Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a display device, and particularly to a display panel. BACKGROUND
[0002] A transparent display panel is a display panel with a certain degree of transmittance. A user can see the image information displayed on the transparent display panel and can also see the background information behind the transparent display panel. The transparent display panel is suitable for various scenes such as vending machines, car windows, and shop windows. The transparent display panel usually adopts liquid crystal display (LCD), organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or micro light-emitting diode (μLED) technology.
[0003] In order for a user to simultaneously receive display information and background physical information, the transparent display panel has a component arrangement area with a low average optical transmission and a transmittance area with a high average optical transmission. The component arrangement area can be used to arrange the driving electrodes of the liquid crystal display or the self-luminous diodes (such as organic light-emitting diodes or micro light-emitting diodes) and the related circuit traces, and the transmittance area can allow the user to receive the background behind the transparent display panel. Since the circuit traces will divide the transmittance area into a plurality of small transmittance areas, this can cause the generation of diffraction phenomena and reduce the image quality. Therefore, how to reduce the diffraction phenomena in the transparent display panel and maintain a certain degree of transmittance of the transparent display panel has become a problem that needs to be solved at present.

[0020] In an embodiment of the present application, the adjacent gate line regions are symmetrical to each other.

[0070] Please refer to FIG. 1A to FIG. 1CThe display panel 10 includes multiple driving electrode regions 100 and multiple wiring regions 110. The multiple driving electrode regions 100 can be arranged sequentially along an arrangement direction to form a periodic array, such as the x-direction or the y-direction intersecting the x-direction. In some embodiments, the x-direction can be perpendicular to the y-direction, but this is not a limitation. The multiple wiring regions 110 are connected between the driving electrode regions 100. The multiple wiring regions 110 can distinguish between multiple gate line regions GL and multiple data line regions DL, wherein the main extension directions of the gate line regions GL and the data line regions DL are different. Each of the multiple wiring regions 110 can be provided with one or more wirings, and the material of the wirings can be, for example, metal, but this invention is not limited thereto. In other words, a wiring region 110 can be understood as the area where the wirings are located, and the distribution of the wiring regions 110 can be determined by the outline of the wirings. The wirings in the wiring regions 110 can be used to transmit signals to the corresponding driving electrode regions 100.
[0071] exist FIG. 1A In the above, taking the driving electrode regions 100 arranged along a single direction (x direction or y direction) as an example, the 2n-1th trace region 110 extending from the 2n-1th driving electrode region 100 toward the 2nth driving electrode region 100 has a trace extension direction that forms a positive angle with the arrangement direction, while the 2nth trace region 110 extending from the 2nth driving electrode region 110 toward the 2n+1th driving electrode region 100 has a trace extension direction that forms a negative angle with the arrangement direction, where n is a positive integer. The 2n-1th trace region 110 and the 2nth trace region 110 are respectively located on opposite sides of the straight connecting line of the 2n-1th driving electrode region 100, the 2nth driving electrode region 100 and the 2n+1th driving electrode region 100.
[0072] For example, the plurality of drive electrode regions 100 includes drive electrode regions 101-1, 101-2, 101-3, 101-4 arranged in sequence in the same column along the x direction, and the plurality of wiring regions 110 can include wiring regions 111-x1, 111-x2, 111-x3 arranged in the x direction alternately with the drive electrode regions 101-1, 101-2, 101-3, 101-4. That is, the wiring region 111-x1 is located between the drive electrode regions 101-1, 101-2, the wiring region 111-x2 is located between the drive electrode regions 101-2, 101-3, and the wiring region 111-x3 is located between the drive electrode regions 101-3, 101-4. In other words, the wiring region 111-x1 and the wiring region 111-x2 are located on opposite sides of the straight line connecting the drive electrode regions 101-1, 101-2, 101-3, respectively, and the wiring region 111-x2 and the wiring region 111-x3 are located on opposite sides of the straight line connecting the drive electrode regions 101-2, 101-3, 101-4, respectively. The wirings in the wiring regions 111-x1, 111-x2, 111-x3 are connected to each other to serve as, for example, a gate line, and thus the wiring regions 111-x1, 111-x2, 111-x3 can be regarded as a gate line region GL1, and the drive electrodes in the drive electrode regions 101-1, 101-2, 101-3, 101-4 and the like can be connected to the wirings in the gate line region GL1 to receive a gate signal. That is, the drive electrode regions 100 arranged in the same column along the x direction can be connected to the same gate line region GL, and the gate line region GL can be formed by the plurality of wiring regions 110 arranged in the x direction and connected to each other.
[0073] The wiring region 111-x1 extending from the drive electrode region 101-1 toward the drive electrode region 101-2 has a wiring extension direction making a positive included angle θ x1-1 with the x direction, the wiring region 111-x2 extending from the drive electrode region 101-2 toward the drive electrode region 101-3 has a wiring extension direction making a negative included angle θ x1-2 with the x direction, and the wiring region 111-x3 extending from the drive electrode region 101-3 toward the drive electrode region 101-4 has a wiring extension direction making a positive included angle θ x1-3 with the x direction. In the present specification, the "wiring extension direction" refers to the wiring extension direction of the wiring region located between two drive electrode regions, from the initial drive electrode region toward the next drive electrode region in the arrangement direction before the first bend. Also, the included angle θ x between the wiring extension direction and the x direction is defined as the included angle θ x in the counterclockwise direction of the straight line connecting adjacent drive electrode regions arranged along the x direction, and the included angle θ xThe included angle is negative. That is, the included angle θ is... x The sign of the symbol represents its position relative to the x-direction (the straight line connecting adjacent driving electrode regions), with the included angle θ. x Angle (i.e., included angle θ) x The absolute value of θ represents the degree of offset from the x-direction. Therefore, the angle θ between the trace regions 111-x1, 111-x2, and 111-x3 between adjacent drive electrode regions 101-1, 101-2, 101-3, and 101-4 and the x-direction is... x1-1 θ x1-2 θ x1-3 This setting allows for alternating positive and negative values.
