Description

阵列基板、显示面板以及液晶显示装置Array substrate, display panel and liquid crystal display device

技术领域technical field

本发明实施例涉及液晶显示技术,尤其涉及一种阵列基板、显示面板以及液晶显示装置。Embodiments of the present invention relate to liquid crystal display technology, and in particular to an array substrate, a display panel, and a liquid crystal display device.

背景技术Background technique

目前,根据驱动模式的不同,显示面板的像素结构主要分为单闸型像素结构以及双闸型像素结构。与单闸型像素结构相比,双闸型像素结构具有生产成本较低,耗电量较少的优势,被广泛应用于手机、平板电脑、公共场所大厅的信息查询机等显示产品中。Currently, according to different driving modes, the pixel structure of the display panel is mainly divided into a single-gate pixel structure and a double-gate pixel structure. Compared with the single-gate pixel structure, the double-gate pixel structure has the advantages of lower production cost and less power consumption, and is widely used in display products such as mobile phones, tablet computers, and information inquiry machines in public halls.

现有技术中,在列翻转双闸型显示面板的阵列基板中,同一列像素单元内各像素单元具有相同的发光颜色,同一行像素单元内相邻两个像素单元具有不同的发光颜色,并且同一根数据线与其临近的位于其两侧的两列像素单元中的开关元件电连接。由于同一跟数据线与两种不同发光颜色的像素单元电连接,当需要利于其显示纯度较高的单色(如红色、绿色或蓝色)时,在一帧的时间内,需要连续改变数据线上输入的数据信号数次,以达到控制发光颜色与待显示颜色相同的像素单元正常发光,发光颜色与待显示颜色不同的像素单元不发光的目的。无疑,这个过程中,数据线的数据信号变化频率很高,各像素单元内像素电极与公共电极充电或放电时间较短,各像素单元无法达到预期的工作电压,致使出现显示面板在显示单色画面时,画面质量差的问题。In the prior art, in the array substrate of the column-inversion double-gate display panel, each pixel unit in the same row of pixel units has the same luminous color, and two adjacent pixel units in the same row of pixel units have different luminous colors, and The same data line is electrically connected to the adjacent switching elements in the two columns of pixel units on both sides thereof. Since the same data line is electrically connected to pixel units with two different luminescent colors, when it is necessary to display a single color with high purity (such as red, green or blue), the data needs to be continuously changed within one frame. The data signal input on the line is several times to achieve the purpose of controlling the pixel units with the same luminous color and the color to be displayed to emit light normally, and the pixel units with a luminous color different from the color to be displayed to not emit light. Undoubtedly, during this process, the data signal of the data line changes frequently, and the charging or discharging time between the pixel electrode and the common electrode in each pixel unit is short, and each pixel unit cannot reach the expected operating voltage, resulting in the display panel displaying monochrome. The picture quality is poor.

具体实施方式detailed description

下面结合附图和实施例对本发明作进一步的详细说明。可以理解的是,此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用于解释本发明,而非对本发明的限定。另外还需要说明的是,为了便于描述,附图中仅示出了与本发明相关的部分而非全部结构。The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, but not to limit the present invention. In addition, it should be noted that, for the convenience of description, only some structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings but not all structures.

图1a为现有技术中的一种阵列基板的结构示意图。参见图1a,该阵列基板示例性地包括:十条沿第一方向(即图中X轴方向)延伸的扫描线10(分别为第一扫描线G1、第二扫描线G2、第三扫描线G3、第四扫描线G4、第五扫描线G5、第六扫描线G6、第七扫描线G7、第八扫描线G8、第九扫描线G9以及第十扫描线G10),以及五条沿第二方向(即图中Y轴方向)延伸的数据线20(分别为第一数据线D1、第二数据线D2、第三数据线D3、第四数据线D4以及第五数据线D5)。这十条扫描线与五条数据线相互交叉定义出多个像素单元,多个像素单元排列形成5行10列的矩阵结构。FIG. 1a is a schematic structural diagram of an array substrate in the prior art. Referring to FIG. 1a, the array substrate exemplarily includes: ten scanning lines 10 (respectively the first scanning line G1, the second scanning line G2, and the third scanning line G3) extending along the first direction (that is, the X-axis direction in the figure). , the fourth scanning line G4, the fifth scanning line G5, the sixth scanning line G6, the seventh scanning line G7, the eighth scanning line G8, the ninth scanning line G9 and the tenth scanning line G10), and five along the second direction The data lines 20 (respectively the first data line D1 , the second data line D2 , the third data line D3 , the fourth data line D4 and the fifth data line D5 ) extending (that is, the Y-axis direction in the figure). The ten scanning lines and the five data lines cross each other to define a plurality of pixel units, and the plurality of pixel units are arranged to form a matrix structure with 5 rows and 10 columns.

