Abstract
Description
Array substrate, display panel, and display device Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to an array substrate, a display panel, and a display device. Background Art
[0002] The name UV2A comes from the multiplication of ultraviolet (UV) light and the VA method of the liquid crystal panel. This technology can precisely manipulate the alignment of liquid crystal molecules through ultraviolet light, greatly improving the light transmittance.
[0003] The key to UV2A lies in its use of a special polymer material as an alignment film, precisely controlling the tilt of liquid crystal molecules along the direction of ultraviolet light. This accuracy is measured in picometers (one trillionth of a meter). UV2A's advantage lies in its simple LCD panel structure, free of protrusions and slits. This "dream of LCD technicians" was explored as early as 30 years ago. Today, thanks to the availability of new materials, production equipment, and a refined processing process, this dream has become a reality. This simple LCD panel structure not only improves production efficiency but also offers numerous advantages in image quality.

[0132] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. The implementation methods can be implemented in multiple different forms. Ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field can easily understand the fact that the method and content can be transformed into one or more forms without departing from the purpose and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents described in the following implementation methods. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other in any way.
[0133] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure should have the usual meanings understood by persons of ordinary skill in the field to which this disclosure belongs. The words "first", "second" and similar terms used in this disclosure 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. Words such as "connect" or "connected" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect.
[0134] 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). For example, "approximately the same" may mean that the difference relative to the stated value is within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, 20%, 10%, 5%. In this specification, "approximately the same" may refer to values that are within 10% of each other.
[0135] In the accompanying drawings, the thickness of layers, films, panels, regions, etc. are exaggerated for clarity. Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views that are schematic representations of idealized embodiments. As such, deviations from the shapes of the figures are to be expected as a result of, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Thus, the embodiments described herein should not be construed as limited to the specific shapes of the regions as shown herein, but rather include deviations in shape that result from, for example, manufacturing. For example, a region illustrated or described as flat may typically have rough and / or nonlinear features. Furthermore, sharp corners illustrated may be rounded. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of the regions and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims.
[0136] In this specification, for convenience, words and phrases indicating orientation or positional relationships, such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inside," and "outside," are used to illustrate the positional relationships of constituent elements with reference to the accompanying drawings. This is merely for the purpose of facilitating the description of this specification and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure. The positional relationships of constituent elements may be appropriately changed depending on the direction in which the constituent elements are described. Therefore, the present disclosure is not limited to the words and phrases described in the specification and may be appropriately replaced according to the circumstances.
[0137] In this specification, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through intermediaries, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the meaning of these terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.
[0138] In this specification, "electrically connected" includes components connected together via an element having some electrical function. There are no particular limitations on the "element having some electrical function" as long as it enables the transmission of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "element having some electrical function" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other components with one or more functions.
[0139] In this specification, a transistor refers to a device that includes at least three terminals: a gate electrode (gate), a drain electrode, and a source electrode. A transistor has a channel region between a drain electrode (drain electrode terminal, drain region, or drain) and a source electrode (source electrode terminal, source region, or source), and current can flow through the drain electrode, the channel region, and the source electrode. In this disclosure, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.
[0140] The gate of a transistor can also be referred to as the control electrode. The functions of the "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may be interchanged when using transistors with opposite polarity or when the direction of current changes during circuit operation. Therefore, in this specification, the terms "source electrode" and "drain electrode" may be interchanged.
[0141] In this specification, "parallel" refers to a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than -10° and less than 10°, and thus includes a state where the angle is greater than -5° and less than 5°. Furthermore, "perpendicular" refers to a state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than 80° and less than 100°, and thus includes a state where the angle is greater than 85° and less than 95°.
[0142] In this specification, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons or hexagons are not in the strict sense, but may be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons or hexagons, etc. There may be some small deformations caused by tolerances, and there may be chamfers, arc edges and deformations.
[0143] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may be replaced with "insulating layer."

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an array substrate, comprising:
[0147] Substrate 1;
[0148] A plurality of gate lines 2 are located on one side of the substrate 1 and extend along a first direction X;
[0149] A plurality of data lines 3, wherein the main direction of the plurality of data lines 3 extends along a second direction Y, and the orthographic projection of the data lines 3 on the substrate 1 is a bent shape; specifically, the second direction Y may intersect the first direction X; specifically, the second direction Y may be perpendicular to the first direction X; specifically, the second direction Y may be a direction of pixel electrode columns, and the first direction X may be a direction of pixel electrode rows;
[0150] Multiple pixel electrodes 4, wherein the orthographic projections of the pixel electrodes 4 on the substrate 1 are located between the orthographic projections of adjacent data lines 3 on the substrate 1; the pixel electrodes 4 include multiple slits F, and the extending directions of the orthographic projections of the slits F on the substrate 1 are consistent with the extending directions of the orthographic projections of the adjacent data lines 3 on the substrate 1. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG1A , the pixel electrode 4 includes four sub-electrode portions sequentially distributed along the second direction Y, namely, a first sub-electrode portion P1, a second sub-electrode portion P2, a third sub-electrode portion P3, and a fourth sub-electrode portion P4. The extending directions of the slits F in the first sub-electrode portion P1 are consistent with the extending directions of the data lines 3 on both sides thereof in the region, the extending directions of the slits F in the second sub-electrode portion P2 are consistent with the extending directions of the data lines 3 on both sides thereof in the region, the extending directions of the slits F in the third sub-electrode portion P3 are consistent with the extending directions of the data lines 3 on both sides thereof in the region, and the extending directions of the slits F in the fourth sub-electrode portion P4 are consistent with the extending directions of the data lines 3 on both sides thereof in the region.
