Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display panel and display device. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for high screen-to-body ratios, full-screen displays and narrow bezels have become the mainstream design trend. Among related technologies, an under-display camera (UDC) technology has been proposed, in which the camera is placed under the screen. UDC technology eliminates the need to place the camera on the bezel of smartphones and other devices, thus enabling full-screen devices. Generally, to achieve high image quality, the light transmittance of the screen needs to be increased. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a display panel and display device to address the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a display panel, including:

[0005] The light-transmitting display area includes multiple first areas arranged in an array; each first area includes at least one opening area and at least one pixel area, and the display panel has at least one sub-hole in the opening area; the pixel area includes at least one first sub-pixel, at least one second sub-pixel and at least one third sub-pixel; the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel are used to emit light of different colors.

[0006] The display panel provided in this application embodiment includes a light-transmitting display area comprising a plurality of first regions arranged in an array. Each first region includes at least one aperture region and a pixel region. The pixel region includes at least one first sub-pixel, at least one second sub-pixel, and at least one third sub-pixel. The aperture region has at least one sub-aperture. This improves the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area and allows the sub-pixels within the pixel region to form an RGB unit for light emission, thus ensuring the display effect within the first region. In summary, this application can improve the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area while maximizing its display effect.

[0007] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a display panel having a display area and a light-transmitting display area; the display panel includes:

[0008] Substrate; and

[0009] A partition structure is provided on one side of the substrate. The partition structure has multiple partition openings and multiple light-transmitting openings. The partition openings are located in the display area and the light-transmitting display area, and the partition openings are used to set sub-pixels. The light-transmitting openings are located in the light-transmitting display area, and the area of ​​the light-transmitting openings is larger than the area of ​​any partition opening.

[0010] The display panel provided in this application embodiment features a partition opening and a light-transmitting opening within the light-transmitting display area. The partition opening can be configured with sub-pixels, while the light-transmitting opening allows ambient light to pass through. Thus, on one hand, the light-transmitting opening within the light-transmitting display area improves the light transmittance of the area; on the other hand, the partition opening within the light-transmitting display area can be configured with sub-pixels, thereby ensuring a certain display effect in the light-transmitting display area. In summary, this application can improve the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area while simultaneously ensuring its display effect.

[0011] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a display device including the display panel described in either the first or second aspect. This display device can improve the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area while also ensuring the display effect of the light-transmitting display area.

[0047] Patents PCT / CN2023 / 134518, 202310909421.5, 202311616249.0, 202310773656.6, 202310707209.0, 202311346196.5, and 202310692671.8 describe relevant technical solutions for partition structures, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0048] Firstly, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application embodiment provides a display panel 10, which includes a light-transmitting display area 10b. The light-transmitting display area 10b includes a plurality of first regions 10b1, and the plurality of first regions 10b1 are arranged in an array. The first region 10b1 includes at least one opening region 10b11 and at least one pixel region 10b12. The display panel 10 has at least one sub-hole 15 in the opening region 10b11. The pixel region 10b12 includes at least one first sub-pixel 121a, at least one second sub-pixel 121b, and at least one third sub-pixel 121c. The first sub-pixel 121a, the second sub-pixel 121b, and the third sub-pixel 121c are respectively used to emit light of different colors.

[0049] Understandably, the under-display camera of the display device can be located in the light-transmitting display area 10b. The shape of the light-transmitting display area 10b can be circular, rectangular, triangular, pentagonal, etc.

[0050] It should be noted that the shape of the first region 10b1 in the accompanying drawings of this application embodiment is only schematic and does not mean that the shape of the first region 10b1 must be as shown in the drawings. It is understood that the shape of the first region 10b1 can be a regular shape or an irregular shape. Within the first region 10b1, the aperture area 10b11 is the area used to create apertures (such as setting sub-apertures 15) to improve light transmittance, and the pixel area 10b12 is the area used to set sub-pixels 121. The first sub-pixel 121a, the second sub-pixel 121b, and the third sub-pixel 121c can be one of the following: red sub-pixel 121, blue sub-pixel 121, and green sub-pixel 121, respectively.

[0051] The display panel 10 provided in this application embodiment includes a light-transmitting display area 10b comprising a plurality of first regions 10b1 arranged in an array. Each first region 10b1 includes at least one aperture region 10b11 and a pixel region 10b12. The pixel region 10b12 includes at least one first sub-pixel 121a, at least one second sub-pixel 121b, and at least one third sub-pixel 121c. The aperture region 10b11 is provided with at least one sub-hole 15. This improves the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area 10b and allows the sub-pixels 121 within the pixel region 10b12 to form an RGB unit for light emission, thus ensuring the display effect within the first region 10b1. In summary, this application can improve the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area 10b while maximizing its display effect.

[0052] In one embodiment, the area of ​​the aperture region 10b11 is greater than or equal to the area of ​​any one of the sub-pixels 121. The sub-pixel 121 is any one of the first sub-pixel 121a, the second sub-pixel 121b, and the third sub-pixel 121c. Further, the area of ​​the aperture region 10b11 is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the first sub-pixel 121a, the area of ​​the aperture region 10b11 is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the second sub-pixel 121b, and the area of ​​the aperture region 10b11 is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the third sub-pixel 121c.

[0053] In this way, the area of ​​the opening region 10b11 can be large enough to facilitate the opening of a larger sub-hole 15 within the opening region 10b11, thereby improving the light transmittance. It is worth noting that in related technologies, holes are opened between adjacent sub-pixels to improve light transmittance, such as ambient light holes and fingerprint holes, but their opening areas are small and their light transmittance is relatively low compared to this application, which cannot meet the light transmittance requirements of under-display camera technology.

[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the aperture region 10b11 includes multiple sub-apertures 15. This allows for a larger total area of ​​the actual aperture region within the aperture region 10b11, thereby improving light transmittance.

[0055] In one embodiment, the pixel region 10b12 includes at least one pixel unit 12, wherein the pixel unit 12 includes a first sub-pixel 121a, a second sub-pixel 121b and a third sub-pixel 121c, or the pixel unit 12 includes a first sub-pixel 121a, a second sub-pixel 121b and two third sub-pixels 121c.

[0056] It should be noted that the pixel unit 12 in this embodiment is used to emit colored light and is composed of red sub-pixels 121, green sub-pixels 121 and blue sub-pixels 121. In this way, the sub-pixels 121 in the pixel area 10b12 can form a pixel unit 12 (RGB unit) to emit light, thereby ensuring the display effect in the first area 10b1.

