[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China on June 14, 2023, with application number 202310702904.8 and invention name "Display Panel and Display Device", the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a display panel and a display device. Background Art

[0004] Photo-alignment technology (UV2A) takes its name from the multiplication of ultraviolet (UV) light with the VA method of LCD panels. This technology uses UV light to precisely manipulate the alignment of liquid crystal molecules, significantly improving light transmittance. The key to UV2A is the use of a special polymer material as an alignment film, precisely controlling the tilt of liquid crystal molecules along the direction of the UV light. Its accuracy is measured in picometers (one trillionth of a meter). The advantage of UV2A lies in the simple structure of the LCD panel, free of protrusions and slits. This "dream of LCD technicians" was explored as early as 30 years ago. Today, with the three conditions of new materials, production equipment, and a sophisticated processing process, this dream has become a reality. The simple structure of the LCD panel not only improves production efficiency but also offers numerous advantages in image quality.

[0005] Compared with the UV2A pixel design, ultra-fine photo alignment (SUVA) is an upgraded version of UV2A. The SUVA pixel design can have better response time and color shift characteristics.

Words such as "include" or "comprise" mean that the elements or objects appearing before the word include the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Words such as "connect" or "connected" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the object being described changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0099] As used herein, "about" or "approximately the same" is inclusive of the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviation for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art taking into account the measurement in question and the errors associated with the measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system).

[0104] An array substrate 1 and an opposing substrate 2 are arranged opposite to each other;

[0105] A plurality of data lines 15 are located on the array substrate 1 and extend along a first direction X;

[0106] A plurality of pixel electrodes 14 are located on the array substrate 1 , and at least one pixel electrode 14 among the plurality of pixel electrodes 14 includes: a plurality of sub-pixel electrode portions P0 arranged along a first direction X;

[0107] A first electrode 12 is located on the array substrate 1. The first electrode 12 includes a plurality of first hollow portions L1. The orthographic projections of the first hollow portions L1 on the array substrate 1 are located within the orthographic projections of the sub-pixel electrode portions P0 on the array substrate 1. Specifically, the first hollow portions L1 and the sub-pixel electrode portions P0 may correspond one-to-one, that is, a first hollow portion L1 is provided in the region corresponding to each sub-pixel electrode portion P0.

[0108] The common electrode 22 is located on the opposite substrate 2 .

[0109] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, for a display panel in a VA display mode in which an array substrate 1 is provided with a pixel electrode 14 and an opposing substrate 2 is provided with a common electrode 22, a first electrode 12 having a first hollow portion L1 is further provided on the array substrate. When displaying, at a position without the first hollow portion L1, the first electrode 12 and the pixel electrode 14 form a capacitor, which affects or divides a portion of the voltage between the pixel electrode 14 and the common electrode 22, so that the voltage at the position without the first hollow portion L1 is lower than the voltage at the position with the first hollow portion L1, thereby making the brightness at the position without the first hollow portion L1 lower than the brightness at the position with the first hollow portion L1, forming areas with different brightness within the same sub-pixel electrode portion P0, thereby realizing eight domains with different brightness. display effect, high-resolution display can be achieved, and the shape of the first hollow portion L1 can be of many kinds, which can easily achieve different proportions of light and dark areas; in addition, within the same pixel electrode 14, the pressure difference between the position with the first hollow portion L1 and the position without the first hollow portion L1 is different, which can make the liquid crystal twist more uniform, reduce the dark lines corresponding to the pixel electrode 14, reduce the width of the black matrix, and improve the transmittance of the display panel; in addition, in addition to the vertical electric field formed by the pixel electrode 14 and the common electrode 22 in the array substrate, the pixel electrode 14 and the first electrode 12 will form a horizontal electric field, which can increase the deflection direction of the liquid crystal and improve the color deviation problem of the display panel; in addition, corresponding to each sub-pixel, only one transistor is used to achieve the above effects, and the pixel structure of the display panel is simple and easy to implement.

[0110] It should be noted that in Figures 2F, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 7B, 8B, 9B, 10B, and 11B, in order to clearly illustrate the shape of the first hollow portion L1, the first hollow portion L1 and the second hollow portion L2 are represented by patterns with filling points; the area outside the first hollow portion L1 and the second hollow portion L2 serves as the effective area of ​​the first electrode 12, that is, the area outside the first hollow portion L1 and the second hollow portion L2 is the area with the physical first electrode 12, and the first hollow portion L1 and the second hollow portion L2 with filling points are the hollowed-out areas.