相邻两行像素单元之间设置有两条扫描线。如图1a中,第一行像素单元与第二行像素单元之间设置有两条扫描线,分别为第二扫描线G2和第三扫描线G3。相邻两条数据线之间设置两列像素单元。如图1a中,第二数据线D2与第三数据线D3之间设置有两列像素单元。同一列像素单元内各像素单元具有相同的发光颜色。如图1a中,第一列像素单元的发光颜色为红色(R),第二列像素单元的发光颜色均为绿色(G)。同一行像素单元内相邻两个像素单元具有不同的发光颜色,如图1a中,从左往右,每一行像素单元内各像素单元的发光颜色依次为红(R)、绿(G)、蓝(B)、红(R)、绿(G)、蓝(B)、红(R)、绿(G)、蓝(B)。同一根数据线与与其紧邻的两列像素单元中的任意一个像素单元均电连接。如第一数据线D1与位于其左侧与其紧邻的第一列像素单元和位于其右侧与其紧邻的第二列像素单元中的任意一个像素单元均电连接。每一行像素单元内相邻两个像素单元分别与不同扫描线电连接。如第一行像素单元中,左起第一个像素单元与第二扫描线G2电连接,左起第二个像素单元与第一扫描线G1电连接,左起第三个像素单元与第二扫描线G2电连接,……。即左起第奇数个像素单元与第二扫描线G2电连接,左起第偶数个像素单元与第一扫描线G1电连接。Two scan lines are arranged between two adjacent rows of pixel units. As shown in FIG. 1 a , two scanning lines are arranged between the first row of pixel units and the second row of pixel units, which are respectively the second scanning line G2 and the third scanning line G3 . Two columns of pixel units are arranged between two adjacent data lines. As shown in FIG. 1a, two columns of pixel units are arranged between the second data line D2 and the third data line D3. Each pixel unit in the same row of pixel units has the same luminescent color. As shown in FIG. 1 a , the light emitting color of the pixel units in the first column is red (R), and the light emitting colors of the pixel units in the second column are all green (G). Two adjacent pixel units in the same row of pixel units have different luminous colors, as shown in Figure 1a, from left to right, the luminous colors of each pixel unit in each row of pixel units are red (R), green (G), green (G), Blue (B), Red (R), Green (G), Blue (B), Red (R), Green (G), Blue (B). The same data line is electrically connected to any pixel unit in the two adjacent columns of pixel units. For example, the first data line D1 is electrically connected to any pixel unit in the first row of pixel units immediately adjacent to its left and to any pixel unit in a second row of pixel units immediately adjacent to its right. Two adjacent pixel units in each row of pixel units are respectively electrically connected to different scanning lines. For example, in the first row of pixel units, the first pixel unit from the left is electrically connected to the second scanning line G2, the second pixel unit from the left is electrically connected to the first scanning line G1, and the third pixel unit from the left is electrically connected to the second The scanning line G2 is electrically connected to, . . . . That is, the odd-numbered pixel units from the left are electrically connected to the second scanning line G2, and the even-numbered pixel units from the left are electrically connected to the first scanning line G1.

图1b为包含图1a中提供的阵列基板的显示面板显示红色时,第一数据线D1上所传输的数据信号的波形图。参见图1a和图1b,当需要显示红色时,在一帧的工作时间内,从上向下,依次向各扫描线输入扫描信号,以控制与之电连接的各像素单元的开关单元开启或关闭。由于在图1a中,示例性地共包括10条扫描线,每一条扫描线上用于传输扫描信号的时间为1/10帧。FIG. 1 b is a waveform diagram of a data signal transmitted on the first data line D1 when the display panel including the array substrate provided in FIG. 1 a displays red. Referring to Figure 1a and Figure 1b, when it is necessary to display red, within the working time of one frame, input scanning signals to each scanning line sequentially from top to bottom, so as to control the switch unit of each pixel unit electrically connected to it to turn on or closure. Since in FIG. 1 a , exemplarily, 10 scanning lines are included in total, and the time for transmitting scanning signals on each scanning line is 1/10 frame.

