[0008] Along the first direction and / or the second direction, the distance between the center points of two first pixel units that are at least partially adjacent to each other is R1, and along the first direction and / or the second direction, the distance between the center points of two second pixel units that are adjacent to each other is R2, R1<R2;

[0037] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention unless otherwise specifically stated.

[0038] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention, its application, or uses.

[0039] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered as part of the specification.

[0040] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0041] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar 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] In the prior art, there are more and more special-shaped display products, and the number of low-PPI (Pixels Per Inch, pixel density unit) products on the market that adopt special-shaped designs is also gradually increasing, such as various car-mounted displays, outdoor displays, and the shapes vary greatly; because the pixel unit size of low-PPI products is large, even if some transitions are taken for the special-shaped edges, such as setting the special-shaped edge luminous or light-transmitting area to be smaller, the low-PPI display products still have obvious edge jagged phenomenon during use, and the transition is not smooth enough. Therefore, it is urgent to provide a panel that can improve the edge jagged display problem of low-PPI special-shaped display products.

[0043] In view of this, the present invention provides a special-shaped display panel and a display device to improve the problem of jagged display on the edges of special-shaped display products.

[0044] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a special-shaped display panel provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 The prior art Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the A area in the middle. Figure 3 The embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 1 A schematic diagram of area A, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 , the present application provides a special-shaped display panel 100, comprising a special-shaped edge 11;

[0045] The special-shaped display panel 100 includes a special-shaped display area 12 and a conventional display area 13, wherein the special-shaped display area 12 at least partially surrounds the conventional display area 13; the special-shaped display area 12 includes a special-shaped edge 11;

[0046] The special-shaped display panel 100 includes a plurality of pixel units 14, the pixel units 14 include a first pixel unit 141 and a second pixel unit 142, the first pixel unit 141 is located in the special-shaped display area 12, and the second pixel unit 142 is located in the regular display area 13;

[0047] The orthographic projection area of ​​the first pixel unit 141 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100 is S1, and the orthographic projection area of ​​the second pixel unit 142 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100 is S2, S1≤S2;

[0048] Along the first direction and / or the second direction, the distance between the center points of two first pixel units 141 at least partially adjacent to each other is R1, and along the first direction and / or the second direction, the distance between the center points of two second pixel units 142 adjacent to each other is R2, R1<R2;

[0049] The first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0050] Specifically, the present application provides a display panel having a shaped edge 11 to form a shaped display panel 100. In the display area (12 and 13) of the shaped display panel 100, the portion adjacent to the shaped edge 11 is the shaped display area 12, and the portion of the shaped display area 12 away from the shaped edge 11 is the conventional display area 13, that is, the shaped display area 12 is at least partially arranged around the conventional display area 13.

[0051] The special-shaped display panel 100 provided in the present application is provided with a plurality of pixel units 14. Since the special-shaped display panel 100 includes a special-shaped display area 12 and a conventional display area 13, the present application classifies the pixel units 14 arranged in the special-shaped display area 12 as first pixel units 141, and classifies the pixel units 14 arranged in the conventional display area 13 as second pixel units 142. Figure 3 The first pixel unit 141 "No. 1" shown in the first row and the second column, or the first pixel units 141 "No. 2" and "No. 3" shown in the first column, the second row and the third row, can be set to have an area smaller than the area of ​​the second pixel unit 142, or, as Figure 3The first pixel unit 141 "No. 4" shown in the second row and the second column can be set to have an area equal to the area of ​​the second pixel unit 142; wherein the area of ​​the first pixel unit 141 is specifically the orthographic projection area S1 of the first pixel unit 141 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100, and the area of ​​the second pixel unit 142 is specifically the orthographic projection area S2 of the second pixel unit 142 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100; and the area of ​​the pixel unit 14 (the first pixel unit 141 and the second pixel unit 142) includes not only the area of ​​its light-transmitting region, but also the area occupied by the driving circuit of each pixel unit 14. On this basis, the present application can also choose to further define that along the first direction, there is at least a spacing R1 between the center points of two adjacent first pixel units 141, such as Figure 3 The spacing R1 between the center points of two adjacent first pixel units 141, "No. 1" and "No. 5", shown in the first row, the first column, and the second column, is smaller than the spacing R2 between the center points of two adjacent second pixel units 142; and / or, along the second direction, at least the spacing R1 between the center points of two adjacent first pixel units 141 is smaller than the spacing R2 between the center points of two adjacent second pixel units 142, for example Figure 3 The distance R1 between the center points of the first pixel units 141 adjacent to each other along the second direction is smaller than R2; Figure 3 The unfilled pixel units 14 shown in the figure are all second pixel units 142. With such a configuration, the pixel units 14 with a size smaller than that in the conventional display area 13 exist in the irregular display area 12, so that the PPI (Pixels Per Inch, pixel density unit) of the pixel units 14 in the irregular display area 12 can be improved to a certain extent compared with the conventional display area 13, that is, by increasing the number of pixel units 14 per unit area, the pixel units 14 close to the irregular edge 11 include pixel units 14 with a smaller size, so that the transition of the irregular edge 11 is smoother, and the user's eyes can avoid being able to easily identify the edge jagged phenomenon, thereby improving the display effect of the irregular display panel 100.

[0052] It should be noted that, if this application Figure 3 The first pixel units 141 shown as "No. 1", "No. 2", and "No. 3" have an area S1 that is much smaller than the area S2 of the second pixel unit 142. Figure 2In the technical solution provided, the area of ​​each pixel unit in the special-shaped display area is set to be the same as the area of ​​each pixel unit in the conventional display area, that is, if the PPI of the pixel units in the special-shaped display area and the conventional display area are the same, then the special-shaped display area is generally not provided with such a pixel unit. Figure 3 The first pixel units 141 with relatively small areas, namely, "No. 1", "No. 2" and "No. 3" are shown; therefore, the technical solution provided by the present application, compared with the prior art, can, to a certain extent, increase the number of first pixel units 141 with the same area in the special-shaped display area 12, thereby increasing the PPI of the pixel units 14 in the special-shaped display area 12, thereby making the transition of the special-shaped edge 11 smoother and improving the display effect of the special-shaped display panel 100.

