The liquid crystal panel that the tft array substrate of available technology adopting GOA technology is made is produced on driving circuit 12 on the tft array substrate 11 and is mainly each row controlling grid scan line driving voltage is provided as shown in Figure 1 among Fig. 1.In order to be input to driving circuit on the tft array substrate 11 to the signal that plays driving action, on 12 tft array substrates that the drive signal line 13 of these driving action signals of transmission need be made.The signal of above-mentioned driving action can include but not limited to: STV signal (shows signal), Vdd signal (operating voltage signal), Vss signal (common ground signal), CLK signal (clock signal).
The connected mode of each drive signal line 13 and driving circuit 12 is with reference to figure 2, and driving circuit 12 is made up of many groups shift register, and each drive signal line 13 need be connected to the signal input part of respectively organizing the shift register correspondence.
Above-mentioned tft array substrate 11 is formed liquid crystal panel by envelope frame glue 14 and color membrane substrates 16 involutory backs, as shown in figures 1 and 3, in the prior art to fashionable, the position of envelope frame glue 14 is arranged on the outside of above-mentioned drive signal line 13 and driving circuit 12, is equivalent to have following three parts simultaneously: drive signal line 13, driving circuit 12 and the effective viewing area 15 that is driven pixel in the inside of envelope frame glue 14.
State in realization in the process of GOA technology, the inventor finds that there are the following problems at least in the prior art:
The first, it is less to be positioned at the peak width size that is driven the pixel periphery in envelope frame glue inside, and in present product, above-mentioned width generally is set at 2.5mm to 3.3mm, and portioned product is 2.5mm to 4.2mm with above-mentioned width setup also.Because can the layout drive signal line and the driving circuit space limited, cause drive signal line generally thinner, make the resistance on the drive signal line increase, thus, the drive signal of transmitting on drive signal line will have bigger delay, and the delay of controlling grid scan line that particularly reaches last column is bigger.
The second, drive signal line is positioned at envelope frame glue inboard, make the transparency conducting layer 17 on drive signal line and the color membrane substrates 16 will form electric capacity, and owing to be the medium that liquid crystal serves as described electric capacity, so the electric capacity between the transparency conducting layer 17 on drive signal line and the color membrane substrates is bigger, make the drive signal of transmitting on the drive signal line will have bigger delay equally.
