The display panel is rendered in at least one of the first and second directions by sharing one or two sub-pixels with at least one adjacent pixel to form at least one multiplexed pixel, thereby improving the resolution of the display panel and the display effect of the display panel.

[0051] The display panel and display device provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to Figures 1 to 22.

[0052] First, please refer to Figure 1, and in conjunction with Figures 2 and 3, Figures 19 and 20 as necessary, Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a display device provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1, the display device 100 includes a device body 10 and a display panel 2 provided on the device body.

[0053] The display device 100 mentioned here may be an electronic device with a display screen, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, etc. The display panel 2 mentioned here may be an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display panel.

[0054] The display device has a width direction W and a length direction L. In some embodiments, the width direction W and the length direction L are perpendicular to each other.

[0055] The display panel 2 may include a substrate and a drive circuit layer. The substrate may be a rigid substrate. Specifically, the rigid substrate may be a glass substrate or a PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) substrate. Alternatively, the substrate may be a flexible substrate. Specifically, the flexible substrate may be a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) substrate, a PEN (polyethylene naphthalate diformic acid glycol ester) substrate, or a PI (polyimide) substrate.

[0056] The driving circuit layer may be provided on a substrate. The driving circuit layer may include multiple driving transistors. The driving transistors may be thin-film transistors, but embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The thin-film transistors may be top-gate thin-film transistors, or alternatively, bottom-gate thin-film transistors. Taking a top-gate thin-film transistor as an example, the driving circuit layer may include an active layer, a gate insulating layer, a gate electrode, an interlayer insulating layer, a source electrode, and a drain electrode. The active layer may be provided on the substrate. The gate insulating layer may be provided on the substrate and cover the active layer. The gate electrode may be provided on a side of the gate insulating layer facing away from the substrate. The interlayer insulating layer may be provided on the gate insulating layer and cover the gate electrode. The source and drain electrodes may be provided on the interlayer insulating layer and connected to the active layer via vias passing through the interlayer insulating layer and the gate insulating layer. The display panel of embodiments of the present disclosure may also include a planarization layer and a pixel definition layer. The planarization layer may be provided on the surface of the driving circuit layer facing away from the substrate and cover the source and drain electrodes of the driving transistors. The pixel definition layer may be provided on the planarization layer. The pixel defining layer may be provided with a plurality of pixel openings, which are used for evaporating luminescent materials to form sub-pixels.

[0057] The display panel's driver circuit layer includes crisscrossing scan lines, data lines, and other signal lines to provide corresponding signals to thin-film transistors and other devices. The display device also includes a control circuit board (also called a motherboard), which includes a control module. A timing control module is connected to the scan and data lines and is capable of providing the required signals to these signal lines, driving each sub-pixel to emit light.

[0058] The display panel 2 has a display area S1 and a non-display area S2 located at least to one side of the display area S1. The display panel 2 includes a plurality of pixels (also referred to as pixel units) 20 located in the display area S1. The plurality of pixel units 20 are arranged in an array.

[0059] The arrangement of multiple pixels in this application is the existing O-Stripe pixel arrangement.

[0060] The row direction of the array arrangement is the first direction, and each of the pixels includes a first sub-pixel 201, a second sub-pixel 202 and a third sub-pixel 203. The first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202 and the third sub-pixel 203 are arranged in sequence along the second direction, wherein an angle is formed between the first direction and the second direction.

[0061] As shown in FIG. 20 , the display panel 2 includes a plurality of scan lines G (i.e., GOA lines) and a plurality of data lines D (i.e., data source lines) arranged in a crisscross pattern. The scan lines G extend along a width direction W, and the data lines D extend along a length direction L. Pixels are also arranged in an array along the width direction W and the length direction L. Each scan line G corresponds to a row of sub-pixels arranged along the width direction W, and each data line G corresponds to a column of sub-pixels arranged along the length direction L.

[0062] In at least one of the first and second directions, the pixel 21 has adjacent pixels 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27. Here, taking the pixel 21 as the at least one pixel as an example, the pixel 21 may share one or two sub-pixels with at least one of the adjacent pixels 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27, so as to form at least one multiplexed pixel different from the pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27 of the display panel in the region where the pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27 are located, such as the multiplexed pixels 301, 302, and 303 in FIG. Furthermore, the arrangement of the first sub-pixel 201 , the second sub-pixel 202 and the third sub-pixel 203 in the multiplexed pixel is different from the arrangement of the first sub-pixel 201 , the second sub-pixel 202 and the third sub-pixel 203 in the at least one adjacent pixel.

