[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will refer to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention through implementation manners. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the basic concepts disclosed and prompted in the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] Refer to Figure 1 as shown, it is a schematic diagram of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Refer to Figure 2 as shown, it is a schematic diagram of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Refer to Figure 3As shown, it is a schematic diagram of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The display panel provided in this embodiment includes: a plurality of pixel repeating units 10 arranged in an array. The pixel repeating unit 10 includes two first sub-pixels 11, two second sub-pixels 12, and four third sub-pixels 13, and the light-emitting colors of the first sub-pixel 11, the second sub-pixel 12, and the third sub-pixel 13 are different; for the pixel repeating unit 10, the centers of the four third sub-pixels 13 form a first virtual square 10a, a first sub-pixel 11 is located inside the first virtual square 10a, the center of the first virtual square 10a does not overlap with the center of the first sub-pixel 11 located inside it, the centers of the two first sub-pixels 11 and the two second sub-pixels 12 form a first virtual parallelogram 10b, and a third sub-pixel 13 is located inside the first virtual parallelogram 10b.

[0031] In this embodiment, the display panel includes a plurality of pixel repeating units 10, and the plurality of pixel repeating units 10 are arranged in an array along the row direction and the column direction. Specifically, the pixel repeating unit 10 is translated in the row direction to obtain a plurality of pixel repeating units 10 in a row, and the pixel repeating unit 10 is translated in the column direction to obtain a plurality of pixel repeating units 10 in a column.

[0032] A pixel repeating unit 10 includes eight sub-pixels, namely two first sub-pixels 11, two second sub-pixels 12, and four third sub-pixels 13. The light-emitting colors of the first sub-pixel 11, the second sub-pixel 12, and the third sub-pixel 13 are different. Optionally, the first sub-pixel 11, the second sub-pixel 12, and the third sub-pixel 13 emit red light R, green light G, and blue light B respectively. For example, the first sub-pixel 11 emits red light R, the second sub-pixel 12 emits blue light B, and the third sub-pixel 13 emits green light G. In other embodiments, it is also optional that the light-emitting colors of the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel are B, R, G in sequence, or other orders, which are not limited thereto.

[0033] A sub-pixel includes a light-emitting structure and a driving circuit. Specifically, the sub-pixel can be divided into a light-emitting area and a non-light-emitting area according to the way of emitting light or not. The light-emitting structure for emitting light is distributed in the light-emitting area, and the driving circuit for driving the light-emitting structure to emit light is distributed in the non-light-emitting area. The center of the sub-pixel described in this embodiment can be understood as the center point of the light-emitting area of the sub-pixel. It can be understood that the shape of the light-emitting area of the sub-pixel can be a regular figure or an irregular figure, and the center of the sub-pixel is the geometric center of the shape of the light-emitting area of the sub-pixel. Figures 1 to 3 The sub-pixel shown is actually the light-emitting area of the sub-pixel, and the gap between the light-emitting areas of adjacent sub-pixels is the non-light-emitting area of the sub-pixel, which is used to place structures such as the driving circuit of the sub-pixel. Hereinafter, the center of the sub-pixel all refers to the geometric center of the shape of the light-emitting area of the sub-pixel, and the sub-pixels shown in the following figures are all the light-emitting areas of the sub-pixels.

[0034] In this embodiment, in a pixel repeating unit 10, the centers of four third sub-pixels 13 form a first virtual square 10a. The first virtual square 10a includes four vertices, and each vertex coincides with the center of the light-emitting region of a third sub-pixel 13. Since the centers of the four third sub-pixels 13 in a pixel repeating unit 10 form a virtual square, the arrangement of the third sub-pixels 13 is conducive to uniform arrangement in the display panel. In addition, the pixel repeating units 10 in the display panel are arranged in an array. Since the centers of the four third sub-pixels 13 in a pixel repeating unit 10 form a virtual square, the third sub-pixels 13 in the display panel are arranged in an array, and the centers of the third sub-pixels 13 arranged in the row direction or the column direction are located on the same straight line, thereby reducing the jaggedness of the vertical line array display of the third sub-pixels 13 and improving the display effect of the display panel.

