Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display panel and a display device. Background Art

[0002] In daily use of smartphones, in addition to the obvious parts such as the screen, camera, and earpiece, there are usually some small holes hidden above the screen. For example, the light sensor hole is another common small hole, which is responsible for detecting the light intensity of the surrounding environment. According to the change of light intensity, the mobile phone can automatically adjust the screen brightness to save power and protect the user's eyesight. The light sensor hole is usually located at the edge above the mobile phone screen and fits tightly with the screen. Some mobile phones are also equipped with infrared sensor holes for advanced functions such as face recognition and gesture recognition. Infrared sensors can capture the user's facial features or gestures, and recognize and process them through algorithms. This technology makes mobile phones more convenient and safer in scenarios such as unlocking and payment.

[0003] In order to allow external light to reach the light sensor or infrared sensor, an opening is usually designed on the black matrix layer (Black Matrix, BM) of a traditional display panel. However, the spacing between two adjacent openings on the black matrix layer of a traditional display panel in different directions is different. After the external light enters an opening, it will be reflected by the metal film layer inside the display panel and emitted from the opening adjacent to the opening. However, since the spacing between two adjacent openings in different directions is different, after the external light from different directions enters the opening, the light reflected from the adjacent openings in different directions is inconsistent, causing the opening to have visual differences at different observation angles. When the user uses it, this visual difference will be noticed by the human eye, thereby affecting the display effect.

[0065] The meanings of the terms used in this specification and claims correspond to the meanings commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in this specification and claims are only for the purpose of facilitating the description and understanding of this application, and are not intended to limit this application to the narrow interpretation of the specific terms used in the specification and claims.

[0066] See also Figure 1 , the conventional display panel 100' includes a sensor area SA. The conventional display panel 100' includes a black matrix layer 10', an encapsulation layer 20' and a cathode layer 30'. A plurality of openings K1' are provided in the portion of the black matrix layer 10' located in the sensor area SA. After external light enters the opening K1', it passes through the encapsulation layer 20' and is reflected by the cathode layer 30'. Among them, the spacing L2' between two adjacent openings K1' in the first direction Y is different from the spacing L1' between two adjacent openings K1' in the second direction X.

[0067] The example in which the interval L2 ′ between two adjacent openings K1 ′ in the first direction Y is greater than the interval L1 ′ between two adjacent openings K1 ′ in the second direction X is used for description.

[0068] See also Figure 2 After a beam of external light S1' is incident on an opening K1' along the second direction X, the light S1' passes through the encapsulation layer 20' and reaches the cathode layer 30', and is reflected by the surface of the cathode layer 30' and emitted from the adjacent opening K1' with a spacing of L1'.

[0069] See also Figure 3 , after a beam of external light S2' is incident on the same opening K1' along the first direction Y, the light S2' passes through the encapsulation layer 20' and reaches the cathode layer 30', and is reflected by the surface of the cathode layer 30', and cannot be emitted from the adjacent openings K1' with a spacing of L2'. This is because the spacing between two adjacent openings K1' in the first direction Y is L2', which is greater than the spacing L1' between two adjacent openings K1' in the second direction X. The light S2' reflected by the cathode layer 30' reaches the portion of the surface of the black matrix layer 10' where no opening is set, and the reflected light S2' will be absorbed by the black matrix layer, resulting in the reflected light S2' being unable to be emitted from the adjacent openings K1' with a spacing of L2'.

[0070] In the conventional display panel 100', after external light from different directions enters the opening K1', the light reflected from adjacent openings K1' in different directions is inconsistent, resulting in visual differences in the opening K1' at different viewing angles. When used by users, such visual differences will be noticed by the human eye, thereby affecting the display effect.

[0071] The present application proposes a display device, which may be a tablet computer, an electronic reader, an electronic display screen, a laptop computer, a mobile phone, an augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) device, a media player, a wearable device, a digital camera, a car navigation system, etc. The display device includes a display panel 100 .

[0072] Optionally, the display device further includes a light sensor. The orthographic projection of the light sensor on the display panel is located in the sensor area. The plurality of first openings are arranged corresponding to the light sensor. The light sensor is used to detect the intensity of ambient light.

[0073] Optionally, the display device further includes an infrared sensor. The orthographic projection of the infrared sensor on the display panel is located in the sensor area, and the plurality of first openings are arranged corresponding to the infrared sensor. The infrared sensor is used to detect infrared radiation.

