Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0001]    The invention relates to a liquid crystal display, and in particular, to an array substrate of a liquid crystal display. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0002]    Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are widely utilized in modern information devices such as notebook computers, cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and the like, since they are advantageous in being light, thin and having low power consumption. 
         [0003]      FIG. 1  shows a schematic diagram of a pixel structure in a conventional liquid crystal display (LCD). For clarity, only the structure at an array substrate side is illustrated, whereas the configuration at a liquid crystal layer and a color filter side is omitted. A reference number  11  represents a scanning line, and a reference number  12  represents a data line. A number of scanning lines are arranged across a number of data lines to define a number of pixel regions, and Thin Film Transistors (TFTs) are disposed nearby the corresponding crossing points of the scanning lines and the data lines. Each of the TFTs consists of a source electrode  121 , a drain electrode  14  and a gate electrode, wherein the source electrode  121  is electrically connected to the data line  12 , the drain electrode  14  is electrically connected to a pixel electrode  16  via a through-hole  15  and the gate electrode is electrically connected to the scanning line  11  (as shown in  FIG. 1 , the gate electrode is actually a part of the scanning line). A reference number  13  represents a storage capacitor electrode line, which functions to form a storage capacitor together with the pixel electrode  16  so as to hold the voltage applied to the pixel electrode. A reference number  131  represents an extending part of the storage capacitor electrode line extending along the direction of the data line within the pixel region, which can increase the storage capacitor capacitance and meanwhile shield the mutual influence of the electric fields between the pixel electrodes and the data lines. 
         [0004]    In the operation of the LCD, a data signal is transmitted from the data line  12  to the pixel electrode  16  under the control of the ON/OFF status of the TFT, and the voltage on the pixel electrode  16  is held by the storage capacitor. As shown in  FIG. 1 , two pixel electrodes  16  and  16 ′ arranged along the direction of the data line are separated by the scanning line  11 . In general, voltages applied to adjacent pixel electrodes are different, and thereby the electric field effect occurs between the adjacent pixel electrodes. 
         [0005]      FIG. 2  is a cross sectional view of  FIG. 1  taken along the I-I direction. Also for clarity, only the arrangements at the color filter side and the array substrate side are illustrated, whereas the arrangement at the liquid crystal layer side is omitted. A reference number  101  indicates a lower glass substrate. The scanning line  11  is disposed on the lower glass substrate, a gate insulation film  102  and a passivation layer  103  are in turn disposed on the scanning line, the pixel electrode  16  is disposed on the passivation layer  103  (please note that there is no pixel electrode right above the scanning line) and a first alignment film  104  is disposed above the passivation layer  103  and the pixel electrode  16 . Below an upper glass substrate  108  opposite to the lower glass substrate, there are disposed a plurality of color filter sections  107  and light shield sections  109 , Below the color filter sections  107  and light shied sections  109 , a common transparent electrode  106  and a second alignment film  105  are disposed in turn. In general, when the LCD operates, an inductive charge  17  is generated on the first alignment film  104  right above the scanning line. The inductive charge mainly comprises two parts, i.e. the charge generated due to the electric field effect between the adjacent pixel electrodes  16  and  16 ′, and the charge caused by the voltage difference between the scanning line  11  and the common transparent electrode  106 . Please note that the inductive charge shown as a positive charge is only an example of the inductive charge, actually the inductive charge  17  may also be a negative charge and the polarity of the inductive charge depends on the direction of the electric field causing the inductive charge. In addition, the cases in other figures of the invention are the same as that in  FIG. 2 , wherein the inductive charge is shown as a positive charge only for purpose of illustration and the inductive charge may also be a negative charge. 