[0053] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the specific shape of the special-shaped display panel 100. For example, the special-shaped display panel can be specifically presented as including an arc corner (such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown), corners, etc., users can select the specific shape of the special-shaped display panel 100 according to actual needs.

[0054] Figure 4 The embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 1 Another schematic diagram of area A, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Optionally, the special-shaped display area 12 includes a first area 121;

[0055] In the first region 121 , S1<S2 and R1<R2.

[0056] Specifically, the present application provides an optional setting method, in which the special-shaped display area 12 includes a first area 121, and the first area 121 can be a side area of ​​the special-shaped display area 12 that is relatively far from the conventional display area 13, that is, the first area 121 can be an area of ​​the special-shaped display area 12 that is not connected to the conventional display area 13 as much as possible; the area S1 of the first pixel unit 141 in the first area 121 can be set to be smaller than the area S2 of the second pixel unit 142, and on this basis, it is also set that along the first direction, there is at least a spacing R1 between the center points of two adjacent first pixel units 141 that is smaller than the spacing R2 between the center points of two adjacent second pixel units 142; and / or, along the second direction, there is at least a spacing R1 between the center points of two adjacent first pixel units 141 that is smaller than the spacing R2 between the center points of two adjacent second pixel units 142. Such a setting can make the number of pixel units 14 in the same area in the first area 121 close to the special-shaped edge 11 in the special-shaped display area 12 be smaller than that in the first area 121. Figure 2The number of pixel units in the same area is greater, that is, the PPI of the pixel unit 14 in the first area 121 is higher than the PPI of the pixel unit 14 in the conventional display area 13, that is, by increasing the number of pixel units 14 per unit area in the first area 121, the transition of the irregular edge 11 is smoother, thereby avoiding the user's eye from easily identifying the abnormally obvious edge jagged phenomenon, thereby improving the display effect of the irregular display panel 100.

[0057] Figure 5 The embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 4 A schematic diagram of area B in the middle, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 Optionally, in the first area 121, along the first direction and / or the second direction, the orthographic projection areas of at least two adjacent first pixel units 141 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100 are the same;

[0058] Moreover, along the first direction and / or the second direction, the light-transmitting area 16 of the first pixel unit 141 close to the irregular edge 11 is smaller than the light-transmitting area 16 of the first pixel unit 141 far from the irregular edge 11 .

[0059] Specifically, the present application also provides an optional setting method, that is, in the first area 121 of the special-shaped display area 12, the areas of two adjacent first pixel units 141 along the first direction are the same, and / or the areas of two adjacent first pixel units 141 along the second direction are the same; at the same time, it can be further set that, along the first direction, the light-transmitting area 16 of the first pixel unit 141 of the special-shaped display area 12 close to the special-shaped edge 11 is smaller than the light-transmitting area 16 of the first pixel unit 141 close to the conventional display area 13, and / or, along the second direction, the light-transmitting area 16 of the first pixel unit 141 of the special-shaped display area 12 close to the special-shaped edge 11 is smaller than the light-transmitting area 16 of the first pixel unit 141 close to the conventional display area 13. In this way, the area of ​​the peripheral first pixel unit 141 on the side of the special-shaped display area 12 close to the special-shaped edge 11 can be set to be an equal-fraction setting, and all the first pixel units 141 located in the first area 121 are made into an equal-fraction structure with the same shape and size, so that the division of the pixel units 14 in the area is simpler, and it is also more convenient to carry out regular and modular production during the production process of this part of the pixel units 14. The wiring related to all of the pixel units 14 is also relatively simple, avoiding the situation where there are too many cross-wires and windings. At the same time, the light-transmitting area 16 of the peripheral first pixel unit 141 on the side of the special-shaped display area 12 close to the special-shaped edge 11 is set to be smaller than that of other areas, so that the display brightness of the first pixel unit 141 in the area close to the special-shaped edge 11 in the special-shaped display area 12 is smaller, which can reduce the user's human eye's recognition of the edge jagged phenomenon of the special-shaped display panel 100, so that the display of the special-shaped edge 11 of the special-shaped display panel 100 is smoother, thereby improving the display effect of the special-shaped display panel 100 and improving the user experience.

[0060] Figure 6 The embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 1 Another schematic diagram of area A, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 Optionally, in the first region 121 , along the first direction and / or the second direction, the orthographic projection areas of at least two adjacent first pixel units 141 on the light emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100 are different.

[0061] Specifically, the present application also provides an optional configuration method, in which, in the first area 121 of the special-shaped display area 12, the areas of two adjacent first pixel units 141 are different along the first direction (such as Figure 6 1 and 2 first pixel units 141), and / or, the area of ​​the two adjacent first pixel units 141 in the region along the second direction may be different (eg Figure 6 3 and 4 first pixel units 141). That is, Figure 4 As shown, the peripheral first pixel units 141 near the side of the irregular edge 11 in the irregular display area 12 can be set to have the same orthographic projection area, such as Figure 6 As shown, it is also possible to choose to set the orthographic projections of some first pixel units 141 to be different. In addition, of course, it is also possible to choose to set the orthographic projections of all first pixel units 141 to be different. The present application does not have any specific limitation on this. The user can adjust the orthographic projection area of ​​the first pixel unit 141 on the side of the irregular edge 11 in the irregular display area 12 on the light-emitting surface of the irregular display panel 100 according to actual needs, as long as it can adapt to the corresponding irregular edge 11 to achieve the jagged effect of the irregular edge 11.

[0062] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 Optionally, in the first area 121, the first pixel unit 141 includes a first A pixel unit 143 and a first B pixel unit 144, the orthographic projection area of ​​the first A pixel unit 143 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100 is S11, the orthographic projection area of ​​the first B pixel unit 144 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100 is S12, and S11<S12;

[0063] Along the first direction, the first B pixel unit 144 is located on the side of the first A pixel unit 143 facing the normal display area 13;

[0064] And / or, along the second direction, the first B pixel unit 144 is located on a side of the first A pixel unit 143 facing the regular display area 13 .

