[0046] The present disclosure will now be described in greater detail with reference to the following embodiments. It should be noted that the following description of some embodiments presented herein is merely intended to be illustrative and descriptive and not exhaustive or limiting to the precise form disclosed.
[0047] The present disclosure provides, among other things, a display panel, a display assembly, and a method of operating a display panel that substantially obviate one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art. In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a display panel. In some embodiments, the display panel includes a plurality of pixel islands arranged in an array. Each pixel island of the plurality of pixel islands includes one or more sub-pixels. Optionally, the display panel includes N rows of sub-pixels, the N rows of sub-pixels including an nth row and an (n+i)th row, N, n, and i being positive integers, 1≤n≤N, and 1≤i≤(N-1). Optionally, the display panel includes a first pixel island located at the nth row, the first pixel island including one or more first sub-pixels and m first dummy sub-pixels, m being a positive integer greater than or equal to 1, and a second pixel island located at the (n+i)th row, the second pixel island including one or more second sub-pixels and m second dummy sub-pixels. Optionally, the one or more first sub-pixels in the first pixel island located at the nth row are arranged in a kth column to a (k+j)th column, k being a positive integer, and j being an integer greater than or equal to 0. Optionally, the one or more second sub-pixels in the second pixel island located at the (n+i)th row are arranged in a (k+m)th column to a (k+j+m)th column. Optionally, the m first dummy sub-pixels in the first pixel island located at the nth row are arranged in a (k+j+1)th column to a (k+j+m)th column. Optionally, the m second dummy sub-pixels in the second pixel island located at the (n+i)th row are arranged in a (k+j+1+m)th column to a (k+j+2m)th column.
[0048] Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional structural view of a display assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 2 is a schematic three-dimensional structural view of a display assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display assembly including a display panel DP and a lens layer LL. The display panel DP is provided with a plurality of pixel islands PI distributed in an array. Each pixel island of the plurality of pixel islands PI includes a plurality of sub-pixels Sp arranged continuously along a set direction sDR. The lens layer LL is disposed on an emission surface ES of the display panel DP and includes a plurality of columnar lenses LTLS arranged along the set direction sDR. The pitch P lens of the plurality of columnar lenses LTLS is not greater than a dimension D pixel of an opening AP of each pixel island in the set direction sDR. The pitch P sub of the plurality of sub-pixels Sp in each pixel island of the plurality of pixel islands PI is less than half of the pitch P lens of the plurality of columnar lenses LTLS. The pitch Plens is equal to the sum of the size of each of the plurality of lenticular lenses LTLS in the set direction sDR and the distance between adjacent two lenticular lenses, i.e., the pitch P lens is equal to the distance between the central axes of adjacent two lenticular lenses.
[0049] In the display assembly according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, by optimizing the design of parameters, such as the positional relationship between the sub-pixels in the plurality of pixel islands PI, the sub-pixel pitch P sub (i.e., the pitch of the plurality of sub-pixels Sp), the size of the opening AP of each pixel island, and the lenticular lens pitch P lens (i.e., the pitch of the plurality of lenticular lenses LTLS), the viewing angle of the display assembly can be expanded to close to 180°, and a naked-eye 3D display with a wide viewing angle is achieved. In addition, when the display assembly is prepared, there is no need to align the plurality of lenticular lenses LTLS with the plurality of pixel islands PI, which can simplify the preparation process of the display assembly.
[0050] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the display assembly according to the embodiments of the present disclosure comprises a display panel DP and a lens layer LL stacked. The display panel DP comprises an emission surface ES and a back surface BKS opposite to each other. The light emitted by the display panel DP is emitted from the emission surface ES. The lens layer LL is disposed on the emission surface ES of the display panel DP, so that the light from different sub-pixels in the plurality of sub-pixels Sp can be projected to different areas away from the display panel DP. In this way, the side of the lens layer LL away from the display panel DP is the display side of the display assembly. In order to achieve a naked-eye 3D display, the display device with the display assembly can be driven according to the following driving method: obtaining the positions of both eyes; determining the image sub-pixels of the plurality of pixel islands PI from the sub-pixels of the pixel islands according to the positions of both eyes, wherein the image sub-pixels of each pixel island in the plurality of pixel islands PI comprise a first sub-pixel for displaying a left-eye image and a second sub-pixel for displaying a right-eye image; and driving the first sub-pixel to display the left-eye image and driving the second sub-pixel to display the right-eye image. In this way, the left eye can see the left-eye image displayed by the first sub-pixel, and the right eye can see the right-eye image displayed by the first sub-pixel, so that the viewer can see a 3D image.
[0051] The display panel DP according to the embodiments of the present disclosure can be an organic light-emitting device (OLED) display panel, a polymer light-emitting device (PLED) display panel, a micro light-emitting diode (micro LED) display panel, a mini light-emitting diode (mini LED) display panel, a quantum dot (QD) display panel, a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, or other types of display panels.
