[0042] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present application will be described in detail below. In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only configured to explain the present application and are not configured to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only to provide a better understanding of the present application by illustrating the examples of the present application.
[0043] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the statement "include..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.
[0044] It should be understood that when describing the structure of a component, when a layer or a region is referred to as being "on" or "over" another layer or another region, it may mean that it is directly on the other layer or another region, or that other layers or regions are included between it and the other layer or another region. Moreover, if the component is turned over, the layer or a region will be "below" or "beneath" another layer or another region.
[0045] Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED) and flat-panel display devices based on technologies such as Light Emitting Diode (LED) have been widely used in various consumer electronic products such as mobile phones, televisions, laptops, desktop computers, etc. due to their advantages such as high image quality, power saving, thin body and wide application range, becoming the mainstream in display devices.
[0046] In the related art, in order to better realize the display function and photosensitivity function of the display device, the display panel in the display device is often divided into multiple display areas with different light transmittances, wherein the photosensitive component of the display device can be arranged under the display area with higher light transmittance in the display panel, so that the photosensitive component can receive or emit light information through the display panel. However, the display brightness of the display area with higher light transmittance is often lower than the display brightness of the display area with lower light transmittance, so that when the display panel is emitting light, different display intervals are prone to produce certain brightness differences, which reduces the display effect of the display panel.