         [0006]    Normally, the inductive charge has little influence on the display quality. However, when the pixel electrode maintains the status as shown in  FIG. 3A  for a long time due to a certain display requirement, the quality of sequent display frames may suffer influence from the inductive charge. Specifically, in  FIG. 3A , the pixel above the scanning line  11  is displayed with a high gray scale and the voltage on the pixel electrode  16 ′ is a low voltage, while the pixel below the scanning line  11  is displayed with a low gray scale and the voltage on the pixel electrode  16  is a high voltage. Therefore, the inductive charge  17  caused by the electric field effect existing between the pixel electrodes  16  and  16 ′ is distributed above the scanning line  11  between the pixel electrodes  16  and  16 ′. Because the voltage on pixel electrode  16  is higher than that on pixel electrode  16 ′, the amount of the inductive charge close to the pixel electrode  16  is larger than that of the inductive charge close to the pixel electrode  16 ′. Further, an arrow  19  schematically represents a frictional direction of the alignment film. After being aligned by friction, liquid crystal molecules are arranged in accordance with a predetermined direction and pre-tilted angles are formed between the liquid crystal molecules and a surface of the alignment film. 
         [0007]      FIG. 3B  is a cross sectional view of  FIG. 3A  taken along the I-I direction. Also for clarity, only the arrangements at the color filter side and the array substrate side, and one layer of liquid crystal molecules  18  influenced by the inductive charge  17  are illustrated. The scanning line  11  is disposed on the lower glass substrate  101 , the gate insulation film  102  and the passivation layer  103  are in turn disposed on the scanning line, the pixel electrodes  16  and  16 ′ are disposed on the passivation layer  103  and a first alignment film  104  is disposed above pixel electrodes  16  and  16 ′ and the passivation layer  103 . Below the upper glass substrate  108  opposite to the lower glass substrate  101 , there are disposed a plurality of color filter sections  107  and light shield sections  109 , and a common transparent electrode  106  and a second alignment film  105  disposed in turn beneath. 
         [0008]    As described above, an inductive charge is generated above the scanning line  11  between the adjacent pixel electrodes  16  and  16 ′ due to the electric field effect existing between the adjacent pixel electrodes  16  and  16 ′. Additionally, when the liquid crystal display is in operation, the voltage on the scanning line  11  often ranges from −6V to −10V, while the voltage on the common transparent electrode  106  is about +4.5 V. Then there is a large voltage difference between the scanning line  11  and the common transparent electrode  106 , the largest voltage difference being even close to 14.5V, thus a large electric field is formed therebetween and a large inductive charge is generated. So the inductive charge  17  is distributed on the first alignment film  104  right above the scanning line, and as described above, the amount of the inductive charge close to the pixel electrode  16  is relatively larger. Additionally, after the process of aligning, the first alignment film  104  makes the liquid crystal molecules  18  arranged in a certain direction and pre-tilted angles are formed between the liquid crystal molecules  18  and the glass substrate. 
         [0009]    Please note that the presence of the inductive charge  17  causes an electric field to be formed between the inductive charge  17  and the pixel electrode so as to influence the arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules and change the pre-tilted angles of the liquid crystal molecules. As illustrated in  FIG. 3B , the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules will be influenced at any position having an inductive charge (please note that for simplification, only the influence of the inductive charge on the liquid crystal molecules close to the pixel electrode  16  is illustrated), while the inductive charge at the position close to the pixel electrode  16  are of the largest amount and thus producing the highest electric field. Under the action of the electric field, the pre-tilted angles of the liquid crystal molecules  18 ′ nearby the pixel electrode  16  are increased, which results in display defects such as light leaking. As illustrated in  FIG. 3C , when the display status of the pixel electrodes  16  and  16 ′ changes from the status as shown in  FIG. 3A  to the status of a medium gray scale, light leaking occurs at a partial region  31  of the pixel electrode  16  close to the scanning line and thus the display quality becomes deteriorated. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0010]    An array substrate of liquid crystal display having a novel pixel structure is provided in an embodiment of the invention so as to improve display quality that would have otherwise deteriorated due to the influence of the inductive charge. The array substrate of liquid crystal display comprises data lines; scanning lines, the scanning lines and the data lines being arranged across each other and defining a number of pixel regions, and a dielectric layer being disposed on the scanning lines; pixel electrodes placed in the pixel regions; storage capacitor electrode lines for forming storage capacitors together with the pixel electrodes, and a conductive section disposed on the dielectric layer above a part of a scanning lines that corresponds to a pixel region and in electrical communication with the storage capacitor electrode lines. 
