Background
A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) has advantages of good picture quality, small size, light weight, low driving voltage, low power consumption, no radiation, and relatively low manufacturing cost, and is dominant in the field of flat panel displays.
With the continuous progress of the liquid crystal display technology, the viewing angle of the display has gradually widened, and people want to effectively protect business confidentiality and personal privacy while enjoying the visual experience brought by a large viewing angle, so as to avoid business loss or embarrassment caused by the leakage of screen information. Therefore, in addition to the requirement of wide viewing angle, in many cases, the display device is required to have a function of switching between a wide viewing angle and a narrow viewing angle.
When the existing peep-proof display is used for displaying at a narrow viewing angle, the peep-proof display is provided with a horizontal electric field for normal display and a vertical electric field for peep-proof, wherein the horizontal electric field is used for driving liquid crystal molecules to rotate in a horizontal plane, and the vertical electric field can interfere with a normal liquid crystal turnover angle, so that liquid crystal deflection angles of different pixel regions have large difference, and then the problems of uneven display brightness, flickering display pictures and the like are easily caused under the narrow viewing angle display state.
Therefore, it is an urgent need to provide a display panel and a display device that can not only realize the free switching between the wide viewing angle display and the narrow viewing angle display, but also improve the display quality.

the invention adds the second switch transistor and the second data line for controlling the third electrode for peep-proof in the display panel, so that the data voltage loaded to the third electrode can be fed independently through the second data line under the conduction of the second switch transistor, namely the data voltage of the third electrode can be controlled independently, when scanning each row of sub-pixels line by line through the scanning line, the first switch transistor controls to load the data voltage signal of the first data line to the first electrode, the polarity applied to the third electrode corresponding to one first electrode in the same sub-pixel is controlled independently through the second switch transistor and the second data line, the polarity of the data voltage applied to the first electrode in the same sub-pixel is set to be the same as the polarity of the voltage applied to the third electrode, two capacitor poles can be formed between the first electrode and the third electrode, when the voltage difference is applied to the two capacitor poles to form a vertical electric field, the difference between the electric field formed by the first electrode and the third electrode in one of the two adjacent sub-pixels in the first direction and the electric field formed by the first electrode and the third electrode in the other sub-pixel can be weakened, so that the deflection angles of the liquid crystal molecules in the two adjacent sub-pixels in the first direction are the same as far as possible, the problem of brightness difference of the two adjacent sub-pixels in the first direction can be avoided, the display quality is favorably improved, and the display effect is ensured.

Detailed Description
Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that: the relative arrangement of the components and steps, the numerical expressions and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention unless specifically stated otherwise.

In all examples shown and discussed herein, any particular value should be construed as merely illustrative, and not limiting. Thus, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.
It should be noted that: like reference numbers and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and thus, once an item is defined in one figure, further discussion thereof is not required in subsequent figures.
In the prior art, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, fig. 1 is a schematic plane structure of a display panel in the prior art, and fig. 2 is a schematic partial sectional structure of fig. 1, where a display panel 000 ' in the prior art includes a sub-pixel P ', a scan line G ' and a data line S ' are crossed and insulated to define a position of the sub-pixel P ', the sub-pixel P ' includes a thin film transistor T ' and a pixel electrode 101 ' that are electrically connected, and further includes a common electrode 102 ', an array substrate 10 ' includes the above structure, a color filter substrate 20 ' includes a color resistance layer and a black matrix layer, and further includes a peep-preventing electrode 201 ', and when the display panel 000 ' realizes normal wide-viewing-angle display, a dc common voltage (generally 0V or close to 0V, for example, -0.1V) is applied to the common electrode 102 ', and a dc voltage is also applied to the peep-preventing electrode 201 ', and an electrical distance between the dc voltage applied to the common electrode 201 ' and the dc common voltage applied to the common electrode 102 ' is increased When the potential difference is small (for example, less than 1V), because the bias voltage between the privacy protection electrode 201 'and the common electrode 102' is small, the formed vertical electric field is small, the vertical electric field has little influence on the tilt angle of the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer 30 ', the display panel 000' drives the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer 30 'to deflect between the array substrate 10' and the color film substrate 20 'by the in-plane electric field formed between the pixel electrode 101' and the common electrode 102 'on the array substrate 10', and the liquid crystal molecules realize a display mode with a wide viewing angle under the action of a strong in-plane electric field. Since the anti-peeping electrode 201 'applies a dc voltage, the anti-peeping electrode 201' in the prior art is generally a full-surface structure disposed on a side of the color filter substrate facing the liquid crystal layer.
