The terminology used in the description of the embodiments of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments of the application only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

The array substrate 3 and the color film substrate 2 are arranged oppositely, and the liquid crystal layer 4 is positioned between the array substrate 3 and the color film substrate 2.
The backlight source 1 is located at one side of the array substrate 3 away from the color film substrate 2, and is used for providing a backlight source for the liquid crystal display panel.
The array substrate 3 may include a common electrode layer and a pixel electrode layer, the common electrode layer may include a plurality of common electrodes arranged in an array, the pixel electrode layer may include a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in an array, the number of columns of the common electrodes and the pixel electrodes is the same, each column of the common electrodes corresponds to one column of the pixel electrodes, and each column of the common electrodes corresponds to a different column of the pixel electrodes.
Fig. 2 is a schematic arrangement diagram of common electrodes and pixel electrodes in a column direction, as shown in fig. 2, where each column of pixel electrodes and the corresponding column of common electrodes are arranged in a staggered manner, a projection area of each pixel electrode on a substrate of the array substrate 3 and a projection area of two corresponding adjacent common electrodes (a first common electrode and a second common electrode) on the substrate are partially overlapped in the column direction, each overlapped area corresponds to one pixel unit of the array substrate 3, and the pixel units corresponding to each overlapped area are different. In this way, one pixel electrode and two corresponding adjacent common electrodes can form horizontal electric fields respectively in the column direction, if different voltages are output to the two adjacent common electrodes, different gray scales can be displayed in display areas (namely, a first pixel unit and a second pixel unit) corresponding to the two horizontal electric fields respectively, so that two different gray scales can be displayed in the column direction in the display area corresponding to one pixel electrode.
The projection of the center line between the boundaries of the adjacent common electrodes onto the substrate of the array substrate 3 may overlap with the projection of the center line of the corresponding pixel electrode in the row direction onto the substrate. The lengths of the two horizontal electric fields corresponding to the pixel electrode in the column direction are equal, namely the areas of the pixel electrode corresponding to the first display area and the second display area are equal, so that the display effect of the liquid crystal display device is improved.
Each column of the common electrode and the pixel electrode of the corresponding column may share one data line, and each pixel electrode may share one combination switch with the corresponding one of the common electrodes. The combination switch may include a thin film transistor (a thin film transistor corresponding to the pixel electrode, not a newly added thin film transistor) and a signal selection unit for controlling the data line to transmit the data signal to the common electrode or the pixel electrode when the thin film transistor is turned on. Thus, the data lines and the thin film transistors of the pixel electrodes corresponding to the common electrodes can be multiplexed, and the influence on the aperture ratio of the liquid crystal display device can be reduced without adding the data lines and the thin film transistors to the common electrodes.

It will be appreciated that the third diode P3 is turned off when the potential of the data signal is higher than the potential at the common electrode, and the data signal does not charge the common electrode.
If the potential of the Data signal transmitted by the Data line Data is lower than the potential at the common electrode, the third diode P3 is turned on, the Data signal charges to the common electrode, and most of the current flows to the common electrode during charging due to the fourth diode P4, at this time, the potential of the second reset signal line is low, and the fourth diode P4 is turned off, so as to reduce the influence of the second reset signal line on the potential at the common electrode. It will be appreciated that the first diode P1 is turned off when the potential of the data signal is lower than the potential at the pixel electrode, and the data signal does not charge the pixel electrode.
The first reset signal line is used for resetting the potential of the pixel electrode, the second reset signal line is used for resetting the potential of the common electrode, and the first reset signal line can be electrically connected with the first peripheral reset signal line through a first switching tube T2; the first reset signal line may be electrically connected to the second peripheral reset signal line through the second switching transistor T3.

The array substrate 3 may include a plurality of gate lines extending in a row direction and a plurality of data lines extending in a column direction.

