Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, and more particularly to a display panel and a display device. Background Technology

[0002] The display panel used for 3D display has a large number of sub-pixels, which makes the wiring of the data lines in the display panel more complex. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Embodiments of this application provide a display panel and a display device, with simple wiring for the data connection lines.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solutions:

[0005] On one hand, embodiments of this application provide a display panel including a data connection line and a plurality of pixel islands arranged in an array, each pixel island including N pixels, where N is an odd number greater than 1, and different pixels are configured to display images from different viewpoints;

[0006] The plurality of pixel islands are provided with a plurality of lenses on the side facing the light-emitting surface. The projection of the lenses on the pixel islands covers the plurality of pixels. The lenses are configured to adjust the light-emitting angle of the pixel islands.

[0007] The display panel includes multiple array units arranged in an array, each array unit including M pixels, where M is an even number greater than N; every two pixels in one array unit are connected to a data connection line, which is configured to provide data signals to the two pixels.

[0008] In some implementations, M = n*(N+1), where n is a positive integer.

[0009] In some implementations, M = N + 1, or M = 2 * (N + 1).

[0010] In some implementations, one of the data connection lines is connected to two adjacent pixels within one of the array cells.

[0011] In some embodiments, the plurality of pixel islands includes a first pixel island and a second pixel island arranged adjacent to each other, the first pixel island including a first pixel, the second pixel island including a second pixel, the first pixel and the second pixel being arranged adjacent to each other and belonging to the same array unit;

[0012] The distance between the first pixel and the second pixel is greater than or equal to the distance between two adjacent pixels within the pixel island.

[0013] In some implementations, when the distance between the first pixel and the second pixel is greater than the distance between two adjacent pixels within the pixel island, a load compensation circuit is provided between the data connection line and the first pixel and / or the second pixel.

[0014] In some implementations, when the distance between the first pixel and the second pixel is equal to the distance between two adjacent pixels within the pixel island, the data connection line is located at the midpoint between the two adjacent pixels.

[0015] In some embodiments, the display panel further includes a non-light-emitting load pixel, and the data connection line includes a third data connection line, one side of which is connected to the pixel and the other side of which is connected to the load pixel.

[0016] In some embodiments, the array unit further includes an initialization connection line that provides an initialization signal for all the pixels in the array unit and a compensation connection line that provides a compensation voltage for all the pixels in the array unit;

[0017] When M=2*(N+1), the M pixels are arranged sequentially, with the initialization connection line provided in the first N+1 pixel region and the compensation connection line provided in the last N+1 pixel region.

[0018] In some embodiments, the display panel is an OLED display panel, and the distance between the anodes of two adjacent pixels is 2.4~3.0um; the pixel definition layer wrapped around the anode has a dimension of 1.0um~1.5um along the direction parallel to the light-emitting surface.

[0019] In some embodiments, three lenses are provided for each pair of adjacent pixel islands.

[0020] On the other hand, embodiments of this application provide a display device including the aforementioned display panel.

[0021] The display panel provided in this application embodiment contains an even number of pixels in its array unit, allowing every two pixels in the array unit to share a single data connection line. This avoids a situation where a single data connection line only provides data signals to one pixel within an array unit, resulting in better symmetry in the arrangement of the data connection lines and reduced wiring complexity. Furthermore, since each data connection line connects to two pixels, the RC-loading between each data connection line and the pixels is equal or closer, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel.

[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0040] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth" are used to distinguish the same or similar items with essentially the same function and effect, only for the purpose of clearly describing the technical solution of the embodiments of this application, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated.

[0041] In the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more, and "at least one" means one or more, unless otherwise explicitly defined.

[0042] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "upper" and "lower" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0043] This application provides a display panel, which includes a data connection line and a plurality of pixel islands arranged in an array. Each pixel island includes a plurality of pixels, and different pixels are configured to display images from different viewpoints.

