Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments described in this specification relate to the field of display technology, specifically to a display panel and a display device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of science and technology, various electronic products have become an indispensable part of our lives, playing a vital role in people's work, study, information communication, daily life and other fields. As products continue to iterate and develop, people are gradually demanding better display effects from electronic products.

[0003] As human demand for superior display effects continues to rise, transparent displays have emerged as a new display technology, gaining popularity due to their high visibility, vibrant colors, and strong technological appeal. Transparent displays also boast excellent environmental integration, providing users with a novel visual experience, and their application across various fields is increasingly permeating our lives. However, current transparent displays suffer from a problem where the border and display area cannot be perfectly aligned, resulting in a very noticeable border that negatively impacts the display quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, this specification provides several embodiments of a display panel and display device that, to a certain extent, solve the problem of very obvious border boundaries in transparent displays. This unifies the border with the display area, improving the display effect of the display panel.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this specification provides a display panel, including: a display area and a non-display area, wherein the display area includes a plurality of pixel islands, and the non-display area includes a plurality of GIP circuit units, each GIP circuit unit being connected to a row of pixel islands, and each circuit unit including at least two GIP circuit islands.

[0016] Please see Figure 1One embodiment of this specification provides a display panel 10, which includes a non-display area 120 and a display area 110. The non-display area 120 includes a plurality of GIP circuit units 121, each GIP circuit unit 121 being connected to a row of pixel islands 1211, and each GIP circuit unit 121 including at least two GIP circuit islands 1211.

[0017] In this embodiment, the display panel 10 includes a display area 110 for displaying images and a non-display area 120 surrounding the display area 110. The display area 120 is formed by a plurality of pixel islands 111, and the non-display area 120 includes a plurality of GIP circuit units 121. Each GIP circuit unit 121 is connected to a row of pixel islands 1211, and each GIP circuit unit 121 includes at least two GIP circuit islands 1211. By dividing the GIP circuit units 121 in the non-display area 120 into a plurality of GIP circuit islands 1211, the difference between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120 is reduced to a certain extent, which improves the display consistency of the display panel 10, thereby improving the display effect and enhancing the user experience.

[0018] In some embodiments, the display panel 10 can display different images by controlling the pixel islands 111. The GIP circuit islands 1211 can be gate-in-panel circuits that provide gate drive signals to the transistor devices within the pixel islands 111. Each GIP circuit unit 121 is connected to a row of pixel islands 111. GIP circuit units 121 in the same row control the transistor devices of multiple pixel islands 111 in the same row. GIP circuit units 121 in different rows can be cascaded sequentially, meaning the drive signal for the next GIP circuit unit 121 is output from the previous row of GIP circuit units 121. Of course, the drive signals for different rows of GIP circuit units 121 can also be set independently.

[0019] In some implementations, the GIP unit 121 can be divided into multiple GIP circuit islands 1211 according to the area of ​​the pixel island 111, so that the areas of the pixel island 111 and the GIP circuit island 1211 are relatively close, thereby reducing the difference between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120 to a certain extent and improving the display effect. Specifically, for example, the area of ​​the pixel island 111 is 3nm. 2 The GIP pixel unit 121 is 9nm. 2 At that time, GIP unit 121 was split into 3 nm 2 The GIP circuit island 1211. Of course, the GIP circuit unit 121 can also be divided into multiple GIP circuit islands 1211 with an area close to that of the pixel island 111. Specifically, for example, the area of ​​the pixel island 111 is 2nm.2 The GIP pixel unit 121 is 5nm. 2 The GIP circuit unit 121 can be split into a 2nm unit. 2 GIP circuit island 1211 and 1 3nm 2 The GIP circuit island 1211. The GIP circuit unit 121 is divided into multiple GIP circuit islands 1211 according to the area, and there are high light transmittance areas between them, which improves the transparency effect of the non-display area 120.

