[0069] Detailed description

[0070] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0071] In static images, document reading, and other display scenarios where frame rates are not critical, users can select the appropriate frequency based on their needs. The system can also detect the monitor's usage and decide whether to switch to a lower refresh rate. Lowering the refresh rate can reduce power consumption and extend battery life. For example, reducing the refresh rate from 60Hz to 20Hz can reduce power consumption from 1.2W to 1.01W.

[0072] However, when the refresh rate is very low, the pixel voltage may drop significantly during the hold phase, causing the sub-pixel brightness to change and produce noticeable flicker. After the sub-pixel's switching transistor is turned off, the sub-pixel charging is completed. Because the insulation between the first electrode and the common electrode, between adjacent sub-pixels, and within the liquid crystal cell is not ideal, when the refresh rate is very low and the hold phase is very long, the pixel voltage is difficult to maintain, and even a very small leakage current can cause a significant drop in the pixel voltage.

[0073] 1 shows a relationship curve between storage capacitance and pixel voltage retention rate. It can be seen from FIG1 that as the storage capacitance Cst increases, the pixel voltage retention rate VHR increases, that is, in the retention stage, the pixel voltage change rate decreases.

[0074] Figure 2 shows the variation of sub-pixel brightness LV over time t at different storage capacitors Cst when the refresh rate of the display panel switches from 60Hz to 1Hz. Figure 2 shows that the larger the storage capacitor Cst, the smaller the change in brightness LV after switching to 1Hz. Figure 3 shows the relationship between the low-frequency flicker value (flicker) and the storage capacitor Cst. Figure 3 shows that the larger the storage capacitor Cst, the smaller the flicker value (flicker) after switching to 1Hz.

[0075] Therefore, increasing the storage capacitor Cst is an effective means to improve the pixel voltage retention rate, reduce the brightness change of the sub-pixel during the retention phase, and reduce the flicker value.

[0076] In this disclosure, a transistor refers to a device comprising at least three terminals: a gate, a drain, and a source. A transistor has a channel region between the drain (drain terminal, drain region, or drain) and the source (source terminal, source region, or source), and current can flow through the drain, channel region, and source. In this disclosure, the channel region refers to the region through which current primarily flows.

[0077] In the present disclosure, the transistor may be a thin film transistor or a field effect transistor, etc. The present disclosure is described using a thin film transistor as an example.

[0078] In the present disclosure, the first electrode may be a drain and the second electrode may be a source, or vice versa. The functions of "source" and "drain" may be interchanged when using transistors with opposite polarity or when the direction of current changes during circuit operation. Therefore, in the present disclosure, "source" and "drain" may be interchanged.

[0079] In the related art, the pixel circuit of a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel includes one or two transistors, which is relatively simple. Therefore, it can achieve an ultra-high pixel density (Pixels Per Inch, PPI), that is, the number of pixels per inch. Liquid crystal display panels have multiple display modes, such as ADS (Advanced Super Dimension Switch) mode, TN (twisted nematic) mode, and VA (Vertical Alignment) mode. In the ADS mode, the first electrode and the common electrode are both located on one side of the display substrate. In the TN mode and VA mode, the first electrode and the common electrode are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the liquid crystal layer, with the first electrode located on one side of the display substrate and the common electrode located on the opposite side of the substrate. The operating principle of the ADS mode is that the liquid crystal molecules are in a plane parallel to the base substrate. When there is no voltage, light passes through the lower polarizer and forms linear polarization parallel to the short axis of the liquid crystal molecules. The polarization direction cannot be rotated, so it is absorbed by the upper polarizer and cannot be emitted. When voltage is applied, a transverse electric field forms across the liquid crystal, causing the liquid crystal molecules to align along the electric field. Light passing through the lower polarizer and liquid crystal layer becomes elliptically polarized, allowing it to pass through the upper polarizer. The operating principle of TN mode is that in the absence of voltage, the liquid crystal molecules are twisted into a 90° alignment by the alignment films. Light passes through the lower polarizer and liquid crystal molecules and then exits through the upper polarizer. When voltage is applied, most of the liquid crystal molecules, except for those near the upper and lower alignment films, align perpendicularly. Light passing through the lower polarizer passes through the liquid crystal layer undeflected. However, since its polarization axis is parallel to the upper polarizer's, it is absorbed and prevented from exiting. The operating principle of VA mode is that the liquid crystal molecules are oriented perpendicularly to the substrate. In the absence of voltage, light passing through the lower polarizer becomes linearly polarized, parallel to the short axis of the liquid crystal molecules. This polarization axis cannot be rotated, so it is absorbed by the upper polarizer and prevented from exiting. When voltage is applied, the liquid crystal molecules are deflected along the electric field, causing light to become elliptically polarized after passing through the lower polarizer and liquid crystal layer, allowing it to exit through the upper polarizer.

