The present disclosure relates to the display technology field, and more particularly, to a color film on array (COA) substrate and a liquid crystal display panel.
Multi-domain alignment liquid crystal displays are widely applied in large-sized liquid crystal display panels due to high contrast and wide viewing angles. With the development of screen size toward a larger screen, eight-domain pixel design has been stressed in large-sized display devices because of its excellent viewing angle performance. Although a refinement of pixel size and an increase in the number of domains have severely reduced transmittance of panels, data line black matrix less (DBS) technology improves the transmittance.
In color film on array (COA) substrates, when the pixel size is small, a closed pixel through-hole structure cannot be realized. A shape of the pixel through-hole is a semi-opening shape so that two structures of a pixel electrode and a DBS line occur in a same hole. Because a color resist layer is thick, when a photoresist is irradiated, it is easy for a portion of the color resist layer to accumulate, causing the DBS line to be left in the pixel through-hole, so that the pixel through-hole and the DBS line are short-circuiting.
Thus, in the current liquid crystal display panel technology, the DBS line in the liquid crystal display panels are easily left in the pixel through-hole, causing a problem that the pixel through-hole and the DBS line are short-circuiting, which needs to be solved.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a COA substrate and a liquid crystal display panel, which are used for solving the problem that the DBS line in the liquid crystal display panels in the prior art easily remains on the pixel through-hole, so that the pixel through-hole and the DBS line are short-circuiting.

Each of the pixel units comprises a plurality of sub-pixel units, and the sub-pixel units are divided into a main-pixel region and a sub-pixel region. The DBS common electrode line in the non-opening region of the pixel unit bypasses the pixel through-hole, which prevents a pixel electrode at the pixel through-hole from contacting the DBS common electrode line, causing short-circuiting.