[0065] Specifically, the present application provides an optional setting method, in which a first area 121 near the irregular edge 11 in the irregular display area 12 includes multiple first pixel units 141. In order to clearly illustrate the embodiment provided by the present application, the first pixel unit 141 in the first area 121 can be specifically divided into a first A pixel unit 143 and a first B pixel unit 144 according to the different orthographic projection areas of the first pixel unit 141 on the light-emitting surface of the irregular display panel 100, wherein the orthographic projection area S11 of the first A pixel unit 143 is smaller than the orthographic projection area S12 of the first B pixel unit 144. At this time, it can be selected to set the first B pixel unit 144 along the first direction, and be located on the side of the first A pixel unit 143 facing the conventional display area 13, for example Figure 6 The first pixel unit "No. 2" 141 is located on the side of the first pixel unit "No. 1" 141 facing the regular display area 13, and / or, along the second direction, the first pixel unit "B" 144 is located on the side of the first pixel unit "A" 143 facing the regular display area 13, for example Figure 6 The first pixel unit "No. 4" 141 is located on the side of the first pixel unit "No. 3" 141 facing the regular display area 13; in other words, in the first area 121, the first pixel unit "B" 144 with a larger orthographic projection area is arranged, and the first pixel unit "A" 143 with a smaller orthographic projection area is closer to the regular display area 13, that is, the first pixel unit "A" 143 with a relatively small orthographic projection area can be arranged close to the irregular edge 11, and the first pixel unit "B" 144 with a relatively large area is arranged on the side of the first pixel unit "A" 143 away from the irregular edge 11. With such an arrangement, the PPI of the pixel unit 14 closer to the irregular edge 11 in the irregular display area 12 can be higher, so that by increasing the number of pixel units 14 arranged per unit area on the side close to the irregular edge 11, the transition of the irregular edge 11 can be made smoother, and the user's eyes can be prevented from easily recognizing the edge jagged phenomenon, thereby improving the display effect of the irregular display panel 100. In addition, as Figure 6 As shown, the pixel units 14 on the side close to the irregular edge 11 can have different shapes and different areas. The pixel units 14 can be arranged to be irregularly divided, so that the pixel units 14 can be differentiated in design according to the specific curvature of the irregular edge 11, so that the pixel units 14 close to the irregular edge 11 are more closely fitted to the irregular edge 11, thereby making the edge display of the irregular display panel 100 smoother and the display effect more delicate.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 , Figure 6 Optionally, the special-shaped display area 12 further includes a second area 122, and in the direction from the special-shaped display area 12 to the conventional display area 13, the second area 122 is located between the first area 121 and the conventional display area 13;

[0067] In the second region 122 , S1 = S2 and R1 = R2 .

[0068] Specifically, the present application also provides an optional configuration method of dividing the special-shaped display area 12 into a first area 121 and a second area 122. Figure 4All parts of the special-shaped display area 12 except the first area 121 belong to the second area 122, wherein, in the direction from the special-shaped display area 12 to the conventional display area 13, the second area 122 is located between the first area 121 and the conventional display area 13, that is, the second area 122 is closer to the conventional display area 13 than the first area 121; that is, the second area 122 here can be equivalent to a transition area between a side area close to the special-shaped edge 11 (the first area 121) and the conventional display area 13. Based on this, the present application provides an optional setting method, in which the area of ​​the first pixel unit 141 in the second area 122 is equal to the area of ​​the second pixel unit 142; wherein the area of ​​the first pixel unit 141 is specifically the orthographic projection area S1 of the first pixel unit 141 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100, and the area of ​​the second pixel unit 142 is specifically the orthographic projection area S2 of the second pixel unit 142 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100; and the area of ​​the pixel unit 14 (the first pixel unit 141 and the second pixel unit 142) is not only Including the area of ​​its light-transmitting area, and also including the area occupied by the driving circuit of each pixel unit 14; at the same time, it can be set that in the second area 122, along the first direction, there is at least a spacing R1 between the center points of two adjacent first pixel units 141 equal to the spacing R2 between the center points of two adjacent second pixel units 142; and / or, along the second direction, there is at least a spacing R1 between the center points of two adjacent first pixel units 141 equal to the spacing R2 between the center points of two adjacent second pixel units 142.

[0069] That is, since the second area 122 is an area in the special-shaped display area 12 that is adjacent to the conventional display area 13, the second area 122 of the special-shaped display area 12 may include pixel units 14 having the same area as that in the conventional display area 13, and may also include pixel units 14 having the same center spacing between two adjacent pixel units 14 as that between two adjacent pixel units 14 in the conventional display area 13; in this way, the arrangement of some pixel units 14 in the second area 122 may be the same as that of the conventional display area 13, so that it is possible to arrange to The display effect of the pixel units 14 in a small number of the second areas 122 is the same as that of the regular display area 13, avoiding display differences visible to the user's eyes between the pixel units 14 in the second area 122 of the special-shaped display area 12 and the pixel units 14 in the regular display area 13, thereby weakening or eliminating the display difference caused by the different settings of the pixel units 14 in the regular display area 13 and the special-shaped display area 12 in the special-shaped display panel 100, weakening or eliminating the display boundary between the regular display area 13 and the special-shaped display area 12, improving the overall display uniformity of the special-shaped display panel 100, and improving the user experience.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 6 Optionally, in the second region 122 , the light-transmitting area 16 of the first pixel unit 141 is smaller than the light-transmitting area 16 of the second pixel unit 142 .

[0071] Specifically, when at least part of the pixel units 14 in the second area 122 of the special-shaped display area 12 are set to S1=S2 and R1=R2, the present application provides an optional setting method as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the light-transmitting area 16 of at least part of the first pixel unit 141 in the second area 122 is set to be smaller than the light-transmitting area 16 of the second pixel unit 142, so that the light-transmitting area 16 of the first pixel unit 141 in the special-shaped display area 12, which is far away from the special-shaped edge 11 and close to the conventional display area 13, is smaller than the light-transmitting area 16 of the second pixel unit 142 in the conventional display area 13. At this time, the light-emitting brightness of the pixel unit 14 in the second area 122 will be lower than the light-emitting brightness of the pixel unit 14 in the conventional display area 13, so that the second area 122 The luminous brightness of the first pixel unit 141 in the first area 121 is slightly different from the luminous brightness of the first pixel unit 141 in the first area 121, and at the same time, the luminous brightness of the first pixel unit 141 in the second area 122 is slightly different from the luminous brightness of the second pixel unit 142 in the conventional display area 13, thereby reducing the display difference between the conventional display area 13 and the special-shaped display area 12, avoiding the user's eyes from seeing the difference in display effects between the conventional display area 13 and the special-shaped display area 12 in the special-shaped display panel 100, and improving the display uniformity of the special-shaped display panel 100.