When the display panel 000 ' in the prior art realizes narrow viewing angle display, the peep prevention electrode 201 ' generally adopts a larger constant voltage (assumed to be +2V), a dc common voltage (generally 0V or close to 0V, for example, -0.1V) is applied to the common electrode 102 ', and when a potential difference between the constant voltage applied to the peep prevention electrode 201 ' and the dc common voltage applied to the common electrode 102 ' is larger (for example, larger than 1V), a larger bias voltage exists between the common electrode 102 ' on the array substrate 10 ' and the peep prevention electrode 201 ' on the color filter substrate 20 ', so that a stronger vertical electric field is formed between the array substrate 10 ' and the color filter substrate 20 '. Liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer 30 'are deflected under the action of the vertical electric field, and if the liquid crystal molecules are negative liquid crystal molecules, the liquid crystal molecules are in an upright state when the vertical electric field is not formed, a strong vertical electric field is formed to reduce the inclination angle between the liquid crystal molecules and the array substrate 10', the liquid crystal molecules are changed from the upright state to an inclined state or a lying state, so that in the oblique viewing direction of the screen of the display panel 000 ', light passing through the liquid crystal molecules is mismatched with the polarization directions of the upper and lower polarizers due to phase delay, a light leakage phenomenon occurs, and when the screen is viewed from the oblique viewing direction of the display panel 000', the contrast of the screen is reduced to influence the viewing effect, so that the viewing angle is reduced, thereby realizing a narrow viewing angle mode, namely, switching from a wide viewing angle display mode to a narrow viewing angle display mode.
In the related art, the pixel electrodes 101 ' in the first substrate 10 ' are driven by column inversion, where the data voltages of the sub-pixels in the same column have the same polarity, and the adjacent columns have opposite polarities, as shown in fig. 1, a plurality of sub-pixels P ' arranged in the first direction X ' form a sub-pixel row PH ', a plurality of sub-pixels P ' arranged in the second direction Y ' form a sub-pixel column PL ', and the pixel electrodes 101 ' corresponding to the plurality of sub-pixels P ' sequentially arranged in the first direction X ' are alternately used by positive polarity, negative polarity, positive polarity, and negative polarity … …, that is, the data voltage applied to the pixel electrodes 101 ' through the data lines S ' is a column inversion driving signal with alternating positive and negative polarities (e.g., a column inversion driving signal with alternating positive and negative polarities of +5V and-5V). If two frames are taken as a polarity inversion driving period for example, in a polarity inversion driving period, the polarity arrangement of two adjacent frames is the same, and the polarities of the sub-pixels P ' are opposite, as shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a polarity inversion driving period and the polarity arrangement of the sub-pixels corresponding to each frame when the display panel of fig. 1 adopts the column inversion driving manner, and the polarity of all the sub-pixels of a frame is inverted once when the frame scans one frame, specifically, for the 6 sub-pixel columns PL ' connected by the 6 data lines S ' (S1 ', S2 ', S3 ', S4 ', S5 ', S6 ') enclosed by the dashed line frame in fig. 1, the polarity arrangement of the 1 st frame is +, - +, -, "+" indicates that the polarity of the data voltage loaded to the sub-pixel is positive, and "-" indicates that the polarity of the data voltage loaded to the sub-pixel is negative, then, in frame 2, the polarity arrangement of the 6 sub-pixels P 'connected to the 6 data lines S' is changed to-, +, and + sequentially, and the inversion is performed in a column inversion driving manner. By inverting the polarity of the data voltage of all the subpixels P 'once every scanning frame, it is possible to prevent the fixed potential from adsorbing impurity ions in the liquid crystal layer 30' to cause problems such as image sticking, and thus to improve the display quality.
However, if the column inversion driving method is adopted, as shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of liquid crystal deflection of adjacent sub-pixels after the voltages are applied to the privacy electrodes of the display panel of fig. 1, in the narrow viewing angle display mode, because two capacitor electrodes are formed between the pixel electrode 101 ' and the privacy electrode 201 ', and the voltage difference applied to the two capacitor electrodes forms an electric field E1 ' and an electric field E2 ', while +5V and-5V are respectively applied to the pixel electrodes 101 ' corresponding to two adjacent sub-pixels P ' in the first direction X ', so that the electric field E1 ' formed by the pixel electrode 101 ' and the privacy electrode 201 ' in one sub-pixel P ' and the electric field E2 ' formed by the pixel electrode 101 ' and the privacy electrode 201 ' in the other sub-pixel P ' have a large difference, and the presence of the electric fields E1 ' and E2 ' may interfere with the normal deflection angle of liquid crystal molecules in the display panel, if the deflection angle of the liquid crystal molecules in the sub-pixel P 'corresponding to the electric field E1' is θ 1 ', and the deflection angle of the liquid crystal molecules in the sub-pixel P' corresponding to the electric field E2 'is θ 2', the deflection angle θ 1 'and the deflection angle θ 2' have a large difference, it is easy to cause a difference in luminance between two adjacent sub-pixels P 'in the first direction X', thereby causing display flicker.
