AI Technical Summary
The slit electrode structure in existing thin-film transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs) results in large dark fields and poor light efficiency at the edges of the pixel structure. Furthermore, the large size of individual pixels leads to excessively long slit electrodes, increasing the risk of line breakage.
The slit electrode is segmented into multiple branch electrodes and connected by a main electrode to reduce electrode length and lower the risk of wire breakage. At the same time, multiple main electrodes are set to optimize the electric field distribution, reduce edge dark field, and improve light efficiency.
It reduces the risk of wire breakage, increases light transmittance, improves luminous efficiency, and achieves higher overall transmittance and better electrical connection.

[0084] A Field-Sequential Color LCD has a three-color backlight source that is lit separately in sequence. The liquid crystal screen controls the color and brightness of the transmitted light according to the displayed information to achieve additive color mixing in time. It does not require a color filter film, and the number of pixels becomes 1 / 3 of that of a conventional transmissive LCD, making it easier to achieve high-capacity and large-screen displays. It may become the development trend of LCDs, and both its color gamut and brightness far exceed those of conventional LCD TVs. The delicate skin tones, moist green leaves, and vast landscapes in the picture can create an immersive feeling. The panel production of the colorless film technology will bring a revolutionary impact and is also the most important application of LED backlight in the LCD field. In addition to cost reduction, the simplification of the manufacturing process also plays an important role in reducing related costs (such as production and labor) and improving production efficiency.
[0085] In some embodiments, the pixels of a Field-Sequential Color LCD can be formed by combining the RGB sub-pixels of a conventional LCD including a color film. However, the inventors found that in this pixel structure, the slit electrodes are surrounded by frames on all sides, resulting in a large dark field at the edge of the pixel structure, poor light efficiency, and due to the relatively large size of a single pixel, the single-strip electrode of the slit electrode contained in the pixel is too long, and the risk of disconnection is high.
[0086] To at least improve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide an array substrate. FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a "convex-shaped" electrode provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a layout of the electrode region shown in FIG. 1 defined by gate lines and data lines. FIG. 3 is a layout of the gate metal layer in FIG. 2. FIG. 4 is a layout of the active layer in FIG. 2. FIG. 5 is a layout of the source-drain metal layer in FIG. 2. FIG. 6 is a layout of the via layer in FIG. 2. FIG. 7 is a layout of the common electrode layer in FIG. 2. FIG. 8 is a layout of the electrode layer in FIG. 2. FIG. 9 is a schematic structural diagram of a "double-horse-shaped" electrode provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 10 is a schematic structural diagram of a "wan-shaped" electrode provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 11 is a schematic structural diagram of a "middle-shaped" electrode provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 12 is another schematic structural diagram of a "convex-shaped" electrode provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 13 is another schematic structural diagram of a "convex-shaped" electrode provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIGS. 1, 8 to 13, an array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may include:
[0087] A substrate 101, optionally, the substrate 101 is a substrate that allows visible light to pass through, such as made of glass, quartz, plastic, etc.
[0088] Multiple electrodes 102 are located on the substrate 101, for example, multiple electrodes 102 are arranged in an array on the substrate 101; the material of the electrodes 102 may include at least one transparent conductive material such as indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), aluminum zinc oxide (AZO), gallium zinc oxide (GZO).
[0089] In some embodiments, electrode 102 may include a first main electrode M1, a second main electrode M2, a plurality of first branch electrodes B1, a plurality of second branch electrodes B2, and a plurality of third branch electrodes B3; wherein, the plurality of first branch electrodes B1 extend along a first direction D and are arranged along a second direction Y, optionally, the second direction Y is the extension direction of the gate line 108 or the extension direction of the data line 104; the plurality of second branch electrodes B2 extend along a third direction D' and are arranged along the second direction Y, the first direction D, the second direction Y, and the third direction D' intersect; the plurality of third branch electrodes B3 extend along the first direction D and are arranged along the second direction Y on one side of the plurality of first branch electrodes B1; the first main electrode M1 is located between the column where the plurality of first branch electrodes B1 are located and the column where the plurality of second branch electrodes B2 are located, and the first main electrode M1 is connected to the plurality of first branch electrodes B1 and the plurality of second branch electrodes B2; the second main electrode M2 is located on the side of the plurality of third branch electrodes B3 away from the first main electrode M1, and the second main electrode M2 is connected to the plurality of third branch electrodes B3.