[0072] Figure 7 The embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 1 Another schematic diagram of area A, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 Optionally, in the second region 122 , the orthographic projection areas of the first pixel units 141 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100 are all the same;

[0073] In the second area 122, the first pixel unit 141 includes a first C pixel unit 145 and a first D pixel unit 146, the light-transmitting area 16 of the first C pixel unit 145 is P1, the light-transmitting area 16 of the first D pixel unit 146 is P2, and P1<P2;

[0074] Along the first direction, the first D pixel unit 146 is located on the side of the first C pixel unit 145 facing the regular display area 13; and / or,

[0075] Along the second direction, the first D pixel unit 146 is located on a side of the first C pixel unit 145 facing the normal display area 13 .

[0076] Specifically, the present application provides an optional setting method, in the second area 122, the first D pixel unit 146 with a larger light transmission area 16 is located on the side of the first C pixel unit 145 with a smaller light transmission area 16 facing the conventional display area 13 along the first direction, and / or, along the second direction, the first D pixel unit 146 with a larger light transmission area 16 is located on the side of the first C pixel unit 145 with a smaller light transmission area 16 facing the conventional display area 13; that is, in the second area 122, the first pixel unit 141 in the second area 122 can be set to be on the side of the special-shaped display area 13. The orthographic projections of the light-emitting surfaces of the panel 100 are the same. At this time, the light-transmitting area 16 of the first pixel unit 141 in the second area 122 is gradually increased in the direction along the irregular edge 11 pointing to the conventional display area 13, so that in the second area 122, along the direction along the irregular edge 11 pointing to the conventional display area 13, the luminous brightness of the pixel unit 14 is gradually increased when receiving the same driving voltage. In this way, the display difference problem that can be recognized by the user's human eye in the irregular display panel 100 can be avoided or eliminated, thereby improving the display uniformity of the irregular display panel 100.

[0077] Figure 8 The embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 1 Another schematic diagram of area A, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8 Optionally, in the special-shaped display area 12, the orthographic projection areas of the first pixel units 141 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100 are the same, and the distances between the center points of two first pixel units 141 adjacently arranged along the first direction and / or the second direction are the same;

[0078] Along the first direction and / or the second direction, the light-transmitting area 16 of the first pixel unit 141 close to the normal display area 13 is larger than the light-transmitting area 16 of the first pixel unit 141 far from the normal display area 13 .

[0079] Specifically, the present application also provides an optional setting method, in which the orthographic projection areas of all the first pixel units 141 in the special-shaped display area 12 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100 are set to be the same, and the distance between the center points of any two first pixel units 141 arranged adjacent to each other along the first direction and / or the second direction is the same. At this time, it can be further set that, among the two first pixel units 141 arranged adjacent to each other along the first direction and / or the second direction, the light-transmitting area 16 of the first pixel unit 141 close to the conventional display area 13 is larger than the light-transmitting area 16 of the first pixel unit 141 away from the conventional display area 13; that is, in the special-shaped display area 12, the orthographic projection areas of the first pixel units 141 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100 are the same, and the distance between the center points of any two first pixel units 141 arranged adjacent to each other along the first direction and / or the second direction is the same, then In a step, in the direction from the irregular edge 11 to the conventional display area 13, the light-transmitting area 16 of the first pixel unit 141 is increasingly larger, so that in the entire irregular display area 12 and in the direction along the irregular edge 11 to the conventional display area 13, when the pixel unit 14 receives the same driving voltage, the luminous brightness of the pixel unit 14 is gradually increased, so that the brightness difference between the conventional display area 13 and the irregular display area 12 can be reduced, and the irregular edge 11 of the irregular display panel 100 can be blurred by a relatively low luminous brightness, so as to further improve the transition smoothness of the irregular edge 11, avoid the user's human eye can easily identify the edge jagged phenomenon of the irregular display panel 100, and also avoid the user's human eye to observe the display difference between the irregular display area 12 and the conventional display area 13, thereby improving the display effect of the irregular display panel 100 and improving the user experience.

[0080] In addition, if Figure 8 As shown, it is possible to choose to set the shapes and areas of all the pixel units 14 in the entire special-shaped display area 12 to be the same, that is, all the first pixel units 141 located in the special-shaped display area 12 can be made into an equal-section structure with the same shape and size, so that the division of the pixel units 14 in the area is simpler, and it is also more convenient to carry out regular and modular production during the production process of this part of the pixel units 14, and the wiring related to this part of the pixel units 14 is also relatively simple, avoiding the need for differentiated settings such as cross-line and winding; and the first pixel units 141 produced in an equal-section structure are also more convenient for calculating the differentiated voltage size when it is necessary to apply different voltages to the pixel units 14 at different positions.

[0081] Fig. 9 The embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 1 Another schematic diagram of area A, please refer to Figure 1 and Fig. 9Optionally, along the first direction, at least two adjacent first pixel units 141 have the same light-transmitting area 16; and / or,

[0082] Along the second direction, at least two adjacent first pixel units 141 have the same light-transmitting area 16 .