[0074] In some embodiments, the included angle θ x1-1 θ x1-2 θ x1-3 The included angles can range from 5 degrees to 44 degrees, allowing for variability in the size of the light-transmitting openings formed by the wiring area without significantly increasing the resistive and capacitive load of the wiring area 110, while still maintaining good electrical performance. In some embodiments, the included angle θ x1-1 θ x1-2 θ x1-3 The angles (angle magnitudes) are basically the same, meaning that the routing directions of adjacent routing areas 111-x1 and 111-x2 are different, but routing area 111-x1 and routing area 111-x3, which is one routing area apart, have the same trend of routing direction. However, the present invention is not limited thereto; in other embodiments, the included angle θ x1-1 θ x1-2 θ x1-3 The angle can be different. For example, such as FIG. 1D As shown, the included angle θ x1-1 The angle can be smaller than the included angle θ x1-2 The angle, and the included angle θ x1-3 Angle and included angle θ x1-1 The angles are the same, meaning that the angle between the extension direction of the trace area 110 of the gate line region GL1 and the x-direction is θ. x1-1 θ x1-2 Interleaved arrangement. However, the invention is not limited thereto, the included angle θ x1-3 The angle can be related to the included angle θ x1-1 θ x1-2 The angles are different. Furthermore, in other embodiments not shown, the included angle θ... x1-1 The angle can be greater than the included angle θ x1-2 From this perspective, the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0075] On the other hand, the plurality of driving electrode regions 100 includes driving electrode regions 101-1, 102-1, 103-1, 104-1 arranged in sequence along the y direction in the same row, and the plurality of wire regions 110 includes wire regions 111-y1, 111-y2, 111-y3 arranged in the y direction alternately with the driving electrode regions 101-1, 102-1, 103-1, 104-1. That is, the wire region 111-y1 is located between the driving electrode regions 101-1, 102-1, the wire region 111-y2 is located between the driving electrode regions 102-1, 103-1, and the wire region 111-y3 is located between the driving electrode regions 103-1, 104-1. In other words, the wire region 111-y1 and the wire region 111-y2 are located on opposite sides of the straight line connecting the driving electrode regions 101-1, 102-1, 103-1, respectively, and the wire region 111-y2 and the wire region 111-y3 are located on opposite sides of the straight line connecting the driving electrode regions 102-1, 103-1, 104-1, respectively. The wires in the wire regions 111-y1, 111-y2, 111-y3 are connected to each other to serve as, for example, a data line, and thus the wire regions 111-y1, 111-y2, 111-y3 can be regarded as a data line region DL1. The driving electrodes in the driving electrode regions 101-1, 102-1, 103-1, 104-1 and the like related circuit elements can be connected to the wires in the data line region DL1 to receive data signals. That is, the driving electrode regions 100 arranged in the same row along the y direction can be connected to the same data line region DL, and the data line region DL can be formed by the plurality of wire regions 110 arranged in the y direction and connected to each other.
[0076] The wire region 111-y1 extending from the driving electrode region 101-1 toward the driving electrode region 102-1 has a wire extension direction making a negative included angle θ y1-1 with the y direction, the wire region 111-y2 extending from the driving electrode region 102-1 toward the driving electrode region 103-1 has a wire extension direction making a positive included angle θ y1-2 with the y direction, and the wire region 111-y3 extending from the driving electrode region 103-1 toward the driving electrode region 104-1 has a wire extension direction making a negative included angle θ y1-3 with the y direction. In this specification, the included angle θ y between the wire extension direction and the y direction is defined as the included angle θ y in the counterclockwise direction with respect to the straight line connecting adjacent driving electrode regions arranged along the y direction, and the included angle θ y in the clockwise direction with respect to the straight line connecting adjacent driving electrode regions arranged along the y direction. That is, the sign of the included angle θ y indicates the position with respect to the y direction (the straight line connecting the adjacent driving electrode regions), and the angle of the included angle θ y indicates the angle (i.e., the included angle θy The absolute value of θ represents the degree of offset from the y-direction. Therefore, the angle θ between the trace regions 111-y1, 111-y2, and 111-y3 between adjacent drive electrode regions 101-1, 102-1, 103-1, and 104-1 and the y-direction is... y1-1 θ y1-2 θ y1-3 This setting allows for alternating positive and negative values.