[0020] In some implementations, the GIP circuit unit 121 can be divided into multiple GIP circuit islands 1211 according to a method that reduces the total area, which can reduce signal loss and reduce lateral traces, etc.

[0021] In some embodiments, the GIP circuit unit 121 can also be divided according to the number of devices. Specifically, for example, the GIP circuit unit 121 includes a 10T3C circuit, which is divided into two GIP circuit islands 1211 according to 5T1C and 5T2C, with 4 transmission lines. It can also be divided into two GIP circuit islands 1211 according to 6T1C and 4T2C, with 3 transmission lines.

[0022] In some embodiments, at least two of the multiple GIP circuit islands 1211 included in each GIP circuit unit 121 are arranged in a row so that the multiple GIP circuit islands 1211 in the GIP circuit unit 121 are arranged in accordance with the pixel islands 111. This eliminates to some extent the obvious boundary between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120 caused by the inconsistent circuit arrangement between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel 10 and enhancing the user experience.

[0023] In some embodiments, pixel island 111 may include a TFT device, a light-emitting functional layer, and the drain of an FTF device electrically connected to the light-emitting functional layer so that the FTF device drives the light-emitting functional layer to emit light.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the distance between two horizontally adjacent pixel islands 111 and the distance between two horizontally adjacent GIP circuit islands 1211, as well as the distance between a horizontally adjacent pixel island and a GIP circuit island 1211, are the same; the distance between two vertically adjacent GIP circuit islands 1211 is the same as the distance between two vertically adjacent pixel islands 111.

[0025] In this embodiment, multiple pixel islands 111 and GIP circuit islands 1211 are arranged horizontally in multiple rows, and multiple pixel islands 111 or multiple GIP circuit islands 1211 are arranged vertically in multiple columns. Each row includes multiple pixel islands 111 and GIP circuit units 121 arranged horizontally. The distance between two horizontally adjacent pixel islands 111 is the same as the distance between two horizontally adjacent GIP circuit islands 1211, and the distance between two horizontally adjacent pixel islands 111 and GIP circuit islands 1211 is the same as the distance between two vertically adjacent GIP circuit islands 1211. This arrangement of pixel islands 111 and GIP circuit islands 1211 in a certain manner reduces the difference between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120 to a certain extent, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel 10.

[0026] In some embodiments, the display panel 10 includes a plurality of pixel islands 111 forming a display area 110; wherein the plurality of pixel islands 111 and the GIP circuit islands 1211 are arranged according to the same pattern.

[0027] In some implementations, by arranging multiple pixel islands 111 and multiple GIP circuit islands 1211 in the same manner, the arrangement of pixel islands 111 in display area 110 and multiple GIP circuit islands 1211 in non-display area 120 is made consistent. This eliminates to some extent the obvious boundary between display area 110 and non-display area 120 caused by inconsistent circuit arrangement, thereby improving the display effect of display panel 10 and enhancing user experience.

[0028] In some embodiments, the display panel 10 includes multiple island areas 130, each island area 130 comprising multiple pixel islands 111 and multiple GIP circuit islands 1211. The multiple island areas 130 can be arranged according to the same layout rule. Specifically, for example, the horizontal distance between adjacent island areas 130 in a horizontally arranged configuration on the display panel 10 is the same. Similarly, the vertical distance between adjacent island areas 130 in a vertically arranged configuration is the same, so that the multiple island areas 130 are arranged according to the same layout rule. Alternatively, both the horizontal and vertical distances between the multiple island areas 130 can be the same.

[0029] In some embodiments, the display panel 10 may further include a plurality of connecting lines 140, which connect two adjacent pixel islands 111 among the plurality of pixel islands 111. The connecting lines 140 may also connect adjacent pixel islands 111 and GIP circuit islands 1211, and may also connect two adjacent GIP circuit islands 1211. Generally, the connecting lines 140 are made of metal, thereby realizing electrical connections between the plurality of pixel islands 111, between pixel islands 111 and GIP circuit islands 1211, and between pixel islands 111 and GIP circuit islands 1211.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the pixel island 111 and the GIP circuit island 1211 have the same shape when projected onto the substrate 260, and the area of ​​the GIP circuit island 1211 is less than or equal to the area of ​​the pixel island 111.

