Abstract

An electronic device includes an electrode layer having a first-, second-and third-pixel electrodes in sequence, a metal layer having a first, second and third parts in sequence, and a data line. The first and second parts overlap a gap between the first-and second-pixel electrodes. The third part overlaps a gap between the second-and third-pixel electrodes. The data line overlaps a gap between the first and second parts. Along a direction, a minimum distance between the data line and the first part is less than a width of the first part, a minimum distance between the data line and the second part is less than a width of the second part, and a distance between a side edge of the first part overlapping the second-pixel electrode and a side edge of the second part overlapping the second-pixel electrode is greater than a width of the third part.

Claims (20)

1 . An electronic device, comprising:

a first substrate;

a gate line disposed on the first substrate and extending along a first direction;

an electrode layer disposed on the first substrate and having a first pixel electrode, a second pixel electrode and a third pixel electrode arranged in sequence along the first direction, wherein the first pixel electrode, the second pixel electrode and the third pixel electrode are electrically connected to the gate line;

a metal layer disposed between the electrode layer and the substrate and having a first part, a second part and a third part arranged in sequence along the first direction, wherein at least a portion of the first part of the metal layer and at least a portion of the second part of the metal layer are overlapped with a gap between the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode, and at least a portion of the third part of the metal layer is overlapped with a gap between the second pixel electrode and the third pixel electrode; and

a data line disposed on the first substrate, wherein the data line is overlapped with a gap between the first part of the metal layer and the second part of the metal layer,

wherein along the first direction, a minimum distance between the data line and the first part of the metal layer is less than a width of the first part of the metal layer, and a minimum distance between the data line and the second part of the metal layer is less than a width of the second part of the metal layer,

wherein the first part of the metal layer has a side edge overlapped with the first pixel electrode, the second part of the metal layer has a side edge overlapped with the second pixel electrode, and along the first direction, a distance between the side edge of the first part of the metal layer and the side edge of the second part of the metal layer is greater than a width of the third part of the metal layer.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:
