[0068] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and advantages to be solved by the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the following will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0069] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display substrate, an organic electroluminescent display panel, a high-precision metal mask plate, and a display device, which can improve the resolution of the display device.

[0070] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display substrate, which includes a plurality of first sub-pixels, a plurality of second sub-pixels, and a plurality of third sub-pixels.

[0071] In a first direction, the first sub-pixels and the third sub-pixels are alternately arranged to form a plurality of first sub-pixel rows, the second sub-pixels form a plurality of second sub-pixel rows, the first sub-pixel rows and the second sub-pixel rows are alternately arranged in a second direction. The center line connecting two first sub-pixels and two third sub-pixels in two adjacent rows and two columns is a first virtual quadrilateral. The two first sub-pixels are located at two opposite vertices of the first virtual quadrilateral, the second sub-pixel is located inside the first virtual quadrilateral, the first virtual quadrilateral includes two 90° interior angles and two non-90° interior angles, and the two non-90° interior angles include a first interior angle and a second interior angle.

[0072] For the same first virtual quadrilateral, the distance between the center of the first sub-pixel at the first inner angle and the center of the third sub-pixel at the second inner angle on the first straight line is x. The first straight line is perpendicular to the common side of the two 90° inner angles. The value range of the first inner angle a is (h - 10°, h + 10°), and h is calculated using one of the following formulas:

[0073]

[0074]

[0075] Where P is the distance between the centers of the two closest second sub-pixels in the second sub-pixel row.

[0076] The above formulas are approximate equal relationships. That is, the angle of a can have a certain deviation. For example, it can float up and down 10° based on the calculated result h, or float up and down 5° based on the calculated result h.

[0077] P is the approximate distance between the centers of two adjacent second sub-pixels. The second sub-pixels in the second sub-pixel row can be evenly distributed, that is, the distance between every two adjacent second sub-pixels is approximately equal, or there can be a certain deviation, such as a difference less than 5 microns. Here, P can also be the average distance between the spacings of adjacent second sub-pixels in the same sub-pixel row. In addition, P is also approximately equal to the distance between the center of the first sub-pixel and the center of the adjacent third sub-pixel in the same row, such as a difference less than 5 microns.

And, the second sub-pixels are staggered, so that in the case of the same aperture ratio, the distance between the openings of the fine metal mask plate used to manufacture the second sub-pixels can be increased, improving the manufacturing margin of the fine metal mask plate and achieving a higher resolution; in addition, by staggering the arrangement of the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel, the distribution of the brightness center can be made more uniform, improving the display effect of the display device.

In this way, the green sub-pixel located in the first virtual quadrilateral can form a light-emitting pixel point with the red sub-pixel and the blue sub-pixel located at any two adjacent corners of the first virtual quadrilateral.

[0168] In some embodiments, the first sub-pixel may be a green sub-pixel, the third sub-pixel may be a red sub-pixel, and the second sub-pixel may be a blue sub-pixel; or the first sub-pixel may be a green sub-pixel, the third sub-pixel may be a blue sub-pixel, and the second sub-pixel may be a red sub-pixel.

[0169] Optionally, in the display substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the areas of the first sub-pixels are the same, thereby ensuring that the light-emitting areas of the first sub-pixels are the same in any light-emitting pixel point composed of the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel.

[0172] Of course, in a specific implementation, in the display substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the areas of at least two second sub-pixels may be different, which is not limited here.

[0173] Optionally, in the display substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the areas of the third sub-pixels are the same, thereby ensuring that the light-emitting areas of the third sub-pixels are the same in any light-emitting pixel point composed of the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel.

[0174] Of course, in a specific implementation, in the display substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the areas of at least two third sub-pixels may be different, which is not limited here.

[0175] In some embodiments, the area of a single first sub-pixel is S, the area of a single second color sub-pixel is f*S, and the area of a single third color sub-pixel is g*S, where 0.5≤f≤0.8, 1≤g≤2.2. This can make the brightness center distribution of any luminous pixel point composed of the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel more uniform, thereby improving the display effect.

[0176] Furthermore, since the blue sub-pixel has a relatively low luminous efficiency and a short lifespan, optionally, in the display substrate provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the area of the blue sub-pixel can be designed to be larger than the areas of the red sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel.

[0177] Further, in the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the luminous efficiency of the green sub-pixels is generally high, the area of the green sub-pixels can be set to be smaller than the area of the red sub-pixels. Of course, in specific implementation, the area of the green sub-pixels can also be the same as the area of the red sub-pixels, which is not limited herein.

[0178] To ensure that for the same type of pixel during preparation, the mask pattern can be consistent, thereby simplifying the lithography process.

In actual processes, due to process condition limitations or other factors, there may be some deviations. Therefore, as long as the shapes, positions, and relative positional relationships of the sub-pixels generally meet the above conditions, they all belong to the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0186] It should be noted that the inconsistent patterns of the sub-pixels mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure refer to the inconsistent shapes of the sub-pixels. For example, one is circular and the other is rectangular. On the contrary, the consistent patterns of the sub-pixels mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure refer to the similar or identical shapes of the sub-pixels. For example, the shapes of two sub-pixels are both triangular, and regardless of whether their areas are equal, it is considered that the shapes of the two sub-pixels are consistent.

