[0002] An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is a diode that uses organic semiconductor materials to produce reversible color changes when driven by an electric current to achieve display. The basic structure of an OLED display device generally includes an anode, a light-emitting layer, and a cathode. When the power supply supplies an appropriate voltage, the holes in the anode and the electrons in the cathode combine in the light-emitting layer, producing bright light. Compared to thin-film field-effect transistor liquid crystal displays, OLED display devices have the characteristics of high visibility and high brightness, and are more energy-efficient, lightweight, and thin. Therefore, OLED display devices are considered one of the most promising products of the 21st century.

[0003] Currently, OLED display technology primarily achieves full-color display through independent pixel illumination of the three primary colors (RGB). One of the current research trends in the display field is how to optimize pixel arrangement within a display product to further enhance its display quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a display panel and a display device, aiming to improve the space utilization of the display area in a display product and enhance the display quality.

[0007] Along the first direction, the third color sub-pixel overlaps with the first color sub-pixel and does not overlap with the second color sub-pixel; along the second direction, the third color sub-pixel overlaps with the second color sub-pixel and does not overlap with the first color sub-pixel;

[0008] The first color sub-pixel, the second color sub-pixel and the third color sub-pixel are all polygonal and have a longest side. The extension direction of the longest side of the first color sub-pixel is the second direction, the extension direction of the longest side of the second color sub-pixel is the first direction, and the extension direction of the longest side of the third color sub-pixel intersects with the first direction and the second direction; the longest side of the first color sub-pixel is located on the side where the other sides of the first color sub-pixel are away from the geometric center of the area where the pixel unit is located, the longest side of the second color sub-pixel is located on the side where the other sides of the second color sub-pixel are away from the geometric center of the area where the pixel unit is located, and the longest side of the third color sub-pixel is located on the side where the other sides of the third color sub-pixel are toward the geometric center of the area where the pixel unit is located.

[0010] Compared with related technologies, the display panel and display device provided by the present invention achieve at least the following beneficial effects:

[0011] The display panel and display device provided by the present invention include a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array along a first direction and a second direction, wherein the same pixel unit includes three sub-pixels of different luminous colors, wherein the pixel opening area of ​​the third color sub-pixel is larger than the pixel opening areas of the first color sub-pixel and the second color sub-pixel. Along the first direction, the third color sub-pixel overlaps with the first color sub-pixel and does not overlap with the second color sub-pixel; along the second direction, the third color sub-pixel overlaps with the second color sub-pixel and does not overlap with the first color sub-pixel. Such an arrangement makes the arrangement of the three sub-pixels in the same pixel unit more compact, which is beneficial to improving the aperture ratio and screen-to-body ratio of the display panel compared to the method of arranging the three sub-pixels in the same column or row in the pixel unit, thereby improving the display quality.

[0012] In addition, in the same pixel unit, each of the three sub-pixels has a longest side, wherein the longest side of the first color sub-pixel extends in the second direction and is located on the side of the sub-pixel that is away from the geometric center of the region where the pixel unit is located; the longest side of the second color sub-pixel extends in the first direction and is located on the side of the sub-pixel that is away from the geometric center of the region where the pixel unit is located; the longest side of the third color sub-pixel extends in a direction that intersects both the first and second directions and is located on the side of the sub-pixel that is toward the geometric center of the region where the pixel unit is located.

[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is intended to cover modifications and variations of the present invention that fall within the scope of the corresponding claims (technical solutions claimed for protection) and their equivalents. It should be noted that the embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other unless there is any contradiction.

[0041] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0042] Figure 1 The figure shows a pixel arrangement diagram of a display panel provided in the related art. The display panel includes multiple pixel units P', each of which includes three pixels of different colors. The three pixels in the same pixel unit P' are located in the same pixel row. For this pixel arrangement structure, due to its simple arrangement, the manufacturing process is also relatively simple. However, for display panels with this pixel arrangement structure, the aperture ratio is low, which cannot further improve the screen-to-body ratio and display quality.

