Description

Array substrate and display device Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and more particularly to an array substrate and a display device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, as panel resolution and panel size continue to increase, in order to ensure pixel charging rate and the driving capability of GOA (Gate On Array, gate drive circuit set on array substrate) circuit, the number of clock signal lines is also increasing, from the initial two clock signal lines to the currently commonly used 10 clock signal lines, 12 clock signal lines, and even 16 clock signal lines. The increased number of clock signal lines has three main impacts: First, it places higher demands on the level shifters (level converters) in the driver integrated circuits, requiring more signal channels and increasing the cost of level shifters. Second, it increases the number of pins on the bonding leads of the panel, requiring a reduction in the width of individual pins or the spacing between pins, which increases the probability of pin misses. Third, the GOA (Glass Outer Array) circuits of a typical panel are located on the left and right bezels. The signal lines electrically connected to the GOA circuits need to be routed from the bonding area to the left and right bezels of the panel, and the traces in between are PLG (Pattern Line On Glass) traces. The clock signal is a square wave signal, and its frequency is related to the panel's resolution and refresh rate. One clock signal line typically connects multiple GOA circuits. The TFTs (Thin Film Transistors) in the GOA circuits have parasitic capacitance, so the clock signal line generates charging and discharging current during normal operation. The magnitude of the current is usually related to the clock signal frequency, the total resistance of the clock signal line, and the size of the parasitic capacitance on the clock signal line. The current on the clock signal lines ultimately converges at the PLG trace, where the current is at its maximum. When there are many clock signal lines, the layout space for the PLG traces is limited, and the PLG traces corresponding to each clock signal line need to be narrowed. After the PLG traces are narrowed, the resistance per unit length at the PLG traces increases. When the current remains constant, the increased resistance will cause more heat to be generated at that location, and the temperature at that location will rise. Therefore, in high-resolution, high-refresh-rate display products, the temperature of the PLG traces is a challenging issue.

[0071] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0072] In all embodiments of this disclosure, the transistors used can be thin-film transistors, field-effect transistors, or other devices with similar characteristics. In the embodiments of this disclosure, to distinguish the two terminals of the transistor other than the gate, one terminal is referred to as the first terminal and the other as the second terminal.

[0073] In actual operation, when the transistor is a thin-film transistor or a field-effect transistor, the first electrode can be the drain and the second electrode can be the source; or, the first electrode can be the source and the second electrode can be the drain.

[0074] The array substrate described in this embodiment includes a first gate driving module disposed in the first frame region, a second gate driving module disposed in the second frame region, and a bonding region disposed in the third frame region; the array substrate also includes a plurality of first signal lines and a plurality of second signal lines, at least a portion of the first signal lines being disposed in the first frame region, and the second signal lines being disposed in the second frame region; the first frame region and the second frame region are disposed on opposite sides of the display area;

[0075] The first gate driving module is electrically connected to the plurality of first signal lines and is used to receive electrical signals provided by the first signal lines; the second gate driving module is electrically connected to the plurality of second signal lines and is used to receive electrical signals provided by the second signal lines.

[0076] The plurality of first signal lines include at least one first portion first signal line and at least one second portion first signal line; the plurality of second signal lines include at least one first portion second signal line and at least one second portion second signal line;

[0077] The first signal line in the first portion is electrically connected to a pin disposed in the bonding area via a first trace; at least a portion of the first trace is disposed in a first wiring space; the first wiring space is disposed between the first border area and the bonding area;

[0078] The first portion of the second signal line is electrically connected to a pin disposed in the bonding area via a second trace; at least a portion of the second trace is disposed in a second wiring space; the second wiring space is disposed between the second border area and the bonding area;

[0079] The second part of the first signal line is electrically connected to the corresponding first part of the second signal line through the connecting line disposed in the fourth frame area; the second part of the second signal line is electrically connected to the corresponding first part of the first signal line through the connecting line disposed in the fourth frame area.

[0080] The third border area and the fourth border area are located on opposite sides of the display area.

[0081] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, a driver integrated circuit may be disposed in the bonding area; the driver integrated circuit provides corresponding electrical signals to each signal line; or,

[0082] A flexible circuit board can be bonded to the bonding area, and a driver integrated circuit can be disposed on the flexible circuit board to provide corresponding electrical signals to each signal line.

[0083] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, a first portion of the first signal lines among a plurality of first signal lines disposed in the first frame region is configured to be electrically connected to a corresponding pin disposed in the bonding region via a first trace, and a first portion of the second signal lines among a plurality of second signal lines disposed in the second frame region is configured to be electrically connected to a corresponding pin disposed in the bonding region via a second trace. The first trace and the second trace are PLG traces, which are disposed in the PLG wiring space. This reduces the number of PLG traces, increases the linewidth of the PLG traces, prevents the temperature at the PLG traces from rising, and effectively improves the problems of a large number of signal channels, insufficient PLG wiring space, and too many bonding pins in the driver integrated circuits of high-resolution and high-refresh-rate display panels.

[0084] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the second portion of the first signal line is electrically connected to the corresponding first portion of the second signal line via a connecting line disposed in the fourth border area, and receives the electrical signal provided by the first portion of the second signal line;

[0087] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, in the display panel, a first gate driving module is disposed on the left side of the display area, and a second gate driving module is disposed on the right side of the display area. For a scan line, there is a GOA circuit at each end to drive the scan line. This is necessary in large-size display products or high-resolution display products to ensure that the pixel resolution is high enough. The left and right bezels of the display panel are relatively tight in space due to the layout of the gate driving module and signal lines. However, the top bezel of the display panel does not have special routing requirements. Generally, a ground line is needed for electrostatic discharge protection and a common electrode line is needed for the uniformity of the common electrode in the plane. The wiring space of the top bezel of the display panel is sufficient, so the space of the top bezel can be used to save space for PLG routing.

[0088] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the line width of the first trace is greater than the line width of the first signal line, and the line width of the second trace is greater than the line width of the second signal line.

[0089] In practical implementation, the line width of the first trace can be set to be greater than the line width of the first signal line, and the line width of the second trace can be set to be greater than the line width of the second signal line, so that the resistance per unit length of the first trace and the resistance per unit length of the second trace can be set to be smaller, thereby reducing the heat generation of the first trace and the heat generation of the second trace.

[0090] In at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the line width of the connecting line is greater than the width of the first signal line, and the line width of the connecting line is greater than the line width of the second signal line.