[0074] The present application proposes a display panel 100. The display panel 100 may be an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display panel 100, a micro light emitting diode (MicroLED) display panel 100, a sub-millimeter light emitting diode (Mini LED) display panel 100, or a liquid crystal display panel 100 (LCD).

[0075] To avoid redundancy, the embodiments of the present application are described by taking the organic light emitting diode display panel 100 as an example.

[0076] See also Figure 4 The display panel 100 includes a display area AA. At least a portion of the display area AA is a sensor area SA.

[0077] See also Figure 5 The display panel 100 includes a black matrix layer 10. A portion of the black matrix layer 10 located in the sensor area SA is provided with a plurality of first opening rows 11 spaced apart in a first direction Y. The first opening row 11 includes a plurality of first openings K1 spaced apart along a second direction X. The first direction Y intersects the second direction X.

[0078] In the first direction Y, the distance between two adjacent first opening rows 11 is a first distance L1.

[0079] In the second direction X, the interval between two adjacent first openings K1 is a second interval L2. The first interval L1 is equal to the second interval L2.

[0080] In this embodiment, the first interval L1 and the second interval L2 are both defined as the minimum length of the black matrix layer 10 between two adjacent first openings K1 .

[0081] The display panel 100 further includes a substrate 40, a cathode layer 30 and an encapsulation layer 20. The cathode layer 30 is disposed on one side of the substrate 40. The encapsulation layer 20 is disposed on a side of the cathode layer 30 away from the substrate 40. The black matrix layer 10 is disposed on a side of the encapsulation layer 20 away from the cathode layer 30. The first opening K1 exposes a portion of the encapsulation layer 20.

[0082] See also Figure 6 After a beam of external light S1 is incident on a first opening K1 along the first direction Y, the light S1 passes through the encapsulation layer 20 and reaches the cathode layer 30, is reflected by the surface of the cathode layer 30, and is emitted from the first openings K1 adjacent to each other in the first direction Y and spaced apart by a first spacing L1.

[0083] See also Figure 7 After a beam of external light S2 is incident on a first opening K1 along the second direction X, the light S2 passes through the encapsulation layer 20 and reaches the cathode layer 30, is reflected by the surface of the cathode layer 30, and is emitted from the first openings K1 adjacent to each other in the second direction X and spaced apart by a second spacing L2.

[0084] Since the first spacing L1 is equal to the second spacing L2, after external light from different directions is incident on the first opening K1, the light reflected from adjacent first openings K1 in different directions is consistent, which can reduce the visual difference of the first opening K1 at different observation angles, thereby reducing the visual difference when the user uses it and improving the display effect.

[0085] In this embodiment, the portion of the black matrix layer 10 located in the sensor area SA is provided with a plurality of first openings K1 spaced apart in the first direction Y. For one first opening K1, the first opening K1 is spaced equally from another first opening K1 adjacent to the first direction Y and another first opening K1 adjacent to the second direction X. After external light from different directions enters the first opening K1, the light reflected from another first opening K1 adjacent to the first opening K1 in the first direction Y and another first opening K1 adjacent to the first opening K1 in the second direction X is consistent, thereby reducing visual differences when used by users and improving display effects.

[0086] Optionally, the first direction Y is perpendicular to the second direction X.

[0087] The first pitch and the second pitch both range from 30 micrometers to 60 micrometers.

[0088] The values ​​of the first spacing and the second spacing are one of 30 microns, 31 microns, 32 microns, 33 microns, 34 microns, 35 microns, 36 microns, 37 microns, 38 microns, 39 microns, 40 microns, 41 microns, 42 microns, 43 microns, 44 microns, 45 microns, 46 microns, 47 microns, 48 ​​microns, 49 microns, 50 microns, 51 microns, 52 microns, 53 microns, 54 microns, 55 microns, 56 microns, 57 microns, 58 microns, 59 microns, and 60 microns.

[0089] See also Figure 8 Optionally, the display panel 100 further includes a plurality of first filter blocks 51 , a plurality of second filter blocks 52 , a plurality of third filter blocks 53 and a plurality of fourth filter blocks 54 .