[0090] In the array substrate provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, the longer strip electrodes in the relevant slit electrodes are segmented into first branch electrodes B1 and second branch electrodes B2, thereby reducing the length and lowering the risk of wire breakage. The third branch electrode B3, which is in the same row as the first branch electrode B1, is also shorter, and the risk of wire breakage is also lower. At the same time, this disclosure provides a first main electrode M1 between the column where the first branch electrode B1 is located and the column where the second branch electrode B2 is located, and uses the first main electrode M1 to connect the first branch electrode B1 and the second branch electrode B2, thereby ensuring the electrical connection relationship between the first branch electrode B1 and the second branch electrode B2. Therefore, it is not necessary to set a frame around the first branch electrode B1 and the second branch electrode B2 to realize the electrical connection between the first branch electrode B1 and the second branch electrode B2, thereby reducing the edge dark field caused by the frame and improving the light efficiency.
[0091] In some embodiments, the array substrate provided in the present disclosure, as shown in FIG1, FIG8 to FIG13, may further include a first common branch electrode S1, a second common branch electrode S2, a plurality of third branch electrodes B3, and a plurality of fourth branch electrodes B4; wherein, the first common branch electrode S1 extends along a first direction D between the plurality of first branch electrodes B1 and the plurality of third branch electrodes B3, and the first common branch electrode S1 is connected between a first main electrode M1 and a second main electrode M2; the second common branch electrode S2 extends along a third direction D', and the second common branch electrode S2 is connected between the first main electrode M1 and the third main electrode M3; on the side of the second common branch electrode S2 away from the plurality of second branch electrodes B2, the plurality of fourth branch electrodes B4 extend along a third direction D' and are arranged along a second direction Y; on the side away from the electrode 102 along the central axis MN of the second direction Y, the plurality of fourth branch electrodes B4 are connected to the third main electrode M3.
[0092] The introduction of the first main electrode M1 can cause electric field disturbances in its vicinity, resulting in dark lines. This disclosure addresses this by providing a second main electrode M2 and / or a third main electrode M3 at a portion of the edge of electrode 102. This effectively balances the small dark fields at the edges and in the center, ensuring good overall pixel light efficiency. Compared to LCDs with color filters, this disclosure improves overall transmittance by 5% to 20%. Furthermore, the third branch electrode B3 connected to the second main electrode M2 and the fourth branch electrode B4 connected to the third main electrode M3 are disconnected in the middle of the pixel. Therefore, the lengths of the third branch electrode B3 and the fourth branch electrode B4 are smaller than those of the strip electrodes in the relevant slit electrodes, reducing the risk of line breakage.
[0093] In some embodiments, in the array substrate provided in the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 1, 8, and 10 to 13, a plurality of first branch electrodes B1 and a plurality of second branch electrodes B2 can be connected to the same first main electrode M1. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 9, a plurality of first branch electrodes B1 and a plurality of second branch electrodes B2 can also be connected to different first main electrodes M1. Optionally, in Figure 10, the first main electrode M1 connected to the plurality of first branch electrodes B1 and the first main electrode M1 connected to the plurality of second branch electrodes B2 are staggered along a fourth direction X. The fourth direction X can be substantially perpendicular to the second direction Y. Optionally, the second direction Y is the extension direction of the data line 104 and the fourth direction X is the extension direction of the gate line 108, or the second direction Y is the extension direction of the gate line 108 and the fourth direction X is the extension direction of the data line 104. Due to limitations in process conditions or the influence of other factors such as measurement, the "approximately perpendicular" of this disclosure may be exactly perpendicular or may have some deviation (e.g., a deviation of ±5%). Therefore, as long as the "approximately perpendicular" relationship between related features meets the allowable error, it falls within the protection scope of this disclosure.
[0094] Referring to Figures 1, 8, and 10 to 13, multiple first branch electrodes B1, multiple second branch electrodes B2, a first main electrode M1, a first common branch electrode S1, a second main electrode M2, multiple third branch electrodes B3, a second common branch electrode S2, a third main electrode M3, and multiple fourth branch electrodes B4 constitute an electrically conductive electrode 102. To ensure that each part of the electrode 102 shown in Figure 9 is electrically conductive while minimizing the risk of wire breakage, this disclosure connects the third branch electrode B3, which is furthest from the first common branch electrode S1, to the fourth branch electrode B4, which is furthest from the second common branch electrode S2. Since Figures 1, 8, and 11 to 13 are electrically conductive electrodes 102, the third branch electrode B3, which is farthest from the first common branch electrode S1, and the fourth branch electrode B4, which is farthest from the second common branch electrode S2, may or may not be connected; this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this. In Figure 10, the third branch electrode B3 and the fourth branch electrode B4 are offset along the second direction Y, making them difficult to connect.