在第一个1/10帧的工作时间内,第一扫描线G1上传输扫描信号,与该第一扫描线G1电连接的第一行第二个像素单元处于开启状态。此时,参见图1b,在第一数据线D1上并无数据信号传输,因此第一行第二个像素单元不发光。在第二个1/10帧的工作时间内,第二扫描线G2上传输扫描信号,与该第二扫描线G2电连接的第一行第一个像素单元处于开启状态。此时,参见图1b,在第一数据线D1上有数据信号传输,因此第一行第一个像素单元发光,并且该像素单元发光颜色为红色。在第三个1/10帧的工作时间内,第三扫描线G3上传输扫描信号,与该第三扫描线G3电连接的第二行第二个像素单元处于开启状态。此时,参见图1b,在第一数据线D1上并无数据信号传输,因此第二行第二个像素单元不发光。……在第十个1/10帧的工作时间内,第十扫描线G10上传输扫描信号,与该第十扫描线G10电连接的第五行第一个像素单元处于开启状态。此时,参见图1b,在第一数据线D1上有数据信号传输,因此第十行第一个像素单元发光,并且该像素单元发光颜色为红色。During the working time of the first 1/10 frame, a scanning signal is transmitted on the first scanning line G1, and the second pixel unit in the first row electrically connected to the first scanning line G1 is in an on state. At this time, referring to FIG. 1b, there is no data signal transmission on the first data line D1, so the second pixel unit in the first row does not emit light. During the working time of the second 1/10 frame, a scanning signal is transmitted on the second scanning line G2, and the first pixel unit in the first row electrically connected to the second scanning line G2 is in an on state. At this time, referring to FIG. 1 b , there is data signal transmission on the first data line D1 , so the first pixel unit in the first row emits light, and the color of the pixel unit is red. During the working time of the third 1/10 frame, the scanning signal is transmitted on the third scanning line G3, and the second pixel unit in the second row electrically connected to the third scanning line G3 is in an on state. At this time, referring to FIG. 1b, there is no data signal transmission on the first data line D1, so the second pixel unit in the second row does not emit light. ...During the working time of the tenth 1/10 frame, the scanning signal is transmitted on the tenth scanning line G10, and the first pixel unit in the fifth row electrically connected to the tenth scanning line G10 is in an on state. At this time, referring to FIG. 1b, there is data signal transmission on the first data line D1, so the first pixel unit in the tenth row emits light, and the light emission color of this pixel unit is red.

由此可见,当需要利于包含图1a中阵列基板的显示面板显示纯度较高的单色(如红色、绿色或蓝色)时,在一帧的工作时间内,需要连续改变数据线上所传输的数据信号数次,以达到控制发光颜色与待显示颜色相同的像素单元正常发光,发光颜色与待显示颜色不同的像素单元不发光的目的。无疑,这个过程中,数据线的数据信号变化频率很高,各像素单元内像素电极与公共电极充电或放电时间较短,各像素单元无法达到预期的工作电压,致使显示面板在显示单色画面时,画面质量差的问题。It can be seen that when it is necessary to facilitate the display panel including the array substrate in Figure 1a to display a single color with high purity (such as red, green or blue), within the working time of one frame, it is necessary to continuously change the data transmitted on the data line. the data signal several times to achieve the purpose of controlling the pixel units with the same luminous color and the color to be displayed to emit light normally, and the pixel units with a luminous color different from the color to be displayed to not emit light. Undoubtedly, in this process, the data signal of the data line changes frequently, and the charging or discharging time between the pixel electrode and the common electrode in each pixel unit is short, and each pixel unit cannot reach the expected working voltage, causing the display panel to display monochrome images. , the problem of poor picture quality.

另外从图1a中还可以看出,在驱动时,当第一数据线D1、第三数据线D3以及第五数据线D5输出正极性数据信号,第二数据线D2以及第四数据线D4输出负极性数据信号时,与第一数据线D1电连接的第一列像素单元和第二列像素单元接收到是数据信号均为正极性数据信号,与第二数据线D2电连接的第三列像素单元和第四列像素单元接收到是数据信号均为负极性数据信号,与第三数据线D3电连接的第五列像素单元和第六列像素单元接收到是数据信号均为正极性数据信号,……。这样,单从数据信号极性的角度看,相邻的四列像素电极构成一个周期,如第一列像素单元、第二列像素单元、第三列像素单元和第四列像素单元构成一个周期,第五列像素单元、第六列像素单元、第七列像素单元和第八列像素单元构成一个周期。相邻两个周期中顺序地位相同极性相同的像素单元的跨度很大。如图1a中,第一个周期的第一列像素单元(即图1a中第一列像素单元)与第二个周期的第一列像素单元(即图1a中第五列像素单元)在各自周期内的顺序地位相同,都是各自周期内的第一列像素单元,驱动时接收到数据信号的极性相同。这两列像素单元之间相隔三列像素单元,跨度很大。这样同样会降低到显示面板的画面质量。In addition, it can also be seen from Figure 1a that during driving, when the first data line D1, the third data line D3, and the fifth data line D5 output positive polarity data signals, the second data line D2 and the fourth data line D4 output When the negative polarity data signal is received, the pixel units in the first column and the pixel unit in the second column electrically connected to the first data line D1 receive the data signals are positive data signals, and the third column electrically connected to the second data line D2 The data signals received by the pixel unit and the pixel unit in the fourth column are both negative polarity data signals, and the data signals received by the pixel units in the fifth column and the sixth column electrically connected to the third data line D3 are all positive polarity data. Signal,……. In this way, from the perspective of the polarity of the data signal, the adjacent four columns of pixel electrodes form a period, such as the first column of pixel units, the second column of pixel units, the third column of pixel units and the fourth column of pixel units form a period , the pixel units in the fifth column, the pixel units in the sixth column, the pixel units in the seventh column and the pixel units in the eighth column constitute a cycle. The pixel units with the same sequential status and the same polarity in two adjacent periods have a large span. As shown in Figure 1a, the first column of pixel units in the first period (ie, the first column of pixel units in Figure 1a) and the first column of pixel units in the second period (ie, the fifth column of pixel units in Figure 1a) are respectively The sequential positions in the periods are the same, they are the first row of pixel units in their respective periods, and the polarities of the data signals received during driving are the same. There are three columns of pixel units between these two columns of pixel units, and the span is very large. This will also reduce the picture quality of the display panel.

