[0086] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort belong within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0087] Unless otherwise defined, technical terms or scientific terms used in the present disclosure shall have the ordinary meanings as understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure pertains. The terms "first", "second", and similar terms used in the present disclosure do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but are used to distinguish different components. The terms "include", "contain", and similar terms mean that the elements or objects before the terms encompass the elements or objects listed after the terms and their equivalents, and do not exclude other elements or objects. The terms "connect" or "connected" and similar terms are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. The terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", and the like are used only to represent relative positional relationships, and when the absolute positions of the described objects are changed, the relative positional relationships can also be changed accordingly.
[0088] As used herein, "about" or "approximately" includes the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviation for a particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the discussion pertains and which relates to the error in measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., limitations of the measurement system). For example, "approximately" can mean that the difference with respect to the stated value is within one or more standard deviations, or within a range of ±30%, 20%, 10%, 5%.
[0089] In the drawings, the thicknesses of layers, films, panels, regions, etc., are exaggerated for clarity. Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments described herein are not to be construed as being limited to the particular shapes of regions as illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, an area illustrated or described as flat can typically have rough and / or nonlinear features. Moreover, sharp angles that are illustrated can 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 a region and are not intended to limit the scope of the present claims.
[0090] In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, detailed descriptions of known functions and known components are omitted.
[0091] In recent years, TV products are constantly developing products with reduced costs while improving product specifications. For example, the pixel structure has undergone Single Gate → Dual Gate → Triple Gate technical evolution. Dual Gate display products can reduce the number of COFs by 1 / 2, and Triple Gate display products can reduce the number of COFs by 2 / 3. However, the current display panel reduces the number of COFs, which also reduces the resolution of the display panel.
[0092] Therefore, referring to FIGS. 1A-1E, 3, 4, 5A-5E, wherein FIG. 1B is a single film layer schematic diagram of the pixel electrode layer in FIG. 1A, FIG. 1C is a single film layer schematic diagram of the layer where the gate lines are located in FIG. 1A, FIG. 1D is a single film layer schematic diagram including the layer where the data lines are located in FIG. 1A, and FIG. 1E is a schematic diagram of the stack of the pixel electrode layer and the gate line layer in FIG. 1A, an array substrate is provided in the embodiments of the present application, comprising: a substrate, a plurality of pixel electrode groups 1 located on one side of the substrate, a plurality of gate line groups 2 extending along a first direction X, a plurality of data lines 3 extending along a second direction Y, and a plurality of transistors T; wherein the pixel electrode groups 1 are located in the area formed by the intersection of the gate line groups 2 and the data lines 3, the gate line groups 2 include two gate lines 20 extending along the first direction X; the two gate lines 20 of the same gate line group 2 can be located between two adjacent pixel electrode rows;
[0093] The pixel electrode group 1 includes two pixel electrodes 10, the two pixel electrodes 10 of the same pixel electrode group 1 are electrically connected to the same data line 3 through different transistors T, and the length a1 of the pixel electrode 10 in the first direction X is greater than the length a2 in the second direction Y. Specifically, in combination with FIG. 1A, the pixel electrode group 1 includes a first pixel electrode 11 and a second pixel electrode 12, the first pixel electrode 11 is electrically connected to the left data line 3 through the first transistor T1, and the second pixel electrode 12 is electrically connected to the left data line 3 through the second transistor T2.
[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, the length a1 of the pixel electrode 10 in the first direction X is greater than the length a2 in the second direction Y, the pixel electrode 10 adopts a horizontal placement mode, the two pixel electrodes 10 of the same pixel electrode group 1 are electrically connected to the same data line 3 through different transistors T, compared with the conventional single-gate structure display product, the number of flexible circuit boards COF (and / or control chips IC) driving the data line 3 can be greatly reduced without loss of resolution, for example, it can be 1 / 6 of the original, reducing production cost; moreover, the pixel architecture data line 3 can realize pixel-level 2dot flipping by frame flipping, that is, in combination with FIG. 4, for example, the periphery of two positive polarity sub-pixels is negative polarity sub-pixel, compared with the two-column positive polarity or two-column negative polarity sub-pixel distribution mode shown in FIG. 7A, the pixel architecture shown in FIG. 4 can make the panel brightness uniformity better; moreover, the conventional 2dot flipping mode needs to load positive polarity signals on two rows of sub-pixels on the same data line within one frame, and two rows of sub-pixels load negative polarity signals, while frame flipping is to load positive polarity signals or negative polarity signals on the same data line within one frame, frame flipping has the advantages of low power consumption and less heat of integrated circuit chip (IC) compared with 2dot flipping mode, and the embodiment of the present application can realize the effect of 2dot flipping by frame flipping, which can make the display panel have the advantages of low power consumption and less heat of integrated circuit chip (IC) under the condition of better display panel brightness uniformity.
[0095] In a possible implementation, referring to FIGS. 1A-1E and FIG. 4, the two pixel electrodes of the pixel electrode group 1 are respectively a first pixel electrode 11 and a second pixel electrode 12, the second pixel electrode 12 is located on a side of the first pixel electrode 11 away from the data line 3 to which the first pixel electrode 11 is electrically connected; the layer where the gate line 20 is located further includes: a first connecting part 4 extending along the first direction X; the first connecting part 4 is in direct contact with the second pixel electrode 12 and is electrically connected thereto, and the second pixel electrode 12 is electrically connected to the transistor T through the first connecting part 4. In the process of forming the array substrate, the pixel electrode layer can be formed first, and then the gate line 20 layer is formed. The pixel electrode layer and the gate line layer can be prepared using the same mask, and the pixel electrode 10 and the gate line 20 are spaced apart from each other to achieve mutual insulation. The first connecting part 4 of the gate line 20 layer can be overlapped with the second pixel electrode 12 to achieve electrical connection between the first connecting part 4 and the second pixel electrode 12. The first connecting part 4 can serve as part of the second electrode TB of the transistor electrically connected to the second pixel electrode 12. The second electrode TB of the transistor made of the gate line 20 layer can reduce the wiring resistance (relative to the material of the pixel electrode layer or the common electrode layer).