[0057] In one embodiment, the aperture area 10b11 is provided with a plurality of sub-apertures 15, and the number of sub-apertures 15 is an integer multiple of the number of sub-pixels 121 contained in a pixel unit 12. The sub-pixels 121 include a first sub-pixel 121a, a second sub-pixel 121b, and a third sub-pixel 121c. For example, if a pixel unit 12 contains 3 sub-pixels 121, then the number of sub-apertures 15 can be 3, 6, 9, 12, etc.

[0058] This makes it easier to have a larger total area of ​​the actual opening area within the opening region 10b11, which in turn helps to improve the light transmittance.

[0059] Optionally, the plurality of sub-holes 15 include at least one first sub-hole 15a, at least one second sub-hole 15b, and at least one third sub-hole 15c; the first sub-hole 15a corresponds to the first sub-pixel 121a; the second sub-hole 15b corresponds to the second sub-pixel 121b; and the third sub-hole 15c corresponds to the third sub-pixel 121c. It should be noted that the sub-pixels 121 are usually arranged in a certain pattern. This is equivalent to removing the first sub-pixel 121a, the second sub-pixel 121b, and the third sub-pixel 121c originally located in the aperture area 10b11, thereby matching the setting area of ​​the sub-holes 15 with the setting positions of each sub-pixel 121 (first sub-pixel 121a, second sub-pixel 121b, and third sub-pixel 121c), which helps to make the arrangement of the sub-holes 15 more regular, thus improving the consistency of light transmission performance.

[0060] Optionally, the arrangement pattern of the multiple sub-holes 15 in the aperture area 10b11 is the same as the arrangement pattern of the sub-pixels 121 in a pixel unit 12 in the pixel area 10b12. In this way, the arrangement of the sub-holes 15 can be more regular, which not only helps to improve the consistency of light transmission performance, but also helps to reduce the difficulty of setting the sub-holes 15.

[0061] Optionally, the area of ​​the first sub-hole 15a is equal to the area of ​​the first sub-pixel 121a; the area of ​​the second sub-hole 15b is equal to the area of ​​the second sub-pixel 121b; and the area of ​​the third sub-hole 15c is equal to the area of ​​the third sub-pixel 121c. This allows the setting area of ​​the sub-holes 15 to match the setting positions of each sub-pixel 121 (first sub-pixel 121a, second sub-pixel 121b, and third sub-pixel 121c), which helps to make the arrangement of the sub-holes 15 more regular, thereby improving the consistency of light transmission performance, ensuring the information captured by the subsequent under-display camera, and also ensuring the display effect.

[0062] In one embodiment, the area of ​​the aperture region 10b11 is greater than or equal to the area of ​​a pixel unit region in the corresponding first region 10b1, and all sub-pixels 121 in the pixel unit 12 are located within the pixel unit region; here, the pixel unit region refers to the area where the pixel unit 12 is located.

[0063] In this way, the area of ​​the opening region 10b11 can be large enough to facilitate the setting of the sub-hole 15 in the opening region 10b11.

[0064] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the aperture area 10b11 is provided with a sub-aperture 15; the area of ​​a sub-aperture 15 is greater than or equal to the sum of the areas of all sub-pixels 121 in a pixel unit 12 in the corresponding first area 10b1. This effectively makes the area of ​​a sub-aperture 15 sufficiently large, thus reducing the number of sub-apertures 15 while maintaining the same total aperture area, thereby lowering the manufacturing cost of the sub-apertures 15; simultaneously, it further improves light transmittance, which is beneficial for under-display camera information acquisition.

[0065] Optionally, the shape of the aperture region 10b11 corresponds to the outline of a pixel unit region in the first region 10b1. For example, the outline of a pixel unit region is an equilateral triangle, and the outline of the aperture region 10b11 is also an equilateral triangle. Alternatively, the outline of a pixel unit region may be T-shaped, as shown in the reference [reference needed]. Figure 11 The outline of the opening region 10b11 is T-shaped.

[0066] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the morphology of the aperture region 10b11 is the same as that of a sub-aperture 15. In one example, morphology can be understood as shape. In this way, it is equivalent to making the entire area of ​​the aperture region 10b11 an aperture. This allows the aperture area to be large enough to improve light transmittance, while reducing the number of sub-apertures 15, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the sub-apertures 15.

[0067] Optionally, the pixel region 10b12 is provided with multiple pixel units 12, and the morphology of the aperture region 10b11 is the same as the morphology of the pixel unit region corresponding to one of the pixel units 12. Specifically, as shown in... Figure 2 As shown, the morphology of the aperture region 10b11 is the same as the morphology of the pixel unit region corresponding to the pixel unit 12 located below the aperture region 10b11. Of course, the other pixel units 12 in this pixel region 10b12 can also be considered as being obtained by rotating the pixel unit 12 by a certain angle.

[0068] Optionally, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the first region 10b1 includes multiple opening areas 10b11. This helps to increase the opening area, thereby improving the light transmittance.

[0069] Optionally, the opening areas 10b11 within the same first region 10b1 have the same shape. Alternatively, the opening areas 10b11 within the same first region 10b1 have different shapes. In this way, when making openings, it is easier for process manufacturers to set the opening areas 10b11 according to actual needs, thereby reducing the difficulty of arranging and setting the opening areas 10b11.

[0070] Optionally, refer to Figure 5 As shown, a sub-pixel 121 is also provided between two adjacent first regions 10b1. The sub-pixel 121 can be at least one of the first sub-pixel 121a, the second sub-pixel 121b, and the third sub-pixel 121c.

[0071] Optionally, at least one pixel unit 12 is also provided between two adjacent first regions 10b1. In this way, the number of pixel units 12 in the light-transmitting display area 10b can be increased, which is beneficial to improving the display performance in the light-transmitting display area 10b.

[0072] In one embodiment, pixel unit 12 includes a first sub-pixel 121a, a second sub-pixel 121b, and a third sub-pixel 121c. The centroids of the first sub-pixel 121a, the second sub-pixel 121b, and the third sub-pixel 121c within the same pixel unit 12 form a triangle. This facilitates the formation of a pixel unit 12 (RGB unit) within the pixel area 10b12 to emit light, thereby ensuring the display effect within the first area 10b1.

[0073] Optionally, the aperture area 10b11 is triangular in shape. This allows the shape of the aperture area 10b11 to better match the arrangement of the pixel units 12, maximizing the area of ​​the aperture area 10b11 and thus improving light transmittance. It should be noted that due to manufacturing process limitations, the shape of the aperture area 10b11 can be close to or similar to a triangle.

[0074] Or, refer to Figure 11 As shown, the aperture area 10b11 is T-shaped. Thus, the three sub-pixels 121 of pixel unit 12 are arranged in a T-shape. This arrangement allows the shape of the aperture area 10b11 to better match the arrangement of the pixel unit 12, maximizing the area of ​​the aperture area 10b11 and thereby improving light transmittance. It should be noted that due to manufacturing process limitations, the shape of the aperture area 10b11 can be close to or similar to a T-shape.

[0075] Optionally, the first sub-pixel 121a is used to emit blue light; the second sub-pixel 121b is used to emit green light; and the first sub-pixel 121a is used to emit red light.

[0076] In one embodiment, reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, pixel unit 12 includes a first sub-pixel 121a, a second sub-pixel 121b, and a third sub-pixel 121c. Within the same pixel unit 12, the first sub-pixel 121a and the second sub-pixel 121b are arranged along the column direction, and the third sub-pixel 121c is located on one side of the first sub-pixel 121a and the second sub-pixel 121b. Furthermore, along the row direction, the orthographic projection of the third sub-pixel 121c onto the plane perpendicular to the row direction overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first sub-pixel 121a onto the same plane. This design helps to increase the aperture ratio, thereby improving the display effect.

[0077] Optionally, the distance between the side of the first sub-pixel 121a away from the second sub-pixel 121b and the side of the second sub-pixel 121b away from the first sub-pixel 121a is equal to the length of the third sub-pixel 121c in the column direction. This helps to make full use of the space in the column direction of the pixel unit 12, which helps to increase the aperture ratio and thus improve the display effect.

[0078] Optionally, the opening area 10b11 is rectangular in shape. For example, the opening area 10b11 can be square or rectangular.

[0079] Optionally, the first sub-pixel 121a is used to emit red light; the second sub-pixel 121b is used to emit green light; and the third sub-pixel 121c is used to emit blue light.

[0080] In one embodiment, reference Figure 8 , Figure 9A and Figure 10As shown, pixel unit 12 includes a first sub-pixel 121a, a second sub-pixel 121b, and two third sub-pixels 121c; wherein the first sub-pixel 121a and the second sub-pixel 121b are arranged along a first column, and the two third sub-pixels 121c are also arranged along a second column. That is, the first sub-pixel 121a and the second sub-pixel 121b are arranged along a second direction Y to form a first column, and the two third sub-pixels 121c are arranged along a second direction Y to form a second column, with the second column located to the right of the first column. The centroid line connecting the first sub-pixel 121a, the second sub-pixel 121b, and the third sub-pixel 121c within a pixel unit 12 forms a quadrilateral.

[0081] In this way, the sub-pixels 121 within the pixel area 10b12 can form a pixel unit 12 (RGB unit) to emit light, thereby ensuring the display effect within the first area 10b1.

[0082] Optionally, the first sub-pixel 121a and the third sub-pixel 121c are not in the same row, and the second sub-pixel 121b and the third sub-pixel 121c are also not in the same row. Specifically, the first sub-pixel 121a and the second sub-pixel 121b are located in odd-numbered rows, and the two third sub-pixels 121c are located in even-numbered rows. This is equivalent to misaligning the third sub-pixel 121c with the first sub-pixel 121a, and also misaligning the third sub-pixel 121c with the second sub-pixel 121b. This facilitates the mixing of light from the three sub-pixels 121, thereby improving the display effect.

[0083] Optionally, the first sub-pixel 121a is used to emit red light; the second sub-pixel 121b is used to emit blue light; and the third sub-pixel 121c is used to emit green light.

[0084] Optionally, the aperture area 10b11 is Z-shaped. This arrangement allows the shape of the aperture area 10b11 to better match the arrangement of the pixel units 12, which helps to maximize the area of ​​the aperture area 10b11 and thus improve light transmittance.

[0085] It should be noted that, due to the influence of the manufacturing process, the shape of the opening area 10b11 here can be close to a Z-shape, or similar to a Z-shape.

[0086] In one embodiment, the display panel 10 further includes a display area 10a located at least on one side of the light-transmitting display area 10b. The display area 10a includes a plurality of second regions 10a1 arranged in an array. Each second region 10a1 includes a plurality of sub-pixels 121, and the plurality of sub-pixels 121 includes a plurality of first sub-pixels 121a, a plurality of second sub-pixels 121b, and a plurality of third sub-pixels 121c. The second region 10a1 includes at least one first sub-region 10a11 and a second sub-region 10a12, and the second sub-region 10a12 includes at least one first sub-region 10a11 and a second sub-region 10a12. The display area includes a first sub-pixel 121a, at least one second sub-pixel 121b, and at least one third sub-pixel 121c. The first region 10b1 located in the light-transmitting display area 10b corresponds to the second region 10a1 located in the display area 10a. The aperture region 10b11 corresponds to the first sub-region 10a11, and the pixel region 10b12 corresponds to the second sub-region 10a12. The arrangement pattern of the sub-pixels 121 in the pixel region 10b12 is the same as the pixel arrangement pattern in the second sub-region 10a12, which is beneficial to improving the display effect.

[0087] It is understood that the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area 10b is greater than that of the display area 10a. For example, the display area 10a may be disposed around the light-transmitting display area 10b.

[0088] Here, through comparison Figure 2 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the pixel arrangement of the second region 10a1 differs from that of the first region 10b1 in that the aperture area 10b11 and the first sub-region 10a11 are different. Assuming that a conventional display panel 10 (a display panel 10 without the aperture area 10b11) includes multiple second regions 10a1 arranged in an array, this embodiment is equivalent to removing the sub-pixels 121 in the first sub-region 10a11 of the second region 10a1 located in the light-transmitting display area 10b. This is beneficial for improving the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area 10b.