[0077] In some embodiments, the included angle θ y1-1 θ y1-2、 θ y1-3 The included angles can range from 5 degrees to 44 degrees, allowing for variability in the size of the light-transmitting openings formed by the wiring area without significantly increasing the resistive and capacitive load of the wiring area 110, while still maintaining good electrical performance. In some embodiments, the included angle θ y1-1 θ y1-2 θ y1-3 The angles (angle magnitudes) are basically the same, meaning that the routing directions of adjacent routing areas 111-y1 and 111-y2 are different, but routing area 111-y1 and routing area 111-y3, which is one routing area apart, have the same trend of routing direction. However, the present invention is not limited thereto; in other embodiments, the included angle θ y1-1 θ y1-2 θ y1-3 The angle can be different. For example, such as FIG. 1D As shown, the included angle θ y1-1 The angle can be smaller than the included angle θ y1-2 The angle, and the included angle θ y1-3 (refer to FIG. 1A The angle and the included angle θ y1-1 The angles are the same, meaning that the angle between the extension direction of the trace in the trace area 110 of the data line area DL1 and the y-direction is θ. y1-1 θ y1-2 Interleaved arrangement. However, the invention is not limited thereto, the included angle θ y1-3 The angle can be related to the included angle θ y1-1 θ y1-2 The angles are different. Furthermore, in other embodiments not shown, the included angle θ... y1-1 The angle can be greater than the included angle θ y1-2 From this perspective, the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0078] In one embodiment, the angle θ between the routing direction of the routing area 110 arranged along the x-direction and the x-direction is... x The angle can be the angle θ between the extension direction of the traces in the trace area 110 arranged along the y direction and the y direction. ythe same. For example, the angle θx1-1 between the wire extending direction of the wire region 111-x1 extending from the driving electrode region 101-1 toward the driving electrode region 101-2 and the x direction is the same as the angle θx1-2 between the wire extending direction of the wire region 111-x2 extending from the driving electrode region 101-1 toward the driving electrode region 101-2 and the x direction x1-1 the same as the angle θy1-1 between the wire extending direction of the wire region 111-y1 extending from the driving electrode region 101-1 toward the driving electrode region 102-1 and the y direction y1-1 the same.
[0079] In one embodiment, two adjacent gate line regions GL are symmetrical to each other, and two adjacent data line regions DL are symmetrical to each other, but the present application is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the gate line region GL1 and the gate line region GL2 are symmetrical to the axis ax1, wherein the gate line region GL1 includes the wire region 111-x1 and the wire region 111-x2, the gate line region GL2 includes the wire region 112-x1 and the wire region 112-x2, the wire region 111-x1 corresponds to the wire region 112-x1, and the wire region 111-x2 corresponds to the wire region 112-x2. That is, the wire region 111-x1 and the wire region 112-x1 are symmetrical to the axis ax1, and the wire region 111-x2 and the wire region 112-x2 are symmetrical to the axis ax1. Similarly, the data line region DL1 and the data line region DL2 are symmetrical to the axis ax2, wherein the data line region DL1 includes the wire region 111-y1, and the data line region DL2 includes the wire region 112-y1. That is, the wire region 111-y1 and the wire region 112-y1 are symmetrical to the axis ax2. FIG. 1B FIG. 1D In other embodiments, two adjacent gate line regions GL can be asymmetrical to each other, such that the angles of the wire extending directions of two adjacent and corresponding wire regions 100 (e.g., the wire region 111-x2 and the wire region 112-x2) located in the adjacent gate line regions GL (e.g., the gate line region GL1 and the gate line region GL2) are different from each other. For example, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 2, the corresponding wire regions 110 of the adjacent gate line regions GL can be symmetrical to each other in a part and asymmetrical to each other in another part. Specifically, the wire region 111-x1 and the corresponding wire region 112-x1 are symmetrical to the axis ax1, and thus the angle θx1-1 is the same as the angle θx1-2. The wire region 111-x2 and the corresponding wire region 112-x2 are not symmetrical to the axis ax1, and thus the angle θx2-1 is greater than the angle θx2-2.
[0080] In other embodiments, two adjacent gate line regions GL can be asymmetrical to each other, such that the angles of the wire extending directions of two adjacent and corresponding wire regions 100 (e.g., the wire region 111-x2 and the wire region 112-x2) located in the adjacent gate line regions GL (e.g., the gate line region GL1 and the gate line region GL2) are different from each other. For example, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 2, the corresponding wire regions 110 of the adjacent gate line regions GL can be symmetrical to each other in a part and asymmetrical to each other in another part. Specifically, the wire region 111-x1 and the corresponding wire region 112-x1 are symmetrical to the axis ax1, and thus the angle θx1-1 is the same as the angle θx1-2. The wire region 111-x2 and the corresponding wire region 112-x2 are not symmetrical to the axis ax1, and thus the angle θx2-1 is greater than the angle θx2-2. FIG. 1E x1-1 x1-2 x1-1 the same. For example, the angle θx1-1 between the wire extending direction of the wire region 111-x1 extending from the driving electrode region 101-1 toward the driving electrode region 101-2 and the x direction is the same as the angle θx1-2 between the wire extending direction of the wire region 111-x2 extending from the driving electrode region 101-1 toward the driving electrode region 101-2 and the x direction x1-1 the same. For example, the angle θx1-1 between the wire extending direction of the wire region 111-x1 extending from the driving electrode region 101-1 toward the driving electrode region 101-2 and the x direction is the same as the angle θx1-2 between the wire extending direction of the wire region 111-x2 extending from the driving electrode region 101-1 toward the driving electrode region 101-2 and the x direction x1-2 the same. For example, the angle θx1-1 between the wire extending direction of the wire region 111-x1 extending from the driving electrode region 101-1 toward the driving electrode region 101-2 and the x direction is the same as the angle θx1-2 between the wire extending direction of the wire region 111-x2 extending from the driving electrode region 101-1 toward the driving electrode region 101-2 and the x direction x1-1 the same. For example, the angle θx1-1 between the wire extending direction of the wire region 111-x1 extending from the driving electrode region 101-1 toward the driving electrode region 101-2 and the x direction is the same as the angle θx1-2 between the wire extending direction of the wire region 111-x2 extending from the driving electrode region 101-1 toward the driving electrode region 101-2 and the x direction
[0081] exist FIG. 1E In the embodiment, the included angle θ x1-1 The angle is less than the included angle θ x1-2 The angle is θx²-2, while the included angle is less than the included angle θ. x1-1 The angle, that is, the included angle θ x1-1 θ x1-2 The included angles θx2-2 are different, but are not intended to limit the invention. In other embodiments, the included angle θ x1-1 The angle can be greater than or equal to the included angle θ x1-2 The angle, or the included angle θx²-2, can be greater than or equal to the included angle θ. x1-1 The angle.