[0151] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the orthographic projection of the data line 3 on the substrate 1 is bent, and the extension direction of the orthographic projection of the slit F of the pixel electrode 4 on the substrate 1 is consistent with the extension direction of the orthographic projection of the adjacent data line 3 on the substrate 1, so that the edge electric field of the pixel electrode 4 and the internal electric field of the pixel electrode 4 can be made to have the same direction, the liquid crystal disorder phenomenon is reduced or eliminated, and the dark lines on the edge of the pixel electrode 4 also disappear; moreover, the appearance of 90° / 270° oriented liquid crystal molecules in the area where the pixel electrode 4 is located can be reduced or eliminated, thereby improving the viewing angle color deviation of the display panel in the first direction X (left and right).
[0152] Specifically, see Figures 6 to 9, wherein Figure 6 is a light effect simulation diagram of a display panel with a UV2A alignment mode at a sub-pixel, Figure 7 is a light effect simulation diagram of a display panel with a SUVA alignment mode at a sub-pixel, Figure 8 is a light effect simulation diagram of a display panel with a SUVA-ADS alignment mode at a sub-pixel when the data line is vertically aligned, and Figure 9 is a light effect simulation diagram of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure at a sub-pixel. It can be seen that the traditional UV2A alignment mode structure and the SUVA alignment mode structure, the SUVA-ADS alignment mode structure, when the data line is vertical When the data line is bent in the direction (i.e., along the second direction Y), dark lines will appear on the edge of the data line. That is, because the liquid crystal of the edge electric field is horizontal (i.e., along the first direction X), while the liquid crystal in the sub-pixel is oriented at 45 degrees, the liquid crystal will be disordered in different directions at the edge of the data line. After the data line is changed to a bent (45°) design, the direction of the edge electric field and the electric field in the pixel are the same, the liquid crystal disorder disappears, and the dark lines on the edge also disappear. In addition, the presence of 90° / 270° liquid crystal molecules will increase the overall Δn of the liquid crystal (the difference in refractive index between the long and short axes of the liquid crystal), which will affect the color deviation of large viewing angles. As shown in Figures 10 and 11, the array substrate structure provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can reduce or eliminate the appearance of 90° / 270° liquid crystal molecules in the sub-pixels, thereby improving the color deviation of large viewing angles.
[0153] It should be noted that the main direction of the data line 3 extends along the second direction Y. It can be understood that the data line 3 as a whole extends along the second direction Y, but when it comes to the area corresponding to each pixel electrode 4, it can be bent.
[0154] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figures 1A-1H, 2A-2J, 4A-4J, and 5A-5J, the bending shape of the slit F in the same pixel electrode 4 projected on the substrate 1 is consistent with the bending shape of the adjacent data line 3 projected on the substrate 1.
[0155] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figures 1A-1H, 2A-2J, and 3A-3J, the orthographic projection of the gate line 2 on the substrate 1 passes through the central area of the orthographic projection of the pixel electrode 4 on the substrate 1; the pixel electrode 4 has a first gap J1 in the area where the gate line 2 is located; the pixel electrode 4 includes: a first pixel electrode 41 located on one side of the gate line 2, a second pixel electrode 42 located on the other side of the gate line 2, and a connecting portion 43 connecting at least a portion of the first pixel electrode 41 and at least a portion of the second pixel electrode 42.
[0156] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the gate line 2 passes through the central area of the pixel electrode 4, that is, the pixel electrode 4 is divided by the gate line 2 into a first pixel electrode 41 located on one side of the gate line 2, and a second pixel electrode 42 located on the other side of the gate line 2. At least part of the first pixel electrode 41 is electrically connected to at least part of the second pixel electrode 42, so that two different display effects of light and dark can be achieved in one pixel electrode 4. In conjunction with the liquid crystal alignment direction of different sub-electrode parts in the pixel electrode 4, it is beneficial to achieve an 8-domain distribution in one pixel electrode 4. While improving the edge dark lines, improving the transmittance, and improving the color deviation by bending the data line 3, the dark lines can be further reduced and the color deviation can be improved by realizing multiple domain phases in one pixel electrode 4.
[0157] In one possible embodiment, as shown in FIG1A to FIG1H , the array substrate further includes: a plurality of transistors T; the pixel electrode 4 is electrically connected to the data line 3 via the plurality of transistors T; the first pixel electrode 41 includes: a first sub-pixel electrode 411 and a second sub-pixel electrode 412 distributed along a first direction X; the second pixel electrode 42 includes: a third sub-pixel electrode 421 and a fourth sub-pixel electrode 422 distributed along the first direction X; the second sub-pixel electrode 412 is located on a side of the first sub-pixel electrode 411 away from the electrically connected data line 3, and the fourth sub-pixel electrode 422 is located on a side of the third sub-pixel electrode 421 away from the electrically connected data line 3; and one of the first sub-pixel electrode 411 and the second sub-pixel electrode 412 is electrically connected to one of the third sub-pixel electrode 421 and the fourth sub-pixel electrode 422 via a connecting portion 43. The brightness of the two electrically connected sub-pixel electrodes is different from the brightness of the other two sub-pixel electrodes. Specifically, for example, the first sub-pixel electrode 411 may be electrically connected to the third sub-pixel electrode 421, and the second sub-pixel electrode 412 may be electrically connected to the fourth sub-pixel electrode 422; or, the first sub-pixel electrode 411 may be electrically connected to the fourth sub-pixel electrode 422, and the second sub-pixel electrode 412 may be electrically connected to the third sub-pixel electrode 421.