[0187] In some embodiments, the shapes of the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel include any one of a polygon, a circle, or an ellipse.

[0188] In some embodiments,

[0190] It should be noted that in the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, when it is mentioned that a sub-pixel is located at a certain position, it refers to the position range where the sub-pixel is located, as long as it is ensured that the sub-pixel overlaps with this position. In specific implementation, the center of the sub-pixel can overlap with this position. Of course, the center of the sub-pixel can also not overlap with this position, that is, there is an offset between the two, which is not limited here. And the center of the sub-pixel can be the geometric center of the sub-pixel pattern or the center of the light-emitting color of the sub-pixel, which is not limited here.

[0191] Optionally, in the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to ensure that the sub-pixels are evenly distributed, try to make the centers of the sub-pixels close to the corresponding positions.

[0195] As Figure 2 shown, in each first virtual quadrilateral T, the distance between the edge of the second sub-pixel 02 and the edge of the adjacent first sub-pixel 01 may be L1 on average, and the distance between the edge of the second sub-pixel 02 and the edge of the adjacent third sub-pixel 03 may be L1 on average.

[0196] As Figure 3 shown, in each first virtual quadrilateral T, the distance between the edge of the second sub-pixel 02 and the edge of the adjacent first sub-pixel 01 may be L1 on average, the distance between the edge of the second sub-pixel 02 and the edge of one adjacent third sub-pixel 03 may be L1, and the distance between the edge of the second sub-pixel 02 and the edge of the other adjacent third sub-pixel 03 may be L2.

[0197] As Figure 4 shown, in each first virtual quadrilateral T, the distance between the edge of the second sub-pixel 02 and the edge of the adjacent third sub-pixel 03 may be L1 on average, the distance between the edge of the second sub-pixel 02 and the edge of one adjacent first sub-pixel 01 may be L1, and the distance between the edge of the second sub-pixel 02 and the edge of the other adjacent first sub-pixel 01 may be L2.

[0198] As Figure 5 shown, in each first virtual quadrilateral T, the distance between the edge of the second sub-pixel 02 and the edge of the adjacent first sub-pixel 01 may be L1 on average, and the distance between the edge of the second sub-pixel 02 and the edge of the adjacent third sub-pixel 03 may be L2 on average.

[0199] As shown Figures 2 - 5 in the figure, the center of the second sub-pixel 02 is not at the intersection position of the two diagonals of the first virtual quadrilateral T. Among them, the diagonal of the first virtual quadrilateral T is the center connection line of the first sub-pixel 01 and the third sub-pixel 03 that are opposite to each other within the first virtual quadrilateral T. That is to say, the distances from the center of the second sub-pixel 02 to the centers of two adjacent first sub-pixels 01 are not equal, and the distances from the center of the second sub-pixel 02 to the centers of two adjacent third sub-pixels 03 are not equal.

[0200] Among them, the edge of the sub-pixel is the edge of the light-emitting area of the sub-pixel, and the center of the sub-pixel is the center of the light-emitting area of the sub-pixel.

[0201] Four adjacent first virtual quadrilaterals T are arranged in two columns and two rows to form a large virtual polygon (i.e., the largest solid line frame in Figure 2 ), that is, the second virtual polygon. The first sub-pixel 01 is located at the center position and the four vertex positions of the second virtual polygon, and the third sub-pixel 03 is located at the midpoint positions of the sides of the second virtual polygon. The second virtual polygon can be a virtual square.

[0202] As shown Figure 6 in the figure, the second virtual polygon includes two first virtual quadrilaterals T adjacent in the column direction. The length of the first side of the first first virtual quadrilateral T in the column direction is P1, and the length of the second side of the second first virtual quadrilateral T in the column direction is P2. The first side and the second side are on the same straight line, P1 is less than P2, and P1 + P2 = P3; the length of the third side of the first first virtual quadrilateral T in the column direction is P2, and the length of the fourth side of the second first virtual quadrilateral T in the column direction is P1. The third side and the fourth side are on the same straight line, P1 is less than P2, and P1 + P2 = P3; the distance between the centers of adjacent first sub-pixels 01 and third sub-pixels 03 can be P3 / 2.

[0203] Through the above pixel arrangement method, the distribution of the brightness center 04 of the light-emitting pixel points composed of the first sub-pixel 01, the second sub-pixel 02, and the third sub-pixel 03 can be made more uniform, and the display effect of the display device can be improved.

[0204] And as shown Figures 2 - 6 in the figure, staggering the arrangement of the second sub-pixel 02 can increase the manufacturing margin of the metal mask plate; in this way, when the aperture ratio is the same, the distance D between the mask plate openings (corresponding to the smallest solid line frame surrounding the second sub-pixel 02) for manufacturing the second sub-pixel 02 can be increased, improving the manufacturing margin of the metal mask plate and achieving a higher resolution.