[0044] In practical applications, each pixel includes a pixel driving circuit, which contains data signal lines. The pixel's light emission is controlled by the data signals in these data signal lines. One end of the data connection line can be connected to the data signal lines to transmit data signals from one data connection line to another. The other end of the data connection line can be connected to the driver chip to receive data signals from the driver chip.

[0045] Data connection lines can be connected to data signal lines of multiple pixels. For example, the pixels are arranged in a rectangular array, and the data connection lines are parallel to the pixel columns and configured to provide data signals to one or more columns of pixels.

[0046] Each pixel can emit a single color of light, such as red, green, blue, or other colors. Alternatively, a pixel can emit different colors of light; for example, a pixel may include red, green, and blue light-emitting units, with the three units working together to emit different colors of light. In this case, each of the red, green, and blue light-emitting units has a data signal line, and all data signal lines are connected to a data connection line.

[0047] Each pixel island contains multiple pixels, and different pixels within the same pixel island are used to display different images. It's important to note that "different images" refers to images with different displayed content. Let's take an example of a pixel island containing pixels one, two, and three. In multiple pixel islands arranged in an array, pixels one in each island work together to display an image of an apple, pixels two in each island work together to display an image of a banana, and pixels three in each island work together to display an image of an orange.

[0048] It's understandable that a pixel island can contain two, four, five, six, or more pixels, and the principle is the same as described above. The order of pixels within different pixel islands can be the same or different. Taking a pixel island containing pixels one, two, and three as an example, pixels one, two, and three can be arranged sequentially, and all pixel islands follow this order; however, the order of pixels one, two, and three can also differ between different pixel islands.

[0049] Figure 1 This is a layout diagram of a pixel island in a display panel in related technologies. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the pixel island includes 11 pixels 110, which are arranged in a horizontal array as shown. Each pixel 110 includes a red light-emitting unit 111, a green light-emitting unit 112, and a blue light-emitting unit 113 arranged vertically as shown. Each pixel 110 is used to display a corresponding image, and different pixels 110 are used to display different images.

[0050] With technological advancements and increasing user demands, the pixel density of display panels is becoming increasingly higher, meaning that the number of pixels 110 arranged within the same area is increasing. The more pixels 110 there are, the more data connection lines 120 there are, leading to more complex wiring for these lines.

[0051] To reduce the number of data connection lines 120, within a pixel island, every two pixels 110 share one data connection line 120, thereby reducing the total number of data connection lines 120. (Continue to refer to...) Figure 1A first gate line 131 and a second gate line 132 are respectively set for each red light-emitting unit 111. When the first gate line 131 is activated, the red light-emitting unit 111 on the left side of the data connection line 120 is activated, and the data connection line 120 transmits data signals to the red light-emitting unit 111 on the left. When the second gate line 132 is activated, the red light-emitting unit 111 on the right side of the data connection line 120 is activated, and the data connection line 120 transmits data signals to the red light-emitting unit 111 on the right. The first gate line 131 and the second gate line 132 cannot be activated simultaneously. The working process of the green light-emitting unit 112 and the blue light-emitting unit 113 is similar and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] However, when the number of pixels 110 included in a pixel island is odd, a data connection line 120 will provide a separate data signal for one pixel 110 in the pixel island, resulting in an asymmetrical arrangement of the data connection lines 120 in the pixel island, which increases the wiring difficulty of the display panel.

[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A single pixel island contains 11 pixels 110. The first 10 pixels 110 from left to right are grouped in pairs, with each pair sharing a data connection line 120, for a total of 5 data connection lines 120. The 11th pixel 110 uses its own data connection line 120. This results in different RC-loading between the first 5 data connection lines 120 and the pixels 110, and different RC-loading between the 6th data connection line 120 and the pixels 110. Consequently, the display brightness of the 11th pixel 110 differs from that of the first 10 pixels 110, causing vertical lines to appear on the display panel.