[0043] To this end, the present invention provides a display panel, comprising a plurality of scan lines and a plurality of data lines, wherein the scan lines extend along a first direction and are arranged along a second direction, and the data lines extend along the second direction and are arranged along the first direction, and the first direction and the second direction intersect; the display panel further comprises a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array along the first direction and the second direction, wherein the same pixel unit comprises three sub-pixels, and the three sub-pixels are respectively a first color sub-pixel, a second color sub-pixel and a third color sub-pixel, and the first color, the second color and the third color are different; wherein the pixel opening area of ​​the third color sub-pixel is larger than the pixel opening area of ​​the first color sub-pixel and larger than the pixel opening area of ​​the second color sub-pixel; along the first direction, the third color sub-pixel overlaps with the first color sub-pixel and does not overlap with the second color sub-pixel; along the second direction, the third color sub-pixel overlaps with the first color sub-pixel and does not overlap with the second color sub-pixel The three-color sub-pixel overlaps with the second-color sub-pixel and does not overlap with the first-color sub-pixel; the first-color sub-pixel, the second-color sub-pixel, and the third-color sub-pixel are all polygonal and have a longest side; the longest side of the first-color sub-pixel extends in the second direction, the longest side of the second-color sub-pixel extends in the first direction, and the longest side of the third-color sub-pixel extends in a direction that intersects the first and second directions; the longest side of the first-color sub-pixel is located on the side of the first-color sub-pixel that is away from the geometric center of the pixel unit area, the longest side of the second-color sub-pixel is located on the side of the second-color sub-pixel that is away from the geometric center of the pixel unit area, and the longest side of the third-color sub-pixel is located on the side of the third-color sub-pixel that is toward the geometric center of the pixel unit area. By changing the pixel arrangement structure, the aperture ratio of the display panel can be effectively increased, thereby improving the screen-to-body ratio and display quality of the display panel.

[0044] The above is the core concept of the present invention. The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0045] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 FIG2 is a schematic diagram of a pixel arrangement of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to FIG2. Figure 2 and Figure 3 A display panel 100 includes a plurality of scan lines L1 and a plurality of data lines L2, wherein the scan lines L1 extend along a first direction D1 and are arranged along a second direction D2, and the data lines L2 extend along the second direction D2 and are arranged along the first direction D1, and the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 intersect;

[0046] The display panel 100 further includes a plurality of pixel units P arranged in an array along a first direction D1 and a second direction D2. Each pixel unit P includes three sub-pixels, namely a first color sub-pixel P1, a second color sub-pixel P2, and a third color sub-pixel P3. The first color, the second color, and the third color are different. The pixel opening area of ​​the third color sub-pixel P3 is larger than the pixel opening area of ​​the first color sub-pixel P1 and larger than the pixel opening area of ​​the second color sub-pixel P2.

[0047] Along the first direction D1, the third color sub-pixel P3 overlaps with the first color sub-pixel P1 and does not overlap with the second color sub-pixel P2; along the second direction D2, the third color sub-pixel P3 overlaps with the second color sub-pixel P2 and does not overlap with the first color sub-pixel P1;

[0048] The first color sub-pixel P1, the second color sub-pixel P2 and the third color sub-pixel P3 are all polygonal and have a longest side. The extension direction of the longest side of the first color sub-pixel P1 is the second direction D2, the extension direction of the longest side of the second color sub-pixel P2 is the first direction D1, and the extension direction of the longest side of the third color sub-pixel P3 intersects with the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. The longest side of the first color sub-pixel P1 is located on the side where the other sides of the first color sub-pixel P1 are away from the geometric center of the area where the pixel unit P is located, the longest side of the second color sub-pixel P2 is located on the side where the other sides of the second color sub-pixel P2 are away from the geometric center of the area where the pixel unit P is located, and the longest side of the third color sub-pixel P3 is located on the side where the other sides of the third color sub-pixel P3 are toward the geometric center of the area where the pixel unit P is located.

[0049] Specifically, the display panel provided in this embodiment can be a display panel using organic light-emitting diode display technology. In the display panel provided in this embodiment, the pixel arrangement structure is improved, and the same pixel unit P includes three sub-pixels with different luminous colors, wherein the pixel opening area of ​​the third color sub-pixel P3 is larger than the pixel opening areas of the first color sub-pixel P1 and the second color sub-pixel P2. Along the first direction D1, the third color sub-pixel P3 overlaps with the first color sub-pixel P1 and does not overlap with the second color sub-pixel P2; along the second direction D2, the third color sub-pixel P3 overlaps with the second color sub-pixel P2 and does not overlap with the first color sub-pixel P1. This arrangement makes the arrangement of the three sub-pixels in the same pixel unit P more compact. Compared with the arrangement of the three sub-pixels in the pixel unit P in the same column or row, it is beneficial to improve the aperture ratio and screen-to-body ratio of the display panel, thereby improving the display quality.