[0158] In the disclosed embodiment, one of the first sub-pixel electrode 411 and the second sub-pixel electrode 412 is electrically connected to one of the third sub-pixel electrode 421 and the fourth sub-pixel electrode 422 via a connecting portion 43. The brightness of the two electrically connected electrodes is different from that of the other two electrodes, thereby achieving two different light and dark display effects in a single pixel electrode 4. By combining the liquid crystal alignment directions of the different sub-electrode portions in the pixel electrode 4, an eight-domain distribution can be achieved in a single pixel electrode 4. While improving edge dark lines, enhancing transmittance, and improving color shift by bending the data line 3, the four portions of the pixel electrode 4 are cross-connected electrically in pairs, further reducing dark lines and improving color shift by achieving multiple domain phases in a single pixel electrode 4.
[0159] It should be noted that in the disclosed embodiment, the electrical connection between the first sub-pixel electrode 411 and the second sub-pixel electrode 412 and the third sub-pixel electrode 421 and the fourth sub-pixel electrode 422 may be achieved at the same layer as the pixel electrode 4, while the other two sub-pixel electrodes may not be connected at the same layer as the pixel electrode 4, but may be electrically connected via other structures, for example, both being connected to the same transistor drain. Specifically, for example, the first sub-pixel electrode 411 and the third sub-pixel electrode 421 may be electrically connected at the same layer as the pixel electrode 4, and both exhibit one brightness; while the second sub-pixel electrode 412 and the third sub-pixel electrode 421 may not be electrically connected at the same layer as the pixel electrode 4, but may be connected to the same transistor drain to achieve a different brightness. The brightness of the two sub-pixel electrodes connected at the same layer as the pixel electrode 4 may be different from the brightness of the other two sub-pixel electrodes.
[0160] It can be understood that the brightness of the two electrically connected together is different from the brightness of the other two, and refers to the brightness comparison within a sub-pixel when the display panel is powered on and illuminated.
[0161] In a possible embodiment, referring to FIG. 1A to FIG. 1H , the first sub-pixel electrode 411 and the fourth sub-pixel electrode 422 are electrically connected via a connecting portion 43 at the layer where the pixel electrode 4 is located; the second sub-pixel electrode 412 and the third sub-pixel electrode 421 are independent of each other at the layer where the pixel electrode 4 is located.
[0162] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figures 1A-1H, multiple transistors electrically connected to the same pixel electrode 4 are all electrically connected to the same data line 3 and the same gate line 2. For example, as shown in Figure 1B, there are three transistors electrically connected to the same pixel electrode 4, namely, a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, and a third transistor T3. The three transistors are all electrically connected to the same data line 3 and the same gate line 2.
[0163] It should be noted that the multiple transistors electrically connected to the same pixel electrode 4 may refer to transistors electrically connected to the same pixel electrode 4 directly or indirectly. For example, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 may be directly electrically connected to the pixel electrode 4, and the third transistor T3, since it is electrically connected to the second transistor T2, may also be considered to be electrically connected to the pixel electrode 4. Specifically, the multiple transistors electrically connected to the same pixel electrode 4 may also be transistors that drive the same pixel electrode 4 to emit light.
[0164] In a possible embodiment, referring to FIG. 1A to FIG. 1H , the array substrate further includes: a first common trace 21 located on one side of the gate line 2 and extending along the first direction X; the plurality of transistors T include: a first transistor T1 , a second transistor T2 , and a third transistor T3 ;
[0165] The control electrode TA of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the gate line 2, the first electrode TB of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the data line 3, and the second electrode TC of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the connecting portion 43. Specifically, the second electrode TC of the first transistor T1 can be electrically connected to the first sub-pixel electrode 411 and the fourth sub-pixel electrode 422 through the first via hole K1.
[0166] The control electrode TA of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the gate line 2, the first electrode TB of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the data line 3, and the second electrode TC of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second sub-pixel electrode 412 and the third sub-pixel electrode 421. Specifically, the second electrode TC of the second transistor T2 can be electrically connected to the third sub-pixel electrode 421 through a second via hole K2; the second electrode TC of the second transistor T2 can be electrically connected to the second sub-pixel electrode 412 through a third via hole K3.
[0167] The control electrode TA of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the gate line 2, the first electrode TB of the third transistor T3 reuses the second electrode TC of the second transistor T2, and the second electrode TC of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the first common wiring 21. Specifically, the second electrode TC of the third transistor T3 can be electrically connected to the first common wiring 21 through a fourth via K4.
[0168] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the third transistor T3 is connected to the second transistor T2, the voltage applied to the second sub-pixel electrode 412 and the third sub-pixel electrode 421 will be partially distributed to the first common wiring 21 through the third transistor T3, so that the voltage obtained by the second sub-pixel electrode 412 and the third sub-pixel electrode 421 is lower than the voltage obtained by the first sub-pixel electrode 411 and the fourth sub-pixel electrode 422, and thus the luminous brightness of the second sub-pixel electrode 412 and the third sub-pixel electrode 421 is lower than the luminous brightness of the first sub-pixel electrode 411 and the fourth sub-pixel electrode 422, thereby forming a display effect with different brightness and darkness in the sub-pixels.
[0169] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 1A-1H , the second electrode TC of the first transistor T1 includes a first transistor first portion T1C1 extending along a first direction X.

[0176] In one possible embodiment, as shown in FIG1G , a length a1 of the first connecting portion PD1 in the second direction Y is greater than a length a2 of the first connecting portion 431 in the second direction Y. This allows the first connecting portion PD1 to have sufficient area to be electrically connected to the first portion of the first transistor T1C1 through the first via K1.
[0177] In one possible embodiment, referring to FIG. 1A to FIG. 1H , the second electrode TC of the second transistor T2 includes: a first second transistor portion T2C1 extending along a first direction X, and a second second transistor portion T2C2 extending from the first second transistor portion T2C1 along a second direction Y;

In this manner, the third bridging portion PD3 and the first portion of the second transistor T2C1 are electrically connected at the overlapping position through the second via K2.
