The present disclosure relates to a liquid crystal display technology field, and more particularly to a COA substrate and a liquid crystal display panel including the COA substrate.
Displays, such as liquid crystal displays (referred to as LCDs) and organic electroluminescent devices (referred to as OELDs) have become necessities in people's lives. With the increasing of people's demands, in order to improve display quality of a display and avoid problems that a displacement affects an aperture ratio of the display and light leakage occurs when an array substrate and a color filter substrate are assembled, color filter on array (COA) technology in which the color filter substrate and the array substrate are integrated together is developed. The COA technology is to dispose the color filter substrate on the array substrate.
When a pixel density in a panel is increasing, scan lines for pixels are increasing as well. A charging time of each of the pixels is decreased in a period of a frame. RC delays (signal delays) of data lines can be reduced to increase the charging time of each of the pixels. The signal delays are affected by parasitic capacitances of the data lines. Most of conventional in-plane switching (IPS) type liquid crystal panels use the COA technology, and the parasitic capacitances of intersections of the gate lines and the data lines arc large. Accordingly, the signal delays are increased, and the effective charging time of each of the pixels is reduced, so that the display effect of the liquid crystal display panel is affected.
The present disclosure provides a COA substrate capable of reducing parasitic capacitances between gate lines and data lines for solving the technical problems that the parasitic capacitances of intersections of the gate lines and the data lines are large, signal delays arc increased, effective charging time of each of the pixels is reduced, and display effect of a liquid crystal display panel is affected.

For a better understanding of embodiments or technical schemes in the prior art, the drawings of the embodiments or the description of prior art are briefly described as follows. The drawings in the following descriptions are merely some embodiments of the present disclosure. A person skilled in the art could derive other drawings in accordance with the accompanying drawings without devoting creative work.
For a better understanding of the aforementioned content of the present disclosure, preferable embodiments are illustrated in accordance with the attached figures for further explanation. The following embodiments are referring to the accompanying drawings for exemplifying specific implementable embodiments of the present disclosure. Furthermore, directional terms described by the present disclosure, such as upper, lower, front, back, left, right, inner, outer, side and etc., are only directions by referring to the accompanying drawings, and thus the used directional terms are used to describe and understand the present disclosure, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In the drawings, structure-like elements are labeled with like reference numerals.
The present disclosure aims to solve the technical problems that display effect of a liquid crystal display panel is affected because parasitic capacitances of intersections of gate lines and data lines are large, signal delays are increased, and the effective charging time of each of pixels are reduced.
A thin film transistor 101, a data line 102, a scan line 103, a common electrode 104, and a pixel electrode 105 are shown in
In
In a film structure of the COA substrate, a metal layer on which the data line 102 is located is positioned above a metal layer on which the scan line 103 is located. A passivation layer, a color resist layer, and a resin layer are sequentially formed on the data line 102. The jumper wire 108 is formed on the resin layer on the top. Accordingly, a film thickness between a layer, on which the jumper wire 108 is located, and the metal layer, on which the scan line 103 is located, is larger than a film thickness between the layer, on which the jumper wire 108 is located, and the metal layer, on which the data line 102 is located. This equals to that an interval distance of an overlapping portion between the data line 102 and the scan line 103 is increased, thereby reducing a parasitic capacitance between the data line 102 and the gate line 103, decreasing a signal delay, and increasing an effective charging time of each of the pixels.
A thin film transistor 201, a data line 202, a scan line 203, a common electrode 204, and a pixel electrode 205 are shown in
In
As such, an overlapping portion between the data line 202 and the common electrode line 206 are connected via the second jumper wire 2082, thereby reducing a parasitic capacitance between the data line 202 and a metal line on the substrate and decreasing a signal delay. A liquid crystal display panel has better display effect.
As shown in
When the resin layer 307 is manufactured completely, second through holes 308 which penetrate through the resin layer 307 and the passivation layer 305 are formed via the second mask. Finally, a jumper wire 309 is manufactured on the resin layer 307. The jumper wire 309 is positioned above the scan line 302 and crosses the scan line 302. Two terminals of the jumper wire 309 are electrically connected to the data line 304 via the second through holes 308. The resin layer 307 is a polyfluoroalkoxy (PFA) layer.
In the film structure of the COA substrate, the data line 304 does not overlap with the scan line 302, and the jumper wire 309 is manufactured to replace the data line 304 which does not overlap with the scan line 302. This equals to that the data line 304 which does not overlap with the scan line 302 moves up. As a result, a distance between the data line 304 and the scan line 302 is increased, and a parasitic capacitance is reduced.
Preferably, the jumper wire 309 is made of a molybdenum-titanium (Mo—Ti) alloy material, and thus the data line 304 has a better electrical conductivity.
In accordance with the above-mentioned objective of the present disclosure, a COA liquid crystal display panel is provided. The COA liquid crystal display panel includes an upper substrate having a black matrix manufactured thereon for shielding light from edges of pixel units and interval areas between two adjacent ones of the pixel units; a lower substrate disposed corresponding to the upper substrate; and a liquid crystal layer positioned between the upper substrate and the lower substrate. The lower substrate includes a plurality of thin film transistors arranged in a matrix, a plurality of data lines, a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of common electrodes, a plurality of pixel electrodes, and a color resist layer. Each of the thin film transistors includes a gate, a source, and a drain. Each of the data lines is connected to the source of one of the thin film transistors for transmitting a display data signal to one of the pixel units. The scan lines intersect perpendicularly with the data lines to define the pixel units. Each of the scan lines is connected to the gate of one of the thin film transistors for controlling the gate of the one of the thin film transistors to be turned on or turned off. The common electrodes are connected to common electrode lines via first through holes. The common electrode lines and the scan lines are disposed at a same layer. Each of the common electrode lines is parallel to and adjacent to a previous one of the scan lines. Each of the pixel electrodes is connected to the drain of one of the thin film transistors. The pixel electrodes and the common electrode arc alternately disposed at a same layer for generating a horizontal electric field to drive liquid crystal molecules to be rotated. The color resist layer is utilized for filtering backlight to generate color light. Plural gaps are formed in portions which are intersected by the data lines and the scan lines. The gaps cross the scan lines. Two terminals of each of the gaps are connected via a jumper wire. The jumper wire is electrically connected to one of the data lines via second through holes.
In the COA substrate provided by the present disclosure, the gaps are formed in the portions of the data lines which intersect with the scan lines, and the jumper wires are disposed on the substrate to connect the gaps. A film thickness between the jumper wires and the scan lines is increased, thereby reducing parasitic capacitances of the portions of the data lines which intersect with the scan lines, decreasing signal delays, and increasing an effective charging time of the pixels. Accordingly, the display effect of the liquid crystal display panel is improved.