Based on the above problem, the application provides a display panel and display device, not only can realize the free switching of wide visual angle demonstration and narrow visual angle demonstration, can improve again and show the quality, guarantee display effect. Specific embodiments of the display panel and the display device proposed in the present application are described in detail below.

In the display panel 000 of the embodiment, the second substrate 20 further includes a third electrode 201, the third electrode 201 may be understood as a privacy electrode of the display panel 000, and may also be understood as a viewing angle control electrode, and the display panel 000 may be freely switched between a wide viewing angle mode and a narrow viewing angle mode by applying different control voltages to the third electrode 201. The display panel 000 further includes a second switching transistor T2 and a second data line S2, the second switching transistor T2 may be a P-type thin film transistor or an N-type thin film transistor, and the second switching transistor T2 may be disposed near a position where the scan line G crosses the second data line S2. The gate T2G of the second switching transistor T2 is electrically connected to the scan line G, the first pole T2S (i.e., source) of the second switching transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second data line S2, and the second pole T2D (i.e., drain) of the second switching transistor T2 is electrically connected to the third electrode 201 through a via. When the display panel 000 realizes a narrow viewing angle display state, i.e., a privacy display mode, the gate T2G of the second switch transistor T2 is also connected to a scan driving circuit (not shown in the figure) in the display panel via a scan line G, the second switch transistor T2 is turned on line by line to turn on the second switch transistor T2, and a data voltage is applied to the third electrode 201 through the second data line S2, so that a vertical electric field is formed between the third electrode 201 and the first electrode 101 serving as a pixel electrode, and liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer 30 are deflected and changed in the electric field, thereby changing the emitting direction of light, and realizing a narrow viewing angle display function of the display panel 000.
In the present embodiment, the second switching transistor T2 and the second data line S2 for controlling the third electrode 201 used as the peep-proof electrode are additionally arranged in the display panel 000, so that the data voltage applied to the third electrode 201 can be independently fed through the second data line S2 when the second switching transistor T2 is turned on, that is, the data voltage of the third electrode 201 can be independently controlled, when the rows of sub-pixels P are scanned row by row through the scan line G, the first switching transistor T1 controls the data voltage signal of the first data line S1 to be applied to the first electrode 101, and the second switching transistor T2 controls the data voltage signal of the second data line S2 to be applied to the third electrode 201.
The display panel 000 of the present embodiment includes a wide viewing angle display mode and a narrow viewing angle display mode;
as shown in fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of liquid crystal deflection of the adjacent sub-pixels after the voltage is applied to the third electrode of the display panel of fig. 5, and when the display panel 000 implements the normal wide viewing angle display mode, the second data line S2 is floating or the second data line S2 is switched to zero potential (0V). At this time, a dc common voltage (generally 0V or close to 0V, for example, -0.1V) is applied to the second electrode 102, and the scanning line G turns on each second switching transistor T2, and a dc voltage is applied to each third electrode 201 through the plurality of second data lines S2, optionally, the second data lines S2 may also be in a floating state, that is, no potential signal is connected to the second data lines S2, so that when the potential difference between the dc voltage applied to the third electrodes 201 and the dc common voltage applied to the second electrode 102 is small (for example, the dc voltage applied to the second data lines S2 is 0V, and the potential difference between the dc voltage applied to the third electrodes 201 and the dc common voltage applied to the second electrodes 102 is less than 1V), since the bias voltage between the third electrodes 201 and the second electrodes 102 is small, the vertical electric field is small, and the inclination angle of the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer is not greatly affected by the vertical electric field, that is, the third electrode 201 does not affect the rotation state of the liquid crystal molecules and the contrast of the display panel, and thus does not produce the peep-proof effect. At this time, the scan line G simultaneously turns on the first switching transistor T1, and a column inversion driving voltage (e.g., a column inversion driving signal with alternating positive and negative polarities of +5V and-5V) is applied to each first electrode 101 corresponding to each sub-pixel column PL through the first data line S1, so that the display panel 000 is formed by the in-plane electric field E3 and the in-plane electric field E4 formed between the first electrode 101 as a pixel electrode and the second electrode 102 as a common electrode on the first substrate 10 to drive the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 30 to deflect between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20, and the liquid crystal molecules realize a wide viewing angle display mode under the strong in-plane electric field.
