Non-rectangular display panel and display device comprising same

Abstract

The invention relates to a non-rectangular display panel and a display device adopting the non-rectangular display panel. The non-rectangular display panel comprises a visible area an a peripheral circuit area, wherein the visible area is provided with a first pixel unit line, a plurality of first sub-pixel units of each pixel unit are distributed along the first direction, and the distribution direction of the first pixel unit line is the second direction; the peripheral circuit area is provided with source electrode drive units and a first reference pixel unit group, the first reference pixel unit group is provided with a plurality of first sub reference pixel units, the plurality of first sub reference pixel units are in one-to-one correspondence to the plurality of first sub pixel units, the distance between the first pixel units in the first pixel unit line and the source electrode drive units is the minimal, and the distance between the first pixel units and the source electrode drive units is the first distance; the first distance is greater than the preset distance, the plurality of first sub reference pixel units in the first reference pixel unit group are distributed along the second direction, and the preset distance is the minimal value of the distances between all the pixel units in the visible area and the source electrode drive units.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a non-rectangular display panel and a display device including the same, in particular to a non-rectangular display panel with optimized circuit space configuration and a display device including the same. Background technique [0002] At present, flat-panel displays are widely used in various occasions, such as: computers, mobile phones, televisions, digital cameras, digital video cameras, watches, walkmans, automobile and motorcycle dashboards, and display panels of various sizes. With the extension of the application range, In many cases, display panels have begun to use non-rectangular designs. [0003] However, due to its non-rectangular shape, the relevant designs in the rectangular display panel, especially the circuit design, cannot be directly applied to the non-rectangular display panel. figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a non-rectangular panel in the prior art. The non-rectangular display panel 100 is pr...

[0003] However, due to its non-rectangular shape, the related design in the rectangular display panel, especially the design of the circuit, has gradually been unable to be directly applied to the non-rectangular display panel.

figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a non-rectangular panel in the prior art. The non-rectangular display panel 100 is provided with a reference pixel unit group 120 and a gate drive unit 130 outside the visible area 110. The reference pixel unit group 120 still follows the design idea when using a rectangle, namely along the The transmission direction of the gate signal is arranged so that, in the dotted line portion 140 in the figure, the reference pixel unit group 120 and the gate driving unit 130 overlap in the hypotenuse area of ​​the non-rectangular display panel 100, that is, the circuit space in the hypotenuse area cannot At the same time to meet the setting requirements of the reference pixel unit group 120 and the gate drive unit 130, it is necessary to further optimize the configuration of the circuit space in the hypotenuse area