[0180] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a first transition portion PZ1, a second transition portion PZ2 extending along the second direction Y, and a second overlap portion PD2 are further provided on one side of the second sub-pixel electrode 412. In this way, the second sub-pixel electrode 412 is electrically connected to the second electrode TB of the second transistor T2, and the wiring method for electrically connecting the second sub-pixel electrode 412 to the second electrode TB of the second transistor T2 is simple and regular, which is conducive to the simple wiring between the gap between the first pixel electrode 41 and the second pixel electrode 42, and avoids the risk of short circuit defects that may occur during etching patterning when the layout of multiple patterns is more complex.
[0181] In a possible embodiment, referring to FIG1G , the second electrode TC of the second transistor T2 may further include: a second transistor third portion T2C3 electrically connected to the other end of the second transistor first portion T2C1 and extending along the second direction Y.

The fourth bridging portion PD4 partially contacts the first common trace 21 and partially contacts the second electrode TC of the third transistor T3 at the fourth via K4 , thereby electrically connecting the first common trace 21 to the second portion T3C2 of the third transistor via the fourth bridging portion PD4 . Specifically, the semi-via design of the fourth via K4 may form a stepped structure within the fourth via K4 , thereby draining the alignment liquid and preventing moiré patterns from appearing on the image.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the bending shape of the fourth common routing 240 is consistent with the bending shape of the data line 3, and can match the bending of the data line 3, and the orthographic projection of the fourth common routing 240 on the substrate 1 is located on both sides of the orthographic projection of the data line 3 on the substrate 1, which can improve the coupling capacitance between the data line 3 and the first pixel electrode 41.
[0194] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 2A to 2J , the first pixel electrode 41 is an integral structure, and the second pixel electrode 42 is an integral structure. That is, in one possible embodiment, as shown in Figure 2I , the first pixel electrode 41 on one side of the gate line 2 is no longer divided in the left-right direction, and the second pixel electrode 42 on the other side of the gate line 2 is no longer divided in the left-right direction. This simplifies the production of the pixel electrode 4 and reduces the risk of short circuit defects in the array substrate due to the complex pattern of the pixel electrode 4.
[0195] In one possible implementation, as shown in FIG2I , the end of the first pixel electrode 41 away from the gate line 2 is open, and the end of the second pixel electrode 42 away from the gate line 2 is open. In the disclosed embodiment, the ends of the first pixel electrode 41 and 42 away from the gate line 2 are open, which can reduce dark lines on the edges of the pixel electrodes 4 and improve the transmittance of the display panel.
[0196] It should be noted that when the first pixel electrode 41 and the second pixel electrode 42 have multiple branch electrodes and slits F located between adjacent branches, the end of the first pixel electrode 41 away from the gate line 2 is an opening; the end of the second pixel electrode 42 away from the gate line 2 is an opening. It can be understood that the ends of the branch electrodes are not connected to each other, and the ends of the slits F are not connected to each other.
[0197] In one possible embodiment, as shown in FIG2I , the orthographic projection of the connecting portion 43 on the substrate 1 is a rectangle, thereby simplifying the production of the pixel electrode 4 and reducing the risk of short circuit defects in the array substrate due to the complex pattern of the pixel electrode 4 .
[0198] In one possible embodiment, as shown in FIG2I , the connection portion 43 is a block-shaped electrode. In one possible embodiment, as shown in FIG2I , the connection portion 43 may include: a first side edge f5 extending along the second direction Y, and a second side edge f6.
[0199] In one possible embodiment, referring to Figures 2A-2J , the gate line 2 has a gate line hollow 20, and the orthographic projection of the gate line hollow 20 on the substrate 1 covers at least a portion of the orthographic projection of the connecting portion 43 on the substrate 1. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the gate line 2 has a gate line hollow 20, and the orthographic projection of the gate line hollow 20 on the substrate 1 at least partially covers the orthographic projection of the connecting portion 43 on the substrate 1. This can avoid the pixel electrode 4 and the gate line 2 from overlapping at the connecting portion 43, causing the two to generate coupling capacitance, thereby increasing the load on the gate line 2 and affecting the signal transmission of the gate line 2.
[0200] In one possible embodiment, referring to Figures 2A to 2J , the orthographic projection of the gate line hollow 20 on the substrate 1 may cover the entire orthographic projection of the connecting portion 43 on the substrate 1. In another possible embodiment, the orthographic projection of the gate line hollow 20 on the substrate 1 may also cover only the portion of the orthographic projection of the connecting portion 43 on the substrate 1.
[0201] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 2A to 2J , the array substrate may be provided with only one fourth transistor T4 at each pixel electrode 4. The fourth transistor T4 may include: a gate TA, an active pattern 5, a first electrode TB, and a second electrode TC. The gate TA may be reused as the gate line 2, the first electrode TB may be reused as the data line 2, and the second electrode TC may include: a first fourth transistor portion T4C1, a second fourth transistor portion T4C2, and a third fourth transistor portion T4C3, sequentially distributed along a first direction X. The orthographic projection of the third fourth transistor portion T4C3 on the substrate 1 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the connecting portion 43 on the substrate 1. Thus, the connecting portion 43 is electrically connected to the third fourth transistor portion T4C3 via a first insulating layer via 910 penetrating the first insulating layer 91 and a second insulating layer via 920 penetrating the second insulating layer 92, thereby further achieving electrical connection between the pixel electrode 4 and the fourth transistor T4.

In this way, the pixel electrode 4 matches the bend shape of the data line 3, and the fringe electric field of the pixel electrode 4 and the internal electric field of the pixel electrode 4 are aligned in the same direction, thereby reducing or eliminating liquid crystal disorder, improving dark fringes on the edge of the pixel electrode 4, and improving the left-right viewing angle color deviation of the display panel.