[0080] The structure of the display substrate is introduced below using the ADS mode as an example.

[0081] The present disclosure provides a display substrate, as shown in FIG4 , comprising a base substrate 51, the base substrate 51 including a display area AA and a non-display area NA surrounding the display area AA. The display area AA includes a plurality of sub-pixels PX, which are arranged in an array, for example, along row directions ro and column directions co.

[0082] For example, as shown in FIG4 , the display area AA further includes a plurality of second traces SC and a plurality of first traces DT arranged in different directions. The orthographic projections of the second traces SC and the first traces DT on the base substrate 51 intersect with each other and define a plurality of sub-pixels PX. The plurality of second traces SC are, for example, arranged in the column direction co and extend in the row direction ro, and the plurality of first traces DT are, for example, arranged in the row direction ro and extend in the column direction co.

[0083] As shown in FIG5 , the display substrate further includes: a thin film transistor array 52 , a first conductive layer 53 , a first dielectric layer 54 , a second conductive layer 55 , a second dielectric layer 56 and a third conductive layer 57 stacked sequentially on one side of a base substrate 51 , and the thin film transistor array 52 is arranged close to the base substrate 51 .

[0084] As shown in FIG4 , the thin film transistor array 52 includes a plurality of switching transistors T1 corresponding to different sub-pixels PX, with different switching transistors T1 being disposed in different sub-pixels PX. The second conductive layer 55 includes a plurality of first electrodes 551 corresponding to different sub-pixels PX, with different first electrodes 551 being spaced apart from each other and located in different sub-pixels PX.

[0085] As shown in FIG. 5 , the first electrode 551 located in the same sub-pixel PX is connected to the switch transistor T1 through the first via H1 .

[0086] Illustratively, the gate G of the switching transistor T1 is connected to the second trace SC, which provides a control signal to the gate G. The control signal is used to control the on / off state of the switching transistor T1. The first electrode S of the switching transistor T1 is connected to the first electrode 551, and the second electrode D of the switching transistor T1 is connected to the first trace DT. The first trace DT provides a drive signal to the second electrode D. When the switching transistor T1 is in the on state, the drive signal is written from the second electrode D of the switching transistor T1 to the first electrode S of the switching transistor T1, and then to the first electrode 551.

[0087] In the present disclosure, the first conductive layer 53 and the third conductive layer 57 are arranged in different layers, and the first conductive layer 53 and the third conductive layer 57 are connected, that is, the voltage on the first conductive layer 53 and the third conductive layer 57 is the same, for example, both are a common voltage.

[0088] As shown in FIG5 , the first conductive layer 53 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first electrode 551 on the base substrate 51 to form a first storage capacitor Cst1 , and the third conductive layer 57 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first electrode 551 on the base substrate 51 to form a second storage capacitor Cst2 .

[0089] For each sub-pixel PX, the first conductive layer 53 and the first electrode 551 of the sub-pixel PX form a first storage capacitor Cst1, and the third conductive layer 57 and the first electrode 551 of the sub-pixel PX form a second storage capacitor Cst2. The total storage capacitance of the sub-pixel PX is Cst=Cst1+Cst2.

