Abstract

This application provides a pixel arrangement structure and a display panel. The pixel arrangement structure includes multiple repeating units arranged in an array. Each repeating unit includes at least one pixel group. Each pixel group includes multiple pixel portions arranged around a virtual center. Each pixel portion includes sub-pixels of different colors arranged sequentially in the direction away from the virtual center. In the pixel group, at least some of the sub-pixels in different pixel portions have different arrangements in the direction away from the virtual center. In the embodiments of this application, since the pixel portions within the pixel group are all arranged around the virtual center, and at least some of the sub-pixels in different pixel portions have different arrangements in the direction away from the virtual center, multiple colors of sub-pixels can exist in the same row or column. This improves the uniformity of the arrangement of multiple colors of sub-pixels in the row and column directions, thereby reducing the impact of color fringing problems and improving the display effect.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of display device technology, and in particular to a pixel arrangement structure and display panel. Background Technology

[0002] Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are self-emissive display devices. Compared to traditional liquid crystal displays (LCDs), OLED technology does not require a backlight and is self-emissive. OLEDs use a thin layer of organic material and a glass substrate; when current flows through, the organic material emits light. Therefore, OLED display panels can significantly save energy, be made lighter and thinner, withstand a wider range of temperature variations than LCD panels, and have a wider viewing angle. OLED display panels are expected to become the next-generation flat panel display technology after LCDs and are currently one of the most watched technologies in the flat panel display field. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a pixel arrangement structure and display panel that can reduce color fringing issues.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a pixel arrangement structure, including a plurality of repeating units arranged in an array. Each repeating unit includes at least one pixel group, and each pixel group includes a plurality of pixel portions arranged around a virtual center. Each pixel portion includes sub-pixels of different colors arranged sequentially in a direction away from the virtual center. Specifically, in the pixel group, at least some of the sub-pixels in different pixel portions have different arrangement orders in the direction away from the virtual center.

[0005] In some embodiments, the repeating unit includes a plurality of pixel groups arranged side by side in a first direction. In the repeating unit, the arrangement order of sub-pixels in corresponding pixel portions is different in at least some different pixel groups arranged side by side in the first direction.

[0006] In some embodiments, the projection of the first sub-pixel closest to the virtual center in the first direction is located exactly in the middle of the projections of the two second sub-pixels in the first direction.

[0007] In some embodiments, in the repeating unit, the arrangement order of sub-pixels in corresponding pixel portions of two adjacent pixel groups in the first direction is different.

[0008] In some embodiments, in the repeating unit, multiple pixel groups are arranged side by side in a second direction, and the first direction intersects the second direction; in the repeating unit, the arrangement order of sub-pixels in corresponding pixel portions of at least some different pixel groups arranged side by side in the second direction is different.

[0009] In some embodiments, in the repeating unit, the arrangement order of sub-pixels in corresponding pixel portions of two adjacent pixel groups in the second direction is different.

[0010] In some embodiments, within a pixel group, there are two pixel portions, which are symmetrically arranged with respect to a virtual center.

[0011] In some embodiments, within a pixel group, two pixel portions are spaced apart in a second direction, and the first direction intersects the second direction.

[0012] In some embodiments, within a pixel group, the number of pixel portions is at least three, and the multiple pixel portions have the same shape and size and are distributed at different positions around the virtual center.

[0013] In some embodiments, within two adjacent pixel groups, at least one pixel portion of one pixel group has the same sub-pixel arrangement order as a pixel portion of the other pixel group.

[0014] In some embodiments, the repeating unit includes a third pixel group and a fourth pixel group that are different from each other. Each pixel group includes a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel that are different in color. In the repeating unit, the positions of all the first sub-pixels in the third pixel group correspond to the positions of all the second sub-pixels in the fourth pixel group.

[0015] In some embodiments, the repeating unit further includes a fifth pixel group that is different from the third pixel group and the fourth pixel group, and the pixel portion further includes a third sub-pixel that is different in color from the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel;

[0016] In the repeating unit, the positions of all the first sub-pixels in the third pixel group correspond to the positions of all the third sub-pixels in the fifth pixel group.

[0017] In some embodiments, within a repeating unit, there are two pixel groups, and within each pixel group, there are at least four pixel portions, and the arrangement order of subpixels in at least some adjacent pixel portions is different.

[0018] In some embodiments, the number of pixel groups is four, and the arrangement order of sub-pixels in any adjacent pixel groups is different.