[0203] In a possible embodiment, the first pixel electrode 41 is an integrated structure, and the second pixel electrode 42 is an integrated structure, as shown in Figure 2I, the first pixel electrode 41 may include: a first sub-electrode portion P1 distributed along the second direction Y, and a second sub-electrode portion P2, and the second pixel electrode 42 may include: a third sub-electrode portion P3 distributed along the second direction Y, and a fourth sub-electrode portion P4; when the first pixel electrode 41 further includes: a first sub-pixel electrode 411 and a second sub-pixel electrode 412 distributed in sequence along the first direction X; and the second pixel electrode 42 further includes: a third sub-pixel electrode 421 and a fourth sub-pixel electrode 422 distributed in sequence along the first direction X, the first sub-pixel electrode 411 and the second sub-pixel electrode 412 may both include: a first sub-electrode portion P1 distributed along the second direction Y, and a second sub-electrode portion P2; and the third sub-pixel electrode 421 and the fourth sub-pixel electrode 422 may both include: a third sub-electrode portion P3 distributed along the second direction Y, and a fourth sub-electrode portion P4.
[0204] In one possible embodiment, referring to Figures 1A-1H , the extension direction of the first sub-electrode portion P1 is the same as the extension direction of the fourth sub-electrode portion P4; the extension direction of the second sub-electrode portion P2 is the same as the extension direction of the third sub-electrode portion P3. Specifically, for example, referring to Figures 1A-1H , the angle formed between the extension direction of the first sub-electrode portion P1 and the first direction X can be 40° to 50°, for example, 45°; the angle formed between the extension direction of the second sub-electrode portion P2 and the first direction X can be 130° to 140°, for example, 135°; the angle formed between the extension direction of the third sub-electrode portion P3 and the first direction X can be 130° to 140°, for example, 135°; and the angle formed between the extension direction of the fourth sub-electrode portion P4 and the first direction X can be 40° to 50°, for example, 45°.
[0205] In one possible embodiment, referring to Figures 2A to 2J , the extension direction of the first sub-electrode portion P1 is the same as the extension direction of the third sub-electrode portion P3; the extension direction of the second sub-electrode portion P2 is the same as the extension direction of the fourth sub-electrode portion P4. Specifically, for example, referring to Figures 1A to 1H , the angle formed between the extension direction of the first sub-electrode portion P1 and the first direction X can be 40° to 50°, for example, 45°; the angle formed between the extension direction of the second sub-electrode portion P2 and the first direction X can be 130° to 140°, for example, 135°; the angle formed between the extension direction of the third sub-electrode portion P3 and the first direction X can be 40° to 50°, for example, 45°; and the angle formed between the extension direction of the fourth sub-electrode portion P4 and the first direction X can be 130° to 140°, for example, 135°.
[0206] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 1A-1H and 2A-2J, the slits F in the first sub-electrode portion P1 extend in the same direction as the first sub-electrode portion P1; the slits F in the second sub-electrode portion P2 extend in the same direction as the second sub-electrode portion P2; the slits F in the third sub-electrode portion P3 extend in the same direction as the third sub-electrode portion P3; and the slits F in the fourth sub-electrode portion P4 extend in the same direction as the fourth sub-electrode portion P4. This ensures that the fringe electric field of the pixel electrode 4 and the internal electric field of the pixel electrode 4 are aligned in the same direction, reducing or eliminating liquid crystal turbulence, improving dark fringes on the edge of the pixel electrode 4, and improving left-right viewing angle color deviation of the display panel.
[0207] In one possible embodiment, the length of the slit F in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction may be 2 μm to 4 μm. Specifically, the length of the slit F in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction may be 3 μm. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the array substrate provided based on the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the length of the slit F in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction is reduced to 3 μm, the dark lines almost disappear.
[0208] 1A to 1H , the angle formed by the extension direction of the slit F of the first sub-electrode portion P1 and the first direction X may be 40° to 50°, for example, 45°; the angle formed by the extension direction of the slit F of the second sub-electrode portion P2 and the first direction X may be 130° to 140°, for example, 135°; the angle formed by the extension direction of the slit F of the third sub-electrode portion P3 and the first direction X may be 130° to 140°, for example, 135°; the angle formed by the extension direction of the slit F of the fourth sub-electrode portion P4 and the first direction X may be 40° to 50°, for example, 45°.
[0209] Specifically, the angle formed by the liquid crystal alignment direction in the area where the first sub-electrode portion P1 is located and the first direction X can be 220° to 230°, for example, 225°; the angle formed by the liquid crystal alignment direction in the area where the second sub-electrode portion P2 is located and the first direction X can be 130° to 140°, for example, 135°; the angle formed by the liquid crystal alignment direction in the area where the third sub-electrode portion P3 is located and the first direction X can be 310° to 320°, for example, 315°; and the angle formed by the liquid crystal alignment direction in the area where the fourth sub-electrode portion P4 is located and the first direction X can be 40° to 50°, for example, 45°. By achieving four alignment directions in the area where a pixel electrode 4 is located, and combining them with the divided bright and dark areas, an alignment mode of eight domains in a sub-pixel can be formed when using the Super UV Photo Alignment (SUVA) technology.
[0210] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 1A-1H and 2A-2J, the data line 3 includes: a first data portion 31 located on one side of the first sub-electrode portion P1 and extending in the same direction as the first sub-electrode P1; a second data portion 32 located on one side of the second sub-electrode portion P2 and extending in the same direction as the second sub-electrode P2; a third data portion 33 located on one side of the third sub-electrode portion P3 and extending in the same direction as the third sub-electrode P3; and a fourth data portion 34 located on one side of the fourth sub-electrode portion P4 and extending in the same direction as the fourth sub-electrode P4. In this way, the bend shape of the data line 3 is consistent with the bend shape of the pixel electrode 4, aligning the fringe electric field of the pixel electrode 4 with the internal electric field of the pixel electrode 4. This reduces or eliminates liquid crystal turbulence, improves dark fringes on the edge of the pixel electrode 4, and improves left-right viewing angle color deviation of the display panel.
