[0002] The present invention relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display panel and a display device. Background Art

[0003] With the development of science and technology and the progress of society, people are increasingly dependent on the exchange and transmission of information. Display devices, as the main carrier and material basis for information exchange and transmission, have become a hot topic for many scientists.

[0004] In order to realize functions such as video recording, it is often necessary to place a photosensitive element in the photosensitive element setting area of ​​the display panel. External ambient light can be transmitted to the photosensitive element through the photosensitive element setting area to realize functions such as video recording. The photosensitive element setting area can also display images to achieve full-screen display. In order to reduce the reflectivity of external ambient light, a polarizer is generally used in the display panel, but the transmittance of the polarizer is too low, which affects the brightness of the light reaching the photosensitive element. If the polarizer in the photosensitive element setting area is removed, the reflectivity of the photosensitive element setting area increases, affecting the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0010] A plurality of color resists and a black matrix are located on a side of the plurality of sub-pixels away from the base substrate, the black matrix surrounds and forms an opening, the vertical projection of the sub-pixels on the base substrate is located within at least a portion of the vertical projection of the opening on the base substrate, the vertical projection of the color resist on the base substrate overlaps with at least a portion of the vertical projection of the opening on the base substrate, and the color resists are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the sub-pixels;

[0011] Among them, the area of ​​the black matrix per unit area in the second display area is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the black matrix per unit area in the first display area, and the area of ​​the black matrix per unit area in the first display area is greater than the area of ​​the black matrix per unit area in the photosensitive element setting area.

[0012] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display device, comprising the display panel described in the first aspect.

[0013] In an embodiment of the present invention, the display panel includes a plurality of color resistors, and when the ambient light irradiates the sub-pixels in the display panel, the ambient light reflected by the sub-pixels is weakened after passing through the color resistors corresponding to the sub-pixels, thereby reducing the reflectivity of the light sensing element setting area. The display panel also includes a black matrix, and the black matrix does not overlap with the sub-pixels in a direction perpendicular to the substrate. When the ambient light irradiates the area outside the sub-pixels in the display panel, the ambient light reflected in at least part of the area can be absorbed by the black matrix, thereby reducing the reflectivity of the light sensing element setting area.

The area of ​​the black matrix per unit area in the first display area is larger than the area of ​​the black matrix per unit area in the photosensitive element setting area, that is, the graphic density of the black matrix in the first display area is larger than the graphic density of the black matrix in the photosensitive element setting area, thereby preventing too much black matrix from being set in the photosensitive element setting area, thereby increasing the brightness of light passing through the photosensitive element setting area.

[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a top view of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an enlarged structure of the S1 region in the middle. Figure 3 for Figure 1 Another enlarged structural diagram of the S1 region in the middle. Figure 4 For along Figure 2 AA' cross-sectional structure diagram, combined with reference Figure 1-Figure 4 The display panel includes a display area 100, the display area 100 includes a first display area 101, a second display area 102 and a light sensing element setting area 103, and the first display area 101 at least partially surrounds the second display area 102 ( Figure 1103. The second display area 102 surrounds the light sensing element setting area 103. The display panel includes a plurality of sub-pixels 20, a plurality of color resists 40 and a black matrix 30. The plurality of sub-pixels 20 are located in the display area 100 on one side of the substrate 10. The number of sub-pixels 20 per unit area in the light sensing element setting area 103 is less than the number of sub-pixels 20 per unit area in the first display area 101, that is, the sub-pixel density in the light sensing element setting area 103 is less than the sub-pixel density in the first display area 101, so that the area between adjacent sub-pixels 20 in the light sensing element setting area 103 can pass through the external ambient light, increasing the brightness of light passing through the light sensing element setting area 103. The plurality of color resists 40 and the black matrix 30 are located on the side of the plurality of sub-pixels 20 away from the substrate 10. The black matrix 30 surrounds the formation of an opening 310, and the opening 310 is an area where the black matrix 30 is not set. The opening 310 can be formed on the black matrix layer by a mask etching process, for example. The vertical projection of the sub-pixel 20 on the substrate 10 is located within the vertical projection of at least part of the opening 310 on the substrate 10, the vertical projection of the color resist 40 on the substrate 10 overlaps with the vertical projection of at least part of the opening 310 on the substrate 10, and the color resist 40 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the sub-pixel 20. In each embodiment of the present invention, at least part of the opening 310 refers to at least part of the openings 310 among the plurality of openings 310, for example, at least 10 openings 310 among 100 openings 310. Among them, the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the second display area 102 is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the first display area 101, and the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the first display area 101 is greater than the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the photosensitive element setting area 103.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present invention, the display panel includes a plurality of color resists 40. When the ambient light irradiates the sub-pixels 20 in the display panel, the ambient light reflected by the sub-pixels 20 is weakened after passing through the color resists 40 corresponding to the sub-pixels 20, thereby reducing the reflectivity of the light sensing element setting area 103. The display panel also includes a black matrix 30. In a direction perpendicular to the base substrate 10, the black matrix 30 does not overlap with the sub-pixels 20. When the ambient light irradiates the area outside the sub-pixels 20 in the display panel, the ambient light reflected in at least part of the area can be absorbed by the black matrix 30, thereby reducing the reflectivity of the light sensing element setting area 103. Furthermore, the embodiment of the present invention also sets the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the second display area 102 to be greater than or equal to the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the first display area 101, that is, the pattern density of the black matrix 30 in the second display area 102 is greater than the pattern density of the black matrix 30 in the first display area 101, so that the second display area 102 has a lower reflectivity than the first display area 101, so as to minimize the overall reflectivity of the display area 100. The area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the first display area 101 is greater than the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the photosensitive element setting area 103, that is, the pattern density of the black matrix 30 in the first display area 101 is greater than the pattern density of the black matrix 30 in the photosensitive element setting area 103, so as to prevent too many black matrices 30 from being set in the photosensitive element setting area 103, thereby increasing the brightness of light passing through the photosensitive element setting area 103.