In the column direction, the projection of the center line between the boundaries of the adjacent common electrodes on the substrate of the array substrate 3 may be located in the projection area of the corresponding gate lines and reset signal lines of the array substrate 3 on the substrate, that is, the gate lines and the reset signal lines are located in the interval area of the adjacent common electrodes in the column direction, and since the interval area of the adjacent common electrodes does not emit light (is blocked by the corresponding light shielding unit), the gate lines and the reset signal lines will not block light, and the loss of the aperture ratio of the liquid crystal display device caused by the gate lines and the reset signal lines is reduced.

When scanning to the nth row, the gate line G n may be a high-level signal, the corresponding TFTs of the pixel electrode PXL n and the common electrode COM n are turned on, at this time, a corresponding voltage difference may be determined according to the pre-display gray level of the pixel unit P 2n-1, then the voltage of the pixel electrode PXL n is determined according to the voltage difference and the voltage of the common electrode COM n, and then a corresponding data signal is output to the pixel electrode PXL n through the data line, at this time, the liquid crystal between the overlapping areas of the common electrode COM n-1 and the pixel electrode PXL n is turned over, and the pixel unit P 2n-1 displays the corresponding gray level.
Then, a corresponding voltage difference can be determined according to the pre-display gray level of the pixel unit P 2n, then, a voltage of the common electrode COM n is determined according to the voltage difference and the voltage of the pixel electrode PXL n, and then, a corresponding data signal is output to the common electrode COM n through the data line, at this time, the liquid crystal between the overlapping areas of the pixel electrode PXL n and the common electrode COM n is turned over, and the pixel unit P 2n displays the corresponding gray level.
And so on, the liquid crystal display panel is lighted row by row.
In addition, since the degree of inversion of the liquid crystal is related to the absolute value of the voltage difference and is independent of the direction, when the voltage of the corresponding pixel electrode is determined from the voltage of the common electrode and the voltage difference, the sum of the voltage difference and the voltage of the common electrode can be determined as the voltage of the pixel electrode; when the voltage of the corresponding common electrode is determined according to the voltage of the pixel electrode and the voltage difference, the difference between the voltage of the pixel electrode and the voltage difference may be determined as the voltage of the common electrode. This maintains the voltages of the pixel electrodes and the common electrode of each row of the display device not too high.
When scanned in the above manner, the potential of each row of common electrodes is always smaller than the potential of the pixel electrode. Fig. 9 is a timing chart of the reset signal and the gate driving signal when scanning in the above manner, and as shown in fig. 9, the signal of the reset signal 1 outputted from the first reset signal line when it is in the trough is the lowest potential signal of the common electrode of the previous line when it is combined with the signal of the common electrode of the previous line, and the duration of the combined signal may be 1/2H (the specific time of H may be adjusted according to the refresh rate and resolution of the display device). The reset signal 1 is the highest potential signal input to the pixel electrode corresponding to the current row at other time.
The signal of the reset signal 2 outputted by the second reset signal line at the peak is the highest potential signal of the pixel electrode of the current row, and the duration of the composite signal can be 1/2H. The signal of the reset signal 2 at other time is the lowest potential signal of the pixel electrode corresponding to the present row.
The first reset signal line and the second reset signal line may input signals when the current-row gate driving signal is turned on, and may hold signals when the current-row gate driving signal is not turned on.
The data line signal may charge a high potential signal to the pixel electrode at the first 1/2H of each H and a low potential signal to the common electrode at the second half frame of the second 1/2H.

In the above technical solution, since each column of pixel electrodes and the common electrode of the corresponding column are arranged in a staggered manner in the column direction, so that one pixel electrode can respectively form a horizontal electric field with the corresponding two adjacent common electrodes in the column direction, if different voltages are output to the two adjacent common electrodes, the display areas corresponding to the two horizontal electric fields can display different gray scales, that is, the display area corresponding to one pixel electrode can display two different gray scales in the column direction, compared with the display area corresponding to one pixel electrode at present, only one gray scale can be displayed in the column direction, and the solution can improve the resolution by one time in the column direction of the liquid crystal display device; in addition, each column of common electrode and each corresponding column of pixel electrode share one data line, and each pixel electrode and each corresponding common electrode share one combined switch, so that new data lines and thin film transistors are not needed to be added, and the influence on the aperture ratio of the liquid crystal display device can be reduced.