[0089] It should be noted that the arrangement pattern of sub-pixels 121 located in the pixel area 10b12 may differ from the pixel arrangement pattern located in the second sub-area 10a12. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0090] Optionally, the first sub-region 10a11 includes at least one first sub-pixel 121a, at least one second sub-pixel 121b, and at least one third sub-pixel 121c. Thus, it can be considered that at least one first sub-pixel 121a, at least one second sub-pixel 121b, and at least one third sub-pixel 121c in the region where the aperture region 10b11 is located are removed. That is, when the sub-pixel 121 is finally formed, no corresponding sub-pixel 121 is formed in this region to emit light. This allows the aperture region 10b11 to have a larger area, which is beneficial for improving light transmittance.

[0091] In one embodiment, the pixel region 10b12 includes at least one pixel unit 12, wherein the pixel unit 12 includes a first sub-pixel 121a, a second sub-pixel 121b and a third sub-pixel 121c, or the pixel unit 12 includes a first sub-pixel 121a, a second sub-pixel 121b and two third sub-pixels 121c.

[0092] It should be noted that the pixel unit 12 in this embodiment is used to emit colored light and is composed of red sub-pixels, green sub-pixels, and blue sub-pixels. In this way, the sub-pixels 121 within the pixel area 10b12 can form a pixel unit 12 (RGB unit) to emit light, thereby ensuring the display effect.

[0093] Optionally, the first sub-region 10a11 includes at least one pixel unit 12. Thus, it can be considered that at least one pixel unit 12 in the region where the aperture region 10b11 is located is removed, which can make the area of ​​the aperture region 10b11 larger, which is beneficial to improving light transmittance.

[0094] Optionally, multiple second regions 10a1 are arranged along the first direction X. This allows the second regions 10a1 to be arranged in a more regular pattern, which helps to ensure the display effect.

[0095] Optionally, multiple second regions 10a1 are arranged along a second direction Y, which intersects with the first direction X. This allows for a more regular arrangement of the second regions 10a112a, which helps ensure a better display effect. Preferably, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0096] Optionally, multiple first regions 10b1 are arranged along a first direction X and / or a second direction Y. This not only makes the arrangement of the first regions 10b1 more regular, but also makes the arrangement pattern of the first regions 10b1 the same as that of the second regions 10a1, which helps to ensure the display effect.

[0097] Optionally, in the plurality of first regions 10b1, the positions of the opening areas 10b11 in any two first regions 10b1 are the same relative to their positions within the first region 10b1. This effectively makes the positions of the opening areas 10b11 identical in each first region 10b1. This helps to make the arrangement of the opening areas 10b11 more regular and reduces the difficulty of drilling.

[0098] Alternatively, the positions of the opening areas 10b11 in at least two first regions 10b1 are different from their positions within the first region 10b1. This is equivalent to setting the opening areas 10b11 in at least two first regions 10b1 with different positions, which allows designers to adjust the positions of the opening areas 10b11 according to actual needs, thereby facilitating the fulfillment of different opening requirements.

[0099] Optionally, the second region 10a1 includes a plurality of pixel units 12, and a portion of sub-pixels 121 of the first sub-region 10a11 corresponding to the aperture region 10b11 is part of one of the pixel units 12, and another portion of sub-pixels 121 of the first sub-region 10a11 is part of another pixel unit 12.

[0100] This is equivalent to removing a portion of one pixel unit 12 and a portion of another pixel unit 12. That is, the removed sub-pixel 121 does not contain one or more complete pixel units 12. This allows designers to adjust the position of the aperture area 10b11 according to actual needs, thereby facilitating the fulfillment of different aperture requirements.

[0101] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the first region 10b1 includes an opening region 10b11. This minimizes the number of opening regions 10b11 in the first region 10b1, which is beneficial to improving the display effect of the light-transmitting display area 10b.

[0102] Optionally, the pixel region 10b12 includes multiple pixel units 12; wherein, the pixel unit 12 includes a first sub-pixel 121a, a second sub-pixel 121b, and a third sub-pixel 121c. This helps to increase the aperture ratio of the first region 10b1, thereby improving the display effect.

[0103] Optionally, the pixel area 10b12 includes three pixel units 12. In this way, the display effect of the light-transmitting display area 10b can be maximized.

[0104] Optionally, the first sub-region 10a11 corresponding to the aperture area 10b11 includes one pixel unit 12; the second sub-region 10a12 includes three pixel units 12. This is equivalent to removing one pixel unit 12 from the first region 10b1, while retaining three pixel units 12 in the pixel region 10b12. Thus, while ensuring the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area 10b, the display effect of the light-transmitting display area 10b can be maximized.

[0105] Optionally, such as Figure 2As shown, among the three pixel units 12 in the pixel area 10b12, one pixel unit 12 (the pixel unit 12 located in the upper right corner) is located on one side of the aperture area 10b11 along the first direction X, another pixel unit 12 (the pixel unit 12 located in the lower left corner) is located on one side of the aperture area 10b11 along the second direction Y, and another pixel unit 12 (the pixel unit 12 located in the lower right corner) is located on one side of the first pixel unit 12 (the pixel unit 12 located in the upper right corner) along the second direction Y, and the other pixel unit 12 (the pixel unit 12 located in the lower left corner) is located on one side of the first direction X. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect.

[0106] In this way, on the one hand, while ensuring the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area 10b, the display effect of the light-transmitting display area 10b can be maximized; on the other hand, it can make the two adjacent opening areas 10b11 along the first direction X closer together, which is conducive to improving the light transmission effect.

[0107] Optionally, the centroids of the first sub-pixel 121a, the second sub-pixel 121b, and the third sub-pixel 121c within the same pixel unit 12 are connected by a triangle. This facilitates the formation of a pixel unit 12 (RGB unit) by the sub-pixels 121 within the pixel area 10b12 to emit light, thereby ensuring the display effect within the first area 10b1.

[0108] Optionally, refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, along the first direction X, the first sub-pixel 121a, the second sub-pixel 121b, and the third sub-pixel 121c are arranged in sequence, and along the second direction Y, multiple first sub-pixels 121a, multiple second sub-pixels 121b, and multiple third sub-pixels 121c are arranged in sequence.

[0109] Optionally, the shape of the aperture area 10b11 can be triangular. This allows the shape of the aperture area 10b11 to better match the arrangement of the pixel units 12, maximizing the area of ​​the aperture area 10b11 and thus improving light transmittance. It should be noted that due to manufacturing process limitations, the shape of the aperture area 10b11 can be close to or similar to a triangle.