[0052] As an example, the display panel DP can be an OLED display panel, which can include a substrate base BS, a driving circuit layer DCL, a pixel layer PXL and an encapsulation layer EN stacked in sequence. The pixel layer PXL includes a plurality of pixel islands PI distributed in an array, and any pixel island of the plurality of pixel islands PI includes a plurality of sub-pixels Sp arranged continuously along a set direction sDR. Each sub-pixel of the plurality of sub-pixels Sp is an organic light-emitting diode. The set direction sDR is a direction parallel to a plane in which the substrate base BS is located. The driving circuit layer DCL can be provided with pixel driving circuits connected to the plurality of sub-pixels Sp one-to-one. Each pixel driving circuit of the pixel driving circuits can be connected to a corresponding sub-pixel and independently drive the sub-pixel. Each pixel island of the plurality of pixel islands PI has a light-emitting area, which is an opening AP of the pixel island. It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the opening AP of the pixel island is a group of light-emitting areas of the plurality of sub-pixels Sp of the pixel island.
[0053] According to some embodiments, the encapsulation layer EN can be a thin-film encapsulation layer, which can include stacked organic material layers and inorganic material layers to avoid external water and oxygen from invading the plurality of pixel islands PI and causing the plurality of sub-pixels Sp to fail.
[0054] According to some embodiments, the pixel layer PXL can further include a pixel definition layer PDL. The pixel definition layer PDL is formed with pixel openings arranged one-to-one with the plurality of pixel islands PI. Any pixel opening can expose a corresponding pixel island opening. In some embodiments, the pixel definition layer PDL can be used to define the light-emitting area of each pixel island of the plurality of pixel islands PI, i.e., the pixel definition layer PDL defines the opening AP of the pixel island. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the pixel definition layer PDL can be used to isolate light from different pixel islands to avoid crosstalk between the plurality of pixel islands PI.
[0055] In some embodiments, the display panel DP can further include a circular polarizer POL. The circular polarizer POL can be disposed on a side of the encapsulation layer EN away from the substrate base BS to reduce the influence of ambient light on the display effect.
[0056] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a distribution of pixel islands in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a distribution of pixel islands in some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4In the display assembly according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the opening AP of each pixel island can be shaped as a parallelogram. The long side direction of the opening of the pixel island PI can be the first direction DR1, and the short side direction can be the second direction DR2. Both the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2 are parallel to the direction of the light-exit surface ES of the display panel DP. In other words, the short side direction of the opening AP of the pixel island can be parallel to the extension direction of the columnar lens. In some embodiments, the second direction DR2 is perpendicular to the set direction sDR, and the first direction DR1 is the same as the set direction sDR. Therefore, the opening AP of the pixel island can be rectangular. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the set direction sDR intersects the first direction DR1.
[0057] In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first direction DR1 is the same as the row direction of the sub-pixel array in the display panel DP, and the second direction DR2 is the same as the column direction of the sub-pixel array in the display panel DP. In one example, the row direction of the sub-pixel array in the display panel DP can be the extension direction of the gate line of the display panel DP, and the column direction of the sub-pixel array in the display panel DP can be the extension direction of the data line of the display panel DP.
[0058] In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the plurality of pixel islands PI can be arranged into a plurality of columns, and any pixel island column includes a plurality of pixel islands PI arranged along the second direction DR2. In this way, the crosstalk between the left-eye view and the right-eye view can be reduced, and the naked-eye 3D display effect can be improved. In addition, this can also facilitate the simultaneous determination of the image sub-pixels of the pixel islands in the same pixel island column, which simplifies the driving method of the display assembly.
[0059] In addition, the plurality of pixel islands PI can also be arranged into a plurality of rows, and any pixel island row includes a plurality of pixel islands PI arranged along the first direction DR1.
[0060] For example, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 3 the plurality of pixel islands PI are arranged into a plurality of pixel island rows and a plurality of pixel island columns. Each pixel island column includes a plurality of pixel islands PI arranged along the second direction DR2, and each pixel island row includes a plurality of pixel islands PI arranged along the first direction DR1. Adjacent two pixel islands in the same pixel island row are located in two pixel island rows spaced apart by one pixel island row, and adjacent two pixel islands in the same pixel island row are located in two pixel island columns spaced apart by one pixel island column.
[0061] For another example, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the plurality of pixel islands PI are arranged in a plurality of pixel island rows and a plurality of pixel island columns. Each pixel island column includes a plurality of pixel islands PI arranged along a direction DR2, and each pixel island row includes a plurality of pixel islands PI arranged along a first direction DR1. Adjacent two pixel islands in the plurality of pixel islands PI in a same pixel island column are located in adjacent two pixel island rows.
[0062] According to some embodiments, the light emitting colors of the plurality of sub-pixels Sp within a same pixel island are the same. For example, the sub-pixels in a same pixel island all emit red light, or all emit green light, or all emit blue light.
