[0035] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the display panel 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application includes a display area AA, a first light-transmitting area 120 and a second light-transmitting area 130; the display area AA includes a pixel area 110, and the pixel area 110 includes a light-emitting element 200; the area of the first light-transmitting area 120 is S1, and the area of the second light-transmitting area 130 is S2; wherein |S1-S2|>0.
[0036] In the display panel 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application, the display area AA of the display panel 10 is provided with the pixel area 110, and the light-emitting element 200 of the pixel area 110 is used to realize the light-emitting display of the display panel 10. The display panel 10 further includes the first light-transmitting area 120 and the second light-transmitting area 130, and the light-transmitting area S1 of the first light-transmitting area 120 and the light-transmitting area S2 of the second light-transmitting area 130 are different, that is, the display panel 10 includes at least two light-transmitting areas with different light-transmitting areas. By reasonably setting the positions of the light-transmitting areas with different areas, the transparent display panel 10 can be further designed according to different application situations or different needs, thereby meeting different use requirements of users.
[0037] Optionally, the light-emitting element 200 of the pixel area 110 can be selected from at least one of an organic light-emitting diode, a micro light-emitting diode and a liquid crystal light-emitting unit.
[0038] As Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the embodiment of the present application takes the light emitting element 200 as a micro light emitting diode as an example for illustration. Optionally, the light emitting element 200 at least includes a first electrode 21a, a first semiconductor 21b, a light emitting part 21c, a second semiconductor part 21d, and a second electrode 21e.
[0039] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 2B, the light emitting element 200 is a flip chip micro light emitting diode. The light emitting part 21c is located between the first semiconductor 21b and the second semiconductor part 21d, and the first electrode 21a and the second electrode 21e are located on the same side of the light emitting part 21c. Figure 3
[0040] Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2C, the light emitting element 200 is a vertical micro light emitting diode. The light emitting part 21c is located between the first semiconductor 21b and the second semiconductor part 21d, and the first electrode 21a and the second electrode 21e are located on different sides of the light emitting part 21c. The first electrode 21a is located on the side of the first semiconductor 21b away from the light emitting part 21c, and the second electrode 21e is located on the side of the second semiconductor part 21d away from the light emitting part 21c. Figure 4
[0041] In other embodiments, the light emitting element 200 can also be a horizontal micro light emitting diode, that is, the first electrode 21a, the first semiconductor 21b, the light emitting part 21c, the second semiconductor part 21d, and the second electrode 21e of the light emitting element 200 are stacked in a direction parallel to the light emitting surface of the display panel.
[0042] Optionally, the material of the first semiconductor 21b can be a P-type semiconductor material, such as P-type gallium nitride, and the material of the second semiconductor part 21d is an N-type semiconductor material, such as N-type gallium nitride. Since the P-type semiconductor material relies on hole conduction, a positive voltage needs to be applied, that is, the first electrode 21a located on the side of the first semiconductor 21b away from the light emitting part 21c can be a positive electrode at this time. The N-type semiconductor material relies on electron conduction, and a negative voltage needs to be applied, that is, the second electrode 21e located on the side of the second semiconductor part 21d away from the light emitting part 21c can be a negative electrode at this time. The light emitting part 21c can be a multi-quantum well layer, and holes and electrons combine in the light emitting part 21c to make the micro light emitting diode emit light. It can be understood that the present embodiment is only an example of the electrode type and semiconductor material of the first electrode 21a, the first semiconductor 21b, the second semiconductor part 21d, and the second electrode 21e. When the material of the first semiconductor 21b can be an N-type semiconductor material, the types of the remaining structures can be selectively changed during specific implementation.
[0043] Optionally, the display panel 10 can further include a thin film transistor disposed in the pixel region 110, so that the thin film transistor T drives the light emitting element 200 to emit light. The first light transmission region 120 and the second light transmission region 130 have a relatively large light transmission rate, so as to be capable of disposing a light sensing element at the position, or so as to enable the display panel to realize a transparent display function. The first light transmission region 120 and the second light transmission region 130 can be in a rectangular shape as shown in the figure, or can be in a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or other regular or irregular shapes. Figure 2
[0044] Optionally, the display panel 10 can further include a thin film transistor disposed in the pixel region 110, so that the thin film transistor T drives the light emitting element 200 to emit light. The first light transmission region 120 and the second light transmission region 130 have a relatively large light transmission rate, so as to be capable of disposing a light sensing element at the position, or so as to enable the display panel to realize a transparent display function. The first light transmission region 120 and the second light transmission region 130 can be in a rectangular shape as shown in the figure, or can be in a circular shape, an elliptical shape, or other regular or irregular shapes. Figure 2 For example, the first light transmission region 120 and the second light transmission region 130 are located in the display region AA. In other optional embodiments, the display panel 10 further includes a non-display region NA disposed around the display region AA, and the first light transmission region 120 and the second light transmission region 130 can both be located in the non-display region NA, or one of the first light transmission region 120 and the second light transmission region 130 is located in the display region AA, and the other is located in the non-display region NA.
[0045] Optionally, the display panel 10 further includes a non-display region NA, which can be disposed around the display region AA, i.e., the non-display region NA can be a frame region of the display panel 10; or the display region AA can be disposed around the non-display region NA, for example, the non-display region NA can be a light transmission hole region of the display panel 10, so that the light sensing element obtains ambient light information through the light transmission hole region. Embodiments of the present application take the non-display region NA as the frame region of the display panel 10 for example.
[0046] In still other embodiments, the display panel 10 can be a full-screen display panel 10, and the display panel 10 can not include a non-display region NA, and in this case, the first light transmission region 120 and the second light transmission region 130 are located in the display region AA. Embodiments of the present application take the display panel 10 including the display region AA and the non-display region NA for example.
