DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like to indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0032] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0033] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, terms such as "mounted," "connected," "connect," and "fixed" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed or detachable connections, or integration; mechanical or electrical connections, or communication; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0034] Currently, most silicon-based microdisplays are square in design. The pixels of square displays are arranged as follows: Figure 3 As shown in the figure, due to people's demand for colorful display screens, displays with various special-shaped edges such as round, curved, and elliptical may appear in our lives in the future. However, special-shaped edge displays are prone to problems such as jagged edges and color fringing. Figure 4 As shown, jagged edges 80' appear at the edges of the special-shaped edge display. In order to avoid jagged edges caused by blank spaces at the edges, three RGB sub-pixels 90' are also set in this area, such as Figure 5 As shown, the shape of the sub-pixel 90' is consistent with the edge of the display area. Since the heights of the three RGB colors are inconsistent, if the original RGB luminous areas are kept equal in width, the luminous areas of the three colors will be inconsistent. When the brightness of the three primary colors is unbalanced, the synthesized white color will be cast, affecting the display effect.

[0035] The present invention can effectively eliminate the problems of jagged edges, color edges, etc. at the irregular edges of the display area. Figure 1-Figure 2 The display panel 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0036] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the display area of the display panel 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a non-irregular display area 3 and an irregular display area 4.

[0037] The irregular display area 4 may include a first pixel group 1, which is used to display images or videos. The first pixel group 1 includes at least one irregular sub-pixel, which includes a irregular sub-pixel edge (such as the first irregular edge 111 and the second irregular edge 121 mentioned below). The irregular sub-pixel edge matches the irregular edge of the irregular display area 4 (i.e., the irregular display edge 101) to prevent edge jaggedness at the irregular edge of the irregular display area 4. In other words, the display panel 10 has a irregular display edge 101, which is divided into a portion of the irregular display area 4. The first pixel group 1 is disposed within the irregular display area 4, so that the irregular sub-pixel edge matches the irregular display edge 101, thereby eliminating problems such as jaggedness and color fringing at the irregular display edge 101.

[0038] The non-irregular display area 3 includes at least one second pixel group 2, which is used to display images or videos. The second pixel group 2 comprises a plurality of regular sub-pixels arranged to conform to the shape of the non-irregular display area 3, completely filling the non-irregular display area 3 and ensuring a good display quality.

[0039] The plurality of regular sub-pixels have the same shape and size. Optionally, the regular sub-pixels may be rectangular sub-pixels, square sub-pixels, etc.

[0040] According to the display panel 10 of an embodiment of the present invention, the first pixel group 1 can be set at least in the special-shaped display area 4 of the display panel 10 to eliminate problems such as serrations and color fringing at the special-shaped edges of the special-shaped display area 4, thereby eliminating problems such as serrations and color fringing at the special-shaped display edge 101 of the display panel 10.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, the edges of the irregular sub-pixels are parallel to the irregular edges of the irregular display area 4, thereby ensuring that the irregular sub-pixels can be arranged at the irregular edges of the irregular display area 4, thereby preventing edge jaggedness from occurring in the display area of the display panel 10.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1As shown, the first pixel group 1 may include: a first special-shaped sub-pixel 11 and a second special-shaped sub-pixel 12. The first special-shaped sub-pixel 11 and the second special-shaped sub-pixel 12 are arranged in sequence along the first direction F1. The maximum width of the first special-shaped sub-pixel 11 in the first direction F1 is greater than the maximum width of the second special-shaped sub-pixel 12 in the first direction F1. The maximum length of the first special-shaped sub-pixel 11 in the second direction F2 is less than the maximum length of the second special-shaped sub-pixel 12 in the second direction F2.

[0043] It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first direction F1 is Figure 1-Figure 2 The horizontal direction in the second direction F2 is Figure 1-Figure 2 The vertical direction in .