[0110] Alternatively, the aperture area 10b11 can be T-shaped. In this way, the three sub-pixels 121 of pixel unit 12 are arranged in a T-shape. This arrangement allows the shape of the aperture area 10b11 to better match the arrangement of pixel unit 12, maximizing the area of ​​the aperture area 10b11 and thus improving light transmittance. It should be noted that due to manufacturing process limitations, the shape of the aperture area 10b11 can be close to or similar to a T-shape.

[0111] Optionally, the first sub-pixel 121a is used to emit blue light; the second sub-pixel 121b is used to emit green light; and the first sub-pixel 121a is used to emit red light.

[0112] Optionally, in two adjacent first regions 10b1 along the first direction X, the opening regions 10b11 of the two first regions 10b1 are adjacent to each other. This helps to concentrate the opening regions 10b11, thereby further improving the light transmittance.

[0113] Optional, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, along the second direction Y, the first sub-pixel 121a and the second sub-pixel 121b are arranged sequentially, and the third sub-pixel 121c is arranged sequentially. Within the same pixel unit 12, along the first direction X, the orthographic projection of the third sub-pixel 121c onto the plane perpendicular to the first direction X overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first sub-pixel 121a onto the same plane. This arrangement helps to increase the aperture ratio, thereby improving the display effect.

[0114] Optionally, within the same pixel unit 12, the distance between the side of the first sub-pixel 121a away from the second sub-pixel 121b and the side of the second sub-pixel 121b away from the first sub-pixel 121a is equal to the length of the third sub-pixel 121c in the second direction Y. This facilitates full utilization of the space in the column direction of the pixel unit 12, improves the aperture ratio, and thus enhances the display effect.

[0115] Optionally, the opening area 10b11 is rectangular in shape. For example, the opening area 10b11 can be square or rectangular.

[0116] Optionally, the first sub-pixel 121a is used to emit red light; the second sub-pixel 121b is used to emit green light; and the third sub-pixel 121c is used to emit blue light.

[0117] In one embodiment, the pixel region 10b12 includes at least one pixel unit 12, wherein the pixel unit 12 includes a first sub-pixel 121a, a second sub-pixel 121b, and two third sub-pixels 121c. This improves the display effect of the light-transmitting display region 10b.

[0118] Optionally, the first sub-region 10a11 corresponding to the aperture region 10b11 includes at least one pixel unit 12. Thus, it can be considered that at least one pixel unit 12 in the region where the aperture region 10b11 is located is removed, which can make the area of ​​the aperture region 10b11 larger, which is beneficial to improving light transmittance.

[0119] Optionally, refer to Figure 9A and Figure 9B As shown, the second region 10a1 includes multiple pixel units 12; two first sub-pixels 121a are located at the two first vertices of the first virtual quadrilateral e, and two second sub-pixels 121b are located at the two second vertices of the first virtual quadrilateral e; the two first vertices and the two second vertices are alternately and spaced apart; a third sub-pixel 121c is located within the first virtual quadrilateral e. Thus, the sub-pixels 121 within the second region 10a1 are arranged in a tripod pixel arrangement. For specific pixel arrangement details, please refer to patent CN112802884A.

[0120] Optionally, the first virtual quadrilateral is an isosceles trapezoid.

[0121] Optionally, the first sub-pixel 121a is used to emit red light; the second sub-pixel 121b is used to emit blue light; and the third sub-pixel 121c is used to emit green light.

[0122] Optionally, the pixel area 10b12 includes multiple pixel units 12. This helps to increase the aperture ratio, thereby improving the display effect.

[0123] Optionally, the opening area 10b11 is Z-shaped. It should be noted that, due to the influence of the manufacturing process, the shape of the opening area 10b11 can be close to or similar to a Z-shape.

[0124] In one embodiment, reference Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the first region 10b1 includes a plurality of opening regions 10b11. This is beneficial for increasing the opening area within the first region 10b1, thereby improving light transmittance. Exemplarily, the number of opening regions 10b11 can be one, two, three, or more.

[0125] Furthermore, the second region 10a1 includes multiple first sub-regions 10a11, and the second region 10a1 includes multiple pixel units 12. Each pixel unit 12 includes a first sub-pixel 121a, a second sub-pixel 121b, and a third sub-pixel 121c; or, the pixel unit 12 includes a first sub-pixel 121a, a second sub-pixel 121b, and two third sub-pixels 121c. It should be noted that the pixel unit 12 in this embodiment is used to emit colored light and is composed of a red sub-pixel 121, a green sub-pixel 121, and a blue sub-pixel 121. This allows the sub-pixels 121 within the second region 10a1 to form a pixel unit 12 (RGB unit) for light emission, thereby ensuring the display effect within the first region 10b1.

[0126] Furthermore, such as Figure 14 As shown, at least one of the first sub-regions 10a11 (the first sub-region 10a11 located on the right) has a portion of sub-pixels 121 that are part of one of the pixel units 12, and another portion of sub-pixels 121 of the first sub-region 10a11 is part of another pixel unit 12.

[0127] Optionally, refer to Figure 13 As shown, the plurality of aperture areas 10b11 include at least one first sub-aperture area 10b111 and at least one second sub-aperture area 10b112; at least one first sub-aperture area 10b111 and / or at least one second sub-aperture area 10b112 are adjacent to the pixel area 10b12. This arrangement facilitates a more uniform distribution of the aperture areas 10b11 and the pixel areas 10b12 in the first region 10b1, which helps to improve both light transmittance and display performance.

[0128] Optionally, the plurality of first sub-regions 10a11 include at least one sub-region 10a111 and at least one sub-region 10a112, wherein the first sub-region 10a111 corresponds to the first sub-hole region 10b111, and the second sub-region 10a112 corresponds to the second sub-region 10a12.

[0129] Thus, when removing sub-pixel 121, it is equivalent to removing the sub-pixel 121 corresponding to sub-region 10a111 and sub-region 2 10a112. This allows for more methods to remove sub-pixel 121 within the second region 10a1, making it easier for process operators to choose according to actual needs.

[0130] Optionally, at least one portion of sub-pixels 121 of a first sub-region 10a11 corresponding to one of the aperture regions 10b11 is part of one of the pixel units 12, and another portion of sub-pixels 121 of the first sub-region 10a11 is part of another pixel unit 12. (Combined) Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, a portion of sub-pixels 121 in sub-region 2 10a112 corresponding to the second sub-aperture region 10b112 are part of one pixel unit 12, and another portion of sub-pixels 121 in sub-region 2 10a112 are part of another pixel unit 12.