[0096] In a possible implementation, referring to FIG. 1C, the first connecting part 4 includes: a first sub-connecting part 41 extending along the first direction X, and a second sub-connecting part 42 connected to one end of the first sub-connecting part 41; the width b2 of the second sub-connecting part 42 in the second direction Y is greater than the width b1 of the first sub-connecting part 41 in the second direction Y; the first sub-connecting part 41 is in direct contact with the second pixel electrode 12 and is electrically connected thereto; the orthographic projection of the second sub-connecting part 42 on the substrate overlaps the orthographic projection of the transistor T on the substrate. In the embodiment of the present application, the first sub-connecting part 41 has a small line width, which can avoid the problem that a large line width of the first sub-connecting part 41 affects the transmittance of the array substrate, and the second sub-connecting part 42 has a large line width, which can achieve good lapping with the transistor.
[0097] It should be noted that the first sub-connecting part 41 extends along the first direction X, which can be understood as that the main direction of the first sub-connecting part 41 extends along the first direction X, but there can be a bending part at a local position, for example, the first sub-connecting part 41 has a bending part at the position overlapped with the common wiring 7.
[0098] In a possible implementation, referring to FIG. 1C, the line width b1 of the first sub-connecting part 41 in the second direction Y is less than the minimum distance b3 between the first connecting part 4 and the gate line 20. That is, by setting the line width of the first sub-connecting part 41 to be small, the problem that a large line width of the first sub-connecting part 41 affects the transmittance of the array substrate can be avoided.
[0099] Optionally, the minimum distance b3 between the first connecting part 4 and the gate line 20 can be in the range of 5.5 μm to 9 μm, so as to avoid short circuit connection between the first connecting part 4 and the gate line 20. For example, the minimum distance b3 between the first connecting part 4 and the gate line 20 can be 5.5 μm, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm or 9 μm; and the line width b1 of the first sub connecting part 41 in the second direction Y can be in the range of 4 μm to 5 μm.
[0100] In a possible implementation, as shown in FIG. 1B and FIG. 1E, the first pixel electrode 11 has a first outer edge w1 along the first direction X and close to one side of the first connecting part 4, and the second pixel electrode 12 has a second outer edge w2 along the first direction X and close to one side of the first connecting part 4; the extension line of the second outer edge w2 in the orthographic projection of the substrate is located in the region between the orthographic projection of the first outer edge w1 on the substrate and the orthographic projection of the first connecting part 4 on the substrate. That is, as shown in FIG. 1B, in the embodiment of the present application, the second outer edge w2 of the second pixel electrode 12 is convex to the first outer edge w1 of the first pixel electrode 11, so as to realize the overlap between the second pixel electrode 12 and the first connecting part 4, and the first pixel electrode 11 does not contact the first connecting part 4.
[0101] In a possible implementation, as shown in FIG. 1A, the array substrate includes a first data line 31 and a second data line 32 adjacent to the pixel electrode group 1; wherein the pixel electrode 10 in the pixel electrode group 1 is electrically connected to the first data line 31 through different transistors T; the second pixel electrode 12 is located on the side of the first pixel electrode 11 away from the first data line 31; that is, the data lines 3 on both sides of the pixel electrode group 1 can be divided into the first data line 31 and the second data line 32, wherein the data line 3 electrically connected to the two pixel electrodes 10 in the pixel electrode group 1 is taken as the first data line 31, and the data line 3 not electrically connected to the two pixel electrodes 10 in the pixel electrode group 1 is taken as the second data line 32. For example, as shown in FIG. 1A, the two pixel electrodes 10 in the pixel electrode group 1 on the top are electrically connected to the data line 3 on the left, so the data line 3 on the left can be taken as the first data line 31, and the data line 3 on the right can be taken as the second data line 32.
[0102] Referring to FIG. 1A, the minimum spacing c2 between the second pixel electrode 12 and the second data line 32 in the first direction X is greater than the minimum spacing c1 between the first pixel electrode 11 and the first data line 31 in the first direction. Since the second outer edge w2 of the second pixel electrode 12 protrudes outwardly beyond the first outer edge w1 of the first pixel electrode 11, the overlapping area of the second pixel electrode 12 with the common electrode layer in the second direction Y is greater than the overlapping area of the first pixel electrode 11 with the common electrode layer. In the embodiment of the present application, the second pixel electrode 12 and the second data line 32 have a large gap therebetween, i.e., the maximum length of the second pixel electrode 12 in the first direction X is less than the maximum length of the first pixel electrode 11 in the first direction X, so as to reduce the overlapping area of the second pixel electrode 12 with the subsequently formed common electrode layer in the first direction X, and further make the overlapping area of the entire first pixel electrode 11 with the common electrode layer substantially equal to the overlapping area of the entire second pixel electrode 12 with the common electrode layer, so as to avoid the problem that the display abnormalities (e.g., causing poor pixel brightness uniformity) occur at the same time.
