Liquid crystal display (LCD) panels have been widely used in electronic devices such as computers, mobile phones, and televisions. In an LCD, a pixel unit is driven to display an image mainly by a voltage difference between a data voltage corresponding to a data signal transmitted by a data line and a common voltage. When the common voltage is transmitted to different pixel units through different common lines, capacitive coupling is prone to occur between adjacent data lines and common lines, which causes the common voltage to deviate from a preset voltage, and further causes crosstalk or flicker in the display of the pixel units.

The multiple second common lines CM2 extend along the second direction F2 and are arranged on a second surface 10c2 at intervals of a second distance along the first direction F1 (FIG. 7). The first common line CM1 and the second common line CM2 are electrically connected to each other through the array substrate 10c, and the first common line CM1 and the second common line CM2 are configured to transmit the common voltage to the pixel unit P so as to cooperate with the data signal to drive the pixel units P to display an image.

Similarly, the second common line CM2 may be arranged in the same manner.


The first distance and the second distance may be adjusted according to the number of the first common lines CM1 and the second common lines CM2 and the size of the array substrate 10c, which is not limited in the present disclosure.


The array substrate 10c further includes multiple conductive portions E penetrating through the array substrate 10c, where the conductive portion E is located at a position where the first common line CM1 intersects with the second common line CM2, and each conductive portion E is respectively connected to at least one first common line CM1 and at least one second common line CM2. That is, any one of the conductive portions E penetrates through the first surface 10c1 and the second surface 10c2 of the array substrate 10c, and the multiple first common lines CM1 and the multiple second common lines CM2 are electrically connected through the multiple conductive portions E, respectively.


In multiple conductive portions E disposed in a same row along the first direction F1, any two adjacent conductive portions E are correspondingly connected to two second common lines CM2 which are spaced apart by at least one second common line CM2. In multiple conductive portions E arranged in the same column along the second direction F2, any two adjacent conductive portions E are correspondingly connected to two first common lines CM1 which are spaced apart by at least one first common line CM1.


For conductive portions E in any two adjacent rows, multiple second common lines CM2 correspondingly connected to conductive portions E in the first row and multiple second common lines CM2 correspondingly connected to conductive portions E in the second row are alternately arranged along the first direction. For conductive portions E in any two adjacent columns, multiple first common lines CM1 correspondingly connected to conductive portions E in the first column and multiple first common lines CM1 correspondingly connected to conductive portions E in the second column are alternately arranged along the second direction.


For example, for conductive portions E in any adjacent i-th row and (i+1)-th row, multiple second common lines correspondingly connected to conductive portions E in the i-th row and multiple second common lines correspondingly connected to conductive portions E in the (i+1)-th row are alternately arranged along the first direction f1, where i is a positive integer. For conductive portions E in any adjacent j-th column and (j+1)-th column, multiple first common lines CM1 correspondingly connected to conductive portions E in the j-th column and multiple first common lines CM1 correspondingly connected to conductive portions E in the (j+1)-th column are alternately arranged along the second direction F2, where j is a positive integer.


When i=1, for the first row of conductive portions E and the second row of conductive portions E, multiple second common lines CM2 correspondingly connected to the first row of conductive portions E and multiple second common lines CM2 correspondingly connected to the second row of conductive portions E are alternately arranged in the first direction F1.


When j=1, for the first column of conductive portions E and the second column of conductive portions E, multiple first common lines CM1 correspondingly connected to the first column of conductive portions E and multiple first common lines CM1 correspondingly connected to the second column of conductive portions E are alternately arranged along the second direction F2.


By arranging the conductive sections E in a predetermined array, the number of the conductive sections E can be reduced, and the number of openings for the array substrate 10c can be reduced, thereby ensuring the stability of the array substrate 10c.


The multiple second common lines CM2 are connected to the common voltage generating circuit 12. The common voltage generating circuit 12 is configured to output the common voltage Vcom through the multiple second common lines CM2, and transmit the common voltage Vcom to the multiple first common lines CM1 through the multiple conductive portions E arranged in an array.


For the multiple second common lines CM2 disposed on the second surface 10c2 along the second direction F2, projections thereof on the first surface 10c1 coincide with the multiple data lines S. By aligning the second common lines CM2 with the data lines S, the aperture ratio of the pixel unit P can be effectively maintained.


Please refer to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a schematic layout view of the common lines of an alternative embodiment of FIG. 5. As shown in FIG. 6, the common voltage generating circuit 12 includes multiple common voltage generating units 121, where the multiple first common lines CM1 arranged on the first surface 10c1 are connected to at least one common voltage generating unit 121, and the multiple second common lines CM2 arranged on the second surface 10c2 are connected to at least another different common voltage generating unit 121.


In one embodiment, the common voltage generating circuit 12 includes two common voltage generating units 121, all of the first common lines CM1 are connected to one common voltage generating unit 121, and all of the second common lines CM2 are connected to the other common voltage generating unit 121.


In one embodiment, the common voltage generating circuit 12 includes three common voltage generating units 121. In the multiple first common lines CM1, half of the first common lines CM1 are connected to one common voltage generating unit 121, the other half of the first common lines CM1 are connected to another common voltage generating unit 121, and all of the second common lines CM2 are connected to the third common voltage generating unit 121 which is different from the first two common voltage generating units.


