[0062] VA type liquid crystal display panel is a liquid crystal vertical alignment display panel, due to its higher contrast ratio and high transmittance and other advantages in TV TV and display MNT product application more and more widely, common VA vertical alignment technology has PSVA, UV2A, MVA, and so on, vertical alignment of liquid crystal display section diagram as shown in figure 1. Due to the vertical alignment of the display panel, the display screen is subjected to the pressing or extrusion of external force will produce concave, then the array substrate 001 and the spacing gap of the opposite substrate 002 is small, its liquid crystal layer 003 is very easy to be subjected to the change of liquid crystal cell thickness and produce alignment disorder, reflected to the liquid crystal display is extruded at the place of light and other location different, resulting in display trace Mura, as shown in figure 2, but with the opposite substrate 002 recovery, liquid crystal cell thickness restores the initial, with the liquid crystal also restores the initial state, trace Mura disappears. Therefore, the vertical alignment of liquid crystal panel is very sensitive to the change of liquid crystal cell thickness, especially in MNT display product use distance from the user distance is close (≈50cm), so that the display is easy to be subjected to the pressing of external force and produce trace Mura problem, in ≤5s recovery is considered normal, >5s recovery is considered to exist trace Mura display panel.
[0063] The display panel using the UV2A vertical alignment technology generates trace Mura after a finger or a hard object is swiped across the display panel, and the trace Mura does not disappear within 5 seconds, as shown in FIG. 3. The actual trace Mura generated after the finger is swiped. By microscopically observing the pixel display effect, it is found that the display alignment of the pixels at the trace Mura position is obviously abnormal. FIG. 4 is a dark line display of normal liquid crystal alignment, which presents a swastika shape. FIG. 5 is a dark line display of abnormal liquid crystal alignment after pressing, and it can be obviously seen that the dark lines of the pixels in the dashed line are abnormally distributed, which causes the pixels at the position to display differently from other pixels and form trace Mura defects. FIG. 6 is a related pixel electrode design. As shown in FIG. 6, in the pixel electrode, the first pixel electrode part P1 can be electrically connected with the drain of the transistor through a pixel via hole V, and the first pixel electrode part P1 and the second pixel electrode part P2 of the pixel opening area are connected as a whole through a block part C'. Because of the via hole V design, the film thickness at the first pixel electrode part P1 is smaller than that at the second pixel electrode part P2, which causes the liquid crystal at the pixel via hole to have a different azimuth angle than the normally aligned liquid crystal in the pixel opening area when the liquid crystal is aligned. When an external force is pressed, the cell gap at the pressed position is reduced, and the liquid crystal will flow under the pressure. The liquid crystal in the via hole V is squeezed into the pixel opening area. When the azimuth angle of the disordered liquid crystal in the via hole V is opposite to that of the liquid crystal in the pixel opening area, the liquid crystal in the pixel opening area will be abnormally oriented and appear disordered dark lines. When the external force is removed, the cell gap of the liquid crystal is restored, and the liquid crystal is redistributed and filled. However, the existence of the block part C' causes the liquid crystal alignment in the pixel opening area to be easily affected by the unstable electric field in the disordered liquid crystal area, so that the disordered dark lines in the pixel opening area do not disappear for a long time, causing display problems after pressing and causing trace Mura defects.
[0064] To improve the above technical problems, an array substrate is provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 7 is a structure schematic diagram of one sub-pixel in the array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 8 is an enlarged structure schematic diagram of the Z1 area in FIG. 7. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional structure schematic diagram along the I-I' line in FIG. 7. FIG. 10 is a light efficiency simulation diagram of the sub-pixel shown in FIG. 7. As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, in the array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the array substrate can include:
[0065] The substrate 101 includes a pixel opening area O, which can include a red sub-pixel opening R corresponding to a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel opening G corresponding to a green sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel opening B corresponding to a blue sub-pixel, and the like. Optionally, the red sub-pixel, the green sub-pixel, and the blue sub-pixel constitute one pixel, and the pixel can be arranged in a row direction X or a column direction Y, and the like. In some embodiments, the substrate 101 can be a substrate allowing visible light to pass through, such as a glass, quartz, plastic, or the like.
