[0040] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0042] As mentioned in the background technology, the secondary screen area of ​​existing display panels requires the installation of light-sensitive devices, which requires increased light transmittance. How to improve the secondary screen area's light transmittance while also enhancing its display quality has become a pressing technical challenge in the industry. The inventors have discovered that by rationally wiring and properly configuring the secondary screen's pixel drive circuits, the pixel density of the secondary screen area can be increased, effectively improving its display quality.

[0043] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is an enlarged schematic diagram of a D region of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 2The display panel 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes a first display area 10 and a second display area 20, wherein the transmittance of the second display area 20 is greater than the transmittance of the first display area 10; the second display area 20 includes at least a first transparent display area 21 and a second transparent display area 22, wherein the first transparent display area 21 is located between the first display area 10 and the second transparent display area 22. The display panel 100 provided in this embodiment also includes a first pixel driving circuit 1, a first sub-pixel 2, and a second sub-pixel 3; the first pixel driving circuit 1 is located in the first display area 10, the first sub-pixel 2 is located in the first transparent display area 21, and the second sub-pixel 3 is located in the second transparent display area 22; a first routing line 4 and a second routing line 5, wherein the first routing line 4 is connected between the corresponding first pixel driving circuit 1 and the first sub-pixel 2, and the second routing line 5 is connected between the corresponding first pixel driving circuit 1 and the second sub-pixel 3; the first routing line 4 passes through the first transparent display area 21, and at least a portion of the second routing line 5 bypasses the first transparent display area 21.

[0044] Specifically, the first display area 10 can be a main screen area or a transition area, and the second display area 20 can be a transparent area. The first sub-pixel 2 of the second display area 20 is electrically connected to the first pixel driver circuit 1 provided in the first display area 10 via a first trace 4. The second sub-pixel 3 of the second display area 20 is electrically connected to the first pixel driver circuit 1 provided in the first display area 10 via a second trace 5. The first sub-pixel 2 and the second sub-pixel 3 are driven by the first pixel driver circuit 1, resulting in a high degree of light transmittance in the second display area 20, facilitating the installation of optical sensing devices such as optical sensors and cameras that require high light transmittance.

[0045] The second display area 20 includes at least a first transparent display area 21 and a second transparent display area 22. The first transparent display area 21 is arranged between the first display area 10 and the second transparent display area 22. When the second display area 20 includes two or more first transparent display areas 21, the two or more first transparent display areas 21 can be respectively arranged on different sides of the second transparent display area 22. It is sufficient to ensure that the first transparent display area 21 is located between the first display area 10 and the second transparent display area 22. It should be noted that Figure 2 The case where the second display area 20 includes a first transparent display area 21 is exemplarily shown, and no limitation is given here.

[0046] Because the first transparent display area 21 is disposed between the first display area 10 and the second transparent display area 22, the first sub-pixel 2 located in the first transparent display area 21 is electrically connected to the corresponding first pixel driving circuit 1 located in the first display area 10 via the first routing line 4, and the first routing line 4 passes through the first transparent display area 21. This arrangement facilitates the electrical connection of the first sub-pixel 2 located in the first transparent display area 21 with the corresponding first pixel driving circuit 1 located in the first display area 10 via the first routing line 4, thereby shortening the routing of the first routing line 4 from the first transparent display area 21 to the first display area 10, thereby saving routing space on the display panel.

[0047] Because the first transparent display area 21 is disposed between the second transparent display area 22 and the first display area 10, the second sub-pixels 3 located in the second transparent display area 22 are electrically connected to the corresponding first pixel driving circuit 1 located in the first display area 10 via the second routing lines 5, and at least a portion of the second routing lines 5 bypasses the first transparent display area 21. This arrangement allows the second sub-pixels 3 located in the second transparent display area 22 to bypass the first transparent display area 21. In other words, the second routing lines 5 can be routed through the first display area 10, or the second routing lines 5 can be routed through a non-display area, such as the border area of ​​the display panel, without any limitation herein.

[0048] This arrangement allows for the maximum number of first routing lines 4 passing through the first transparent display area 21 adjacent to the first display area 10, while also allowing for the maximum number of second routing lines 5 bypassing the first transparent display area 21. This increases the number of first routing lines 4 and second routing lines 5 connected to the first sub-pixels 2 and second sub-pixels 3. Within the same wiring space, the second display area 20 can accommodate a greater number of first sub-pixels 2 connected to the first routing lines 4 and second sub-pixels 3 connected to the second routing lines 5. This arrangement increases the sub-pixel density of the first sub-pixels 2 and second sub-pixels 3 located in the second display area 20, significantly improving the display quality of the second display area 20 and, consequently, the display quality of the display panel.