[0035] A first sub-pixel 11 is located inside the first virtual square 10a, and the center of the first virtual square 10a does not overlap with the center of the first sub-pixel 11 located inside it. The center of the first virtual square 10a is the intersection of the two diagonals of the virtual shape. Since the center of the first virtual square 10a does not overlap with the center of the first sub-pixel 11 located inside it, when arranging pixels, the shape, area, etc. of the first sub-pixel 11 inside the first virtual square 10a can be reasonably designed, thereby adjusting the size of the light-emitting region of the first sub-pixel 11 and the distance from other sub-pixels; the side length of the first virtual square 10a, that is, parameters such as the distance between adjacent third sub-pixels 13, can also be flexibly adjusted, and then the distances between sub-pixels of different light-emitting colors can be reasonably designed to achieve pixel arrangements that meet different resolutions or display effects.

[0036] In this embodiment, in a pixel repeating unit 10, the centers of two first sub-pixels 11 and two second sub-pixels 12 form a first virtual parallelogram 10b. The first virtual parallelogram 10b includes four vertices, and each vertex coincides with the center of the light-emitting region of a sub-pixel. The first virtual parallelogram 10b includes four sides, and the two opposite sides are parallel, and the lengths of the two adjacent sides are usually different. Then the distance between the first sub-pixels 11 and the second sub-pixels 12 is relatively large, which can reduce the problem of sub-pixel light leakage.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 As shown, two identical first sub-pixels 11 are distributed at two opposite vertices of the first virtual parallelogram 10b, and two identical second sub-pixels 12 are distributed at the remaining two opposite vertices of the first virtual parallelogram 10b, that is, two sub-pixels with different light-emitting colors are distributed at two adjacent vertices in the first virtual parallelogram 10b. Or, reference Figure 2As shown, two identical first sub-pixels 11 are distributed at two adjacent vertices of the first virtual parallelogram 10b, and two identical second sub-pixels 12 are distributed at the remaining two adjacent vertices of the first virtual parallelogram 10b. Relevant practitioners can reasonably design the distribution positions of the first sub-pixels and the second sub-pixels at the four vertices of the first virtual parallelogram according to the requirements of the product. It is not limited to the above illustration.

[0038] In the pixel repeating unit 10, a third sub-pixel 13 is located inside the first virtual parallelogram 10b, and the other three third sub-pixels 13 are located outside the first virtual parallelogram 10b. By setting a third sub-pixel 13 inside the first virtual parallelogram 10b and reasonably designing the distance between the third sub-pixel 13 and the first sub-pixels 11 and the second sub-pixels 12, it is beneficial to the color mixing of light of different colors, reduces the probability of color deviation occurring in the pixel repeating unit 10, and improves the display effect of the display panel.

[0039] It can be understood that in actual manufacturing, process errors are allowed to exist, that is, a certain error is allowed between the vertex of the virtual shape and the center of the corresponding sub-pixel, and it is not required that the two coincide completely. There can be a certain small error or spacing between the two. Within the allowable error range, it can be considered that the vertex of the virtual shape coincides with the center of the light-emitting area of the corresponding sub-pixel.

[0040] It should be noted that Figures 1 to 3 The shapes or areas of the shown first sub-pixels 11, second sub-pixels 12, and third sub-pixels 13 can be the same or different. Their shapes are not limited to the illustration and can also be other shapes such as pentagons, hexagons, squares, circles, etc. Relevant practitioners can reasonably design according to the requirements of the product and are not limited to this.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present invention, for the pixel repeating unit, the pixel arrangement forms two virtual shapes, including a virtual parallelogram composed of two first sub-pixels and two second sub-pixels, and a virtual square composed of four third sub-pixels. One third sub-pixel is located inside the virtual parallelogram, and the other three third sub-pixels are located outside the virtual parallelogram. The arrangement method in which the centers of the four third sub-pixels in the pixel repeating unit form a virtual square is beneficial to the uniform arrangement of the third sub-pixels in the display panel and is also beneficial to the array arrangement of the third sub-pixels in the display panel. Then, the centers of the third sub-pixels arranged in the column direction are located on the same vertical line. Furthermore, the sawtooth feeling of the vertical line array display can be weakened based on the arrangement of the third sub-pixels, and the display effect of the vertical line array can be improved, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel.