[0054] Therefore, in this embodiment, data connection lines are not arranged on a pixel island basis. That is, a data connection line can be connected to a pixel in one pixel island and a pixel in another pixel island at the same time, reducing or eliminating the situation where a data connection line is only connected to one pixel in a pixel island.

[0055] The display panel of this application embodiment can be applied in various scenarios. For example, the display panel can be a 3D display panel applied in a 3D display scenario. Exemplarily, multiple pixels form a pixel group, and the pixels included in the pixel group belong to different pixel islands. The display panel includes multiple pixel groups, and different pixel groups are configured to display images from different viewpoints, thereby enabling the display panel to simultaneously display images from multiple different viewpoints. Users can view images from different viewpoints, forming a 3D visual experience.

[0056] In practical applications, multiple lenses are provided on the side of the pixel islands facing the light-emitting surface. The projection of the lenses onto the pixel islands covers multiple pixels, and the lenses are configured to adjust the light-emitting angle of the pixel islands. By adjusting the light-emitting angle of the pixel islands using the lenses, users can see images from different viewpoints at different angles. It should be noted that, unlike the previous method of setting one lens for each pixel, in this embodiment, the size of the lens is larger than the size of the pixel, so that one lens corresponds to multiple pixels simultaneously.

[0057] For example, three lenses are provided for each pair of adjacent pixel islands. "Provided for each pair of adjacent pixel islands" means that the projections of the two adjacent pixel islands onto the light-emitting surface at least partially overlap with the projections of the three lenses onto the light-emitting surface. For example, the projections of the three lenses completely cover the projections of the two adjacent light-emitting surfaces; or, the projections of the three lenses cover most of the projections of the two adjacent light-emitting surfaces.

[0058] In this embodiment, the display panel is divided into multiple array units, which are arranged in an array. The internal structure and size of each array unit can be the same. For example, each array unit has the same number of pixels, and the arrangement of the pixels is the same.

[0059] Each pixel island consists of N pixels, where N is an odd number greater than 1; an array unit consists of M pixels, where M is an even number greater than N; every two pixels in an array unit are connected to a data connection line, which is configured to provide data signals to the two pixels.

[0060] Because each array unit contains an even number of pixels, every two pixels within the unit can share a single data connection line, preventing a single data connection line from providing data signals to only one pixel within the unit. This results in better symmetry in the data connection line arrangement and reduces wiring complexity. Furthermore, each data connection line connects to two pixels, ensuring that the RC-loading between each data connection line and the pixels is equal or closer, thereby improving the display panel's display effect.

[0061] In some implementations, M = n*(N+1), where n is a positive integer.

[0062] In practical applications, the number of pixels within an array unit can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation. For example, when the internal space of the array unit is small, the number of pixels in the array unit can be increased to facilitate wiring and reduce wiring difficulty. When the internal space of the array unit is large, the number of pixels in the array unit can be reduced to reduce design complexity.

[0063] For example, M = N + 1. For instance, if a pixel island contains 11 pixels, an array unit contains 12 pixels. This reduces the size of the array unit while ensuring that an array unit contains an even number of pixels, making the wiring design of the display panel simpler.

[0064] For example, M = 2*(N+1). For instance, if a pixel island contains 11 pixels, an array unit contains 2*(11+1) = 24 pixels. This ensures that an array unit contains an even number of pixels while allowing for more internal space, thus simplifying the wiring within the array unit.

[0065] When a data connection line is connected to two adjacent pixels within an array cell, the distance between the data connection line and the two pixels is reduced, making the routing easier and reducing the RC-loading between the data connection line and the pixel.

[0066] Of course, two pixels connected by the same data connection line do not have to be adjacent. For example, two pixels connected by the same data connection line may be separated by one or more pixels.