[0050] Furthermore, within the same pixel unit P, each of the three sub-pixels has a longest side. The longest side of the first color sub-pixel P1 extends in the second direction D2 and is located on the side of the sub-pixel facing away from the geometric center of the region where the pixel unit P is located. The longest side of the second color sub-pixel P2 extends in the first direction D1 and is located on the side of the sub-pixel facing away from the geometric center of the region where the pixel unit P is located. The longest side of the third color sub-pixel P3 extends in a direction that intersects both the first and second directions D1 and D2 and is located on the side of the sub-pixel facing toward the geometric center of the region where the pixel unit P is located. With this design, the longest side of the first color sub-pixel P1, the longest side of the second color sub-pixel P2, and all sides of the third color sub-pixel P3, excluding the longest side, collectively form the outline of the pixel unit P. This arrangement also facilitates a more compact arrangement of the three sub-pixels within the pixel unit P, further improving the aperture ratio and screen-to-body ratio of the display panel, and thereby further enhancing display quality.

[0051] It should be noted that Figure 3 For the purpose of illustration, the outlines of the three sub-pixels are all triangular. Taking the pixel unit P formed by the sub-pixels of the triangular structure as an example, the geometric center of the area where the pixel unit P is located can be regarded as the geometric center of the outline of the pixel unit P formed by the longest side of the first color sub-pixel P1, the longest side of the second color sub-pixel P2, and the other sides of the third color sub-pixel P3 except the longest side. Figure 3 In the arrangement structure shown, the outline of the pixel unit P is a rectangle for illustration, but the actual shape of the pixel unit P is not limited.

[0052] It should also be noted that, in this embodiment Figure 2 The structure of the display panel is only shown as an example. In specific implementation, the structure of the display panel includes but is not limited to this. It may also include other structures, such as the film structure of the display panel, pixel circuit, drive circuit, packaging structure, etc. This embodiment will not be described in detail here. For details, please refer to the structure of the organic light emitting diode display panel in the related art. Figure 2 This embodiment is described by taking a rectangular display panel as an example. In some other embodiments of the present invention, the shape of the display panel may be other shapes, such as a rounded rectangle, a circle, an ellipse, or any other feasible shape.

[0053] It should be further explained that the size and shape of the pixel unit P and the three sub-pixels in the pixel unit P are only exemplarily drawn in the figure of this embodiment. In specific implementation, the size and shape of the pixel unit P and the three sub-pixels in the pixel unit P include but are not limited to Figure 3 As shown, it can also be of other sizes and shapes, which are not limited in this embodiment.

[0054] Continue to refer Figure 3 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, in the same pixel unit P, the first color sub-pixel P1, the second color sub-pixel P2 and the third color sub-pixel P3 are all convex polygons.

[0055] Since among all the sides of a convex polygon, when any side is infinitely extended in both directions to form a straight line, the other sides are all on the same side of this straight line, therefore, when the sub-pixels in the pixel unit P are designed as a convex polygon structure, the shape of the sub-pixels is relatively regular. While improving the compactness of the arrangement of the three sub-pixels in the pixel unit P, it is also beneficial to ensure the opening surface value of the sub-pixels and simplify the manufacturing process of the sub-pixels.

[0056] Continue to refer Figure 3 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the three sub-pixels in the same pixel unit P have the same shape.

[0057] Specifically, Figure 3 The embodiments illustrate the three sub-pixels in a pixel unit P as triangles, but do not limit the actual shape of the sub-pixels. In other embodiments of the present invention, the three sub-pixels in the same pixel unit P may have other shapes, as will be explained in subsequent embodiments. When the three sub-pixels in the same pixel unit P have the same shape, it helps simplify the structure of the mask required to manufacture the sub-pixels, thereby simplifying the mask manufacturing process. Furthermore, when the three sub-pixels in the same pixel unit P have the same shape, it also helps simplify the overall pixel layout complexity of the display panel.

[0058] Figure 4 and Figure 5 Another pixel arrangement schematic diagram of the display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention is respectively shown, and it is respectively shown that in an optional implementation manner of the present invention, the shapes of the three sub-pixels in the same pixel unit P are any one of a triangle, a trapezoid, and a hexagon.

[0059] Figure 3 The embodiment shown shows a scheme in which the three sub-pixels in the same pixel unit P are all triangular. Figure 4 The embodiment shown shows a scheme in which the three sub-pixels in the same pixel unit P are all trapezoidal. Figure 5 The illustrated embodiment shows a solution in which the three sub-pixels in the same pixel unit P are all hexagonal. Under the premise of ensuring that the pixel opening area of ​​the third color sub-pixel P3 is maximized, the present invention sets the shape of the sub-pixels in the pixel unit P to be triangular, trapezoidal or hexagonal. The shape is relatively regular, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing process of the mask plate, and is also conducive to simplifying the evaporation process of the sub-pixels.