[0037] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the second display area 102 is greater than the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the first display area 101. In other embodiments, the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the second display area 102 is equal to the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the first display area 101. It should be noted that the reflectivity of the first display area 101, the second display area 102 and the light sensing element setting area 103 is not only related to the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area, but also to other factors, such as the thickness of the black matrix 30, the reflectivity at the position of the opening 310, etc. Among them, the reflectivity at the position of the opening 310 may include, for example, the area and reflectivity of the metal film layer exposed by the opening 310, or the reflectivity of the non-metal film layer exposed by the opening 310.

[0038] For example, reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4, the number of sub-pixels 20 per unit area in the second display area 102 is equal to the number of sub-pixels 20 per unit area in the photosensitive element setting area 103. In the embodiment of the present invention, the sub-pixel density in the second display area 102 is equal to the sub-pixel density in the photosensitive element setting area 103. Therefore, when forming the sub-pixels 20, the second display area 102 and the photosensitive element setting area 103 have the same arrangement of sub-pixels 20, which reduces the difficulty of manufacturing the display panel. In other embodiments, the number of sub-pixels 20 per unit area in the second display area 102 can also be set to be less than the number of sub-pixels 20 per unit area in the first display area 101, and the number of sub-pixels 20 per unit area in the second display area 102 is greater than the number of sub-pixels 20 per unit area in the photosensitive element setting area 103, that is, the second display area 102 is used as a transition area for display, thereby optimizing the visual experience of the display area 100.

[0039] For example, reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the direction perpendicular to the base substrate 10, in the photosensitive element setting area 103, the area between adjacent black matrices 30 is a light-transmitting area. When the external ambient light is irradiated to the photosensitive element setting area 103, it can pass through the light-transmitting area in the photosensitive element setting area 103 and irradiate to the backlight side of the display panel.

[0040] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the black matrix 30 in the second display area 102 covers all areas outside the openings 310. In the embodiment of the present invention, in the second display area 102, sub-pixels 20 may be arranged in at least part of the openings 310, and all areas outside the openings 310 are completely covered with the black matrix 30, so that the reflectivity of the second display area 102 is minimized to reduce the overall reflectivity of the display area 100. In other embodiments, a plurality of separate black matrices 30 may be arranged in the second display area 102, and the area between adjacent black matrices 30 is a light-transmitting area.

[0041] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4, the display panel further includes a plurality of thin film transistors 60. The plurality of thin film transistors 60 include a first thin film transistor 601, the first thin film transistor 601 is located in the second display area 102, the first thin film transistor 601 is located between the black matrix 30 and the base substrate 10, and is electrically connected to the sub-pixel 20 in the photosensitive element setting area 103. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first thin film transistor 601 for driving the sub-pixel 20 in the photosensitive element setting area 103 is arranged in the second display area 102, thereby expanding the light transmission area in the photosensitive element setting area 103, and increasing the brightness of light passing through the photosensitive element setting area 103. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first thin film transistor 601 arranged in the second display area 102 is covered by the black matrix 30, and the external ambient light irradiated to the first thin film transistor 601 is absorbed by the black matrix 30, thereby avoiding the reflection of the external ambient light by the first thin film transistor 601, and reducing the overall reflectivity of the display area 100.

