Abstract

The disclosed technology relates to an array substrate and a method of manufacturing the same, and a liquid crystal display. The array substrate comprises a base substrate. The base substrate comprises a pixel region and a peripheral region; data lines and gate lines are formed to transversely and longitudinally cross each other on the base substrate to form a plurality of pixel units, and each of the pixel units comprises a switching element, a pixel electrode and a common electrode above the pixel electrode; the common electrode has slits in each pixel unit and is a plate-shaped electrode in the pixel region, when powered on, the common electrode forms a horizontal electric field together with the pixel electrode of the pixel unit; and a common electrode line formed in the pixel region and connected with the common electrode.

Claims (6)

1. An array substrate, comprising: a base substrate, comprising a pixel region and a peripheral region; data lines and gate lines formed to transversely and longitudinally cross each other on the base substrate to form a plurality of pixel units in the pixel region, wherein each of the pixel units comprises a switching element, a pixel electrode and a common electrode above the pixel electrode, and the common electrode has slits in each pixel unit and is a plate-shaped electrode in the pixel region, and when powered on, the common electrode forms a horizontal electric field together with the pixel electrode of each pixel unit; and

a common electrode line formed in the pixel region and connected with the common electrode, wherein the common electrode line comprises a first common electrode line and a second common electrode line, the first common electrode line is disposed at the same layer as the data lines and parallel with the data lines, the second common electrode line is disposed at the same layer to the gate lines and parallel with the gate lines, and the first common electrode line and the second common electrode line are respectively connected with the common electrode through contact via holes.

2. The array substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the material of the common electrode line comprises a metal or a metal oxide.

3. The array substrate according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of common electrode lines, and wherein the number of the rows or columns of the pixel electrode is a multiple of the number of the common electrode lines, and the common electrode lines are uniformly and spacedly distributed in the pixel region.

4. A liquid crystal display, comprising:

a liquid crystal panel, wherein the liquid crystal panel comprises a color film substrate and the array substrate according to claim 1 facing with each other, and a liquid crystal layer is interposed between the color film substrate and the array substrate.
