[0002] With the development of liquid crystal display technology, narrow-bezel display screens have become the main trend in the development of high-quality display screens due to their advantages such as simplicity, beauty, and large visible area for the same size. A liquid crystal display panel mainly drives the deflection of liquid crystal molecules by forming a voltage difference between a pixel electrode and a common electrode on an array substrate, thereby emitting light of different brightnesses for image display.

[0003] However, there are many parasitic capacitances inside the array substrate. Parasitic capacitances exist between the data line and the liquid crystal, between the data lines, and between the data line and the scan line. This causes the data voltage to be affected by the parasitic capacitance when controlling the deflection of the liquid crystal, resulting in the emitted brightness being different from the preset brightness and affecting the normal display of the display panel. For example, an excessive parasitic capacitance may cause problems such as abnormal color display and Mura during the display process of the panel.

[0053] In the existing liquid crystal display panel, parasitic capacitance inside the array substrate can cause problems such as abnormal color display and Mura in the display panel.

[0054] To address the above problems, an array substrate and a liquid crystal display device are proposed.

[0055] An array substrate includes a common electrode layer 400 (VITO); as Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the film layer structure of the common electrode layer 400 (VITO) of the array substrate in the present utility model; the common electrode layer 400 (VITO) includes a first set of slotted areas 410 and a second set of slotted areas 420; the first set of slotted areas 410 is used to reduce the parasitic capacitance between the common electrode layer 400 (VITO) and the SD layer 300; the second set of slotted areas 420 is used to form an electric field between the common electrode layer 400 (VITO) and the pixel electrode layer 500 to flip the liquid crystal; the first set of slotted areas 410 and the second set of slotted areas 420 are formed at intervals on the common electrode layer 400 (VITO). By forming the first set of slotted areas 410 on the common electrode layer 400 (VITO), the parasitic capacitance between the common electrode layer 400 (VITO) and the SD layer 300 can be effectively reduced, the load can be decreased, and the problem of uneven display caused by parasitic capacitance can be improved.

[0056] In the design of a display panel, the design of pixels determines the display quality of the display panel. The design of pixels needs to consider the driving ability of the IC. If the parasitic capacitance between each trace is too large, resulting in an excessive pixel Loading, the IC may not be able to drive all the pixels, leading to problems such as abnormal color display, light leakage, and Mura.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first set of slotted areas 410 can effectively reduce the parasitic capacitance between the common electrode layer 400 (VITO) and the SD layer 300. It should be noted that, under the condition of meeting the functional requirements, multiple slotted areas can also be set to reduce the parasitic capacitance.

[0058] In the embodiment of this application, as Figures 1-6 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the film layer structure of the gate layer 100 (gate) of the array substrate in the present utility model, Figure 2Schematic diagram of the film layer structure of the ISLAND layer 200 of the array substrate in the present utility model. Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the film layer structure of the SD layer 300 of the array substrate in the present utility model. Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the film layer structure of the pixel electrode layer 500 (PITO) of the array substrate in the present utility model. Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the film layer structure of the black matrix 600 (BM) layer of the array substrate in the present utility model; the array substrate further includes a buffer layer, an insulating layer, a planarizing layer, and a passivation layer; the insulating layer is fabricated on the buffer layer, the planarizing layer is fabricated on the insulating layer, and the passivation layer is fabricated on the planarizing layer. The array substrate further includes an SD layer 300, a pixel electrode layer 500 (PITO), and a black matrix 600 (BM) layer; the SD layer 300 is formed in the planarizing layer, the common electrode layer 400 (VITO) is formed in the passivation layer, the pixel electrode layer 500 (PITO) is formed on the passivation layer, and the black matrix 600 (BM) layer is formed on the pixel electrode layer 500 (PITO).

[0059] The film formation sequence is, from bottom to top, the gate layer 100 (gate), the ISLAND layer 200, the SD layer 300, the common electrode layer 400 (VITO), the pixel electrode layer 500 (PITO), and the black matrix 600 (BM) layer.

[0060] The SD layer 300 includes a source data trace 310 and a drain data trace 320. By setting the first set of slotted areas 410, the parasitic capacitance between the common electrode layer 400 (VITO) and the source data trace 310 of the SD layer 300 is effectively reduced, the load is lowered, and uneven display of the display device is avoided.

[0061] Such as Figure 4 , the first set of slotted areas 410 includes a plurality of square holes; the plurality of square holes are arranged vertically and aligned in sequence; the vertical height of the first set of slotted areas 410 is less than or equal to the vertical height of the second set of slotted areas 420.

[0062] In this embodiment, in order to avoid light leakage, the first set of slotted areas 410 respectively correspond to the source trace of the SD layer 300 and the frame 610 of the black matrix 600 (BM) layer. The square holes have the same shape, are arranged vertically in sequence, and the width and height of the square holes are less than the width and height of the frame 610 of the black matrix 600 (BM) layer. The first set of slotted areas 410 and the second set of slotted areas 420 provided are respectively covered by the corresponding black matrix 600 (BM) layer and pixel electrode layer 500 (PITO), avoiding light leakage.

[0063] It should be noted that, when the functional requirements are met, the openings of the first set of slotted areas 410 can be of various shapes and are arranged vertically.

[0064] Such asFigure 4 The second set of slotted areas 420 includes: a plurality of strip-shaped holes; the plurality of strip-shaped holes are aligned in sequence from left to right. Specifically, the second set of slotted areas 420 includes: two strip-shaped holes; the two strip-shaped holes are aligned in sequence from left to right, and the width and height of the formed second set of slotted areas 420 are smaller than the width and height of the pixel electrode traces of the pixel electrode layer 500 (PITO).

[0065] It should be noted that, when the functional requirements are met, the number of strip-shaped holes can be set according to the molding requirements.

[0066] For the second set of slotted areas 420, when voltages are applied to the two poles of the pixel electrode layer 500 (PTIO) and the common electrode layer 400 (VITO), an electric field is formed between the pixel electrode layer 500 (PTIO) and the common electrode layer 400 (VITO), causing the liquid crystal to flip, so that the display panel can display normally.

[0067] Specifically, the number of the first set of slotted areas 410 is 3, and the number of the second set of slotted areas 420 is 3.

[0068] In a second aspect, a liquid crystal display device includes the array substrate of the first aspect.

[0069] Implementing the array substrate and the liquid crystal display device of the present utility model, by forming the first set of slotted areas 410 in the common electrode layer 400 (VITO), the parasitic capacitance between the common electrode layer 400 (VITO) and the SD layer 300 can be effectively reduced, the load can be reduced, and the problem of uneven display caused by the parasitic capacitance can be improved. Moreover, the first set of slotted areas 410 and the second set of slotted areas 420 are respectively covered by the corresponding black matrix 600 (BM) layer and the pixel electrode layer 500 (PITO), avoiding light leakage.

[0070] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