[0060] It should be noted that Figures 3 to 5 Only a solution in which the shapes of the three sub-pixels in the same pixel unit P are the same is shown. In some other embodiments of the present invention, the shapes of the three sub-pixels in the same pixel unit P can also be set to be different, or only two of them can be the same. The present invention does not specifically limit this.

[0061] Figure 6 FIG2 is another pixel arrangement diagram of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment shows a solution in which the three sub-pixels in the same pixel unit P are all isosceles right triangles. Figure 6 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the shapes of the three sub-pixels in the same pixel unit P are all isosceles right triangles.

[0062] Specifically, when the shape of the sub-pixel is set to an isosceles right triangle, the corner space in the pixel unit P can be reasonably utilized. Compared with the solution in which the corner space of the pixel unit P is difficult to evaporate the sub-pixel, the solution of this embodiment is beneficial to improving the aperture ratio of the sub-pixel in the pixel unit P, and thus is beneficial to improving the overall aperture ratio of the display panel, and further beneficial to improving the overall display quality of the display panel.

[0063] Figure 7 The diagram shows an arrangement diagram of three sub-pixels in the same pixel unit P. Please refer to Figure 7 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, in the same pixel unit P, at least some sub-pixels include a first side E01 and a second side E02 arranged in parallel, a first side Y01 and a second side Y02 respectively connected to both ends of the first side E01, and a first connecting side L01 and a second connecting side L02, wherein the first connecting side L01 connects the first ends of the first side Y01 and the second side E02, and the second connecting side L02 connects the second ends of the second side Y02 and the second side E02, wherein the second side E02 is the longest side of the sub-pixel.

[0064] Figure 7 The embodiment shown shows a detailed structural diagram of the sub-pixels when the sub-pixels in the pixel unit P are arranged in a hexagonal shape. The hexagon can be regarded as the shape obtained by cutting off the three corners of a triangle. Considering the manufacturing process of the mask, compared with the mask opening with a triangular structure, when the mask opening is Figure 7 When the shape of the sub-pixel in the mask matches the shape of the sub-pixel in the mask, the manufacturing process of this structure mask is simpler.

[0065] Figure 8 and Figure 9 Another pixel arrangement diagram of the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present invention is shown respectively. In an optional embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 8 , the sub-pixels in two adjacent pixel units P along the first direction D1 are arranged in a mirror image, or, please refer to Figure 9 , the sub-pixels in two pixel units P adjacent to each other along the second direction D2 are arranged in a mirror image; the third color sub-pixels P3 in the two pixel units P arranged in a mirror image are adjacent to each other.

[0066] Specifically, Figure 8 The embodiment shown shows a solution in which the sub-pixels in two adjacent pixel units P along the first direction D1 are arranged in a mirror image. Figure 9 The illustrated embodiments show a scheme in which the sub-pixels in two pixel units P adjacent to each other along the second direction D2 are arranged in a mirror image. In these two embodiments, the third-color sub-pixels P3 in the two mirror-arranged pixel units P are adjacent, that is, the two third-color sub-pixels P3 with the largest pixel opening areas in the two mirror-arranged pixel units P are adjacent. In this way, the two adjacent third-color sub-pixels P3 can share the opening of the same mask for evaporation, which is beneficial to reducing the number of openings in the metal mask used in the process, avoiding the reduction of the strength of the metal mask due to too many openings and too small size, and thus improving the strength of the metal mask.

[0067] Continue to refer Figure 8 and Figure 9 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the subpixels in two adjacent pixel units P along a first direction D1 are arranged in a mirror image, and / or the subpixels in two adjacent pixel units P along a second direction D2 are arranged in a mirror image. The two pixel units P arranged in a mirror image are a first pixel unit P01 and a second pixel unit P02. The first subpixel P11 in the first pixel unit P01 and the second subpixel P22 in the second pixel unit P02 are adjacent to each other. The width of the interval between the first subpixel P11 and the second subpixel P22 is smaller than the width of the interval between the first subpixel P11 and other subpixels in the first pixel unit P01, and smaller than the width of the interval between the second subpixel P22 and other subpixels in the second pixel unit P02. Optionally, the first subpixel P11 and the second subpixel P22 have the same color.

[0068] Figure 8 and Figure 9 The illustrated embodiment is described by taking the first sub-pixel P11 and the second sub-pixel P22 as the third color sub-pixel P3. In some other embodiments of the present invention, the first sub-pixel P11 and the second sub-pixel P22 may also be the first color sub-pixel P1 or the second color sub-pixel P2. The present invention does not specifically limit this.