         [0011]    In the above array substrate of liquid crystal display, if desired, the conductive section can be disposed on the dielectric layer above the part of the scanning lines that corresponds to all or most of the pixel regions and in electrical communication with the storage capacitor electrode lines. Also, the conductive section extends along the direction of scanning lines, and the size of the conductive section is fitted to the size of the part of the scanning lines that corresponds to one pixel region. 
         [0012]    According to an embodiment of the invention, due to the disposition of an electrical conduction section, the electric field effect between scanning lines and common transparent electrodes can be shielded. Meanwhile, since the conductive section is in electrical communication with the storage capacitor electrode lines receiving a common voltage, both the conductive section and the common transparent electrode have the same electric potential. Accordingly, the invention can significantly suppress the electric field effect, reduce the generated inductive charge, avoid the influence of the inductive charge on the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules, and thus markedly improve the display quality. 
         [0013]    Additionally, an improved structure is also provided in an embodiment of the invention to overcome the problems of image flicker and sticking that may arise after the disposition of the conductive section above scanning lines. That is, in the array substrate of liquid crystal display, an auxiliary conductive layer is formed above a plurality of scanning signal introducing lines used to connect with scanning lines and introduce scanning signals, in order to form an auxiliary capacitor with plurality of scanning signal introducing lines. The auxiliary capacitor causes most loads on the scanning lines to be carried by the scanning signal introducing lines, and thus suppresses the influence of the feed through effect on display frames thereby improving the display quality.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS 
       [0029]    Below, exemplary embodiments of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 
         [0030]      FIG. 4A  shows a schematic diagram of a pixel structure in a liquid crystal display according to an embodiment of the invention. For clarity, only the pixel structure at an array substrate side is illustrated, whereas the configuration at a liquid crystal layer and a color filter side is omitted. A reference number  41  represents a scanning line, and a reference number  42  represents a data line. A number of scanning lines are arranged across a number of data lines to define a number of pixel regions, and Thin Film Transistors (TFT) are disposed nearby the crossing points of the individual scanning lines and the data lines. Each of the TFTs comprises a source electrode  421 , a drain electrode  44  and a gate electrode. The source electrode  421  is electrically connected to the data line  42 , the drain electrode  44  is electrically connected to a pixel electrode  46  via a first through-hole  451 , and the gate electrode is electrically connected to the scanning line  41  (as shown in  FIG. 4A , the gate electrode is actually a part of the scanning line  41 ). A reference number  43  represents a storage capacitor electrode line, which functions to form a storage capacitor with the pixel electrode  46  so as to hold the voltage applied to the pixel electrode. A reference number  431  represents an extending part of the storage capacitor electrode line extending along the data line within the pixel region, which can increase the storage capacitor capacitance and meanwhile shield the influence of the electric field between the pixel electrode and the data line. 
         [0031]    In the pixel structure of the LCD of the embodiment of the invention, a conductive section  47  is provided above a part of the scanning line  41  that corresponds to a pixel region. The conductive section  47  extends along the direction of the scanning line and is electrically connected to the storage capacitor electrode line extending part  431  via a second through-hole  452 . Thus, electric signals on the storage capacitor electrode line  43  can be transmitted to the conductive section  47  via the second through-hole  452 . In the embodiment of the invention, the conductive section  47  is preferably a thin conductive layer formed by Indium Tin Oxide (ITO). However, the conductive section  47  is not limited to the structure of the thin conductive layer, but can be of other structures and formed by other conductive materials. Additionally, as illustrated in  FIG. 4A , the storage capacitor electrode line extending part  431  corresponding to one pixel electrode  46  can be connected to the conductive sections  47  above the upper and lower scanning lines  41  respectively via two second through-holes  452 . In order to be connected to the storage capacitor electrode line extending part, the conductive sections  47  have a portion extending along the direction of the data line, but it is noted that such a portion is only for connection and the main body of the conductive section still extends along the direction of the scanning lines. 
         [0032]    Also, it is noted that the above connection manner is merely exemplary and the conductive section  47  can be connected with the storage capacitor electrode line extending part  431  in any other manner. For instance, the storage capacitor electrode line extending part  431  can be only connected to the conductive section above one of the scanning lines via the second through-hole. In other words, the connection techniques are not limited to the manner as shown in  FIG. 4A , as long as the conductive section  47  is electrically connected to the storage capacitor electrode line extending part  431 , i.e., as long as the conductive section  47  is electrically connected to the storage capacitor electrode line  43 . In addition, any connection technique other than connection via a through-hole can also be used. 