[0090] The display substrate provided by the present disclosure can increase the total storage capacitance of the sub-pixels, improve the pixel voltage retention rate of the sub-pixels, help achieve ultra-low refresh rate display, and help high PPI display substrates be compatible with ultra-low refresh rate display.

[0091] As shown in Figure 5, the switching transistor T1 includes an active layer ACT. For example, the active layer ACT is made of an oxide semiconductor material such as IGZO, and may also include materials such as amorphous silicon or low-temperature polysilicon. Using an oxide semiconductor material for the active layer ACT reduces the off-state current of the switching transistor T1, further improving the pixel voltage retention ratio and helping to achieve a low refresh rate.

[0092] For example, as shown in FIG5 , the thin film transistor array 52 includes a first metal layer M1, a gate insulating layer GI, a semiconductor layer 58, and a second metal layer M2 stacked in sequence, wherein the first metal layer M1 is arranged close to the base substrate 51, the first metal layer M1 includes a second trace SC and a gate G of the switching transistor T1, the semiconductor layer 58 includes an active layer ACT of the switching transistor T1, and the second metal layer M2 includes a first trace DT, a first electrode S, and a second electrode D of the switching transistor T1.

[0093] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG5 , a third dielectric layer 59 and a planar layer PLN are further stacked between the second metal layer M2 and the first conductive layer 53 , and the third dielectric layer 59 is disposed close to the second metal layer M2 .

[0094] As shown in FIG5 , the first via H1 sequentially penetrates the first dielectric layer 54, the first conductive layer 53, the planar layer PLN, and the third dielectric layer 59. The first via H1 includes a through hole H11 disposed on the third dielectric layer 59, a through hole H12 disposed on the planar layer PLN, and a through hole H13 disposed on the first dielectric layer 54. The through hole H11 disposed on the third dielectric layer 59 and the through hole H13 disposed on the first dielectric layer 54 are formed using the same process and are located in the same position.

[0095] For example, as shown in FIG4 , the orthographic projection of the active layer ACT on the base substrate 51 overlaps the orthographic projection of the first trace DT connected to the active layer ACT on the base substrate 51 in the row direction ro. For example, the orthographic projection of the active layer ACT on the base substrate 51 is located on both sides of the orthographic projection of the first trace DT on the base substrate 51. In FIG4 , the active layer ACT extends from the left side of the first trace DT to the right side of the first trace DT. This ensures better contact between the active layer ACT and the first trace DT, preventing poor contact caused by process fluctuations.

[0096] For example, to improve the light transmittance of the display substrate, the first conductive layer 53, the second conductive layer 55, and the third conductive layer 57 are all made of transparent conductive materials, such as metal oxides such as ITO, IZO, IGZO, IGO, and ZTO. Transparent conductive materials have a higher transmittance to visible light than metal materials.

[0097] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5 a, the orthographic projection of the third conductive layer 57 on the base substrate 51 covers at least a portion of the orthographic projection of the first via H1 on the base substrate 51. For example, in FIG5 a, the orthographic projection of the third conductive layer 57 on the base substrate 51 completely covers the orthographic projection of the first via H1 on the base substrate 51.

[0098] Since the orthographic projection of the first electrode 551 on the base substrate 51 covers the orthographic projection of the first transfer hole H1 on the base substrate 51, by setting the orthographic projection of the third conductive layer 57 on the base substrate 51 to cover the orthographic projection of the first transfer hole H1 on the base substrate 51, the orthographic projections of the first electrode 551 and the third conductive layer 57 on the base substrate 51 overlap at the first transfer hole H1, which can further increase the storage capacitance.

[0099] In other embodiments, as shown in FIG5 b, the third conductive layer 57 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the first transfer hole H1 on the base substrate 51. For example, in FIG5 b, a third opening OP3 is provided on the third conductive layer 57, and the orthographic projection of the third opening OP3 on the base substrate 51 overlaps the orthographic projection of the first transfer hole H1 on the base substrate 51.