[0047] Optionally, no light emitting element 200 is disposed in the first light transmission region 120 and the second light transmission region 130, i.e., the first light transmission region 120 and the second light transmission region 130 are light-transmissive and non-displayable, so as to ensure that the first light transmission region 120 and the second light transmission region 130 have a relatively good light transmission rate. Optionally, no signal line and thin film transistor T and the like are disposed in the first light transmission region 120 and the second light transmission region 130, so as to improve the light transmission rate of the first light transmission region 120 and the second light transmission region 130.
[0048] In some optional embodiments, the transmittance of the first light-transmissive region 120 and / or the second light-transmissive region 130 is greater than the transmittance of the pixel region 110. The first light-transmissive region 120 and / or the second light-transmissive region 130 can improve the overall transmittance of the display panel 10. The smaller transmittance of the pixel region 110 can improve the influence of ambient light on the display effect when the ambient light transmits through the display panel 10, and improve the display effect of the display panel 10. The transmittance here refers to the transmittance of light.
[0049] In some optional embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first light-transmissive region 120 and the second light-transmissive region 130 are located in the display region AA; the display region AA further includes a wiring region 140; the first light-transmissive region 120 and the second light-transmissive region 130 are respectively located on both sides of the pixel region 110 or the wiring region 140.
[0050] In these optional embodiments, the first light-transmissive region 120 and the second light-transmissive region 130 are located in the display region AA to improve the light transmittance and light transmittance uniformity of the display region AA, and the first light-transmissive region 120 and the second light-transmissive region 130 are respectively located on both sides of the pixel region 110 or the wiring region 140 to improve the influence of the first light-transmissive region 120 and the second light-transmissive region 130 on the wirings in the wiring region 140 or the light-emitting elements 200 in the pixel region 110.
[0051] Optionally, the wiring region 140 can be used to set data signal lines 210, scanning signal lines and other signal wirings. Optionally, the transmittance of the wiring region 140 is less than the transmittance of the first light-transmissive region 120 and the second light-transmissive region 130.
[0052] Optionally, the first light-transmissive region 120 and the second light-transmissive region 130 can be located on both sides of the wiring region 140, and / or the first light-transmissive region 120 and the second light-transmissive region 130 can be located on both sides of the pixel region 110.
[0053] In some optional embodiments, the pixel region 110 includes a first pixel region 111, the first pixel region 111 includes a first sub-pixel 11, a second sub-pixel 12 and a third sub-pixel 13; the first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12 correspond to the first light-transmissive region 120, and the third sub-pixel 13 corresponds to the second light-transmissive region 130; wherein S1>S2.
[0054] In the optional embodiments, the first pixel region 111 includes a first sub-pixel 11, a second sub-pixel 12 and a third sub-pixel 13, which can be used to emit light of different colors to realize the light-emitting display of the display panel 10. The first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12 correspond to the first light-transmitting region 120, for example, the first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12 are arranged side by side with the first light-transmitting region 120, and the third sub-pixel 13 is arranged side by side with the second light-transmitting region 130. That is, the first light-transmitting region 120 and two sub-pixels are arranged side by side, and the second light-transmitting region 130 and one sub-pixel are arranged side by side, so that the setting area S1 of the first light-transmitting region 120 can be greater than the setting area S2 of the second light-transmitting region 130. No wiring region 140 is arranged between the first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12, and the wiring region 140 is located on the side of the first sub-pixel 11 away from the second sub-pixel 12 or the wiring region 140 is located on the side of the second sub-pixel 12 away from the first sub-pixel 11, so that the first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12 correspond to form a larger first light-transmitting region 120. In addition, by arranging the first light-transmitting region 120 and the second light-transmitting region 130 to correspond to different sub-pixels, the first pixel region 111 is designed to be segmented, which facilitates wiring in the first pixel region 111, reduces the distance between the wiring and different sub-pixels in the first pixel region 111, and also makes the setting positions of the first light-transmitting region 120 and the second light-transmitting region 130 flexible, so that the areas of the first light-transmitting region 120 and the second light-transmitting region 130 are different, and the transparent display panel 10 can be further designed according to different application scenarios or different needs.
[0055] Optionally, the first sub-pixel 11, the second sub-pixel 12 and the third sub-pixel 13 are used to emit light of different colors, and the first sub-pixel 11, the second sub-pixel 12 and the third sub-pixel 13 can be used to form a pixel unit for emitting white light. For example, the first sub-pixel 11 is a red sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel 12 is a blue sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel 13 is a green sub-pixel. Optionally, the first sub-pixel 11, the second sub-pixel 12 and the third sub-pixel 13 are a pixel repeating unit, and a plurality of pixel repeating units are arranged in rows and columns to form a pixel arrangement structure of the display panel 10, and the first pixel region 111 includes a plurality of sub-pixels in a pixel repeating unit.
[0056] Optionally, the first sub-pixel 11, the second sub-pixel 12 and the third sub-pixel 13 can be arranged in rows and columns along the first direction X and the second direction Y. For example, the first sub-pixel 11, the second sub-pixel 12 and the third sub-pixel 13 are arranged in sequence along the first direction X and located in the same row, and a plurality of first pixel regions 111 are arranged along the first direction X to form a pixel row.
[0057] The first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12 corresponding to the first light-transmitting area 120 can be that the first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12 are arranged side by side along the second direction Y with the first light-transmitting area 120. Optionally, the extension length of the first light-transmitting area 120 in the first direction X can be less than or equal to the extension length of the first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12 in the first direction X. So that the first light-transmitting area 120 will not affect the step of connecting the signal lines for connecting the first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12.
[0058] Similarly, the third sub-pixel 13 corresponding to the second light-transmitting area 130 can be that the third sub-pixel 13 is arranged side by side along the second direction Y with the second light-transmitting area 130. Optionally, the extension length of the second light-transmitting area 130 in the first direction X can be less than or equal to the extension length of the third sub-pixel 13 in the second direction Y.