         [0033]      FIG. 4B  is a cross sectional view of  FIG. 4A  taken along the II-II direction. Also for clarity, only the arrangements at the color filter side and the array substrate side are illustrated, and the arrangement of the liquid crystal layer is omitted. The scanning line  41  is disposed on the lower glass substrate  401 , the gate insulation film  402  and the passivation layer  403  are in turn disposed on the scanning line  41 , the pixel electrode  46  is disposed on the passivation layer  403 , the conductive section  47  is provided above the scanning line  41  and a first alignment film  404  is disposed on top. Below the upper glass substrate  408  opposite to the lower glass substrate, there are disposed a plurality of color filter sections  407  and light shield sections  409 , and then disposed further below a common transparent electrode  406  and a second alignment film  405  in turn. In the embodiment, the conductive section  47  is disposed on the passivation layer  403  and made of the same materials (e.g. a transparent conductive material ITO) within the same manufacturing process as the pixel electrode  46 . However, the conductive section  47  can be made of other materials and also be disposed on other layers above the scanning line  41 , as long as the conductive section  47  is not in electrical communication with the scanning line  41 . For instance, the conductive section  47  can be disposed on the gate insulation film  402 . 
         [0034]      FIG. 4C  is a cross sectional view of  FIG. 4A  taken along the III-III direction. Also, only the arrangements at the color filter side and the array substrate side are illustrated, and the arrangement of the liquid crystal layer is omitted. The second through-hole  452  penetrates the passivation layer  403  and the gate insulation film  402 , so that the conductive section  47  can be electrically connected to the storage capacitor electrode line extending part  431  via the second through-hole  452 . In the embodiment, the second through-hole  452  and the first through-hole  451  are made in the same manufacturing process. 
         [0035]    In the embodiment of the invention, the conductive section  47  is disposed above the scanning line  41 , so the electric field between the scanning line  41  and the common transparent electrode  406  is shielded. As shown in  FIG. 4B , the size of the conductive section  47  is fitted to the size of the part of the scanning line  41  corresponding to the pixel region, that is, the conductive section  47  should cover the part of the scanning line corresponding to the pixel region as large as possible, so as to shield the electric field between the scanning line  41  and the common transparent electrode  406  to the greatest extent. In addition, since the conductive section  47  and the storage capacitor electrode line extending part  431  are in electrical communication with each other, the voltages of the conductive section  47  and the storage capacitor electrode line  43  are the same. Conventionally, the voltage of the storage capacitor electrode line  43  is usually about +4.5V, and the voltage of the common transparent electrode  406  is also about +4.5 V. Since the conductive section  47  and the common transparent electrode  406  are substantially of the same electric potential, the electric field effect between them will not be obvious and the generated inductive charge is greatly reduced. Therefore, the influence on the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules by the inductive charge would be significantly reduced, the phenomenon of light leakage can be suppressed and thus the display quality can be greatly improved. 
         [0036]    However, in the pixel arrangement shown in  FIG. 4A  according to an embodiment of the invention, a large parasitic capacitor would be formed between the conductive section  47  and the scanning line  41  due to the presence of the conductive section  47 , so the wiring capacitance on the scanning line  41  would be increased and thereby a relatively large delay of scanning signals would be generated. 
         [0037]    In particular, because actually each of the scanning lines has certain wiring resistance and capacitance, scanning signals would be subjected to the influence from the resistance-capacitance (RC) effect of the scanning line and the waveforms of the scanning signals would be changed, which is commonly referred as the delay of scanning signals. As illustrated in  FIG. 3B , in the structure having no conductive section  47  provided, the wiring capacitance of the scanning line  11  mainly comprises the parasitic capacitor formed between the scanning line  11  and the common transparent electrode  106  opposite thereto, which can be regarded as a series connection of a first capacitor C 1  formed by the gate insulation layer  102  and the passivation layer  103  and a second capacitor C 2  formed by the first and the second alignment films  104  and  105  and the liquid crystal layer. 