[0100] Since the first transfer hole H1 is relatively deep, the second dielectric layer 56 formed in the first transfer hole H1 is prone to defects, which may cause a short circuit between the third conductive layer 57 and the first electrode 551. By setting the orthographic projections of the third conductive layer 57 and the first transfer hole H1 on the base substrate 51 to have no overlap, that is, by setting the third opening OP3 at a position corresponding to the first transfer hole H1 in the third conductive layer 57, a short circuit can be avoided.

[0101] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 and 6, the first conductive layer 53 and the third conductive layer 57 are connected via a second transfer hole H2, and the second transfer hole H2 is projected on the base substrate 51 within the display area AA. Furthermore, the second transfer hole H2 is projected on the base substrate 51 within the non-transparent area NTA of the display area AA.

[0102] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4 , the orthographic projections of the first transfer hole H1 and the second transfer hole H2 on the base substrate 51 do not overlap.

[0103] 4 and 6 , the orthographic projection of the second transfer hole H2 on the base substrate 51 is located within the orthographic projection area of ​​the second trace SC. Of course, the orthographic projection of the second transfer hole H2 on the base substrate 51 may also be located within the orthographic projection area of ​​the first trace DT, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0104] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG4 , each sub-pixel PX is provided with a second transfer hole H2 .

[0105] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG4 , a plurality of second transfer holes H2 are arranged in an array along the row direction ro and the column direction co, and an arrangement period of the second transfer holes H2 along the row direction ro is equal to an arrangement period of the sub-pixels PX along the row direction ro, and an arrangement period of the second transfer holes H2 along the column direction co is equal to an arrangement period of the sub-pixels PX along the column direction co.

[0106] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7 , the first conductive layer 53 includes a first solid portion 71 , which encloses a plurality of first openings OP1 . Different first openings OP1 are spaced apart from each other, and the first openings OP1 are used to avoid the first transfer holes H1 .

[0107] As shown in Figures 5 and 7, since the first transfer hole H1 passes through the first conductive layer 53, in order to prevent the first electrode 551 and the first conductive layer 53 from short-circuiting at the first transfer hole H1, the hole wall of the first opening OP1 is located outside the first transfer hole H1, and the hole wall of the first opening OP1 expands outward relative to the hole wall of the first transfer hole H1.

[0108] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7 , the first solid portion 71 is an integrated structure interconnected within the entire display area AA.

[0109] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG14 , the display area AA further includes a first trace DT. The orthographic projection of the first solid portion 71 on the base substrate 51 covers the orthographic projection of the first trace DT on the base substrate 51. In a direction perpendicular to the base substrate 51, the first conductive layer 53 is located between the first trace DT and the first electrode 551. In this way, the first solid portion 71 can completely shield the coupling between the first trace DT and the first electrode 551.

[0110] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7 , the orthographic projections of the first solid portion 71 and the first opening OP1 on the base substrate 51 cover the entire display area AA.

[0111] That is, except for the first opening OP1 region, the first solid portion 71 is disposed in both the light-transmitting area TA and the non-light-transmitting area NTA of the sub-pixel PX, thereby increasing the first storage capacitor Cst1 to the greatest extent.

[0112] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 or Figure 9, the third conductive layer 57 includes a second solid material portion 81, and the second solid material portion 81 encloses a plurality of first slits SL1.

The plurality of first slits SL1 located in the same sub-pixel PX are arranged along the first direction f1, and the first slits SL1 overlap with the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX.

[0113] As shown in FIG. 8 or FIG. 9 , the plurality of first slits SL1 are spaced apart from each other, and different first slits SL1 in the same sub-pixel PX are not connected to each other and are separated by the second solid portion 81 .

[0114] 8 or 9 , different sub-pixels PX include the same number of first slits SL1 . For example, in FIG8 , each sub-pixel PX includes three first slits SL1 , and in FIG9 , each sub-pixel PX includes four first slits SL1 .

[0115] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8 , different first slits SL1 have the same width along the first direction f1.

[0116] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG9 , at least two first slits SL1 have different widths along the first direction f1. As shown in FIG9 , the multiple first slits SL1 located in the same sub-pixel PX include a first sub-slit 91 and a second sub-slit 92 . The width of the first sub-slit 91 along the first direction f1 is smaller than the width of the second sub-slit 92 along the first direction f1, and the second sub-slits 92 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the multiple first sub-slits 91 (two as shown in FIG9 ).