[0063] According to some embodiments, the plurality of pixel islands PI of the display panel DP include red pixel islands for emitting red light, green pixel islands for emitting green light, and blue pixel islands for emitting blue light. The sub-pixels in each red pixel island all emit red light; the sub-pixels in each green pixel island all emit green light; and the sub-pixels in each blue pixel island all emit blue light.

Figure 7 is a schematic diagram showing the distribution of light passing through lenticular lenses projected by a pixel island in a display assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 8 is a schematic diagram showing the distribution of light passing through lenticular lenses projected by a pixel island in a display assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. In the display assembly according to embodiments of the present disclosure, refer to Figures 6 to 8, any one of the plurality of pixel islands PI can project a corresponding viewing zone A to the display side through a corresponding one of the lenticular lenses. The viewing zone A can be a sector space region on the display side of the display assembly. In a cross-section perpendicular to the light exit surface ES of the display panel DP and parallel to the set direction sDR, the cross-section of the viewing zone A is a radial region formed by two edges. One of the plurality of pixel islands PI corresponds to a plurality of viewing zones A, and one viewing zone A corresponds to one of the plurality of pixel islands PI and the lenticular lens LTL simultaneously. When a pixel island of the plurality of pixel islands PI emits light, the light emitted by the pixel island reaches the corresponding viewing zone A through the lenticular lens LTL without reaching outside the corresponding viewing zone A. In other words, the region of the display side irradiated by the light emitted by the pixel island of the plurality of pixel islands PI and passing through the lenticular lens LTL is the viewing zone A corresponding to the pixel island and the lenticular lens LTL. In the display assembly according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, each viewing zone A corresponding to a pixel island of the plurality of pixel islands PI is a continuous region, and each viewing zone A corresponds to a viewing angle. The viewing angles of the viewing zones A of the plurality of pixel islands PI can be spliced with each other to achieve a total viewing angle close to or equal to 180° on the display side. In other words, the plurality of pixel islands PI can be seen at any angular position on the light exit side.
[0065] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram showing the distribution of light passing through the lenticular lens projected by a pixel island when a gap is set between the sub-pixels. Figure 11 is a schematic diagram showing the distribution of light passing through one lenticular lens projected by a sub-pixel of one pixel island in the display assembly in some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 11 , a pixel island of the plurality of pixel islands PI includes a plurality of sub-pixels Sp arranged along the set direction sDR, so any viewing zone A corresponding to the pixel island includes a plurality of sub-viewing zones A sub corresponding to the sub-pixels of the pixel island one by one. sub Each sub-viewing zone of the plurality of sub-viewing zones A sub of the pixel island is a spatial region projected by the sub-pixel of the pixel island through the lenticular lens LTL. Each sub-viewing zone can be a sector region on the display side of the display assembly. In a cross-section perpendicular to the light exit surface ES of the display panel DP and parallel to the set direction sDR, the cross-section of each sub-viewing zone is a radial region formed by two edges. One sub-pixel corresponds to a plurality of sub-viewing zones A sub , and one sub-viewing zone corresponds to one sub-pixel and the lenticular lens LTL simultaneously. When the sub-pixel of the pixel island emits light, the light from the sub-pixel can irradiate to its sub-viewing zone through the lenticular lens LTL without irradiating to other regions. In other words, the region on the display side irradiated by the light emitted by the sub-pixel and passing through the lenticular lens LTL is the sub-viewing zone corresponding to the sub-pixel and the lenticular lens LTL. Referring to Figure 11 , Figure 11It is exemplarily provided that one of the plurality of pixel islands PI includes 8 sub-pixels, and the xth sub-pixel is a sub-pixel P sub(x) , x is a positive integer from 1 to 8. The pixel island projects a corresponding viewing zone A through the lenticular lens LTL, as shown, and any sub-pixel P sub(x) projects a corresponding sub-viewing zone A sub(x) through the lenticular lens LTL.
[0066] Referring to Figure 11 , in the display assembly according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sub-pixels in the pixel island of the plurality of pixel islands PI are arranged continuously along the set direction sDR. In the pixel island, the distance between the adjacent two sub-pixels along the set direction sDR is zero; along the set direction sDR, the size of each sub-pixel is equal to the pitch P sub of the sub-pixels. Referring to Figure 5 , when there is a non-light-emitting area NLA between the adjacent two sub-pixels, the non-light-emitting area NLA forms a divergent non-viewing zone DNVR on the display side through the lens layer LL. The width of the divergent non-viewing zone DNVR increases in the direction away from the display assembly. The width of the divergent non-viewing zone DNVR refers to the size of the divergent non-viewing zone DNVR in the set direction sDR. Since the width of the divergent non-viewing zone DNVR can increase in the direction away from the display assembly, its width can exceed the width of the human eye at the normal viewing distance. When the pupil of the human eye is located in the divergent non-viewing zone DNVR, the sub-pixels in the pixel island cannot be seen, so that the display assembly cannot achieve a near-180° naked-eye 3D display effect on the display side. However, in the display assembly according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sub-pixels in the pixel island are arranged continuously, which can avoid the non-light-emitting area NLA between the adjacent two sub-pixels, and prevent the non-light-emitting area NLA from forming the divergent non-viewing zone DNVR on the display side. In the cross section perpendicular to the light-out surface 130 of the display panel DP and parallel to the set direction sDR, the width of the divergent non-viewing zone DNVR increases with the increase of the distance from the display assembly.