[0131] In one embodiment, reference Figure 15 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the pixel area 10b12 includes multiple pixel units 12, and the first sub-hole area 10b111 and the second sub-hole area 10b112 are both adjacent to the corresponding pixel area 10b12. This helps to make the aperture area 10b11 and the pixel area 10b12 more evenly distributed in the first region 10b1, which is beneficial to improving the light transmittance and the display effect.

[0132] Optionally, the multiple opening areas 10b11 include a first sub-hole area 10b111 and a second sub-hole area 10b112. This makes the opening methods in the first area 10b1 more diverse, which is convenient for process operators to make openings in the first area 10b1 according to actual needs.

[0133] Optionally, sub-region one 10a111 corresponding to the first sub-aperture region 10b111 includes a pixel unit 12, and sub-region two 10a112 corresponding to the second sub-aperture region 10b112 includes a pixel unit 12. This is equivalent to removing a complete pixel unit 12. On the one hand, this allows for a larger area of ​​the aperture region 10b11, which is beneficial for improving light transmittance; on the other hand, compared to removing a portion of the sub-pixels 121 from the pixel unit 12, removing a complete pixel unit 12 prevents the retention of some sub-pixels 121 from causing color shift or chromatic aberration during light emission.

[0134] Optionally, the pixel region 10b12 includes two pixel units 12. This helps to increase the aperture ratio of the first region 10b1, thereby improving the display effect.

[0135] Optionally, such as Figure 15 As shown, in the pixel area 10b12, one pixel unit 12 (the pixel unit 12 in the upper right corner) is located on one side of the first sub-hole area 10b111 along the first direction X, and the second sub-hole area 10b112 is located on one side of the pixel unit 12 (the pixel unit 12 in the upper right corner) along the second direction Y; the other pixel unit 12 (the pixel unit 12 in the lower left corner) is located on one side of the first sub-hole area 10b111 along the second direction Y, and the second sub-hole area 10b112 is located on one side of the other pixel unit 12 along the first direction X. In this way, the pixel units 12 in the first area 10b1 and the aperture area 10b11 are arranged relatively evenly, ensuring the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area 10b while maximizing the display effect of the light-transmitting display area 10b.

[0136] Or, refer to Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, two pixel units 12 are adjacent along the first direction X, and the first sub-aperture region 10b111 and the second sub-aperture region 10b112 are adjacent along the first direction X. This helps to concentrate the aperture regions 10b11, thereby further improving the light transmittance.

[0137] Optionally, refer to Figure 20 As shown, pixel region 10b12 includes four pixel units 12.

[0138] Optionally, the three pixel units 12 within the pixel region 10b12 are arranged sequentially along the first direction X, and the first sub-hole region 10b111 and the second sub-hole region 10b112 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, with the first sub-hole region 10b111 and the second sub-hole region 10b112 located on one side of the three pixel units 12 along the second direction Y. The second sub-pixel 121b and the third sub-pixel 121c of another pixel unit 12 are located between the first sub-hole region 10b111 and the second sub-hole region 10b112, and the first sub-pixel 121a of another pixel unit 12 is located on the side of the second sub-hole region 10b112 opposite to the first sub-hole region 10b111.

[0139] Optionally, refer to Figure 17 As shown, the first sub-hole region 10b111 and the second sub-hole region 10b112 are both triangular in shape.

[0140] Optionally, refer to Figure 10 As shown, the first sub-hole region 10b111 and the second sub-hole region 10b112 are both Z-shaped.

[0141] Optionally, refer to Figure 20 As shown, the first sub-hole region 10b111 and the second sub-hole region 10b112 are both T-shaped.

[0142] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, in two adjacent first regions 10b1 along the first direction X, the aperture areas 10b11 of the two first regions 10b1 are adjacent, and the pixel areas 10b12 of the two first regions 10b1 are adjacent. In this way, the aperture area of ​​the aperture area 10b11 can be maximized, thereby maximizing the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area 10b.

[0143] In one embodiment, reference Figure 23 As shown, the first region 10b1 includes multiple opening areas 10b11. Each opening area 10b11 includes multiple first sub-opening areas 10b111 and at least one second sub-opening area 10b112; a second sub-opening area 10b112 is provided between two adjacent first sub-opening areas 10b111. This increases the opening area within the first region 10b1, thereby improving light transmittance.

[0144] Optionally, the plurality of aperture areas 10b11 includes two first sub-aperture areas 10b111 and one second sub-aperture area 10b112. Further, the pixel area 10b12 includes two pixel units 12. In this way, the impact on the display effect can be minimized while increasing the aperture area.

[0145] Optionally, two first sub-hole regions 10b111 and one second sub-hole region 10b112 are arranged sequentially along the first direction X. Two pixel units 12 within the pixel region 10b12 correspond one-to-one with the two first sub-hole regions 10b111, and each pixel unit 12 is located on one side of the corresponding first sub-hole region 10b111 along the first direction X. In this way, the impact on the display effect can be minimized while increasing the aperture area.

[0146] Optionally, the second sub-hole region 10b112 has a first sub-pixel 121a and a third sub-pixel 121c on one side along the second direction Y, and at least one second sub-pixel 121b on the other side along the second direction Y. In one embodiment, both the first sub-hole region 10b111 and the second sub-hole region 10b112 are T-shaped. Specifically, the two first sub-hole regions 10b111 have the same orientation, and the second sub-hole region 10b112 has the opposite orientation to the first sub-hole region 10b111.

[0147] In one embodiment, reference Figure 24 , Figure 25 and Figure 26 As shown, the pixel region 10b12 includes a plurality of pixel units 12, and the first region 10b1 includes a plurality of aperture regions 10b11. Pixel units 12 are provided on at least one side of the aperture region 10b11 along a first direction X, and / or, pixel units 12 are provided on at least one side of the aperture region 10b11 along a second direction Y. This allows for a larger number of pixel units 12 in the pixel region 10b12, which is beneficial for improving the display effect.

[0148] Optionally, combined Figure 24 and Figure 27 The first sub-region 10a11 corresponding to the aperture region 10b11 includes a pixel unit 12, that is: the aperture region 10b11 includes a pixel unit 12. In this way, on the one hand, the area of ​​the aperture region 10b11 can be larger, which is beneficial to improving light transmittance; on the other hand, compared with removing a part of the sub-pixels 121 in the pixel unit 12, removing a complete pixel unit 12 can prevent the part of the sub-pixels 121 in the pixel unit 12 from being retained, which would cause color shift or color fringing when emitting light.

