Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display panel and a display device. Background Art

[0002] Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) is a display lighting technology that has gradually developed in recent years. Especially in the display industry, OLED display is considered to have broad application prospects due to its advantages such as high response, high contrast, and flexibility.

[0003] In order to display colorful colors, the display panel is provided with multiple pixels, each pixel includes three sub-pixels of red, green and blue. For OLED display panels, each sub-pixel is an OLED device. By adjusting the brightness of the three sub-pixels, the pixels can display different colors, thereby realizing different color displays of the display panel. High-definition picture quality requires a higher resolution to achieve. For display panels of the same size, the more pixels are distributed, the higher the resolution and the clearer the picture quality. In the case of the same number of pixels, the aperture ratio of the pixels becomes very important. A larger aperture ratio can increase the brightness of the panel, achieve energy saving and consumption reduction, and increase the service life.

[0044] In the following, only some exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure, and different embodiments may be combined arbitrarily without conflict. Therefore, the drawings and descriptions are considered to be illustrative in nature and not restrictive.

[0045] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a display panel in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the display panel includes a plurality of first sub-pixels 10, a plurality of second sub-pixels 20, and a plurality of third sub-pixels 30. The first sub-pixels 10, the second sub-pixels 20, and the third sub-pixels 30 are spaced apart from each other.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of third sub-pixels 30 are arranged in an array along a first direction X and a second direction Y, and the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect. The first direction X and the second direction Y may be perpendicular or non-perpendicular. The first sub-pixel 10 is located between two adjacent third sub-pixels 30 in the first direction X, and the first sub-pixel 10 includes a first body portion 11. In the first direction X, one first sub-pixel 10 may be disposed between every two adjacent third sub-pixels 30.

[0047] The second sub-pixel 20 is located between two adjacent third sub-pixels 30 in the second direction Y, and the second sub-pixel 20 includes a second body portion 21. In the second direction Y, one second sub-pixel 20 may be disposed between every two adjacent third sub-pixels 30.

[0048] The display panel may include a plurality of pixel units. Figure 1 A pixel unit PU is enclosed by a dotted line frame, and the pixel unit PU may include a third sub-pixel 30a, a first sub-pixel 10a, and a second sub-pixel 20a. In the pixel unit, the first sub-pixel 10a is located on one side of the third sub-pixel 30a in the first direction X, and the second sub-pixel 20a is located on one side of the third sub-pixel 30a in the second direction Y. For example, Figure 1 In the example, the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other. In the pixel unit, the first sub-pixel 10a is located on the left side of the third sub-pixel 30a, and the second sub-pixel 20a is located on the upper side of the third sub-pixel 30a. Two adjacent pixel units are closely arranged.

[0049] In the present disclosure, the arrangement structure of the three sub-pixels in the pixel unit is not limited to Figure 1 In another embodiment, the arrangement structure of the three sub-pixels in the pixel unit can be as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the dashed box B, the first sub-pixel 10b is located on the right side of the third sub-pixel 30b, and the second sub-pixel 20b is located on the lower side of the third sub-pixel 30b.

[0050] It can be seen that the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a new type of pixel arrangement structure, wherein a plurality of third sub-pixels 30 are arranged in an array along the first direction X and the second direction Y, wherein the first sub-pixel 10 is located between two adjacent third sub-pixels 30 in the first direction X, and the second sub-pixel 20 is located between two adjacent third sub-pixels 30 in the second direction Y. The third sub-pixel 30 and the first sub-pixel 10 and the second sub-pixel 20 located on one side thereof can be set as a pixel unit as required, and two adjacent pixel units are closely arranged. Such a pixel arrangement structure is conducive to reducing the occupied area of ​​the pixel unit and improving the resolution.

[0051] Figure 2 is a plan view of a display panel in another embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 3 for Figure 2 The enlarged schematic diagram of the M part in the figure. In order to improve the aperture ratio, Figure 2 As shown, the first sub-pixel 10 may further include a first end portion 12 , and the first end portion 12 is located at both sides of the first body portion 11 along the second direction Y. The first end portion 12 has a shape of a first triangle and is connected to the first body portion 11 .

[0052] The second sub-pixel 20 further includes a second end portion 22 , which is located at both sides of the second body portion 21 along the first direction X. The second end portion 22 has a second triangle shape and is connected to the second body portion 21 .