         [0038]    As shown in  FIG. 4B , the conductive section  47  is provided above the scanning line  41  and as described above, the conductive section  47  and the common transparent electrode  406  are of almost the same electric potential. Thus, in this case, the electric field between the scanning line  41  and the common transparent electrode  406  can be shielded, and thereby the wiring capacitor of the scanning line  41  mainly comprises the parasitic capacitor between the scanning line  41  and the conductive section  47 . The parasitic capacitor between the scanning line  41  and the conductive section  47  mainly comprises the first capacitor C 1  formed by the gate insulation layer  402  and the passivation layer  403  (actually the gate insulation layer  102  and the passivation layer  103  as shown in  FIG. 3B ). Since the conductive section  47  is electrically connected to the storage capacitor electrode line and the storage capacitor electrode lines are usually in electrical communication with one another, the parallel connection capacitor Cs′ of the storage capacitors Cs corresponding to each of the pixel electrodes in the entire LCD panel would influence the wiring capacitor of the scanning line  41  through the conductive section  47 . Also, the capacitors C 1 ′ between the other conductive sections in electrical communication with the conductive section  47  and the corresponding scanning lines would influence the wiring capacitor of the scanning line  41  through the conductive section  47 . However, since the influence of the above-described Cs′ and C 1 ′ on the wiring capacitor of the scanning line  41  is much less than that of C 1 , the wiring capacitor of the scanning line  41  is approximately C 1 . 
         [0039]    Based on the above analysis, it can be seen that after the conductive section  47  is disposed above the scanning line, the wiring capacitance of the scanning line would be increased (the capacitance of the first capacitor C 1  is certainly larger than that of the series connection of the first capacitor C 1  and the second capacitor C 2 ). A larger delay of scanning signals would be generated and thus display defects such as image flicker or image sticking would arise. In order to overcome such display defects, an improved structure of the LCD panel will be provided in the embodiment of the invention. First, the display defects caused by the delay of scanning signals will be illustrated in connection with the concept of a feed through voltage ΔVp. 
         [0040]    As shown in  FIG. 5A , because the thin film transistor (TFT) connected to the pixel electrode has a so-called feed through effect, at the moment of completion of the scanning signal (i.e. when the gate electrode of the TFT is turned off), the electric potential of the pixel electrode would be decreased, and thus there is a potential difference for the pixel electrode before and after the TFT is turned off, which is referred to the feed through voltage ΔVp. Due to the presence of the feed through voltage ΔVp, the LCD panel has different light penetration ratios and different luminance before and after the TFT is turned off. Thus image flicker occurs and the display quality of the LCD panel would be deteriorated. On the other hand, because of the RC delay on the scanning lines, the scanning signals being received by the pixel electrodes that are connected to a same scanning line would be different from one another. As depicted in  FIG. 5A , on the same scanning line, the feed through voltages ΔVp of the latter pixel electrodes (such as the pixel electrode corresponding to the Nth pixel) are smaller than those of the former pixel electrodes (such as the pixel electrode corresponding to the first pixel), so there exists a certain feed through voltage difference ΔVpd, which results in the problem of image sticking on the LCD panel. 
         [0041]      FIG. 5B  is a schematic graph that illustrates change for ΔVp of the pixel electrode caused by the RC delay of scanning signals along the direction of a scanning line. As illustrated in  FIG. 5B , with A, B and C representing three points along the direction of the scanning line, it can be seen that the change of ΔVp between the former pixel electrodes (from A to B) is obvious, but such change is gradually reduced along the direction of the scanning line, and thus the change of ΔVp between the latter pixel electrodes (from B to C) is very slight. 
         [0042]    The improved structure of the LCD panel according to an embodiment of invention for solving the problem resulted from the above LCD panel structure will be described as follows. The improvement is to provide an auxiliary conductive layer in electrical communication with the storage capacitor electrode line  43  in the scanning signal introducing region, as shown in  FIG. 6A . 