[0211] In one possible implementation, referring to Figures 1A-1H and 2A-2J, the data line 3 further includes a fifth data portion 35 extending along the second direction Y and connecting the second data portion 32 and the third data portion 33. This design matches the gate line 2 passing through the center of the pixel electrode 4, facilitating the placement of a transistor in the region where the fifth data portion 35 is located.
[0212] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 3A-3J , the first pixel electrode 41 and the second pixel electrode 42 both extend along a third direction Z; and the outer edge of the first pixel electrode 41 along the extension direction does not overlap with the outer edge of the second pixel electrode 42 along the extension direction. In the disclosed embodiment, the pixel electrode 4 only includes the first pixel electrode 41 and the second pixel electrode 42, both of which extend along the third direction Z. This simplifies the fabrication of the pixel electrode 4 and reduces the risk of short circuit defects on the array substrate due to the complex pattern of the pixel electrode 4.
[0213] In a possible implementation manner, the angle formed by the third direction Z and the first direction X is 0° to 90°; in a possible implementation manner, the angle formed by the third direction Z and the first direction X is 40° to 50°, for example, 45°.
[0214] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 3A-3J , the data line 3 includes a sixth data portion 36 located on one side of the first pixel electrode 41 and a seventh data portion 37 located on one side of the second pixel electrode 42. The sixth data portion 36 extends in the same direction as the seventh data portion 37, and the extension line of the sixth data portion 36 does not overlap with the extension line of the seventh data portion 37. This ensures that the bend shape of the data line 3 aligns with the bend shape of the pixel electrode 4, aligning the directions of the fringe electric field of the pixel electrode 4 and the internal electric field of the pixel electrode 4. This reduces or eliminates liquid crystal turbulence, improves dark fringes on the edge of the pixel electrode 4, and improves color shift in the left-right viewing angle of the display panel.
[0215] In one possible implementation, as shown in Figures 3A to 3J , the data line 3 further includes an eighth data portion 38 extending along the second direction Y and connecting the sixth data portion 36 and the seventh data portion 37. This design matches the gate line 2 passing through the center of the pixel electrode 4, facilitating the placement of a transistor in the region where the eighth data portion 38 is located.
[0216] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 3A-3J , the array substrate may be provided with only one fourth transistor T4 at each pixel electrode 4. The fourth transistor T4 may include: a gate TA, an active pattern 5, a first electrode TB, and a second electrode TC. The gate TA may be reused as the gate line 2, the first electrode TB may be reused as the data line 2, and the second electrode TC may include: a first fourth transistor portion T4C1, a second fourth transistor portion T4C2, and a third fourth transistor portion T4C3, sequentially distributed along the first direction X. The orthographic projection of the third fourth transistor portion T4C3 on the substrate 1 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the connecting portion 43 on the substrate 1. Thus, the connecting portion 43 is electrically connected to the third fourth transistor portion T4C3 via a first insulating layer via 910 penetrating the first insulating layer 91 and a second insulating layer via 920 penetrating the second insulating layer 92, thereby further achieving electrical connection between the pixel electrode 4 and the fourth transistor T4.
[0217] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figures 2A to 2J and Figures 3A to 3J, the first conductive layer 7 further includes a conductive layer hollow 70, and the non-hollow portion of the first conductive layer 7 includes a block electrode, a block electrode and a pixel electrode area portion, and the orthographic projection of the conductive layer hollow 70 on the substrate 1 has an overlapping area with the orthographic projection of the connecting portion 43 on the substrate 1. In this way, the connecting portion 43 is also electrically connected to the second portion T5C2 of the fifth transistor through the conductive layer hollow 70, thereby further realizing the electrical connection between the pixel electrode 4 and the fifth transistor T5.
[0218] In one possible implementation, referring to Figures 4A-4J and 5A-5J , the orthographic projection of the gate line 2 on the substrate 1 is located on one side of the orthographic projection of the pixel electrode 4 on the substrate 1. That is, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the gate line 2 may not pass through the central area of the pixel electrode 4, but may be located on one side of the pixel electrode 4.
[0219] In one possible implementation, referring to Figures 2A-2J, 3A-3J, 4A-4J, and 5A-5J, the array substrate further includes a first conductive layer 7 located on the side of the pixel electrode 4 facing the substrate 1. In the disclosed embodiment, for a display panel in a VA display mode in which the array substrate is provided with a pixel electrode layer and the opposing substrate is provided with a common electrode layer, the first conductive layer 7 is further provided on the side of the pixel electrode 4 facing the substrate 1. In addition to the vertical electric field formed by the pixel electrode and the common electrode within the array substrate, a lateral electric field is formed between the pixel electrode 4 and the first conductive layer 7. This can increase the deflection direction of the liquid crystal and improve the color shift problem of the display panel.
[0220] In a possible embodiment, for the array substrate structure shown in Figure 1A, a first conductive layer 7 can also be set between the layer where the data line 3 is located and the layer where the pixel electrode 4 is located, so that in addition to the vertical electric field formed by the pixel electrode and the common electrode in the array substrate, the pixel electrode 4 and the first conductive layer 7 will form a transverse electric field, thereby increasing the deflection direction of the liquid crystal and improving the color deviation problem of the display panel.
[0221] Specifically, the first conductive layer 7 can be located between the substrate 1 and the layer where the pixel electrode 4 is located. Specifically, the first conductive layer 7 can be loaded with the same signal as the common electrode layer of the opposite substrate. The first conductive layer 7 can be a transparent electrode layer, and the material of the first conductive layer 7 can be indium tin oxide.