[0053] It should be noted that the shape of the first end portion 12 includes a first triangle, which should be understood as the first end portion 12 including three vertices, and the lines connecting the three vertices can form a triangle; the shape of the second end portion 22 includes a second triangle, which should be understood as the second end portion 22 including three vertices, and the three vertices can form a triangle. When the first end portion 12 is connected to the first body portion 11, the two vertices of the first end portion 12 close to the first body portion 11 are shared with the first body portion 11; when the second end portion 22 is connected to the second body portion 21, the two vertices of the second end portion 22 close to the second body portion 21 are shared with the second body portion 21.

[0054] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment, there is a blank area 40 between two adjacent first sub-pixels 10 and two adjacent second sub-pixels 20 , and the blank area 40 causes the aperture ratio to decrease. Figure 2In the embodiment, the shape of the first end 12 is set to a first triangle, and the shape of the second end 22 is set to a second triangle, so that the first end 12 and the second end 22 can occupy part of the blank area 40 to the maximum extent, thereby increasing the area of ​​the first sub-pixel 10 and the area of ​​the second sub-pixel 20, reducing the area of ​​the blank area 40, improving the pixel aperture ratio, and improving the pixel brightness, thereby reducing power consumption when the pixel brightness is the same.

[0055] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the corresponding edges of the adjacent first end 12 and the second end 22 may be parallel to each other. Figure 3 In the embodiment, the sub-edge 12a of the first end portion 12 corresponds to the sub-edge 22a of the second end portion 22, and the sub-edge 12a of the first end portion 12 and the sub-edge 22a of the second end portion 22 are parallel to each other.

[0056] The corresponding edges of the first end portion 12 and the second end portion 22 are both straight lines, so that the pattern shapes of the first end portion 12 and the second end portion 22 are both straight line triangles. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the two sub-edges 12a and the sub-edge 12b outside the first end 12 are both straight lines, and the two sub-edges 22a and the sub-edge 22b outside the second end 22 are both straight lines. Exemplarily, the two sub-edges 12a and the sub-edge 12b outside the first end 12 can be equal, so that the pattern shape of the first end 12 is an isosceles triangle; the two sub-edges 22a and the sub-edge 22b outside the second end 22 can be equal, so that the pattern shape of the second end 22 is an isosceles triangle.

[0057] The sub-edge 12 c on the inner side of the first end portion 12 corresponds to the first main body portion 11 , and the sub-edge 22 c on the inner side of the second end portion 22 corresponds to the second main body portion 21 .

[0058] In another embodiment, the corresponding edges of the first end 12 and the second end 22 may be curved, for example, Figure 4 The sub-edge 12a outside the first end 12 is a concave curve, and the sub-edge 22a outside the second end 22 is a convex curve. The sub-edge 12a outside the first end 12 and the sub-edge 22a outside the second end 22 are parallel to each other.

[0059] In the present disclosure, the sub-edge on the outside of the first end is the sub-edge of the first end opposite to the second end, for example, the sub-edge 12a and the sub-edge 12b of the first end 12; the sub-edge on the inside of the first end is the edge of the first end opposite to the first main body portion, for example, the sub-edge 12c of the first end 12; the sub-edge on the outside of the second end is the sub-edge of the second end opposite to the first end, for example, the sub-edge 22a and the sub-edge 22b of the second end 22; the sub-edge on the inside of the second end is the edge of the second end opposite to the second main body portion, for example, the sub-edge 22c of the second end 22.

[0060] It should be noted that in the present disclosure, the corresponding edges of the two patterns are parallel to each other. It should be understood that the distance between the two edges is equal everywhere along the extension direction of the edges. The two edges can be parallel to each other in the form of curves, parallel to each other in the form of straight lines, or parallel to each other in the form of broken lines.

[0061] Therefore, in the present disclosure, the sub-edge 12a on the outside of the first end 12 and the sub-edge 22a on the outside of the second end 22 can both be straight lines and parallel to each other; or, the sub-edge 12a on the outside of the first end 12 and the sub-edge 22a on the outside of the second end 22 can both be curved, and the corresponding sub-edges can be parallel to each other.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the edge of the first body portion 11 opposite to the third sub-pixel 30 is parallel to the first edge 31 of the third sub-pixel 30, and the first edge 31 is the edge of the third sub-pixel 30 opposite to the first body portion 11. Figure 3 In the embodiment, the edge 11a of the first body portion 11 is opposite to and parallel to the first edge 31a on the left side of the third sub-pixel 30, and the edge 11b of the first body portion 11 is opposite to and parallel to the first edge 31b on the right side of the third sub-pixel 30.