[0042] For example, reference Figure 3 , in order to illustrate the arrangement of the first thin film transistor 601 in the second display area 102, Figure 3 The black matrix 30 and other structures in the second display area 102 are omitted. The first thin film transistor 601 is disposed in the area outside the opening 310 in the second display area 102. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the arrangement of the first thin film transistor 601.

[0043] For example, reference Figure 3 The display panel also includes a first wiring 81 ( Figure 3 Only one first wiring 81 is used for illustration, which is not a limitation of the present invention. One end of the first wiring 81 is electrically connected to the first thin film transistor 601, and the other end of the first wiring 81 is electrically connected to the sub-pixel 20 of the light sensing element setting area 103. The transmittance of the first wiring 81 is greater than the first preset value. For example, the transmittance of the first wiring 81 is greater than 90%, 95% or 99%, that is, the first wiring 81 is a transparent wiring, thereby reducing the reflectivity of the first wiring 81 to the external ambient light in the light sensing element setting area 103.

[0044] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4, the plurality of thin film transistors 60 further include a second thin film transistor 602 and a third thin film transistor 603. The second thin film transistor 602 is located in the second display area 102 and is electrically connected to the sub-pixel 20 in the second display area 102. The third thin film transistor 603 is located in the first display area 101, the third thin film transistor 603 is located between the sub-pixel 20 in the first display area 101 and the base substrate 10, and the third thin film transistor 603 is electrically connected to the sub-pixel 20 in the first display area 101. The vertical projection areas of the first thin film transistor 601 and the second thin film transistor 602 on the base substrate 10 are both smaller than the vertical projection area of ​​the third thin film transistor 603 on the base substrate 10. Since the first thin film transistor 601 for driving the sub-pixel 20 in the light sensing element setting area 103 is set in the second display area 102, the second display area 102 includes the first thin film transistor 601 and the second thin film transistor 602. Therefore, in the implementation of the present invention, the sizes of the first thin film transistor 601 and the second thin film transistor 602 are reduced, so that the first thin film transistor 601 and the second thin film transistor 602 are arranged in a limited area of ​​the second display area 102, thereby reducing the difficulty of arranging the first thin film transistor 601 and the second thin film transistor 602. In other embodiments, the areas of the vertical projections of the first thin film transistor 601 and the second thin film transistor 602 on the base substrate 10 may be arranged to be equal to the area of ​​the vertical projection of the third thin film transistor 603 on the base substrate 10.

[0045] For example, reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second thin film transistor 602 is located in the second display area 102, and the second thin film transistor 602 is located between the sub-pixel 20 of the second display area 102 and the base substrate 10. In other embodiments, the second thin film transistor 602 may not overlap with the sub-pixel 20, which is not limited in the present invention.

[0046] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the edge of the sub-pixel 20 is projected on the substrate 10 as a first figure, and in the photosensitive element setting area 103, the edge of the opening 310 is vertically projected on the substrate 10 as a second figure, and the shape of the second figure is consistent with the shape of the first figure. In other words, the shape of the second figure is the same as the shape of the first figure, but the second figure is not the same size as the first figure. That is, the first figure is similar to the second figure. In the embodiment of the present invention, the edge of the sub-pixel 20 in the photosensitive element setting area 103 is similar to the edge of the opening 310, so that the area of ​​the black matrix 30 in the photosensitive element setting area 103 can be minimized, and the area of ​​the light-transmitting area in the photosensitive element setting area 103 can be increased, thereby increasing the brightness of light passing through the photosensitive element setting area 103.

[0047] For example, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The edge of the sub-pixel 20 is projected on the base substrate 10 as a first rectangle, and the edge of the opening 310 in the light sensing element setting area 103 is vertically projected on the base substrate 10 as a second rectangle.

[0048] On the basis of reducing the overall reflectivity of the display area 100, at least one of the thickness of the black matrix 30, the distance between the edge of the opening 310 and the edge of the sub-pixel 20, and the opening of the second opening 312 in the second transition area 102 can be set to achieve balanced reflectivity of the first display area 101, the second display area 102, and the photosensitive element setting area 103, so that the difference in reflectivity between two adjacent ones of the first display area 101, the second display area 102, and the photosensitive element setting area 103 is less than a second preset value, which can be, for example, 10%, 5%, or 1%.