         [0043]      FIG. 6A  is an overall schematic diagram of the LCD panel. For clarity, the structure at the side of the liquid crystal layer and the color filter is omitted, and only the overall structure at the array substrate side is illustrated. A reference number  54  indicates a display region, and a reference number  55  indicates a non-display region.  FIG. 6B  is a partly enlarged diagram of the scanning signal introducing region  56  in  FIG. 6A , wherein a reference number  51  indicates a terminal for receiving scanning signals, a reference number  52  indicates a scanning signal introducing line. One terminal of the scanning signal introducing line  52  is connected to the terminal  51  for receiving scanning signals, and the other terminal thereof is connected to the scanning line  41 . Thus, scanning signals are received by the terminal  51  for receiving scanning signals, and then transmitted to the scanning line  41  via the scanning signal introducing line  52 . 
         [0044]    As shown in  FIG. 6B , considering a number of the scanning signal introducing lines  52  as a whole section, an auxiliary conductive layer  57  is disposed above the section and the auxiliary conductive layer  57  is in electrical communication with the storage capacitor electrode line  43 . In an embodiment, the auxiliary conductive layer  57  is electrically connected to the storage capacitor electrode line extending part  431  or the storage capacitor electrode line  43  via a through-hole. Moreover, the auxiliary conductive layer  57  can have a shape fitted in accordance with the wiring lengths of the scanning signal introducing lines  52 , so as to assure the capacitance value of the auxiliary capacitor formed by the auxiliary conductive layer  57  and each of the scanning signal introducing lines  52  is almost equal to one another. As shown in  FIG. 6B , the scanning signal introducing lines  52  are arranged as a sector. Since the scanning signal introducing lines at both sides are longer than those at the middle region, the shape of the auxiliary conductive layer can be designed as “         ”, “         ” or the like to make sure that the capacitance value of the auxiliary capacitor for each scanning signal introducing line is almost same. 
         [0045]      FIG. 6C  is a cross sectional view of  FIG. 6B  taken along the IV-IV direction, wherein the scanning signal introducing lines  52  are disposed on the lower glass substrate  401 , and the gate insulation film  402 , the passivation layer  403 , the auxiliary conductive layer  57  and the first alignment film  404  are in turn disposed on the scanning signal introducing lines. Below the upper glass substrate  408  opposite to the lower glass substrate, there are disposed a plurality of light shield sections  409 , a common transparent electrode  406  and a second alignment film  405  in turn. In the embodiment, the auxiliary conductive layer  57  can be made of transparent conductive materials and preferably disposed on the passivation layer  403 . However, it is noted that the auxiliary conductive layer  57  can be made of other materials and disposed on the other layers above the scanning signal introducing lines  52  (e.g. the auxiliary conductive layer  57  can be disposed on the gate insulation film  402 ), as long as the auxiliary conductive layer  57  is not in electrical communication with the scanning signal introducing lines  52 . An auxiliary capacitor  53  can be formed between the auxiliary conductive layer  57  and the scanning signal introducing lines  52 . 
         [0046]    Similar to the principle of the wiring capacitance on the scanning line being increased after the conductive section  47  is disposed above the scanning line and electrically connected to the storage capacitor electrode line as described above with reference to  FIG. 4B , the wiring capacitance on the scanning signal introducing lines  52  will be increased when the auxiliary conductive layer  57  is disposed above the scanning signal introducing lines  52  and electrically connected to the storage capacitor lines. 
         [0047]      FIG. 7  is a schematic contrast diagram of the change for ΔVp of the pixel electrode along the direction of a scanning line before and after the disposition of an auxiliary conductive layer above the scanning signal introducing lines. The left is a graph indicating the change for ΔVp of the pixel electrode along the direction of the scanning line before the disposition of the auxiliary conductive layer, and the right is a graph indicating the changes for ΔVp of the pixel electrode along the direction of the scanning line after the disposition of the auxiliary conductive layer. The wiring capacitance on the scanning signal introducing lines is increased due to the disposition of the auxiliary conductive layer, then most loads on the scanning lines are carried by the scanning signal introducing lines  52 , and thus the ΔVp of the pixel electrode is relatively low from the beginning part of the scanning line and the change ΔVpd of ΔVp along the direction of the scanning line is very low. Because of the reduced ΔVp and ΔVpd, the phenomenon of image flicker and sticking on the LCD panel can be suppressed.