[0019] In some embodiments, the pixel portion includes a first edge remote from the corresponding virtual center, and the first edge includes an arc segment.

[0020] In some embodiments, the pixel portion includes a second edge facing the corresponding virtual center, and the second edge includes an arc segment.

[0021] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a display panel including the pixel arrangement structure of any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0022] In some embodiments, the display panel includes a light-transmitting area, and each pixel includes a second edge facing a corresponding virtual center. Within a pixel group, the corresponding second edges of multiple pixel portions together enclose a non-opening area, which is located within the light-transmitting area.

[0023] This application provides a pixel arrangement structure and a display panel. Since the pixel units are all arranged around the virtual center in the pixel group, and the sub-pixels in at least some different pixel units have different arrangement orders in the direction away from the virtual center, multiple colors of sub-pixels can exist in the same row or column, improving the uniformity of the arrangement of multiple colors of sub-pixels in the row and column directions, thereby reducing the impact of color edge problems and improving the display effect.

[0044] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this application will be described in detail below. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain this application and not to limit it. For those skilled in the art, this application can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of this application by illustrating examples.

[0045] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0046] With the advancement of technology, people have increasingly higher requirements for display panels, demanding not only higher resolution but also better display effects. Pixel arrangement itself plays a decisive role in the display quality of a display panel. Currently, the most common pixel arrangement in display panels is a matrix-style regular arrangement, where sub-pixels in the same row or column are usually of the same color. This arrangement is prone to the problem of single-color fringing during display, leading to a decline in display quality.

[0047] To resolve the above issues, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a pixel arrangement structure, including a plurality of repeating units 1000 arranged in an array. Each repeating unit 1000 includes at least one pixel group 100. Each pixel group 100 includes a plurality of pixel portions 10 arranged around a virtual center D. Each pixel portion 10 includes sub-pixels 11 of different colors arranged sequentially in a direction away from the virtual center D. In the pixel group 100, at least some of the sub-pixels 11 in different pixel portions 10 have different arrangement orders away from the virtual center D.

[0048] Multiple repeating units 1000 are translated and repeated to form a pixel arrangement structure. Each repeating unit 1000 includes pixel groups 100. A single repeating unit 1000 may include only one pixel group 100 or multiple pixel groups 100 simultaneously; this embodiment does not impose such limitations. When a repeating unit 1000 includes multiple pixel groups 100, the structures of each pixel group 100 may all be different, or some pixel groups 100 may have the same structure. In this embodiment, "some pixel groups 100 having the same structure" means that the shape, size, and color of the sub-pixels 11 at any corresponding position within two pixel groups 100 are the same. Figures 1 to 3 In the diagram, sub-pixels 11 with the same profile line structure represent sub-pixels 11 with the same color, and similarly, sub-pixels 11 with different profile line structures represent sub-pixels 11 with different colors.

[0049] Pixel group 100 includes a plurality of pixel units 10, which are arranged around a virtual center D. The "virtual center D" mentioned in this embodiment refers to the geometric center of pixel group 100, that is, the center of pixel group 100 coincides with the virtual center D. The plurality of pixel units 10 may be spaced apart from each other and arranged around the virtual center D, or they may be adjacent to each other and arranged around the virtual center D; this embodiment does not limit this arrangement. Furthermore, this embodiment does not limit the number of pixel units 10 within pixel group 100. For example, pixel group 100 may include two, three, four, or even more pixel units 10.

[0050] The pixel unit 10 includes sub-pixels 11 of different colors arranged sequentially in a direction away from the virtual center D. The types of sub-pixels 11 include, but are not limited to, red sub-pixels for emitting red light, blue sub-pixels for emitting blue light, and green sub-pixels for emitting green light. The pixel unit 10 includes a plurality of sub-pixels 11, and the number of sub-pixels 11 in a single pixel unit 10 can be two, three, four, or even more.

[0051] Within the pixel group 100, at least some of the sub-pixels 11 in different pixel sections 10 have different arrangement orders in the direction away from the virtual center D. The "arrangement order" mentioned in this application embodiment refers to the arrangement order of the sub-pixels 11 corresponding to the colors in the pixel section 10 in the direction away from the virtual center D.