[0082] From another perspective, FIG. 1E Although not shown in the diagram, it should be understood that two adjacent data line areas DL can also be asymmetrical, and the routing direction of each area can be adjusted according to actual needs. In other words, routing area 111-y1 and routing area 112-y1 can be asymmetrical about axis ax2, such that the included angle θ y1-1 The angle is different from the angle between the routing area 112-y1 and the y direction.
[0083] In some embodiments, each routing area 110 may include multiple segments, and adjacent segments may have different extension directions. For example, such as FIG. 1B As shown, the trace area 111-x1 includes a first segment Sx11 and a second segment Sx12 arranged sequentially in the x-direction. The first segment Sx11 and the second segment Sx12 are symmetrical to each other, for example, symmetrical about the axis ax2, but not limited thereto. The first segment Sx11 extends from the driving electrode area 101-1 along the first direction D1, and the second segment Sx12 extends from the end of the first segment Sx11 toward the driving electrode area 101-2 along the second direction D2. The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 intersect each other, and the second direction D2 is more oriented toward the driving electrode area 101-2 than the first direction D1. The first direction D1 is, for example, at a positive angle θ with the x-direction. x1-1 The direction, the second direction D2, for example, forms a negative angle θ' with the x-direction. x1-1 direction, included angle θ x1-1 Angle and included angle θ' x1-1The angles can be the same. In other words, the trace area 111-x1 is connected from the driving electrode area 101-1 to the driving electrode area 101-2 after a bend. Since the trace areas 110 of two adjacent driving electrode areas 100 are not directly connected in a straight line, the size of the light-transmitting opening formed by the trace area can be varied, which helps to disperse the diffraction of high-frequency terms, thereby effectively reducing the diffraction intensity of high-frequency terms and improving the image quality of the display panel 10.
[0084] In some embodiments, the driving electrode region 100 and the wiring region 110 may enclose a plurality of transmittance regions 120, the average visible light transmittance of the transmittance regions 120 being 10% to 99%, while the driving electrode region 100 and the wiring region 110 have an average visible light transmittance of less than 10%. That is, the driving electrode region 100 and the wiring region 110 are non-transmittance regions compared to the transmittance regions 120. In some embodiments, a light-shielding layer (not shown) may be used to cover the edges of the wiring region 110 and / or the driving electrode region 100, so that the average visible light transmittance of the driving electrode region 100 and the wiring region 110 is less than 10%. In some embodiments, the light-shielding layer may be made of a light-shielding material such as a light-shielding resin or metal.
[0085] In some embodiments, two adjacent penetration regions 120 arranged along the arrangement direction have different geometries. For example, such as FIG. 1A , 1B As shown, the penetration area 121-1 enclosed by the driving electrode areas 101-1, 101-2, 102-1, 102-2 and the wiring areas 111-x1, 112-x1, 111-y1, 112-y1 has a shape similar to a convex octagon, while the penetration area 121-2 enclosed by the driving electrode areas 101-2, 101-3, 102-2, 102-3 and the wiring areas 111-x2, 112-x2, 112-y1, 113-y1 has a shape similar to a star. FIG. 1A In this configuration, penetrating regions 120 with a shape resembling a convex octagon and penetrating regions 120 with a shape resembling a star are arranged alternately in the arrangement direction. In other words, two adjacent penetrating regions 120 arranged along the arrangement direction have different geometries, while penetrating regions 120 spaced apart in the arrangement direction may have the same geometries. In some embodiments, two adjacent penetrating regions 120 arranged along the arrangement direction have different areas. For example, the area of penetrating region 121-1 is larger than the area of penetrating region 121-2.
[0086] For ease of illustration, FIG. 1A , 1B The layout of each wiring zone is only shown schematically. However, it should be understood that multiple wirings can be installed in each wiring zone 110, such as... FIG. 1CIn addition, the plurality of traces in each trace region can be arranged side by side in the same film layer or in different film layers and can be arranged possibly overlapping each other. The plurality of traces can be arranged concentratedly in each trace region 110, which can help to reduce the intensity of the first-order diffraction caused by the trace layout and to improve the average visible light transmittance of the penetration region 120.
