Abstract

The embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid crystal display panel comprising an array substrate and an opposite substrate arranged opposite to each other, and spacers provided between the array substrate and the opposite substrate; the liquid crystal display panel includes a central region and a peripheral region; heights of the spacers within the central region without extending and contracting are set as a first height; heights of the spacers within the peripheral region without extending and contracting are set as second heights; and the first height is larger than the second heights.

Claims (23)

1. A liquid crystal display panel, comprising an array substrate and an opposite substrate arranged opposite to each other, and spacers provided between the array substrate and the opposite substrate, wherein:

the liquid crystal display panel is divided into a central region and a peripheral region; the central region includes a center of a diagonal of the liquid crystal display panel and a region around the center of the diagonal, and the peripheral region is a region of the liquid crystal display panel other than the central region;

heights of the spacers within the central region without extending and contracting are set as a first height;

heights of the spacers within the peripheral region without extending and contracting are set as second heights; and

the first height is larger than the second heights;

wherein after the array substrate and the opposite substrate are aligned to form a cell, the spacers within the central region and the spacers within the peripheral region have the same height, and wherein the peripheral region is divided into a plurality of ring-shaped sub-regions surrounding the central region along a direction from the central region of the liquid crystal display panel toward outer edge of periphery of the liquid crystal display panel, and the spacers within the same ring-shaped sub-region have the same second height and the second heights of the spacers within the respective ring-shaped sub-regions decrease gradually along the direction from the central region of the liquid crystal display panel toward the outer edge of the periphery of the liquid crystal display panel.

2. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 , wherein, a height difference between the second heights of the spacers respectively within two adjacent ring-shaped sub-regions is in a range of 2% to 3%; and

a height difference between the first height of the spacers within the central region and the second height of the spacers within a ring-shaped sub-region immediately adjacent to the central region is in a range of 2% to 3%.

3. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 , wherein, a height difference between the first height of the spacers within the central region and the second height of the spacers within a ring-shaped sub-region farthest from the central region is 10%.

4. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 , wherein, widths of all of the ring-shaped sub-regions are the same.

5. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 , wherein, widths of the respective ring-shaped sub-regions increase gradually along the direction from the central region of the liquid crystal display panel toward the outer edge of the periphery of the liquid crystal display panel.

6. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 , wherein, widths of the respective ring-shaped sub-regions decrease gradually along the direction from the central region of the liquid crystal display panel toward the outer edge of the periphery of the liquid crystal display panel.

7. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 , wherein, the spacers are arranged on the array substrate; or, the spacers are arranged on the opposite substrate.

8. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 , wherein, the central region is a region which centers on the center of the diagonal of the liquid crystal display panel and has a shape similar to the shape of the liquid crystal display panel, and the peripheral region is divided into a plurality of ring-shaped sub-regions surrounding the central region.

9. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 4 , wherein, the central region is a region which centers on the center of the diagonal of the liquid crystal display panel and has a shape similar to the shape of the liquid crystal display panel, and the peripheral region is divided into a plurality of ring-shaped sub-regions surrounding the central region.

10. A display device, comprising a liquid crystal display panel, the liquid display panel comprising an array substrate and an opposite substrate arranged opposite to each other, and spacers provided between the array substrate and the opposite substrate, wherein:

the liquid crystal display panel is divided into a central region and a peripheral region; the central region includes a center of a diagonal of the liquid crystal display panel and a region around the center of the diagonal, and the peripheral region is a region of the liquid crystal display panel other than the central region;

heights of the spacers within the central region without extending and contracting are set as a first height;

heights of the spacers within the peripheral region without extending and contracting are set as second heights; and

the first height is larger than the second heights;

wherein after the array substrate and the opposite substrate are aligned to form a cell, the spacers within the central region and the spacers within the peripheral region have the same height, and wherein the peripheral region is divided into a plurality of ring-shaped sub-regions surrounding the central region along a direction from the central region of the liquid crystal display panel toward outer edge of periphery of the liquid crystal display panel, and the spacers within the same ring-shaped sub-region have the same second height and the second heights of the spacers within the respective ring-shaped sub-regions decrease gradually along the direction from the central region of the liquid crystal display panel toward the outer edge of the periphery of the liquid crystal display panel.

11. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein, the spacers are arranged on the array substrate; or, the spacers are arranged on the opposite substrate.

12. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein, the central region is a region which centers on the center of the diagonal of the liquid crystal display panel and has a shape similar to the shape of the liquid crystal display panel, and the peripheral region is divided into a plurality of ring-shaped sub-regions surrounding the central region.