[0031] In this embodiment, the projection lines of the pixel islands 111 in the display area 110 and the GIP circuit islands 1211 in the non-display area 120 are approximately the same as the orthographic projections formed perpendicular to the substrate 260. Specifically, for example, the orthographic projections of the pixel islands 111 and the GIP circuit islands 1211 can be the same circle, the same rectangle, or other identical shapes. Making the orthographic projections of the metal of the pixel islands in the display area 110 and the GIP circuit islands in the non-display area 120 onto the substrate the same eliminates the obvious boundary between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel 10. The area of ​​the orthographic projection of the GIP circuit island 1211 is equal to the area of ​​the orthographic projection of the pixel island 111, so that the metal diffraction rates of the pixel islands 111 and the GIP circuit islands 1211 are consistent to a certain extent, reducing the difference between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120, thereby improving the display effect. The area of ​​the orthographic projection of the GIP circuit island 1211 can be smaller than the area of ​​the orthographic projection of the pixel island 111. However, the area of ​​the orthographic projection of the GIP circuit island 1211 cannot be too small, so as to increase the transmittance of the non-display area and thus improve the display effect. Specifically, for example, the area of ​​the orthographic projection of the GIP circuit island 1211 can be 70% to 100% of the area of ​​the orthographic projection of the pixel island 111.

[0032] In some embodiments, the shapes of the orthographic projections of pixel island 111 and GIP circuit island 1211 on substrate 260 may be different. In this case, a metal layer can be covered on GIP circuit island 1211 to make the orthographic projection of GIP circuit island 1211 on substrate 260 the same as the orthographic projection of pixel island 111 on substrate 260. Alternatively, the orthographic projection areas of GIP circuit island 1211 on substrate 260 and pixel island 111 on substrate 260 can be the same to make the light diffraction patterns of pixel island 111 and GIP circuit island 1211 consistent, thereby making the light diffraction patterns of display area 110 and non-display area 120 consistent, thus blurring the boundary between display area 110 and non-display area 120, thereby improving the display effect of display panel 10.

[0033] In some embodiments, the display panel includes multiple island areas 130, each island area 130 comprising multiple pixel islands 111 and multiple GIP circuit islands 1211. The orthographic projections of the multiple island areas 130 onto the substrate 206 have the same shape, and the multiple connecting lines 140 connecting the multiple island areas 130 have the same shape and size. This makes the shape and size of the connecting lines 140 and adjacent island areas 130 identical, thereby blurring the distinction between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120 to some extent, thus improving the display effect. Of course, the patterns of the connecting lines 140 connecting the multiple island areas 130 horizontally and vertically are identical.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the GIP circuit island 1211 includes a driving array structure 250 and a shielding metal layer 240; the driving array structure 250 is located between the shielding metal layer 240 and the substrate 260; wherein the orthographic projection of the shielding metal layer 240 onto the substrate 260 coincides with the driving array structure 250.

[0035] In this embodiment, the GIP circuit island 1211 includes a driving array structure 250 and a shielding metal layer 240 for shielding the array structure 250. The driving array structure 250 is located between the shielding metal layer 240 and the substrate 260, that is, the shielding metal layer 240 is located on the side of the driving array structure 250 away from the substrate 260. The forward projection of the shielding metal layer 240 on the substrate 260 can coincide with the forward projection of the driving array structure 250 on the substrate 260, thereby improving the shielding effect of the shielding metal layer 240 on the driving array structure 250. This allows the shielding metal layer 240 to cover multiple driving array structures 250, reducing metal diffraction, improving display consistency, and thus improving the display effect.