图2a为本发明实施例提供的一个阵列基板的结构示意图。下面结合图2a对本发明实施例进行详细说明。参见图2a,该阵列基板示例性地包括:十条沿第一方向(图中X轴方向)延伸的扫描线,分别为第一扫描线G1、第二扫描线G2、第三扫描线G3、第四扫描线G4、第五扫描线G5、第六扫描线G6、第七扫描线G7、第八扫描线G8、第九扫描线G9以及第十扫描线G10;十二条沿第二方向(图中Y轴方向)延伸的数据线,分别为第一数据线D1、第二数据线D2、第三数据线D3、第四数据线D4、第五数据线D5、第六数据线D6、第七数据线D7、第八数据线D8、第九数据线D9、第十数据线D10、第十一数据线D11以及第十二数据线D12。Fig. 2a is a schematic structural diagram of an array substrate provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 2a. Referring to FIG. 2a, the array substrate exemplarily includes: ten scanning lines extending along the first direction (the X-axis direction in the figure), which are respectively the first scanning line G1, the second scanning line G2, the third scanning line G3, the Four scanning lines G4, fifth scanning line G5, sixth scanning line G6, seventh scanning line G7, eighth scanning line G8, ninth scanning line G9 and tenth scanning line G10; twelve along the second direction (Fig. The data lines extending in the Y axis direction) are respectively the first data line D1, the second data line D2, the third data line D3, the fourth data line D4, the fifth data line D5, the sixth data line D6, the seventh data line The data line D7, the eighth data line D8, the ninth data line D9, the tenth data line D10, the eleventh data line D11 and the twelfth data line D12.

这些扫描线与数据线相互交叉定义出多个像素单元(包括多个发光颜色为红色的第一像素单元R,多个发光颜色为绿色的第二像素单元G以及多个发光颜色为蓝色的第三像素单元B),这些像素单元排序形成5行12列的矩阵结构。These scan lines and data lines intersect each other to define a plurality of pixel units (including a plurality of first pixel units R whose luminous color is red, a plurality of second pixel units G whose luminous color is green, and a plurality of luminous colors that are blue. The third pixel unit B), these pixel units are sorted to form a matrix structure with 5 rows and 12 columns.

相邻两行像素单元之间设置有两条扫描线,即由上往下算起第一行像素单元和第二行像素单元之间设置有两条扫描线,分别为第二扫描线G2和第三扫描线G3;第二行像素单元和第三行像素单元之间设置有两条扫描线,分别为第四扫描线G4和第五扫描线G5;……;第四行像素单元和第五行像素单元之间设置有两条扫描线,分别为第八扫描线G8和第九扫描线G9。此外,在第一行像素单元背离第二行像素单元的一侧设置有一条扫描线,为第一扫描线G1,在第五行像素单元背离第四行像素单元的一侧设置有一条扫描线,为第十扫描线G10。Two scanning lines are arranged between two adjacent rows of pixel units, that is, two scanning lines are arranged between the first row of pixel units and the second row of pixel units from top to bottom, which are respectively the second scanning line G2 and the second row of pixel units. The third scanning line G3; two scanning lines are arranged between the second row of pixel units and the third row of pixel units, which are respectively the fourth scanning line G4 and the fifth scanning line G5; ...; the fourth row of pixel units and the third row of pixel units Two scan lines are arranged between the five rows of pixel units, namely the eighth scan line G8 and the ninth scan line G9 . In addition, a scanning line is provided on the side of the pixel units in the first row away from the pixel units in the second row, which is the first scanning line G1, and a scanning line is provided on the side of the pixel units in the fifth row away from the pixel units in the fourth row, It is the tenth scanning line G10.

相邻两列像素单元之间设置有一条数据线,即由左往右算起第一列像素单元与第二列像素单元之间设置有一条数据线,为第一数据线D1;第二列像素单元与第三列像素单元之间设置有一条数据线,为第二数据线D2;……;第十一列像素单元与第十二列像素单元之间设置有一条数据线,为第十一数据线D11;第十二列像素单元背离第十一列像素单元的一侧设置有一条数据线,为第十二数据线D12。A data line is set between two adjacent columns of pixel units, that is, a data line is set between the first column of pixel units and the second column of pixel units from left to right, which is the first data line D1; the second column A data line is set between the pixel unit and the pixel unit in the third column, which is the second data line D2; ...; a data line is set between the pixel unit in the eleventh column and the pixel unit in the twelfth column, which is the tenth A data line D11; a data line is provided on the side of the pixel unit in the twelfth column away from the pixel unit in the eleventh column, which is the twelfth data line D12.