[0067] According to some embodiments, in the same pixel island, the number of sub-pixels arranged along the set direction sDR is 4 to 12. In this way, there can be enough sub-pixels to display left-eye images and right-eye images respectively, while avoiding too many sub-pixels to increase the cost of the display assembly, so that the pixel density of the display panel DP can be reduced.
[0068] In the display assembly according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 1 , the lens layer LL can include a matrix layer ML and a plurality of lenticular lenses LTLs arranged on the side of the matrix layer ML away from the display panel DP. Preferably, the material of the matrix layer ML is the same as that of the plurality of lenticular lenses LTLs, and the matrix layer ML and the plurality of lenticular lenses LTLs can be formed as an integral structure.
[0069] According to some embodiments, the plurality of pixel islands PI is located at the focal plane of the plurality of lenticular lenses LTLS. In this way, crosstalk between the left-eye image seen by the left eye and the right-eye image seen by the right eye can be reduced, thereby improving the effect of 3D display. In addition, arranging the plurality of pixel islands PI at the focal plane of the plurality of lenticular lenses LTLS can also facilitate determination of the farthest viewing limit and the nearest viewing limit of the display assembly, and facilitate determination of the first sub-pixel for displaying the left-eye image and the second sub-pixel for displaying the right-eye image, which helps to reduce the complexity of the driving method of the display device applying the display assembly.
[0070] In embodiments of the present disclosure, the focal plane of the lenticular lens is the plane where the focal point on the same side of the lenticular lens is located, i.e., the plane passing through the focal point of the lenticular lens and perpendicular to the principal axis of the lenticular lens.
[0071] In the display assembly according to embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 1 , along the set direction sDR, the P lens of the plurality of lenticular lenses LTLS is not greater than the size D pixel of the opening AP of each pixel island. pixel of the opening AP of each pixel island is equal to the pitch P pixel of the pixel islands minus the width g between adjacent two pixel islands in the plurality of pixel islands PI in the pixel definition layer PDL. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the pitch P lens of the plurality of lenticular lenses LTLS is equal to the sum of the size of each of the plurality of lenticular lenses LTLS in the set direction sDR and the distance between adjacent two lenticular lenses, i.e., the pitch P lens may be equal to the distance between the principal axes of adjacent two lenticular lenses in the set direction sDR. With reference to Figure 6 , along the set direction sDR, if the pitch P lens of the plurality of lenticular lenses LTLS is greater than the size D pixel of the opening AP of the pixel islands in the set direction sDR, a divergent non-visual region DNVR is formed between adjacent two boundaries corresponding to adjacent two visual regions A of the pixel islands. When the pupil is at the divergent non-visual region DNVR, the eye cannot see any of the plurality of pixel islands PI. Since the pitch P lens of the plurality of lenticular lenses LTLS in embodiments of the present disclosure is not greater than the size D pixelTherefore, it can be ensured that no divergent non-visual region DNVR is formed between the individual visual regions A of the pixel islands in the plurality of pixel islands PI, thereby avoiding the situation that the eye cannot see the pixel islands in the divergent non-visual region DNVR, which will affect the naked-eye 3D display effect. Accordingly, it can be ensured that the visual angles of the visual regions A of the pixel islands can be spliced with each other, and the pixel islands can be seen from any angle on the light-emitting side.
[0072] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, along the set direction sDR, the pitch P of the plurality of cylindrical lenses LTLS is equal to the size D of the opening AP of the pixel island in the set direction sDR. lens pixel .
[0073] Figure 9 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the distribution of light passing through the cylindrical lens projected by one pixel island in a display assembly according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; wherein, Figure 9 the position of the pixel island in Figure 8 is offset by half of the pitch of the cylindrical lenses in the set direction. Figure 10 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the distribution of light passing through the cylindrical lens projected by one pixel island in a display assembly according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to Figures 8 to 10 , the adjacent two boundaries corresponding to the adjacent two visual regions A of the pixel island are parallel to each other. Therefore, the visual angles corresponding to the adjacent two visual regions A of the pixel island can be continuous, and thus the visual angles corresponding to the visual regions A of the pixel island can continuously form a total visual angle of 180°. Accordingly, a strip-shaped non-visual region B is formed between the adjacent two visual regions A corresponding to the pixel island, and the size of the strip-shaped non-visual region B in the set direction sDR is equal to the size D of the opening AP of the pixel island in the set direction sDR. pixel The strip-shaped non-visual region B appears as a strip-shaped region, and in a cross section perpendicular to the light-emitting surface 130 of the display panel DP and parallel to the set direction sDR, the cross section of the strip-shaped non-visual region B is a region on the display side formed by two parallel sides. Since the opening AP of the pixel island is very small compared to the size of the pupil and is at the retinal level, the existence of the strip-shaped non-visual region B will not make any pixel island completely invisible to the eye, and thus it can be equivalently considered that the visual regions A of the pixel island are in a closely connected state on the display side. In other words, the strip-shaped non-visual region B does not affect the normal display of the display assembly.
