  • Patent number: 11287707
    Abstract: An array substrate includes switching components, pixel electrodes connected to the switching components, a common electrode disposed to overlap the pixel electrodes via an insulator, first lines connected to the switching components, second lines connected to the switching components and extending while crossing the first lines, first protection circuits connected to the first lines, respectively, second protection circuits connected to the second lines, respectively, a first common line connected to the first lines via the first protection circuits, and a second common line connected to the second lines via the second protection circuits. The second common line is connected to the first common line directly or indirectly and not being connected to the common electrode.

  • Patent number: 10754202
    Abstract: A liquid crystal panel includes a pair of substrates, a liquid crystal layer, and a sealant. The liquid crystal layer is disposed between the substrates. The sealant is disposed at edges of the substrates to seal the liquid crystal layer. At least one of the substrates includes an alignment film and a high wettability section. The alignment film is for aligning liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer. The high wettability section is in contact with the liquid crystal layer between outer edges of the alignment film and the sealant. The high wettability section has wettability greater than wettability of the alignment film.

  • Publication number: 20110021705
    Abstract: Disclosed is a composite film containing an acrylic polymer and a urethane polymer. The acrylic polymer contains an acrylic component including an acrylic acid monomer and a monofunctional (meth)acrylic monomer whose homopolymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of not less than 0° C. The acrylic acid monomer content in the acrylic component is not less than 1% by weight but not more than 30% by weight. The urethane polymer contains a urethane component obtained by reacting a diol and a diisocyanate. The diol and diisocyanate are used at an equivalent ratio NCO/OH of 1.1-2.0. The composite film has a content soluble in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF).