[0049] The technical solution provided in this embodiment is to arrange a first transparent display area between the first display area and the second transparent display area. A first routing line is connected between the corresponding first pixel driving circuit in the first display area and the first sub-pixel in the first transparent display area, and a second routing line is connected between the corresponding first pixel driving circuit and the second sub-pixel in the second transparent display area. The first routing line passes through the first transparent display area, and at least part of the second routing line bypasses the first transparent display area. This allows for both maximizing the number of first routing lines passing through the first transparent display area adjacent to the first display area and maximizing the number of second routing lines bypassing the first transparent display area, thereby increasing the sub-pixel density of the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel in the second display area and improving the display effect of the display panel.

[0050] It should be noted that this embodiment only exemplifies the arrangement of the first sub-pixel 2 and the second sub-pixel 3 and is not intended to limit the present invention. In other embodiments, the arrangement of the first sub-pixel 2 and the second sub-pixel 3 may be RGB arrangement, RGBG arrangement, pentile arrangement (diamond arrangement), RGBW arrangement, RGB Delta arrangement, RGB S-Strip arrangement, or other arrangements.

[0051] It should be noted that the first wiring 4 and the second wiring 5 provided in this embodiment are both electrode wirings, such as anode wirings.

[0052] Optional, Figure 3 FIG is a schematic diagram of another display panel structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 , the second routing line 5 is arranged around the first routing line 4 .

[0053] Specifically, such an arrangement allows the first pixel driving circuit 1 close to the first transparent display area 21 to be connected to the first sub-pixel 2 through the first wiring 4. The second wiring 5 is arranged around the first wiring 4, so that the first pixel driving circuit 1 connected to the second wiring 5 is arranged at a position of the first pixel driving circuit 1 connected to the first wiring 4 away from the first transparent display area 21. The second sub-pixel 3 connected to the second wiring 5 is arranged on the side of the first sub-pixel 2 connected to the first wiring 4 away from the first display area 10. Such an arrangement facilitates the wiring of the first wiring 4 and the second wiring 5 in different areas, avoiding overlap of the first wiring 4 and the second wiring 5 along the thickness direction of the display panel, thereby reducing mutual interference between the signals transmitted on the first wiring 4 and the second wiring 5, and further improving the display effect of the display panel. On the other hand, the second wiring 5 is arranged around the first wiring 4, the process is simple, and it is convenient to manufacture the first wiring 4 and the second wiring 5. It should be noted that Figure 3 The example shows that the second wiring 5 is arranged around the first wiring 4 through the non-display area, and no limitation is given here.

[0054] Optionally, the shapes of the first wiring 4 and the second wiring 5 may be serpentine, S-shaped, lightning-shaped, etc., which are not limited here.

[0055] Optional, Figure 4 FIG is a structural diagram of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4The first display area 10 includes a first main display area 101 and a second main display area 102; along the first direction X, the first main display area 101 is adjacent to the first transparent display area 21; along the second direction Y, the second main display area 102 is at least partially arranged around the second transparent display area 22; wherein the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X; the first routing line 4 passes through the first main display area 101, and at least part of the second routing line 5 passes through the second main display area 102.

[0056] Specifically, the shape of the second display area 20 can be a square, a circle, a runway, etc., and is not limited here. In an optional application scenario, the display panel can be a full screen, and at least part of the second display area 20 is surrounded by the first display area 10. Along the first direction X, the first main display area 101 is adjacent to the first transparent display area 21, and the first main display area 101 can be arranged on the side of the first transparent display area 21 away from the second transparent display area 22. The first line 4 can pass through the first transparent display area 21 and the first main display area 101. Optionally, the first line 4 can extend along the first direction X. Figure 4 The case where the first trace 4 extends along the first direction X is exemplarily shown.

[0057] The second wiring 5 extends through the second transparent display area 22 and the second main display area 102 to the first main display area 101. Figure 4 As an example, the first end of the second trace 5 is shown extending from the second sub-pixel 3 of the second transparent display area 22 to the second main display area 102 along the second direction Y, and then extending along the first direction X within the second main display area 102. Along the second direction Y, the second end of the second trace 5 extends from the second main display area 102 to the first pixel driver circuit 1 of the first main display area 101. Extending the second trace 5 along the second direction Y to the second main display area 102 adjacent to the second transparent area facilitates configuring the first trace 4 and the second trace 5 as a single layer without increasing the thickness of the display panel. This also helps increase the wiring space for the first trace 4 and the second trace 5, increases the density of the sub-pixels in the second display area 20, and further improves the display quality of the display panel.

[0058] Optional, Figure 5 This is a structural diagram of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 and Figure 5The display panel provided in this embodiment may further include a third sub-pixel 6, which is located in the first display area 10; a plurality of regularly arranged pixel driving units 7, which are located in the first display area 10; the pixel driving unit 7 includes at least n first pixel driving circuits 1 and m second pixel driving circuits 8; m and n are natural numbers, where n<m; the second pixel driving circuit 8 is electrically connected to the third sub-pixel 6; the first sub-pixel 2 and the second sub-pixel 3 are electrically connected to the first pixel driving circuit 1 located in the first main display area 101.