[0049] Figure 5 A schematic cross-sectional view of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 5 The black matrix 30 includes a first black matrix 31 located in the first display area 101, a second black matrix 32 located in the second display area 102, and a third black matrix 33 located in the photosensitive element setting area 103. The thickness of the second black matrix 32 is less than the thickness of the third black matrix 33, and the thickness of the third black matrix 33 is less than the thickness of the first black matrix 31. Since the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the second display area 102 is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the first display area 101, the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the first display area 101 is greater than the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the photosensitive element setting area 103. The reflectivity per unit area in the second display area 102 is greater than the reflectivity per unit area in the first display area 101, and the reflectivity per unit area in the first display area 101 is greater than the reflectivity per unit area in the photosensitive element setting area 103. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first black matrix 31 in the first display area 101 having the highest reflectivity per unit area has the largest thickness, the second black matrix 32 in the second display area 102 having the lowest reflectivity per unit area has the smallest thickness, and the third black matrix 33 in the photosensitive element setting area 103 having a medium reflectivity per unit area has a medium thickness. Thus, on the basis of reducing the overall reflectivity of the display area 100, the reflectivities of the first display area 101, the second display area 102 and the photosensitive element setting area 103 are balanced, so that the reflectivity difference between adjacent ones of the first display area 101, the second display area 102 and the photosensitive element setting area 103 is as small as possible.

[0050] Figure 6 A schematic cross-sectional view of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 6, the thickness of the second black matrix 32 gradually increases along the direction from the first display area 101 to the light sensing element setting area 103. In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to match the reflectivity per unit area in the first display area 101 to be greater than the reflectivity per unit area in the light sensing element setting area 103, the thickness of the second black matrix 32 is gradually increased along the direction from the first display area 101 to the light sensing element setting area 103, and the reflectivity per unit area in the second display area 102 is gradually reduced along the direction from the first display area 101 to the light sensing element setting area 103, so that for the reflectivity per unit area, the second display area 102 serves as a transition zone of reflectivity to optimize the visual experience.

[0051] Figure 7 for Figure 2 A schematic diagram of an enlarged structure of the S2 region in the middle, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7, a plurality of sub-pixels 20 are arranged in an array along a first direction X and a second direction Y, and the first direction X intersects with the second direction Y. Along the first direction X, the distance between the vertical projection of the edge of the opening 310 on the substrate 10 and the vertical projection of the sub-pixel 20 exposed by the opening 310 on the substrate 10 is a first distance D1. Along the second direction Y, the distance between the vertical projection of the edge of the opening 310 on the substrate 10 and the vertical projection of the sub-pixel 20 exposed by the opening 310 on the substrate 10 is a second distance D2. The first distance D1 in the second display area 102 is greater than the first distance D1 in the photosensitive element setting area 103, and the first distance D1 in the photosensitive element setting area 103 is greater than the first distance D1 in the first display area 101; and / or, the second distance D2 in the second display area 102 is greater than the second distance D2 in the photosensitive element setting area 103, and the second distance D2 in the photosensitive element setting area 103 is greater than the second distance D2 in the first display area 101. As the distance between the edge of the sub-pixel 20 and the edge of the opening 310 increases, the more the metal film layer in the sub-pixel 20 or the metal film layer below the sub-pixel 20 is exposed, and the reflectivity at the opening 310 increases; as the distance between the edge of the sub-pixel 20 and the edge of the opening 310 increases, the less the metal film layer in the sub-pixel 20 or the metal film layer below the sub-pixel 20 is exposed, and the reflectivity at the opening 310 decreases. The metal film layer exposed by the opening 310 will be further described later. Since the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the second display area 102 is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the first display area 101, and the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the first display area 101 is greater than the area of ​​the black matrix 30 per unit area in the photosensitive element setting area 103, the reflectivity per unit area in the second display area 102 is greater than the reflectivity per unit area in the first display area 101, and the reflectivity per unit area in the first display area 101 is greater than the reflectivity per unit area in the photosensitive element setting area 103. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first display area 102 having the highest reflectivity per unit area has a higher reflectivity per unit area. 01 has the smallest area of ​​the metal film layer exposed by the opening 310, the largest area of ​​the metal film layer exposed by the opening 310 in the second display area 102 having the lowest reflectivity per unit area, and the metal film layer exposed by the opening 310 in the photosensitive element setting area 103 having a medium reflectivity per unit area has a medium area. Thus, on the basis of reducing the overall reflectivity of the display area 100, the reflectivities of the first display area 101, the second display area 102 and the photosensitive element setting area 103 are balanced, so that the difference in reflectivity between adjacent ones of the first display area 101, the second display area 102 and the photosensitive element setting area 103 is as small as possible.

