, the present disclosure can shorten the total time of the gate line driving, thereby facilitating the improvement of the refresh rate, and is suitable for fast refresh of ultra-high-resolution dual-gate products.

[0084] The following takes j equal to 2 as an example to describe the DLG driving method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure in detail. Figure 1 、 Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the first gate line GL1 connected by the first clock signal CLK1 through the first-level shift register unit GOA1, and the third gate line GL3 connected by the third clock signal CLK3 through the third-level shift register unit GOA3 are the first gate line group, the second gate line GL2 connected by the second clock signal CLK2 through the second-level shift register unit GOA2, and the fourth gate line GL4 connected by the fourth clock signal CLK4 through the fourth-level shift register unit GOA4 are the second gate line group, the fifth gate line GL5 connected by the fifth clock signal CLK5 through the fifth-level shift register unit GOA5, and the seventh gate line GL7 connected by the seventh clock signal CLK7 through the seventh-level shift register unit GOA7 are the third gate line group, the sixth gate line GL6 connected by the sixth clock signal CLK6 through the sixth-level shift register unit GOA6, and the eighth gate line GL8 connected by the eighth clock signal CLK8 through the eighth-level shift register unit GOA8 are the fourth gate line group.

[0085] In some embodiments, Figure 16 As shown, G1 represents the first scanning signal loaded on the first gate line GL1, G2 represents the second scanning signal loaded on the second gate line GL2, G3 represents the third scanning signal loaded on the third gate line GL3, G4 represents the fourth scanning signal loaded on the fourth gate line GL4, G5 represents the fifth scanning signal loaded on the fifth gate line GL5, G5 represents the sixth scanning signal loaded on the sixth gate line GL6, G7 represents the seventh scanning signal loaded on the seventh gate line GL7, G8 represents the eighth scanning signal loaded on the eighth gate line GL8, and DA represents the data line (for example, Figure 1 1, 2, 3, and 4 (e.g., the first data line DL1, the second data line DL2, and the third data line DL3 shown in FIG1 ), where H represents the driving time of a row of sub-pixels. Optionally, a high level among the scanning signals G1-G6 can be used as a gate-on signal to turn on the transistors (TFTs) in the sub-pixels.

[0086] exist Figure 1 、 Figure 16 and Figure 17 In the process, the first gate line GL1 in the first gate line group is first loaded with the first scanning signal G1, and the third gate line GL3 is synchronously loaded with the third scanning signal G3, so that the transistors (TFTs) connected to the first gate line GL1 and the third gate line GL3 are synchronously turned on under the high level of the scanning signals G1 and G3; and during the high level loading process of the scanning signals G1 and G3, the data signal DA is input to the data lines (such as the first data line DL1, the second data line DL2, the third data line DL3, etc.), and the input of the data signal DA is stopped after the scanning signals G1 and G3 are changed from high level to low level, so that the sub-pixels corresponding to the first gate line GL1 and the third gate line GL3 are written with the data signal DA. Figure 1 It can be seen that the sub-pixels connected to the first gate line GL1 and the third gate line GL3 through the same data line corresponding to the transistor TFT (for example, the first data line DL1, the second data line DL2 or the third data line DL3, etc.) have the same color. Therefore, synchronously driving the first gate line GL1 and the third gate line GL3 will not cause the problem of cross-color.

[0087] Based on the same driving method, the synchronous driving of the second gate line GL2 and the fourth gate line GL4 in the second gate line group, the synchronous driving of the fifth gate line GL5 and the seventh gate line GL7 in the third gate line group, and the synchronous driving of the sixth gate line GL6 and the eighth gate line GL8 in the fourth gate line group can be completed in sequence; and during the driving process of the current gate line group, the data signal is input to the data line until the input of the data signal is stopped after the current gate line group is driven. The implementation method of the remaining sub-pixels is similarly deduced until the sub-pixels in the entire display panel are completely charged with data signals, which will not be described in detail here.

[0088] Also, see Figure 1 、 Figure 16 and Figure 17 It can be seen that the driving durations of two adjacent gate line groups are partially the same. For example, the high-level loading durations of the first scanning signal G1 of the first gate line GL1 in the first gate line group and the third scanning signal G3 of the third gate line GL3 partially overlap with the high-level loading durations of the second scanning signal G2 of the second gate line GL2 in the second gate line group and the fourth scanning signal G4 of the fourth gate line GL4. During the overlapping duration, the data signals provided to the sub-pixels corresponding to the first gate line GL1 and the third gate line GL3 can be written into the sub-pixels corresponding to the second gate line GL2 and the fourth gate line GL4 to pre-charge the sub-pixels corresponding to the second gate line GL2 and the fourth gate line GL4, thereby improving the charging rates of the sub-pixels corresponding to the second gate line GL2 and the fourth gate line GL4.