[0044] For example, Figure 1 In the horizontal right direction, the first irregular sub-pixel 11 and the second irregular sub-pixel 12 are arranged in sequence, the maximum widths of the first irregular sub-pixel 11 and the second irregular sub-pixel 12 gradually decrease, and the maximum lengths of the first irregular sub-pixel 11 and the second irregular sub-pixel 12 gradually increase. Specifically, Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the maximum length of the first irregular sub-pixel 11 is h1 and the maximum width is a1, and the maximum length of the second irregular sub-pixel 12 is h2 and the maximum width is a2. h1, h2, a1, and a2 satisfy the relationship: h1<h2, a1>a2.

[0045] Furthermore, the light emitting areas of the first irregular-shaped sub-pixel 11 and the second irregular-shaped sub-pixel 12 are equal. Figure 1 As shown, if h1<h2, then a1>a2, thereby ensuring that the light-emitting areas of the first irregular-shaped sub-pixel 11 and the second irregular-shaped sub-pixel 12 are equal.

[0046] Optionally, the first irregular-shaped sub-pixel 11 and the second irregular-shaped sub-pixel 12 emit different colors of light.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 As shown, the first pixel group 1 may further include a third regular sub-pixel 13, a first irregular sub-pixel 11, a second irregular sub-pixel 12 and a third regular sub-pixel 13 arranged in sequence along the first direction F1, the maximum width of the third regular sub-pixel 13 in the first direction F1 is smaller than the maximum widths of the first irregular sub-pixel 11 and the second irregular sub-pixel 12 in the first direction F1, and the maximum length of the third regular sub-pixel 13 in the second direction F2 is greater than the maximum lengths of the first irregular sub-pixel 11 and the second irregular sub-pixel 12 in the second direction F2.

[0048] For example, Figure 1In the horizontal right direction, the first irregular sub-pixel 11, the second irregular sub-pixel 12, and the third regular sub-pixel 13 are arranged in sequence, and the maximum widths of the first irregular sub-pixel 11, the second irregular sub-pixel 12, and the third regular sub-pixel 13 gradually decrease, while the maximum lengths of the first irregular sub-pixel 11, the second irregular sub-pixel 12, and the third regular sub-pixel 13 gradually increase. Specifically, Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the first irregular-shaped sub-pixel 11 has a maximum length of h1 and a maximum width of a1, the second irregular-shaped sub-pixel 12 has a maximum length of h2 and a maximum width of a2, and the third regular sub-pixel 13 has a maximum length of h3 and a maximum width of a3. h1, h2, h3, a1, a2, and a3 satisfy the relationship: h1 < h2 < h3, a1 > a2 > a3.

[0049] In some embodiments not shown in the figures, if h1, h2, and h3 are not completely equal, then a1, a2, and a3 are not completely equal. For example, if h1<h2=h3, then a1>a2=a3.

[0050] Furthermore, the light emitting areas of the first irregular-shaped sub-pixel 11, the second irregular-shaped sub-pixel 12 and the third regular sub-pixel 13 are equal. Figure 1 As shown, if h1<h2<h3, then a1>a2>a3, thereby ensuring that the light-emitting areas of the first irregular-shaped sub-pixel 11, the second irregular-shaped sub-pixel 12, and the third regular sub-pixel 13 are equal.

[0051] Optionally, the first irregular-shaped sub-pixel 11 , the second irregular-shaped sub-pixel 12 , and the third regular sub-pixel 13 emit light of different colors.

