[0002] OLED display technology has rapidly increased its market share of display devices due to its wide color gamut, fast response speed, wide viewing angle, and flexibility. However, with the rapid development of products in the fields of mobile phones, wearables, VR, and the challenges of future micro LED display technology, it is necessary to design and produce higher quality and higher resolution OLED display devices. The luminescent materials of each sub-pixel of OLED are evaporated on the position of the corresponding color sub-pixel on the array substrate through a precision metal mask (FMM). At present, as people's requirements for the resolution of display devices become higher and higher, the requirements for pixel arrangement structures and precision metal masks used to form the light-emitting layer are also getting higher and higher. However, for high-resolution OLED, the fine metal mask (FMM) is one of the key technologies that restrict its development. The production of FMM for evaporation becomes more and more difficult as the pixel density (ppi) increases. At the same time, due to the increase in ppi, the distance between the sub-pixel luminous areas becomes smaller and smaller, and the probability of poor color mixing will also increase.

[0033] The scheme of the present invention will be explained below in conjunction with embodiments. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the following embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the present invention. Where specific techniques or conditions are not indicated in the embodiments, the techniques or conditions described in the literature in this area or the product specifications are followed.
[0034] In one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a display panel. Figure 1The display panel includes a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array, the pixel units include a first pixel unit 11 and a second pixel unit 12, the first pixel unit 11 is located in an odd column, and the second pixel unit 12 is located in an even column (the figure takes the first pixel unit 11 being located in an odd column and the second pixel unit 12 being located in an even column as an example), or the first pixel unit is located in an even column, the second pixel unit is located in an odd column, and the first pixel unit 11 and the second pixel unit 12 are centrally symmetric about a first straight line X, wherein the pixel unit includes two first color sub-pixels 21, one second color sub-pixel 22 and one third color sub-pixel 23 (that is, in the entire display panel, the number ratio of the first color sub-pixels, the second color sub-pixels and the third color sub-pixels is 2:1:1), and the two first color sub-pixels 21 share one second color sub-pixel 22 and one third color sub-pixel 23 to form two sub-pixel units. Therefore, by utilizing the sub-pixel borrowing principle, the second color sub-pixel and the third color sub-pixel in each pixel unit in the display panel are shared by two first color sub-pixels (Sub-Pixel Rendering (SPR) technology), which can effectively improve the resolution and effectively make up for the partial picture loss caused by fewer sub-pixels, which is beneficial to improving the display effect.
[0035] It should be noted that, refer to Figure 1 The first pixel unit 11 and the second pixel unit 12 are centrally symmetrical about the first straight line X. There are two situations in which the first straight line x, the axis of symmetry between two adjacent first pixel units and second pixel units, is centrally symmetrical, and the first straight lines x of the two situations intersect.
[0036] According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , the first pixel unit 11 is an inverted triangle, and the second pixel unit 12 is an equilateral triangle. This is conducive to the reasonable layout of multiple pixel units, and more pixel units are sequentially arranged in a certain space to improve the resolution of the display panel. In some embodiments, the projections of the first pixel unit 11 and the second pixel unit 12 adjacent to each other in the same row in the column direction at least partially overlap. This can further improve the resolution of the display panel, especially when the first pixel unit and the second pixel unit are inverted triangles and equilateral triangles, respectively.

[0037] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "equilateral triangle" does not specifically refer to an equilateral triangle, but is relative to an "inverted triangle". The above-mentioned equilateral triangle and inverted triangle may be an equilateral triangle, an isosceles triangle or an irregular triangle, and those skilled in the art may flexibly design according to actual conditions.
[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , two first color sub-pixels 21 and one third color sub-pixel 23 in the same pixel unit are respectively located at three corners of a triangle.

Thus, the above arrangement can realize the centrosymmetric arrangement of the first pixel unit and the second pixel unit.
[0040] According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 In the pixel units located in the same row, the line connecting the geometric centers of all the second color sub-pixels 22 is the first fold line 221, and the line connecting the geometric centers of all the third color sub-pixels 23 is the second fold line 231, and the first fold line 221 intersects the second fold line 231. Thus, the reasonable layout of each pixel can be effectively achieved, and the pixel arrangement density can be improved.
[0041] According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 , in two pixel units located in the same row, the first pixel unit 11 is defined as a line connecting the geometric center of one first color sub-pixel 21 and the geometric center of the second color sub-pixel 22 as the first line 201, and the second pixel unit 12 is defined as a line connecting the geometric center of one first color sub-pixel 21 and the geometric center of the second color sub-pixel 22 as the second line 202, and the other line connecting the geometric center of the first color sub-pixel 21 and the geometric center of the second color sub-pixel 22 as the third line 203, wherein the first line 201 and the second line 202 are parallel to each other, and the first line 201 and the third line 203 intersect. It should be noted that the above-mentioned "intersection" can refer to the direct intersection of two lines, or the intersection through an extended line, for example, the intersection of the above-mentioned first line 201 and the third line 203 refers to the intersection of the extended lines of the first line 201 and the third line 203.
[0042] According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4, in two pixel units located in the same row, the line connecting the geometric center of one of the first color sub-pixels 21 and the geometric center of the third color sub-pixel 23 in the first pixel unit 11 is defined as the fourth line 204, and the line connecting the geometric center of one of the first color sub-pixels 21 and the geometric center of the third color sub-pixel 23 in the second pixel unit 12 is defined as the fifth line 205, and the line connecting the geometric center of the other first color sub-pixel 21 and the geometric center of the third color sub-pixel 23 is defined as the sixth line 206, wherein the fourth line 204 and the fifth line 205 are parallel to each other, and the fourth line 204 and the sixth line 206 intersect. Similarly, it should be noted that the above-mentioned "intersection" can refer to the direct intersection of two lines, or the intersection through an extended line, for example, the intersection of the above-mentioned fourth line 204 and the sixth line 206 refers to the intersection of the extended lines of the fourth line 204 and the sixth line 206.

In some specific embodiments, referring to Figure 6 , the light-emitting layer in a first color sub-pixel in the second pixel unit in the i-th row and j-th column is an integrated structure with the light-emitting layer in a first color sub-pixel in the first sub-pixel unit in the i+1-th row and j-1-th column, and the light-emitting layer in another first color sub-pixel in the second pixel unit in the i-th row and j-th column is an integrated structure with the light-emitting layer in the first color sub-pixel in the first sub-pixel unit in the i+1-th row and j+1-th column. As a result, not only the arrangement of the first color sub-pixels can be better arranged, but also when the light-emitting layers of the two adjacent first color sub-pixels are evaporated, they can be evaporated through an opening of the FMM, thereby reducing the difficulty of manufacturing the FMM.
[0044] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first color sub-pixel, the second color sub-pixel and the third color sub-pixel all have a symmetry axis, which is not only convenient for the manufacture of FMM, but also beneficial for the evaporation of sub-pixels and the uniformity of the light emission of the display panel, and also beneficial for the arrangement of each sub-pixel to increase pixel density.

Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the specific shapes of the three color sub-pixels according to the specific requirements for the opening ratios (or area ratios) of different sub-pixels and the actual conditions such as the arrangement requirements between sub-pixels.
[0046] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first color sub-pixel is a green sub-pixel, the second color sub-pixel is a blue sub-pixel, and the third color sub-pixel is a red sub-pixel.