[0052] For the sake of clarity, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first distance D1 in the first display area 101, the second display area 102, and the light sensing element setting area 103 is referred to as the first horizontal distance D11, the second horizontal distance D12, and the third horizontal distance D13, respectively, and the second distance D2 in the first display area 101, the second display area 102, and the light sensing element setting area 103 is referred to as the first longitudinal distance D21, the second longitudinal distance D22, and the third longitudinal distance D23, respectively. In one embodiment, D12>D13>D11 can be set. In another embodiment, D22>D23>D21 can be set. In another embodiment, D12>D13>D11 and D22>D23>D21 can also be set.

[0053] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be combined with each other. For example, when the thickness of the second black matrix 32 is set to be smaller than the thickness of the third black matrix 33, and the thickness of the third black matrix 33 is smaller than the thickness of the first black matrix 31, the first distance D1 in the second display area 102 is set to be larger than the first distance D1 in the photosensitive element setting area 103, and the first distance D1 in the photosensitive element setting area 103 is larger than the first distance D1 in the first display area 101; and / or, the second distance D2 in the second display area 102 is larger than the second distance D2 in the photosensitive element setting area 103, and the second distance D2 in the photosensitive element setting area 103 is larger than the second distance D2 in the first display area 101. By setting the distance between the edge of the opening 310 and the edge of the sub-pixel 20, and the thickness of the black matrix 30, it is possible to reduce the overall reflectivity of the display area 100 and balance the reflectivities of the first display area 101, the second display area 102, and the photosensitive element setting area 103.

[0054] For example, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a plurality of pixel units are arranged in an array along the first direction X and the second direction Y in the light sensing element setting area 103, and the pixel unit includes three sub-pixels 20 arranged in a herringbone shape. In the same pixel unit, two sub-pixels 20 are located in the same column in the second direction Y, and another sub-pixel 20 is located in a different column from the two sub-pixels 20. In other embodiments, the display panel may also have other sub-pixel arrangements, which are not limited in the present invention.

[0055] For example, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the light sensing element setting area 103, the pixel unit array composed of three sub-pixels 20 is arranged, and the area between two adjacent pixel units is a light-transmitting area. In other embodiments, the three sub-pixels 20 in a pixel unit can also be discretely distributed, and the area between adjacent sub-pixels 20 is a light-transmitting area.

[0056] Figure 8A partial structural top view of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 9 For along Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of BB', see Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , the plurality of sub-pixels 20 include display sub-pixels 201 and dummy sub-pixels 202. The first display area 101 includes display sub-pixels 201, and the second display area 102 includes display sub-pixels 201 and dummy sub-pixels 202. The number of display sub-pixels 201 per unit area in the second display area 102 is less than the number of display sub-pixels 201 per unit area in the first display area 101. The first display area 101 is a main display area, and the second display area 102 is a transitional display area. The plurality of openings 310 include a first opening 311 and a second opening 312. The vertical projection of the display sub-pixel 201 on the substrate 10 is located within the vertical projection of the first opening 311 on the substrate 10, and the first opening 311 exposes the display sub-pixel 201. The vertical projection of the dummy sub-pixel 202 on the substrate 10 is located within at least a portion of the vertical projection of the second opening 312 on the substrate 10, and at least a portion of the second opening 312 exposes the dummy sub-pixel 202. Among them, the display sub-pixel 201 is used for normal light-emitting display, and the dummy sub-pixel 202 is not used for light-emitting display. In the embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the first opening 311 exposing the display sub-pixel 201, the second opening 312 exposing the dummy sub-pixel 202 is also provided in the second display area 102. Compared with covering all areas outside the first opening 311 with the black matrix 30, the coverage area of ​​the black matrix 30 is relatively reduced to balance the reflectivity of the first display area 101, the second display area 102 and the light-sensing element setting area 103, so that the reflectivity difference between adjacent two of the first display area 101, the second display area 102 and the light-sensing element setting area 103 is as small as possible.

[0057] For example, reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , the light sensing element setting area 103 includes a display sub-pixel 201, and the light sensing element setting area 103 does not include a dummy sub-pixel 202. The dummy sub-pixel 202 is only set in the second display area 102. The dummy sub-pixel 202 is correspondingly provided with a second thin film transistor 602 electrically connected thereto. In other embodiments, only the dummy sub-pixel 202 may be provided, and the second thin film transistor 602 electrically connected thereto may not be provided.