[0063] The row direction of the array arrangement is the first direction. It is understood that the pixels in each row can be aligned in the first direction, that is, the rows formed by the pixels are arranged parallel to the first direction. Of course, based on the specific shape of the display panel, for example, the display panel is generally rectangular and the display area is also rectangular, the pixels can also be arranged in accordance with a preset rule, with the pixels in two adjacent columns staggered by a preset size in the first direction to improve the pixel arrangement rate.

[0064] In some embodiments, the formed multiplexed pixels include a first type of multiplexed pixels. The first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202, and the third sub-pixel 203 in the first type of multiplexed pixels and the first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202, and the third sub-pixel 203 in the at least one pixel are arranged in a row along the second direction, and the arrangement order of the first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202, and the third sub-pixel 203 in the first type of multiplexed pixels is different from the arrangement order of the first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202, and the third sub-pixel 203 in one pixel in the at least one pixel.

[0065] For example, the multiplexed pixel 302 shown in FIG3 is a first type of multiplexed pixel. The first subpixel 201, second subpixel 202, and third subpixel 203 of the multiplexed pixel 302 are arranged in a second direction with the first subpixel 201, second subpixel 202, and third subpixel 203 of the adjacent pixel 21, but the arrangement order of the subpixels in the two pixels is different. Along the second direction, from the upper left to the lower right in the figure, the arrangement order of the subpixels of the multiplexed pixel 302 is the second subpixel 202, the third subpixel 203, and the first subpixel 201, while the arrangement order of the subpixels in the pixel 21 along the same direction is the first subpixel 201, the second subpixel 202, and the third subpixel 203.

[0066] In some embodiments, at least one of the multiplexed pixels includes a second type of multiplexed pixels, in which the first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202 and the third sub-pixel 203 are distributed in at least two rows in the first direction, and in at least one pixel, the first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202 and the third sub-pixel 203 are distributed in one row in the first direction.

[0067] If the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel in the at least one pixel are distributed in N rows in the first direction, the common sub-pixels in the second type of multiplexed pixels are distributed in N rows in the first direction, the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel in the second type of multiplexed pixels are distributed in at least N rows and (N-1) rows in the first direction, or the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel in the second type of multiplexed pixels are distributed in at least N rows and (N+1) rows in the first direction.

[0068] For example, the multiplexed pixels 301 and 303 shown in FIG3 are second-type multiplexed pixels. The first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202, and the third sub-pixel 203 included in the multiplexed pixel 301 are arranged in two rows in the first direction. The first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202, and the third sub-pixel 203 included in the multiplexed pixel 303 are arranged in two rows in the first direction. The first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202, and the third sub-pixel 203 included in the pixel 21 are arranged in the same row.

[0069] Continuing with FIG3 , if the first subpixel 201, second subpixel 202, and third subpixel 203 in pixel 21 are distributed in N rows in the first direction, the N-1th row toward the lower left and the N+1th row toward the upper right along the first direction. The subpixels 201 shared by the second type of multiplexed pixels are distributed in N rows in the first direction, and the first subpixel 201, second subpixel 202, and third subpixel 203 in multiplexed pixel 301 are distributed in N and (N-1)th rows in the first direction. The first, second, and third subpixels in multiplexed pixel 303 are distributed in at least N and (N+1)th rows in the first direction.

[0070] In addition, in some other embodiments, the second type of multiplexed pixels can also be set to span three rows in the first direction, such as the multiplexed pixel 316 shown in Figure 19, whose three sub-pixels are arranged in N rows, (N-1) rows and (N+1) rows in the first direction respectively.

[0071] In some embodiments, among the sub-pixels of the plurality of pixels arranged in an array, at least one or two sub-pixels are shared by four pixels, two of the four pixels are located in a row where the shared sub-pixel is located, and the other two are located in two rows on both sides of the shared sub-pixel.