[0036] In some embodiments, the drain 221 of the TFT structure 220 in the pixel island 111 is electrically connected to the light-emitting electrode layer 210 to drive the light-emitting functional layer to emit light. The pixel island 111 may also have a metal shielding layer 230 that shields the TFT structure 220. The metal shielding layer 230 may be connected to the drain 221 of the TFT structure 220 in the same layer as the shielding metal layer 240, so that the pattern formed by the pixel island 111 and the GIP circuit island 1211 is the same, thereby reducing the display difference between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel 10.

[0037] In some embodiments, the metal shielding layer 230 and the shielding metal layer 240 of the TFT structure 220 that shields the pixel island 111 can be formed by the same metal layer, or they can have metal layers of the same material, so that the light diffraction of the display area 110 and the non-display area 120 are consistent.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the display panel 10 includes transparent units 151, each of which has the same orthographic projection onto the substrate 260; the transparent units 151 are surrounded by pixel islands 111 and / or GIP circuit islands 1211, a first connecting line 141 is provided between two adjacent pixel islands 111, a second connecting line 142 is provided between adjacent pixel islands 111 and GIP circuit islands 1211, and a third connecting line 143 is provided between two adjacent GIP circuit islands 1211.

[0039] In this embodiment, the display panel 10 includes a transparent unit 151. The display area 110 and the non-display area 120 both include the transparent unit 151. The transparent unit 151 has the same orthographic projection on the substrate 260. The transparent unit 151 is surrounded by pixel islands 111 and / or GIP circuit islands 1211. Specifically, for example, the transparent unit 151 is surrounded by pixel islands 111, and the transparent unit 151 may also be surrounded by GIP circuit islands 1211. The transparent unit 151 is surrounded by pixel islands 111 and GIP circuit islands 1211, so that the transparent areas 151 of the display area 110 and the non-display area 120 are the same, reducing the difference between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel 10.

[0040] In this embodiment, a first connecting line 141 is provided between two adjacent pixel islands 111, a second connecting line 142 is provided between adjacent pixel islands 111 and GIP circuit islands 1211, and a third connecting line 143 is provided between two adjacent GIP circuit islands 1211.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the plurality of pixel islands 111 and the plurality of GIP circuit islands 1211 constitute a plurality of island regions 130; wherein, the plurality of island regions 130 are provided with connecting lines 140, and four adjacent island regions 130 and connecting lines 140 form an adjacent island unit 150, and a transparent area 151 is formed in each of the plurality of adjacent island units 150, and the area ratio of the transparent area 151 in each adjacent island unit 150 is the same;

[0042] In some embodiments, an electrical connection is formed between multiple island areas 130, and a connecting line 140 is provided between the multiple island areas 130. Four adjacent island areas 130 are connected by the connecting line 140 to form an adjacent island unit 150. The display panel 10 has multiple adjacent island units 150. The adjacent island unit 150 may include four adjacent pixel islands 111 in the display area 110 and the connecting line 140 to form an adjacent island unit 150. It may also include two pixel islands 111 and two GIP circuit islands 1211 at the junction of the display area 110 and the non-display area 120 to form an adjacent island unit 150 through the connecting line 140. It may also include four GIP circuit islands 1211 in the non-display area 120 to form an adjacent island unit 150 through the connecting line 140.

[0043] In some embodiments, a transparent area 151 is formed in each of the multiple adjacent island units 150. The display panel 10 includes multiple adjacent island units 150, and each adjacent island unit 150 may include an island area 130, a connecting line 140, and a transparent area 151. The transparent area 151 is the portion of the adjacent island unit 150 that does not have an island area 130 and a connecting line 140, and does not have any other metal parts. The multiple island areas 130 are arranged according to the same arrangement rule of the area proportion of the transparent areas 151 in the adjacent island units 150, so that the arrangement of the multiple island areas 130 in different areas of the display panel 10 is the same, thereby eliminating the difference between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120, reducing the difference in transmittance between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120, thereby improving the uniformity of the display area 110 and the non-display area 120 and improving the display effect of the display panel 10.