[0058] Optionally, refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9, the area of ​​the vertical projection of the first opening 311 on the base substrate 10 is larger than the area of ​​the vertical projection of the second opening 312 on the base substrate 10. In the embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the first opening 311 exposing the display sub-pixel 201, the second opening 312 exposing the dummy sub-pixel 202 is also provided in the second display area 102. Compared with covering all areas outside the first opening 311 with the black matrix 30, the coverage area of ​​the black matrix 30 is relatively reduced, and the reflectivity of the second display area 102 is increased. Since the dummy sub-pixel 202 does not display an image, the dummy sub-pixel 202 can be set at the vacant sub-pixel position, and the area of ​​the second opening 312 where the dummy sub-pixel 202 is located is set to be smaller than the area of ​​the first opening 311, so as to ensure that the reflectivity of the second display area 102 is not too large, and ensure that the display area 100 as a whole has a lower reflectivity. The vacant sub-pixel position refers to a position where a sub-pixel 20 can be set but is not set in the second display area 102 relative to the sub-pixel density in the first display area 101 .

[0059] Optionally, refer to Fig. 9 The sub-pixel 20 includes a first electrode 21, an organic light-emitting functional layer 22 and a second electrode 23, wherein the organic light-emitting functional layer 22 is located between the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 23. The display panel also includes a pixel defining layer 50, wherein the pixel defining layer 50 is located between the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 33, and the pixel defining layer 50 includes a plurality of through holes 51, wherein the through holes 51 are located within the vertical projection of the first opening 311 on the substrate 10 in the vertical projection of the substrate 10. At the position of the second opening 312, no through hole 51 is provided on the pixel defining layer 50. In the display sub-pixel 201, the organic light-emitting functional layer 22 is located in the through hole 51, and the organic light-emitting functional layer 22 is in contact with the first electrode 21, so that the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 23 can inject holes and electrons into the organic light-emitting functional layer 22, and the holes and electrons are recombined in the organic light-emitting functional layer 22 to form excitons, and the excitons transition so that the display sub-pixel 201 emits light. In the dummy sub-pixel 202 , a pixel defining layer 50 is provided between the first electrode 21 and the organic light-emitting functional layer 22 , and the first electrode 21 and the light-emitting functional layer 22 are electrically insulated, so that the dummy sub-pixel 202 cannot perform light-emitting display.

[0060] For example, reference Fig. 9, the metal film layer in the sub-pixel 20 is mainly the first electrode 21, the first electrode 21 is a reflective electrode, the display panel is a top-emitting display panel, and in other embodiments, the display panel can also be a bottom-emitting display panel. The metal film layer under the sub-pixel 20 is mainly a thin film transistor 60 and a variety of signal lines (not shown in the figure), such as data lines, scan lines, and power lines. The thin film transistor 60 includes a source electrode 61, a semiconductor layer 62, a gate electrode 63, and a drain electrode 64, wherein the source electrode 61, the gate electrode 63, and the drain electrode 64 may include metal materials and are metal film layers.

[0061] For example, reference Fig. 9 In each embodiment of the present invention, the vertical projection of the sub-pixel 20 on the base substrate 10 is the vertical projection of the organic light-emitting functional layer 22 on the base substrate 10. The vertical projection of the sub-pixel 20 on the base substrate 10 is located within the vertical projection of the opening 310 on the base substrate 10. Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the color resist 40 may be located only in the opening 310. In other embodiments, a portion of the color resist 40 may be located in the opening 310, and another portion of the color resist 40 may be located on the side of the black matrix 30 away from the base substrate 10. The vertical projection of the organic light-emitting functional layer 22 on the base substrate 10 is located within the vertical projection of the first electrode 21 on the base substrate 10, and the vertical projection of the opening 310 on the base substrate 10 is located within the vertical projection of the first electrode 21 on the base substrate 10. The black matrix 30 is used to shield the edge of the first electrode 21. Since the first electrode 21 does not completely overlap with the thin film transistor 60 in the direction perpendicular to the base substrate 10, the black matrix 30 is also used to shield the thin film transistor 60 to prevent the thin film transistor 60 from reflecting external ambient light.

