[0009] In some embodiments, the first electrode and the second electrode are transparent electrodes.

[0010] In some embodiments, the light-shielding material includes a light-blocking liquid.

[0011] In some embodiments, the light-blocking liquid includes black ink.

[0012] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting structure includes: a transparent filling material.

[0013] In some embodiments, the transparent filling material is a transparent liquid.

[0014] In some embodiments, the light transmission regulating layer further includes: a hydrophobic layer located between the light shielding material and the first electrode, and between the transparent filling material and the substrate.

[0015] In some of the embodiments, the display panel further includes: an isolation structure disposed between the light-transmitting structure and the dimming structure.

[0016] In some embodiments, the substrate includes a plurality of color resist layers disposed at intervals, and a non-luminous area is located between two adjacent color resist layers.

[0017] In some embodiments, the substrate includes a color filter substrate.

[0018] In some embodiments, at least two of the dimming structures have different shading areas.

[0019] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting regulating layer further includes: a first transparent substrate located on a side of the light-transmitting structure and the dimming structure close to the substrate; and a second transparent substrate located on a side of the light-transmitting structure and the dimming structure away from the substrate.

[0020] In a second aspect, the present application also provides a display device, comprising the aforementioned display panel.

[0021] In some embodiments, the display device includes at least one driving module, each of which is electrically connected to at least part of the dimming structure, and the driving module is used to provide an electrical signal to at least part of the dimming structure to control the shading area of ​​at least part of the dimming structure.

[0022] In some of the embodiments, the display device includes a driving module, the driving module is electrically connected to each of the dimming structures, and the driving module is used to provide an electrical signal to each of the dimming structures to control the shading area of ​​each of the dimming structures.

[0023] The above-mentioned display panel and display device, the display panel includes a substrate, and a light-emitting unit and a light-transmitting regulating layer located on the light-emitting side of the substrate, the light-transmitting regulating layer includes a light-transmitting structure and a dimming structure arranged alternately, the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting structure on the substrate covers the orthographic projection of the light-emitting unit on the substrate, so as not to affect the normal light emission of the display panel, and the normal light emission of the display panel is not blocked. The orthographic projection of the dimming structure on the substrate at least partially surrounds the orthographic projection of the light-emitting unit on the substrate. Since the brightness of the non-luminous area on the display panel mainly comes from the light obliquely irradiated by the light-emitting area of ​​the display panel, the light emission intensity is low, so the dimming structure is set corresponding to the non-luminous area, which can reduce the impact on the normal light emission of the display panel and ensure the brightness of the display panel. Since the dimming structure is set in the non-luminous area of ​​the display panel, it can also block the lateral light to achieve the anti-peeping effect, and the shading area of ​​the dimming structure is adjustable, so the degree of anti-peeping can be freely adjusted as needed, taking into account both the anti-peeping and the display effect of the display panel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to facilitate understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. Embodiments of the present application are provided in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0037] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0038] It can be understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. used in the present application can be used in this article to describe various elements, but these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the first element from another element.

[0039] Spatially relative terms such as "under," "beneath," "below," "under," "above," "above," and the like may be used herein to describe the relationship of an element or feature shown in the figures to other elements or features. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientations shown in the figures, spatially relative terms also include different orientations of the device in use and operation. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is flipped, an element or feature described as "under other elements" or "under it" or "under it" will be oriented as being "above" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary terms "under" and "under" may include both upper and lower orientations. In addition, the device may also include additional orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatial descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0040] It should be noted that when an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element, or connected to the other element through an intermediate element. In addition, the "connection" in the following embodiments should be understood as "electrical connection", "communication connection", etc. if there is transmission of electrical signals or data between the connected objects.

[0041] When used herein, the singular forms "a", "an", and "said / the" may also include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms "include / comprise" or "have" etc. specify the presence of stated features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts or combinations thereof, but do not exclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts or combinations thereof.

[0042] The display panel in the related art has the problem of affecting the brightness of the display panel while achieving the anti-peeping effect. The inventor has found through research that the problem occurs because in the related art, active anti-peeping means are used to achieve anti-peeping, and the anti-peeping structure is static, which achieves anti-peeping by blocking the side light emission of the display panel, which blocks the normal light output of the display panel to a certain extent, so that the brightness of the display panel is greatly affected.