[0042] Optionally, the center of the first virtual parallelogram 10b does not overlap with the center of the third sub-pixel 13 located inside it. The center of the first virtual parallelogram 10b is the intersection point of the two diagonals of this virtual shape. If the center of the first virtual parallelogram 10b does not overlap with the center of the third sub-pixel 13 located inside it, then when arranging the pixels, the shape, area, etc. of the third sub-pixel 13 inside the first virtual parallelogram 10b can be reasonably designed, so as to adjust the size of the light-emitting area of the third sub-pixel 13 and the distance from other sub-pixels; the side length of the first virtual parallelogram 10b can also be flexibly adjusted, and then the distances between sub-pixels of different light-emitting colors can be adjusted, etc., to achieve pixel arrangements with different resolutions or display effects.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of a pixel repeating unit provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Reference Figure 5 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Reference Figure 6 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, the center distances between the third sub-pixel 13 and two adjacent first sub-pixels 11 are a and c respectively, and the center distances between the third sub-pixel 13 and two adjacent second sub-pixels 12 are b and d respectively; a≠b≠c≠d, or, a = b≠c≠d, or, a = d≠c≠b.

[0044] As Figure 4 shown, optionally, a, b, c, and d are used to represent the distances between the third sub-pixel 13 located inside the first virtual parallelogram 10b and the four sub-pixels at the four vertices of the first virtual parallelogram 10b in the pixel repeating unit 10. Specifically, each distance refers to the distance between the geometric centers of the light-emitting areas of two sub-pixels. If the center of the first virtual parallelogram 10b does not coincide with the center of the third sub-pixel 13, then a≠c, b≠d; on this basis, optionally, a≠b≠c≠d, or, a = b, or, a = d.

[0045] As Figure 5 shown, optionally, in two adjacent pixel repeating units 10 in the row direction, a third sub-pixel 13 is located between two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b in the row direction. These two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b have opposite sides, and these opposite sides include two first sub-pixels 11 and two second sub-pixels 12. a, b, c, and d are used to represent the distances between the above-mentioned third sub-pixel 13 and two first sub-pixels 11 and two second sub-pixels 12 located on the opposite sides in the row direction. Optionally, a≠b≠c≠d, or, a = b≠c≠d, or, a = d≠c≠b.

[0046] As Figure 6As shown in the figure, in two adjacent pixel repeating units 10 in the optional column direction, a third sub-pixel 13 is located between two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b in the column direction. The two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b have opposite sides, and the opposite sides include two first sub-pixels 11 and two second sub-pixels 12. a, b, c, and d are used to represent the distances between the above-mentioned third sub-pixel 13 and the two first sub-pixels 11 and the two second sub-pixels 12 located on the opposite sides in the column direction. Optionally, a≠b≠c≠d, or a = b≠c≠d, or a = d≠c≠b.

[0047] With the above pixel arrangement, the distances between sub-pixels of different emission colors can be flexibly adjusted, thereby reducing the risk of pixel crosstalk, improving the problem of jaggedness when displaying vertical lines, and enhancing the display effect. It can be understood that the above pixel arrangement is only some examples and is not limited thereto.

[0048] Reference Figure 7 As shown in the figure, it is a schematic diagram of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 7 shown, the centers of four third sub-pixels 13 on the opposite sides of two adjacent first virtual squares 10a optionally form a first virtual rectangle, and a second sub-pixel 12 is located inside the first virtual rectangle.

[0049] In the row direction, two adjacent first virtual squares 10a are located in two adjacent pixel repeating units 10, and the two adjacent first virtual squares 10a do not share a side. For the two adjacent first virtual squares 10a, in the row direction from left to right as shown in the figure, the left first virtual square 10a has a side 101a, and this side 101a faces the right adjacent first virtual square 10a. The right first virtual square 10a has a side 102a, and this side 102a faces the left adjacent first virtual square 10a. Then, the side 101a and the side 102a are the opposite sides of the two adjacent first virtual squares 10a. The two opposite sides 101a and 102a are parallel, and the centers of the four third sub-pixels 13 located on the two opposite sides 101a and 102a form a first virtual rectangle 10c, and a second sub-pixel 12 is located inside the first virtual rectangle 10c.