As shown in fig. 8, fig. 8 is another schematic diagram of liquid crystal deflection of adjacent sub-pixels after voltage is applied to the third electrode of the display panel of fig. 5, and when the display panel 000 implements the narrow viewing angle display mode, the polarity of the applied potential of the second data line S2 corresponding to the same sub-pixel P is the same as that of the applied potential of the first data line S1. A dc common voltage (typically 0V or approximately 0V, for example, -0.1V) is applied to the second electrode 102, the first switching transistor T1 is turned on by the scanning line G, a column inversion driving voltage (for example, a column inversion driving signal in which positive and negative polarities of +5V and-5V are alternated) is applied to each first electrode 101 corresponding to each sub-pixel column PL through the first data line S1, the liquid crystal molecules in the in-plane electric field driving liquid crystal layer 30 formed between the first electrode 101 serving as a pixel electrode and the second electrode 102 serving as a common electrode on the first substrate 10 of the display panel 000 are deflected between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20, and the liquid crystal molecules realize a display effect under a strong in-plane electric field. And the second switching transistor T2 is turned on by the scanning line G, and a column inversion driving voltage is applied to each third electrode 201 corresponding to each sub-pixel column PL through the second data line S2, so that a large bias voltage exists between the second electrode 102 on the first substrate 10 and the third electrode 201 on the second substrate 20, and thus a strong vertical electric field is formed between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20. Liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer 30 are deflected under the action of the vertical electric field, and if the liquid crystal molecules are negative liquid crystal molecules, the liquid crystal molecules are in an upright state when the vertical electric field is not formed, a strong vertical electric field is formed to reduce the inclination angle between the liquid crystal molecules and the first substrate 10, and the liquid crystal molecules are changed from the upright state to an inclined state or a lying state, so that in the oblique viewing direction of the screen of the display panel 000, light passing through the liquid crystal molecules is mismatched with the polarization directions of the upper and lower polarizers due to phase delay, a light leakage phenomenon occurs, and when the screen is viewed from the oblique viewing direction of the display panel 000, the contrast of the screen is reduced to influence the viewing effect, so that the viewing angle is reduced, thereby realizing a narrow viewing angle mode, namely, switching from a wide viewing angle display mode to a narrow viewing angle display mode.
And since the first electrodes 101 correspond to the third electrodes 201 one to one in the direction Z perpendicular to the plane of the display panel 000 in the present embodiment, the first electrodes 101 and the third electrodes 201 at least partially overlap, the polarity applied to the third electrode 201 corresponding to one first electrode 101 in the same subpixel P is individually controlled by the second switching transistor T2 and the second data line S2, the polarity of the data voltage applied to the first electrode 101 in the same subpixel P may be set to be the same as the polarity of the voltage applied to the third electrode 201, that is, the second switching transistor T2 is turned on by the scanning line G, the voltage signal supplied to each third electrode 201 corresponding to each sub-pixel column PL through the second data line S2 is also a column inversion driving voltage, when a data voltage of +5V is applied to the first electrode 101 through the first data line S1, a driving signal of +2V is applied to the third electrode 201 of the subpixel P through the second data line S2; when a data voltage of-5V is applied to the first electrode 101 through the first data line S1, a driving signal of-2V is applied to the third electrode 201 of the sub-pixel P through the second data line S2, and a capacitance is formed between the first electrode 101 and the third electrode 201, an electric field E1 and an electric field E2 are formed by applying a voltage difference between the capacitance and the two electrodes, the data voltages of the first electrode 101 corresponding to two sub-pixels P adjacent to each other in the first direction X are +5V and-5V, respectively, and the driving voltages of the third electrode 201 corresponding to the data voltages are +2V and-2V, respectively, so as to reduce a difference between the electric field E1 formed by the first electrode 101 and the third electrode 201 in one of the two sub-pixels P adjacent to each other in the first direction X and the electric field E2 formed by the first electrode 101 and the third electrode 201 in the other sub-pixel P, as far as possible, the electric field E1 and the electric field E2 are equal, and the deflection angle θ 1 of the liquid crystal molecules in the sub-pixel P corresponding to the electric field E1 and the deflection angle θ 2 of the liquid crystal molecules in the sub-pixel P corresponding to the electric field E2 are also as same as possible, so that the problem of brightness difference between two adjacent sub-pixels P in the first direction X can be avoided, which is beneficial to improving the display quality and ensuring the display effect.

