Description

FIELD

The present disclosure relates to display technologies, and more particularly, to an array substrate, and a liquid crystal display panel.

BACKGROUND

Skin color deviation is an important design specification for liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs. It is generally defined by the difference in chromaticity brightness between the front view (0°) and the oblique view (30 to 60°) of the picture showing the human skin color. It is prescribed that the chromaticity (x, y) deviation when viewed from an oblique angle and a front view must be within a certain range. However, a Vertical Alignment (VA) LCD sometimes cannot meet this color deviation specification.

Among the VA LCDs with the color deviation problems, the products with color filter on array (COA) design are more serious than non-COA products. This phenomenon has led to greater difficulties and limitations in the design of COA products. Therefore, there is a need to solve the above issues.