[0050] In the column direction, two adjacent first virtual squares 10a are located within two adjacent pixel repeating units 10, and these two adjacent first virtual squares 10a do not share an edge. For these two adjacent first virtual squares 10a, in the column direction from top to bottom as shown in the figure, the upper first virtual square 10a has an edge 103a, and this edge 103a faces the lower adjacent first virtual square 10a. The lower first virtual square 10a has an edge 104a, and this edge 104a faces the upper adjacent first virtual square 10a. Then, the edge 103a and the edge 104a are the opposite edges of these two adjacent first virtual squares 10a. These two opposite edges 103a and 104a are parallel, and the centers of the four third sub-pixels 13 located on these two opposite edges 103a and 104a form a first virtual rectangle 10d, and one second sub-pixel 12 is located inside the first virtual rectangle 10d.

[0051] As can be seen from Figure 7 above, if the third sub-pixels 13 adopt the above pixel arrangement method, then the geometric centers of the light-emitting regions of the third sub-pixels 13 arranged in the column direction can be located on the same vertical line. Then, the third sub-pixels 13 can achieve a good vertical line array display effect, reduce the jagged feeling during vertical line array display, and improve the display effect.

[0052] Optionally, the center of the first virtual rectangle does not overlap with the center of the second sub-pixel 12 located inside it. The center of the first virtual rectangle 10c / 10d is the intersection point of its two diagonals. If the center of the first virtual rectangle 10c / 10d does not overlap with the center of the second sub-pixel 12 located inside it, then when arranging the pixels, the shape, area, etc. of the second sub-pixel inside the first virtual rectangle can be reasonably designed, so as to adjust the size of the light-emitting region of the second sub-pixel and the distance from other sub-pixels; the side length of the first virtual rectangle can also be flexibly adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance between sub-pixels of different light-emitting colors, etc., to achieve pixel arrangements with different resolutions or display effects, and reduce the risk of sub-pixel crosstalk.

[0053] Optionally, the area of the first virtual rectangle is the same as the area of the first virtual square 10a.

[0054] Referring to Figure 7 as shown, optionally in the row direction, the area of the first virtual rectangle 10c is the same as the area of the first virtual square 10a, that is, the centers of the four third sub-pixels 13 in the pixel repeating unit 10 form a first virtual square 10a, and the centers of the four third sub-pixels 13 on the opposite sides of two adjacent first virtual squares 10a form the same virtual square. Then, in the row direction, the distance between two adjacent third sub-pixels 13 is equal, realizing the uniform distribution of the third sub-pixels 13 in the row direction. The display effect is improved.

[0055] Referring to Figure 7As shown, in the optional column direction, the area of the first virtual rectangle 10d is the same as the area of the first virtual square 10a, that is, the centers of the four third sub-pixels 13 within the pixel repeating unit 10 form the first virtual square 10a, and the centers of the four third sub-pixels 13 on the opposite sides of two adjacent first virtual squares 10a form the same virtual square. Then in the column direction, the spacing between two adjacent third sub-pixels 13 is equal, achieving a uniform distribution of the third sub-pixels 13 in the column direction. The display effect is improved.

[0056] In other embodiments, it is also optional that the length of one side of the first virtual parallelogram is equal to the side length of the first virtual square, or the lengths of all sides of the first virtual parallelogram are equal, or the lengths of all sides of the first virtual parallelogram are equal to the side length of the first virtual square. Relevant practitioners can reasonably design parameters such as the side lengths of the first virtual parallelogram and the first virtual square according to the requirements of the product, and the pixel arrangement methods include but are not limited to the above examples.

[0057] Reference Figure 8 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 8 As shown, it is optional that the centers of two first sub-pixels 11 and two second sub-pixels 12 on the opposite sides of two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b form a second virtual parallelogram, and a third sub-pixel 13 is located inside the second virtual parallelogram.