[0149] Optionally, the second region 10a1 corresponding to the first region 10b1 includes a plurality of pixel units 12, which are arranged in rows along the first direction X and in columns along the second direction Y. In this way, the pixel units 12 can be arranged more regularly, which is beneficial to improving the display effect.

[0150] Optionally, the number of aperture areas 10b11 in the first region 10b1 is n, and the number of pixel units 12 in the second region 10a1 corresponding to the first region 10b1 is n. 2 In one example, the number of aperture areas 10b11 is 2, and the number of pixel units 12 in the second region 10a1 is 4. In another example, the number of aperture areas 10b11 is 4, and the number of pixel units 12 in the second region 10a1 is 16.

[0151] Optionally, each pixel unit row in the first region 10b1 is provided with an aperture area 10b11. This is equivalent to placing one pixel unit 12 in the aperture area 10b11 within each pixel unit row. In this way, there are more ways to remove the pixel unit 12 in the second region 10a1, making it easier for the process operator to select according to actual needs.

[0152] Optionally, each pixel unit column in the first region 10b1 is provided with an aperture area 10b11. This is equivalent to placing one pixel unit 12 in the aperture area 10b11 within each pixel unit column. In this way, there are more ways to remove the pixel unit 12 in the second region 10a1, which is convenient for the process operator to select according to actual needs.

[0153] Optionally, within the first region 10b1, in all pixel unit rows of the same first region 10b1, the outermost pixel unit row is provided with two opening areas 10b11; in all pixel unit columns of the same first region 10b1, the outermost pixel unit column is provided with two opening areas 10b11. That is, the four opening areas 10b11 are located at the four corners of the second region 10a1. In this way, the partial opening areas 10b11 in adjacent first regions 10b1 are arranged adjacently, which helps to make the opening areas 10b11 and pixel units 12 in the light-transmitting display area 10b more evenly distributed, thereby improving the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area 10b while maximizing the display effect of the light-transmitting display area 10b.

[0154] Optionally, the opening areas 10b11 are all rectangular in shape. (Refer to...) Figure 27 As shown, the area where the three sub-pixels 121 of pixel unit 12 are located is rectangular. The above arrangement can make the shape of the aperture area 10b11 match the arrangement of pixel unit 12, which is conducive to maximizing the area of ​​aperture area 10b11 and thus improving light transmittance.

[0155] It should be noted that, due to the influence of the manufacturing process, the shape of the opening area 10b11 can be close to a rectangle, or similar to a rectangle.

[0156] In one embodiment, the display panel 10 includes a plurality of pixel groups arranged in a repeating pattern; each pixel group includes at least one first sub-pixel 121a, at least one second sub-pixel 121b, and at least one third sub-pixel 121c; the second region 10a1 includes at least one pixel group. Here, a pixel group refers to the smallest repeating unit arranged in the sub-pixel 121 arrangement structure.

[0157] Specifically, a second region 10a1 may include one or more pixel groups; of course, a second region 10a1 may also include 1.5, 2.5, or 4.5 pixel groups.

[0158] Optionally, the second region 10a1 includes multiple pixel groups; the first sub-region 10a11 corresponding to the aperture region 10b11 includes at least one pixel group. Specifically, the first sub-region 10a11 corresponding to the aperture region 10b11 includes one pixel group.

[0159] In one embodiment, reference Figure 28 As shown, the display panel 10 also includes a partition structure 13, which is disposed on one side of the substrate 11. The partition structure 13 is provided with a plurality of partition openings 13b and a plurality of light-transmitting openings 13c. At least a portion of the structure of the sub-pixel 121 is disposed in the corresponding partition opening 13b. The plurality of light-transmitting openings 13c are correspondingly disposed with the sub-holes 15 of the plurality of opening areas 10b11 of the light-transmitting display area 10b.

[0160] It should be noted that the partition structure 13 refers to a structure that separates the light-emitting materials of adjacent sub-pixels 121 during the evaporation of the light-emitting material of the sub-pixels 121. By setting the partition structure 13, a patterned photolithography process can be used for the sub-pixels 121, thereby eliminating the need for an open-circuit mirror (FMM) and improving the pixel density (PPI). Furthermore, since the sub-pixels 121 are fabricated using a patterned photolithography process, compared to the display panel 10 which uses an FMM to evaporate the sub-pixels 121, the partition structure 13 allows for a richer variety of shapes and a more optimized arrangement of the sub-pixels 121.

[0161] Optionally, the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting opening 13c on the substrate 11 coincides with the orthographic projection of the aperture region 10b11 on the substrate 11. In this way, the light transmittance can be maximized.

[0162] In one embodiment, the edge of the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting opening 13c onto the substrate 11 can have an arc edge or a straight edge, which helps to improve the diffraction problem of the camera.

[0163] In one embodiment, the shape of the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting opening 13c onto the substrate 11 can be an irregular shape.

[0164] In one embodiment, the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting opening 13c onto the substrate 11 is polygonal or circular. Exemplarily, the orthographic projection shape of the light-transmitting opening 13c can be triangular, rectangular, T-shaped, or Z-shaped. This facilitates matching the light-transmitting opening 13c with the arrangement of the removed pixel units 12, thereby improving light transmittance.

[0165] Optionally, the sub-pixel 121 includes a first electrode 1211, a light-emitting functional part 1212, and a second electrode 1213 stacked along a direction away from the substrate 11. The second electrode 1213 is electrically connected to the partition structure 13. It is understood that the partition structure 13 can be electrically connected to the pixel circuit of the display panel 10. In this embodiment, the second electrode 1213 of the sub-pixel 121 is connected to the pixel circuit via the partition structure 13. This allows for a more optimized wiring layout in the display area 10a.

[0166] In this embodiment, the first electrode 1211 is the anode, and the second electrode 1213 is the cathode. The light-emitting functional unit 1212 includes at least an emission layer (EML), and may also include one or more of a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron injection layer (EIL), an electron transport layer (ETL), a hole block layer (HBL), and an electron block layer (EBL). Alternatively, the light-emitting functional unit 1212 may also be a stacked light-emitting structure, that is, it includes at least two emission layers and a charge generation layer (CGL) located between each adjacent emission layer.

