Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The liquid crystal display device usually includes a color film substrate, an array substrate and a liquid crystal filled between the color filter substrate and the array substrate and a sealant. The sealant is coated on the color film substrate or the array substrate, and is distributed near the peripheral edges of the color filter substrate and the array substrate. The color film substrate and the array substrate are combined to form a liquid crystal cell by the sealant curing to maintain the cell thickness between the color filter substrate and the array substrate, and the sealing of the liquid crystal cell can be realized to cut off contact between the liquid crystal molecules and the outside.


The curing of the sealant generally requires two processes of UV curing and heat curing. If the sealant is cured abnormally, the sealant that is not fully cured will cause contamination of the liquid crystal. In the prior art, in order to reduce the contamination of the liquid crystal by the sealant, it is required that the design of the metal traces in the sealant possesses a higher aperture ratio, but the contamination influence of the position of the sealant coating and the position of the metal traces to the liquid crystal is rarely considered. However, as the resolution of the display device increases, the aperture ratio of the sealant will become smaller and smaller. If the cure rate of the sealant is intended to be decreased only by improving the aperture ratio of the sealant for reducing the contamination of the liquid crystal, it must more and more difficult.


Therefore, there is a need to optimize the design of the metal traces of the sealant adjacent to the liquid crystal to improve the curing rate of the sealant adjacent to the liquid crystal, so as to reduce the contamination of the liquid crystal by the incompletely cured sealant.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the disclosure more apparent; the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.


As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2; the first embodiment of the present invention provides an array substrate; comprising a main body 1, a sealant coating region 2 formed on the main body 1 and on a periphery of the main body 1 and used for sealant coating and a liquid crystal filling region 3 located in a middle of the main body 1 and surrounded by the sealant coating region 2; wherein


in the sealant coating region 2, a metal trace structure 4 on the main body 1 is provided, and the metal trace structure 4 comprises a plurality of metal traces spaced apart; wherein the sealant coating region 2 comprises light transmissive regions corresponding to gaps between the plurality of metal traces;


in a region of the sealant coating region 2 adjacent to a side of the liquid crystal filling region 3, a proportion of the light transmissive region L2 adjacent to the liquid crystal filling region 3 is larger than a proportion of the light transmissive region L2 away from the liquid crystal filling region 3; wherein the proportion of the light transmissive region L2 is an area ratio of the light transmissive region L2 to a corresponding sealant coating region 2.


It should be noted that the larger the ratio of the light transmissive region L2 is, the higher the UV light transmittance is. Therefore, in the region of the sealant coating region 2 adjacent to the liquid crystal filling region 3, the proportion of the light transmissive region adjacent to the liquid crystal filling region 3 is larger than the proportion of the light transmissive region away from the liquid crystal filling region 3. Thus, compared with the tracing rule of the conventional metal trace structure 4, the area of the light transmissive region L2 formed by the metal trace in the sealant coating region 2 is gradually increased, so that the area of the light transmissive region L2 is increased. Particularly, in the sealant coating region 2 adjacent to the liquid crystal filling region 3, it can be seen more obvious.


In the first embodiment of the present invention, in the case where the total designed width of the sealant coating region 2 is limited, the proportion of the light transmissive region L2 is improved by increasing the spacings of metal traces of the sealant adjacent to the liquid crystal or reducing the widths of the metal traces adjacent to the liquid crystal. Thus, the UV light transmittance adjacent to the liquid crystal is improved to increase the curing rate of the sealant adjacent to the liquid crystal, so as to reduce the contamination of the liquid crystal by the incompletely cured sealant.


In one embodiment, widths of the plurality of metal traces in the metal trace structure 4 are decreased progressively by a linear decreasing law or a nonlinear decreasing law in a direction from the metal trace structure 4 toward the liquid crystal filling region 3, and spacings between every two adjacent metal traces in the metal trace structure 4 are equal.


In another embodiment, the widths of the plurality of metal traces in the metal trace structure 4 are equal, and spacings between every two adjacent metal traces in the metal trace structure 4 are increased progressively by a linear increasing law or a nonlinear increasing law in a direction from the metal trace structure 4 toward the liquid crystal filling region 3.

It can be understood that the widths of the plurality of metal traces in the metal trace structure 4 can also be decreased progressively by a linearly decreasing law or a nonlinear decreasing law from a certain metal trace in the middle toward the liquid crystal filling region 3, or the spacings between every two adjacent metal traces in the metal trace structure 4 can be increased progressively by a linearly increasing law or a nonlinear increasing law from a certain metal trace in the middle toward the liquid crystal filling region 3 as long as the proportion of the light transmissive region L2 is gradually increased toward the liquid crystal filling region 3.