[0043] Based on the above technical problems, the inventors have developed a technical solution for the embodiments of the present invention.

[0044] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 , a display panel is provided, including: a color filter substrate 10 and a light transmission regulating layer 20 , wherein:

[0045] The color filter substrate 10 includes a plurality of color resist layers 11 arranged at intervals, and a non-luminous area is located between two adjacent color resist layers 11 .

[0046] The color filter substrate 10 is used to filter the light emitted by the light-emitting unit of the display panel. The color filter substrate 10 includes a color resist layer 11. The position of the color resist layer 11 corresponds to the light-emitting unit of the display panel. The light emitted by the light-emitting unit passes through the color resist layer 11 to reach the outside. The light emitted by the light-emitting unit is filtered by the color resist layer 11, so that the chromaticity of the light emitted by the light-emitting unit is purer. The color of the color resist layer 11 can be one of red, green, and blue.

[0047] The substrate further includes an array substrate 30 , in which the circuit structure related to the display panel is integrated, and the array substrate 30 is located on the side of the color filter substrate 10 away from the light emitting side. The light emitting unit is also integrated in the array substrate 30 .

[0048] The light-transmitting regulating layer 20 is located at the light-emitting side of the color filter substrate 10 , and the light-transmitting regulating layer 20 includes light-transmitting structures 21 and dimming structures 22 that are alternately arranged.

[0049] The orthographic projection of the light-transmitting structure 21 on the color filter substrate 10 covers the orthographic projection of the light-emitting unit on the color filter substrate 10. The color-resistance layer on the color filter substrate 10 corresponds to the light-emitting unit of the display panel, and the light-transmitting structure 21 is arranged corresponding to the color-resistance layer 11 on the color filter substrate 10. In a specific embodiment, the projection of the light-transmitting structure 21 toward the color filter substrate 10 falls into the color-resistance layer 11, and the light from the color-resistance layer 11 can directly pass through the light-transmitting structure 21 to reach the outside, thereby not affecting the normal light emission of the display panel.

[0050] The orthographic projection of the dimming structure 22 on the color film substrate 10 at least partially surrounds the orthographic projection of the light-emitting unit on the color film substrate 10. In a specific embodiment, the projection of the dimming structure 22 toward the color film substrate 10 falls into the non-luminous area between the color resist layers 11, and the shading area of ​​the dimming structure 22 is adjustable. The dimming structure 22 blocks the lateral light from the luminous area of ​​the display panel to the non-luminous area. Therefore, the dimming structure 22 can adjust the viewing angle of the display panel by adjusting its own shading area. Since the brightness of the non-luminous area mainly comes from the light obliquely irradiated from the luminous area of ​​the display panel, and the luminous intensity is relatively low, the dimming structure 22 is set corresponding to the non-luminous area, which can reduce the impact on the normal light emission of the display panel and ensure the brightness of the display panel.

[0051] In this embodiment, the display panel includes a color filter substrate 10, and a light-transmitting regulating layer 20 located on the light-emitting side of the color filter substrate 10. The light-transmitting regulating layer 20 includes a light-transmitting structure 21 and a dimming structure 22 arranged alternately. The projection of the light-transmitting structure 21 toward the color filter substrate 10 falls into the color resistance layer 11, so as not to affect the normal light emission of the display panel, and the normal light emission of the display panel is not blocked. The projection of the dimming structure 22 toward the color filter substrate 10 falls into the non-luminous area. Since the brightness of the non-luminous area mainly comes from the light obliquely irradiated by the light-emitting area of ​​the display panel, the light intensity is low, so the dimming structure 22 is set corresponding to the non-luminous area, which can reduce the impact on the normal light emission of the display panel and ensure the brightness of the display panel. Since the dimming structure 22 is set in the non-luminous area of ​​the display panel, the side light can also be blocked to achieve the anti-peeping effect, and the shading area of ​​the dimming structure 22 is adjustable, so that the degree of anti-peeping can be freely adjusted according to needs, taking into account the anti-peeping and display effects of the display panel.