[0052] For example, taking a pixel section 10 that includes three sub-pixels 11 as an example, when the color order of the sub-pixels 11 in the direction away from the quasi-center point of a pixel section 10 is red, green, and blue, the color order of the sub-pixels 11 in the direction away from the quasi-center point of other pixel sections 10 located in the same pixel group 100 but with different arrangement orders can be blue-green-red, red-blue-green, or green-red-blue, etc. It should be noted that within the pixel group 100, the arrangement order of the sub-pixels 11 in each pixel section 10 can be different, or there can be pixel sections 10 with the same arrangement order of the sub-pixels 11. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0053] Combination Figures 1 to 3 In this application, the pixel arrangement structure provided in the embodiments enables the simultaneous presence of multiple sub-pixels 11 of different colors in the direction parallel to the line connecting any two virtual centers D. These sub-pixels 11 can be of different colors located within the same pixel portion 10 or in different pixel portions 10. This design allows for the simultaneous presence of multiple sub-pixels 11 of different colors in the same row or column. Compared to related technologies where only a single-color sub-pixel 11 is contained in the same row or column, the embodiments in this application can reduce the color edge problem caused by a single-color sub-pixel 11 in the same row or column.

[0054] In summary, in this embodiment, since all pixel units 10 within pixel group 100 are arranged around virtual center D, and the sub-pixels 11 in at least some different pixel units 10 have different arrangement orders in the direction away from virtual center D, multiple colors of sub-pixels 11 can exist in the same row or column, improving the uniformity of the arrangement of multiple colors of sub-pixels 11 in the row and column directions, thereby reducing the impact of color edge problem and improving the display effect.

[0055] It should be noted that the shape and size of the pixel portion 10 and the pixel group 100 composed of multiple pixel portions 10 are not limited in the embodiments of this application. For example, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the outer contour of pixel group 100 can be a square structure.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the repeating unit 1000 includes a plurality of pixel groups 100 arranged side by side in the first direction X. In the repeating unit 1000, the arrangement order of sub-pixels 11 in the corresponding pixel portion 10 of at least some different pixel groups 100 arranged side by side in the first direction X is different.

[0057] The "arrangement order of sub-pixels 11 within the pixel section 10" mentioned in the embodiments of this application refers to the arrangement order of the colors of the sub-pixels 11 within the pixel section 10 in the direction away from the corresponding virtual center D. This will not be elaborated further in this application.

[0058] The repeating unit 1000 includes multiple pixel groups 100, all of which have the same shape and size. In a single repeating unit 1000, at least some pixel groups 100 have sub-pixels 11 at corresponding positions with different colors. It should be noted that within a single repeating unit 1000, some pixel groups 100 may have the same structure, meaning that the shape, size, and color of sub-pixels 11 at any corresponding position within two pixel groups 100 may be the same; alternatively, the structures of each pixel group 100 may be different. This embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.

[0059] Multiple pixel groups 100 are arranged side-by-side in a first direction X, which is parallel to the line connecting the virtual centers D of some adjacent pixel groups 100. Among the multiple pixel groups 100 arranged side-by-side in the first direction X, at least some pixel groups 100 have different arrangements of sub-pixels 11 within corresponding pixel portions 10. Specifically, the arrangement of sub-pixels 11 within corresponding pixel portions 10 of any two adjacent pixel groups 100 in the first direction X can be the same or different.

[0060] In this embodiment, since at least some of the pixel groups 100 arranged side-by-side in the first direction X have different arrangements of sub-pixels 11 within corresponding pixel portions 10, the arrangement of multiple sub-pixels 11 located on the same straight line in the first direction X is more flexible, thereby reducing the risk of color fringing and improving the display effect. Further optionally, in the repeating unit 1000, the arrangement of sub-pixels 11 within corresponding pixel portions 10 in any two adjacent pixel groups 100 in the first direction X is different.

[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the repeating unit 1000, multiple pixel groups 100 are arranged side by side in the second direction Y, and the first direction X intersects the second direction Y. In the repeating unit 1000, the arrangement order of sub-pixels 11 within corresponding pixel portions 10 is different in at least some of the different pixel groups 100 arranged side by side in the second direction Y.

[0062] The first direction X and the second direction Y can be the row direction and column direction of the pixel arrangement structure, respectively. Optionally, the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y. In the repeating unit 1000, multiple pixel groups 100 can be arranged side by side in both the first direction X and the second direction Y. For example, the repeating unit 1000 may include 4 pixel groups 100, which are arranged in a 2*2 pattern in both the first direction X and the second direction Y; or the repeating unit 1000 may include 9 pixel groups 100, which are arranged in a 3*3 pattern in both the first direction X and the second direction Y.