[0052] Combine Figure 1 As shown, at least two of the first irregular-shaped sub-pixel 11, the second irregular-shaped sub-pixel 12, and the third regular sub-pixel 13 have different structures, so that the first pixel group 1 meets the display requirements of the irregular-shaped display area 4. Specifically, the maximum lengths of the first irregular-shaped sub-pixel 11, the second irregular-shaped sub-pixel 12, and the third regular sub-pixel 13 are adapted to adapt to the irregular edges of the irregular-shaped display area 4 to prevent edge jaggedness at the irregular edges of the irregular-shaped display area 4.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 2As shown, the display panel 10 further includes a filter layer. The first pixel group 1 may include a first special-shaped sub-pixel 11 and a second special-shaped sub-pixel 12. The first special-shaped sub-pixel 11 and the second special-shaped sub-pixel 12 are arranged in sequence along a first direction F1. The maximum width of the first special-shaped sub-pixel 11 in the first direction F1 is equal to the maximum width of the second special-shaped sub-pixel 12 in the first direction F1. The maximum length of the first special-shaped sub-pixel 11 in the second direction F2 is less than the maximum length of the second special-shaped sub-pixel 12 in the second direction F2. The filter layer includes a first special-shaped sub-pixel 11 and a second special-shaped sub-pixel 12. A special-shaped sub-pixel filter 51 and a second special-shaped sub-pixel filter 52, the first special-shaped sub-pixel filter 51 corresponds to the first special-shaped sub-pixel 11, the second special-shaped sub-pixel filter 52 corresponds to the second special-shaped sub-pixel 12, the maximum width of the first special-shaped sub-pixel filter 51 in the first direction F1 is greater than the maximum width of the second special-shaped sub-pixel filter 52 in the first direction F1, and the maximum length of the first special-shaped sub-pixel filter 51 in the second direction F2 is less than the maximum length of the second special-shaped sub-pixel filter 52 in the second direction F2.

[0054] For example, Figure 2 In the horizontal rightward direction, the first irregular sub-pixel 11 and the second irregular sub-pixel 12 are arranged in sequence. The maximum widths of the first irregular sub-pixel 11 and the second irregular sub-pixel 12 are equal, and the maximum lengths of the first irregular sub-pixel 11 and the second irregular sub-pixel 12 gradually increase. The maximum widths of the first irregular sub-pixel filter 51 and the second irregular sub-pixel filter 52 gradually decrease, and the maximum lengths of the first irregular sub-pixel filter 51 and the second irregular sub-pixel filter 52 gradually increase.

[0055] Furthermore, the areas of the first special-shaped sub-pixel filter 51 and the second special-shaped sub-pixel filter 52 are equal.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 2As shown, the first pixel group 1 further includes a third regular sub-pixel 13, and the first irregular sub-pixel 11, the second irregular sub-pixel 12 and the third regular sub-pixel 13 are arranged in sequence along the first direction F1. The maximum widths of the first irregular sub-pixel 11, the second irregular sub-pixel 12 and the third regular sub-pixel 13 in the first direction F1 are all equal, and the maximum length of the third regular sub-pixel 13 in the second direction F2 is greater than the maximum lengths of the first irregular sub-pixel 11 and the second irregular sub-pixel 12 in the second direction F2. The filter layer further includes a third regular sub-pixel filter 53, which corresponds to the third regular sub-pixel 13. The maximum width of the third regular sub-pixel filter 53 in the first direction F1 is less than the maximum widths of the first irregular sub-pixel filter 51 and the second irregular sub-pixel filter 52 in the first direction F1, and the maximum length of the third regular sub-pixel filter 53 in the second direction F2 is greater than the maximum lengths of the first irregular sub-pixel filter 51 and the second irregular sub-pixel filter 52 in the second direction F2.

[0057] For example, Figure 2 In the horizontal rightward direction, the first irregular sub-pixel 11, the second irregular sub-pixel 12, and the third regular sub-pixel 13 are arranged in sequence. The maximum widths of the first irregular sub-pixel 11, the second irregular sub-pixel 12, and the third regular sub-pixel 13 are all equal, and the maximum lengths of the first irregular sub-pixel 11, the second irregular sub-pixel 12, and the third regular sub-pixel 13 gradually increase. The maximum widths of the first irregular sub-pixel filter 51, the second irregular sub-pixel filter 52, and the third regular sub-pixel filter 53 gradually decrease, and the maximum lengths of the first irregular sub-pixel filter 51, the second irregular sub-pixel filter 52, and the third regular sub-pixel filter 53 gradually increase.

[0058] Specifically, in Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the first irregular sub-pixel 11 has a maximum width of A1 and a maximum length of H1, the second irregular sub-pixel 12 has a maximum width of A2 and a maximum length of H2, and the third regular sub-pixel 13 has a maximum width of A3 and a maximum length of H3. The first irregular sub-pixel filter 51 has a width of b1 and a maximum length of H1, the second irregular sub-pixel filter 52 has a width of b2 and a maximum length of H2, and the third regular sub-pixel filter 53 has a width of b3 and a maximum length of H3. A1, A2, A3, H1, H2, H3, b1, b2, and b3 satisfy the following relationships: A1 = A2 = A3, H1 < H2 < H3, b1 > b2 > b3, b1 < A1, b2 < A2, and b3 < A3. In other words, the width of the filter is less than the opening width of the light-emitting area, and the maximum length of the filter is no less than the maximum length of the corresponding irregular sub-pixel.