[0066] The transistor 102, which does not overlap the pixel opening region O, can be a bottom-gate transistor, a top-gate transistor or a dual-gate transistor, and the active layer material of the transistor 102 can be single-crystal silicon a-si, polycrystalline silicon poly, indium gallium zinc oxide IGZO, etc.
[0067] The insulating layer 103 includes a via V, and the orthogonal projection of the via V on the substrate substrate 101 overlaps the orthogonal projection of the first electrode d of the transistor 102 on the substrate substrate 101; in some embodiments, the insulating layer 103 can include an organic insulating layer 1031 and an interlayer dielectric layer 1032, and in other embodiments, the insulating layer 103 can include an organic insulating layer 1031, an interlayer dielectric layer 1032 and a color resistance layer 1033; in some embodiments, the color resistance layer 1033 can also be located on the opposite substrate. The first electrode d of the transistor 102 can be a source electrode or a drain electrode, and to enhance the electrical connection effect, the orthogonal projection of the via V on the substrate substrate 101 can be located within the orthogonal projection of the first electrode d of the transistor 102 on the substrate substrate 101.
[0068] The pixel electrode 104 includes a first pixel electrode part P1, a second pixel electrode part P2 and at least one connecting part C; wherein the first pixel electrode part C1 is electrically connected to the first electrode d of the transistor 103 through the via V; the second pixel electrode part P2 at least partially covers the pixel opening region O, and the second pixel electrode part P2 includes a first edge P21 close to the first pixel electrode part P1; the at least one connecting part C is connected to the first pixel electrode part P1, and the at least one connecting part C is connected to part of the first edge P21. Optionally, the material of the pixel electrode 104 includes but is not limited to at least one of indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), aluminum zinc oxide (AZO), gallium zinc oxide (GZO).
[0069] In the related embodiments shown in FIG. 6, the first pixel electrode part P1 and the second pixel electrode P2 are connected through the whole part C', which will cause the liquid crystal alignment of the first pixel electrode part P2 to contact more with the liquid crystal alignment of the second pixel electrode part P2. The embodiments of the present disclosure separate the first pixel electrode part P1 and the second pixel electrode part P2, and connect them using the at least one connecting part C in the form of a trace, which reduces the contact between the liquid crystal alignment of the second pixel electrode part P2 and the abnormal alignment liquid crystal of the first pixel electrode part P1, as shown in FIG. 9, there is no pixel electrode pattern in the Z2 region (here the black matrix BM on the opposite substrate side blocks light, and there is no worry about light leakage), which avoids the influence of the change of the electric field in the liquid crystal turbulence area at the pixel via V on the normal alignment of the liquid crystal in the pixel opening region O when the box thickness changes due to pressing, so that the liquid crystal in the pixel opening region O can quickly recover to the initial state without being affected by other electric field forces when the box thickness recovers, thereby avoiding trace Mura defects.
[0070] In addition, the present disclosure simulates the dark line relationship between the first pixel electrode part P1 and the second pixel electrode part P2 by optical simulation, as shown in FIG. 10. As shown in FIG. 10, in the present disclosure, the pixel liquid crystal disordered area is not in direct contact with the vertical dark line, but is first converted into a horizontal direction and then into a vertical direction. This avoids the influence of the disordered area electric field on the vertical dark line of the pixel opening area O when an external force is applied, ensures that the dark line of the pressed pixel opening area O is similar to or even the same as the dark line of the unpressed pixel opening area O, and thus avoids the abnormal dark line of the pressed pixel opening area O leading to trace Mura defects in pixel display.
[0071] In some embodiments, in the array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, FIG. 11 is another schematic structural diagram of one sub-pixel in the array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, FIG. 12 is an enlarged schematic structural diagram of the Z3 area in FIG. 11, FIG. 13 is a light efficiency simulation diagram of the sub-pixel shown in FIG. 11, FIG. 14 is another schematic structural diagram of one sub-pixel in the array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, FIG. 15 is an enlarged schematic structural diagram of the Z4 area in FIG. 14, FIG. 16 is another schematic structural diagram of one sub-pixel in the array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, and FIG. 17 is an enlarged schematic structural diagram of the Z5 area in FIG. 16.