[0063] In a plurality of pixel groups 100 arranged side by side in the second direction Y, at least some pixel groups 100 have different arrangements of sub-pixels 11 within corresponding pixel portions 10. Specifically, the arrangement of sub-pixels 11 within corresponding pixel portions 10 in any two adjacent pixel groups 100 in the second direction Y can be the same or different.

[0064] In this embodiment, since at least some of the pixel groups 100 arranged side-by-side in the second direction Y have different arrangements of sub-pixels 11 within corresponding pixel portions 10, the arrangement of multiple sub-pixels 11 located on the same straight line in the second direction Y is more flexible. This reduces the risk of color fringing in both the first direction X and the second direction Y, improving the display effect. Further optionally, in the repeating unit 1000, the arrangement of sub-pixels 11 within corresponding pixel portions 10 in any two adjacent pixel groups 100 in the second direction Y is different.

[0065] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6Within pixel group 100, there are two pixel units 10, and the two pixel units 10 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the virtual center D.

[0066] The phrase "two pixel portions 10 are rotated symmetrically with respect to the virtual center D" mentioned in this application embodiment refers to the fact that the outline shape of one of the two pixel portions 10 is obtained by rotating the other around the virtual center point D by a specific angle, where the specific angle includes, but is not limited to, 90°, 120°, and 180°. This application embodiment does not limit the outline shape of the pixel portions 10. For example, the shape of the pixel portion 10 can be a semi-circular structure, and the sub-pixel 11 located within the pixel portion 10 and closest to the virtual center D is a semi-circular structure, while other sub-pixels 11 are arranged in an arc shape around the outer periphery of the sub-pixel 11.

[0067] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment, the arrangement order of the two pixel portions 10 within the pixel group 100 is not the same. For example, the arrangement order of the sub-pixels 11 in one pixel portion 10 is red, green, and blue in the direction away from the virtual center D, while the arrangement order of the sub-pixels 11 in the other pixel portion 10 is green, blue, and red in the direction away from the virtual center D.

[0068] In this embodiment, multiple sub-pixels 11 of different colors can coexist in the arrangement direction of the two pixel portions 10 within the pixel group 100, thereby reducing the risk of color fringing. Simultaneously, the symmetrical arrangement of the two pixel portions 10 improves display uniformity and enhances the display effect.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, within pixel group 100, two pixel portions 10 are spaced apart in the second direction Y.

[0070] As described above, in the repeating unit, the sub-pixels 11 within corresponding pixel portions 10 of at least some different pixel groups 100 arranged side-by-side in the first direction X have different arrangement orders. This design can reduce the risk of color fringing problems occurring in the first direction X.

[0071] Based on this, the embodiments of this application arrange the two pixel portions 10 at intervals in the second direction Y. Since the arrangement order of the sub-pixels 11 in the two pixel portions 10 is different, the risk of color edge problems occurring in the second direction Y can be reduced. In summary, the embodiments of this application can simultaneously reduce the risk of color edge problems in both the first direction X and the second direction Y of the pixel arrangement structure, further improving the display effect.

[0072] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 8 to 9Within pixel group 100, the number of pixel parts 10 is at least three, and multiple pixel parts 10 are evenly distributed at different positions around the virtual center D.

[0073] The number of pixel portions 10 within pixel group 100 can be three or more, and the outline shape of each pixel portion 10 is identical. Taking a pixel group 100 with three pixel portions 10 as an example, the phrase "pixel portions 10 are evenly distributed at different positions around the virtual center D" mentioned in this embodiment means that the length of the line connecting any two pixel portions 10 centers to the virtual center D is the same, and the angle formed by the line connecting any two pixel portions 10 centers to the virtual center D is 120°. Similarly, when the number of pixel portions 10 within pixel group 100 is four, the angle formed by the line connecting any two adjacent pixel portions 10 centers to the virtual center D is 90°.

[0074] In this embodiment, since multiple pixel units 10 are evenly distributed at different positions around the virtual center D, the center of the light emitted by all sub-pixels 11 within the pixel group 100 will converge near the virtual center D, thereby ensuring reliable light emission and improving display uniformity.

[0075] In some embodiments, within two adjacent pixel groups 100, at least one pixel portion 10 of one pixel group 100 has the same arrangement order as the sub-pixels 11 in the other pixel group 100.