[0222] In one possible embodiment, referring to Figures 4A-4J and 5A-5J, a fifth common trace 25 is provided on the same layer as the gate line 2; the first conductive layer 7 is electrically connected to the fifth common trace 25 via a via KD. In the disclosed embodiment, since the first conductive layer 7 is a large-area sheet structure and the material of the first conductive layer 7 is typically a metal oxide (e.g., indium tin oxide), while the material of the fifth common trace 25 is typically a metal with better conductivity than metal oxide, electrically connecting the first conductive layer 7 to the fifth common trace 25 can reduce the resistance of the first conductive layer 7.
[0223] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figures 2A-2J, 3A-3J, 4A-4J, and 5A-5J, the data line 3 may be located on the side of the gate line 2 facing away from the substrate 1, the first conductive layer 7 may be located on the side of the data line 3 facing away from the gate line 2, the pixel electrode 4 may be located on the side of the first conductive layer 7 facing away from the data line 3, a gate insulating layer may 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 may be provided between the gate insulating layer and the data line 3 (the active layer may include an active pattern 6, and the active layer material may be amorphous silicon, low-temperature polycrystalline silicon, metal oxide, or other materials, which are not limited here), a first insulating layer 91 may be provided between the data line 3 and the first conductive layer 7, and a second insulating layer 92 may be provided between the first conductive layer 7 and the pixel electrode 4.
[0224] In one possible embodiment, the via KD may penetrate each film layer between the fifth common trace 25 and the first conductive layer 7 to electrically connect the first conductive layer 7 to the fifth common trace 25. In one possible embodiment, the via KD may penetrate the gate insulating layer, the first insulating layer 91, and the second insulating layer 92.
[0225] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 4A-4J and 5A-5J, the fifth common trace 25 has a first common protrusion 251 on the side facing the gate line 2; at least a portion of the orthographic projection of the first common protrusion 251 on the substrate 1 overlaps at least a portion of the orthographic projection of the via KD on the substrate. In the disclosed embodiment, the fifth common trace 25 has the first common protrusion 251 on the side facing the gate line 2 so that the fifth common trace 25 has sufficient area to achieve electrical connection with the first conductive layer 7 through the via KD.
[0226] In a possible implementation, referring to FIG. 4C and FIG. 5C , a length d1 of the first common protrusion 251 in the second direction Y is greater than a length d2 of the fifth common trace 25 in the second direction Y.
[0227] In one possible embodiment, as shown in FIG4C and FIG5C , the gate line 2 has a first recess 201 on the side facing the fifth common line 25, which is opposite to the first common protrusion 251. This matches the design of the first common protrusion 251 on the fifth common line 25, thereby preventing the first common protrusion 251 from contacting the gate line 2.
[0228] In one possible embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4C and FIG. 5C , a fifth overlapping portion PD5 is provided on one side of the pixel electrode 4; a second notch 202 is provided on the side of the gate line 2 facing the fifth common trace 25; and the orthographic projection of the second notch 202 on the substrate 1 covers the orthographic projection of the fifth overlapping portion PD5 on the substrate 1. This prevents the gate line 2 and the fifth overlapping portion PD5 from overlapping, thereby preventing the generation of coupling capacitance between the two, which would increase the load on the gate line 2 and affect signal transmission on the gate line 2.
[0229] In one possible embodiment, referring to FIG. 4C and FIG. 5C , the array substrate may be provided with only one fifth transistor T5 at each pixel electrode 4. The fifth transistor T5 may include: a gate TA, an active pattern 5, a first electrode TB, and a second electrode TC; wherein the second electrode TC may include: a first portion T5C1 of the fifth transistor and a second portion T5C2 of the fifth transistor distributed in sequence along the first direction X. The orthographic projection of the second portion T5C2 of the fifth transistor on the substrate 1 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the fifth overlapping portion PD5 on the substrate 1. In this way, the fifth overlapping portion PD5 is electrically connected to the second portion T5C2 of the fifth transistor via a first insulating layer via 910 penetrating the first insulating layer 91 and a second insulating layer via 920 penetrating the second insulating layer 92, thereby further realizing electrical connection between the pixel electrode 4 and the fifth transistor T5.
[0230] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figures 4A to 4J and Figures 5A to 5J, the first conductive layer 7 further includes a conductive layer hollow 70, and the orthographic projection of the conductive layer hollow 70 on the substrate 1 has an overlapping area with the orthographic projection of the fifth overlapping portion PD5 on the substrate 1. In this way, the fifth overlapping portion PD5 is also electrically connected to the second portion T5C2 of the fifth transistor through the conductive layer hollow 70, thereby further realizing the electrical connection between the pixel electrode 4 and the fifth transistor T5.
[0231] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 4A-4J , the pixel electrode 4 includes: a first sub-electrode portion P1, a second sub-electrode portion P2, a third sub-electrode portion P3, and a fourth sub-electrode portion P4, sequentially distributed along the second direction Y; the first sub-electrode portion P1 extends in a direction different from that of the second sub-electrode portion P2; and the third sub-electrode portion extends in a direction different from that of the fourth sub-electrode portion. This allows the pixel electrode 4 to match the bend of the data line 3, aligning the fringe electric field of the pixel electrode 4 with the internal electric field of the pixel electrode 4, reducing or eliminating liquid crystal turbulence, improving dark fringes on the edges of the pixel electrode 4, and improving left-right viewing angle color deviation of the display panel.
[0232] In one possible embodiment, referring to Figures 4A to 4J , the extension direction of the first sub-electrode portion is the same as the extension direction of the fourth sub-electrode portion P3; the extension direction of the second sub-electrode portion P4 is the same as the extension direction of the third sub-electrode portion P3. Specifically, for example, referring to Figures 4A to 4J , the angle formed by the extension direction of the first sub-electrode portion P1 and the first direction X can be 40° to 50°, for example, 45°; the angle formed by the extension direction of the second sub-electrode portion P2 and the first direction X can be 130° to 140°, for example, 135°; the angle formed by the extension direction of the third sub-electrode portion P3 and the first direction X can be 40° to 50°, for example, 45°; and the angle formed by the extension direction of the fourth sub-electrode portion P4 and the first direction X can be 130° to 140°, for example, 135°.