[0044] In some implementations, the area ratio is expressed as the ratio of the area of ​​the transparent region 151 in the adjacent island unit 150 to the area of ​​the adjacent island unit 150. The area of ​​the adjacent island unit 150 may include the sum of the areas of the four island regions 130, the four connecting lines 140, and the transparent region 151 of the adjacent island unit 150. Specifically, for example, the area of ​​the adjacent island unit 150 is 20 nm. 2 The area of ​​the transparent region 151 is 16nm. 2 This area accounts for 4 / 5.

[0045] Please see Figure 1In some embodiments, the horizontal and vertical arrangement rules of the plurality of adjacent island units 150 of the display panel 10 are the same.

[0046] In some embodiments, the multiple adjacent island units 150 in the display panel 10 can be arranged according to the same horizontal arrangement rule for each row of adjacent island units 150. Specifically, for example, the horizontal arrangement rule can be that the distance between adjacent island units 150 in each row is the same, or that the orthographic projections of adjacent island units 150 in multiple rows overlap. The multiple adjacent island units 150 can also be arranged according to the same vertical arrangement rule for each column of adjacent island units 150. The vertical arrangement rule can also be that the distance between adjacent island units 150 in each column is the same, or that the orthographic projections of adjacent island units 150 in multiple columns overlap.

[0047] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the connecting line 140 includes a first connecting line 141 between pixel islands 111 and a second connecting line 142 between pixel islands 111 and GIP circuit islands 1211; the second connecting line 142 and the third connecting line 143 include: a plurality of lines for transmitting signals, and a shielding line disposed on the side of the lines away from the substrate 260, and the shape of the shielding line is the same as the shape of the first connecting line, and the shielding line is disposed in the same layer as the shielding metal layer 240; preferably, the orthographic projection of the shielding line on the substrate 260 covers the orthographic projection of the lines on the substrate 260.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first connecting line 141 is used for connecting multiple pixel islands 111, the second connecting line 142 is used for connecting pixel islands 111 and GIP circuit islands 1211, and the third connecting line 143 is used for connecting GIP circuit islands. The second connecting line 142 and the third connecting line 143 include multiple lines and shielding lines for signal transmission. These multiple lines are respectively connected to pixel islands 111 and GIP circuit islands 1211 for signal transmission. The shielding line is stacked on top of the multiple lines, meaning the shielding layer is disposed on the side of the lines away from the substrate. Of course, there is an isolation layer between the shielding line and the lines, and other non-electrically connected layers may also be present. The orthographic projection of the shielding line on the substrate 260 covers the corresponding line. The shielding line shields multiple lines. The shape of the shielding line is the same as the shape of the first connecting line 141, so that the orthographic projections of the second connecting line 142 and the third connecting line 143 on the substrate 260 are the same as the orthographic projections of the first connecting line 141 on the substrate. This reduces the difference between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120, thereby improving the consistency between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120, and thus improving the display effect of the display panel 10.

[0049] In some implementations, the non-display area 120 may not include the GIP circuit island 1211, and the second connection line 142 includes a shielding line that forms the same pattern as the first connection line 141. This shielding line can be used to transmit signals.

[0050] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the plurality of island areas 130 further includes one or more metal islands 123 located in the non-display area 120, wherein the metal islands 123 have the same pattern formed by the orthographic projection of the pixel islands 111 onto the substrate 260, and the area of ​​the metal islands 123 is less than or equal to the area of ​​the pixel islands 111; preferably, a fourth connecting line 145 is provided between the metal islands 123 and the pixel islands 111 and / or the GIP circuit islands 1211; preferably, a fifth connecting line 144 is provided between the metal islands 123.