[0072] As shown in FIGS. 11 to 17, in the array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, a data line 105 extending along the column direction Y can also be included, and the data line 105 is electrically connected with the second electrode s of the transistor 102. The first edge P21 of the second pixel electrode part P2 can include a first end portion ED1 away from the data line 105, a second end portion ED2 close to the data line 105, and a middle portion MD between the first end portion ED1 and the second end portion ED2. At least one connecting portion C can connect the first pixel electrode part P1 and part of the first edge P21 of the second pixel electrode part P2 in proximity. Optionally, the at least one connecting portion C includes at least one of a first connecting portion C1, a second connecting portion C2, and a third connecting portion C3, wherein the first connecting portion C1 extends from one side of the first pixel electrode part P1 away from the data line 105 to the first end portion ED1, the second connecting portion C2 extends from one side of the first pixel electrode part P1 close to the second pixel electrode part P2 towards the data line 105 and then turns to the second end portion ED2, and the third connecting portion C3 directly extends from one side of the first pixel electrode part P1 close to the second pixel electrode part P2 to the middle portion MD. As shown in the light efficiency simulation diagram in FIG. 13, the vertical dark line of the pixel opening area O is not directly connected with the disordered alignment liquid crystal at the via V, which reduces the influence of the disordered electric field on the vertical dark line, and thus trace Mura defects can be improved.
[0073] In some embodiments, FIG. 18 shows a structure diagram of 2*2 sub-pixels in an array substrate provided by embodiments of the present disclosure, FIG. 19 shows a structure diagram of a layer where a gate line is located in FIG. 18, FIG. 20 shows a structure diagram of an active layer in FIG. 18, FIG. 21a shows a structure diagram of a layer where a data line is located in FIG. 18, FIG. 21b shows another structure diagram of a layer where a data line is located provided by embodiments of the present disclosure, FIG. 22 shows a structure diagram of a layer where a via is located in FIG. 18, and FIG. 23 shows a structure diagram of a layer where a pixel electrode is located in FIG. 18.

Optionally, the orthogonal projection of the first common electrode line 106 on the substrate 101 and the orthogonal projection of the first electrode d of the transistor 102 on the substrate 101 have an overlapping area OL, so that the first common electrode line 106 and the first electrode d of the transistor 102 form a storage capacitor Cst at the overlapping area OL. In some embodiments, in order to increase the storage capacitor Cst, the overlapping area OL and the orthogonal projection of the first pixel electrode part P1 on the substrate 101 can be overlapped with each other, and the orthogonal projection of the overlapping area OL and the connection part C on the substrate 101 can be overlapped with each other.

In this way, the storage capacitor Cst of the present disclosure can include the first common electrode line 106 and the first electrode d of the transistor 102, the first common electrode line 106 and the second edge P22 of the second pixel electrode part P2, and / or the first common electrode line 106 and the third edge P23 of the second pixel electrode part P2.
[0075] In some embodiments, in the array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 18, 21a, 21b and 23, a second common electrode line 108 which is in the same layer and made of the same material as the pixel electrode 104 can also be included; the orthogonal projection of the second common electrode line 108 on the substrate 101 and the orthogonal projection of the data line 105 on the substrate 101 overlap with each other, for example, the orthogonal projection of the second common electrode line 108 on the substrate 101 covers the orthogonal projection of the data line 105 on the substrate 101 between adjacent pixel opening regions O in the row direction X, so as to shield the interference of the data line 105 on the pixel electrode 104 through the second common electrode line 108, and improve the horizontal stripe defect.
[0076] In some embodiments, in the array substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 18, 19 and 23, a third common electrode line 109 which is in the same layer and made of the same material as the pixel electrode 104 can also be included; the third common electrode line 109 is electrically connected with the second common electrode line 108, and the orthogonal projection of the third common electrode line 109 on the substrate 101 and the orthogonal projection of the gate line 107 on the substrate 101 overlap with each other. The second common electrode line 108 and the third common electrode line 109 cross with each other to form a mesh structure, which can effectively improve the uniformity of the common voltage, improve the shielding effect, and effectively improve the horizontal stripe defect. In some embodiments, the first common electrode line 106 and the mesh common electrode line (including the second common electrode line 108 and the third common electrode line 109) are not connected with each other in the display area AA, and the first common electrode line 106 and the mesh common electrode line (including the second common electrode line 108 and the third common electrode line 109) can be loaded with a common voltage signal through the wiring in the frame area.