[0111] In a possible embodiment, in combination with Figures 1 and 2A-2J, the array substrate 1 may include: a first substrate 11, a plurality of gate lines 16 extending along the second direction Y on one side of the first substrate 11; the data line 15 may be located on the side of the gate line 16 facing away from the first substrate 11, the first electrode 12 may be located on the side of the data line 15 facing away from the gate line 16, the pixel electrode 14 may be located on the side of the first electrode 12 facing away from the data line 15, a gate insulating layer may be provided between the layer where the gate line 16 is located and the layer where the data line 15 is located, an active layer may be provided between the gate insulating layer and the data line 15 (the active layer may include an active pattern 17, and the active layer material may be amorphous silicon, low-temperature polycrystalline silicon, metal oxide, etc., which is not limited here), a first insulating layer 18 may be provided between the data line 15 and the first electrode 12, and a second insulating layer 13 may be provided between the first electrode 12 and the pixel electrode 14.

[0112] In one possible embodiment, as shown in FIG2I , the display panel may further be provided with a black matrix 23. The orthographic projection of the black matrix 23 on the array substrate 1 may cover the orthographic projection of the gate line 16 on the array substrate, and cover the orthographic projection of the data line 15 on the array substrate 1. Specifically, the counter substrate may include a second substrate 21, and the black matrix 23 may be located between the second substrate 21 and the common electrode 22.

[0113] In one possible embodiment, as shown in FIG1 , the first electrode 12 is located on the side of the pixel electrode 14 away from the opposing substrate 2. In this public embodiment, the first electrode 12 is located on the side of the pixel electrode 14 away from the opposing substrate 2, which can isolate the first overlapping capacitance Cgp between the pixel electrode 14 and the gate line 16 and the second overlapping capacitance Cpd between the pixel electrode 14 and the data line 15, thereby greatly reducing the risk of crosstalk. At the same time, due to the presence of the first electrode 12, the distance between the pixel electrodes can be reduced, so that the pixel electrode 14 overlaps with the gate line 16, and the pixel electrode 14 overlaps with the data line 15, thereby reducing the risk of liquid crystal light leakage, thereby reducing the width of the black matrix, increasing the pixel aperture ratio, and improving the pixel transmittance.

[0119] Specifically, the area defined by the intersection of the gate line 16 and the data line 15 can be used as the area where the pixel electrode 14 is located, and the sub-pixel electrode portion P0 is in the area where the pixel electrode 14 is located. At this time, the first hollow portion L1 of the first electrode 12 overlaps with the sub-pixel electrode portion P0 in the area where the pixel electrode 14 is located.

[0120] In one possible embodiment, referring to Figures 2A-2J, 3A-3C, 4A-4C, 5A-5C, 6A-6D, 7A-7C, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10C, and 11A-11D, the pixel electrode 14 further includes a connecting portion P5 connecting the second sub-pixel electrode portion P2 and the third sub-pixel electrode portion P4. The two sub-pixel electrode groups P00 of the same pixel electrode 14 are connected via the connecting portion P5.

The two connected pixel electrodes 14 are located in different columns.

[0124] In one possible implementation, as shown in Figures 12A and 12B , the gate line 16 includes a first gate line hollow 161; the orthographic projection of the first gate line hollow 161 on the array substrate 1 overlaps with the orthographic projection of a portion of the data line 15 on the array substrate 1. In the disclosed embodiment, the gate line 16 is hollowed out in the area where it overlaps with the data line 15 to prevent overlap capacitance between the two, which could affect signal transmission between the gate line 16 and the data line 15.

[0125] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 12A and 12B, the gate line 16 further includes a second gate line hollow 162, the orthographic projection of the second gate line hollow 162 on the array substrate 1 at least partially overlapping with the orthographic projection of the connection portion P5 on the array substrate 1.

[0126] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figures 2A-2J, 3A-3C, 4A-4C, 5A-5C, 6A-6D, 7A-7C, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10C, and 11A-11D, the first gate line hollow 161 and the second gate line hollow 162 can also be an integrated structure, that is, a connecting groove is opened on the gate line 16, which serves as the first gate line hollow 161 and the second gate line hollow 162 at the same time.