[0063] The first edge 31 may extend along the second direction Y, and the first edge 31 may be in a straight line shape, such as Figure 3 Then, the edge of the first body portion 11 opposite to the third sub-pixel 30 is also a straight line extending along the second direction Y.

[0064] In another embodiment, the first edge 31 may be curved, and the edge of the first body portion 11 corresponding to the first edge 31 may also be curved. For example, the first edge 31 may be a concave curve, the edge of the first body portion 11 corresponding to the first edge 31 may be a convex curve, and the edge of the first body portion 11 corresponding to the first edge 31 may be parallel to the first edge 31.

[0065] The length of the edge of the first body portion 11 opposite to the third sub-pixel 30 is equal to the length of the first edge 31. Figure 3 In the embodiment, the edge 11 a of the first body portion 11 is equal in length to the first edge 31 a of the third sub-pixel 30 , and the edge 11 b of the first body portion 11 is equal in length to the first edge 31 b of the third sub-pixel 30 .

[0066] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the shape of the first body portion 11 includes a continuous first parallelogram. Two adjacent sides of the first parallelogram extend respectively along the first direction X and the second direction Y. When the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other, the shape of the first body portion 11 can be a rectangle.

[0067] exist Figure 2 In the embodiment, the shape of the second body portion 21 may be the same as the shape of the first body portion 11. For example, the edge of the second body portion 21 opposite to the third sub-pixel 30 is parallel to the second edge 32 of the third sub-pixel 30, and the second edge 32 is the edge of the third sub-pixel 30 opposite to the second body portion 21. The second edge 32 extends along the first direction X, and the second edge 32 may be a straight line. The length of the edge of the second body portion 21 opposite to the third sub-pixel 30 is equal to the length of the second edge 32. The shape of the second body portion 21 may include a continuous fourth parallelogram, and two adjacent edges of the fourth parallelogram extend along the first direction X and the second direction Y, respectively. When the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other, the shape of the second body portion 21 may be a rectangle.

[0068] Figure 5 This is a schematic plan view of a display panel in another embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 for Figure 5 The enlarged schematic diagram of the M part. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first body portion 11 may include at least two first sub-patterns 111 arranged along the second direction Y, the shape of the first sub-pattern 111 may include a second parallelogram, and a first preset gap d1 is provided between two adjacent first sub-patterns 111. The value of the first preset gap d1 may be set as required, and in actual implementation, the value of the first preset gap d1 may be the minimum value allowed by the manufacturing process.

[0069] exist Figure 5 In the embodiment, the shape of the second body portion 21 may be the same as that of the first body portion 11. For example, the second body portion 21 may include at least two fifth sub-patterns 211 arranged along the first direction X, the shape of the second sub-pattern 211 may include a fifth parallelogram, and a sixth preset gap d6 is provided between two adjacent fifth sub-patterns 211. The value of the sixth preset gap d6 may be set as required, and in actual implementation, the value of the sixth preset gap d6 may be the minimum value allowed by the manufacturing process.

[0070] Figure 7 This is a schematic plan view of a display panel in another embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 for Figure 7 The enlarged schematic diagram of the M part. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first sub-pixel 10 includes a second sub-pattern 101 and a third sub-pattern 102 arranged along the second direction Y, and a second preset gap d2 is provided between the second sub-pattern 101 and the third sub-pattern 102. The second sub-pattern 101 and the third sub-pattern 102 are symmetrical with respect to the center line of the second preset gap d2 along the second direction Y. Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the embodiment, the second sub-pattern 101 and the third sub-pattern 102 are bilaterally symmetrical. The second sub-pattern 101 is in the shape of a pentagon, and the third sub-pattern 102 is also in the shape of a pentagon, and the two pentagons are symmetrical to each other.

[0071] For example, the shape of the first body portion 11 includes a first parallelogram, and the first end portions 12 located on both sides of the first body portion 11 are connected to the first body portion 11. Thus, the shape of the first sub-pixel 10 is a hexagon. The second preset gap d2 can be used as a partition to divide the hexagonal first sub-pixel 10 into a second sub-pattern 101 and a third sub-pattern 102. Although the first sub-pixel 10 includes the second sub-pattern 101 and the third sub-pattern 102, the overall shape of the first sub-pixel 10 is a hexagon.