[0058] In the row direction, two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b are located in two adjacent pixel repeating units 10, and these two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b do not share a side. For these two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b, the side of each first virtual parallelogram 10b facing the other first virtual parallelogram 10b is the two opposite sides of these two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b. These two opposite sides are parallel, and the centers of two first sub-pixels 11 and two second sub-pixels 12 located on these two opposite sides form a second virtual parallelogram 10e, and one third sub-pixel 13 is located inside the second virtual parallelogram 10e.

[0059] Similarly, in the column direction, the centers of two first sub-pixels 11 and two second sub-pixels 12 on the opposite sides of two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b form a second virtual parallelogram 10f, and a third sub-pixel 13 is located inside the second virtual parallelogram 10f.

[0060] From Figure 8It can be seen that if the first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12 adopt the above pixel arrangement method, the distance between the first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12 can be made relatively large, so that the contact between the two is less, thereby reducing the problem of light stealing between the first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12.

[0061] Optionally, the center of the second virtual parallelogram does not overlap with the center of the third sub-pixel 13 located inside it. The center of the second virtual parallelogram is the intersection of its two diagonals. Since the center of the second virtual parallelogram does not overlap with the center of the third sub-pixel 13 located inside it, when arranging pixels, the shapes, areas, etc. of the first sub-pixel 11, the second sub-pixel 12, and the third sub-pixel 13 can be reasonably designed, so as to adjust the light-emitting area sizes and distances of sub-pixels of different emission colors, improve the display effect, and reduce the risk of light stealing of sub-pixels.

[0062] Optionally, in one column of pixel repeating units 10, the first sub-pixels 11 located at the same position are on the same straight line, and the second sub-pixels 12 located at the same position are on the same straight line.

[0063] In this embodiment, one column of pixel repeating units 10 includes multiple pixel repeating units 10. If a pixel repeating unit 10 in this column of pixel repeating units 10 is translated in the column direction, then after translation, the two pixel repeating units 10 overlap. The first sub-pixels 11 at the same position in the pixel repeating unit 10 after overlapping are the first sub-pixels 11 at the same position. Similarly, the second sub-pixels 12 at the same position in the pixel repeating unit 10 after overlapping are the second sub-pixels 12 at the same position.

[0064] For example, after the pixel repeating unit 10 including the first sub-pixel 11a is translated in the column direction, it can overlap with the pixel repeating unit 10 including the first sub-pixel 11b. Among them, the first sub-pixel 11a and the first sub-pixel 11b are located at the same position in the pixel repeating unit 10, so the first sub-pixel 11a and the first sub-pixel 11b are located at the same position in one column of pixel repeating units 10. Similarly, the second sub-pixel 12a and the second sub-pixel 12b are located at the same position in one column of pixel repeating units 10.

[0065] In one column of pixel repeating units 10, if the first sub-pixels 11a, the first sub-pixel 11b, and other first sub-pixels 11 at the same position are on the same straight line, the jagged feeling of the first sub-pixels 11 in this column of pixel repeating units 10 can be weakened. If the second sub-pixels 12a, the second sub-pixel 12b, and other second sub-pixels 12 at the same position are on the same straight line, the jagged feeling of the second sub-pixels 12 during display in this column of pixel repeating units 10 can be weakened. The display effect is improved.

[0066] Optionally, in the column direction, the adjacent first virtual parallelogram 10b and the second virtual parallelogram 10f are axially symmetrically distributed along their common side. In this embodiment, since the adjacent first virtual parallelogram 10b and the second virtual parallelogram 10f have a common side, and the first virtual parallelogram 10b and the second virtual parallelogram 10f are designed to be axially symmetrically distributed along their common side, the areas of the first virtual parallelogram 10b and the second virtual parallelogram 10f are the same. With this pixel arrangement, in the column direction, the first sub-pixels 11 and the second sub-pixels 12 are regularly distributed, which can reduce the jagged feeling of the first sub-pixels 11 and the second sub-pixels 12 during display in the column direction and improve the display effect.