[0067] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of two pixel islands in a display panel provided in an embodiment of this application. The large dashed box on the left represents the first pixel island 200, and the large dashed box on the right represents the second pixel island 300. Figure 2 As shown, the display panel includes multiple pixel islands, including a first pixel island 200 and a second pixel island 300 arranged adjacent to each other. The first pixel island 200 includes a first pixel 210, and the second pixel island 300 includes a second pixel 310. The first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310 are configured to display different images. The first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310 are arranged adjacent to each other and belong to the same array unit. The data connection line includes a first data connection line 121 connected to the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310. The first data connection line 121 is configured to provide data signals to the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310.

[0068] For example, such as Figure 2As shown, the first pixel island 200 and the second pixel island 300 are arranged adjacent to each other. The first pixel island 200 has 11 pixels arranged horizontally. The first 10 pixels of the first pixel island 200 from left to right are grouped in pairs, with each group of pixels sharing a data connection line, for a total of 5 data connection lines. One side of the first data connection line 121 is connected to the 11th pixel (first pixel 210) in the first pixel island 200, and the other side is connected to the second pixel 310 in the second pixel island 300. This allows the first data connection line 121 to connect to two pixels simultaneously in the horizontal direction shown in the figure. Compared to the case where the first data connection line 121 is only connected to the 11th pixel in the first pixel island 200, the RC-loading between the first data connection line 121 and the pixel is equal to or closer to the RC-loading between other data connection lines and pixels, thus making the display panel display effect more uniform. Furthermore, since the data connection line connects two pixels in the horizontal direction, the distribution of each data connection line is more uniform, reducing the wiring difficulty.

[0069] In practical applications, the display panel may further include a first gate line 131 connected to the first pixel 210 and a second gate line 132 connected to the second pixel 310. When the first gate line 131 is selected, the first data connection line 121 provides a data signal to the first pixel 210; when the second gate line 132 is selected, the first data connection line 121 provides a data signal to the second pixel 310. This ensures that the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310 do not interfere with each other while sharing a single data connection line.

[0070] in, Figure 2 The diagram shows the first pixel 210 located to the right of the first pixel island 200, and the second pixel 310 located to the left of the second pixel island 300, meaning the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310 are adjacent. In practical applications, the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310 may not be adjacent; for example, other sub-pixels may be located between the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310.

[0071] For example, a sub-pixel is spaced one pixel apart from the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310, and the first data connection line 121 is connected to both the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310. Because a sub-pixel is spaced between the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310, the distance between the first data connection line 121 and the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310 increases, thus changing the RC-loading. To make the RC-loading between each data connection line and the pixels more uniform, a sub-pixel can also be spaced one pixel apart between two pixels connected to other data connection lines. For example... Figure 2In the middle, from left to right, the first and third pixels share a data connection line, the second and fourth pixels share a data connection line, and so on.

[0072] When the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310 are arranged adjacent to each other, the distance between the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310 can be equal to the distance between each pixel within the pixel island. In this case, the pixels within the display panel are arranged in an array, making the distribution of data connection lines more uniform. Furthermore, while ensuring that the RC-loading between the data connection lines and each pixel is approximately equal, no additional compensation circuit is needed between the data connection lines and the pixels, nor is it necessary to adjust the width of the data signal lines, simplifying the manufacturing process of the display panel.

[0073] The first data connection line 121 can be located in the middle of the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310, so that the distance between the first data connection line 121 and the first pixel 210 and the distance between the first data connection line 121 and the second pixel 310 are equal or approximately equal. This makes the RC-loading between the first data connection line 121 and the first pixel 210 and the RC-loading between the first data connection line 121 and the second pixel 310 approximately equal, resulting in a more uniform display effect on the display panel.

[0074] Of course, the first data connection line 121 can also be close to the first pixel 210 or the second pixel 310. In this case, in order to make the RC-loading between the first data connection line 121 and the first pixel 210 and the RC-loading between the first data connection line 121 and the second pixel 310 approximately equal, the width of the data signal lines in the first pixel 210 and / or the second pixel 310 can be adjusted, or an additional compensation circuit can be set.