[0072] 3 , the first subpixel 201 in the pixel 21 is shared by the pixel 21, multiplexed pixels 301, 302, and 303. Multiplexed pixel 302 and pixel 21 are located in the same row, and multiplexed pixels 301 and 303 are located in two adjacent rows of the shared first subpixel 201.

[0073] It should be noted that when a sub-pixel is shared, any one of the first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202, and the third sub-pixel 203 of the pixel 21 may be shared. When two sub-pixels are shared, the first sub-pixel 201 and the second sub-pixel 202 may be shared, or the second sub-pixel 202 and the third sub-pixel 203 may be shared.

[0074] It is understood that the pixel 21 may share one sub-pixel with one or two adjacent pixels to form a multiplexed pixel. The pixel 21 may share two sub-pixels with one adjacent pixel to form a multiplexed pixel.

[0075] It is understood that the first direction and the width direction W form an angle, that is, the first direction and the direction in which the scan line G extends form an angle, which is an acute angle. The first direction and the length direction L also form an angle. Furthermore, the second direction and the width direction W form an angle. The second direction and the length direction L also form an angle.

[0076] The above-mentioned display panel 2, in at least one direction of the first direction and the second direction, sets the pixel 21 to share one or two sub-pixels with at least one of the adjacent pixels 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27, so as to form at least one multiplexed pixel different from the pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 of the display panel in the area where the pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 are located, that is, the color borrowing principle is used for rendering to improve the resolution of the display panel and thus improve the display effect of the display panel.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first sub-pixel 201 , the second sub-pixel 202 and the third sub-pixel 203 are rectangular, so as to increase the area layout ratio of the first sub-pixel 201 , the second sub-pixel 202 and the third sub-pixel 203 , which is beneficial to further improve the display rate of the display panel.

[0078] In some embodiments, the long sides of the first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202 and the third sub-pixel 203 are equal, which further increases the area distribution ratio of the first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202 and the third sub-pixel 203, which is beneficial to further improve the display rate of the display panel.

[0079] Of course, the long sides of the sub-pixels may not be equal. For example, among the first, second, and third sub-pixels, the long side of the first sub-pixel 201 is D1, while the long sides of the second and third sub-pixels 202 and 203 are D2 and D3, respectively. Therefore, D2 and D3 are both between 0.8D1 and 1.2D1, which can increase the area ratio of the sub-pixels to a certain extent.

[0080] In some embodiments, the long sides of the first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202 and the third sub-pixel 203 are parallel to the first direction, further increasing the area distribution ratio of the first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202 and the third sub-pixel 203, which is beneficial to further improve the display rate of the display panel.

[0081] In some embodiments, the short sides of the first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202 and the third sub-pixel 203 are parallel to the second direction, further increasing the area distribution ratio of the first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202 and the third sub-pixel 203, which is beneficial to further improve the display rate of the display panel.

[0082] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the shape of each sub-pixel may also be other regular or irregular shapes, such as an ellipse or a polygon, and the specific arrangement of each side may be set according to corresponding requirements.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first sub-pixel 201 , the second sub-pixel 202 , and the third sub-pixel 203 are a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel, respectively.

[0084] To adapt the lifespan of each color sub-pixel and maximize the lifespan of the display panel, the area of ​​the green sub-pixel is set to be larger than the area of ​​the red sub-pixel, and the area of ​​the blue sub-pixel is set to be larger than the area of ​​the green sub-pixel. The area ratio of the green sub-pixel to the red sub-pixel is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 3, and the area ratio of the blue sub-pixel to the red sub-pixel is greater than 1.2 and less than or equal to 4. For example, the area ratios of the red, green, and blue sub-pixels can be 1:1.2:1.6, 1:1.3:1.8, 1:1.2:1.8, or 1:2.5:3.1, respectively.

[0085] The long sides of the first sub-pixel 201, the second sub-pixel 202 and the third sub-pixel 203 are equal, and the short side size of each sub-pixel can be adjusted to adapt to the required area of ​​each sub-pixel. In some embodiments, the short side size d1 of the red sub-pixel is smaller than the short side size d2 of the green sub-pixel, and the short side size d2 of the green sub-pixel is smaller than the short side size d3 of the blue sub-pixel, so as to better adapt to the life of each color sub-pixel, so that the display panel can achieve a longer service life as much as possible.