[0067] Reference Figure 9 shown is a schematic diagram of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 10 is Figure 9 a partial schematic diagram of. As Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, optionally, among four adjacent pixel repeating units 10, the centers of the four first sub-pixels 11 at the same position form a first virtual quadrilateral 10g, and a first sub-pixel 11 is located inside the first virtual quadrilateral 10g and their centers do not overlap.

[0068] In this embodiment, four pixel repeating units 10 arranged in a 2*2 matrix are selected, and the four pixel repeating units 10 are adjacent to each other in pairs. For the four pixel repeating units 10, it can be understood that when the pixel repeating unit 10 is translated in the row direction, two pixel repeating units 10 overlap in the row direction; when the pixel repeating unit 10 is translated in the column direction, two pixel repeating units 10 overlap in the column direction. The first sub-pixels 11 at the same position after overlapping are the first sub-pixels 11 at the same position.

[0069] Specifically, among four adjacent pixel repeating units 10, the four first sub-pixels 11 at the same position are respectively the first sub-pixel 11a, the first sub-pixel 11b, the first sub-pixel 11c, and the first sub-pixel 11d. The centers of the four first sub-pixels 11 at the same position form a first virtual quadrilateral 10g, and a first sub-pixel 11e is located inside the first virtual quadrilateral 10g and their centers do not overlap. It can be understood that the inside of the first virtual quadrilateral 10g includes multiple sub-pixels, but there is only one first sub-pixel 11e among them, and the others are second sub-pixels 12 and third sub-pixels 13.

[0070] The center of the first virtual quadrilateral 10g is the intersection point of the two diagonals of this virtual shape. Since the center of the first virtual quadrilateral 10g does not overlap with the center of the first sub-pixel 11e, the spacing of each first sub-pixel can be flexibly designed to achieve a better display effect.

[0071] The optional first virtual quadrilateral 10g includes two adjacent sides. The central distances between two first sub-pixels located on one side and the center of the first sub-pixel 11e located inside the first virtual quadrilateral 10g are not equal, and the central distances between two first sub-pixels located on the other side and the center of the first sub-pixel 11e located inside the first virtual quadrilateral 10g are equal.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first sub-pixels 11a and 11b are located on one side of the first virtual quadrilateral 10g, and the first sub-pixels 11a and 11c are located on an adjacent side of the first virtual quadrilateral 10g. Optionally, the distance between the center of the first sub-pixel 11a and the center of the first sub-pixel 11e is equal to the distance between the center of the first sub-pixel 11b and the center of the first sub-pixel 11e, and both distances are x; the distance x between the center of the first sub-pixel 11a and the center of the first sub-pixel 11e is not equal to the distance y between the center of the first sub-pixel 11c and the center of the first sub-pixel 11e.

[0073] The first sub-pixels 11c and 11d are located on one side of the first virtual quadrilateral 10g, and the first sub-pixels 11d and 11b are located on an adjacent side of the first virtual quadrilateral 10g. Optionally, the distance between the center of the first sub-pixel 11c and the center of the first sub-pixel 11e is equal to the distance between the center of the first sub-pixel 11d and the center of the first sub-pixel 11e, and both distances are y; the distance y between the center of the first sub-pixel 11d and the center of the first sub-pixel 11e is not equal to the distance x between the center of the first sub-pixel 11b and the center of the first sub-pixel 11e.

[0074] Adopting this pixel arrangement method, in the column direction, it is beneficial to the regular distribution of the first sub-pixels 11, which can weaken the jagged feeling of the first sub-pixels 11 when displayed in the vertical line array and improve the display effect.

[0075] Reference Figure 11 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 12 is Figure 11 a partial schematic diagram of Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the centers of four adjacent first sub-pixels 11 can form a second virtual quadrilateral 10h. The second virtual quadrilateral 10h includes a first side to a fourth side connected in sequence. Among them, the lengths of the opposite first side and third side are not equal, and the lengths of the opposite second side and fourth side are not equal; the second virtual quadrilateral 10h includes a first vertex to a fourth vertex. The two first sub-pixels 11 located at the opposite first vertex and third vertex are respectively located inside two adjacent first virtual squares 10a, and the two first sub-pixels 11 located at the opposite second vertex and fourth vertex are respectively located at the same positions of two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b; the two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b are located in the same row and the two adjacent first virtual squares 10a are located in the same column, or the two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b are located in the same column and the two adjacent first virtual squares 10a are located in the same row.