[0083] Specifically, when the special-shaped display area 12 and the conventional display area 13 of the special-shaped display panel 100 are set to S1<S2, and R1<R2, the present application also provides an optional setting method, that is, along the first direction and / or the second direction, there are at least two adjacent first pixel units 141 whose light-transmitting areas 16 are the same, that is, their display brightness is the same when the same driving voltage is applied; for lower PPI products, the special-shaped edge 11 is divided by small-sized pixel units 14, and for the small-sized pixel units 14, the special-shaped edge 11 of the low PPI product is relatively long, and at least two adjacent pixel units 14 are set to have the same light-transmitting area 16. On the one hand, close to the conventional display area 13, the difference in light-transmitting area 16 is small. At this time, the light-transmitting area 16 of at least some pixel units 14 can be set to be consistent, thereby simplifying the edge design of some special-shaped display panels 100. On the other hand, it can also make the display effect from the special-shaped edge 11 to the conventional display area 13 transition smoothly without changing too drastically.

[0084] For example, Fig. 9 As shown, among the three pixel units 14 in the special-shaped display area 12, which are close to the conventional display area 13 and are arranged adjacent to the conventional display area 13 in the first direction, the light-transmitting area 16 of the "No. 255" pixel unit 14 is the same, and its corresponding display brightness is also the same. The light-transmitting areas 16 of the "No. 254" and "No. 250" pixel units 14 are relatively smaller, and their corresponding display brightness is also smaller, but the difference with the display brightness of the "No. 255" pixel unit 14 is not much; and the light-transmitting area 16 of the "No. 255" pixel unit 14 is the same as the light-transmitting area 16 of each pixel unit 14 in the conventional display area 13, that is, along the first direction and / or the second direction, there are three adjacently arranged pixel units 14, and two of them are adjacent to the conventional display area 13, and the light-transmitting areas 16 are the same. Only in this way can there be no obvious boundary at the junction of the special-shaped display area 12 and the conventional display area 13, thereby improving the display effect of the special-shaped display panel 100.

[0085] Fig.10 The embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 1 Another schematic diagram of area A, please refer to Figure 1 and Fig.10Optionally, in the first area 121, along the first direction, the spacing between the center points of at least two adjacent first pixel units 141 is D1, and along the second direction, the spacing between the center points of at least two adjacent first pixel units 141 is D2; D1<D2.

[0086] Specifically, the present application also provides an optional configuration mode, in which at least two rectangular first pixel units 141 may be provided in the first area 121 of the special-shaped display area 12, for example Fig.10 The first pixel unit 141 No. 1, the first pixel unit 141 No. 2, and the first pixel unit 141 No. 3 shown in the figure, the spacing D1 between the center points of the two first pixel units 141 (the first pixel unit 141 No. 1 and the first pixel unit 141 No. 3) arranged adjacently along the first direction is smaller than the spacing D2 between the center points of the two first pixel units 141 (the first pixel unit 141 No. 2 and the first pixel unit 141 No. 3) arranged adjacently along the second direction; it should be noted that the above-mentioned first pixel unit 141 is a rectangular first pixel unit 141 with a wide side along the first direction and a long side along the second direction, but the present application is not limited to this, and the first area 121 of the special-shaped display area 12 may also include first pixel units 141 of other shapes.

[0087] It should also be noted that the adjacently arranged first pixel units 141 of a rectangular shape provided here can be further arranged so that the light-transmitting areas 16 of two adjacently arranged first pixel units 141 gradually increase in the direction from the first area 121 to the conventional display area 13; in addition, the light-transmitting area 16 of the first pixel unit 141 can also be set as required; as long as the display brightness of the first pixel unit 141 relatively close to the conventional display area 13 and the display brightness of the pixel unit 14 in the conventional display area 13 can be made smaller, and the display brightness of the first pixel unit 141 relatively close to the conventional display area 13 and the display brightness of the first pixel unit 141 close to the special-shaped edge 11 have a smooth transition, and there is no sudden change in brightness between the conventional display area 13 and the special-shaped display area 12. That is, when the present application sets the first area 121 to include multiple rectangular first pixel units 141, the user can adjust the light-transmitting area of ​​each first pixel unit 141 in the special-shaped display area 12 according to needs. The present application does not make specific limitations on this. As long as the transition between the first area 121, the second area 122, and the conventional display area 13 of the special-shaped display panel 100 is smooth during display, the display effect of the special-shaped display panel 100 can be guaranteed.

[0088] In addition, if Fig.10This arrangement of the first pixel unit 141 in the first area 121 shown can be applied to situations where a higher degree of refinement is required in the first direction than in the second direction. That is, the embodiment provided in the present application can only perform small-size division in a certain direction (such as the first direction), and the size in the other direction remains unchanged.

[0089] Fig.11 The embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 1 Another schematic diagram of area A, please refer to Figure 1 and Fig.11 Optionally, in the first area 121, along the first direction, the spacing between the center points of at least two adjacent first pixel units 141 is D1, and along the second direction, the spacing between the center points of at least two adjacent first pixel units 141 is D2; D2<D1.

[0090] Specifically, the present application also provides an optional configuration mode, in which at least two rectangular first pixel units 141 may be provided in the first area 121 of the special-shaped display area 12, for example Fig.11 The first pixel unit 141 No. 1, the first pixel unit 141 No. 2, the first pixel unit 141 No. 3, and the first pixel unit 141 No. 4 shown in the figure, the spacing D1 between the center points of the two first pixel units 141 (the first pixel unit 141 No. 1 and the first pixel unit 141 No. 2) arranged adjacently along the first direction is greater than the spacing D2 between the center points of the two first pixel units 141 (the first pixel unit 141 No. 3 and the first pixel unit 141 No. 4) arranged adjacently along the second direction; it should be noted that the above-mentioned first pixel unit 141 is a rectangular first pixel unit 141 with a long side along the first direction and a wide side along the second direction, but the present application is not limited to this, and the first area 121 of the special-shaped display area 12 may also include first pixel units 141 of other shapes.

