  • Patent number: 10768474
    Abstract: A display panel includes an active device substrate, an opposite substrate, a liquid crystal layer, a color filter layer, and a first polarized pattern layer. The color filter layer includes a first filter pattern, a second filter pattern, and a third filter pattern. The first polarized pattern layer includes a first upper polarized pattern, a second upper polarized pattern, and a third upper polarized pattern. The first upper polarized pattern is disposed in correspondence to the first filter pattern and includes a plurality of metal wires arranged along a first direction. The second upper polarized pattern is disposed in correspondence to the second filter pattern and includes a plurality of metal wires arranged along a second direction. The third upper polarized pattern is disposed in correspondence to the third filter pattern and includes a plurality of metal wires arranged along a third direction.

  • Patent number: 10670906
    Abstract: A display panel including a scan line, a first data line, a second data line, a first switching element, a second switching element, a first electrode, two second electrodes, a third electrode, a black matrix and a plurality of color filter layers is provided. The first switching element is electrically connected with the scan line and the first data line. The second switching element is electrically connected with the second data line. The first electrode includes at least two first openings. The two second electrodes are electrically connected with the first switching element and the second switching element respectively through the at least two first openings. The third electrode includes two first body portions, a second body portion and at least two branch portions. The black matrix includes a plurality of second openings. Two neighboring color filter layers are disposed corresponding to one of the second openings and form an overlapped structure.

  • Patent number: 10598997
    Abstract: A pixel array includes pixel unit sets each including a substrate having first and second pixel regions, a scan line, first and second data lines extending along a second direction, first and second active devices respectively in the first and second pixel regions, and first and second pixel electrodes respectively located in the first and second pixel regions and electrically connected to the first and second active devices, respectively. The scan line includes a main scan line and first and second branch scan lines (connected to the main scan line) extending along a first direction. The first active device is electrically connected to the first branch scan line and the first data line. The second active device is electrically connected to the second branch scan line and the second data line. At least one of the first and second data lines is overlapped with the first and second pixel electrodes.