[0205] As shown Figure 6As shown, the second virtual polygon includes two first virtual quadrilaterals T adjacent in the column direction. In the first first virtual quadrilateral T, the distances from the edge of the second sub-pixel 02 to the edges of the adjacent first sub-pixel 01 or the third sub-pixel 03 can both be L1; in the second first virtual quadrilateral T, the distances from the edge of the second sub-pixel 02 to the edges of the adjacent first sub-pixel 01 or the third sub-pixel 03 can both be L1. The second sub-pixel 02 in the first first virtual quadrilateral T is different in shape from the second sub-pixel 02 in the second first virtual quadrilateral T, but they have equal areas.

[0206] As Figure 7 As shown, the second virtual polygon includes two first virtual quadrilaterals T adjacent in the column direction. In the first first virtual quadrilateral T, the distance from the edge of the second sub-pixel 02 to the edge of the adjacent first sub-pixel 01 can be L1, and the distance from the edge of the second sub-pixel 02 to the edge of the adjacent third sub-pixel 03 can be L2; in the second first virtual quadrilateral T, the distance from the edge of the second sub-pixel 02 to the edge of the adjacent first sub-pixel 01 can be L3, and the distance from the edge of the second sub-pixel 02 to the edge of the adjacent third sub-pixel 03 can be L4. Among them, L1 can be equal to L3, and L2 can be equal to L4, so that the two second sub-pixels 02 in the two first virtual quadrilaterals T adjacent in the column direction have the same shape.

[0207] As Figure 8 As shown, the second virtual polygon includes two first virtual quadrilaterals T adjacent in the column direction. In the first first virtual quadrilateral T, the distance from the center of the second sub-pixel 02 to the center of the adjacent first sub-pixel 01 can be R1, and the distance from the center of the second sub-pixel 02 to the center of the adjacent third sub-pixel 03 can be R3; in the second first virtual quadrilateral T, the distance from the center of the second sub-pixel 02 to the center of the adjacent first sub-pixel 01 can be R2, and the distance from the center of the second sub-pixel 02 to the center of the adjacent third sub-pixel 03 can be R4. Among them, R1 may not be equal to R2, and R3 may not be equal to R4.

[0208] In this embodiment, for two first virtual quadrilaterals T adjacent in the column direction, the angles of the acute angle a can be equal, but their positions are not adjacent in the column direction; for two first virtual quadrilaterals T adjacent in the row direction, the angles of the acute angle a can be equal.

[0209] As Figures 2 - 8As shown, the second virtual polygon includes two first virtual quadrilaterals T adjacent to each other in the column direction. In the first first virtual quadrilateral T, the length of the line connecting the centers of the two opposite first sub-pixels 01 is greater than the length of the line connecting the centers of the two opposite third sub-pixels 03; in the second first virtual quadrilateral T, the length of the line connecting the centers of the two opposite third sub-pixels 03 is greater than the length of the line connecting the centers of the two opposite first sub-pixels 01.

[0210] like Figure 9 As shown, in the column direction, the center lines of the second sub-pixels 02 are not on a straight line. This distribution is conducive to a more uniform distribution of the brightness center of the synthetic white point, which can improve the display effect of the display device, such as Figure 9 As shown, Z1 is the white point brightness center of the display substrate of this embodiment, and Z2 is the white point brightness center of the existing display substrate. It can be seen that in the two adjacent first virtual quadrilaterals T in the column direction, the position of the white point brightness center in the first first virtual quadrilateral T is offset to the lower right corner, and the position of the white point brightness center in the second first virtual quadrilateral T is offset to the lower left corner, which ultimately makes the synthetic white point brightness centers of the two adjacent first virtual quadrilaterals T closer to the same straight line. Compared with the existing solution, the distribution of the white point brightness centers of the display substrate of this embodiment is more uniform, and the display effect is better.

[0211] like Figure 9 As shown, the sub-pixels in the dotted box constitute a pixel repetition unit, including two first sub-pixels 01 and two third sub-pixels 03 located in the same first virtual quadrilateral, and also including four second sub-pixels 02 located in the same second virtual polygon as one of the two first sub-pixels 01 and surrounding the first sub-pixel.

[0212] In this embodiment, the shapes of the first sub-pixels 01 are all the same, and the shapes of the third sub-pixels 03 are all the same. The shape of the first sub-pixel 01 can be the same as the shape of the third sub-pixel 03 .

The display substrate may be any of the display substrates described above in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0215] Among them, when adjacent first virtual quadrilaterals share a side, one side of two adjacent first virtual quadrilaterals can be the same, but the shapes of two adjacent first virtual quadrilaterals can be different, for example, the sizes of interior angles can be different.

[0216] In some embodiments, the organic electroluminescent display panel further includes a pixel definition layer, the pixel definition layer includes a plurality of pixel definition layer openings, each of the first sub-pixels, each of the second sub-pixels, and each of the third sub-pixels respectively corresponds to a pixel definition layer opening, and the shapes of the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel are substantially the same as the shapes of the openings of the corresponding pixel definition layer.