[0069] Continue to refer Figure 8 and Figure 9Taking the first sub-pixel P11 and the second sub-pixel P22 as an example, both being third-color sub-pixels P3, in the two mirror-arranged pixel units P, the interval width d0 between adjacent third-color sub-pixels P3 is smaller than the interval width d1 between the third-color sub-pixel P3 and the first-color sub-pixel P1, and smaller than the interval width d2 between the third-color sub-pixel P3 and the second-color sub-pixel P2.

[0070] Specifically, when two adjacent pixel units P are arranged in a mirror-image arrangement, the width of the interval between adjacent third-color sub-pixels P3 in the two pixel units P is smaller, which is smaller than the width of the interval between the third-color sub-pixel P3 and other sub-pixels in the same pixel unit P. This makes it convenient for two adjacent third-color sub-pixels P3 to share the same opening of the mask for evaporation, and is also beneficial to increase the pixel opening area of ​​the third-color sub-pixel P3 to simplify the manufacturing difficulty of the third-color sub-pixel P3.

[0071] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in the two mirror-arranged pixel units P, the shapes of the adjacent third color sub-pixels P3 are the same, and the third color sub-pixels P3 are isosceles right triangles, or, please refer to Figure 10 The third color sub-pixel P3 includes a first long side C1, a first side S1 and a second side S2 that are connected and perpendicular to each other, a first connecting side L01 and a second connecting side L02, wherein the first connecting side L01 connects the first end of the first long side C1 and the first side S1, and the second connecting side L02 connects the second end of the first long side C1 and the second side S2. The first long side C1 is the longest side of the third color sub-pixel P3, wherein: Figure 10 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing another pixel arrangement of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0072] Specifically, Figure 8 and Figure 9 The illustrated embodiment shows a solution in which the shape of adjacent third-color sub-pixels P3 in two mirror-arranged pixel units P is an isosceles right triangle. The two adjacent third-color sub-pixels P3 have a right-angled side adjacent to each other. When the third sub-pixels are evaporated in the process, the two adjacent third sub-pixels can share the same opening of the mask for evaporation, so that the evaporated material can fully fill the corner space of the isosceles right triangle, which is beneficial to improving the overall aperture ratio of the display panel.

[0073] Figure 10In the pixel arrangement diagram of the illustrated embodiment, adjacent third-color sub-pixels P3 are pentagonal in shape, which can be viewed as the result of cutting the two acute angles of an isosceles right triangle. Considering that when forming an opening on a mask, if the shape of the opening includes an angle between two straight edges forming an electrode, the smaller the angle, the more difficult the mask manufacturing process will be. Figure 10 In the corresponding embodiment, the smaller acute angle in the isosceles right triangle is eliminated, so that the angle between two adjacent sides is greater than or equal to 90 degrees, which is beneficial to reducing the difficulty of the mask manufacturing process and thus beneficial to improving the overall production efficiency of the display panel.

[0074] In some other embodiments of the present invention, when adjacent sub-pixels along the first direction D1 or the second direction D2 are arranged in a mirror image, the shape of the sub-pixels in the pixel unit P may also be embodied as follows, for example: Figure 11 or Figure 12 The shape shown is similar to the shape of an isosceles right triangle after cutting the corners, where Figure 11 and Figure 12 Another pixel arrangement schematic diagram of the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present invention is shown respectively.

[0075] Figure 13 FIG2 is a schematic diagram of a film layer of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to FIG2 Figure 13 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, in two mirror-arranged pixel units P, the light-emitting layers 22 of adjacent third-color sub-pixels P3 are connected.

[0076] It should be noted that Figure 13 Only the film layer structure corresponding to two adjacent third color sub-pixels P3 in the display panel is shown, and does not represent the actual number and size of the film layers contained in the display panel. Optionally, the display panel includes a substrate 00, an array layer 10 arranged on the substrate 00, a light-emitting element layer 20 arranged on the side of the array layer 10 away from the substrate 00, and an encapsulation layer 30 arranged on the side of the light-emitting element layer 20 away from the substrate 00, wherein the light-emitting element layer 20 includes an anode 21, a light-emitting layer 22 and a cathode 23, the light-emitting layer 22 is prepared by evaporation, the array layer 10 includes a plurality of transistors T0, and at least some of the transistors T0 are electrically connected to the anode 21 of the light-emitting element. Please combine Figures 8 to 12In the two mirror-image pixel units P, the light-emitting layers 22 of adjacent third-color sub-pixels P3 are connected. That is, the light-emitting layers 22 of the two adjacent third-color sub-pixels P3 can share the same mask opening for vapor deposition. This helps increase the size of the mask opening required for vapor deposition of the light-emitting layer 22, reduces the number of openings in the metal mask used in the deposition process, and avoids weakening the metal mask due to excessive number of openings or small size, thereby improving the strength of the metal mask. It should be noted that the connecting portion of the light-emitting layers 22 of two adjacent third-color sub-pixels P3 does not contact the anode 21 of the corresponding third sub-pixel. Therefore, the connecting portion does not emit light and does not affect the normal light emission of the two third-color sub-pixels P3.