[0086] In some embodiments, the angle between the first direction and the second direction is an acute angle.

[0087] Of course, in some other embodiments, the angle between the first direction and the second direction may also be a right angle.

[0088] In some embodiments, in the directions indicated by the first direction and the second direction, a pixel and a plurality of adjacent pixels share the same one or two sub-pixels.

[0089] First, for sharing the same sub-pixel, in the directions indicated by the first direction and the second direction, the pixel and multiple adjacent pixels share the same sub-pixel.

[0090] The specific arrangement of pixels in the display panel 2 is described below with reference to FIG. 3 to FIG. 19 . In some embodiments, the same sub-pixel shared here is the first sub-pixel 201 .

[0091] For example, as shown in Figure 3, pixel 21 and all adjacent pixels 23, pixel 24 and pixel 25 that may share the first sub-pixel 201 share the first sub-pixel 201, so that in the area where pixels 21, pixel 22, pixel 23, pixel 24, pixel 25, pixel 26 and pixel 27 are located, three multiplexed pixels 301, 302 and 303 different from pixels 21, pixel 22, pixel 23, pixel 24, pixel 25, pixel 26 and pixel 27 can be formed.

[0092] Of course, pixel 21 may also share the first sub-pixel with one of the adjacent pixels 23, 24 and 25, such as shown in Figures 8, 9 and 10, where pixel 24, pixel 25 and pixel 23 share a first sub-pixel 201, so that in the areas where pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 are located, a multiplexed pixel 302, 303 or 301 different from pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 may be formed.

[0093] Alternatively, pixel 21 may also share the first sub-pixel 201 with two of the adjacent pixels 23, 24 and 25, so that two multiplexed pixels different from pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 can be formed in the area where pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 are located.

[0094] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, in at least one of the first direction and the second direction, the same sub-pixel shared by the pixel 21 is the second sub-pixel 202 .

[0095] For example, as shown in Figure 4, pixel 21 shares the second sub-pixel 202 with adjacent pixels 22 and 23, and shares the second sub-pixel 202 with adjacent pixels 25 and 26, so that in the area where pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 are located, two multiplexed pixels 304 and 306 that share the second sub-pixel 202, which are different from pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27, can be formed.

[0096] Of course, pixel 21 may also share the second sub-pixel 202 with the adjacent pixels 22 and 23, or share the second sub-pixel 202 with the adjacent pixels 25 and 26, so that in the areas where pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 are located, a multiplexed pixel that shares the second sub-pixel 202 different from pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 can be formed.

[0097] In some other embodiments, in at least one of the first direction and the second direction, the same sub-pixel shared by the pixel 21 is the third sub-pixel 203 .

[0098] For example, as shown in Figure 5, pixel 21 and all adjacent pixels 22, pixel 26 and pixel 27 that may share the third sub-pixel 203 share the third sub-pixel 203, so that in the area where pixels 21, pixel 22, pixel 23, pixel 24, pixel 25, pixel 26 and pixel 27 are located, three multiplexed pixels 307, 308 and 309 different from pixels 21, pixel 22, pixel 23, pixel 24, pixel 25, pixel 26 and pixel 27 can be formed.

[0099] Of course, pixel 21 can also share the third sub-pixel 203 with one of the adjacent pixels 22, 26 and 27, and share one third sub-pixel 203 with pixels 22, 26 and 27 respectively, so that in the area where pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 are located, a multiplexed pixel different from pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 can be formed.

[0100] Alternatively, pixel 21 may also share the third sub-pixel 203 with two of the adjacent pixels 22, 26 and 27, so that two multiplexed pixels different from pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 can be formed in the area where pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 are located.

[0101] Furthermore, for the pixel 21 that shares two sub-pixels, in some embodiments, in at least one of the first direction and the second direction, the pixel shares the first pixel and the second pixel with at least one adjacent pixel.

[0102] For example, as shown in Figure 6, pixel 21 and all adjacent pixels 23, pixel 24 and pixel 25 that may share the first sub-pixel 201 and the second pixel 202 share the first sub-pixel 201 and the second pixel 202 of pixel 21, so that in the area where pixels 21, pixel 22, pixel 23, pixel 24, pixel 25, pixel 26 and pixel 27 are located, three multiplexed pixels 310, 311 and 312 different from pixels 21, pixel 22, pixel 23, pixel 24, pixel 25, pixel 26 and pixel 27 can be formed.