[0087] In some embodiments, the plurality of traces can be arranged in the same gate line region GL and extend across and overlap the driving electrode region 100 corresponding to the same gate line region GL. In addition, the traces in the corresponding sections of the two trace regions 110 adjacent to both sides of the same driving electrode region 100 can have the same extension direction and be on the same line. For example, as shown in FIG. 1C, the traces x1 in the second section of the trace region 112-x1 and the traces x2 in the first section of the trace region 112-x2 are adjacent to the two sections of the driving electrode region 102-2. The extension direction of the traces x1 in the second section of the trace region 112-x1 is the same as the extension direction of the traces x2 in the first section of the trace region 112-x2 and is on the same line. In some embodiments, the traces x1 and the traces x2 can extend towards the corresponding driving electrode region 102-2 and connect to each other to form a continuous signal line (e.g., a gate line). The elements in the driving electrode region 102-2 and the signal line can be located in different layers according to the circuit connection requirements to avoid unnecessary short circuit. FIG. 1C
[0088] Similarly, the plurality of traces can be arranged in the same data line region DL and extend across and overlap the driving electrode region 100 corresponding to the same data line region DL. In addition, the traces in the corresponding sections of the two trace regions 110 adjacent to both sides of the same data line region DL have the same extension direction and are on the same line. For example, as shown in FIG. 1D, the traces y1 in the second section of the trace region 112-y1 and the traces y2 in the first section of the trace region 112-y2 are adjacent to the two sections of the driving electrode region 102-2. The extension direction of the traces y1 in the second section of the trace region 112-y1 is the same as the extension direction of the traces y2 in the first section of the trace region 112-y2 and is on the same line. In some embodiments, the traces y1 and the traces y2 can extend towards the corresponding driving electrode region 102-2 and connect to each other to form a continuous signal line (e.g., a data line). The elements in the driving electrode region 102-2 and the data line can be located in different layers according to the circuit connection requirements to avoid unnecessary short circuit. FIG. 1C In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1E, the plurality of traces in the same trace region 110 can extend across and overlap the driving electrode region 100 corresponding to the same driving electrode region 100. In addition, the traces in the corresponding sections of the two trace regions 110 adjacent to both sides of the same driving electrode region 100 have the same extension direction and are on the same line. For example, as shown in FIG. 1E, the traces x1 in the second section of the trace region 112-x1 and the traces x2 in the first section of the trace region 112-x2 are adjacent to the two sections of the driving electrode region 102-2. The extension direction of the traces x1 in the second section of the trace region 112-x1 is the same as the extension direction of the traces x2 in the first section of the trace region 112-x2 and is on the same line. In some embodiments, the traces x1 and the traces x2 can extend towards the corresponding driving electrode region 102-2 and connect to each other to form a continuous signal line (e.g., a gate line). The elements in the driving electrode region 102-2 and the signal line can be located in different layers according to the circuit connection requirements to avoid unnecessary short circuit.
[0089] FIG. 1C As shown, the projection of the driving electrode region 100 in the z-direction partially overlaps with the projection of the trace in the trace region 110 in the z-direction to expand the range of the penetration region 120, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the projection of the driving electrode region 100 in the z-direction and the projection of the trace in the trace region 110 in the z-direction may not overlap.
[0090] exist FIG. 1C In the present invention, the shape of the driving electrode area 100 is approximately L-shaped. It should be understood that the shape of the driving electrode area 100 is not limited to this. Depending on the display panel, the driving electrode area 100 may be of other geometric shapes, such as rectangular, circular, trapezoidal or other arbitrary geometric shapes.
[0091] Please refer to FIG. 1C The display panel 10 may be a micro-light-emitting diode (LED) display panel, which also includes a plurality of pixel units PX1. The pixel units PX1 are respectively disposed in the driving electrode region 100, and each pixel unit PX1 may include a pixel circuit element 130 and a plurality of light-emitting units 140. For example, the pixel circuit element 130 may include a thin-film transistor, adapted to drive the plurality of light-emitting units 140. The plurality of light-emitting units 140 may include three micro-light-emitting diodes 142, 144, and 146 to emit light of different colors. For example, the micro-light-emitting diodes 142, 144, and 146 may emit blue, green, and red light, respectively, but the invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the pixel circuit element 130 may include three pixel circuit units 132, 134, and 136 to drive the micro-light-emitting diodes 142, 144, and 146, respectively, but the invention is not limited thereto. Micro-LEDs 142 and 144 can be arranged in the y-direction, and micro-LED 146 is located to one side of micro-LED 144 and arranged with it in the x-direction, but they can also be arranged in different ways depending on the design. In other embodiments, micro-LEDs 142, 144, and 146 can all be arranged in either the x-direction or the y-direction, making the shape of the driving electrode region 100 rectangular. Micro-LEDs 142, 144, and 146 have self-emissive characteristics and do not require an additional light source, and can receive the electrical signals and power required for light emission through the corresponding traces in the data line region DL2.
[0092] FIG. 2A This is a top view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2B yes FIG. 2A This is a magnified top view of area R3 of the display panel. It must be noted here that... FIG. 2A , 2B The embodiments follow FIG. 1A , 1BThe element numbers and parts of the embodiments are partially the same as those of the foregoing embodiments, in which the same or similar numbers are used to represent the same or similar elements, and the description of the same technical content is omitted. The description of the omitted parts can refer to the foregoing embodiments, which will not be described here.
[0093] Please refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B , the display panel 20 includes a plurality of driving electrode regions 100 and a plurality of wire regions 210, the plurality of wire regions 210 are connected between the driving electrode regions 100. The driving electrode regions 100 can be sequentially arranged along an arrangement direction to form a periodic array, the arrangement direction can be, for example, the x direction or the y direction perpendicular to the x direction. The 2n-1th wire region 210 extending from the 2n-1th driving electrode region 100 towards the 2nth driving electrode region 100 has a wire extension direction making a positive angle with the arrangement direction, and the 2nth wire region 210 extending from the 2nth driving electrode region 100 towards the 2n+1th driving electrode region 100 has a wire extension direction making a negative angle with the arrangement direction, where n is a positive integer. For example, the angles θa x1-1 , θa x1-2 , θa x1-3 of the wire regions 211-x1, 211-x2, 211-x3 between the adjacent driving electrode regions 101-1, 101-2, 101-3, 101-4 and the x direction are alternately positive and negative. y1-1 , θa y1-2 , θa y1-3 of the wire regions 211-y1, 211-y2, 211-y3 between the adjacent driving electrode regions 101-1, 102-1, 103-1, 104-1 and the y direction are alternately positive and negative.