[0089] It should be noted that Figure 17 There are two frame start signals, STV0 and STV1. Because the frame start signal may be lost during the use of the product, the two frame start signals STV0 and STV1 are used to achieve double insurance and ensure the normal startup of the gate drive circuit.

[0090] On the other hand, in order to improve the refresh rate, the embodiments of the present disclosure further provide another HSR driving method for the above array substrate. For example, four adjacent gate lines are formed into a gate line group, and the same data line corresponding to the odd-numbered gate lines is connected to the sub-pixels of the same color, and the same data line corresponding to the even-numbered gate lines is connected to the sub-pixels of the same color. The HSR driving method includes:

[0091] During one frame display time, each gate line group is driven sequentially, and the first gate line, the third gate line, the second gate line, and the fourth gate line in the same gate line group are driven sequentially; the driving duration of two adjacent gate lines is partially the same; wherein,

[0092] Before the first gate line is driven and during the third gate line driving process, the first data signal starts to be input to the data line, and the input of the first data signal is stopped after the third gate line is driven; and before the second gate line is driven and during the fourth gate line driving process, the second data signal starts to be input to the data line, and the input of the second data signal is stopped after the fourth gate line is driven, and the input time of the first data signal and the input time of the second data signal are staggered.

[0093] In the above-mentioned HSR driving method, since the same data line corresponding to the first gate line and the third gate line is connected to the sub-pixels of the same color, and the same data line corresponding to the second gate line and the fourth gate line is connected to the sub-pixels of the same color, the HSR driving method is used to sequentially drive the first gate line, the third gate line, the second gate line, and the fourth gate line of the same gate line group, and the first data signal is synchronously input to the sub-pixels of the same color corresponding to the first gate line and the third gate line, and the second data signal is synchronously input to the sub-pixels of the same color corresponding to the second gate line and the fourth gate line. In this way, only the charging time of the sub-pixel corresponding to the first gate line is short and the charging time of the sub-pixel corresponding to the third gate line is long, and the charging time of the sub-pixel corresponding to the second gate line is short and the charging time of the sub-pixel corresponding to the fourth gate line is long. That is, there is only a difference in charging rate, and there will be no cross-color problem. Moreover, compared with a driving method in which the time for loading data signals on sub-pixels corresponding to different gate lines is staggered, the present disclosure can shorten the total loading time of data signals within one frame, thereby improving the refresh rate, and is suitable for fast refresh of ultra-high-resolution dual-gate products.

[0094] The following takes two gate line groups as an example to describe the driving method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure in detail. Figure 1 and Figure 18 As shown, the first gate line GL1, the second gate line GL2, the third gate line GL3, and the fourth gate line GL4 are the first gate line group, and the fifth gate line GL5, the sixth gate line GL6, the eighth gate line GL7, and the eighth gate line GL8 are the second gate line group. CLK1 represents the first clock signal provided to the first-level shift register unit GOA1 connected to the first gate line GL1, CLK2 represents the second clock signal provided to the second-level shift register unit GOA2 connected to the second gate line GL2, CLK3 represents the third clock signal provided to the third-level shift register unit GOA3 connected to the third gate line GL3, CLK4 represents the fourth clock signal provided to the fourth-level shift register unit GOA4 connected to the fourth gate line GL4, CLK5 represents the fifth clock signal provided to the fifth-level shift register unit GOA5 connected to the fifth gate line GL5, CLK6 represents the sixth clock signal provided to the sixth-level shift register unit GOA6 connected to the sixth gate line GL6, CLK7 represents the seventh clock signal provided to the seventh-level shift register unit GOA7 connected to the seventh gate line GL7, and CLK8 represents the eighth clock signal provided to the eighth-level shift register unit GOA8 connected to the eighth gate line GL8. G1 represents the first scanning signal loaded on the first gate line GL1, G2 represents the second scanning signal loaded on the second gate line GL2, G3 represents the third scanning signal loaded on the third gate line GL3, G4 represents the fourth scanning signal loaded on the fourth gate line GL4, G5 represents the fifth scanning signal loaded on the fifth gate line GL5, G5 represents the sixth scanning signal loaded on the sixth gate line GL6, G7 represents the seventh scanning signal loaded on the seventh gate line GL7, G8 represents the eighth scanning signal loaded on the eighth gate line GL8, DA1 represents the data line (for example, Figure 1 The first data line DL1, the second data line DL2, the third data line DL3, etc. shown in FIG. Figure 1 The second data signal is loaded onto the first data line DL1, the second data line DL2, the third data line DL3, and so on (as shown), where H represents the driving time of a row of sub-pixels. Optionally, a high level among the scanning signals G1-G6 can be used as a gate-on signal to control the conduction of the transistors (TFTs) in the sub-pixels.