[0076] In two adjacent pixel groups 100, there are pixel portions 10 with the same arrangement order of sub-pixels 11. This design simplifies the arrangement of sub-pixels 11 within the pixel group 100, giving it a certain regularity. Combined with... Figure 8 In this case, the repeating unit 1000 includes adjacent first pixel groups 100a and second pixel groups 100b. The arrangement order of sub-pixels 11 within the pixel portion 10 of the first pixel group 100a is different from the arrangement order of sub-pixels 11 within the corresponding pixel portion 10 of the second pixel group 100b, but the same as the arrangement order of sub-pixels 11 within adjacent pixel portions 10 of the second pixel group 100b. In other words, the second pixel group 100b can be obtained by rotating the first pixel group 100a counterclockwise by 120°. This simplifies the layout of sub-pixels 11 within both the first pixel group 100a and the second pixel group 100b while reducing color fringing issues.

[0077] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8As shown, the repeating unit 1000 includes a third pixel group 100c and a fourth pixel group 100d that are different from each other. Each pixel part 10 includes a first sub-pixel 11a and a second sub-pixel 11b with different colors. In the repeating unit 1000, the positions of all the first sub-pixels 11a in the third pixel group 100c are the same as the positions of all the second sub-pixels 11b in the fourth pixel group 100d.

[0078] The repeating unit 1000 includes a third pixel group 100c and a fourth pixel group 100d. The third pixel group 100c and the fourth pixel group 100d can be arranged alternately or adjacently. Both the third pixel group 100c and the fourth pixel group 100d include a first sub-pixel 11a and a second sub-pixel 11b. The first sub-pixel 11a and the second sub-pixel 11b are of different colors. Since the positions of all the first sub-pixels 11a in the third pixel group 100c correspond to the positions of all the second sub-pixels 11b in the fourth pixel group 100d, the arrangement order of the sub-pixels 11 in the two pixel groups 100 is not the same. This allows multiple sub-pixels 11 of different colors to exist simultaneously along the line connecting the virtual centers D in the two pixel groups 100, reducing the risk of color edge problems.

[0079] Meanwhile, within these two pixel groups 100, since the relative positions of all the first sub-pixels 11a in the third pixel group 100c are consistent with the relative positions of all the second sub-pixels 11b in the fourth pixel group 100d, the first sub-pixels 11a and the second sub-pixels 11b within these two pixel groups 100 can share the same mask opening, thereby reducing the number of mask plates and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the repeating unit 1000 also includes a fifth pixel group 100e that is different from the third pixel group 100c and the fourth pixel group 100d. The pixel portion 10 also includes a third sub-pixel 11c that is different in color from the first sub-pixel 11a and the second sub-pixel 11b. In the repeating unit 1000, the positions of all the first sub-pixels 11a in the third pixel group 100c correspond to the positions of all the third sub-pixels 11c in the fifth pixel group 100e.

[0081] Similar to the aforementioned embodiments, within these two pixel groups 100, since the relative positions of all the first sub-pixels 11a in the third pixel group 100c are consistent with the relative positions of all the third sub-pixels 11c in the fifth pixel group 100e, the first sub-pixels 11a and the third sub-pixels 11c within these two pixel groups 100 can share the same mask opening, thereby reducing the number of mask plates and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0082] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 Within the repeating unit 1000, there is one pixel group 100, and within the pixel group 100, there are at least four pixel portions 10, and the arrangement order of sub-pixels 11 in at least some adjacent pixel portions 10 is different.

[0083] Within the pixel group 100, the number of pixel portions 10 is at least four. In this embodiment, the number of pixel portions 10 is four. The four pixel portions 10 are arranged around the periphery of the virtual center D. At least some of the adjacent pixel portions 10 can be arranged side by side in the first direction X, and at least some of the adjacent pixel portions 10 can be arranged side by side in the second direction Y.

[0084] Based on this, the embodiments of this application arrange the sub-pixels 11 in at least some adjacent pixel portions 10 in different orders, thereby making the color arrangement order of multiple sub-pixels 11 located on the same straight line in the first direction X or the second direction Y more flexible, thereby reducing the risk of color fringing and improving the display effect.

[0085] In some alternative embodiments, the sub-pixels 11 in any adjacent pixel group 100 are arranged in different orders. In other words, the sub-pixels 11 in two pixel groups 10 arranged side by side in the first direction X are arranged in different orders, and the sub-pixels 11 in two pixel groups 10 arranged side by side in the second direction Y are arranged in different orders.

[0086] This design allows for more flexible color arrangement of multiple sub-pixels 11 located on the same straight line in both the first direction X and the second direction Y, thereby reducing the risk of color fringing and improving the display effect.