[0094] Unlike the display panel 10, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B , each wire region 210 includes three segments with different extension directions. For example, the wire region 211-x1 includes a first segment Sa1, a second segment Sa2 and a third segment Sa3 sequentially arranged in the x direction. The first segment Sa1 extends from the driving electrode region 101-1 along a first direction D1', the second segment Sa2 extends from the end of the first segment Sa1 along a second direction D2', and the third segment Sa3 extends from the end of the second segment Sa2 towards the driving electrode region 101-2 along a third direction D3'. The first direction D1', the second direction D2' and the third direction D3' are different directions and intersect with each other. The second direction D2' is a direction more towards the driving electrode region 101-2 than the first direction D1', and the third direction D3' is a direction more towards the driving electrode region 101-2 than the second direction D2'. For example, the first direction D1' is a direction making a positive angle θa x1-1The second direction D2' is parallel to the x-direction, and the third direction D3' is at a negative angle θa' to the x-direction. x1-1 The direction, where the included angle θa x1-1 Angle and included angle θa' x1-1 The angles can be the same. In other words, the trace area 211-x1 is connected to the driving electrode area 101-2 after two bends. Since the trace areas 210 of two adjacent driving electrode areas 100 are not directly connected in a straight line, the size of the light-transmitting opening formed by the trace area can be varied, which helps to disperse the diffraction of high-frequency terms, thereby effectively reducing the diffraction intensity of high-frequency terms and improving the image quality of the display panel 20.
[0095] In this embodiment, the driving electrode region 100 and the wiring region 210 can enclose multiple penetration regions 220. Adjacent penetration regions 220 arranged along the arrangement direction have different geometric shapes, and their areas are also different. For example, such as... FIG. 2A , 2B As shown, the penetration region 221-1, enclosed by the driving electrode regions 101-1, 101-2, 102-1, 102-2 and the wiring regions 211-x1, 212-x1, 211-y1, 212-y1, has a convex polygonal shape, while the penetration region 221-2, enclosed by the driving electrode regions 101-2, 101-3, 102-2, 102-3 and the wiring regions 211-x2, 212-x2, 212-y1, 213-y1, has a concave polygonal shape. Penetration regions 220 with the same shape as penetration region 221-1 and penetration regions 221-2 are arranged alternately in the arrangement direction, and the area of penetration region 221-1 is larger than the area of penetration region 221-2.

FIG. 3 The embodiments follow FIG. 1A The component reference numerals and partial contents of the embodiments are described below, wherein the same or similar reference numerals are used to represent the same or similar components, and descriptions of the same technical content are omitted. For explanations of the omitted parts, please refer to the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
[0097] Please refer to FIG. 3The display panel 30 includes a plurality of driving electrode regions 100 and a plurality of trace regions 310 connected between the driving electrode regions 100. The driving electrode regions 100 can be arranged in sequence along an arrangement direction to form a periodic array. The arrangement direction can be, for example, an x direction or a y direction perpendicular to the x direction. The 2n-1th trace region 310 extending from the 2n-1th driving electrode region 100 toward the 2nth driving electrode region 100 has a trace extension direction making a positive angle with the arrangement direction, and the 2nth trace region 310 extending from the 2nth driving electrode region 100 toward the 2n+1th driving electrode region 100 has a trace extension direction making a negative angle with the arrangement direction, where n is a positive integer. For example, the angles θb x1-1 , θb x1-2 , θb x1-3 are alternately positive and negative. The angles θb y1-1 , θb y1-2 , θb y1-3 are alternately positive and negative.
[0098] Unlike the display panel 10, in the present embodiment, each trace region 310 includes an infinite number of segments (not shown) having different extension directions, that is, the trace region 310 is connected from the driving electrode region 101-1 to the driving electrode region 101-2 after being bent an infinite number of times. Because each trace region 310 includes an infinite number of segments having different extension directions, each trace region 310 has an arc shape. In some embodiments, the trace regions 310 between the driving electrode regions 101-1, 102-1, 101-2, 102-2 can extend along a circular trajectory, but in some embodiments, these trace regions 310 can have different centers of curvature. Because the trace regions 310 of two adjacent driving electrode regions 100 do not directly connect the adjacent driving electrode regions 100 in a straight line, the size of the light transmission opening formed by the trace regions can be varied, which helps to disperse the diffraction of high-frequency terms, thereby effectively reducing the diffraction intensity of the high-frequency terms and improving the image quality of the display panel 30.
[0099] In the present embodiment, the driving electrode regions 100 and the trace regions 310 can enclose a plurality of penetration regions 320. Adjacent two penetration regions 320 arranged along the arrangement direction of the driving electrode regions 100 have different geometric shapes and different areas. For example, as shown in FIG. 1B, the penetration regions 320 arranged along the x direction have different geometric shapes and different areas. FIG. 3The penetration regions 320 having the same shape as the penetration regions 321-1 and the penetration regions 320 having the same shape as the penetration regions 321-2 are staggered in the arrangement direction, and the area of the penetration regions 321-1 is larger than the area of the penetration regions 321-2.

For example, the included angle θ x1-1 x1-2 x1-3 is alternately positive and negative. The included angle θ y1-1 y1-2 y1-3 of the wire regions 111-y1, 111-y2, 111-y3 between the adjacent driving electrode regions 401-1, 402-1, 403-1, 404-1 and the y direction is alternately positive and negative.

The plurality of light-emitting units 440 can include three organic light-emitting diodes 442, 444, 446 to emit light of different colors, for example, the organic light-emitting diodes 442, 444, 446 can respectively emit red, green, and blue light, but the present application is not limited thereto. The light-emitting areas of the organic light-emitting diodes 442, 444, 446 can be adjusted according to the required light-emitting effect. For example, the organic light-emitting diode 446 can have a larger light-emitting area than the organic light-emitting diodes 442 and 444, but the present application is not limited thereto. In the present embodiment, the organic light-emitting diodes 442 and 444 are arranged along the y direction and are located on the same side of the organic light-emitting diode 446, but the arrangement manner and the number of the organic light-emitting diodes 442, 444, 446 are not limited to the present embodiment.