[0076] In this embodiment, the centers of four adjacent first sub-pixels 11 form a second virtual quadrilateral 10h. The two first sub-pixels 11 at the opposite two vertices of the second virtual quadrilateral 10h are respectively located inside two adjacent first virtual squares 10a, and the remaining two first sub-pixels 11 at the opposite two vertices are respectively located at the same positions of two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b. Optionally, the two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b are located in the same column and the two adjacent first virtual squares 10a are located in the same row.

[0077] In the second virtual quadrilateral 10h, the lengths of the opposite two sides are not equal. Therefore, the pitch of the adjacent pixel repeating units 10 in the row direction or column direction can be flexibly designed, so as to adjust the pitch between the first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12, so as to solve the problem of light stealing between sub-pixels of different emission colors.

[0078] Optionally, the lengths of the first side and the second side are equal, and the lengths of the third side and the fourth side are equal.

[0079] In the second virtual quadrilateral 10h, the first side and the second side are adjacent and have equal lengths, both being L1, and the third side and the fourth side are adjacent and have equal lengths, both being L2.

[0080] Reference Figure 13 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 14 is Figure 13 a partial schematic diagram of Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the centers of four adjacent second sub-pixels 12 can form a third virtual quadrilateral 10i. The third virtual quadrilateral 10i includes a first side to a fourth side connected in sequence. Among them, the lengths of the opposite first side and third side are not equal, and the lengths of the opposite second side and fourth side are not equal. The third virtual quadrilateral 10i includes a first vertex to a fourth vertex. Two second sub-pixels 12 located at the opposite first vertex and third vertex are respectively located at the same positions of two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b in the same row, and two second sub-pixels 12 located at the opposite second vertex and fourth vertex are respectively located at the same positions of two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b in the same column.

[0081] In this embodiment, the centers of four adjacent second sub-pixels 12 form a third virtual quadrilateral 10i. Two second sub-pixels 12 at two opposite vertices in the third virtual quadrilateral 10i are respectively located at the same positions of two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b in the column direction, and the remaining two second sub-pixels 12 at two opposite vertices are respectively located at the same positions of two adjacent first virtual parallelograms 10b in the row direction.

[0082] In the third virtual quadrilateral 10i, the lengths of two opposite sides are not equal. Therefore, the pitch of adjacent pixel repeating units 10 in the row direction or column direction can be flexibly designed, so as to adjust the pitch between the first sub-pixels 11 and the second sub-pixels 12, so as to solve the problem of light leakage between sub-pixels of different emission colors.

[0083] Optionally, the lengths of the first side and the second side are equal, and the lengths of the third side and the fourth side are equal.

[0084] In the third virtual quadrilateral 10i, the first side and the second side are adjacent and have equal lengths, both being L3, and the third side and the fourth side are adjacent and have equal lengths, both being L4.

[0085] Optionally, the areas of the second virtual quadrilateral 10h and the third virtual quadrilateral 10i are the same. Among them, optionally, L1 = L4 and L2 = L3.

[0086] By designing the arrangement of the first sub-pixels or the second sub-pixels, the pitch between the first sub-pixels and the second sub-pixels is relatively large, and the contact between them is small, which can improve the problem of light leakage between sub-pixels. Moreover, the arrangement of the first sub-pixels or the second sub-pixels in the row direction or column direction can be flexibly designed to improve the jagged feeling of the first sub-pixels or the second sub-pixels during vertical line array display, and improve the display effect.

[0087] Reference Figure 15 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 15 As shown, optionally, one side of the first virtual parallelogram 10b is parallel to one side of the first virtual square 10a.

[0088] In this embodiment, the first virtual parallelogram 10b includes two sides extending in the first direction and also includes two sides extending in the third direction, where the third direction intersects the first direction and is not perpendicular. The first virtual square 10a includes two sides extending in the first direction and also includes two sides extending in the second direction, where the second direction intersects the first direction and is perpendicular.