同一列像素单元内各像素单元具有相同的发光颜色,即第一列像素单元均为第一像素单元R,其发光颜色均为红色;第二列像素单元均为第二像素单元G,其发光颜色均为绿色,第三列像素单元均为第三像素单元B,其发光颜色均为蓝色,第四列像素单元均为第一像素单元R,其发光颜色均为红色,……,第十二列像素单元均为第三像素单元B,其发光颜色均为蓝色。Each pixel unit in the same column of pixel units has the same luminous color, that is, the first column of pixel units is the first pixel unit R, and its luminous color is red; the second column of pixel units is the second pixel unit G, and its luminous color is red. The colors are all green, the pixel units in the third column are all the third pixel unit B, and their luminous colors are all blue, the pixel units in the fourth column are all the first pixel units R, and their luminous colors are all red, ..., No. The pixel units in the twelve columns are all the third pixel unit B, and the light emitting colors thereof are all blue.

同一行像素单元内相邻两个像素单元具有不同的发光颜色,即,以第一行像素单元为例,从左到右,第一个像素单元为第一像素单元R,其发光颜色为红色;第二个像素单元为第二像素单元G,其发光颜色为绿色;第三个像素单元为第三像素单元B,其发光颜色为蓝色,第四个像素单元为第一像素单元R,其发光颜色为红色,……,第十二个像素单元为第三像素单元B,其发光颜色为蓝色。并且,在每一行像素单元中,从左到右,各像素单元发光颜色的顺序一样。Two adjacent pixel units in the same row of pixel units have different luminous colors, that is, taking the first row of pixel units as an example, from left to right, the first pixel unit is the first pixel unit R, and its luminous color is red ; The second pixel unit is the second pixel unit G, its luminous color is green; the third pixel unit is the third pixel unit B, its luminous color is blue, and the fourth pixel unit is the first pixel unit R, Its luminous color is red, ..., the twelfth pixel unit is the third pixel unit B, and its luminous color is blue. Moreover, in each row of pixel units, from left to right, the order of the light emitting colors of each pixel unit is the same.

每一列像素单元与相邻的同一条数据线电连接,具体是指,每一列像素单元中各像素单元和与其相邻的位于其左侧或右侧的同一条数据线电连接。由于图2a中,第一列像素单元的左侧并未设置数据线,示例性地,设置第一列像素单元与位于其右侧的第一数据线D1电连接,第二列像素单元与位于其右侧的第二数据线D2电连接,……,第十二列像素单元与位于其右侧的第十二数据线D12电连接。这样使得同一条数据线仅与一列像素单元电连接。Each column of pixel units is electrically connected to the same adjacent data line, specifically, each pixel unit in each column of pixel units is electrically connected to the same adjacent data line on the left or right side thereof. Since in FIG. 2a, the left side of the pixel unit in the first row is not provided with a data line, for example, the pixel unit in the first row is set to be electrically connected to the first data line D1 on the right side, and the pixel unit in the second row is connected to the first data line D1 on the right side. The second data line D2 on the right side thereof is electrically connected to, . In this way, the same data line is only electrically connected to one column of pixel units.

由于第一列像素单元和第七列像素单元的发光颜色都为红色,并且在驱动时,在同一帧的工作时间内,与第一列像素单元电连接的第一数据线D1和与第七列像素单元电连接的第七数据线D7需要输出相同极性的数据信号,因此可将第一数据线D1和第七数据线D7电连接。由于第二列像素单元和第八列像素单元的发光颜色都为绿色,并且在驱动时,在同一帧的工作时间内与第二列像素单元电连接的第二数据线D2和第与八列像素单元电连接的第八数据线D8需要输出相同极性的数据信号,因此可将第二数据线D2和第八数据线D8电连接。……,由于第六列像素单元和第十二列像素单元的发光颜色都为蓝色,并且在驱动时,在同一帧的工作时间内与第六列像素单元电连接的第六数据线D6和与第十二列像素单元电连接的第十二数据线D12需要输出相同极性的数据信号,因此可将第六数据线D6和第十二数据线D12电连接。即电连接的两条数据线彼此间隔五条数据线。例如,彼此电连接的第一数据线D1和第七数据线D7之间间隔五条数据线,分别为第二数据线D2、第三数据线D3、第四数据线D4、第五数据线D5以及第六数据线D6。彼此电连接的第二数据线D2和第八数据线D8之间间隔五条数据线。……,第六数据线D6和与第十二数据线D12之间间隔五条数据线。Since the luminescent colors of the pixel units in the first column and the pixel units in the seventh column are both red, and during driving, within the working time of the same frame, the first data line D1 electrically connected to the pixel units in the first column and the pixel unit in the seventh The seventh data line D7 electrically connected to the column pixel units needs to output data signals of the same polarity, so the first data line D1 and the seventh data line D7 can be electrically connected. Since the luminous colors of the pixel units in the second column and the pixel units in the eighth column are both green, and when driving, the second data line D2 electrically connected to the pixel units in the second column and the pixel units in the eighth column and the The eighth data line D8 electrically connected to the pixel units needs to output data signals of the same polarity, so the second data line D2 and the eighth data line D8 can be electrically connected. ..., since the luminous colors of the pixel units in the sixth column and the pixel units in the twelfth column are both blue, and when driving, the sixth data line D6 electrically connected to the pixel units in the sixth column within the working time of the same frame The twelfth data line D12 electrically connected to the pixel unit in the twelfth column needs to output data signals of the same polarity, so the sixth data line D6 and the twelfth data line D12 can be electrically connected. That is, two data lines that are electrically connected are separated from each other by five data lines. For example, five data lines are separated between the first data line D1 and the seventh data line D7 electrically connected to each other, which are respectively the second data line D2, the third data line D3, the fourth data line D4, the fifth data line D5 and The sixth data line D6. Five data lines are separated between the second data line D2 and the eighth data line D8 electrically connected to each other. ..., five data lines are separated between the sixth data line D6 and the twelfth data line D12.