[0117] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8 or FIG. 9 , the second solid portion 81 includes a plurality of first extension strips 82 arranged along the first direction f1 , and the first extension strip 82 is located between two adjacent first slits SL1 arranged along the first direction f1 .

[0118] For example, as shown in FIG8 or FIG9 , at least two first extension strips 82 have different widths along the first direction f1. The plurality of first extension strips 82 include a first sub-extension strip 821 and a second sub-extension strip 822. The first sub-extension strip 821 is located between two adjacent first slits SL1 belonging to the same sub-pixel PX, and the second sub-extension strip 822 is located between two adjacent first slits SL1 belonging to different sub-pixels PX. The width of the first sub-extension strip 821 along the first direction f1 is less than or equal to the width of the second sub-extension strip 822 along the first direction f1.

[0119] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 8 or FIG. 9 , the second sub-extension strips 822 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of a plurality of first sub-extension strips 821 (two as shown in FIG. 8 , three as shown in FIG. 9 ).

[0120] As shown in FIG. 9 , the first sub-slit 91 is a gap between two first sub-extension strips 821 , and the second sub-slit 92 is a gap between the first sub-extension strip 821 and the second sub-extension strip 822 .

[0121] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG8 or FIG9 , the extension direction of the first slit SL1 is parallel to the extension direction of the first trace DT. In this case, the first direction f1 is, for example, parallel to the row direction ro. Of course, the extension direction of the first slit SL1 may also be parallel to the extension direction of the second trace SC. In this case, the first direction f1 is, for example, parallel to the column direction co.

[0122] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG10 , the third conductive layer 57 includes a third solid material portion 101 , which encloses a plurality of second openings OP2 , wherein different second openings OP2 are located in different sub-pixels PX and are separated by the third solid material portion 101 , and the orthographic projection of the second openings OP2 on the base substrate 51 covers the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX.

[0123] That is, the orthographic projection of the third material portion 101 on the base substrate 51 does not overlap with the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX. By setting a second opening OP2 at a position corresponding to the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX in the third conductive layer 57, the transmittance of the display substrate can be further improved.

[0124] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8 to FIG. 10 , the solid portion of the third conductive layer 57 is an integrated structure interconnected within the entire display area AA.

[0125] In Figures 8 and 9 , the solid portion of the third conductive layer 57 is the second solid portion 81, which is interconnected and integrated throughout the display area AA. In Figure 10 , the solid portion of the third conductive layer 57 is the third solid portion 101, which is interconnected and integrated throughout the display area AA.

[0126] In order to further increase the storage capacitance, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 , the orthographic projection of the third conductive layer 57 on the base substrate 51 may cover the non-light-transmitting area NTA in the display area AA.

[0127] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG11 , the first electrode 551 is a solid block structure 111, and the solid block structure 111 at least partially covers the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX when projected on the base substrate 51. Furthermore, the solid block structure 111 can completely cover the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX when projected on the base substrate 51.

[0128] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG12 , the first electrode 551 includes a fourth material portion 121 , which encloses a plurality of second slits SL2 . The plurality of second slits SL2 within the same first electrode 551 are arranged along the second direction f2 , and the second slits SL2 overlap with the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX.

[0129] As shown in FIG. 12 , the plurality of second slits SL2 are spaced apart from each other. Different second slits SL2 in the same sub-pixel PX are not connected to each other and are separated by the fourth material portion 121 .

[0130] Exemplarily, as shown in Fig. 12 , different sub-pixels PX include the same number of second slits SL2 . For example, in Fig. 12 , each sub-pixel PX includes three second slits SL2 .

[0131] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 12 , different second slits SL2 have the same width along the second direction f2.

[0132] Exemplarily, the extending direction of the second slit SL2 is parallel to the extending direction of the first trace DT. In this case, the second direction f2 is parallel to the row direction ro.

[0133] The display substrate provided by the present disclosure is exemplarily described below with reference to Figures 13 to 18.