[0167] Optionally, the isolation structure 13 is a single integrated structure, meaning that the isolation structures 13 corresponding to different sub-pixels are connected to form a whole. This facilitates signal transmission through the isolation structure 13 and reduces its resistance, thereby reducing power consumption.

[0168] Optionally, the orthographic projection of the partition structure 13 onto the substrate 11 is a grid.

[0169] Optionally, the partition structure 13 includes an isolator 131 and a blocking portion 132 stacked along the direction away from the substrate 11. The outer contour of the orthographic projection of the blocking portion 132 on the substrate 11 is located outside the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the isolator 131 on the substrate 11. In this way, the partition structure 13 can form an undercut structure that is "larger at the top and smaller at the bottom". When the sub-pixel 121 is deposited, the undercut structure can block the light-emitting material of the sub-pixel 121.

[0170] Optionally, the isolator 131 includes a conductive material, and the second electrode 1213 is electrically connected to the isolator 131; thus, it is convenient to electrically connect the second electrode 1213 to the isolator 131 of the partition structure 13, thereby connecting the second electrode 1213 of the sub-pixel 121 to the pixel circuit through the isolator 131, so that the wiring layout of the display area 10a is more optimized.

[0171] Optionally, the insulator 131 includes at least one metal layer; in one example, the insulator 131 includes one metal layer. Further, the material of the insulator 131 includes at least one of a metal and a metal oxide. Exemplarily, the metal may be silver, copper, titanium, aluminum, etc. The metal oxide may be tin oxide, zinc oxide, cadmium oxide, indium oxide, indium tin oxide, zinc indium oxide, zinc gallium oxide, zinc aluminum oxide, titanium tantalum oxide, etc.

[0172] Optionally, the isolator 131 includes a first metal layer and a second metal layer stacked along a direction away from the substrate 11, wherein the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the first metal layer on the substrate 11 is located outside the outer contour of the orthographic projection of the second metal layer on the substrate 11. Here, the first metal layer and the second metal layer are stacked sequentially along a direction away from the substrate 11. In one example, the material of the first metal layer may be Mo, and the material of the second metal layer may be Al.

[0173] Optionally, the material of the blocking part 132 includes titanium or molybdenum; the material of the first metal layer includes molybdenum or titanium; and the material of the second metal layer includes aluminum, copper, or silver.

[0174] In one example, the cross-sectional shape of the partition structure 13, which is composed of the first metal layer, the second metal layer, and the blocking part 132, can be I-shaped.

[0175] Optionally, combined Figure 15 and Figure 17The partition structure 13 located in the light-transmitting display area 10b has multiple opening groups 13a, each corresponding to a multiple first areas 10b1. Each opening group 13a includes multiple partition openings 13b and at least one light-transmitting opening 13c. The multiple partition openings 13b include at least one first partition opening 13b1, at least one second partition opening 13b2, and at least one third partition opening 13b3. The first sub-pixel 121a corresponds to the first partition opening 13b1, the second sub-pixel 121b corresponds to the second partition opening 13b2, and the third sub-pixel 121c corresponds to the third partition opening 13b3.

[0176] In one embodiment, the display panel 10 further includes an array film layer 14 disposed between the substrate 11 and the partition structure 13. The array film layer 14 has a plurality of pixel circuits arranged in the display area 10a and the light-transmitting display area 10b, and the plurality of pixel circuits are electrically connected to a plurality of sub-pixels 121 respectively.

[0177] The orthographic projection of the pixel circuit located in the light-transmitting display area 10b onto the substrate 11 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the aperture area 10b11 onto the substrate 11; or, the orthographic projection of the pixel circuit located in the light-transmitting display area 10b onto the substrate 11 partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the aperture area 10b11 onto the substrate 11, and the pixel circuit corresponding to the overlapping portion is constructed as a transparent conductive film layer.

[0178] This reduces the interference of the pixel circuit with light and improves the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area 10b.

[0179] Optionally, the orthographic projection of the pixel circuit located in the light-transmitting display area 10b onto the substrate 11 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the partition structure 13 onto the substrate 11.

[0180] In one embodiment, the array film layer 14 is further provided with a plurality of first signal lines, which are arranged in the display area 10a and the light-transmitting display area 10b. The orthographic projection of the first signal line in the light-transmitting display area 10b onto the substrate 11 is located within the orthographic projection of the pixel area 10b12 onto the substrate 11. This reduces the interference of the first signal lines on light and improves the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area 10b. For example, the first signal lines can be scan lines, power lines, etc.

[0181] Optionally, the array film layer 14 also includes multiple data signal lines arranged in the display area 10a and the light-transmitting display area 10b. The orthographic projection of the data signal lines in the light-transmitting display area 10b onto the substrate 11 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the aperture area 10b11 onto the substrate 11, and the data signal lines corresponding to the overlapping portion are constructed as a transparent conductive film layer. This reduces interference from the data signal lines to light and improves the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area 10b.

[0182] In one embodiment, the display panel 10 further includes a pixel defining layer 13, which is disposed on the side of the array film layer 14 away from the substrate 11, and a partition structure 13 is disposed on the pixel defining layer 13. The pixel defining layer 13 has a plurality of pixel openings, which are connected to a plurality of partition openings 13b in a one-to-one correspondence.

The partition openings 13b are located in the display area 10a and the light-transmitting display area 10b, and are used to set sub-pixels 121. The light-transmitting openings 13c are located in the light-transmitting display area 10b, and the area of ​​the light-transmitting opening 13c is larger than the area of ​​any one of the partition openings 13b. Here, the area of ​​the light-transmitting opening 13c can be considered as the orthogonal projection area of ​​the light-transmitting opening 13c on the substrate 11, and the area of ​​the partition openings 13b can be considered as the orthogonal projection area of ​​the partition openings 13b on the substrate 11.

The partition opening 13b can be configured with sub-pixels 121, while the light-transmitting opening 13c allows ambient light to pass through. Thus, on the one hand, the light-transmitting opening 13c within the light-transmitting display area 10b helps improve the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area 10b; on the other hand, the partition opening 13b within the light-transmitting display area 10b can be configured with sub-pixels 121, thereby ensuring that the light-transmitting display area 10b has a certain display effect. In summary, this application can improve the light transmittance of the light-transmitting display area 10b while also ensuring its display effect.

[0185] In one embodiment, the light-transmitting display area 10b includes a plurality of first regions 10b1. A plurality of opening groups 13a are provided on the partition structure 13 located on the first regions 10b1.