需要说明的是,由于受到数据线条数所限,图2a中仅将与具有相同发光颜色的两列像素单元电连接、且驱动时在同一帧内输出相同极性信号的两条相邻的数据线电连接。这仅是本发明的一个具体示例,而非对本发明的限制。在具体设计时,可以将与具有相同发光颜色的两列或多列像素单元一一对应电连接、且驱动时在同一帧内输出相同极性信号的两列或多列相邻或不相邻的数据线电连接。It should be noted that due to the limitation of the number of data lines, in Figure 2a, only two adjacent data lines that are electrically connected to two columns of pixel units with the same luminous color and output signals of the same polarity in the same frame during driving Wire connection. This is only a specific example of the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. In specific design, it is possible to connect two or more columns of pixel units with the same luminescent color in one-to-one correspondence, and two or more columns that output signals of the same polarity in the same frame when driven are adjacent or non-adjacent The data line is electrically connected.

在使用时,示例性地,在某一帧的工作时间内,当第一数据线D1、第三数据线D3、第五数据线D5、第七数据线D7、第九数据线D9以及第十一数据线D11需要输出正极性的数据信号时,由于第七数据线D7与第一数据线D1电连接,第九数据线D9与第三数据线D3电连接,第十一数据线D11与第五数据线D5电连接,仅需向第一数据线D1、第三数据线D3以及第五数据线D5传输正极性的数据信号即可。同理,当第二数据线D2、第四数据线D4、第六数据线D6、第八数据线D8、第十数据线D10以及第十二数据线D12需要输出负极性的数据信号时,仅需向第二数据线D2、第四数据线D4以及第六数据线D6传输负极性的数据信号即可。这样即可达到相邻的两条数据线输入极性相反的数据信号的目的。In use, for example, within the working time of a certain frame, when the first data line D1, the third data line D3, the fifth data line D5, the seventh data line D7, the ninth data line D9 and the tenth data line When a data line D11 needs to output a positive data signal, since the seventh data line D7 is electrically connected to the first data line D1, the ninth data line D9 is electrically connected to the third data line D3, and the eleventh data line D11 is electrically connected to the first data line D3. The five data lines D5 are electrically connected, and only need to transmit positive polarity data signals to the first data line D1 , the third data line D3 and the fifth data line D5 . Similarly, when the second data line D2, the fourth data line D4, the sixth data line D6, the eighth data line D8, the tenth data line D10 and the twelfth data line D12 need to output negative polarity data signals, only It is only necessary to transmit negative polarity data signals to the second data line D2 , the fourth data line D4 and the sixth data line D6 . In this way, the purpose of inputting data signals with opposite polarities to two adjacent data lines can be achieved.

每一行像素单元内相邻两个像素单元分别与相邻的不同扫描线电连接,具体是指,每一行像素单元中第奇数个像素单元与其上方的扫描线电连接,每一行像素单元中第偶数个像素单元与其下方的扫描线电连接;或每一行像素单元中第奇数个像素单元与其下方的扫描线电连接,每一行像素单元中第偶数个像素单元与其上方的扫描线电连接。Two adjacent pixel units in each row of pixel units are electrically connected to different adjacent scanning lines, specifically, the odd-numbered pixel unit in each row of pixel units is electrically connected to the scanning line above it, and the odd-numbered pixel unit in each row of pixel units is electrically connected to the scanning line above it. The even-numbered pixel units are electrically connected to the scanning lines below them; or the odd-numbered pixel units in each row of pixel units are electrically connected to the scanning lines below them, and the even-numbered pixel units in each row of pixel units are electrically connected to the scanning lines above them.