[0052] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG2 , the dimming structure includes: a dimming layer 23 , a first electrode 24 , and a second electrode 25 , wherein:

[0053] The dimming layer 23 includes a light shielding material 26 .

[0054] The first electrode 24 is located on a side of the dimming layer 23 close to the color filter substrate 10 .

[0055] The second electrode 25 is located on a side of the dimming layer 23 away from the color filter substrate 10 .

[0056] The shading area of ​​the shading material 26 is related to the electric field intensity between the first electrode 24 and the second electrode 25 .

[0057] The light-shielding material 26 may be formed by adding a light-absorbing material or a light-blocking material into a transparent material. The light-absorbing material or the light-blocking material may be carbon black or black ink.

[0058] The light-shielding material 26 includes light-blocking liquid. Optionally, the light-blocking liquid includes black ink.

[0059] Optionally, the shading area is related to the shape of the shading material 26, and the shape of the shading material 26 is related to the electric field strength between the first electrode 24 and the second electrode 25. The shading material 26 may also include one or more of polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, polyimide, polyvinylidene fluoride, and polyacrylic rubber, and may be deformed according to the direction of the electric field line, thereby adjusting the viewing angle. For example, polyacrylic rubber has a higher deformation under the action of voltage, and the viewing angle can be adjusted to a greater extent. When the electric field is eliminated, the shading material 26 may also return to its initial shape.

[0060] For example, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 , the area of ​​the light shielding material 26 is the largest in FIG. 1 and the smallest in FIG. 3 . When the area of ​​the light shielding material 26 is the largest, the light shielding effect and the anti-peeping effect are the best, but at the same time, the degree of blocking the lateral light path is also the largest. When the area of ​​the light shielding material 26 is the smallest, the degree of blocking the lateral light path is the smallest.

[0061] Exemplarily, taking the shading material 26 as a liquid, the contact angle between the shading material 26 and the surface carrying the shading material 26 will change under different electric fields. For example, the liquid changes from its original flat shape to a spherical droplet under the action of the electric field, thereby causing a change in the shading area.

[0062] Exemplarily, the relationship between the grayscale and voltage of the dimming layer 23 may be as shown in FIG4 , where the greater the voltage, the greater the grayscale. The corresponding change in the shading area of ​​the shading material 26 may be as shown in FIG5 , where the shading material 26 is not applied with a voltage, and the shading area is the largest, and the shading material 26 is applied with a voltage, and the shading area becomes smaller.

[0063] The first electrode 24 and the second electrode 25 are respectively one of the positive electrode and the negative electrode, thereby providing voltage for the dimming layer 23. The first electrode 24 and the second electrode 25 can be electrodes of the entire surface, thereby forming a uniform electric field, so that the area of ​​the light shielding material 26 of the dimming layer 23 is uniformly adjusted.

[0064] Optionally, the first electrode 24 and the second electrode 25 are transparent electrodes.

[0065] The first electrode 24 and the second electrode 25 are both made of transparent conductive materials, so as not to block the light. For example, the first electrode 24 and the second electrode 25 can be a stack of one or more of ITO (indium tin oxide), IZO (indium zinc oxide), IZTO (indium zinc tin oxide), IAZO (indium aluminum zinc oxide), IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide), IGTO (indium gallium tin oxide), AZO (aluminum zinc oxide), ATO (antimony tin oxide), and IGZTO (indium gallium zinc tin oxide).

[0066] In this embodiment, by designing the dimming structure 22 to include a dimming layer 23 having a shading material 26, the shading area can be adjusted, so that the degree of privacy protection can be freely adjusted as needed, taking into account both privacy protection and the display effect of the display panel.

[0067] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to FIG. 1 , the light-transmitting structure 21 includes: a transparent filling material 27 .

[0068] Optionally, the transparent filling material 27 is a transparent liquid such as water, or the transparent filling material 27 is a transparent resin, glue, etc.

[0069] In this embodiment, a transparent filling material is designed in the light-transmitting structure 21 so as not to affect the light emission of the color-resist layer 11 .

