  • Publication number: 20170329187
    Abstract: An array substrate, and a display panel and a display device are provided. The array substrate includes a base substrate, pixel units disposed on the base substrate, and a first and a second electrodes disposed within the pixel units. The first electrode is disposed above the second electrode and comprises a strip-shaped first opening area having a first and a second ends and extending along a first direction. An orthogonal projection of a transmitting area of the pixel units to the base substrate covers an orthogonal projection of a part of the first opening area. An orthogonal projection of a non-transmitting area of the pixel units covers orthogonal projections of the first end and second ends to the base substrate. In this way, an electric field component resulting in disordered rotation of liquid crystal molecules is located in the non-transmitting area of the pixel units.

  • Patent number: 9778517
    Abstract: An array substrate includes a substrate, a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines intersecting the gate lines and insulated from the gate lines. The intersections of the gate lines and data lines define a plurality of pixel units, each of the pixel units comprise a first electrode and a second electrode laminated, with the second electrode having at least one branch electrode, and the first electrode having at least one first slit disposed between the pixel units and extending in a direction of the data lines. In the array substrate, the display panel and the display device, the electrode under the black matrix is removed by hollowing out to reduce the electric field strength under the black matrix.

  • Patent number: 9541802
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a TFT array substrate and a display panel. Multiple pixel electrodes structured with at least one domain are arranged in each pixel area, and the angle/angles of at least one deflection in the same-sided deflections of the pixel electrodes of the same domain in the pixel area in the direction parallel to the initial arrangement direction of liquid crystal not driven by a voltage to rotate is different from the angles of other deflections. Through the design of different deflection angles of the pixel electrodes of the same domain, even under a low gray scale, since the rotating angles of liquid crystal molecules driven by different pixel electrodes are different, the inner parts of the liquid crystal molecules driven by the pixel electrodes may be relatively completely compensated.

  • Publication number: 20160187746
    Abstract: An array substrate and a liquid crystal display panel are described. The array substrate includes: pixel electrodes and common electrodes, where each of the pixel electrodes and/or the common electrodes includes one or more straight-line portions located in multiple pixel regions defined by the intersection of the scanning lines and the data lines. The straight-line portions in two pixel regions adjacent to each other in an extension direction of the data line are symmetric about an extension direction of the scanning line. The array substrate also includes an alignment layer having an alignment direction substantially perpendicular to the extension direction of the scanning line, and an angle between an extension direction of the straight line portion and the alignment direction of the alignment layer is greater than or equal to 4 degrees and less than or equal to 6 degrees.