The film layer on which the third electrode 201 is located is closer to the first substrate 10 than the color resist layer 21 and the black matrix layer 22, so that the distance between the second electrode 102 and the third electrode 201 can be reduced in the narrow viewing angle display mode, and the vertical electric field can be enhanced. The color-resisting layer 21 may include color-resisting materials of three colors of red (R), green (G) and blue (B), which respectively correspond to the sub-pixels P of the three colors of red, green and blue. In the embodiment, the black matrix layer 22 is disposed in a manner including, but not limited to, sequentially arranging the red, green, and blue sub-pixels, and the light-shielding strip 221 covers the joint of the two adjacent sub-pixels.

In the embodiment, the second pole T2D (drain) of the second switch transistor T2 and the second electrode 201 in the second substrate 20 are electrically connected by a pad-up structure, or by a separate conductive connection portion, so that the second pole T2D of the second switch transistor T2 in the first substrate 10 and the second electrode 201 in the second substrate 20 are electrically connected, or by other electrical connection methods, which only needs to be satisfied that the conductive structures on the two opposing substrates can be electrically connected to each other to realize signal transmission, and the embodiment is not limited in detail herein.
Optionally, the first data line S1 and the second data line S2 in this embodiment may be disposed in the same layer, that is, the first data line S1 and the second data line S2 may be fabricated in the same layer and in the same process in a synchronous step, which is beneficial to reducing the overall thickness of the display panel 000 and improving the process efficiency. It should be understood that the drawings of the present embodiment are only illustrated with different filling patterns to distinguish the first data line S1 from the second data line S2, and do not indicate that the manufacturing materials of the two are different.
In some alternative embodiments, please refer to fig. 5-8 and fig. 9 in combination, fig. 9 is a partially enlarged schematic view of the first electrode and the third electrode in fig. 5 (it can be understood that, in order to illustrate the structure of the present embodiment, fig. 9 is filled with transparency), in the present embodiment, in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the display panel, the first electrode 101 and the third electrode 201 are overlapped with each other.
In this embodiment, it is explained that, in a direction Z perpendicular to a plane where the display panel 000 is located, the first electrodes 101 correspond to the third electrodes 201 one by one, and the first electrodes 101 coincide with the third electrodes 201, which can be understood that an edge of the first electrode 101 substantially coincides with an edge of the third electrode 201, so that each sub-pixel P includes one first electrode 101 and one third electrode 201, and while the first electrodes 101 correspond to the third electrodes 201 one by one, an area of the first electrode 201 may be substantially equal to an area of the third electrode 201, thereby avoiding a phenomenon that a partial area generates a pressure difference due to misalignment between the first electrode 101 and the third electrode 201, which causes a display flicker, and further facilitating to better improve display quality.
It can be understood that, since the first switch transistor T1 and the second switch transistor T2 need to be separately disposed in the region of one sub-pixel P, the connection region 101A of the first electrode 101 and the second pole T1D of the first switch transistor T1 and the connection region 201A of the third electrode 201 and the second pole T2D of the second switch transistor T2 need to be disposed separately and not to overlap, and therefore, in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the display panel in the present embodiment, the first electrode 101 and the third electrode 201 coincide with each other, and it can be understood that three edges of the first electrode 101 away from the connection region 101A of the first switch transistor T1 and three edges of the third electrode 201 away from the connection region 201A of the second switch transistor T2 illustrated in fig. 9 coincide.

The third electrode 201 in this embodiment is used as a peep-proof electrode, and liquid crystal molecules are deflected in the longitudinal direction under a vertical electric field formed by the third electrode 201 and the second electrode 102, so that the third electrode 201 does not need to form an in-plane electric field with other electrodes, and the third electrode 201 corresponding to one sub-pixel P can be set to be a whole-surface structure, which is beneficial to improving the process efficiency of the display panel 000. The first electrode 101 used as the pixel electrode needs to form an in-plane electric field with the second electrode 102, so that the slits 101K of the first electrode 101 enable the electric field to pass through and form a parallel electric field with the second electrode 102, which is beneficial to providing an electric field for driving liquid crystal molecules to deflect, and thus, a normal display effect of the display panel 000 is achieved.

The liquid crystal display panel does not emit light, when light of the backlight module enters the second substrate 20, a part of the light is shielded by the light shielding strips 221 of the black matrix layer 22, and the light which is not shielded by the light shielding strips 221 of the black matrix layer 22 can show different colors after passing through the color resistors 211 in the hollow portion 22K, so that the color display effect of the display panel 000 is realized.