[0127] It should be noted that Figures 3A-3C, 4A-4C, 5A-5C, 6A-6D, 7A-7C, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10C, and 11A-11D only illustrate the stacking diagram of the array substrate and the single film layer diagram of the first electrode 12 or the pixel electrode 14. For other film layer patterns of the array substrate, they can be shown in Figures 2A-2I, and the embodiments of the present disclosure will no longer be repeated.

Specifically, for example, as shown in Figures 5A-5C and 6A-6D, the side of the rectangle extending along the first direction X is parallel to the side of the sub-pixel electrode portion P0 extending along the first direction X, that is, both extend along the first direction X; and the side of the rectangle extending along the second direction Y is parallel to the side of the sub-pixel electrode portion P0 extending along the second direction Y, that is, both extend along the second direction Y.

[0132] It should be noted that the outer edge of the sub-pixel electrode portion P0 can be the actual outer edge of the pixel electrode, or it can be the extension line of the branch electrode end of the pixel electrode (for example, the pixel electrode is comb-shaped, and the outer edge of the sub-pixel electrode portion P0 can be the extension line of the branch electrode end).

[0133] In one possible embodiment, referring to Figures 5A-5C and 6A-6D, the first hollow portion L1 includes a first side L10 extending along the first direction X; the extension lines of the first sides L10 of the two first hollow portions L1 corresponding to the same sub-pixel electrode group P00 coincide with each other. For example, as shown in Figures 5A and 6A, the extension line of the first side L10 of the first hollow portion L1 corresponding to the first sub-pixel electrode portion P1 coincides with the extension line of the first side L10 of the first hollow portion L1 corresponding to the second sub-pixel electrode portion P2; and the extension line of the first side L10 of the first hollow portion L1 corresponding to the third sub-pixel electrode portion P3 coincides with the extension line of the first side L10 of the first hollow portion L1 corresponding to the fourth sub-pixel electrode portion P4.

[0140] It is understandable that due to limitations in process precision, the right angle of the first hollow portion L1 may be difficult to achieve, and the right angle position may have a certain curvature, that is, the position corresponding to the right angle of the first hollow portion L1 may also be arc-shaped, which is within the range of process error and is the right angle referred to in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0141] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 9A-9C and 11A-11C, the top sides of the two right-angled trapezoidal first hollow portions L1 corresponding to the same sub-pixel electrode group P00 are disposed adjacent to each other.

Specifically, as shown in Figures 10A-10C and 11A-11C, the extended lines of the right-angled sides of the first hollow portions L1 of the two right-angled trapezoids corresponding to the same sub-pixel electrode group P00 overlap, and the two trapezoids may be merged together to form a single, integrated hole.

[0144] In one possible embodiment, referring to Figures 9A-9C, 10A-10C, and 11A-11C, in the same pixel electrode 14, the extension lines of the right-angled sides of the trapezoidal first hollow portion L1 corresponding to the two sub-pixel electrode groups P00 do not overlap. For example, as shown in Figure 9B, in the same pixel electrode 14, the extension line of the right-angled side of the trapezoidal first hollow portion L1 corresponding to the upper sub-pixel electrode group P00 does not overlap with the extension line of the right-angled side of the trapezoidal first hollow portion L1 corresponding to the lower sub-pixel electrode group P00. Specifically, in the same pixel electrode 14, the right-angled side of the trapezoidal first hollow portion L1 corresponding to the upper sub-pixel electrode group P00 is disposed adjacent to the right edge of the pixel electrode 14, while the right-angled side of the trapezoidal first hollow portion L1 corresponding to the lower sub-pixel electrode group P00 is disposed adjacent to the left edge of the pixel electrode 14.

[0145] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 2A and 2F , the orthographic projection of the first hollow portion L1 on the array substrate 1 is X-shaped. The first hollow portion L1 includes a first sub-hollow portion L01 extending along a third direction G, and a second sub-hollow portion L02 extending along a fourth direction H. The first sub-hollow portion L01 and the second sub-hollow portion L02 are intersectingly disposed. Specifically, the first sub-hollow portion L01 is perpendicular to the second sub-hollow portion L02.

[0146] In one possible embodiment, referring to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2F , the extension direction of one of the first sub-hollow portion L01 and the second sub-hollow portion L02 is parallel to the extension direction of the slit structure S of the sub-pixel electrode portion P0 in which it is located, while the extension direction of the other sub-hollow portion is perpendicular to the extension direction of the slit structure of the sub-pixel electrode portion in which it is located. For example, in the region where the first sub-pixel electrode portion P1 is located, the extension direction of the first sub-hollow portion L01 is parallel to the extension direction of the slit structure S, while the extension direction of the second sub-hollow portion L02 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the slit structure S; and in the region where the second sub-pixel electrode portion P2 is located, the extension direction of the first sub-hollow portion L01 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the slit structure S, while the extension direction of the second sub-hollow portion L02 is parallel to the extension direction of the slit structure S.