[0091] It should also be noted that the adjacently arranged first pixel units 141 of a rectangular shape provided here can be further arranged so that the light-transmitting areas 16 of two adjacently arranged first pixel units 141 gradually increase in the direction from the first area 121 to the conventional display area 13; in addition, the light-transmitting area 16 of the first pixel unit 141 can also be set as required; as long as the display brightness of the first pixel unit 141 relatively close to the conventional display area 13 and the display brightness of the pixel unit 14 in the conventional display area 13 can be made smaller, and the display brightness of the first pixel unit 141 relatively close to the conventional display area 13 and the display brightness of the first pixel unit 141 close to the special-shaped edge 11 have a smooth transition, and there is no sudden change in brightness between the conventional display area 13 and the special-shaped display area 12. That is, when the present application sets the first area 121 to include multiple rectangular first pixel units 141, the user can adjust the light-transmitting area of ​​each first pixel unit 141 in the special-shaped display area 12 according to needs. The present application does not make specific limitations on this. As long as the transition between the first area 121, the second area 122, and the conventional display area 13 of the special-shaped display panel 100 is smooth during display, the display effect of the special-shaped display panel 100 can be guaranteed.

[0092] In addition, if Fig.11 This arrangement of the first pixel unit 141 in the first area 121 shown can be applied to situations where a higher degree of refinement is required in the second direction than in the first direction. That is, the embodiment provided in the present application can only perform small-size division in a certain direction (such as the second direction), and the size in the other direction remains unchanged.

[0093] It should also be added that, in the above-mentioned embodiment, at least two adjacently arranged rectangular first pixel units 141 are included in the first area 121, which are only two optional settings provided by the present application, that is, when the pixel unit 14 in the conventional display area 13 is in a conventional rectangular shape (including a square shape), the first pixel unit 141 in the special-shaped display area 12 can be selected to be in a rectangular shape (including a square shape); however, the present application is not limited thereto, and the shape of the first pixel unit 141 in the special-shaped display area 12 can also be adjusted accordingly according to the requirements, as long as it can achieve the weakening of the sawtooth phenomenon of the special-shaped edge 11 and the weakening of the display difference between the conventional display area 13 and the special-shaped display area 12. For example, in the pixel unit 14 arranged adjacent to the special-shaped edge 11, it is also possible that the side connected to the special-shaped edge 11 completely overlaps with the special-shaped edge 11. In addition, if the pixel unit 14 in the conventional display area 13 is in a pentagon, a triangle or other shapes, then the shape of the first pixel unit 141 in the special-shaped display area 12 can be adjusted accordingly according to its rules.

[0094] It is also necessary to add that Fig.10 , Fig.11 In the embodiment shown, only the first area 121 of the special-shaped display area 12 includes a plurality of rectangular first pixel units 141, but the pixel units 141 included in the entire special-shaped display area 12 may also be configured as follows: Fig.10 The first pixel unit 141 shown in the figure is in a rectangular shape, or the pixel units 14 included in the entire irregular display area 12 may be configured as follows: Fig.11 The first pixel unit 141 is a rectangular shape as shown; wherein, Fig.10 , Fig.11 The extending directions of the long side and the wide side of the first pixel unit 141 in the rectangular shape are opposite.

[0095] Fig.12 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a first pixel unit and a second pixel unit provided in an embodiment of the present application. Fig.13 FIG. 1 is another schematic diagram of a first pixel unit and a second pixel unit provided in an embodiment of the present application. The present application also provides an optional configuration method, which can be as follows: Fig.12 As shown, the orthographic projection area of ​​6 adjacently arranged first pixel units 141 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100 is equal to the orthographic projection area of ​​1 second pixel unit 142 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100; Fig.13 As shown, the orthographic projection area of ​​three adjacent first pixel units 141 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100 is equal to the orthographic projection area of ​​one second pixel unit 142 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100; similarly, the orthographic projection area of ​​5, 7, or 8 adjacent first pixel units 141 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100 can be equal to the orthographic projection area of ​​one second pixel unit 142 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100. Furthermore, the present application does not specifically limit the arrangement of the plurality of first pixel units 141 whose orthographic projection area is equal to the orthographic projection area of ​​one second pixel unit 142 on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100, and the user can adjust the arrangement of the plurality of adjacent first pixel units 141 according to actual needs. Furthermore, the present application does not specifically limit the size of the light-transmitting area 16 of each first pixel unit 141, and the user can adjust the size of its light-transmitting area 16 accordingly according to needs.

[0096] Fig.14 The embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 1 Another schematic diagram of area A in the middle, Fig.15 The embodiment of the present application is shown in Fig.14 A schematic diagram of the C area, please refer to Figure 1 and Fig.14 , Fig.15Optionally, the first pixel unit 141 includes at least one sub-pixel 19, and the minimum distance between the center point of the light-transmitting area 161 of the sub-pixel 19 and the conventional display area 13 is smaller than the minimum distance between the center point of its orthographic projection on the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100 and the conventional display area 13.

[0097] Specifically, the present application also provides an optional setting method, in which each first pixel unit 141 located in the special-shaped display area 12 includes at least one sub-pixel 19, and the minimum distance W1 between the center point of the light-transmitting area 161 of at least part of the sub-pixels 19 and the conventional display area 13 can be set to be smaller than the minimum distance W2 between the center point of the orthographic projection of the light-emitting surface of the special-shaped display panel 100 and the conventional display area 13, that is, Fig.15 As shown, the specific light-transmitting area 161 of the sub-pixel 19 in at least part of the first pixel unit 141 can be set to be biased towards the side of the conventional display area 13 in the sub-pixel 19. Compared with the normally set sub-pixel 19, the light-transmitting area 161 in the normally set sub-pixel 19 is located in the middle of the sub-pixel 19; that is, the embodiment provided by the present application moves the light-emitting area (light-transmitting area 161) of the sub-pixel 19 in the corresponding sub-pixel 19 toward the side of the conventional display area 13, so that the light-emitting area (light-transmitting area 16) of the corresponding first pixel unit 141 as a whole is moved toward the side of the conventional display area 13, so that the display of a larger number of first pixel units 141 in the special-shaped display area 12 is more closely integrated with the display of the conventional display area 13, thereby weakening the display difference between the conventional display area 13 and the special-shaped display area 12, and improving the display effect of the special-shaped display panel 100.

[0098] It should be noted that the above-mentioned “minimum spacing” refers to the shortest distance between the center point of the light-transmitting area 161 of the sub-pixel 19 and the edge of the conventional display area 13 close to the special-shaped display area 12 .