图2a中,示例性地,将每一行像素单元中第奇数个像素单元与其下方的扫描线电连接,每一行像素单元中第偶数个像素单元与其上方的扫描线电连接。参见图2a,以第一行像素单元为例进行说明,在该行像素单元中,左起第一个像素单元与位于其下方的第二扫描线G2电连接,第二个像素单元与位于其上方的第一扫描线G1电连接,第三个像素单元与位于其下方的第二扫描线G2电连接,第四个像素单元与位于其上方的第一扫描线G1电连接,……,第十一个像素单元与位于其下方的第二扫描线G2电连接,第十二个像素单元与位于其上方的第一扫描线G1电连接。In FIG. 2 a , for example, the odd-numbered pixel units in each row of pixel units are electrically connected to the scan line below it, and the even-numbered pixel units in each row of pixel units are electrically connected to the scan line above it. Referring to Fig. 2a, the first row of pixel units is taken as an example for illustration. In this row of pixel units, the first pixel unit from the left is electrically connected to the second scanning line G2 located below it, and the second pixel unit is electrically connected to the second scanning line G2 located below it. The upper first scanning line G1 is electrically connected, the third pixel unit is electrically connected to the second scanning line G2 located below it, the fourth pixel unit is electrically connected to the first scanning line G1 located above it, ..., the first The eleventh pixel unit is electrically connected to the second scanning line G2 located below it, and the twelfth pixel unit is electrically connected to the first scanning line G1 located above it.

图2b为分别包含图1a和图2a中提供的阵列基板的显示面板显示红色时,第一数据线D1上所传输的数据信号的波形对比图。参见图2a和图2b,当包含图2a中提供的阵列基板的显示面板需要显示红色时,在一帧的工作时间内,从上向下,依次向各扫描线输入扫描信号,以控制与之电连接的各像素单元的开关单元开启或关闭。在这个过程中,始终向第一数据线D1输入恒定电压数据信号。FIG. 2b is a comparison diagram of waveforms of data signals transmitted on the first data line D1 when the display panels respectively including the array substrates provided in FIG. 1a and FIG. 2a display red. Referring to Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b, when the display panel including the array substrate provided in Fig. 2a needs to display red, within the working time of one frame, input scanning signals to each scanning line sequentially from top to bottom, so as to control The switch units of the electrically connected pixel units are turned on or off. During this process, a constant voltage data signal is always input to the first data line D1.

具体地,在图2a中,示例性地共包括10条扫描线,每一条扫描线用于传输扫描信号的时间为1/10帧。在第一个1/10帧的工作时间内,第一扫描线G1传输扫描信号,但由于与第一数据线D1电连接的像素单元均未与该第一扫描线G1电连接,第一数据线D1传输恒定电压数据信号对该显示面板的发光颜色没有影响。在第二个1/10帧的工作时间内,第二扫描线G2传输扫描信号,第一列像素单元中由上往下算起第一个像素单元与该第二扫描线G2电连接,该像素单元处于开启状态,并接受第一数据线D1上传输的恒定电压数据信号,发出红光。在第三个1/10帧的工作时间内,第三扫描线G3传输扫描信号,但由于与第一数据线D1电连接的像素单元均未与该第三扫描线G3电连接,该第一数据线D1传输恒定电压数据信号对该显示面板的发光颜色没有影响。……,在第十个1/10帧的工作时间内,第十扫描线G10传输扫描信号,第一列像素单元中由上往下算起第五个像素单元与该第十扫描线G10电连接,该像素单元处于开启状态,并接受第一数据线D1上传输的恒定电压数据信号,发出红光。Specifically, in FIG. 2 a , exemplarily, 10 scan lines are included in total, and the time for each scan line to transmit a scan signal is 1/10 frame. During the working time of the first 1/10 frame, the first scanning line G1 transmits scanning signals, but since none of the pixel units electrically connected to the first data line D1 is electrically connected to the first scanning line G1, the first data Line D1 transmits a constant voltage data signal which has no effect on the luminous color of the display panel. During the working time of the second 1/10 frame, the second scanning line G2 transmits scanning signals, and the first pixel unit counting from top to bottom in the first row of pixel units is electrically connected to the second scanning line G2, and the second scanning line G2 is electrically connected to the second scanning line G2. The pixel unit is in an on state, and receives a constant voltage data signal transmitted on the first data line D1, and emits red light. During the working time of the third 1/10 frame, the third scanning line G3 transmits scanning signals, but since none of the pixel units electrically connected to the first data line D1 is electrically connected to the third scanning line G3, the first The constant voltage data signal transmitted by the data line D1 has no effect on the luminous color of the display panel. ..., in the working time of the tenth 1/10 frame, the tenth scanning line G10 transmits scanning signals, and the fifth pixel unit counting from top to bottom in the first column of pixel units is electrically connected to the tenth scanning line G10 connected, the pixel unit is in the on state, and receives the constant voltage data signal transmitted on the first data line D1, and emits red light.

由此可见,当需要利于包含图2a中阵列基板的显示面板显示纯度较高的单色(如红色、绿色或蓝色)时,在一帧的工作时间内,只需要向与发光颜色与待显示颜色相同的像素单元电连接的数据线输入恒定电压数据信号,并不需要连续改变该数据线上传输的数据信号数次,就可以达到控制发光颜色与待显示颜色相同的像素单元正常发光,发光颜色与待显示颜色不同的像素单元不发光的目的。这个过程中,由于数据线的数据信号恒定不变,各像素单元内像素电极与公共电极充电或放电时间很长,这样有利于各像素单元在预期的工作电压下工作,进而使得显示面板在显示单色画面时,具有良好的显示效果。It can be seen that, when the display panel including the array substrate in FIG. The data lines electrically connected to the pixel units displaying the same color input a constant voltage data signal. It is not necessary to continuously change the data signal transmitted on the data line several times to control the normal light emission of the pixel units with the same color as the color to be displayed. The purpose of not emitting light is that the pixel units whose luminous color is different from the color to be displayed do not emit light. In this process, since the data signal of the data line is constant, the charging or discharging time between the pixel electrode and the common electrode in each pixel unit is very long, which is conducive to the operation of each pixel unit at the expected operating voltage, and then makes the display panel in the display When the monochrome screen is used, it has a good display effect.

