具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。
液晶显示器中的公共电极一般为覆盖显示区域的整张的膜层(板式结构)或者具有例如如图1所示的分割设计结构。图1中每一像素单元中设置有一个公共电极10,每行像素单元设置一条公共电极线11(例如,Com1~Com 4),向该行像素中的各个公共电极10提供液晶驱动需要的公共电压。随长度的延伸,公共电极线11上会存在压降,使得公共电极的电压在整个面板内部的分布是不均匀的,这会降低显示的均匀性。
本发明的至少一实施例提供一种阵列基板,参照图2所示,该阵列基板包括:多条间隔排列的公共电极线11,公共电极线11向相应的像素单元提供公共电压,该阵列基板还包括:至少两条连接线12,所述连接线12均位于显示区域,用于在至少两条相邻的公共电极线11之间实现相互电连接。
本实施例中通过连接线12将相邻的两条或者更多条公共电极线11相互电连接,该连接可以是直接相连,即连接线12的一端与一条公共电极线11相连,另一端与另一条公共电极线11相连,连接线12两端之间的中间点还可以与更多其他公共电极线11相连;该连接也可以是间接相连,即每一条公共电极线11与至少一行(或列)像素中的公共电极10相连,然后相邻行(或列)的公共电极10通过上述连接线12相连。连接线12一般在与公共电极线11垂直的方向,将相邻两条或者更多条公共电极线11相互电连接。
一般而言,在液晶显示器领域中的行一般指与栅线平行的方向,列一般指与数据线平行的方向,本文的叙述可以参照此方式理解。但本领域技术人员可以理解的是,本实施例中的行或列只是描述相对概念,可以不作区分。
本发明实施例中,通过至少两条连接线将相邻的两条(或多条)公共电极线相互电连接,可以将相邻公共电极线并联或者相邻公共电极线的部分线段并联,众所周知两个电阻并联后总阻值会降低,因而设置连接线可以降低公共电极线上的电阻,提高显示均匀性。另外,因所述连接线位于显示区域,可以在阵列基板制程中同步完成,不需要额外增加工序。
为了本领域技术人员更好的理解本发明实施例提供的技术方案,下面通 过具体的实施例对本发明提供的基板进行详细说明。
如图2所示阵列基板,为符合本实施例的第一种具体示例。该阵列基板包括:横向分布的栅线13(例如,G1~G4),纵向分布的数据线14(例如,D1~D3),栅线13和数据线14纵横交错区域设置有像素单元,每一像素单元内设置有一公共电极10和一像素电极(位于公共电极10的上方或下方,图中未示出),栅线13与数据线14的交叉处还设置有作为开关元件的薄膜晶体管。每个像素单元中中,薄膜晶体管的源极与数据线14相连,漏极与像素电极相连,栅极与栅线13相连。阵列基板上还设置有与栅线13平行的公共电极线11(例如,Com1~Com4),每一条公共电极线11与一行公共电极10相连,用于向一行公共电极10提供公共电压,上下相邻的每两行的公共电极线11通过至少两条连接线11相连。
可选地,还可以将上下相邻的每三行或者每四行,或者更多行的公共电极线11通过至少两条连接线11相连。
可选地,上述连接线12可包括:第一连接线121和第二连接线122;位于不同行中的至少4个像素单元的公共电极10通过第一连接线121和第二连接线122相互电连接,形成一个封闭环状的公共电极单元20。
例如,公共电极10的连接方式可以如图2所示,上下相邻的每两行像素单元的中的至少4个像素单元的公共电极通过第一连接线121和第二连接线122相互电连接,形成一个封闭环状的公共电极单元20。虽然图2中仅示出4行2列像素单元,实际上相类似地,图中未示出区域可以存在更多相同结构的公共电极单元20。
或者,还可以如图3和图4所示,上下相邻的每3行或每4行的像素单元的公共电极10相互连接形成一个公共电极单元20。当然,公共电极单元20中像素单元的数量不局限上述方式,本发明的实施例的设置都可以降低公共电极线上的电阻,从而降低公共电极信号的压降,提高显示的均匀性。
进一步地,上述位于同一行或同一列的公共电极单元20相互电连接。同一行或同一列的公共电极单元20之间至少通过一条走线相互电连接,例如可以单一采用将左右相邻的同一行公共电极单元20相连,也可以采用上下相邻同一列公共电极单元20相连,或者两种连接方式组合使用。
可选地,上述公共电极线11可以与栅线13平行且同层设置,连接线12 与数据线14平行且同层设置,公共电极线11与连接线12位于不同层,通过设置过孔相互连接。制备时因连接线12与栅线13同层设置,在阵列基板制程中可以同步形成栅线13和连接线12,不需要因此额外增加工序。
如图5所示,为本实施例提供的第二种具体示例,与上述示例的区别之处在于,该示例中的公共电极线11(例如,Com1~Com4)与数据线14平行设置,每一条公共电极线11与一列公共电极10相连,用于向该列公共电极10提供公共电压,左右相邻的每两列的公共电极10通过至少两条连接线12相连,连接线12与栅线13平行设置。同样可选地,本示例中也可以将左右相邻的每三列或者每四列,或者更多列的公共电极10通过至少两条连接线12相连。