[0075] In practical applications, except for the first data connection line 121 which is located between the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310, other data connection lines can also be located between the two pixels they connect to. This makes the display panel display more uniform. Furthermore, it makes the arrangement of the data connection lines more even, reducing wiring difficulty.

[0076] Furthermore, the distance between the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310 can also be greater than the distance between two adjacent pixels within a pixel island, i.e., a noticeable gap is set between the pixel islands. In this case, to ensure that the RC-loading between each data connection line and the pixel is approximately equal, a load compensation circuit is provided between the first data connection line 121 and the first pixel 210 and / or the second pixel 310. The load compensation circuit is used to compensate for differences in RC-loading.

[0077] In practical applications, such as Figure 2 As shown, multiple sub-pixels within a pixel can be arranged along a first direction (horizontal direction in the diagram), and the first pixel island 200 and the second pixel island 300 can also be arranged adjacent to each other along the first direction. The data connection lines include a second data connection line 122 connecting to two adjacent pixels within the same pixel island. The second data connection line 122 is configured to provide data signals to the two adjacent pixels. At this time, the first gate line 131 and the second gate line 132 can also be connected to other sub-pixels within the pixel to control whether or not a sub-pixel is selected. For example, from left to right, the first gate line 131 can be connected to the 1st, 3rd, 5th, etc., odd-numbered sub-pixels, and the second gate line 132 can be connected to the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc., even-numbered sub-pixels. When the first gate line 131 is turned on, the sub-pixels located in odd-numbered positions emit light, while the sub-pixels located in even-numbered positions do not emit light; when the second gate line 132 is turned on, the sub-pixels located in even-numbered positions emit light, while the sub-pixels located in odd-numbered positions do not emit light.

[0078] When a sub-pixel includes multiple light-emitting units, a first gate line 131 and a second gate line 132 can be set for each light-emitting unit. For example, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, a sub-pixel includes three light-emitting units arranged in a vertical direction, and each light-emitting unit is provided with a first gate line 131 and a second gate line 132.

[0079] For example, if the distance between the first data connection line 121 and the first pixel 210 is equal to the distance between the second data connection line 122 and other pixels within the pixel island, then a load compensation circuit is needed between the first data connection line 121 and the second pixel 210. Similarly, if the distance between the first data connection line 121 and the second pixel 210 is equal to the distance between the second data connection line 122 and other pixels within the pixel island, then a load compensation circuit is needed between the first data connection line 121 and the first pixel 210.

[0080] For example, if the first data connection line 121 is between the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310, then a load compensation circuit needs to be provided between the first data connection line 121 and both the first pixel 210 and the second pixel 310.

[0081] In practical applications, data connection lines near the edge of the display panel may still be connected to only one column of pixels, resulting in inconsistent display brightness of pixels located at the edge of the display panel compared to pixels at other locations.

[0082] Figure 3This is a partial pixel island arrangement diagram of another display panel provided in an embodiment of this application. Pixels completely contained within the same dashed frame belong to the same pixel island, while pixels not completely contained within the dashed frame do not belong to this pixel island. For example, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the display panel includes a first pixel island 200 located on the far left, a third pixel island 400 located on the far right, and other pixel islands (not shown in the figure) located between the first pixel island 200 and the third pixel island 400. The third data connection line 123 located on the far right of the display panel is only connected to the rightmost pixel of the third pixel island 400, causing a change in the RC-loading between the third data line and the rightmost pixel of the third pixel island 400.

[0083] Figure 4 This is a partial pixel island arrangement diagram of another display panel provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the display panel may also include a non-illuminated load pixel 410. One side of the third data connection line 123 is connected to the pixel, and the other side is connected to the load pixel 410. When the display panel is working, the load pixel 410 is used to balance the RC-loading of the third data connection line 123, and the load pixel 410 does not emit light when the display panel is working.