[0062] Optionally, refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , the display panel further includes a plurality of thin film transistors 60, and the thin film transistors 60 are electrically connected to the first electrode 21. The plurality of sub-pixels 20 are arranged in an array along a first direction X and a second direction Y, and the first direction X intersects with the second direction Y. The number of thin film transistors 60 arranged in a row along the first direction X in the first display area 101 is equal to the number of thin film transistors 60 arranged in a row along the first direction X in the second display area 102. In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of thin film transistors 60 in a row in the first display area 101 is equal to the number of thin film transistors 60 in a row in the second display area 102, so the number of thin film transistors 60 in a row driven by the scan lines (not shown in the figure) in the first display area 101 and the second display area 102 is the same, and the scan lines in the first display area 101 and the second display area 102 have the same load, thereby avoiding the occurrence of uneven display caused by unequal loads.

[0063] Fig.10A schematic cross-sectional view of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Fig.10 , the number of the first openings 311 in the second display area 102 is greater than the number of the second openings 312 in the second display area 102. In the embodiment of the present invention, since the dummy sub-pixel 202 does not display an image, the dummy sub-pixel 202 can be set at the vacant sub-pixel position, and the area of ​​the second openings 312 where the dummy sub-pixel 202 is located is smaller than the number of the first openings 311, so as to ensure that the reflectivity of the second display area 102 is not too large, and ensure that the display area 100 has a lower reflectivity as a whole. In other embodiments, the area of ​​the first opening 311 vertically projected on the base substrate 10 can also be set to be greater than the area of ​​the second opening 312 vertically projected on the base substrate 10, and the number of the first openings 311 in the second display area 102 is greater than the number of the second openings 312 in the second display area 102, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0064] For example, reference Figure 8 and Fig.10 , along the first direction X, the distance between any two adjacent second openings 312 in a row is equal, and the distance between any two adjacent dummy sub-pixels 202 in a row is equal. The second openings 312 and the dummy sub-pixels 202 in the second openings 312 are arranged to be evenly distributed, and the second display area 102 reflects the external ambient light more evenly as a whole.

[0065] Fig.11 A partial structural top view of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Fig.12 For along Fig.11 Schematic diagram of the cross-section structure of CC', refer to Fig.11 and Fig.12, the plurality of openings 310 include a first opening 311 and a second opening 312, the vertical projection of the sub-pixel 20 on the substrate 10 is located within the vertical projection of the first opening 311 on the substrate 10, and at least part of the second opening 312 is located in the region where the gap between the sub-pixels 20 is located. In various embodiments of the present invention, the region where the gap between the sub-pixels 20 is located is the region outside the sub-pixel 20. In the embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the first opening 311 that exposes the sub-pixel 20 (specifically, the display sub-pixel 201) in the second display area 102, a second opening 312 is also provided, and at least part of the second opening 312 does not overlap with the sub-pixel 20. Compared with covering all areas outside the first opening 311 with the black matrix 30, the coverage area of ​​the black matrix 30 is relatively reduced, so as to balance the reflectivity of the first display area 101, the second display area 102, and the light sensing element setting area 103, so that the reflectivity difference between adjacent two of the first display area 101, the second display area 102, and the light sensing element setting area 103 is as small as possible.

[0066] For example, reference Fig.11 and Fig.12 , the second openings 312 also do not overlap with the thin film transistor 60. All the second openings 312 are arranged in the region where the gaps between the sub-pixels 20 are located. In other embodiments, when part of the second openings 312 are located in the region where the gaps between the sub-pixels 20 are located, another part of the second openings 312 may be arranged to overlap with the thin film transistor 60, and / or another part of the second openings 312 may overlap with the dummy sub-pixel.

[0067] For example, reference Fig.11 and Fig.12 , the display panel is hollowed out at the second opening 312, that is, no color resist 40 is disposed at the second opening 312. In other embodiments, a color resist 40 may also be disposed in the second opening 312, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0068] For example, reference Fig.11 , the number of first openings 311 per unit area in the first display area 101 is equal to the sum of the number of first openings 311 and second openings 312 per unit area in the second display area 102. The advantage of this arrangement is that the second openings 312 are arranged at all vacant sub-pixel positions in the second display area 102, so that the openings 310 in the second display area 102 are evenly distributed, and the second display area 102 reflects the external ambient light more evenly as a whole.