[0074] In Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the alignment positions of the plurality of cylindrical lenses and the plurality of pixel islands PI are different, but Figure 8 and Figure 9 The arrangement of the pixel islands can make the viewing area A of the pixel islands equal to the close connection state on the display side. Therefore, in the display assembly according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the total viewing angle of the display assembly remains unchanged regardless of whether the plurality of columnar lenses and the plurality of pixel islands PI are aligned. When manufacturing the display assembly, the columnar lenses and the plurality of pixel islands PI do not need to be aligned, which can simplify the manufacturing process of the display assembly.
[0075] According to some embodiments, the size of each pixel island in the setting direction sDR is equal to 10 microns to 100 microns. In this way, it can be avoided that the size of each pixel island in the setting direction sDR is too large, and the width of the strip-shaped non-viewing area B is too large, and it can be prevented that the size of the pixel island in the setting direction sDR is too small, which avoids causing difficulty in pixel preparation.
[0076] For the display assembly of the present embodiment, when 3D display is required, the image sub-pixels of any pixel island can be determined according to the following method. From the sub-viewing area A sub of the pixel island, the sub-viewing area A sub where the pupil 410 of the left eye is located is determined as the first sub-viewing area A sub . The sub-pixel corresponding to the first sub-viewing area A sub is determined as the first sub-pixel of the pixel island. From the sub-viewing area A sub of the pixel island, the sub-viewing area A sub where the pupil 420 of the right eye is located is determined as the second sub-viewing area A sub . The sub-pixel corresponding to the second sub-viewing area A sub is determined as the second sub-pixel of the pixel island.
[0077] In this embodiment, the corresponding viewing areas A of one pixel island do not overlap, and therefore in the 3D visual space, the pupil of one eye will not see the same sub-pixel of the pixel island through two different columnar lenses. Based on this, when 2D display is required, the plurality of sub-pixels Sp can be caused to display a 2D picture, so that the viewer can see the 2D picture, and the defect of display brightness fluctuation in the setting direction sDR will not occur. In other words, the display assembly of the present embodiment can also display a 2D picture by simultaneously driving the plurality of sub-pixels Sp, so as to realize 2D display with uniform brightness.
[0078] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, along the setting direction sDR, the pitch P lens of the plurality of columnar lenses LTLs is smaller than the size D pixel of the opening AP of each pixel island in the setting direction sDR, and then, as shown in Figure 7 , the adjacent two boundaries corresponding to the adjacent two viewing areas A of the pixel island intersect. That is, there is an overlapping area A cross between the adjacent two viewing areas A, and the overlapping area A crossMeanwhile, the pixel island and the two columnar lenses correspond to each other. Accordingly, the two adjacent view zones A corresponding to the pixel island partially overlap in the viewing angle, so that the viewing angles corresponding to the respective view zones A of the pixel island can sequentially overlap to form a total viewing angle of 180°, so as to realize 3D display with wide viewing angle.
[0079] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, along the set direction sDR, the pitch P of the plurality of columnar lenses LTLS is greater than the size D of the opening AP of each pixel island in the set direction sDR lens , and is less than half of the size D of the opening AP of each pixel island in the set direction sDR pixel , and is greater than the size D of the opening AP of each pixel island in the set direction sDR pixel . In this way, an overlapping area A cross is formed between the adjacent two view zones A of the pixel island, and no overlapping area A cross is formed between the two non-adjacent view zones A. In this way, on the one hand, the size of each columnar lens in the set direction sDR can be increased to improve the manufacturing convenience of the plurality of columnar lenses LTLS. On the other hand, it is convenient to determine the plurality of sub-pixels Sp in the pixel island as image sub-pixels corresponding to the eyes according to the eye positions. In addition, this embodiment can improve the 3D visual space of the display assembly. The image sub-pixels corresponding to the eyes include at least one first sub-pixel corresponding to the left eye for displaying the left eye image and at least one second sub-pixel corresponding to the right eye for displaying the right eye image, the number of the at least one first sub-pixel is one or two, and the number of the at least one second sub-pixel is one or two.
[0080] For the display assembly of the present embodiment, the image sub-pixels of any pixel island can be determined according to the following method:
[0081] If the pupil of an eye is not in the overlapping area A cross of the two view zones A, the sub-pixel corresponding to the view zone A sub where the pupil of the eye is located is the image sub-pixel corresponding to the eye. For example, if the pupil of the left eye is not in the overlapping area A cross of the two view zones A, the sub-pixel corresponding to the sub-view zone A sub where the pupil of the left eye is located is the first sub-pixel. For another example, if the pupil of the right eye is not in the overlapping area A cross of the two view zones A, the sub-pixel corresponding to the sub-view zone A sub where the pupil of the right eye is located is the second sub-pixel.