[0147] In a possible implementation, referring to FIG. 6A to FIG. 6D , FIG. 10A to FIG. 10C , and FIG. 11A to FIG. 11D , the two first hollow portions L1 corresponding to the same sub-pixel electrode group P00 are an integrated structure.

[0148] In a possible implementation, referring to Figures 2A-2J, 3A-3C, 4A-4C, 5A-5C, 7A-7C, 8A-8C, and 9A-9C, the two first hollow portions L1 corresponding to the same sub-pixel electrode group P00 are separated structures.

[0149] In a possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 2A-2J, Figures 3A-3C, Figures 4A-4C, Figures 5A-5C, Figures 7A-7C, Figures 8A-8C, Figures 9A-9C, Figures 10A-10C, and Figures 12A-12B, the slit structure S is uniformly distributed in the entire sub-pixel electrode portion.

[0150] In one possible implementation, as shown in Figures 6A-6D and 11A-11D, the slit structure S is distributed only in a portion of the sub-pixel electrode portion P0, and the sub-pixel electrode portion P0 also includes a block structure F. That is, there are no slits within the block structure F. In the disclosed embodiment, the slit structure S is distributed only in a portion of the sub-pixel electrode portion P0, and the sub-pixel electrode portion P0 also includes a block structure F. This can increase the pixel brightness and transmittance in the area where the block structure F is located. At the same time, it can produce a variety of brightness distributions within the pixel, creating a visual effect with more than 8 domains.

[0151] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figures 6A-6D and 11A-11D, the distribution positions of the block structure F are different in the two sub-pixel electrode groups P00 of the same pixel electrode 14; specifically, for example, as shown in Figures 6A-6D and 11A-11D, the block structure F corresponding to the upper sub-pixel electrode group P00 is arranged against the right edge of the pixel electrode 14, and the block structure F corresponding to the lower sub-pixel electrode group P00 is arranged against the left edge of the pixel electrode 14; in the two sub-pixel electrode parts P0 of the same sub-pixel electrode group P00, the block structure F is an integrated structure. Specifically, for example, as shown in Figures 6A-6D and 11A-11D, the block structures F corresponding to the two sub-pixel electrode parts P0 in the upper sub-pixel electrode group P00 are an integrated structure.

[0152] In one possible embodiment, referring to Figures 6A-6D and 11A-11D, the orthographic projection of the first hollow portion L1 on the array substrate 1 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the block structure F on the array substrate 1. Specifically, for example, in conjunction with Figure 6A, the orthographic projection of the first hollow portion L1 on the array substrate 1 covers the orthographic projection of the block structure F on the array substrate 1. Specifically, the orthographic projection of the widest portion of the block structure F on the array substrate 1 can be disposed within the orthographic projection of the first hollow portion L1 on the array substrate 1. Specifically, for another example, as shown in Figure 11A, the orthographic projection of the first hollow portion L1 on the array substrate 1 partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the block structure F on the array substrate 1.

[0153] In a possible embodiment, referring to FIG6A , a maximum length d1 of the orthographic projection of the block structure F on the array substrate 1 in the second direction Y is less than or equal to a maximum length d2 of the orthographic projection of the first hollow portion L1 on the array substrate 1 in the second direction Y; a maximum length d3 of the orthographic projection of the block structure F on the array substrate 1 in the first direction X is less than or equal to a maximum length d4 of the orthographic projection of the first hollow portion L1 on the array substrate 1 in the first direction X; in a possible embodiment, referring to FIG11A , a maximum length d1 of the orthographic projection of the block structure F on the array substrate 1 in the second direction Y is greater than or equal to a maximum length d2 of the orthographic projection of the first hollow portion L1 on the array substrate 1 in the second direction Y; a maximum length d3 of the orthographic projection of the block structure F on the array substrate 1 in the first direction X is greater than or equal to a maximum length d4 of the orthographic projection of the first hollow portion L1 on the array substrate 1 in the first direction X.