[0077] Continue to refer Figure 13 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, in two mirror-arranged pixel units P, adjacent third-color sub-pixels P3 are electrically connected to different pixel driving circuits.

[0078] Figure 13 Only the transistor T0 connected to the anode 21 of the light-emitting element is shown. The transistor T0 may be, for example, a driving transistor T0 in a driving circuit. It is understandable that the driving circuit may also include multiple other transistors. For example, the driving circuit may be embodied as a 7T1C driving circuit or an 8T1C driving circuit in the related art, or any other feasible driving circuit. The present invention does not specifically limit this.

[0079] Specifically, please combine Figures 8 to 13 In the embodiment of the present invention, when the light-emitting layers 22 of two adjacent third-color sub-pixels P3 in two mirror-image pixel units P are connected, the anodes 21 of the two third-color sub-pixels P3 are further defined as independent and insulated from each other, and the anodes 21 of different third-color sub-pixels P3 are connected to different drive circuits. In other words, each third-color sub-pixel P3 is controlled by an independent drive circuit to emit light. This improves the control flexibility of each third-color sub-pixel P3 and meets the display requirements of the display panel for different images.

[0080] Figure 14 FIG. 1 is another schematic diagram of pixel arrangement of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. Figure 14 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the sub-pixels in two pixel units P adjacent to each other along the first direction D1 are arranged in a mirror image, and the sub-pixels in two pixel units P adjacent to each other along the second direction D2 are arranged in a mirror image, and the third color sub-pixels P3 in the mirror image-arranged pixel units P are adjacent.

[0081] Specifically, Figure 14The illustrated embodiment shows a scheme in which two pixel units P adjacent along the first direction D1 and adjacent along the second direction D2 are arranged in a mirror image. In this way, the four third-color sub-pixels P3 in the four pixel units P adjacent to each other in the upper, lower, left, and right directions are adjacent to each other. Optionally, the width of the spacing between two adjacent third-color sub-pixels P3 in the four third-color sub-pixels P3 in the aforementioned four pixel units P is smaller than the width of the spacing between the third-color sub-pixel P3 and other color sub-pixels in the pixel unit P. The four third-color sub-pixels P3 can share the same opening of the mask for evaporation. This pixel arrangement is more conducive to increasing the size of the opening in the mask, and is more conducive to reducing the number of openings in the metal mask used in the process. Therefore, it is more conducive to avoiding the reduction of the strength of the metal mask due to too many openings and too small a size, thereby improving the strength of the metal mask.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 , Figure 15 Shown is another film layer schematic diagram of the display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. In an optional embodiment of the present invention, in some pixel units P adjacent along the first direction D1, two first color sub-pixels P1 are adjacent, and the light-emitting layers 22 of the two adjacent first color sub-pixels P1 are connected.

[0083] Specifically, when adjacent pixel units P are arranged in a mirror-image arrangement along the first direction D1, two first-color sub-pixels P1 in at least some of the adjacent pixel units P are adjacent, and the light-emitting layers 22 of the two adjacent first-color sub-pixels P1 are connected. In other words, the two adjacent first-color sub-pixels P1 can share the same opening in the reticle for vapor deposition. This also helps increase the size of the reticle openings required for vapor deposition of the first-color sub-pixels P1, reducing the number of openings included in the reticle. This also helps avoid reducing the strength of the metal reticle due to an excessive number of openings or small openings, thereby improving the strength of the metal reticle. It should be noted that the connecting portion of the light-emitting layers 22 of two adjacent first-color sub-pixels P1 does not contact the anode 21 of the corresponding second sub-pixel, and therefore does not emit light, thereby not affecting the normal light emission of the two first-color sub-pixels P1.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 14 and Figure 16 , Figure 16 Shown is another film layer schematic diagram of the display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. In an optional embodiment of the present invention, in some pixel units P adjacent along the second direction D2, two second color sub-pixels P2 are adjacent, and the light-emitting layers 22 of the two adjacent second color sub-pixels P2 are connected.