In one embodiment, the common voltage generating circuit 12 includes multiple common voltage generating units 121, every three adjacent first common lines CM1 are connected to one common voltage generating unit 121, and all second common lines CM2 are connected to one common voltage generating unit 121.


By respectively providing corresponding common voltage generating units 121, the common voltage outputted by the first common line CM1 and the second common line CM2 is more stable, thereby reducing the influence of capacitive coupling on the common voltage. Please also refer to FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the array substrate in FIG. 5. As shown in FIG. 7, the first common line CM1 and the scan line G are disposed on the first surface 10c1 of the array substrate 10c, the second common line CM2 is disposed on the second surface 10c2 of the array substrate 10c, the conductive portion E penetrates through the first surface 10c1 and the second surface 10c2, and the first common line CM1 is electrically connected to the second common line CM2 via the conductive portion E. The multiple second common lines CM2 are configured to transmit the received common voltage Vcom to the multiple first common lines CM1 through the conductive portions E.


Specifically, the through hole H penetrating through the array substrate 10c is formed at a preset position of the array substrate 10c, and a conductive material is filled in the through hole H to form a conductive portion E, where the conductive material may be silver paste or the like. For the arrangement of the through-holes H, a cyclic dry etching process can be used to etch the array substrate 10c by using hydrogen fluoride HF and oxygen O2, where the array substrate 10c is a glass (SiO2) substrate, and during etching of the array substrate 10c, C4F8 is used as a protective gas so as to protect the side surface of the array substrate 10c during etching, thereby avoiding the occurrence of bottom defects when forming the through-holes H. The reaction equation is: 4HF+SiO2=SiF4+2H2O 2. When the array substrate 10c is a flexible substrate, the through-hole H can be formed by exposure.


In order to maintain the aperture ratio of the pixel unit P, the arrangement of the through hole H should be maintained within a certain range, and the cross-sectional area of the through hole H is for example 10 μm×10 μm.


The first common lines CM1 are electrically connected to the second common lines CM2 through the conductive portions E arranged in an array. Because the second common lines CM2 are disposed on the back side of the array substrate 10c, the capacitive coupling effect between the common line and the common line, between the common line and the scan line, and between the common line and the data line can be effectively eliminated, thereby reducing the influence of the capacitive coupling effect on the common voltage.


The multiple second common lines CM2 extending in the second direction F2 are disposed on the second surface 10c2 of the array substrate 10c, and the multiple second common lines CM2 are electrically connected to the multiple first common lines CM1 via the multiple conductive portions E, so that the multiple second common lines CM2 can transmit the received common voltage Vcom to the multiple first common lines CM1 through the conductive portions E, as such, the coupling effect of the scan line G and the first common line CM1 on the common voltage is eliminated, thereby preventing the crosstalk due to the change in the common voltage. Meanwhile, the real-time refresh of the common voltage of the panel can be achieved through the multiple second common lines CM2.

All conductive portions E penetrate through the first surface 10c1 and the second surface 10c2 of the array substrate 10c, and the multiple first common lines CM1 and the multiple second common lines CM2 are electrically connected via the multiple conductive portions E, respectively.

The common voltage generating circuit 12 is configured to output the common voltage Vcom through the second common line CM2, receive a feedback signal from the feedback line CL, and adjust the common voltage Vcom outputted to the second common line CM2 according to the feedback signal.


For the multiple second common lines CM2 and the multiple feedback lines CL disposed on the second surface 10c2 along the second direction F2, projections thereof respectively coincide with the multiple data lines S. By aligning the second common lines CM2, the feedback lines CL, and the data lines S in the cross-section direction, the aperture ratio of the pixel unit P can be effectively maintained.


In an exemplary embodiment, the common voltage generating circuit 12 includes multiple common voltage generating units 121, where the multiple first common lines CM1 disposed on the first surface 10c1 are connected to at least one common voltage generating unit 121, and the multiple second common lines CM2 and multiple feedback lines CL disposed on the second surface 10c2 are connected to at least one common voltage generating unit 121. By setting corresponding common voltage generating units 121 respectively, the common voltage outputted by the first common line CM1 and the second common line CM2 is more stable, thereby reducing the influence of capacitive coupling on the common voltage.


The multiple second common lines CM2 extending in the second direction F2 are disposed on the second surface 10c2 of the array substrate 10c, and the multiple second common lines CM2 are electrically connected to the multiple first common lines CM1 via the multiple conductive portions E, so that the multiple second common lines CM2 can transfer the received common voltage Vcom to the multiple first common lines CM1 through the conductive portions E, as such, the influence of the coupling effect of the scan line G and the first common line CM1 on the common voltage is eliminated, thereby preventing the crosstalk phenomenon due to the change in the common voltage. Meanwhile, feedback lines CL corresponding to multiple second common lines CM2 are provided, so that the common voltage generating circuit 12 can correspondingly adjust the outputted common voltage according to the feedback signal transmitted through the feedback line CL, so that the common voltage keeps stable.