[0087] It should be noted that within pixel group 100, the sub-pixels 11 in two pixel portions 10 arranged circumferentially and spaced apart around the virtual center D can be arranged in the same or different order, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions. Optionally, the sub-pixels 11 in two pixel portions 10 arranged circumferentially and spaced apart around the virtual center D can be arranged in the same order, which can further reduce the number of types of pixel portions 10 within pixel group 100 and simplify the difficulty of pixel arrangement.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the pixel portion 10 includes a first edge E1 that is far from the corresponding virtual center D, and the first edge E1 includes an arc segment.

[0089] In related technologies, the common pixel arrangement is a matrix-style regular arrangement, which usually has low transmittance. At the same time, this arrangement will also form regular straight slits between the metal electrodes corresponding to the pixel structure. When external light passes through, severe diffraction will occur. The diffraction phenomenon increases the display haze, resulting in a decrease in display effect.

[0090] In this embodiment, by providing an arc segment for the first edge E1, diffraction problems can be reduced, thereby further improving the display effect. Specifically, the first edge E1 is located on the sub-pixel 11 at the position furthest from the virtual center D within the pixel portion 10, and the first edge E1 is the edge of the sub-pixel 11 that is away from other sub-pixels 11 in the pixel portion 10. The shape of the first edge E1 determines the outer contour of the pixel portion 10.

[0091] In this embodiment, by providing an arc-shaped segment on the first edge E1, the outer periphery of the pixel portion 10 has a certain curvature, thereby ensuring that the space formed by the two first edges E1 of two adjacent pixel portions 10 also has a certain curvature. Compared to the matrix pixel arrangement structure in related technologies, this embodiment does not form a straight slit between adjacent pixel portions 10, thus mitigating diffraction problems and improving display effects.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the pixel portion 10 includes a second edge E2 facing the virtual center D, and the second edge E2 includes an arc segment.

[0093] The second edge E2 is located on the sub-pixel 11 within the pixel portion 10 that is closest to the virtual center D, and the second edge E2 is the edge of this sub-pixel 11 that is away from the other sub-pixels 11 in the pixel portion 10. Similar to the first edge E1, the shape of the second edge E2 also determines the outer contour of the pixel portion 10. Therefore, by providing an arc segment for the second edge E2 in this embodiment, the diffraction problem can also be alleviated and the display effect improved.

[0094] Secondly, please refer to Figure 12 This application provides a display panel, and the display device includes the pixel arrangement structure in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0095] It should be noted that the display panel provided in this application embodiment has the beneficial effects of the pixel arrangement structure in any of the foregoing embodiments. For details, please refer to the foregoing description of the pixel arrangement structure. This application embodiment will not repeat the description.

[0096] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 13The pixel portion 10 includes a second edge E2 facing the corresponding virtual center D. Within the pixel group, the corresponding second edges E2 of multiple pixel portions 10 together enclose a non-opening area A. The display panel is provided with a light-transmitting area, and the non-opening area A is located within the light-transmitting area, thereby realizing the transparent display of the display panel.

[0097] In the embodiments of this application, the non-opening area A refers to the area in the display panel corresponding to a single pixel group where there is no pixel opening between multiple pixel parts 10, i.e. there are no other additional sub-pixels 11. Therefore, the transmittance of the display panel at the position corresponding to the non-opening area A can be improved to meet the requirements of transparent display.

[0098] Conventional transparent display panels typically reduce the size or number of pixel openings to increase the distance between adjacent pixels, thereby increasing the area of ​​the transparent region to meet the requirements of transparent display. However, this embodiment arranges multiple pixel units 10 around a first virtual point, allowing multiple second edges E2 to collectively enclose a non-opening area A, thus concentrating the transparent area of ​​the display panel. Compared to conventional transparent display panels, this embodiment achieves a transparent effect by simply adjusting the pixel arrangement structure, forming a non-opening area A within multiple pixel groups. This satisfies the transparent display requirement without changing the pixel opening size or pixel density, achieving effective space utilization.

Any person skilled in the art to which this application pertains may make any modifications and changes in form and detail of the implementation without departing from the spirit and scope disclosed in this application; however, the scope of protection of this application shall still be determined by the scope defined in the appended claims.

[0100] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application. Those skilled in the art will clearly understand that, for the sake of convenience and brevity, substitutions for other connection methods described above can be made by referring to the corresponding processes in the foregoing method embodiments, and will not be repeated here. It should be understood that the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
