Abstract

An active device array substrate includes a substrate, scan lines disposed on the substrate, data lines intersected with the scan lines, scan signal transmission lines, and pixel units. The scan signal transmission lines are intersected with the scan lines. Each scan signal transmission line connects one scan line through a node. The pixel unit electrically connects the corresponding data line and the corresponding scan line and includes an active device and a pixel electrode. The active device has a gate, a source, and a drain. The pixel electrode electrically connects the drain. In the pixel units not adjacent to the nodes, a gate-to-drain capacitance of each active device is Cgd 1 . In the pixel units adjacent to the nodes, the gate-to-drain capacitances of some active devices are Cgd 2 , the gate-to-drain capacitances of the other active devices are Cgd 1 , and Cgd 1≠ Cgd 2.
