  • Patent number: 11960186
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display panel and a display device are provided. A first metal line is disposed on a first substrate of the liquid crystal display panel. An orthographic projection of the first metal line on a pixel electrode covers a first trunk electrode. A voltage difference V1 between the first metal line and a common electrode is small, so that a liquid crystal molecule corresponding to the first metal line does not deflect. In this way, a problem of an insufficient liquid crystal recovery force when the liquid crystal display panel is pressed is resolved, eliminating poor liquid crystal diffusion as a result of pressing and resulting in improving display quality.