[0072] In one embodiment, the second sub-pixel 20 includes a sixth sub-pattern 201 and a seventh sub-pattern 202 arranged along the first direction X, and a seventh preset gap is provided between the sixth sub-pattern 201 and the seventh sub-pattern 202. The sixth sub-pattern 201 and the seventh sub-pattern 202 may be symmetrical with respect to a center line of the seventh preset gap along the first direction X. Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the embodiment, the sixth sub-pattern 201 and the seventh sub-pattern 202 are symmetrical in vertical direction. The sixth sub-pattern 201 is in the shape of a pentagon, and the seventh sub-pattern 202 is also in the shape of a pentagon, and the two pentagons are symmetrical to each other.

[0073] When the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y, the shape of the first body portion 11 is a rectangle, so the shape of the first sub-pixel 10 is a hexagon. The size of the first body portion 11 in the second direction Y is the same as the length of the first edge 31. The first sub-pixel 10 can be a symmetrical pattern. For example, Figure 3-Figure 8 In the embodiment, the first sub-pixel 10 is not only symmetrical in left and right directions, but also symmetrical in top and bottom directions.

[0074] The first main body 11 is in a rectangular shape. The size of the first main body 11 in the first direction X is smaller than the size in the second direction Y. The first main body 11 is a rectangle. Therefore, the shape of the first sub-pixel 10 is a flat hexagon. Figure 2-Figure 8 shown.

[0075] It should be noted that, in this article, “the shape of a sub-pixel” should be understood as the overall shape of the sub-pixel.

[0076] To facilitate pixel preparation, the pattern of the second sub-pixel 20 may be the same as that of the first sub-pixel 10 , that is, the pattern shape of the second sub-pixel 20 is not only the same as that of the first sub-pixel 10 , but also the size of the corresponding edges is the same.

[0077] The size of the first sub-pixel 10 in the first direction X may be smaller than its size in the second direction Y, and therefore, the length direction of the first sub-pixel 10 is arranged along the second direction Y. When the pattern of the second sub-pixel 20 may be the same as that of the first sub-pixel 10, the length direction of the second sub-pixel 20 is arranged along the first direction X, such as Figure 1-Figure 8 shown.

[0078] like Figure 3 As shown, the gap between the first sub-pixel 10 and the third sub-pixel 30 in the first direction X is the third preset gap d3, and the gap between the second sub-pixel 20 and the third sub-pixel 30 in the second direction Y is the fourth preset gap d4. The third preset gap d3 and the fourth preset gap d4 may be the same.

[0079] A gap between corresponding edges of adjacent first sub-pixels 10 and second sub-pixels 20 is a fifth preset gap d5 , and the fifth preset gap d5 may be the same as the third preset gap d3 .

[0080] The value of each preset gap can be set as needed. In actual implementation, the value of each preset gap can be the minimum value allowed by the preparation process.

[0081] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the first edge 311 of the third sub-pixel 30 may extend along the second direction Y, and the second edge 32 of the third sub-pixel 30 may extend along the first direction X. The first edge 31 and the second edge 32 have the same length, that is, the shape of the third sub-pixel 30 may be a rhombus. When the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other, the shape of the third sub-pixel 30 is a square.

[0082] The shape of the third sub-pixel 30 may be a continuous third parallelogram, such as a continuous square or rhombus. Figure 1-Figure 8 shown.

[0083] Fig. 9FIG. 3 is an enlarged schematic diagram of a portion M of a display panel in another embodiment. In another embodiment, the third sub-pixel 30 may include at least two fourth sub-patterns 301, and a sixth preset gap d6 is provided between two adjacent fourth sub-patterns 301. Fig. 9 In the embodiment, the third sub-pixel 30 includes two fourth sub-patterns 301 arranged along the first direction X, and the fourth sub-pattern 301 is rectangular. The value of the sixth preset gap may be the minimum value allowed by the manufacturing process.

[0084] In other embodiments, the fourth sub-patterns in the third sub-pixel 30 may be different. For example, different fourth sub-patterns may be different polygons, as long as the fourth sub-patterns in the third sub-pixel 30 can be spliced ​​into the overall shape of the third sub-pixel 30.

[0085] It should be noted that the shape structure of each sub-pixel is exemplarily described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that the shape structure of each sub-pixel is not limited to the structure shown in the drawings, and each sub-pixel can be set to a plurality of different sub-patterns as needed. As long as the overall arrangement of each sub-pixel is the same as that disclosed in the present invention, it falls within the scope defined in the present invention.

[0086] The pixel unit generally includes a red sub-pixel R, a green sub-pixel G, and a blue sub-pixel B. In the present disclosure, one of the first sub-pixel 10, the second sub-pixel 20, and the third sub-pixel 30 may be a red sub-pixel R, another may be a green sub-pixel G, and another may be a blue sub-pixel B.