[0060] In these optional embodiments, the wiring area 140 is divided into a first wiring area 141 and a second wiring area 142, and the data signal lines 210 connecting the first sub-pixel 11, the second sub-pixel 12 and the third sub-pixel 13 can be located in the first wiring area 141 and the second wiring area 142. The first light-transmitting area 120 and the second light-transmitting area 130 are located on both sides of the second wiring area 142, and the number of data signal lines 210 in the second wiring area 142 is large, so that the data signal lines 210 in the second wiring area 142 can respectively connect the sub-pixels located on both sides of the second wiring area 142.

The data signal line 210 in the first wiring area 141 can be used to connect the first sub-pixel 11. On the basis of dividing the wiring area 140 into the first wiring area 141 and the second wiring area 142, by reasonably setting the number of the data signal lines 210 in different wiring areas 140 and the positional relationship between the data signal lines 210 and different sub-pixels in the wiring area 140, the distance between the data signal line 210 and the sub-pixel connected thereto can be reduced. Optionally, the first wiring area 141 and the second wiring area 142 can be arranged in extension along the second direction Y, the first wiring area 141 is located on the side of the first sub-pixel 11 away from the second sub-pixel 12, and the second wiring area 142 is located between the second sub-pixel 12 and the third sub-pixel 13, so as to facilitate the mutual connection between the data signal line 210 in the first wiring area 141 and the first sub-pixel 11, the connection between the data signal line 210 in the second wiring area 142 and the second sub-pixel 12 and the third sub-pixel 13, and to reduce the distance between the data signal line 210 and the sub-pixel adjacent thereto, reduce the extension length of the data signal line 210, reduce the distribution area of the data signal line 210, and further improve the light transmittance of the display panel 10.

Figure 6 Two different sizes of via holes h are shown in FIG. 1 . The embodiment of the present application does not limit the size of the via holes h, as long as the via holes can be connected between different film layers.