[0233] As shown in Figures 4A-4J , the slits F in the first sub-electrode section P1 extend in the same direction as the first sub-electrode section P1; the slits F in the second sub-electrode section P2 extend in the same direction as the second sub-electrode section P2; the slits F in the third sub-electrode section P3 extend in the same direction as the third sub-electrode section P3; and the slits F in the fourth sub-electrode section P4 extend in the same direction as the fourth sub-electrode section P4. This aligns the fringe electric field of pixel electrode 4 with the internal electric field of pixel electrode 4, reducing or eliminating liquid crystal turbulence, improving dark fringes on the edge of pixel electrode 4, and improving left-right viewing angle color shift in the display panel.
[0234] In one possible embodiment, the length of the slit F in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction may be 2 μm to 4 μm. Specifically, the length of the slit F in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction may be 3 μm. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the array substrate provided based on the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the length of the slit F in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction is reduced to 3 μm, the dark lines almost disappear.
[0235] Specifically, referring to Figures 4A to 4J, the angle formed by the extension direction of the slit F of the first sub-electrode portion P1 and the first direction X can be 40° to 50°, for example, 45°; the angle formed by the extension direction of the slit F of the second sub-electrode portion P2 and the first direction X can be 130° to 140°, for example, 135°; the angle formed by the extension direction of the slit F of the third sub-electrode portion P3 and the first direction X can be 40° to 50°, for example, 45°; the angle formed by the extension direction of the slit F of the fourth sub-electrode portion P4 and the first direction X can be 130° to 140°, for example, 135°.
[0236] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 4A-4J , the data line 3 includes: a first data portion 31 located on one side of the first sub-electrode portion P1 and extending in the same direction as the first sub-electrode portion; a second data portion 32 located on one side of the second sub-electrode portion P2 and extending in the same direction as the second sub-electrode portion P2; a third data portion 33 located on one side of the third sub-electrode portion P3 and extending in the same direction as the third sub-electrode portion P3; and a fourth data portion 34 located on one side of the fourth sub-electrode portion P4 and extending in the same direction as the fourth sub-electrode portion P4; the second data portion 32 is directly connected to the third data portion 33. In this way, the bending shape of the data line 3 is consistent with the bending shape of the pixel electrode 4, aligning the directions of the fringe electric field of the pixel electrode 4 and the internal electric field of the pixel electrode 4. This reduces or eliminates liquid crystal turbulence, improves dark fringes on the edge of the pixel electrode 4, and improves left-right viewing angle color deviation of the display panel.
[0237] In one possible embodiment, as shown in Figures 5A-5J , the pixel electrode 4 includes: a fifth sub-electrode portion P5, a sixth sub-electrode portion P6, and a seventh sub-electrode portion P7, sequentially distributed along the second direction Y; the fifth sub-electrode portion P5 extends in the same direction as the seventh sub-electrode portion P7; the sixth sub-electrode portion P6 extends in a different direction than the fifth sub-electrode portion P5; the extension length b1 of the sixth sub-electrode portion P6 is greater than the extension length b2 of the fifth sub-electrode portion P5 and greater than the extension length b3 of the seventh sub-electrode portion P7. The extension length b2 of the fifth sub-electrode portion P5 can be equal to the extension length b3 of the seventh sub-electrode portion P7. In one possible embodiment, the extension length b1 of the sixth sub-electrode portion P6 can be 1.5 to 3 times the extension length b2 of the fifth sub-electrode portion P5; in another possible embodiment, the extension length b1 of the sixth sub-electrode portion P6 can be twice the extension length b2 of the fifth sub-electrode portion P5.
[0238] In a possible embodiment, referring to Figures 5A to 5J, the angle formed by the extension direction of the fifth sub-electrode portion P5 and the first direction X may be 40° to 50°, for example, 45°; the angle formed by the extension direction of the sixth sub-electrode portion P6 and the first direction X may be 130° to 140°, for example, 135°; the angle formed by the extension direction of the seventh sub-electrode portion P7 and the first direction X may be 40° to 50°, for example, 45°.

This aligns the fringe electric field of pixel electrode 4 with the internal electric field of pixel electrode 4, reducing or eliminating liquid crystal turbulence, improving dark fringes on the edges of pixel electrode 4, and improving left-right viewing angle color shift in the display panel.
[0240] In one possible embodiment, the length of the slit F in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction may be 2 μm to 4 μm. Specifically, the length of the slit F in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction may be 3 μm. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the array substrate provided based on the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the length of the slit F in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction is reduced to 3 μm, the dark lines almost disappear.
[0241] Specifically, referring to Figures 5A to 5J, the angle formed by the extension direction of the slit F of the fifth sub-electrode portion P5 and the first direction X can be 40° to 50°, for example, it can be 45°; the angle formed by the extension direction of the slit F of the sixth sub-electrode portion P6 and the first direction X can be 130° to 140°, for example, it can be 135°; the angle formed by the extension direction of the slit F of the seventh sub-electrode portion P7 and the first direction X can be 40° to 50°, for example, it can be 45°.

In this way, the bending shape of the data line 3 is consistent with the bending shape of the pixel electrode 4, so that the fringe electric field of the pixel electrode 4 and the internal electric field of the pixel electrode 4 are in the same direction, reducing or eliminating liquid crystal disorder, improving the dark lines on the edge of the pixel electrode 4, and improving the left-right viewing angle color deviation of the display panel.