FIG18 , FIG5 and FIG6 are schematic cross-sectional views of the structures along positions aa′, bb′ and cc′ in FIG17 , respectively.

[0134] In the first example, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 , the orthographic projection of the first conductive layer 53 on the base substrate 51 covers the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX.

[0135] As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 , the first electrode 551 is a solid block structure 111 . The solid block structure 111 is projected onto the base substrate 51 to cover the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX.

[0136] As shown in Figures 13 and 14, the third conductive layer 57 includes a second solid material portion 81, which encloses a plurality of first slits SL1. The plurality of first slits SL1 located in the same sub-pixel PX are arranged along a first direction f1 (such as a row direction ro), and the first slits SL1 overlap with the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX.

[0137] As shown in Figure 13, the first slit SL1 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the solid block structure 111 on the base substrate 51. In this way, the second solid material portion 81 located between the first slit SL1 and the first electrode 551 of the solid block structure 111 form a horizontal electric field (i.e., an electric field parallel to the plane of the base substrate 51) to drive the liquid crystal molecules to deflect.

[0138] In the second example, as shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 , the orthographic projection of the first conductive layer 53 on the base substrate 51 covers the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX.

[0139] As shown in Figures 15 and 16, the first electrode 551 includes a fourth solid material portion 121, which encloses a plurality of second slits SL2. The plurality of second slits SL2 located in the same first electrode 551 are arranged along the second direction f2, and the second slits SL2 overlap with the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX.

[0140] As shown in Figures 15 and 16, the third conductive layer 57 includes a third solid material portion 101, which encloses a plurality of second openings OP2. Different second openings OP2 are located in different sub-pixels PX and are separated by the third solid material portion 101. The orthographic projection of the second openings OP2 on the base substrate 51 covers the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX.

[0141] In this example, since the orthographic projection of the first conductive layer 53 on the base substrate 51 covers the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX, the fourth solid material portion 121 located between the second slits SL2 and the first conductive layer 53 form a horizontal electric field (i.e., an electric field parallel to the plane of the base substrate 51) to drive the liquid crystal molecules to deflect.

[0142] In the third example, as shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 , the orthographic projection of the first conductive layer 53 on the base substrate 51 covers the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX.

[0143] As shown in Figures 17 and 18, the first electrode 551 includes a fourth solid material portion 121, which encloses a plurality of second slits SL2. The plurality of second slits SL2 located in the same first electrode 551 are arranged along the second direction f2, and the second slits SL2 overlap with the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX. The fourth solid material portion 121 includes a plurality of second extension strips 171, and the second extension strip 171 is located between two adjacent second slits SL2 arranged along the second direction f2.

[0144] As shown in FIG17 and FIG18, the third conductive layer 57 includes a second solid portion 81, and the second solid portion 81 surrounds and forms a plurality of first slits SL1. The plurality of first slits SL1 located in the same sub-pixel PX are

[0145] The first slits SL1 are arranged along the first direction f1 , and overlap with the light-transmitting area TA of the sub-pixel PX. The second solid portion 81 includes a plurality of first extension strips 82 , and the first extension strips 82 are located between two adjacent first slits SL1 arranged along the first direction f1 .

[0146] The second direction f2 is parallel to the first direction f1 , the extension directions of the second extension strips 171 and the first extension strips 82 are parallel to each other, and the orthographic projections of the second extension strips 171 and the first extension strips 82 on the base substrate 51 are alternately arranged in the first direction f1 .

[0147] In this example, the second extension strips 171 between the second slits SL2 and the first extension strips 82 between the first slits SL1 form a horizontal electric field (ie, an electric field parallel to the plane of the base substrate 51 ) to drive the liquid crystal molecules to deflect.

[0148] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG18 , the second extension bar 171 and the first extension bar 82 that are close to each other have a gap in the first direction f1, that is, the second extension bar 171 and the first extension bar 82 that are close to each other are separated from each other in the first direction f1, so as to avoid the second extension bar 171 and the first extension bar 82 overlapping to produce steps.