The first film layer 20 includes a first opening 21 located at the first light transmission region 120 and a second opening 22 located at the second light transmission region 130. By providing the first opening 21 and the second opening 22, the transmittance of the first light transmission region 120 and the second light transmission region 130 can be improved.
[0091] Optionally, the first opening 21 and / or the second opening 22 is filled with a transparent filling portion. The transmittance of the transparent filling portion is greater than that of the first film layer 20. By additionally providing the transparent filling portion, the flatness of the first film layer 20 as a whole can be improved while ensuring that the first light transmission region 120 and the second light transmission region 130 have high transmittance.

That is, the first film layer 20 can be perforated to improve the transmittance, or the local thickness of the first film layer 20 can be thinned to improve the transmittance. Similarly, the second opening 22 can be provided through the first film layer 20, or the second opening 22 can be formed by recessing the surface of the first film layer 20.

[0095] Please refer toFigure 1 and Figure 12 , Figure 12 In one example Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the locally enlarged structure at the middle Q.
[0096] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 12 As shown, the first light-transmitting area 120 and the second light-transmitting area 130 are both located in the non-display area NA to improve the transmittance of the non-display area NA, thereby improving the overall transmittance of the display panel 10. Furthermore, by adding the first light-transmitting area 120 and the second light-transmitting area 130 to the non-display area, the transmittance of the non-display area will increase as the area ratio of the first light-transmitting area 120 and the second light-transmitting area 130 increases. By properly arranging the distribution area of the first light-transmitting area 120 and the second light-transmitting area 130, the transmittance of the non-display area can be increased, thereby reducing the presence of the border and improving the display effect of the transparent screen.
[0097] There are various arrangements of the first light-transmitting area 120 and the second light-transmitting area 130 in the non-display area NA. For example, the first light-transmitting area 120 and the second light-transmitting area 130 may be distributed on one side of the display area AA along the extending direction of the non-display area NA.
[0098] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 12 , the second light-transmitting area 130 is located on the side of the first light-transmitting area 120 away from the display area AA; wherein, S1>S2. The non-display area NA is usually used to set up light-shielding components such as wiring, resulting in a low transmittance of the non-display area NA. In the embodiment of the present application, by setting the first light-transmitting area 120 with a larger distribution area in the non-display area NA close to the display area AA, the transmittance in the non-display area NA gradually increases in the direction close to the display area AA, which can improve the display difference between the display area AA and the non-display area NA and improve the overall light transmission effect of the display panel 10. The use of a gradually distributed light-transmitting area can achieve a gradual transmittance effect. The area of the light-transmitting area is large near the display area AA, and the area of the light-transmitting area is small away from the display area AA, thereby further alleviating the problem of a clear boundary between the display area AA and the non-display area NA.

Along the first direction X, the distance between the third sub-area 131 and the display area AA is equal to the distance from the fourth sub-area 132 to the display area AA. In this way, the transmittance of the first non-display area at different positions along the second direction Y is more uniform.
[0110] When the third sub-area 131 and the fourth sub-area 132 are located in the second non-display area, the first preset direction can be the first direction X, and the third sub-area 131 and the fourth sub-area 132 are spaced apart along the first direction X.

Figure 14 Optionally, the first trajectory L1 and the second trajectory L2 are equidistantly arranged, so that the transmittance of the display panel is more uniform in the direction from the display region AA to the non-display region NA.
[0115] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1D, the display region AA and the non-display region NA have a boundary, and when the boundary extends along the second direction Y, the first sub-region 121 and the second sub-region 122 can be spaced along the second direction Y, and the first preset direction is the second direction Y. Please refer to
[0116] when the display region AA has a corner, and the boundary between the display region AA and the non-display region NA extends along a direction intersecting the first direction X, the first sub-region 121 and the second sub-region 122 can extend along the extension direction of the boundary adjacent thereto, i.e., the first sub-region 121 and the second sub-region 122 also extend along a direction intersecting the first direction X. Similarly, the third sub-region 131 and the fourth sub-region 132 can also extend along a direction intersecting the first direction X. Figure 14 Figure 14 In other optional embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1E and FIG. 1F, along the second preset direction, the first sub-region 121 and / or the second sub-region 122 at least partially do not overlap with the second light-transmissive region 130, and the second preset direction intersects the first preset direction. That is, at least part of the first light-transmissive region 120 and the second light-transmissive region 130 are misaligned, and at least part of the second light-transmissive region 130 corresponds to between the adjacent first sub-region 121 and the second sub-region 122, so that the distribution of the light-transmissive regions is more uniform, to improve the uniformity of light transmission in the non-display region NA.
[0117] For example, as shown in FIG. 1E, the first sub-region 121 and the second sub-region 122 are arranged along the second direction Y, and the second light-transmissive region 130 is arranged along the first direction X, and the second light-transmissive region 130 is misaligned with the first sub-region 121 and the second sub-region 122.