[0084] For example, the display panel is an OLED display panel. The size, structure, and arrangement of the load pixel 410 can be the same as other pixels, but the anode in the load pixel 410 is not connected to the signal connection line, so that the load pixel 410 does not emit light. Of course, the display panel in this embodiment can also be an LCD display panel, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0085] It should be noted that the third data connection line 123 is not limited to the data connection line located at the edge of the display panel as described above, but can also be other data connection lines that are only connected to one column of pixels.

[0086] The array unit also includes an initialization connection line 140 that provides initialization signals for all pixels within the array unit and a compensation connection line 150 that provides compensation voltages for all pixels within the array unit.

[0087] Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the pixel driving circuit for two pixels in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The Data nodes in the data are connected to the same data connection line. For example... Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the pixel driving circuit requires an initialization signal Vini and a compensation voltage Vref. Therefore, the display panel needs to set an initialization connection line 140 to provide the initialization signal Vini to the pixel driving circuit and a compensation connection line 150 to provide the compensation voltage Vref to the pixel driving circuit.

[0088] Since the structure within each array unit is identical, initialization connection line 140 and compensation connection line 150 need to be set within each array unit.

[0089] In practical applications, due to the high pixel density, there may not be enough space to simultaneously arrange the initialization connection line 140 and the compensation connection line 150 within the range of N+1 sub-pixels. Therefore, the array unit can contain 2N+2 sub-pixels. For example, when a pixel contains 11 sub-pixels, an array unit can contain 24 pixels, making it easier to arrange the initialization connection line 140 and the compensation connection line 150.

[0090] The specific locations of the initialization connection line 140 and the compensation connection line 150 within the array unit are not limited. For example, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, the initialization connection line 140 and the compensation connection line 150 can be located between two adjacent data signal connection lines.

[0091] The number of pixels within a single pixel is not limited to 11 and can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. Theoretically, the more pixels, the better the 3D display effect; however, a higher number of pixels results in a lower aperture ratio for the display panel and increases manufacturing difficulty. Therefore, the number of pixels within a single pixel island should be determined by comprehensively considering the manufacturing process, aperture ratio requirements, and the desired 3D display effect.

[0092] The spacing between two adjacent anodes in an OLED is 2.4~3.0um. To prevent short circuits between the anode and cathode, the pixel definition layer wrapped around the anode has a size of 1.0um~1.5um along the direction parallel to the light-emitting surface.

[0093] For example, the display panel has a display area size of 30 inches, a resolution of 3840*2160, and a pixel size of approximately 174um. Figure 8 As shown in the diagram, 14view represents a pixel island containing 14 pixels, and 11view represents a pixel island containing 11 pixels. When a pixel island contains 14 pixels, the subpixel pitch is 12.45µm, and the pixel aperture is approximately 7.25µm, which is smaller than the 8.3µm aperture required for 3D display. When a pixel island contains 11 pixels, the pixel pitch is 15.81µm, and the pixel aperture is approximately 10.54µm, which is larger than the 10.54µm aperture required for 3D display. Therefore, 11 pixels are set within a pixel island.

[0094] Thirdly, embodiments of this application also provide a display device, which includes the aforementioned display panel. The display device may be a mobile phone, laptop computer, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), netbook, personal digital assistant (PDA), wearable device, virtual reality device, or other mobile computing device with a display panel; embodiments of this application do not limit this to any particular device.

[0095] The display device provided in this application embodiment, because the array unit contains an even number of pixels, allows every two pixels in the array unit to share a single data connection line, avoiding the situation where a single data connection line only provides data signals to one pixel in one array unit. This results in better symmetry in the arrangement of the data connection lines and reduces wiring difficulty. Furthermore, each data connection line is connected to two pixels, making the RC-loading between each data connection line and the pixels equal or closer, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel.

[0096] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