[0082] If the pupil of an eye is in the overlapping area A cross of the view zones A corresponding to the adjacent two columnar lenses, the first candidate sub-view zone A sub and the second candidate sub-view zone Asub . The first candidate sub-view A sub is the sub-view A where the pupil of the eye is located sub , which corresponds to one of the plurality of columnar lenses LTLS, i.e., the first candidate sub-view A sub belongs to one of the two overlapping views A. The second candidate sub-view A sub is the sub-view A where the pupil of the eye is located sub , which corresponds to another columnar lens, i.e., the second candidate sub-view A sub belongs to the other of the two overlapping views A. In this case, the pupil of the other eye must not be located in the overlapping region A cross , otherwise the eye will exceed the farthest viewing limit of the display assembly. The sub-view A where the pupil of the other eye is located sub is determined as the anchor sub-view A sub . On the line connecting the pupils of the two eyes, the candidate sub-view A sub which is farther away from the anchor sub-view A sub is selected from the first candidate sub-view A sub and the second candidate sub-view A sub as the target sub-view A sub corresponding to the eye. The sub-pixel corresponding to the target sub-view A sub is determined as the image sub-pixel of the eye.
[0083] In some embodiments, in the display assembly according to embodiments of the present disclosure, the size of each columnar lens in the set direction sDR is equal to the pitch P lens of the plurality of columnar lenses LTLS. That is, referring to Figure 1 , the two adjacent columnar lenses are connected to each other, and the filling rate of the plurality of columnar lenses LTLS is 100%. In this way, not only can the width of each columnar lens in the set direction sDR be increased to facilitate the preparation of the plurality of columnar lenses LTLS, but also the light-shielding strips located between the plurality of columnar lenses LTLS in the lens layer can be avoided, thereby making the display assembly have higher light output efficiency and display brightness.
[0084] In alternative embodiments, the lens layer LL can further include a plurality of light-shielding strips LSB arranged along the set direction sDR. The light-shielding strips LSB and the plurality of columnar lenses LTLS are arranged alternately. In other words, there is a gap between the two adjacent columnar lenses, and a light-shielding strip LSB for shielding light is arranged in the gap to avoid that stray light emitted from the gap can affect the display effect.
[0085] To fabricate a medium-sized or small-sized display panel, a fine metal mask is often used to deposit a functional material layer such as a light-emitting layer. The fine metal mask often includes a plurality of support structures (e.g., rib structures) for supporting during deposition of the functional material. Figure 12 A structure of a portion of a fine metal mask in some embodiments according to the present disclosure is shown. Reference is made to Figure 12 In some embodiments, the fine metal mask includes a plurality of support structures RIB. Figure 13 is a schematic diagram showing a distribution of pixel islands in a display panel in some embodiments according to the present disclosure. Reference is made to Figure 13 In some embodiments, the display panel includes a plurality of pixel islands PI arranged in an array. Each pixel island in the plurality of pixel islands PI includes one or more sub-pixels spl. Optionally, at least one pixel island in the plurality of pixel islands PI further includes one or more dummy sub-pixels dsp. The presence of the one or more dummy sub-pixels dsp in at least one pixel island in the plurality of pixel islands PI is due to the presence of one or more support structures in the plurality of support structures in the fine metal mask.
[0086] As used herein, the term “dummy sub-pixel” refers to a structure that is present only as a pattern and does not actually perform a function in the display substrate. For example, one or more light-emitting layers are not present in a dummy sub-pixel. In another example, an electrical signal is not applied to a dummy sub-pixel. In another example, even if an electrical signal is applied to a dummy sub-pixel, the dummy sub-pixel does not perform a function that is electrically equivalent to a sub-pixel. For example, even if an electrical signal is applied to a dummy sub-pixel, the dummy sub-pixel is not capable of emitting light. In one example, a dummy pixel is part of a display panel for supporting a fine metal mask when depositing one or more layers using the fine metal mask. In another example, a dummy pixel does not substantially include (e.g., at least 70% does not include, at least 80% does not include, at least 90% does not include, at least 95% does not include, at least 99% does not include, or completely does not include) a light-emitting material.
[0087] Figure 14 is a schematic diagram showing a distribution of pixel islands in a display panel in some embodiments according to the present disclosure. Figure 14 A display panel fabricated without using a fine metal mask is shown. Reference is made to Figure 14 , Figure 14 The display panel shown in Figure 13 differs from the display panel shown in Figure 14 The display panel shown in does not include one or more dummy sub-pixels. Figure 14 The plurality of sub-pixels Sp in the display panel shown in are contiguous with each other at least in the same row and at least in a portion of the display panel. In Figure 14In the display panel shown, subpixels are arranged continuously. As mentioned above, when subpixels are arranged continuously, non-light-emitting areas (NLA) between adjacent subpixels can be avoided, and divergent non-viewing areas are not formed on the display side.