The driving electrode regions 500 can be sequentially arranged along an arrangement direction to form a periodic array. The arrangement direction can be, for example, an x direction or a y direction perpendicular to the x direction.

[0106] Unlike the display panel 10, in the present embodiment, each driving electrode region 500 includes separate sub-driving electrode regions. For example, the driving electrode region 502-2 includes a sub-driving electrode region 502-2a and a sub-driving electrode region 502-2b. The pixel units arranged in the driving electrode region 502-2 can include micro light emitting diodes 142, 144 and 146. The micro light emitting diodes 142, 144 can be arranged in the sub-driving electrode region 502-2a, and the micro light emitting diode 146 can be arranged in the sub-driving electrode region 502-2b, but the present application is not limited thereto.
[0107] In the present embodiment, the display panel 50 further includes intermediate wire regions m1 and m2 connected between adjacent wire regions 510 and arranged side by side with the driving electrode regions 500. The intermediate wire regions m1 and m2 can extend along the x direction or the y direction, but the present application is not limited thereto. In detail, a plurality of wires can be arranged in the same gate line region GL, and the wires in the corresponding sections of the two wire regions 510 adjacent to the same driving electrode region 500 can have the same extension direction but not on the same line. The intermediate wires of the intermediate wire region m1 can connect the wires in the corresponding sections of the two wire regions 510 adjacent to the same driving electrode region 500 and are arranged side by side on one side of the driving electrode region 500 but do not overlap the driving electrode region 500.
[0108] For example, such as FIG. 5B As shown, in the gate line region GL2, the second segment located in the trace region 512-x1 and the first segment located in the trace region 512-x2 are two segments adjacent to the drive electrode region 502-2. The extension direction of trace x1' in the second segment of the trace region 512-x1 is the same as the extension direction of trace x2' in the first segment of the trace region 512-x2, but they are not on the same line. The intermediate trace Sh of the intermediate trace region m1 is a trace extending along the x-direction, which connects trace x1' and trace x2' to form a continuous signal line (e.g., a gate line). In other words, the gate line region GL2 may include trace regions 512-x1, 512-x2 and the intermediate trace region m1 connected between trace regions 512-x1 and 512-x2. The intermediate trace Sh is arranged below the sub-driving electrode regions 502-2a and 502-2b, and does not overlap with the sub-driving electrode regions 502-2a and 502-2b.
[0109] Similarly, multiple traces can be set in the same data line area DL. The corresponding segments of two trace areas 510 adjacent to each other on both sides of the same data line area DL have the same extension direction but are not on the same line. The middle trace of the middle trace area m2 can connect the traces in the corresponding segments of the two trace areas 510 adjacent to each other on both sides of the same drive electrode area 500, and arrange them on one side of the drive electrode area 500 but without overlapping the drive electrode area 500.
[0110] For example, such as FIG. 5BAs shown, in the data line region DL2, the second section in the trace region 512-y1 and the first section in the trace region 512-y2 are two sections adjacent to the driving electrode region 502-2. The extension direction of the trace y1' in the second section in the trace region 512-y1 is the same as the extension direction of the trace y2' in the first section in the trace region 512-y2 but not in the same line. The intermediate trace Sv in the intermediate trace region m2 is a trace extending along the y direction, which connects the trace y1' and the trace y2' to form a continuous signal line (e.g., a data line). In other words, the data line region DL2 can include the trace region 512-y1, the trace region 512-y2, and the intermediate trace region m2 connected between the trace region 512-y1 and the trace region 512-y2. The intermediate trace Sv is arranged between the sub driving electrode region 502-2a and the sub driving electrode region 502-2b and does not overlap the sub driving electrode region 502-2a and the sub driving electrode region 502-2b. In this embodiment, the projection of the driving electrode region 500 in the z direction does not overlap the projection of the trace in the z direction. For example, the sub driving electrode region 502-2a and the sub driving electrode region 502-2b are separated by the data line region DL2, the lower side edge of the sub driving electrode region 502-2a can be close to the upper side edge of the intermediate trace region m1, the right side edge of the sub driving electrode region 502-2a can be close to the left side edge of the intermediate trace region m2, and the lower side edge of the sub driving electrode region 502-2b can be close to the upper side edge of the intermediate trace region m1, and the left side edge of the sub driving electrode region 502-2b can be close to the right side edge of the intermediate trace region m2.
[0111] In this embodiment, the driving electrode region 500 and the trace region 510 can enclose a plurality of penetrating regions 520, and adjacent two penetrating regions 520 arranged along the arrangement direction of the driving electrode region 500 have different geometric shapes and different areas. For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, the penetrating region 521-1 and the penetrating region 521-2 have different geometric shapes and different areas. FIG. 5A As shown, the penetrating region 520 with the same shape as the penetrating region 521-1 and the penetrating region 520 with the same shape as the penetrating region 521-2 are staggered arranged along the arrangement direction, and the area of the penetrating region 521-1 is greater than the area of the penetrating region 521-2.