[0059] Specifically, m second pixel driving circuits 8 are used to drive the third sub-pixel 6 of the first display area 10 to emit light. Since the area of ​​the second display area 20 is much smaller than the area of ​​the first display area 10, the number of first pixel driving circuits 1 used to drive the first sub-pixel 2 and the second sub-pixel 3 of the second display area 20 to emit light is less than the number of second pixel driving circuits 8 used to drive the third sub-pixel 6 of the first display area 10 to emit light. This arrangement can make the display effect of the first display area 10 better, and the first pixel driving circuit 1 used to drive the first sub-pixel 2 and the second sub-pixel 3 of the second display area 20 to emit light can be set in the first display area 10, so as to improve the transmittance of the second display area 20. It should be noted that Figure 4 The example shows that the pixel driving unit 7 includes at least three first pixel driving circuits 1 and one second pixel driving circuit 8, which is not limited here.

[0060] The first display area 10 can be provided with a pixel driving unit 7, so that each pixel driving unit 7 of the first display area 10 can be prepared in the same process, reducing the process cost. The area of ​​the first display area 10 other than the first main display area 101, such as the first pixel driving circuit 1 of the second main display area 102, can be not connected to the sub-pixel. The first pixel driving circuit 1 located in the first main display area 101 is electrically connected to the first sub-pixel 2 and the second sub-pixel 3. In this way, the first pixel driving circuit 1 located in the first main display area 101 drives the first sub-pixel 2 and the second sub-pixel 3 located in the second display area 20. Since the first main display area 101 and the first transparent display area 21 and the second transparent display area 22 are arranged in sequence along the first direction X, for example, when the first direction X is the row direction, it is convenient for the signal line arranged along the row direction to transmit the driving signal to the first pixel driving circuit 1 to drive the first sub-pixel 2 and the second sub-pixel 3 in the second display area 20 having the same extension direction as the row where the first pixel driving circuit 1 is located.

[0061] It should be noted that Figure 5 The case where the first sub-pixel 2, the second sub-pixel 3 and the third sub-pixel 6 are rectangular is exemplarily shown. Figure 4 The case where the first sub-pixel 2 and the second sub-pixel 3 are circular is shown as an example, and no limitation is given here.

[0062] Optional, Figure 6 FIG is a structural diagram of another display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 , in a single pixel driving unit 7 located in the first main display area 101, m second pixel driving circuits 8 and n first pixel driving circuits 1 are in the first direction X, and the m second pixel driving circuits 8 constitute a collaborative driving unit of a third pixel; at least three first pixel driving circuits 1 in at least three adjacent pixel driving units 7 constitute a collaborative driving unit of a first pixel and a collaborative driving unit of a second pixel; wherein, the first pixel includes at least three first sub-pixels 2 of different luminous colors; the second pixel includes at least three second sub-pixels 3 of different luminous colors; and the third pixel includes at least three third sub-pixels 6 of different luminous colors.

[0063] Specifically, at least three first pixel driving circuits 1 in at least three adjacent pixel driving units 7 constitute a collaborative driving unit for the first pixel and a collaborative driving unit for the second pixel, that is, at least three first pixel driving circuits 1 in three or more adjacent pixel driving units 7 jointly drive the first pixel. At least three first pixel driving circuits 1 in at least three adjacent pixel driving units 7 jointly drive the second pixel, so that the number of first pixel driving circuits 1 in a single pixel driving unit 7 can be set to be relatively small.

[0064] For example, when n is equal to 1, each pixel driving unit 7 includes m second pixel driving circuits 8 and one first pixel driving circuit 1. In this way, the first pixel driving circuit 1 and the second pixel driving circuit 8 in a single pixel driving unit 7 have sufficient design space, and the first pixel driving circuit 1 and the second pixel driving circuit 8 can be designed to be larger, so that the first pixel driving circuit 1 and the second pixel driving circuit 8 have sufficiently large driving capabilities, so that the second display area 20 has a better display effect, and the arrangement of the first wiring 4 is simpler, further reducing the space occupied by the first wiring 4, and improving the display effect of the display panel.

[0065] It should be noted that a collaborative driving unit composed of at least three first pixel driving circuits 1 in at least three adjacent pixel driving units 7 can drive one first pixel or one second pixel, or can drive two or more first pixels or second pixels, that is, one first pixel driving circuit 1 in a collaborative driving unit can drive one first sub-pixel 2 or one second sub-pixel 3, or can drive two or more first pixels of the same color in the first sub-pixels 2, or can drive two or more second pixels of the same color in the second sub-pixels 3. No limitation is imposed here.