[0059] Furthermore, the areas of the first irregular sub-pixel filter 51, the second irregular sub-pixel filter 52 and the third regular sub-pixel filter 53 are equal. Figure 2 As shown, A1=A2=A3, and if H1<H2<H3, then b1>b2>b3, so as to ensure that the light-emitting areas of the first irregular-shaped sub-pixel 11, the second irregular-shaped sub-pixel 12, and the third regular sub-pixel 13 are equal.

[0060] In some embodiments not shown, A1=A2=A3, and if H1, H2, and H3 are not completely equal, then b1, b2, and b3 are not completely equal. For example, if A1=A2=A3, H1<H2=H3, then b1>b2=b3.

[0061] Combine Figure 2 As shown, at least two of the first irregular sub-pixel filter 51, the second irregular sub-pixel filter 52, and the third regular sub-pixel filter 53 have different structures, so that the first pixel group 1 meets the display requirements of the irregular display area 4. Specifically, the maximum lengths of the first irregular sub-pixel filter 51, the second irregular sub-pixel filter 52, and the third regular sub-pixel filter 53 are adapted to adapt to the irregular edges of the irregular display area 4 to prevent edge jaggedness at the irregular edges of the irregular display area 4.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the length of the irregular edge of the first irregular sub-pixel 11 is greater than the maximum width of the first irregular sub-pixel 11 in the first direction F1, and the length of the irregular edge of the second irregular sub-pixel 12 is greater than the maximum width of the second irregular sub-pixel 12 in the first direction F1. This ensures that the irregular edges of the irregular sub-pixels are parallel to the irregular edges of the irregular display area 4.

[0063] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the irregular edge of the first irregular-shaped sub-pixel 11 is the first irregular-shaped edge 111, and the irregular edge of the second irregular-shaped sub-pixel 12 is the second irregular-shaped edge 121. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the length of the first irregular edge 111 is greater than the maximum width a1 of the first irregular sub-pixel 11 in the first direction F1, and the length of the second irregular edge 121 is greater than the maximum width a2 of the second irregular sub-pixel 12 in the first direction F1. Figure 2 In the embodiment, the length of the first irregular edge 111 is greater than the maximum width A1 of the first irregular sub-pixel 11 in the first direction F1, and the length of the second irregular edge 121 is greater than the maximum width A2 of the second irregular sub-pixel 12 in the first direction F1.

[0064] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, when the irregular display area 4 is a trapezoidal area, the irregular edges of the first irregular sub-pixel 11 and the second irregular sub-pixel 12 follow the shape of the trapezoidal area's hypotenuse (i.e., their shapes match), ensuring uniform illumination in that area without color cast or jagged edges. The first irregular edge 111 and the second irregular edge 121 are adapted to be parallel to the edge of the irregular display area 4. In a specific embodiment, the pixel edges of the first irregular sub-pixel 11 and the second irregular sub-pixel 12 can also be as close as possible to the edge of the irregular display area 4 to prevent the absence of pixels at the edge of the irregular display area 4.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the second pixel group 2 may include: a fourth regular sub-pixel 21, a fifth regular sub-pixel 22, and a sixth regular sub-pixel 23. The fourth regular sub-pixel 21, the fifth regular sub-pixel 22, and the sixth regular sub-pixel 23 have the same maximum width in the first direction F1, and the fourth regular sub-pixel 21, the fifth regular sub-pixel 22, and the sixth regular sub-pixel 23 have the same maximum length in the second direction F2. In other words, the fourth regular sub-pixel 21, the fifth regular sub-pixel 22, and the sixth regular sub-pixel 23 have the same shape and size.