[0113] Please refer to FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B , the display panel 60 includes a plurality of driving electrode regions 600 and a plurality of wire regions 610, the plurality of wire regions 610 are connected between the driving electrode regions 600. The driving electrode regions 600 can be sequentially arranged along an arrangement direction to form a periodic array, the arrangement direction can be, for example, an x direction or a y direction perpendicular to the x direction. The 2n-1th wire region 610 extending from the 2n-1th driving electrode region 600 towards the 2nth driving electrode region 600 has a wire extension direction making a positive included angle with the arrangement direction, and the 2nth wire region 610 extending from the 2nth driving electrode region 600 towards the 2n+1th driving electrode region 600 has a wire extension direction making a negative included angle with the arrangement direction, where n is a positive integer. For example, the included angle θd x1-1 , θd x1-2 , θd x1-3 of the wire regions 611-x1, 611-x2, 611-x3 between the adjacent driving electrode regions 601-1, 601-2, 601-3, 601-4 and the x direction are alternately positive and negative. The included angle θd y1-1 , θd y1-2 , θd y1-3 of the wire regions 611-y1, 611-y2, 611-y3 between the adjacent driving electrode regions 601-1, 602-1, 603-1, 604-1 and the y direction are alternately positive and negative.
[0114] Unlike the display panel 10, in the present embodiment, a plurality of wires can be arranged in the same gate line region GL, the wires in the corresponding sections of the two wire regions 610 adjacent to both sides of the same driving electrode region 600 can have the same extension direction but not on the same line. The middle wire of the middle wire region m1' can connect the wires in the corresponding sections of the two wire regions 610 adjacent to both sides of the same driving electrode region 600, and is arranged on one side of the driving electrode region 600 but does not overlap the driving electrode region 600.
[0115] For example, as FIG. 6BAs shown, in the gate line region GL2, the second segment located in the trace region 612-x1 and the first segment located in the trace region 612-x2 are two segments adjacent to the drive electrode region 602-2. The extension direction of trace x1” in the second segment of the trace region 612-x1 and the extension direction of trace x2” in the first segment of the trace region 612-x2 may be approximately the same, but not on the same line. The intermediate trace Sh’ of the intermediate trace region m1’ is a trace extending along the x-direction, which connects trace x1” and trace x2” to form a continuous signal line (e.g., a gate line). In other words, the gate line region GL2 may include trace regions 612-x1, 612-x2 and the intermediate trace region m1’ connecting trace regions 612-x1 and 612-x2. The intermediate trace Sh’ is arranged on the lower side of the drive electrode region 602-2 and does not overlap the drive electrode region 602-2.
[0116] Similarly, multiple traces can be set in the same data line area DL. The corresponding segments of two trace areas 610 on both sides of the same data line area DL have the same extension direction but are not on the same line. The middle trace of the middle trace area m2' can connect the traces in the corresponding segments of the two trace areas 610 on both sides of the same drive electrode area 600, and arrange them on one side of the drive electrode area 600 but without overlapping the drive electrode area 600.
[0117] For example, such as FIG. 6B As shown, in the data line area DL2, the second segment located in the trace area 612-y1 and the first segment located in the trace area 612-y2 are two segments adjacent to the drive electrode area 602-2. The extension direction of trace y1” in the second segment of the trace area 612-y1 is the same as the extension direction of trace y2” in the first segment of the trace area 612-y2, but they are not on the same line. The intermediate trace Sy’ of the intermediate trace area m2’ is a trace extending along the y direction, which connects trace y1” and trace y2” to form a continuous signal line (e.g., a data line). In other words, the data line area DL2 may include trace areas 612-y1, 612-y2 and the intermediate trace area m2’ connecting trace areas 612-y1 and 612-y2. The intermediate trace Sv’ is arranged on the left side of the drive electrode area 602-2 and does not overlap the drive electrode area 602-2.
[0118] In this embodiment, the projection of the driving electrode region 600 in the z-direction does not overlap with the projection of the trace in the z-direction of the trace in the trace region 610. For example, the lower edge of the driving electrode region 602-2 may be close to the upper edge of the intermediate trace region m1', and the left edge of the driving electrode region 602-2 may be close to the right edge of the intermediate trace region m2'.
[0119] In the embodiment, the display panel 60 can be implemented by sandwiching a display medium between two substrates, but the two substrates and the display medium are stacked in the Z direction, so the two substrates and the display medium are not shown in the figure. In some embodiments, the display panel 60 further includes a pixel unit PX6, and the pixel unit PX6 includes a pixel circuit element 630 and a corresponding plurality of pixel electrodes 640 (for example, pixel electrodes 642, 644, 646). In some embodiments, the display medium of the display panel 60 is, for example, a liquid crystal material, which is driven by the pixel unit PX6 to realize the function of display. The pixel unit PX6 can be arranged in the driving electrode area 600, and the shape of the driving electrode area 600 is, for example, a rectangle, but is not limited thereto. The pixel circuit element 630 is, for example, a thin film transistor and is electrically connected to the corresponding plurality of pixel electrodes 640.
[0120] In the embodiment, the driving electrode area 600 and the wiring area 610 can enclose a plurality of penetration areas 620, and adjacent two penetration areas 620 arranged along the arrangement direction of the driving electrode area 600 have different geometric shapes and different areas. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the penetration areas 620 with the same shape as the penetration area 621-1 and the penetration areas 620 with the same shape as the penetration area 621-2 are arranged alternately in the arrangement direction, and the area of the penetration area 621-1 is larger than the area of the penetration area 621-2. FIG. 6A
[0121] In summary, the display panel of the present application sets the angle between the extension direction of the wiring of the wiring area between adjacent driving electrode areas and the arrangement direction of the wiring area to be positive and negative alternately in the arrangement direction, which can effectively reduce the diffraction intensity of the first-order diffraction and high-frequency terms, and further improve the image quality of the display panel.
[0122] Of course, the present application can have other various embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications according to the present application without departing from the spirit and essence of the present application, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all belong to the protection scope of the claims attached to the present application.