[0088] when Figure 13 When the display panel shown is operated to display an image, one or more dummy sub-pixels (DSPs) form a large non-emitting area. This large non-emitting area, in turn, results in a large diverging non-viewing area on the display side through the lens layer. When the pupil of the human eye is located in this large diverging non-viewing area, the sub-pixels in the pixel islands are not visible, making it impossible for the display components to achieve a naked-eye 3D display effect on the display side.
[0089] The inventors of this disclosure have discovered that the novel structure of the display panel according to this disclosure can effectively solve the problem. Figure 13 The problem shown. Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the distribution of pixel islands in a display panel according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. (Refer to...) Figure 15 The display panel comprises N rows of subpixels, including the nth row and the (n+i)th row, where N, n, and i are positive integers, 1 ≤ n ≤ N, and 1 ≤ i ≤ (N-1). In some embodiments, the pixels of the display panel comprise i subpixels. In one example, the pixels of the display panel comprise three subpixels (e.g., a red subpixel, a green subpixel, and a blue subpixel); and i = 3. In another example, i = 1. In yet another example, i > 1, such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10.
[0090] In some embodiments, the display panel includes a first pixel island PI1 located in the nth row. The first pixel island PI1 includes one or more first sub-pixels sp1 and m first dummy sub-pixels dsp1, where m is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. Optionally, along a first direction DR1, one or more first sub-pixels sp1 are followed by m first dummy sub-pixels dsp1. Optionally, the first direction DR1 is substantially parallel to the row direction of the sub-pixel array in the display panel. As used herein, the term "substantially parallel" means an angle in the range of 0 degrees to about 45 degrees, for example, 0 degrees to about 5 degrees, 0 degrees to about 10 degrees, 0 degrees to about 15 degrees, 0 degrees to about 20 degrees, 0 degrees to about 25 degrees, and 0 degrees to about 30 degrees.
[0091] In some embodiments, the display panel comprises a second pixel island PI2 located at the (n+i)th row, the second pixel island PI2 comprising one or more second sub-pixels sp2. In some embodiments, the one or more first sub-pixels sp1 in the first pixel island PI1 located at the nth row and the one or more second sub-pixels sp2 in the second pixel island PI2 located at the (n+i)th row are arranged with a relative displacement with respect to each other along the first direction DR1. Optionally, the first direction DR1 is substantially parallel to a row direction of the array of sub-pixels in the display panel.
[0092] In some embodiments, the one or more first sub-pixels sp1 in the first pixel island PI1 located at the nth row and the one or more second sub-pixels sp2 in the second pixel island PI2 located at the (n+i)th row have a same number of sub-pixels.
[0093] In some embodiments, the one or more first sub-pixels sp1 in the first pixel island PI1 located at the nth row and the one or more second sub-pixels sp2 in the second pixel island PI2 located at the (n+i)th row are sub-pixels of a same color.
[0094] In alternative embodiments, at least one of the one or more first sub-pixels sp1 in the first pixel island PI1 located at the nth row and at least one of the one or more second sub-pixels sp2 in the second pixel island PI2 located at the (n+i)th row are sub-pixels of different colors.
[0095] In some embodiments, the one or more first sub-pixels sp1 in the first pixel island PI1 located at the nth row and the one or more second sub-pixels sp2 in the second pixel island PI2 located at the (n+i)th row are arranged with a relative displacement with respect to each other along the first direction DR1, wherein the relative displacement is a relative displacement corresponding to m dummy sub-pixels (e.g., m first dummy sub-pixels). For example, the one or more first sub-pixels sp1 in the first pixel island PI1 located at the nth row are arranged in the kth column to the (k+j)th column, k being a positive integer, j being an integer greater than or equal to 0. The one or more second sub-pixels sp2 in the second pixel island PI2 located at the (n+i)th row are arranged in the (k+m)th column to the (k+j+m)th column.
[0096] In some embodiments, the second pixel island PI2 further comprises m second dummy sub-pixels dsp2. Optionally, along the first direction DR1, the one or more second sub-pixels sp2 are followed by the m second dummy sub-pixels dsp2. Optionally, the first direction DR1 is substantially parallel to a row direction of the array of sub-pixels in the display panel.
[0097] In some embodiments, the m first dummy sub-pixels dsp1 in the first pixel island PI1 located in the nth row are arranged with a relative displacement with respect to each other along the first direction DR1, and the m second dummy sub-pixels dsp2 in the second pixel island PI2 located in the (n+i)th row are arranged with a relative displacement with respect to each other along the first direction DR1. Optionally, the first direction DR1 is substantially parallel to a row direction of the array of sub-pixels in the display panel.