[0085] Specifically, when adjacent pixel units P are arranged in a mirror-image arrangement along the second direction D2, two second-color sub-pixels P2 in at least some of the adjacent pixel units P are adjacent, and the light-emitting layers 22 of the two adjacent second-color sub-pixels P2 are connected. In other words, the two adjacent second-color sub-pixels P2 can share the same opening in the reticle for vapor deposition. This also helps increase the size of the reticle openings required for vapor deposition of the second-color sub-pixels P2, reducing the number of openings included in the reticle. This also helps avoid reducing the strength of the metal reticle due to an excessive number of openings or small openings, thereby improving the strength of the metal reticle. It should be noted that the connecting portion of the light-emitting layers 22 of two adjacent second-color sub-pixels P2 does not contact the anode 21 of the corresponding second sub-pixel, and therefore does not emit light, thereby not affecting the normal light emission of the two second-color sub-pixels P2.

[0086] Figure 17 FIG2 is a top view of a sub-pixel and a data line L2 in a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 17 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, along the thickness direction of the display panel, at least part of the sub-pixels do not overlap with the data line L2.

[0087] Specifically, when arranging the sub-pixels and the data line L2 in the display panel, at least some of the sub-pixels and the data line L2 are staggered so that the anodes 21 of at least some of the sub-pixels do not overlap with the data line L2. Figure 17 In the embodiment shown, the anodes 21 of the first color sub-pixel P1 and the second color sub-pixel P2 do not overlap with the data line L2, which can reduce the coupling capacitance between the data line L2 and the anode of the sub-pixel, and prevent the signal on the data line L2 from affecting the signal on the anode 21 of the sub-pixel, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the sub-pixel display. It should be noted that in the actual film layer structure, for example, please refer to Figure 16 The data line L2 (optionally, in the same layer as the source and drain of the transistor T0 ) is located on the side of the anode 21 of the sub-pixel facing the substrate 00 .

[0088] Optionally, when the sub-pixels and the data lines L2 are actually arranged, the data lines L2 are evenly arranged in the display area. When the width of the third color sub-pixel P3 with a larger pixel opening area along the first direction D1 is greater than the distance between adjacent data lines L2, the third color sub-pixel P3 with a larger pixel opening area will inevitably overlap with part of the data lines L2 along the thickness direction of the display panel. At this time, the shape of the third color sub-pixel P3 can be transformed to form a certain hollow K on the third color sub-pixel P3, and the anode 21 of the sub-pixel forms a hollow K at the same position. For example, please refer to Figure 18, so that the hollow K overlaps with the data line L2 along the thickness direction of the display panel, thereby reducing the overlapping area between the anode 21 of the third color sub-pixel P3 with a larger pixel opening area and the data line L2, thereby helping to reduce the coupling capacitance between the anode 21 of the third color sub-pixel P3 and the data line L2, and reducing the influence of the signal of the data line L2 on the potential of the anode 21 of the third color sub-pixel P3, thereby helping to ensure the display accuracy of the third color sub-pixel P3 to a certain extent. Figure 18 FIG. 1 is another top view of a sub-pixel and a data line L2 in a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0089] It should also be noted that although Figure 17 The embodiment shows a relative position relationship between the data line L2 and the pixels in the pixel unit P, in which the data line L2 at least partially overlaps with the pixels in the pixel unit P along a direction perpendicular to the light-emitting surface of the display panel. However, from the actual film layer structure, the data line L2 is located on the side of the pixel facing away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel. Therefore, the data line L2 does not block the opening of the pixel and does not affect the screen-to-body ratio of the display panel.

[0090] Continue to refer Figure 17 and Figure 18 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, sub-pixels of the same color located in the same column along the second direction D2 are connected to the same data line L2.

[0091] Specifically, in the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present invention, multiple sub-pixels of the same color are located in the same column, and sub-pixels of different colors form multiple columns of sub-pixels of different colors. In this embodiment, the sub-pixels of the same color located in the same column are connected to the same data line L2, and the sub-pixels in different columns are respectively connected to different data lines L2. The sub-pixels of the same color in the same column share the same data line L2, which is beneficial to reducing the number of data lines L2 actually included in the display panel, thereby helping to simplify the wiring complexity of the display panel.

[0092] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the first color sub-pixel P1 is a green sub-pixel, the second color sub-pixel P2 is a red sub-pixel, and the third color sub-pixel P3 is a blue sub-pixel.

[0093] Due to the characteristics of the light-emitting materials corresponding to sub-pixels of different colors, the lifespan of the blue light-emitting material is relatively low, while the lifespans of the red and green light-emitting materials are relatively high. In the embodiment of the present invention, the pixel opening area of ​​the blue sub-pixel with a lower lifespan is set to the maximum to balance the lifespan difference between the blue sub-pixel and the red and green sub-pixels, thereby helping to extend the service life of the display panel.