[0090] The portion of the black matrix layer 10 located in the sensor area SA is also provided with a plurality of first filter holes H1, a plurality of second filter holes H2, a plurality of third filter holes H3, and a plurality of fourth filter holes H4. The first filter block 51 is disposed in the first filter hole H1. The second filter block 52 is disposed in the second filter hole H2. The third filter block 53 is disposed in the third filter hole H3. The fourth filter block 54 is disposed in the fourth filter hole H4.

[0091] In a plan view of the display panel 100 , a first filter hole H1 , a second filter hole H2 , a third filter hole H3 and a fourth filter block 54 are arranged at intervals around a first opening K1 .

[0092] A first opening K1 and a first filter hole H1 , a second filter hole H2 , a third filter hole H3 and a fourth filter hole H4 located around the first opening K1 form a repeating unit 61 .

[0093] The plurality of repeating units 61 are arranged at intervals along the second direction X in the sensor area SA to form repeating unit rows 60 , and the plurality of repeating unit rows 60 are arranged at intervals along the first direction Y in the sensor area SA.

[0094] In this embodiment, by setting a filter hole in the black matrix layer 10 and setting a filter block in the filter hole, a design without a polarizer is realized, thereby reducing production costs. At the same time, the first opening K1 is set between multiple filter blocks in the repeating unit 61, and the spacing between different filter blocks and the first opening K1 in the same repeating unit 61 is reduced. After external light from different directions is incident on the first opening K1, the light emitted by adjacent filter blocks of the first opening K1 is consistent, thereby reducing visual differences when used by users and improving display effects.

[0095] Optionally, the display panel 100 further includes a light emitting layer 31 and an anode 32. The light emitting layer 31 is disposed on the side of the cathode layer 30 away from the encapsulation layer 20, and the anode 32 is disposed on the side of the light emitting layer 31 away from the cathode layer 30. One light emitting layer 31 and one anode 32 are disposed corresponding to one filter block.

[0096] See also Fig. 9 Optionally, in the first direction Y, a distance between two adjacent repeating unit rows 60 is a fifth distance L5.

[0097] In the second direction X, the interval between two adjacent repeating units 61 is a sixth interval L6. The fifth interval L5 is equal to the sixth interval L6.

[0098] In this embodiment, the fifth spacing L5 and the sixth spacing L6 are both defined as the spacing between the centers of two adjacent repeating units 61. The first opening K1 may be located at the center of the repeating unit 61, or may not be located at the center of the repeating unit 61, which is not limited herein. To avoid redundancy, the following embodiments are described with the first opening K1 being located at the center of the repeating unit 61.

[0099] See also Fig.10 After a beam of external light S3 is incident on the first opening K1 of a repeating unit 61 along the first direction Y, the light S3 passes through the encapsulation layer 20 and reaches the cathode layer 30, is reflected by the surface of the cathode layer 30, and is emitted from the first opening K1 of another repeating unit 61 adjacent in the first direction Y and spaced apart by the fifth spacing L5.

[0100] See also Fig.11 After a beam of external light S4 is incident on the first opening K1 of a repeating unit 61 along the second direction X, the light S4 passes through the encapsulation layer 20 to reach the cathode layer 30, is reflected by the surface of the cathode layer 30, and is emitted from the first opening K1 adjacent to each other in the second direction X and spaced apart by the sixth spacing L6.

[0101] Since the fifth spacing L5 is equal to the sixth spacing L6, after external light from different directions is incident on the first opening K1 of the repeating unit 61, the light reflected from the first opening K1 of adjacent repeating units 61 in different directions is consistent, which can reduce the visual difference of the repeating unit 61 at different observation angles, thereby reducing the visual difference when the user uses it and improving the display effect.

[0102] See also Fig.12 , optionally, in a repeating unit 61:

[0103] In the plan view of the display panel 100, the minimum distance between the edge of the first opening K1 and the edge of the first filter hole H1 is the seventh distance L7. The minimum distance between the edge of the first opening K1 and the edge of the second filter hole H2 is the eighth distance L8. The minimum distance between the edge of the first opening K1 and the edge of the third filter hole H3 is the ninth distance L9. The minimum distance between the edge of the first opening K1 and the edge of the fourth filter hole H4 is the tenth distance L10. The seventh distance L7, the eighth distance L8, the ninth distance L9, and the tenth distance L10 are all equal.