[0066] The luminous colors of the first irregular sub-pixel 11, the second irregular sub-pixel 12, the third regular sub-pixel 13, the fourth regular sub-pixel 21, the fifth regular sub-pixel 22, and the sixth regular sub-pixel 23 are formed by covering the corresponding sub-pixels with filters of corresponding colors. For example, the luminous color of the first irregular sub-pixel 11 is formed by covering the first irregular sub-pixel 11 with the first irregular sub-pixel filter 51, the luminous color of the second irregular sub-pixel 12 is formed by covering the second irregular sub-pixel 12 with the second irregular sub-pixel filter 52, and the luminous color of the third regular sub-pixel 13 is formed by covering the third regular sub-pixel 13 with the third regular sub-pixel filter 53.

[0067] In a specific embodiment, the first irregular sub-pixel 11 and the fourth regular sub-pixel 21 are sub-pixels with the same luminous color, the second irregular sub-pixel 12 and the fifth regular sub-pixel 22 are sub-pixels with the same luminous color, and the third regular sub-pixel 13 and the sixth regular sub-pixel 23 are sub-pixels with the same luminous color.

[0068] Optionally, the first irregular sub-pixel 11 and the fourth regular sub-pixel 21 emit the first color of the three primary colors (BGR, blue, green, and red), the second irregular sub-pixel 12 and the fifth regular sub-pixel 22 emit the second color of the three primary colors, and the third regular sub-pixel 13 and the sixth regular sub-pixel 23 emit the third color of the three primary colors. That is, the first irregular sub-pixel 11, the second irregular sub-pixel 12, and the third regular sub-pixel 13 emit the three primary colors. Thus, when the luminous areas of the first irregular sub-pixel 11, the second irregular sub-pixel 12, and the third regular sub-pixel 13 are equal, the light emitted by the first pixel group 1 is guaranteed to be white, avoiding color cast and thus color fringing. The fourth regular sub-pixel 21, the fifth regular sub-pixel 22, and the sixth regular sub-pixel 23 emit the three primary colors. Thus, when the luminous areas of the fourth regular sub-pixel 21, the fifth regular sub-pixel 22, and the sixth regular sub-pixel 23 are equal, the light emitted by the second pixel group 2 is guaranteed to be white, avoiding color cast.

[0069] Optionally, the first irregular sub-pixel 11 and the fourth regular sub-pixel 21 are blue light sub-pixels, and the luminous color is blue; the second irregular sub-pixel 12 and the fifth regular sub-pixel 22 are green light sub-pixels, and the luminous color is green; the third regular sub-pixel 13 and the sixth regular sub-pixel 23 are red light sub-pixels, and the luminous color is red.

[0070] For a display panel 10 having a special-shaped display edge 101, the display panel 10 can be divided into a non-special-shaped display area 3 and a special-shaped display area 4 according to the shape of the special-shaped display edge 101. The special-shaped display edge 101 is located in the special-shaped display area 4, and the first pixel group 1 is arranged in the special-shaped display area 4. At the position where the first pixel group 1 contacts the special-shaped edge of the special-shaped display area 4, the shape of the first pixel group 1 is conformal to (or parallel to) the special-shaped edge of the special-shaped display area 4. This ensures that the display effect at the special-shaped edge of the special-shaped display area 4 is the same as the display effect in the center area and the display effect in the non-special-shaped display area 3, eliminating the jagged effect. In some optional embodiments, the "special-shaped display edge 101" mentioned here can refer to a display edge of various shapes, such as a circle, an arc-shaped edge, an ellipse, etc.

[0071] Of course, the first pixel group 1 may also be arranged in the non-irregular display area 3 .

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, an encapsulation layer is disposed outside the first pixel group 1 and the second pixel group 2. In other words, the first pixel group 1 and the second pixel group 2 are both located within the encapsulation layer, thereby ensuring that the display panel 10 has good corrosion resistance and is conducive to improving the service life of the display panel 10.

[0073] A display device according to another embodiment of the present invention includes the display panel 10 of the above embodiment. By providing the above display panel 10, the problems of aliasing and color fringing during display can be eliminated, thereby ensuring that the display device has a better display effect.