[0095] exist Figure 18In the process, first, the first gate line GL1 in the first gate line group is loaded with the first scanning signal G1, the third gate line GL3 is loaded with the third scanning signal G3, the second gate line GL2 is loaded with the second scanning signal G2, and the fourth gate line GL4 is loaded with the fourth scanning signal G4, so that the transistors (TFTs) corresponding to the first gate line GL1, the third gate line GL3, the second gate line GL2, and the fourth gate line GL4 are turned on in sequence under the high level of the corresponding scanning signals G1, G3, G2, and G4; and before the first scanning signal G1 changes from a high level to a low level and while the third scanning signal G3 remains at a high level, the data lines (for example, the first data line DL1, The first data signal DA1 is input to the second data line DL2, the third data line DL3, etc.) until the third scanning signal G3 changes from a high level to a low level and then the input of the first data signal DA1 is stopped; and before the second scanning signal G2 changes from a high level to a low level, and while the fourth scanning signal G4 remains at a high level, the second data signal DA2 is input to the data line (for example, the first data line DL1, the second data line DL2, the third data line DL3, etc.) until the fourth scanning signal G4 changes from a high level to a low level and then the input of the second data signal DA2 is stopped, and the input time of the first data signal DA1 and the input time of the second data signal DA2 are staggered. Combined Figure 1 It can be seen that the sub-pixels connected to the same data line (for example, the first data line DL1, the second data line DL2 or the third data line DL3, etc.) corresponding to the transistor TFT by the first gate line GL1 and the third gate line GL3 have the same color. Therefore, synchronously providing the first data signal DA1 to the sub-pixels connected to the same data line (for example, the first data line DL1) corresponding to the first gate line GL1 and the third gate line GL3 will not cause the problem of cross-color. In addition, the sub-pixels connected to the same data line (for example, the first data line DL1) corresponding to the second gate line GL2 and the fourth gate line GL4 by the transistor TFT have the same color. Therefore, synchronously providing the second data signal DA2 to the sub-pixels connected to the same data line (for example, the first data line DL1, the second data line DL2 or the third data line DL3, etc.) corresponding to the first gate line GL1 and the third gate line GL3 will not cause the problem of cross-color.

[0096] Based on the same driving method, the fifth gate line GL5, the seventh gate line GL7, the sixth gate line GL6, and the eighth gate line GL8 in the second gate line group can be driven in sequence subsequently; and before the driving of the fifth gate line GL5 is completed and during the driving of the seventh gate line GL7, the third data signal is started to be input to the data line (for example, the first data line DL1, the second data line DL2, the third data line DL3, etc.), and the input of the third data signal is stopped after the driving of the seventh gate line GL7 is completed; and before the driving of the sixth gate line GL6 is completed and during the driving of the eighth gate line GL8, the fourth data signal is started to be input to the data line (for example, the first data line DL1, the second data line DL2, the third data line DL3, etc.), and the input of the fourth data signal is stopped after the driving of the eighth gate line GL8 is completed, and the input time of the third data signal is staggered with the input time of the fourth data signal; the implementation methods of the remaining sub-pixels are analogous until the sub-pixels in the entire display panel are completely charged with data signals, which will not be repeated here.

[0097] Also, see Figure 1 and Figure 18 It can be seen that the driving durations of two adjacent gate lines are partially the same. For example, the high-level loading durations of the first scanning signal G1 of the first gate line GL1 and the second scanning signal G3 of the second gate line GL2 partially overlap, and within the overlapping duration, the first data signal DA1 provided to the sub-pixel corresponding to the first gate line GL1 can be written into the sub-pixel corresponding to the second gate line GL2 to pre-charge the sub-pixel corresponding to the second gate line GL2, thereby improving the charging rate of the second gate line GL2 and the corresponding sub-pixel.