[0104] After a beam of external light is incident on the first opening K1 of a repeating unit 61 along the first direction Y, the light passes through the encapsulation layer 20 to reach the cathode layer 30, is reflected by the surface of the cathode layer 30, and is emitted from the first filter hole H1 adjacent to each other in the first direction Y and spaced apart by the seventh spacing L7, and from the second filter hole H2 adjacent to each other in the first direction Y and spaced apart by the eighth spacing L8.

[0105] After a beam of external light is incident on the first opening K1 of a repeating unit 61 along the second direction X, the light passes through the encapsulation layer 20 to reach the cathode layer 30, is reflected by the surface of the cathode layer 30, and is emitted from the third filter hole H3 adjacent to each other in the second direction X and spaced apart by the ninth spacing L9, and from the fourth filter hole H4 adjacent to each other in the second direction X and spaced apart by the tenth spacing L10.

[0106] Since in a repeating unit 61, the seventh spacing L7, the eighth spacing L8, the ninth spacing L9 and the tenth spacing L10 are equal, therefore, after the external light from different directions is incident on the first opening K1 of the repeating unit 61, the light reflected by the first filter hole H1, the second filter hole H2, the third filter hole H3 and the fourth filter hole H4 adjacent to the first opening K1 is consistent, which can further reduce the visual difference of the repeating unit 61 at different observation angles, thereby further reducing the visual difference when the user uses it and improving the display effect.

[0107] Optionally, the seventh pitch, the eighth pitch, the ninth pitch, and the tenth pitch are in the range of 5 to 20 microns.

[0108] The values ​​of the seventh spacing, the eighth spacing, the ninth spacing and the tenth spacing are one of 5 microns, 6 microns, 7 microns, 8 microns, 9 microns, 10 microns, 11 microns, 12 microns, 13 microns, 14 microns, 15 microns, 16 microns, 17 microns, 18 microns, 19 microns and 20 microns.

[0109] Optionally, in the Plan view of the display panel:

[0110] The first filter hole H1 and the second filter hole H2 are located on both sides of the first opening in the first direction. The aperture of the first filter hole H1 is smaller than the aperture of the second filter hole H2. The color of the first filter block 51 is the first color. The color of the second filter block 52 is the second color.

[0111] The third filter hole H3 and the fourth filter hole H4 are located on both sides of the first opening in the second direction. The aperture of the third filter hole H3 is equal to the aperture of the fourth filter hole H4. The color of the third filter block 53 is the third color. The color of the fourth filter block 54 is the third color.

[0112] The aperture of the third filter hole H3 is smaller than the aperture of the first filter hole H1. The first color, the second color and the third color are different.

[0113] In this embodiment, the first color is red, the second color is blue, and the third color is green. The red first filter block 51 is set corresponding to the red light emitting device, the blue second filter block 52 is set corresponding to the blue light emitting device, and the green third filter block 53 and the fourth filter block 54 are set corresponding to the green light emitting device.

[0114] In an organic light-emitting diode, the luminous efficiency of a green light-emitting device is lower than that of other light-emitting devices, so two green filter blocks and corresponding two green light-emitting devices can be set in a repeating unit to improve the green light luminous efficiency of the display panel. In an organic light-emitting diode, the luminous efficiency of a blue light-emitting device is lower than that of a red light-emitting device, so a relatively small red light-emitting device and a relatively large blue light-emitting device can be set. A relatively small red filter block and a relatively large blue filter block are correspondingly set, thereby improving the blue light luminous efficiency of the display panel.

Compared with the first embodiment of the present application, the second embodiment of the present application ensures the symmetry of the first opening K1 in the first direction Y, thereby further improving the symmetry of the first opening K1, further reducing the visual difference of the first opening K1 at different viewing angles, and further improving the display effect.

In one second opening, the interval between the two second side walls K1b is a fourth interval L4. The fourth interval L4 of two adjacent first openings K1 spaced apart along the second direction X is equal. And the length of the fourth interval L4 is the second length M2.

[0133] Since in a first opening K1, the third spacing L3 is equal to the fourth spacing L4, after the external light from different directions is incident on the first opening K1, the light reflected from the same first opening K1 in different directions is consistent, which can further improve the symmetry of the first opening K1 and reduce the visual difference of the first opening K1 at different observation angles, thereby further reducing the visual difference when the user uses it and improving the display effect.