[0069] Fig.13 A partial structural top view of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Fig.14 For along Fig.13 Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of DD', see Fig.13 and Fig.14The plurality of thin film transistors 60 further include a second thin film transistor 602, which is located in the second display area 102 and electrically connected to the sub-pixel 20 in the second display area 102, and at least a portion of the second thin film transistor 602 is located in the region where the gap between the sub-pixels 20 is located. The plurality of openings 310 include a first opening 311 and a second opening 312, the vertical projection of the sub-pixel 20 on the base substrate 10 is located within the vertical projection of the first opening 311 on the base substrate 10, and the vertical projection of the second thin film transistor 602 on the base substrate 10, which is located in the region where the gap between the sub-pixels 20 is located, is located within at least a portion of the second opening 312 on the base substrate 10. In the embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the first opening 311 exposing the sub-pixel 20 (specifically, the display sub-pixel 201) in the second display area 102, a second opening 312 is also provided, and at least a portion of the second opening 312 exposes the second thin film transistor 602. Compared with covering all areas outside the first opening 311 with the black matrix 30, the coverage area of ​​the black matrix 30 is relatively reduced to balance the reflectivity of the first display area 101, the second display area 102 and the photosensitive element setting area 103.

[0070] For example, reference Fig.13 and Fig.14 , the second openings 312 are arranged at some of the vacant sub-pixel positions in the second display area 102. Along the first direction X, the distance between any two adjacent second openings 312 in a row of the second openings 312 is equal, and the distance between any two adjacent second thin-film transistors 602 in a row of the second thin-film transistors 602 is equal. The second openings 312 and the second thin-film transistors 602 in the second openings 312 are arranged to be evenly distributed, and the second display area 102 is more uniform in reflecting the external ambient light as a whole. In other embodiments, the second openings 312 can also be arranged at all the vacant sub-pixel positions in the second display area 102, that is, the number of first openings 311 per unit area in the first display area 101 is equal to the sum of the number of first openings 311 and second openings 312 per unit area in the second display area 102. The advantage of this arrangement is that the second openings 312 are disposed at all vacant sub-pixel positions in the second display area 102 , so that the openings 310 in the second display area 102 are evenly distributed, and the second display area 102 reflects the external ambient light more evenly as a whole.

[0071] Fig.15 A partial structural top view of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Fig.16 For along Fig.15 EE' cross-sectional structure diagram, see Fig.15 and Fig.16The display panel further includes a plurality of thin film transistors 60, the plurality of thin film transistors 60 include a first thin film transistor 601, the first thin film transistor 601 is located in the photosensitive element setting area 103, the first thin film transistor 601 is located between the sub-pixel 20 in the photosensitive element setting area 103 and the base substrate 10, and is electrically connected to the sub-pixel 20 in the photosensitive element setting area 103. The vertical projection of the first thin film transistor 601 on the base substrate 10 is located within the joint projection of the sub-pixel 20 and the black matrix 30 on the base substrate 10. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first thin film transistor 601 for driving the sub-pixel 20 in the photosensitive element setting area 103 is arranged in the photosensitive element setting area 103, and the distance between the sub-pixel 20 and the first thin film transistor 601 is relatively close, which is conducive to simplifying the electrical connection wiring between the sub-pixel 20 and the first thin film transistor 601. In the photosensitive element setting area 103 , the first thin film transistor 601 is covered by the sub-pixel 20 and the black matrix 30 , so that the black matrix 30 can prevent the first thin film transistor 601 from reflecting the external ambient light, thereby reducing the overall reflectivity of the display area 100 .

[0072] Optionally, refer to Fig.15 , in the photosensitive element setting area 103, the outer edge of the black matrix 30 includes a curve. It can be understood that if the outer edge of the black matrix 30 is a straight line, the light energy is distributed on both sides of the straight line to form a plurality of light and dark stripes parallel to the extension direction of the straight line. If the outer edge of the black matrix 30 is an arc, which is equivalent to a plurality of straight lines with different extension directions, the light energy is distributed in a plurality of different directions, thereby weakening the diffraction phenomenon. In the embodiment of the present invention, the outer edge of the black matrix 30 includes a curve, thereby reducing the diffraction phenomenon of the photosensitive element setting area 103.

[0073] For example, reference Fig.15 , the shape of the outer edge of the black matrix 30 is circular or elliptical. In other embodiments, the shape of the outer edge of the black matrix 30 can be other curves, which is not limited in the present invention.

[0074] It should be noted that the above embodiments may be combined with each other. The present invention provides some examples for this, but is not limited thereto.

The display sub-pixel 201 is vertically projected on the substrate 10 and is located within the first opening 311 vertically projected on the substrate 10, and the first opening 311 exposes the display sub-pixel 201. The first portion of the second opening 312 is located in the region where the gap between the sub-pixels 20 is located, and the first portion of the second opening 312 does not overlap with the thin film transistor 60.