[0154] In one possible embodiment, referring to Figures 6A-6D and 11A-11D, within the same sub-pixel electrode group P00, the block structures F of different sub-pixel electrode portions P0 may be an integrally connected structure. Specifically, referring to Figure 6A, the block structure F may be a right triangle, and within the same sub-pixel electrode group P00, the right-angled sides of two block structures F of different sub-pixel electrode portions P0 coincide with each other; specifically, referring to Figure 11A, the block structure F may be a right trapezoid, and within the same sub-pixel electrode group P00, the two right-angled trapezoidal block structures F of different sub-pixel electrode portions P0 are arranged with their bases close to each other, that is, the bases of the two right-angled trapezoidal block structures F of different sub-pixel electrode portions P0 coincide with each other.

[0155] In a possible implementation, within the same sub-pixel electrode group P00 , the block structures F of different sub-pixel electrode portions P0 may also be separated from each other.

[0156] In one possible embodiment, referring to FIG. 11A to FIG. 11D , the block structure F may have a shape similar to that of the first hollow portion L1. For example, as shown in FIG. 11A , the shape of the first hollow portion L1 is a right-angled trapezoid, and the shape of the block structure F is also a right-angled trapezoid. Specifically, the block structure F may have a shape similar to that of the first hollow portion L1, but be arranged differently.

Specifically, for example, the hypotenuse of the first hollow portion L1 is perpendicular to the hypotenuse of the block structure F.

[0157] Specifically, for example, referring to FIG11A , the block structure F is a right-angled trapezoid, and the orthographic projection of an acute angle corresponding to the long bottom side of the block structure F on the array substrate 1 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first hollow portion L1 on the array substrate 1; the orthographic projection of the right angle corresponding to the long bottom side of the block structure F on the array substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the first hollow portion L1 on the array substrate 1 at least partially overlap.

[0158] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 6A-6D, the block structure F may have a different shape from the first hollow portion L1. For example, as shown in Figure 6A, the first hollow portion L1 is rectangular, and the block structure F is triangular. Specifically, the block structure F may be in the shape of a right triangle. Specifically, as shown in Figure 6A, at least one right-angled side of the right-angled triangle block structure F coincides with at least one side of the rectangular first hollow portion L1; and the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle block structure F coincides with the diagonal of the rectangular first hollow portion L1.

[0159] Specifically, in combination with Figures 2J, 3C, 4C, 5C, 6D, 7C, 8C, 9C, 10C, and 11D, when the first hollow portion L1 is arc-shaped, there will be areas of disorderly arrangement of the liquid crystal, and irregular dark lines will appear; when the edge of the first hollow portion L1 is parallel to the extension direction of the slit structure S, the dark lines will be aggravated and the transmittance will be reduced, as shown in Figures 2J and 7C; among the above figures, the transmittance of Figures 8C, 9C, and 10C is better.

[0160] Specifically, as shown in FIG14, an equivalent circuit diagram corresponding to a pixel electrode provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is provided, wherein S is the data line on the left side of the pixel, that is, the signal line for transmitting the data signal to the current pixel electrode 15, that is, the data line electrically connected to the current pixel electrode 14, S is the data line on the right side of the pixel, and is also the data line of the horizontally adjacent pixels. The pixel circuit may include: a transistor, and the sub-pixel electrode group on each side of the gate line can form a first capacitor Cpd, a second capacitor Cgp, a liquid crystal capacitor Clc, a third capacitor Cpd, and a fourth capacitor Cpcom; wherein the overlapping area of ​​the pixel electrode 14 and the data line 15 can form a first capacitor Cpd The overlapping area of ​​the pixel electrode 14 and the gate line 16 can form a second capacitor Cgp, the pixel electrode 14 and the common electrode 22 can form a liquid crystal capacitor Clc, a third capacitor Cpd can be formed between the pixel electrode 14 and the adjacent data line 15, and a fourth capacitor Cpcom can be formed between the pixel electrode 14 and the first electrode 12. In addition, Cpp(n+1) can be formed between the first sub-pixel electrode portion P1 of the current pixel electrode 14 and the fourth sub-pixel electrode portion P4 of the previous pixel electrode 14, and Cpp(n-1) can be formed between the fourth sub-pixel electrode portion P4 of the current pixel electrode 14 and the first sub-pixel electrode portion P1 of the next pixel electrode 14. Among them, the position where the first hollow portion L1 is provided (that is, the area where the first electrode 12 is dug out) is bright, which is equivalent to the absence of Cpcom; while the position where the first hollow portion L1 is not provided is dark, which is equivalent to the presence of Cpcom.