[0051] In this embodiment, when there is no GIP circuit island 1211 in the non-display area 123, one or more metal islands 123 are provided in the non-display area 120. The shape of the orthographic projection of the metal island 123 on the substrate is the same as the shape of the orthographic projection of the pixel island 111 on the substrate, improving the consistency between the display area 110 and the non-display area 1201, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel 10. The orthographic projection area of ​​the metal island 123 can be equal to the orthographic projection area of ​​the pixel island 111, reducing the metal transmittance of the display area 110 and the non-display area 120 to be consistent, reducing the display difference between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120, thereby improving the display effect. The orthographic projection area of ​​the metal island 123 can be smaller than the orthographic projection area of ​​the pixel island 111, but it cannot be too small, so that the orthographic projection area of ​​the metal island 123 can be close to the orthographic projection area of ​​the pixel island 111. While providing consistency between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120, it can also increase the transmittance of the non-display area 120, thereby improving the display effect.

[0052] In this embodiment, when there is no GIP circuit island 1211 in the non-display area 120, one or more metal islands 123 are provided in the non-display area 120. The orthographic projection of the metal island 123 on the substrate 260 is consistent with or nearly the same as the orthographic projection of the pixel island 111 on the substrate 260, thereby improving the consistency between the display area 110 and the non-display area 1201 and thus improving the display effect of the display panel 10.

[0053] In some embodiments, a fourth connection line 145 is provided between the metal island and the pixel island and / or the GIP circuit island.

[0054] In some embodiments, a fourth connecting line 145 is provided between the metal island 123 and the pixel island 111. The fourth connecting line 145 can be used to transmit signals and can also improve the consistency between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120, thereby improving the display effect.

[0055] In some embodiments, a fourth connection line is provided between the metal island 123 and the GIP circuit island 1211. This fourth connection line can be used to transmit signals and can also improve the consistency between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120, thereby improving the display effect.

[0056] In some embodiments, a fifth connecting line 144 is provided between the plurality of metal islands 123. The orthographic projection of the fifth connecting line 144 on the substrate 260 has the same shape and area as the orthographic projection of the first connecting line 141 on the substrate 260, which improves the consistency between the non-display area 120 and the display area 110 to a certain extent, thereby improving the display effect.

[0057] In some implementations, multiple metal islands 123 and a fifth connecting line 144 between them can be used to transmit signals, saving costs.

[0058] In some embodiments, the plurality of metal islands 123 and the plurality of fifth connecting lines 144 are based on the same metal layer, which reduces the difficulty of the process and saves costs.

[0059] In some implementations, one or more metal islands 123 and multiple fourth connection lines 145 are arranged on the same metal layer, which reduces the difficulty of the process and saves costs.

[0060] In some embodiments, the metal island 123 and the shielding line are arranged in the same layer.

[0061] In this embodiment, the multiple metal islands 123 and the blocking lines 144 can be formed by etching the same metal layer. Of course, they can also be formed by other methods. Forming based on the same metal layer can reduce manufacturing costs, improve manufacturing efficiency, and also improve the consistency between the multiple metal islands 123 and the multiple blocking lines 144, improve the display consistency of the non-display area 1201, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel.

[0062] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the pixel island 111 has a light-emitting electrode transition layer 231, which is disposed in the same layer as the shielding metal layer 240, and the light-emitting electrode transition layer 231 and the shielding metal layer 240 are electrically disconnected.

[0063] In this embodiment, to prevent the light-emitting electrode layer 210 from being damaged by the drain 221 in the pixel driving array structure 220, a light-emitting electrode transition layer 230 is provided between the light-emitting electrode layer 210 and the drain 221 of the pixel driving array structure 220. The light-emitting electrode transition layer 230 is disposed on the same layer as the shielding metal layer 240, which can make the metal transmittance of the display area 110 and the non-display area 120 consistent, thereby improving the consistency between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120 and improving the display effect of the display panel 10. The light-emitting electrode transition layer 230 is electrically disconnected from the shielding metal layer 240, which can prevent short circuits caused by signal transmission between the display area 110 and the non-display area 120.