[0099] Fig.16 The embodiment of the present application is shown in Fig.14 Another schematic diagram of the C area, please refer to Figure 1 , Fig.14 and Fig.16 , Optionally, the pixel unit 14 includes M color sub-pixels 19, M≥2;

[0100] The ratio of the light-transmitting area 161 of any color sub-pixel 19 in the special-shaped display area 12 to the sum of the areas of all first pixel units 141 is equal to the ratio of the light-transmitting area 161 of the same color sub-pixel 19 in the regular display area 13 to the sum of the areas of all second pixel units 142.

[0101] Specifically, the present application also provides an optional configuration method in which the pixel unit 14 of the special-shaped display panel 100 may include two or more sub-pixels 19 of two colors, such as Fig.14 , Fig.16 As shown, one pixel unit 14 may include three sub-pixels 19, and the ratio of the light-transmitting area 161 of any color sub-pixel 19 in the special-shaped display area 12 to the area of ​​all the first pixel units 141 may be set to be equal to the ratio of the light-transmitting area 161 of the same color sub-pixel 19 in the conventional display area 13 to the area of ​​all the second pixel units 142; for example, when the pixel unit 14 of the special-shaped display panel 100 includes three color sub-pixels 19, namely, a red sub-pixel 191, a green sub-pixel 192, and a blue sub-pixel 193, the proportion of the red sub-pixel 191 in the special-shaped display area 12 among all the first pixel units 141 may be set to be equal to the proportion of the red sub-pixel 191 in the conventional display area 13 among all the second pixel units 14 2, and at the same time, the proportion of the green sub-pixel 192 in the special-shaped display area 12 in all the first pixel units 141 is set to be equal to the proportion of the green sub-pixel 192 in the conventional display area 13 in all the second pixel units 142, and at the same time, the proportion of the blue sub-pixel 193 in the special-shaped display area 12 in all the first pixel units 141 is set to be equal to the proportion of the blue sub-pixel 193 in the conventional display area 13 in all the second pixel units 142. With such a setting, the color display effects of the special-shaped display area 12 and the conventional display area 13 can be exactly the same, especially when the entire special-shaped display panel 100 displays the same color, it can avoid the situation where there is a difference in color display, thereby improving the display uniformity of the special-shaped display panel 100.

[0102] It should be added that the equal proportions mentioned above refer to fluctuations within a range of 10%, not 100% identical.

[0103] Fig.17 The embodiment of the present application is shown in Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of the D region in the middle. Fig.18 The embodiment of the present application is shown in Fig.17 An enlarged view of the E area, please refer to Figure 1 , Fig. 9 and Fig.17 Optionally, along the extension direction of the special-shaped edge 11, the special-shaped display area 12 includes a third area 123, the third area 123 includes a plurality of first pixel units 141, and the ratio of the light-transmitting area 161 of at least one color sub-pixel 19 included in the third area 123 to the sum of the areas of all corresponding first pixel units 141 is not equal to the ratio of the light-transmitting area 161 of the same color sub-pixel 19 in the conventional display area 13 to the sum of the areas of all second pixel units 142;

[0104] Along the extension direction of the irregular edge 11, the ratio of the light-transmitting area 161 of any color sub-pixel 19 to the area sum of the corresponding first pixel unit 141 in the N adjacently arranged first pixel units 141 is equal to the ratio of the light-transmitting area 161 of the same color sub-pixel 19 in the regular display area 13 to the area sum of all second pixel units 142;

[0105] Wherein, N≥2, and N is an integer.

[0106] Specifically, along the extension direction of the irregular edge 11, there is at least one area (third area 123) in the irregular display area 12, and this third area 123 may include a plurality of first pixel units 141. The light-transmitting area 161 of a certain color sub-pixel 19 included in this part of the first pixel units 141 accounts for a different proportion of the light-transmitting area 161 of the same color sub-pixel 19 in the conventional display area 13 and accounts for a different proportion of the light-transmitting area 161 of the same color sub-pixel 19 in the area of ​​all second pixel units 142. On this basis, the present application provides an optional setting method, that is, along the extension direction of the irregular edge 11, this third area 123 includes a plurality of adjacently arranged first pixel units 141, and the ratio of the light-transmitting area 161 of any color sub-pixel 19 to the sum of the areas of the corresponding first pixel units 141 can be set to be equal to the ratio of the light-transmitting area 161 of the same color sub-pixel 19 in the conventional display area 13 and the sum of the areas of all second pixel units 142.

[0107] Specific implementation examples Fig.17 As shown, the third area 123 includes six first pixel units 141, each of which includes three sub-pixels 19, namely a red sub-pixel 191, a green sub-pixel 192, and a blue sub-pixel 193; wherein the sum of the light-transmitting areas 161 of the blue sub-pixels 193 in the third area 123 accounts for a smaller proportion of the sum of the light-transmitting areas 161 of the six first pixel units 141 than the sum of the light-transmitting areas 161 of the blue sub-pixels 193 in the conventional display area 13 accounts for a smaller proportion of the sum of the light-transmitting areas 161 of the blue sub-pixels 193 in all the second pixel units 14 2, however, the present application provides an optional setting method, that is, in at least two adjacent first pixel units 141 arranged along the extension direction of the special-shaped edge 11 and located in the E area, the sum of the light-transmitting areas 161 of the blue sub-pixels 193 accounts for a ratio of the sum of the light-transmitting areas 16 of the two first pixel units 141, which is equal to the ratio of the sum of the light-transmitting areas 161 of the blue sub-pixels 193 in the conventional display area 13 to the sum of the light-transmitting areas 16 of all the second pixel units 142.

[0108] That is, even if the proportion of a certain color sub-pixel 19 in an area is different from that in the conventional display area 13, as long as the proportion of any color sub-pixel 19 in the multiple first sub-pixel 19 units 14 arranged next to the irregular edge 11 in the irregular display area 12 can be ensured to be the same as that in the conventional display area 13, the display effect near the irregular edge 11 in the irregular display area 12 can be ensured to be the same as that in the conventional display area 13 as much as possible, thereby avoiding the situation where the display effect of the area near the irregular edge 11 of the irregular display panel 100 is obviously different from that of the conventional display area 13 when the irregular display panel 100 is in the display state, and avoiding the occurrence of edge color separation, thereby avoiding the problem of obvious jagged phenomenon of the irregular edge 11 of the irregular display panel 100 as much as possible, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel.