[0103] Of course, pixel 21 may also share the first sub-pixel with one of the adjacent pixels 23, 24 and 25, such as shown in Figures 11, 12 and 13, where the first sub-pixel 201 and the second sub-pixel 202 are shared with pixel 24, pixel 25 and pixel 23 respectively, so that in the areas where pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 are located, one multiplexed pixel 311, 312 or 310 different from pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 can be formed respectively.

[0104] Alternatively, pixel 21 may also share the first sub-pixel 201 and the second sub-pixel 202 with two of the adjacent pixels 23, pixel 24 and pixel 25, so that two multiplexed pixels different from pixels 21, pixel 22, pixel 23, pixel 24, pixel 25, pixel 26 and pixel 27 can be formed in the area where pixels 21, pixel 22, pixel 23, pixel 24, pixel 25, pixel 26 and pixel 27 are located.

[0105] For pixels that share two sub-pixels with the pixel 21 , in other embodiments, the pixel shares the second pixel and the third pixel with at least one adjacent pixel in at least one of the first direction and the second direction.

[0106] For example, as shown in Figure 7, pixel 21 and all adjacent pixels 22, pixel 26 and pixel 27 that may share the second sub-pixel 202 and the third pixel 203 share the second sub-pixel 202 and the third pixel 203 of pixel 21, so that in the area where pixels 21, pixel 22, pixel 23, pixel 24, pixel 25, pixel 26 and pixel 27 are located, three multiplexed pixels 313, 314 and 315 different from pixels 21, pixel 22, pixel 23, pixel 24, pixel 25, pixel 26 and pixel 27 can be formed.

[0107] Of course, pixel 21 can also share the second sub-pixel 202 and the third pixel 203 with one of the adjacent pixels 22, 26 and 27, and share the second sub-pixel 202 and the third pixel 203 with pixels 22, 26 and 27 respectively, so that in the areas where pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 are located, one multiplexed pixel different from pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 can be formed respectively.

[0108] Alternatively, pixel 21 may also share the second sub-pixel 202 and the third pixel 203 with two of the adjacent pixels 22, 26 and 27, so that two multiplexed pixels different from pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 can be formed in the area where pixels 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 are located.

[0109] In addition, if a pixel shares one subpixel with an adjacent pixel, it may also share two subpixels with other pixels. For example, as shown in FIG4 , pixel 21 shares second subpixel 202 with adjacent pixels 22 and 23, shares second subpixel 202 with adjacent pixels 25 and 26, and shares first subpixel 201 and second subpixel 202 with adjacent pixel 24.

[0110] Of course, in other embodiments, a pixel may share different sub-pixels with other adjacent pixels to form at least two different multiplexed pixels. Referring to FIG. 20 , pixel 21 in FIG. 20 shares first pixel 201 with adjacent pixel 24 to form a multiplexed pixel 302, and may also share a third pixel with pixel 26 to form a multiplexed pixel 317.

[0111] Furthermore, in some other embodiments, a pixel may share a sub-pixel with two adjacent pixels to form a multiplexed pixel, such as the multiplexed pixel 318 shown in FIG21 .

[0112] To facilitate timing control, etc., the shared sub-pixels in the display panel can be arranged according to certain rules. For example, in area units of the same size, the shared pixels and the multiplexed pixels formed are similar. For example, as shown in Figures 14 to 17, the same multiplexing method is used in every two rows and two columns of area units arranged along the length direction L and the width direction W, and the multiplexed pixels formed in each area unit are arranged in a consistent manner.

[0113] Of course, in other embodiments, for example, in area units of the same size, the shared pixels and the multiplexed pixels formed may be different. For example, as shown in FIG18 , in every two rows and two columns of area units arranged along the length direction L and the width direction W, the same multiplexing method is used, but the arrangement method of the multiplexed pixels formed in each area unit is different.

[0114] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present disclosure. Although the present disclosure has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any technician familiar with this profession can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of the technical content disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present disclosure. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present disclosure without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present disclosure are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present disclosure.