[0095] In some embodiments, in the array substrate provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, as shown in Figures 1, 8, 9, and 11 to 13, a plurality of first branch electrodes B1 and a plurality of second branch electrodes B2 are arranged along the fourth direction X, a plurality of third branch electrodes B3 and a plurality of fourth branch electrodes B4 are arranged along the fourth direction X, and the first main electrode M1 is a linear electrode between the plurality of first branch electrodes B1 and the plurality of second branch electrodes B2. In other embodiments, as shown in Figure 10, a plurality of first branch electrodes B1 and a plurality of fourth branch electrodes B4 are arranged along the fourth direction X, a plurality of third branch electrodes B3 and a plurality of second branch electrodes B2 are arranged along the fourth direction X, the plurality of first branch electrodes B1 and the plurality of third branch electrodes B3 constitute one column of branch electrodes, the plurality of second branch electrodes B2 and the plurality of fourth branch electrodes B4 constitute another column of branch electrodes, and the first main electrode M1 is a zigzag electrode located between the two columns of branch electrodes.
[0096] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 and 8 to 12, the first common branch electrode S1 of this disclosure can be an electrode structure with a linewidth approximately the same as that of the first branch electrode B1, and the second common branch electrode S2 can also be an electrode structure with a linewidth approximately the same as that of the second branch electrode B2. In other embodiments, as shown in Figure 13, the first common branch electrode S1 of this disclosure can also be two adjacent electrode structures with a linewidth approximately the same as that of the first branch electrode B1, and the two first common branch electrodes S1, together with the first main electrode M1 and the second main electrode M2, form a closed loop structure; in some embodiments, the gap between the two first common branch electrodes S1 shown in Figure 13 can be filled with electrode material to form a thicker branch electrode structure to prevent wire breakage. Referring again to Figure 13, the second common branch electrode S2 of this disclosure can be two adjacent electrode structures with approximately the same linewidth as the second branch electrode B2, and the two second common branch electrodes S2, together with the first main electrode M1 and the third main electrode M3, form a closed loop structure. In some embodiments, the gap between the two second common branch electrodes S2 shown in Figure 13 can be filled with electrode material to form a thicker branch electrode structure to prevent wire breakage. Due to limitations in process conditions or the influence of other factors such as measurement, the "approximately the same" in this disclosure may be exactly the same, or there may be some deviation (e.g., a deviation of ±10%). Therefore, as long as the "approximately the same" relationship between related features meets the allowable error, it falls within the protection scope of this disclosure.
[0097] In some embodiments, the array substrate provided in this disclosure, as shown in Figures 2 to 8, may further include a transistor 103. Optionally, the electrode 102 is a pixel electrode, and the electrode 102 further includes a block electrode P located at the end of the second main electrode M2 away from the first common branch electrode S1. The block electrode P is electrically connected to the first electrode d of the transistor 103. Specifically, the block electrode P and the first electrode d of the transistor 103 are electrically connected through a first via V1 penetrating the insulating layer between them. The block electrode P covers the first via V1, resulting in a larger contact area between the electrode 102 and the transistor 103, and a better electrical connection effect.
[0098] It should be noted that the electrode 102 in this disclosure can also be a common electrode, and when the electrode 102 is a common electrode, a connection structure is provided between adjacent common electrodes so that the common electrodes are connected into a whole. This disclosure illustrates the example of the electrode 102 being a pixel electrode.
[0099] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 to 8, the array substrate provided in this disclosure may further include multiple data lines 104, and the second electrode s of transistor 103 may be electrically connected to the data lines 104. Optionally, the second electrode s of transistor 103 is "m-shaped," with the opening of the "m-shaped" electrode facing the electrode 102 corresponding to transistor 103. The first electrode d of transistor 101 includes two sub-electrodes extending from the "m-shaped" opening, and the two sub-electrodes converge at the block electrode P.

[0100] In some embodiments, the array substrate provided in the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 2 to 8, may further include multiple common electrode lines 105, multiple transition electrodes 106, and multiple common electrodes 107. Optionally, the common electrode lines 105 and gate lines 108 are disposed in the same layer and made of the same material. The linewidths of the common electrode lines 105 and gate lines 108 decrease at their intersections with the data lines 104, and the linewidths of the data lines 104 also decrease at their intersections with the common electrode lines 105 and gate lines 108, in order to reduce the parasitic capacitance between the data lines 104 and the common electrode lines 105 and gate lines 108. In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the common electrode line 105 on the substrate 101 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the edge of the electrode 102 where the end of the first main electrode M1 is located on the substrate 101.

The common electrode line 105 can be electrically connected to the common electrode 107 through the transfer electrode 106 in the area where the clearance structure C is located, thereby improving the uniformity of the common voltage.

