Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] In order to improve the screen-to-body ratio and aesthetics of display devices, more and more display devices are using Full Display with Camera (FDC) technology. FDC technology refers to removing the opening reserved for the front camera on the screen and building the front camera under the screen. However, when the front camera is placed under the screen, in order to reduce the impact of the screen on the outside light entering the under-screen camera, the pixel circuit corresponding to the pixel unit in the FDC hole is usually moved to the transition area on both sides. The data signal (data) is horizontally wound in the normal display area below the FDC hole to the transition area and connected to the pixel circuit corresponding to the pixel unit in the FDC hole. After the signal is written, it is wound back from the upper frame to the original column of pixels to complete the signal writing to the circuit above the FDC area. However, the data signal winding is too long, resulting in excessive load, which is easy to cause poor dark lines in the column where the FDC hole area is located, and the data signal winding interferes with the pixel circuit in the normal display area.

[0061] Please combine Figure 1-4 The embodiment of the present application provides a display panel 10, which includes a first display area 11 and a second display area 12 adjacent to the first display area 11. The second display area 12 is provided with a plurality of pixel units 31 in an array, each pixel unit 31 corresponds to a driving circuit 21, and each column of pixel units 31 is connected to the same data line 15 through the driving circuit 21, and the data line 15 is used to provide a data signal to the driving circuit 21.
[0062] The first display area 11 includes a transition area 111, the second display area 12 includes a hole area 121, the transition area 111 is located on both sides of the hole area 121, the pixel unit 31 includes a second pixel unit 312 located in the hole area 11, and the second pixel unit 312 is connected to the driving circuit 21 of the transition area 11;
[0063] The data line 15 includes a first line 151, a transfer line 152 and a second line 153. The first line 151 is located in the second display area 12 and bypasses the hole area 121. The second line 153 is located in the transition area 111. The transfer line 152 connects the first line 151 and the second line 153 respectively. The connection between the transfer line 152 and the first line 151 is located outside the hole area 121.
[0064] The present application also provides a display device 100 . The display panel 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the display device 100 in the embodiment of the present application. That is, the display device 100 in the embodiment of the present application can display images through the display panel 10 in the embodiment of the present application.
[0065] In the display panel 10 and the display device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, by locating the first routing line 151 of the data line 15 corresponding to the second pixel unit 312 in the second display area 12 and bypassing the hole area 121, and arranging the second routing line 153 in the transition area 111, and then connecting the first routing line 151 at the edge of the hole area 121 and connecting the second routing line 153 located in the transition area 121 through the adapter line 152, it is avoided that the data line 15 is avoided from rotating out in the normal display area to cause mutual interference, and at the same time, the brightness uniformity of the display panel 10 is improved, and the data line 15 is avoided from rotating out in the first display area 11 and causing mutual interference with the first display area 11. At the same time, the length of the data line 15 can be effectively reduced, thereby avoiding excessive load due to the excessive length of the data line 15, and improving the brightness uniformity of the display panel 10. Since the refresh rate of the display panel 10 is improved, in addition, there is no need to occupy the space of the upper frame, and the screen-to-body ratio of the display panel 10 is further improved.
[0066] Please further combine Figures 1 to 8 , the specific structures of the display panel 10 and the display device 100 are described below.
[0067] In some embodiments, the display device 100 may be a display device 100 that can display images, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a smart bracelet, a virtual reality device, a personal data terminal, a laptop computer, etc., but is not limited thereto. For example, in this embodiment, the display device 100 may be illustrated by taking a mobile phone that uses under-screen camera technology as an example.
[0068] The display device 100 also includes optical elements disposed in the display panel 10 , and the optical elements may include but are not limited to photosensitive elements such as cameras, infrared sensors, and fingerprint collectors.
[0069] The display panel 10 may be an OLED display panel 10. The display panel 10 includes a display area, where a plurality of pixel units 31, a plurality of driving circuits 21 and a plurality of data lines 15 are formed.