[0094] Figure 19Another arrangement diagram of sub-pixels in the same pixel unit P is shown. Figure 19 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, in the same pixel unit P, the minimum distance between the first color sub-pixel P1 and the second color sub-pixel P2 is a, the minimum distance between the third color sub-pixel P3 and the second color sub-pixel P2 is b, and the minimum distance between the first color sub-pixel P1 and the third color sub-pixel P3 is c, where a=b≥c.

[0095] Continue to refer Figure 19 Optionally, the first color subpixel P1 is a green subpixel, the second color subpixel P2 is a red subpixel, and the third color subpixel P3 is a blue subpixel. In this embodiment, the minimum distance between a green subpixel and a red subpixel is set to a, the minimum distance between a red subpixel and a blue subpixel is set to b, and the minimum distance between a green subpixel and a blue subpixel is set to c. Considering that the red light corresponding to the red subpixel has a longer wavelength, when actually manufacturing the red subpixel, the thickness of the light-emitting layer of the red subpixel is set to be greater than the thickness of the light-emitting layers of the green and blue subpixels. By increasing the width of the intervals between the red subpixel and the green and blue subpixels, the process margin is increased, thereby improving the process yield.

[0096] Continue to refer Figure 19 In an optional embodiment of the present invention, in the same pixel unit P, at least one side of the first color sub-pixel P1 is parallel to a side of the second color sub-pixel P2, and at least one side of the first color sub-pixel P1 is parallel to a side of the third color sub-pixel P3; in the same pixel unit P, in the sub-pixels of two adjacent colors, the two parallel sides are adjacent.

[0097] Specifically, in the same pixel unit P, two adjacent sides of two adjacent sub-pixels are arranged in parallel. For example, the side B1 in the first color sub-pixel P1 and the side B2 in the second color sub-pixel P2 are respectively adjacent to and parallel to the side B3 in the third sub-pixel, and the side B4 in the first color sub-pixel P1 is adjacent to and parallel to the side B5 in the second color sub-pixel P2. The extension direction of the parallel sides intersects with both the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. This arrangement of the sub-pixels in the pixel unit P is beneficial to improving the space utilization of the pixel unit P, thereby improving the pixel aperture ratio of the display panel, and further improving the display effect of the display panel.

[0098] Figure 20 FIG2 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a display device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to FIG2 Figure 20Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention further provides a display device 200, comprising the display panel 100 in any of the above embodiments of the present invention.

[0099] It is understood that the display device 200 provided in the embodiment of the present invention can be a mobile phone, tablet, computer, television, vehicle-mounted display device, or other display device with display functions, and the present invention does not specifically limit this. The display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention has the beneficial effects of the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention. For details, please refer to the detailed description of the display panel in the above embodiments, and this embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0100] In summary, the display panel and display device provided by the present invention achieve at least the following beneficial effects:

[0101] The display panel and display device provided by the present invention include a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array along a first direction and a second direction, wherein the same pixel unit includes three sub-pixels of different luminous colors, wherein the pixel opening area of ​​the third color sub-pixel is larger than the pixel opening areas of the first color sub-pixel and the second color sub-pixel. Along the first direction, the third color sub-pixel overlaps with the first color sub-pixel and does not overlap with the second color sub-pixel; along the second direction, the third color sub-pixel overlaps with the second color sub-pixel and does not overlap with the first color sub-pixel. Such an arrangement makes the arrangement of the three sub-pixels in the same pixel unit more compact, which is beneficial to improving the aperture ratio and screen-to-body ratio of the display panel compared to the method of arranging the three sub-pixels in the same column or row in the pixel unit, thereby improving the display quality.

[0102] In addition, in the same pixel unit, each of the three sub-pixels has a longest side, wherein the longest side of the first color sub-pixel extends in the second direction and is located on the side of the sub-pixel that is away from the geometric center of the region where the pixel unit is located; the longest side of the second color sub-pixel extends in the first direction and is located on the side of the sub-pixel that is away from the geometric center of the region where the pixel unit is located; the longest side of the third color sub-pixel extends in a direction that intersects both the first and second directions and is located on the side of the sub-pixel that is toward the geometric center of the region where the pixel unit is located. With this design, the longest side of the first color sub-pixel, the longest side of the second color sub-pixel, and the other sides of the third color sub-pixel except the longest side together constitute the outline of the pixel unit. This arrangement also helps to improve the compactness of the arrangement of the three sub-pixels in the pixel unit, further improve the aperture ratio and screen-to-body ratio of the display panel, and thus further improve the display quality.

[0103] Although some specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above examples are for illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