This allows for a smaller edge dark field and a smaller middle dark field, achieving ultra-high transmittance, while also reducing the risk of line breakage.
[0103] In some embodiments, in the array substrate provided in the present disclosure, in order to achieve better light efficiency and reduce the risk of line breakage, the linewidth of the second main electrode M2, the linewidth of the third main electrode M3, and the linewidth of the fourth main electrode M4 can be set to be approximately the same as the linewidth of the first main electrode M1, for example, 1.5μm to 4μm, specifically 1.5μm, 2μm, 2.5μm, 3μm, 3.5μm, 4μm, etc. The linewidths of the first common branch electrode S1, the second common branch electrode S2, the third common branch electrode S3, the fourth common branch electrode S4, the second branch electrode B2, the third branch electrode B3, the fourth branch electrode B4, the fifth branch electrode B5, and the sixth branch electrode B6 are approximately the same as the linewidth of the first branch electrode B1, for example, 2μm to 6μm, specifically 2μm, 3μm, 4μm, 5μm, 6μm, etc. The spacing between adjacent second branch electrodes B2, adjacent third branch electrodes B3, adjacent fourth branch electrodes B4, adjacent fifth branch electrodes B5, adjacent sixth branch electrodes B6, the spacing between the first common branch electrode S1 and adjacent first branch electrode B1, the spacing between the first common branch electrode S1 and adjacent third branch electrode B3, the spacing between the second common branch electrode S2 and adjacent second branch electrode B2, the spacing between the second common branch electrode S2 and adjacent fourth branch electrode B4, the spacing between the third common branch electrode S3 and adjacent third branch electrode B3, the spacing between the third common branch electrode S3 and adjacent fifth branch electrode B5, the spacing between the fourth common branch electrode S4 and adjacent fourth branch electrode B4, and the spacing between the fourth common branch electrode S4 and adjacent sixth branch electrode B6 are approximately equal to the spacing between adjacent first branch electrodes B1, for example, 2μm to 6μm, specifically 2μm, 3μm, 4μm, 5μm, 6μm, etc.
[0104] In some embodiments, in the array substrate provided in the present disclosure, as shown in FIG1, FIG8 to FIG11 and FIG13, in order to reduce the risk of left-right color shift and achieve true color, the electrode 102 of the present disclosure can be a left-right symmetrical structure. Specifically, in FIG1, FIG8, FIG9 and FIG13, a plurality of first branch electrodes B1 and a plurality of second branch electrodes B2 are symmetrical about the central axis MN of the electrode 102 along the second direction Y, and a plurality of third branch electrodes B3 and a plurality of fourth branch electrodes B4 are symmetrical about the central axis MN; in FIG10, a plurality of first branch electrodes B1 and a plurality of fourth branch electrodes B4 are symmetrical about the central axis MN, and a plurality of third branch electrodes B3 and a plurality of second branch electrodes B2 are symmetrical about the central axis MN; in FIG11, a plurality of first branch electrodes B1 and a plurality of second branch electrodes B2 are symmetrical about the central axis MN, a plurality of third branch electrodes B3 and a plurality of fourth branch electrodes B4 are symmetrical about the central axis MN, and a plurality of fifth branch electrodes B5 and a plurality of sixth branch electrodes B6 are symmetrical about the central axis MN.
[0105] In field-sequential color LCD products, since a color image is sequentially divided into three RGB frames over time, and these frames are then switched at high speed to form a single color image, the key to achieving field-sequential display technology lies in significantly improving the response speed of the existing LCD. Considering gray-to-gray response time (GTG) optimization, this disclosure allows the left and right branch electrodes to be configured as an asymmetrical structure, such that the angle between the first branch electrode B1 and electrode 102 along the central axis MN of the second direction Y is not equal to the angle between the second branch electrode B2 and electrode 102 along the central axis MN of the second direction Y. In some embodiments, the angles between the first branch electrode B1 and the central axis MN, and the angles between the second branch electrode B2 and the central axis MN, are both 5° to 15°. For example, the angle between the first branch electrode B1 and the central axis MN is 7°, and the angle between the second branch electrode B2 and the central axis MN is 11°. Because the branch electrodes extending in the range of 5° to 15° increase the component of the electric field acting on the liquid crystal along the liquid crystal deflection direction, the liquid crystal experiences increased electric field force, and the deflection speeds up, thus reducing the GTG (Gross Transmission Gaussian Gap) and achieving an ultra-fast response. Compared to LCDs with color filters, the response speed of this disclosure is improved by 10% to 20%. After the LCD field sequence response speed is improved, the backlight duty cycle is increased, the overall brightness is improved, and the overall power consumption can be greatly reduced.