[0109] Based on this, it can also be set that in each row of pixel units 14, the pixel units 14 arranged along the irregular edge 11 include 2 or more color sub-pixels 19; wherein, the orthographic projection area of ​​each color sub-pixel 19 included in the same pixel unit 14 on the light-emitting surface of the irregular display panel 100 may be of different sizes. In addition, the light-transmitting areas of adjacently arranged color sub-pixels 19 on the light-emitting surface of the irregular display panel 100 can be adjusted so that the light-transmitting areas of each color sub-pixel 19 arranged along the irregular edge 11 on the light-emitting surface of the irregular display panel 100 are almost equal. It is best that the light-transmitting area of ​​each color sub-pixel 19 in the corresponding first pixel units 141 accounts for the same proportion of the light-transmitting area of ​​the same color sub-pixel 19 in the conventional display area 13 in the corresponding second pixel unit 142, thereby ensuring that the display effect along the irregular edge 11 in the irregular display area 12 is the same as that in the conventional display area 13, avoiding the phenomenon of edge color separation, and improving the display effect of the display panel.

[0110] Fig.19 The embodiment of the present application is shown in Fig.17 An enlarged view of the F region in the middle. Fig. 20 The embodiment of the present application is shown in Fig. 9 Another schematic diagram of the D area in the middle. It should be noted that Fig. 20 In order to clearly show the G area, compared with Fig. 9 The number of pixel units 14 in the special-shaped display area 12 is reduced; the arrangement of the pixel units 14 in the special-shaped display area 12 shown in the drawings of the present application is only for illustrative purposes of the embodiments of the present application, and is not used to limit the number of rows and columns of the pixel units 14 in the special-shaped display area 12. Users can adjust the number of rows, columns, size, shape, etc. of the pixel units 14 in the special-shaped display area 12 according to their needs. Please refer to Figure 1 , Fig. 9 and Fig.17 , Fig.19 , Fig. 20 Optionally, along the extension direction of the irregular edge 11, at least two adjacent first pixel units 141 are included, and any color sub-pixel 19 in one first pixel unit 141 is arranged close to the irregular edge 11, and the same color sub-pixel 19 in the other first pixel unit 141 is arranged away from the irregular edge 11.

[0111] Specifically, the present application also provides an optional configuration mode, in which at least two adjacently arranged first pixel units 141 are provided along the extension direction of the irregular edge 11, there is a sub-pixel 19 of the same color provided adjacently in the two first pixel units 141; for example Fig.17 As shown in the F area of ​​FIG. 1 , when the two first pixel units 141 each include three color sub-pixels, namely, a red sub-pixel 191, a green sub-pixel 192, and a blue sub-pixel 193, as shown in FIG. Fig.17 and Fig.19 As shown, the blue sub-pixel 193 in one of the first pixel units 141 can be arranged closer to the side of the irregular edge 11 than the other color sub-pixels 19 therein, and the blue sub-pixel 193 in another adjacent first pixel unit 141 can be arranged farther away from the side of the irregular edge 11 than the other color sub-pixels 19 therein, so that the blue sub-pixels 193 in the two adjacent first pixel units 141 are arranged adjacently. That is, the present application does not specifically limit the arrangement order of the different color sub-pixels 19 included in the first pixel unit 141, and the user can adjust it accordingly according to actual needs.

[0112] Furthermore, this arrangement utilizes the changing trend of the irregular edge 11. On the one hand, in order to make the irregular edge 11 more delicate, the sub-pixels 19 are all set with different light transmission areas 16. For example, in order to adapt to the changing trend of the irregular edge 11, Fig. 20In the G area shown, the light-transmitting area 16 ratio of the red sub-pixel 191 close to the irregular edge 11 can be reduced. However, in order to ensure that the overall chromaticity is not abnormal, the light-transmitting area 16 ratio of the three sub-pixels of red, green, and blue is required to be equal to that of the conventional display area 13. In this case, a red sub-pixel 191 with a larger light-transmitting area 16 ratio can be set in the pixel unit near it. In order to adapt to the changing trend of the irregular edge 11, the sub-pixel with a larger light-transmitting area 16 ratio needs to be set away from the irregular edge 11. Therefore, there may be two adjacent areas near the irregular edge 11, one of which is arranged in the order of RGB, in which R accounts for a smaller proportion, and the other is arranged in the order of BGR, in which R accounts for a larger proportion; thereby not only ensuring that the chromaticity of the irregular edge 11 does not deviate, but also ensuring the delicate display effect of the corresponding area of ​​the irregular edge 11. Here, R refers to the red sub-pixel, B refers to the blue sub-pixel, and G refers to the green sub-pixel.

[0113] It should also be added that the equal areas and equal spacings mentioned in this application document refer to the fluctuation being equal within a range of 10%, and do not require 100% identity.

[0114] Fig.21 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a display device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 , Figure 3-Figure 18 Reference Fig.21 Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides a display device 200, which includes a special-shaped display panel 100, and the special-shaped display panel 100 is any special-shaped display panel 100 provided in the present application.

[0115] It should be noted that the embodiment of the display device 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application can refer to the embodiment of the above-mentioned special-shaped display panel 100, and will not be repeated. The display device 200 provided in the present application can be: a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, a laptop computer, a navigator, or any other product or component with a display function.

[0116] It can be seen from the above embodiments that the special-shaped display panel and display device provided by the present invention achieve at least the following beneficial effects:

[0117] The present application provides a special-shaped display panel and a display device. The present application sets the orthographic projection area of ​​a first pixel unit located in a special-shaped display area to be smaller than or equal to the orthographic projection area of ​​a second pixel unit located in a conventional display area, and sets the spacing between the center points of at least part of two adjacent first pixel units in a first direction and / or a second direction to be smaller than the spacing between the center points of two adjacent second pixel units. In this way, the pixel density of the edge pixel area (special-shaped display area) is increased, thereby weakening the jagged problem of pixels in the special-shaped edge area, so that the edge display of the special-shaped display panel is smoother.