[0098] In some embodiments, the m first dummy sub-pixels dsp1 in the first pixel island PI1 located in the nth row are arranged with a relative displacement with respect to each other along the first direction DR1, and the m second dummy sub-pixels dsp2 in the second pixel island PI2 located in the (n+i)th row are arranged with a relative displacement with respect to each other along the first direction DR1, wherein the relative displacement is a relative displacement corresponding to m dummy sub-pixels (e.g., the m first dummy sub-pixels dsp1 or the m second dummy sub-pixels dsp2). For example, the m first dummy sub-pixels dsp1 in the first pixel island PI1 located in the nth row are arranged in the (k+j+1)th column to the (k+j+m)th column, k is a positive integer, j is an integer greater than or equal to 0, and m is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. The m second dummy sub-pixels dsp2 in the second pixel island PI2 located in the (n+i)th row are arranged in the (k+j+1+m)th column to the (k+j+2m)th column.
[0099] In some embodiments, the display panel comprises a plurality of first pixel islands (including the first pixel island PI1) arranged in sequence in the nth row, each of the plurality of first pixel islands comprising one or more first sub-pixels sp1 and m first dummy sub-pixels dsp1, m being a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. Optionally, along the first direction DR1, the one or more first sub-pixels sp1 are followed by the m first dummy sub-pixels dsp1. Optionally, the first direction DR1 is substantially parallel to a row direction of the array of sub-pixels in the display panel. In some embodiments, the display panel further comprises a plurality of second pixel islands (including the second pixel island PI2) arranged in sequence in the (n+i)th row, each of the plurality of second pixel islands comprising one or more second sub-pixels sp2 and m second dummy sub-pixels dsp2. Optionally, along the first direction DR1, the one or more second sub-pixels sp2 are followed by the m second dummy sub-pixels dsp2. Optionally, the first direction DR1 is substantially parallel to a row direction of the array of sub-pixels in the display panel.
[0100] In some embodiments, the one or more first sub-pixels sp1 in the respective first pixel island located at the nth row and the one or more second sub-pixels sp2 in the respective second pixel island located at the (n+i)th row are arranged with a relative displacement with respect to each other along the first direction DR1. Optionally, the first direction DR1 is substantially parallel to a row direction of the array of sub-pixels in the display panel. In some embodiments, the one or more first sub-pixels sp1 in the respective first pixel island located at the nth row and the one or more second sub-pixels sp2 in the respective second pixel island located at the (n+i)th row are arranged with a relative displacement with respect to each other along the first direction DR1, wherein the relative displacement is a relative displacement corresponding to m dummy sub-pixels (e.g., m first dummy sub-pixels or m second dummy sub-pixels). For example, the one or more first sub-pixels sp1 in the respective first pixel island located at the nth row are arranged in the kth column to the (k+j)th column, k is a positive integer, and j is an integer greater than or equal to 0. The one or more second sub-pixels sp2 in the respective second pixel island located at the (n+i)th row are arranged in the (k+m)th column to the (k+j+m)th column.
[0101] In some embodiments, the m first dummy sub-pixels dsp1 in the respective first pixel island located at the nth row and the m second dummy sub-pixels dsp2 in the respective second pixel island located at the (n+i)th row are arranged with a relative displacement with respect to each other along the first direction DR1.

[0136] It can be further generalized that Figures 16 to 18The method of operation described in the middle. In some embodiments, each row (e.g., the nth row) of N rows of sub-pixels in the display panel includes x pixel islands. The total number of rows of sub-pixels is N. Each of the x pixel islands includes m dummy sub-pixels and p sub-pixels. The total number of sub-pixels and dummy sub-pixels in each row (e.g., the nth row) is x x (m + p). The total number of dummy sub-pixels in each row (e.g., the nth row) is x x m. The total number of sub-pixels in each row (e.g., the nth row) is x x p. In one example, in the nth row, the total number of dummy sub-pixels that need to be compensated for is x x m.

[0138] In some embodiments, the N1 rows of sub-pixels are not consecutive rows in the N rows of sub-pixels. For example, two adjacent rows in the N1 rows of sub-pixels can be spaced apart by i rows of sub-pixels that are not rows in the N1 rows of sub-pixels, i being a positive integer, 1 ≤ n ≤ N, and 1 ≤ i ≤ (N - 1). In some embodiments, a pixel of the display panel includes i sub-pixels. In one example, a pixel of the display panel includes three sub-pixels (e.g., a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel); and i = 3. In another example, i = 1.

For example, an nth1 pixel island in the N1 pixels, 1 < n1≤ N1, n1, N are positive integers, includes at least one compensation sub-pixel configured to compensate for the (n1-1)th pixel island. Optionally, a first pixel island in a first row in the N1 rows of the N1 pixels is compensated by at least one sub-pixel in a second pixel island in a second row in the N1 rows of the N1 pixels, but no sub-pixel in the first pixel island is configured to compensate for any pixel island.

[0146] As used herein, the term “compensation row” refers to a row in which all sub-pixels in the row are compensation sub-pixels configured to compensate for pixel islands in rows other than the compensation row.
[0147] Due to the presence of the compensation row in the display panel, the resolution of the display panel along the column direction is less than N rows. In some embodiments, the resolution of the display panel along the column direction is y rows.
