Detailed Description
The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings. The terminology used in the description of the embodiments of the examples herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a liquid crystal display device provided in an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 1, the liquid crystal display device provided in the embodiment of the present application may include a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight 1.
The liquid crystal display panel may be an In-Plane Switching (IPS) display panel, or may be another type of display panel, and the example of the liquid crystal display panel In the embodiment is described as an IPS display panel.
The liquid crystal display panel may include: a color film substrate 2, an array substrate 3 and a liquid crystal layer 4.
The array substrate 3 and the color film substrate 2 are arranged oppositely, and the liquid crystal layer 4 is located between the array substrate 3 and the color film substrate 2.
The backlight source 1 is located on one side of the array substrate 3, which is away from the color film substrate 2, and the backlight source is used for providing a backlight source for the liquid crystal display panel.
The array substrate 3 may include a common electrode layer and a pixel electrode layer, the common electrode layer may include a plurality of common electrodes arranged in an array, the pixel electrode layer may include a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in an array, the number of columns of the common electrodes and the number of columns of the pixel electrodes are the same, each column of the common electrodes corresponds to one column of the pixel electrodes, and each column of the common electrodes corresponds to different columns of the pixel electrodes.
Fig. 2 is a schematic arrangement diagram of common electrodes and pixel electrodes provided in an embodiment of the present application in a column direction, as shown in fig. 2, each column of pixel electrodes and the corresponding column of common electrodes are arranged in a staggered manner, a projection area of each pixel electrode on a substrate of an array substrate 3 and a projection area of two corresponding adjacent common electrodes (a first common electrode and a second common electrode) on the substrate are partially overlapped in the column direction, each overlapping area corresponds to one pixel unit of the array substrate 3, and the pixel units corresponding to each overlapping area are different. Therefore, a pixel electrode can form a horizontal electric field with two corresponding adjacent common electrodes in the column direction, and if different voltages are output to the two adjacent common electrodes, the display areas (namely the first pixel unit and the second pixel unit) corresponding to the two horizontal electric fields can display different gray scales, so that the display area corresponding to one pixel electrode can display two different gray scales in the column direction.
A projection of a center line between boundaries of adjacent common electrodes on the substrate of the array substrate 3 may overlap a projection of a center line of a corresponding pixel electrode in the row direction on the substrate. Therefore, the lengths of the two horizontal electric fields corresponding to one pixel electrode in the column direction are equal, namely the areas of the first display area and the second display area corresponding to one pixel electrode are equal, and therefore the display effect of the liquid crystal display device is improved.
Each column of the common electrodes and the corresponding column of the pixel electrodes may share one data line, and each pixel electrode may share one combination switch with a corresponding one of the common electrodes. The combination switch may include a thin film transistor (which is a thin film transistor corresponding to the pixel electrode and is not a newly added thin film transistor) and a signal selection unit for controlling the data line to transmit the data signal to the common electrode or the pixel electrode when the thin film transistor is turned on. Thus, the data lines and the thin film transistors of the pixel electrodes corresponding to the common electrodes can be multiplexed, and the data lines and the thin film transistors do not need to be added for the common electrodes, so that the influence on the aperture ratio of the liquid crystal display device can be reduced.
Each pixel electrode may share one combination switch with the corresponding first common electrode, and may also share one combination switch with the corresponding second common electrode, and this embodiment will be exemplified by taking an example that each pixel electrode shares one combination switch with the corresponding first common electrode.
The signal selection unit may be a circuit element that conducts in one direction, such as a diode, a thyristor, etc. In the following description, the signal selection unit is taken as an example of a diode for exemplary explanation.

When the scanning line transmits a scanning signal, the thin film transistor T1 is turned on, and at this time, if the potential of the Data signal transmitted by the Data line Data is higher than the potential at the pixel electrode, the first diode P1 is turned on, and the Data signal transmitted by the Data line Data charges the pixel electrode, and due to the presence of the second diode P2, most of the current flows to the pixel electrode during charging, and at this time, the potential of the first reset signal line is high, and the second diode P2 is turned off, so as to reduce the influence of the first reset signal line on the potential at the pixel electrode. It is understood that when the potential of the data signal is higher than the potential at the common electrode, the third diode P3 is turned off, and the data signal is not charged to the common electrode.
If the potential of the Data signal transmitted by the Data line Data is lower than the potential of the common electrode, the third diode P3 is turned on, the Data signal charges the common electrode, most of the current flows to the common electrode during charging due to the fourth diode P4, the potential of the second reset signal line is low, and the fourth diode P4 is turned off, so that the influence of the second reset signal line on the potential of the common electrode is reduced. It is understood that when the potential of the data signal is lower than the potential at the pixel electrode, the first diode P1 is turned off, and the data signal is not charged to the pixel electrode.
The first reset signal line is used for resetting the potential of the pixel electrode, the second reset signal line is used for resetting the potential of the common electrode, and the first reset signal line can be electrically connected with the first peripheral reset signal line through a first switch tube T2; the first reset signal line may be electrically connected to the second peripheral reset signal line through the second switching tube T3.
The first and second switching tubes T2 and T3 may be disposed in a non-display area of the array substrate 3 to save an in-plane space.
The diodes can also reduce off-state leakage currents of the thin film transistor T1, the first switch tube T2 and the second switch tube T3, and further block the leakage currents so as to reduce the influence of the leakage currents on the common electrode and the pixel electrode.
Fig. 4 is a top view of an array substrate provided in an embodiment of the present application in a column direction, as shown in fig. 4,
the array substrate 3 may include a plurality of gate lines extending in a row direction, and a plurality of data lines extending in a column direction.
In the column direction, a shading unit can be arranged between the adjacent common electrodes to reduce the influence of liquid crystal disorder between the horizontal electric fields corresponding to the adjacent common electrodes on the display effect; a shading unit can be arranged between the adjacent pixel electrodes to reduce the influence of liquid crystal disorder between the horizontal electric fields corresponding to the adjacent pixel electrodes on the display effect.
In the column direction, the projection of the central line between the boundaries of the adjacent common electrodes on the substrate of the array substrate 3 can be located in the projection area of the corresponding gate line and the reset signal line of the array substrate 3 on the substrate, that is, the gate line and the reset signal line are located in the spacing area of the adjacent common electrodes in the column direction, and since the spacing area of the adjacent common electrodes does not emit light (is shielded by the corresponding light shielding units), the gate line and the reset signal line cannot shield light, and the loss of the aperture ratio of the liquid crystal display device caused by the gate line and the reset signal line is reduced.