[0089] Adopting such pixel arrangement is conducive to the uniform distribution of the first sub-pixel 11, the second sub-pixel 12, and the third sub-pixel 13 along the first direction, and can reduce the process manufacturing difficulty and weaken the jagged feeling of straight-line display in the first direction.

[0090] Reference Figure 16 shown is a schematic diagram of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 16 shown, it is optional that the first virtual parallelogram 10b includes two adjacent sides, one of which is parallel to the row direction and the other intersects the column direction, and the row direction intersects the column direction.

[0091] In this embodiment, it is optional that the first direction is the row direction, the second direction is the column direction, and the third direction intersects the first direction and is not perpendicular. The opposite two sides of the first virtual parallelogram 10b extend along the row direction. Adopting such pixel arrangement is conducive to the uniform distribution of the first sub-pixel 11, the second sub-pixel 12, and the third sub-pixel 13 along the row direction or the column direction, and can reduce the process manufacturing difficulty and weaken the jagged feeling of straight-line display in the row direction or the column direction.

[0092] Optionally, in the column direction, the center distance range between adjacent first sub-pixels 11 and second sub-pixels 12 is PP / 32 to PP / 8; where PP is the center distance between two first sub-pixels 11 at the same position in two adjacent pixel repeating units 10 along the column direction.

[0093] As described above, along the column direction, the position of the first sub-pixel 11a in the previous pixel repeating unit 10 is the same as the position of the first sub-pixel 11b in the next pixel repeating unit 10. For the center distance PP between the first sub-pixel 11a and the first sub-pixel 11b, then in the column direction, the center distance range between adjacent first sub-pixels 11 and second sub-pixels 12 is PP / 32 to PP / 8.

[0094] Adopting the above pixel arrangement, the pixel pitch between the first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12 is large and the contact is less, which can reduce the problem of light stealing between the first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12 and improve the display effect.

[0095] As Figure 16As shown, the optional first virtual square 10a includes two adjacent sides, one of which is parallel to the row direction and the other is parallel to the column direction, and the row direction intersects with the column direction. With this pixel arrangement, the geometric centers of the third sub-pixels 13 in a row are located on the same straight line in the row direction, reducing the jaggedness of the straight line display in the row direction; the geometric centers of the third sub-pixels 13 in a column are located on the same straight line in the column direction, reducing the jaggedness of the vertical line display in the column direction; and the display effect is improved.

[0096] For the display panel described in any of the above embodiments, the shapes of the optional first sub-pixel 11, second sub-pixel 12, and third sub-pixel 13 are quadrilaterals. In this embodiment, the shapes of the first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12 are quadrilaterals. Specifically, the shape of the light-emitting region of the first sub-pixel 11 is a quadrilateral, and the shape of the light-emitting region of the second sub-pixel 12 is a quadrilateral. By using a quadrilateral light-emitting region, the distance between the edges of the light-emitting regions of the sub-pixels of different light-emitting colors can be made relatively close, which is beneficial to better color mixing between the sub-pixels of different light-emitting colors in the pixel repeating unit 10.

[0097] The light-emitting colors of the optional first sub-pixel 11, second sub-pixel 12, and third sub-pixel 13 are respectively one of red, green, and blue. The light-emitting color of the optional third sub-pixel 13 is green. The human eye is more sensitive to green. By setting the third sub-pixel 13 to emit green light, and the centers of the four third sub-pixels 13 in the pixel repeating unit 10 form the first virtual square 10a, the geometric centers of the light-emitting regions of the green sub-pixels in a row are located on the same straight line, which can reduce the jaggedness in the row direction, and the geometric centers of the light-emitting regions of the green sub-pixels in a column are located on the same vertical line, which can reduce the jaggedness of the vertical line display in the column direction and improve the display effect.

[0098] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a display device, refer to Figure 17 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the display device provided by the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 17 shown, the display device 200 includes the display panel described in any of the above embodiments and has the same or corresponding beneficial effects as the display panel it includes.