另外,在图2a中,由于在驱动时,第一数据线D1、第三数据线D3、……、第十一数据线D11输出的数据信号的极性与第二数据线D2、第四数据线D4、……、以及第十二数据线D12输出数据信号的极性相反,单从数据信号极性的角度看,相邻的两列像素电极构成一个周期,如第一列像素单元和第二列像素单元构成一个周期。第三列像素单元和第四列像素单元构成一个周期。……,第十一列像素单元和第十二列像素单元构成一个周期。第一个周期的第一列像素单元(即图2a中第一列像素单元)与第二个周期的第一列像素单元(即图2a中第三列像素单元)在各自周期内的地位相同,都是各自周期内的第一列像素单元,驱动时接收到数据信号的极性相同。这两列像素单元之间仅相隔一列像素单元,跨度很小。这样有利于进一步提高显示面板的画面质量。In addition, in Fig. 2a, since the polarities of the data signals output by the first data line D1, the third data line D3, ..., the eleventh data line D11 are different from the polarities of the second data line D2, the fourth data line D2 and the fourth data line during driving. The polarities of the data signals output by the lines D4, ..., and the twelfth data line D12 are opposite. From the perspective of the polarity of the data signals alone, two adjacent columns of pixel electrodes form a period, such as the first column of pixel units and the second column of pixel electrodes. Two columns of pixel units form a period. The pixel units in the third column and the pixel units in the fourth column form a cycle. ..., the pixel units in the eleventh column and the pixel units in the twelfth column form a cycle. The first column of pixel units in the first period (ie, the first column of pixel units in Figure 2a) and the first column of pixel units in the second period (ie, the third column of pixel units in Figure 2a) have the same status in their respective periods , are the first row of pixel units in their respective periods, and the polarities of the data signals received during driving are the same. There is only one column of pixel units between the two columns of pixel units, and the span is very small. This is beneficial to further improving the picture quality of the display panel.

在图2a中,像素单元的发光颜色包括红色、绿色和蓝色,每一行像素单元中紧邻的三个像素单元为一个像素单元组,像素单元组为一个最小重复单元;同一个像素单元组内各像素单元的发光颜色各不相同。这仅是本发明的一个具体示例,而非对本发明的限定。在此基础上,像素单元的发光颜色还可以包括白色或黄色。In Figure 2a, the luminescent colors of the pixel units include red, green and blue, and the three adjacent pixel units in each row of pixel units are a pixel unit group, and the pixel unit group is a minimum repeating unit; within the same pixel unit group Each pixel unit emits light in a different color. This is only a specific example of the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. On this basis, the light emitting color of the pixel unit may also include white or yellow.

图3为本发明实施例提供另一个阵列基板的结构示意图。与图2a相比,图3中阵列基板的发光颜色除包括红色、绿色以及蓝色还包括白色。参见图3,该阵列基板中,像素单元包括多个发光颜色为红色的第一像素单元R,多个发光颜色为绿色的第二像素单元G,多个发光颜色为蓝色的第三像素单元B以及多个发光颜色为白色的第四像素单元。每一行所述像素单元中紧邻的四个像素单元为一个像素单元组,该像素单元组为一个最小重复单元;同一个像素单元组内各像素单元的发光颜色各不相同。这样设置,有利于增加显示面板的亮度,达到节省功耗的效果。FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of another array substrate provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Compared with FIG. 2 a , the light emitting colors of the array substrate in FIG. 3 include not only red, green and blue but also white. Referring to FIG. 3 , in the array substrate, the pixel units include a plurality of first pixel units R whose emission color is red, a plurality of second pixel units G whose emission color is green, and a plurality of third pixel units whose emission color is blue B and a plurality of fourth pixel units whose luminous color is white. The four adjacent pixel units in each row of the pixel units are a pixel unit group, and the pixel unit group is a minimum repeating unit; the luminescent colors of the pixel units in the same pixel unit group are different. Such setting is beneficial to increase the brightness of the display panel and achieve the effect of saving power consumption.

进一步地,还可以将图3中的发光颜色为白色的第四像素单元替换为发光颜色为黄色的第五像素单元,并参与以上像素单元的排布。这样设置,同样有利于增加显示面板的亮度,达到节省功耗的效果。Further, the fourth pixel unit whose emission color is white in FIG. 3 can also be replaced by the fifth pixel unit whose emission color is yellow, and participate in the arrangement of the above pixel units. Such setting is also beneficial to increase the brightness of the display panel and achieve the effect of saving power consumption.