[0070] Please further combine Figure 1, multiple pixel units 31 are arranged in an array to form multiple rows and columns. The pixel units 31 and the driving circuit 21 both include multiple, each pixel unit 31 is correspondingly provided with a driving circuit 21, the driving circuit 21 is used to drive the pixel unit 31 to emit light, and multiple data lines 15 are arranged in sequence in the display area. The number of data lines 15 is equal to the number of columns of the pixel units 31, that is, each column of pixel units 31 is connected to the same data line 15 through the corresponding driving circuit 21. The data line 15 is used to transmit a data signal to the driving circuit 21 so that the driving circuit 21 drives the corresponding pixel unit 31 to emit light.
[0071] Further, the display area can be divided into a first display area 11 and a second display area 12, wherein the first display area 11 is adjacent to the second display area 12, for example, the first display area 11 can be located on both sides of the second display area 12, and the first display area 11 includes a transition area 111, and the second display area 12 includes a hole area 121, and the transition area 111 is located on both sides of the hole area 121, and the hole area 121 can be an under-screen camera area, and the optical element is arranged in the hole area 121. The hole area 121 can be circular, square, teardrop-shaped, elliptical or other regular or irregular images, that is, the specific shape of the hole area 121 is not limited. In this embodiment, the hole area 121 can be described as a circle, and the diameter of the hole area 121 is smaller than the width of the second display area 12.
[0072] The pixel unit 31 includes a first pixel unit 311 arrayed outside the hole-punching area 121 in the second display area 12 and a second pixel unit 312 arrayed in the hole-punching area 121. The driving circuit 21 corresponding to the first pixel unit 31 is arranged in the area outside the hole-punching area 121 in the second display area 12, and the driving circuit 21 corresponding to the second pixel unit 312 is arranged in the transition area 111 in the first display area 11 on both sides, that is, the driving circuit 21 is not arranged in the hole-punching area 121. It can be understood that since an optical element is arranged in the hole-punching area 121, if the driving circuit 21 is arranged in the hole-punching area 121, it will block the external light from being transmitted to the optical element, causing the optical element to fail to work normally. Therefore, the driving circuit 21 corresponding to the second pixel unit 312 is arranged in the transition area 111 on both sides of the hole-punching area 121.
[0073] Please further combine Figure 2 The data line 15 includes a first wiring 151 , a transfer line 152 and a second wiring 153 .
[0074] Among them, the first lines 151 of the plurality of data lines 15 are sequentially arranged in the second display area 12 along the second direction, and are at least partially arranged around the transition area 111, the second lines 153 are located in the transition area 111, the first lines 151 are at least partially parallel to the second lines 153, and extend along the first direction, the adapter lines 152 extend along the second direction, and the first direction and the second direction can be perpendicular, that is, the first lines 151 are at least partially arranged perpendicular to the adapter lines 152. It should be noted that the first direction can be the column direction (or vertical direction) of the pixel unit, and the second direction can be the row direction (or horizontal direction) of the pixel unit.
[0075] The first wiring 151 is used to connect the driving circuit 21 of the first pixel unit 311, and the second wiring 153 is used to connect the driving circuit 21 corresponding to the second pixel unit 312. The adapter line 152 is a adapter line connecting the first wiring 151 and the second wiring 153, that is, the first wiring 151 is connected to the second wiring 153 located in the transition area 111 through the adapter line 152.
[0076] Furthermore, the first wiring 151 and the adapter line 152 are connected in the second display area 12 outside the hole area 121. In this way, the data line 15 is prevented from being connected out of the first display area 11 and causing mutual interference with the data line 15 and the driving circuit 21 of the first display area 11. At the same time, the length of the data line 15 can be effectively reduced, thereby avoiding excessive load due to the excessive length of the data line 15, thereby improving the brightness uniformity of the display panel 10.