[0118] For example, as shown in FIG. 1G, the first sub-region 121 and the second sub-region 122 are arranged along the first direction X, and the second light-transmissive region 130 is arranged along the second direction Y, and the second light-transmissive region 130 is misaligned with the first sub-region 121 and the second sub-region 122. Figure 14 As shown, when the first sub-area 121, the second sub-area 122, the third sub-area 131 and the fourth sub-area 132 are located in the same first non-display area, the first sub-area 121 and the third sub-area 131 can be arranged at least partially non-overlapping along the first direction X, and the second sub-area 122 and the fourth sub-area 132 can be arranged at least partially non-overlapping along the first direction X. For example, the first sub-area 121 and the second sub-area 122 are arranged as a first light transmission column along the second direction Y, the third sub-area 131 and the fourth sub-area 132 are arranged as a second light transmission column along the second direction Y, the first light transmission column and the second light transmission column are staggered, at least part of the third sub-area 131 corresponds to between adjacent first sub-area 121 and second sub-area 122, and at least part of the fourth sub-area 132 corresponds to between adjacent first sub-area 121 and second sub-area 122, so that the distribution of the light transmission area is more uniform, to improve the uniformity of the light transmission of the non-display area NA.
[0119] For example, as shown in Figure 15 , along the second preset direction, the first sub-area 121 and / or the second sub-area 122 are completely non-overlapping with the second light transmission area 130. For example, the first sub-area 121 and the third sub-area 131, the fourth sub-area 132 are completely non-overlapping, and the second sub-area 122 and the third sub-area 131, the fourth sub-area 132 are completely non-overlapping, so that the distribution of the light transmission area is more uniform, to improve the uniformity of the light transmission of the non-display area NA.
[0120] Optionally, as shown in Figure 16 and Figure 17 , the display panel 10 further includes a first signal line 33 located in the non-display area NA, the first signal line 33 can be arranged around the first light transmission area 120 and the second light transmission area 130, and the extension path of the first signal line 33 can be a zigzag shape.

When the second light transmission area 130 includes the third sub-area 131 and the fourth sub-area 132, the first signal line 33 can be arranged around the third sub-area 131 or the fourth sub-area 132.

By arranging the third opening 31 and the fourth opening 32, the transmittance of the first light transmission area 120 and the second light transmission area 130 can be improved.
[0123] Optionally, the third opening 31 and / or the fourth opening 32 is filled with a transparent filling part, and the transmittance of the transparent filling part is greater than the transmittance of the second film layer 30. By adding the transparent filling part, the flatness of the second film layer 30 as a whole can be improved while ensuring that the first light-transmitting area 120 and the second light-transmitting area 130 have high transmittance.
[0124] The second film layer 30 can include an organic film layer and / or an inorganic film layer. When the second film layer 30 includes an organic film layer, the second film layer 30 can include photoresist and the like, and in this case, the second film layer 30 can be prepared by a coating or printing process.

[0126] Alternatively, the second film layer 30 is a metal film layer, and the second film layer 30 includes the first signal line 33 described above, and the first signal line 33 includes the third opening 31 and the fourth opening 32. The third opening 31 and the fourth opening 32 are formed by punching the first signal line 33 having low light transmittance, which can improve the light transmittance of the first light-transmitting area 120 and the second light-transmitting area 130.
[0127] Optionally, Figure 18 The first signal line 33 included in the second film layer 30 is taken as an example for illustration, and the first signal line 33 can be in the same layer as the connection part 280.

[0129] In some other embodiments, as shown in Figure 19 , the number of the second light-transmitting areas 130 is two or more, and at least two of the second light-transmitting areas 130 are disposed on both sides of the first light-transmitting area 120 to increase the diversity of the arrangement of the non-display area NA light-transmitting area.
[0130] In some other embodiments, as shown in Figure 20 and Figure 21As shown, one of the first light-transmissive region 120 and the second light-transmissive region 130 can be located in the display region AA, and the other one is located in the non-display region NA. For example, the first light-transmissive region 120 is located in the display region AA, and the second light-transmissive region 130 is located in the non-display region NA; wherein S1>S2. By setting the first light-transmissive region 120 with a larger distribution area in the display region AA, the light transmittance of the display region AA of the display panel 10 can be improved.
