  • Patent number: 10170067
    Abstract: A GOA electric circuit introduces a resistor and a timing signal, which are used to replace a second capacitor in the existing skills. One terminal of the resistor is connected to a constant high voltage level and the other terminal thereof is connected to a gate electrode of a ninth thin-film transistor. A source electrode of the ninth thin-film transistor is electrically connected to the timing signal. In the stage maintaining the output terminal at low voltage level, the voltage level of the second node can be changed between high and low voltage levels as the timing signal is changed, and the voltage level of the second node is pulled down in a specific frequency. This effectively prevents the second node from being at high voltage level for a long time and avoids the problem of threshold voltage shifting, and therefore improves the stability of GOA electric circuit.

  • Patent number: 10146078
    Abstract: An array substrate for a liquid crystal display panel is disclosed. The array substrate includes a first substrate, a Lower Temperature Polycrystal Silicon (LTPS) Thin-Film-Transistor (TFT) disposed on the first substrate, a color photoresist layer disposed on the LTPS TFT, and multiple photo spacers disposed above the color photoresist layer. A liquid crystal display panel including the array substrate and a second substrate disposed oppositely to the array substrate is also disclosed. The present invention utilizes the second substrate to be aligned with the LTPS TFT array substrate in order to form the liquid crystal display panel. Because the second substrate is a bare substrate (without a pattern), when the second substrate is aligned with the array substrate, the alignment precision is not under consideration. Accordingly, apertures ratios of the liquid crystal display panel do not have difference.

  • Patent number: 10126621
    Abstract: The present disclosure proposes a GOA circuit based on LTPS TFTs. A ninth TFT is introduced to adjust the high and low voltage levels imposed on the second node P(n). The ninth TFT includes a gate and a source both electrically connected to the second node P(n) and a drain electrically connected to a second clock signal. Such designs make it possible that the level of the second node P(n) is pulled down according to a certain frequency when an output terminal G(n) keeps the low voltage level. So the second node P(n) does not need to keep the high voltage level all the time in the present invention. Also, the fourth and the seventh transistors T4 and T7 do not have the problem of a threshold voltage shift due to a long working time.

  • Patent number: 10126343
    Abstract: The invention provides an ESD detection method for array substrate. By connecting the first metal layer on array substrate through the first wire to the first test point, connecting the second metal layer on array substrate through the second wire to the second test point, when ESD occurs on array substrate, the resistance detection device is used to measure the resistance between the first and second test points. If the resistance is positive infinity, ESD did not occur between the first and second metal layers; if the resistance is within a measurable range, ESD occurs between the first and second metal layers. The resistance is used to locate the location of ESD occurrence on array substrate. Compared to known method using microscope to search ESD location, the invention can locate ESD location on array substrate more accurately and rapidly to save time and labor as well as detection cost.

  • Patent number: 10078993
    Abstract: A GOA substrate includes N shift register units. The first stage shift register unit outputs a scan signal pulse based on a first clock signal and a start signal. The last stage shift register unit outputs a scan signal pulse based on Mth clock signal and the start signal. The start signal has a pulse width starting from a falling edge of the Mth clock signal of the last stage shift register unit when scanning a first frame, and ending at a rising edge of the first clock signal of the first stage shift register unit when scanning a second frame. Since the first and last shift register units are used to drive a scan signal pulse based on the start signal, the present invention reduces the number of wires needed to transmit start signals and simplifies the complexity of the layout design.