[0077] Please combine Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first wiring 151 and the adapter 152 are formed in different layers, and the adapter 152 is connected to the first wiring 151 through a via. That is, the first wiring 151 and the adapter 152 are formed in different film layers. It can be understood that the first wiring 151 extends along the first direction, and the adapter 152 extends along the second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The adapter 152 will have an overlapping area with the first wiring 151 of other data lines 15. Therefore, by arranging the adapter 152 and the first wiring 151 in different layers, the adapter 152 can be prevented from intersecting with the first wiring 151 at the overlapping area. Avoid the adapter 152 from interfering with the first wiring 151 of other data lines 15.
[0078] In some embodiments, the adapter 152 and the second routing line 153 are formed in different layers, and the adapter 152 is connected to the second routing line 153 through a via. That is, the adapter 152 and the second routing line 153 are formed in different film layers. It can be understood that the second routing line 153 extends along the first direction, and the adapter 152 is extended along the second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Therefore, the adapter 152 may have an overlapping area with the adapter 152 in other data lines 15. Therefore, by arranging the adapter 152 and the second routing line 153 in different layers, the adapter 152 can be prevented from intersecting at the overlapping area with the second routing line 153. It is prevented that the adapter 152 causes interference to the second routing line 153 of other data lines 15.
[0079] In some embodiments, the first trace 151 and the second trace 153 are formed on the same layer.
[0080] It should be noted that the same layer may refer to a layer structure formed by using the same film-forming process to form a film layer for forming a specific pattern, and then using the same mask to pattern the film layer through a composition process. Depending on the specific pattern, a composition process may include multiple exposure, development or etching processes, and the specific pattern in the formed layer structure may be continuous or discontinuous. That is, multiple elements, components, structures and / or parts located in the "same layer" are composed of the same material and are formed by the same composition process. It can be seen that by setting the film layers included in the above-mentioned first wiring 151 and the second wiring 153 to be located in the same layer, the manufacturing process can be simplified, the manufacturing cost can be saved, and the manufacturing efficiency can be improved.

When the pixel unit 31 is the second pixel unit 312, the first electrode 131 can be electrically connected to the transparent electrode ITO, and is electrically connected to the source 1213 of the driving transistor through the transparent electrode ITO through the second flat layer 1206 and the first flat layer 1205. It can be understood that since the driving circuit of the second pixel unit 312 is located in the transition region 111, the first electrode of the second pixel unit 312 is directly connected to the drain 1214 of the corresponding driving transistor T0 through the second flat layer 1206 and the first flat layer 1205. Therefore, the connection between the second pixel unit 312 and the driving circuit 21 can be achieved through the setting of the transparent electrode ITO.
[0093] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 or Figure 8 The pixel layer 130 further includes a pixel defining layer 134 , a supporting layer 127 and an encapsulation layer 136 for defining a plurality of pixel units 31 .
[0094] For example, the pixel defining layer 134 has a plurality of openings corresponding to the plurality of pixel units 31, and the plurality of pixel units 31 are located in the plurality of openings. For example, the encapsulation layer 136 may include a thin film encapsulation layer. In some embodiments, the encapsulation layer 136 may include a first inorganic layer 1361, a second inorganic layer 1362, and an organic layer 1363 located between the first inorganic layer 1361 and the second inorganic layer 1362.
[0095] As some implementations, one or more layers of the second insulating layer 1215, the first insulating layer 1214, the gate dielectric layer 1212, the buffer layer 124, the planarization layer 125, the pixel defining layer 134, and the supporting layer 127 may include an organic insulating material such as polyimide, a resin material, or the like, or an inorganic insulating material including silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or the like.
[0096] In some embodiments, the adapter wires 152 of each data line 15 are of equal length.
[0097] In this way, the load difference of the adapter wire 152 of each data line 15 can be minimized, thereby improving the brightness uniformity of the second display area 12 .
[0098] In some embodiments, the intervals between the transition lines 152 of adjacent data lines 15 are equal.