[0070] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6 , the light transmission regulating layer further includes: a hydrophobic layer 40 , located between the light shielding material 26 and the first electrode 24 , and between the transparent filling material 27 and the color filter substrate 10 .

[0071] In this embodiment, by providing the hydrophobic layer 40 , liquid penetration can be prevented and the viscosity of the liquid can be reduced. When the light shielding material 26 is liquid, the shape of the light shielding material 26 can be changed more easily.

[0072] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 1 , the display panel further includes an isolation structure 50 . The isolation structure 50 is disposed between the light-transmitting structure 21 and the dimming structure 22 .

[0073] The isolation structure 50 may be a retaining wall, which is used to isolate the light-transmitting structure 21 from the dimming structure 22 to prevent different materials of the light-transmitting structure 21 and the dimming structure 22 from penetrating into each other.

[0074] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 1 , the light transmission regulating layer further includes: a first transparent substrate 61 and a second transparent substrate 62 , wherein:

[0075] The first transparent substrate 61 is located on a side of the light-transmitting structure 21 and the dimming structure 22 close to the color filter substrate 10 .

[0076] The second transparent substrate 62 is located on a side of the light-transmitting structure 21 and the dimming structure 22 away from the color filter substrate 10 .

[0077] The materials of the first transparent substrate 61 and the second transparent substrate 62 may be polyethylene terephthalate (PET), triacetyl cellulose (TAC), glass, etc. The first transparent substrate 61 and the second transparent substrate 62 may provide support and protection for the internal film layer.

[0078] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 7, it is a partial schematic diagram of the light-transmitting control layer. Figure 7 shows the hydrophobic layer 40, the first transparent substrate 61, the second transparent substrate 62, the isolation structure 50, the dimming layer 23, the first electrode 24, the second electrode 25, and the transparent filling material 27. The structures of each film layer have been described in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0079] For example, in the dimming layer, the area except the light shielding material 26 may be filled with a transparent liquid, such as water.

[0080] In this embodiment, by providing the first transparent substrate 61 and the second transparent substrate 62 , support and protection can be provided for the light-transmitting structure 21 and the dimming structure 22 .

[0081] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 , at least two of the dimming structures 22 have different light shielding areas.

[0082] In this embodiment, the shading area of ​​each dimming structure 22 can be adjusted independently, and the shading areas of different dimming structures 22 can be different, so that zone dimming can be achieved. The shading areas of different areas of the display panel can be designed to be different, which can be selected according to the actual scenario.

[0083] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a display device. FIG9 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a display device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, and the display device includes any display panel provided by the above embodiments. Therefore, the display device also has the beneficial effects of the display panel in the above embodiments, and the similarities can be understood by referring to the above explanation of the display panel, which will not be repeated below.

[0084] In one embodiment, please continue to refer to Fig. 8, each dimming structure 22 includes an independent first electrode 24 and a second electrode 25. The display device includes at least one driving module (not shown in the figure).

[0085] The display device may include a plurality of driving modules, or may include only one driving module.

[0086] In one embodiment, if the display device includes multiple driving modules, one driving module is electrically connected to at least part of the dimming structure 22, and the driving module is used to provide an electrical signal to at least part of the dimming structure 22 to control the shading area of ​​at least part of the dimming structure. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the driving module can be connected to at least one dimming structure 22, and all the dimming structures 22 in the display device are controlled by the electrical signal of the driving module.

[0087] In another embodiment, if the display device includes only one driving module, the driving module is electrically connected to each dimming structure 22 , and the driving module is used to provide an electrical signal to each dimming structure 22 to control the shading area of ​​each dimming structure 22 .

[0088] In this embodiment, each dimming structure includes its own independent first electrode and second electrode. The driving module is respectively connected to the first electrode and the second electrode of each dimming structure, and can independently provide electrical signals to the first electrode and the second electrode of each dimming structure, so that the shading area of ​​each dimming structure can be adjusted independently. The shading areas of different dimming structures can be different, thereby realizing zone dimming. The shading areas of different areas of the display panel can be designed to be different, which can be selected according to the actual scenario.