具体而言,本示例可采用的更为详细的连接方式如下:左右相邻的每两列像素单元的中的4个像素单元的公共电极10通过公共电极线11和两条连接线12相互电连接,形成一个封闭环状的公共电极单元20。与图3和图4所示相类似地,还可以是左右相邻的每3列或每4列甚至更多列的像素单元的公共电极为一个公共电极单元20。进一步地,位于同一列的公共电极单元20相互电连接。
本示例中通过连接线将与数据线平行排列的公共电极线相互电连接,可以降低公共电极线上的电阻以及公共电极信号的压降,从而提高显示的均匀性。
如图6所示,为符合本实施例的第三种具体示例,与上述两种示例的区别之处在于,本示例中将基板划分为多个区域15,位于同一区域15内的公共电极线11通过至少两个连接线12相连。
为简略起见,图6省去公共电极的具体图示,只示出公共电极线11(Com1~Com12)和连接线12,公共电极线11与公共电极的连接,以及连接线12与公共电极线11的连接具体可参照图2~5。图中示出12条公共电极线11(Com1~Com12),相邻的每四条公共电极线11划分为一个区域15,即公共电极线Com1~Com4划分为第一个区域15,公共电极线Com4~Com8划分为第二个区域15,公共电极线Com8~Com12划分为第三个区域15,如有更多公共电极线,则以下类推进行划分。以第一个区域15为例,该区域15中这4行公共电极线Com1~Com4中都通过至少两条连接线12相互连接, 图中的每一黑点即代表一个连接线12与公共电极线11的连接处。进一步地,采用多条连接线12将每一区域内的公共电极都连接成网状结构,以降低公共电极线上的电阻,提高显示的均匀性。
进一步地,所述基板边缘还设置有公共引线,位于同一区域15内的公共电极线11与同一公共引线相连。参照图6所示,第一个区域15中的公共电极线Com1~Com4中与一条公共引线16相连;类似地,第二个区域15中的公共电极线Com4~Com8中与第二条公共引线(未示出)相连;类似地,第三个区域15中的公共电极线Com8~Com12中与第三条公共引线(未示出)相连,与此类推,其余区域不再赘述。
可选地,连接不同区域内的公共电极线的公共引线的电压不同。为进一步提高显示均匀性,可以根据实际需要,通过公共引线向不同区域提供不同的公共电压,以补偿公共电极信号传递时的压降。
本实施例还提供第三种具体示例的一种变型,与第三种具体示例不同之处在于,先通过第一连接线和第二连接线将相邻像素单元中的公共电极相互电连接,形成多个封闭环状的公共电极单元。基板的边缘设置有公共引线,如果公共电极单元包括的公共电极线为奇数时,则公共引线与所述第(N+1)/2条公共电极线连接;如果公共电极单元包括的公共电极线为偶数时,则公共引线与所述第N/2和(N/2+1)条公共电极线连接,这种连接方式,可以根据实际需要,通过公共引线向各公共电极单元所在的区域提供不同的公共电压,以补偿公共电极信号传递时的压降,并且可以使公共电压在公共电极单元所在的区域的公共电极线网络上分布更均匀。
本示例通过划分不同区域,并分区域提供不同大小的公共电压的方式,可以降低公共电极线上的电阻,并补偿公共电极信号传递时的压降,从而提高显示的均匀性。
本发明实施例还提供一种显示装置,其包括上述任意一种阵列基板。该显示装置包括阵列基板与对置基板,二者彼此对置以形成液晶盒,在液晶盒中填充有液晶材料。该对置基板例如为彩膜基板。在一些示例中,该液晶显示装置还包括为阵列基板提供背光的背光源。
根据本发明实施例的显示装置,因公共电极信号传递时的压降更小,从而可获得更高的显示品质。所述显示装置可以为:液晶面板、电子纸、OLED 面板、手机、平板电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪、手表等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。
本发明实施例提供一种基板和显示装置,通过设置至少两条连接线将相邻的两条(或多条)公共电极线相互电连接,利用两个电阻并联后总阻值降低的原理,从而降低了公共电极线上的电阻,提高了显示均匀性。另外,所述基板可以为阵列基板,因所述连接线位于显示区域,可以在阵列基板制程中同步完成,不需要额外增加工序。
上述实施例的所述基板均以基板为阵列基板为例进行介绍,可选的,所述基板还可以为对置基板(例如彩膜基板),此时公共电极可以并非形成在阵列基板之上。可以理解的,此时相应的“像素单元”可以为阵列基板上的像素单元。
本说明书中的各个实施例均采用递进的方式描述,各个实施例之间相同相似的部分互相参见即可,每个实施例重点说明的都是与其他实施例的不同之处。尤其,对于设备实施例而言,由于其基本相似于方法实施例,所以描述得比较简单,相关之处参见方法实施例的部分说明即可。
以上所述仅是本发明的示范性实施方式,而非用于限制本发明的保护范围,本发明的保护范围由所附的权利要求确定。
本申请要求于2014年8月5日递交的中国专利申请第201420438070.0号的优先权,在此全文引用上述中国专利申请公开的内容以作为本申请的一部分。
