Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of display technologies, and particularly to a display panel, a display module, and a display device. Background Art

[0002] In some liquid crystal display panels, a liquid crystal layer is used to implement image display in a display area, and a light-emitting diode is used as a light-emitting device in an indicator area located outside the boundary of the display area, so as to achieve light emission in the indicator area. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present disclosure is to provide a display panel, a display module, and a display device for improving the preparation efficiency of the display panel.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide the following technical solutions:

[0005] On the one hand, a display panel is provided. The display panel has a display area and a light-transmitting area located on at least one side of the display area. The light-transmitting area emits light of one color within one light-emitting cycle. The display panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate disposed opposite to each other, and a first pixel circuit, a second pixel circuit, a liquid crystal layer, and a sealing portion disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The sealing portion surrounds the liquid crystal layer. The first pixel circuit is located in the display area and includes a first pixel electrode and a first common electrode, and the first pixel electrode and the first common electrode are configured to drive the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer to move. The second pixel circuit is located in the light-transmitting area and includes a second pixel electrode and a second common electrode, and the second pixel electrode and the second common electrode are configured to drive the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer to move.

[0006] The first pixel electrode is disposed on the first substrate. The display panel further includes: a first polarizer disposed on a side of the first substrate away from the second substrate, and a second polarizer disposed on a side of the second substrate away from the first substrate. In the orthographic projection onto the first substrate, the light-transmitting area overlaps both the first polarizer and the second polarizer. In the orthographic projection onto the first substrate, at least a part of the sealing portion is located outside the boundary of the first polarizer.

[0007] In the above display panel, the sealing portion is, for example, a sealant. When forming the sealing portion, the sealant is filled within a preset position, and then, methods such as light irradiation are used to cure the sealant to form the sealing portion. The polarizer will block part of the light and convert the light into linearly polarized light. Therefore, there will be a certain loss of light when passing through the polarizer. By locating at least a part of the sealing portion outside the boundary of the first polarizer, in this way, when curing the sealant, the light can directly irradiate on the sealant, which is beneficial to quickly curing the sealant and improving the preparation efficiency of the display panel.

[0008] In some embodiments, the display panel further has a sensor area located on one side of the display area, the sensor area is located in the liquid crystal sealing area, the sensor area is located outside the boundary of the first polarizer, and the second polarizer has a fifth opening corresponding to the sensor area.

[0009] In some embodiments, the fifth opening surrounds the sensor region in an orthographic projection onto the first substrate.

[0010] In some embodiments, in the orthographic projection onto the first substrate, the display area and the light-transmitting area fall within the range of the first polarizer, and the minimum distance between the boundary of the first polarizer and the boundary of the display area and the light-transmitting area is d1, 0<d1≤3mm.

[0011] In some embodiments, the display panel further comprises: a support structure arranged side by side with the first polarizer along a plane parallel to the first substrate. In an orthographic projection onto the first substrate, the support structure is located outside the boundary of the first polarizer and extends along the boundary of the first polarizer. The support structure avoids the sensor area.

[0012] In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the support structure and the first polarizer is d2, and d2≥6 μm.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first common electrode has a plurality of first slits, and the second common electrode has a plurality of second slits. The display panel further includes: a first alignment layer disposed on a side of the liquid crystal layer close to the first substrate, and a second alignment layer disposed on a side of the liquid crystal layer close to the second substrate. Both the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer are rubbing alignment layers, and the shapes of the first slit and the second slit are the same; or both the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer are optical alignment layers, and the shapes of the first slit and the second slit are the same or different.

[0014] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first alignment layer and / or the second alignment layer within the area defined by the sensor region is zero.

[0015] In some embodiments, the shape of the light-transmitting area includes at least one of a circle, an oval, a square, a diamond, a rectangle, an L-shape, a "匚" shape, or a "囗" shape.

[0016] In some embodiments, the display panel is free of conductive material in the sensor area.

[0017] In some embodiments, the inner side wall of the sealing frame portion is used to define a liquid crystal sealing area, and the display area and the light-transmitting area are both located in the liquid crystal sealing area.

[0018] On the other hand, a display module is provided. The display module comprises: a display panel provided in any of the above embodiments, and a circuit board.

[0020] In some embodiments, the display module further includes: a sensor disposed in the sensor area. The light-transmitting area is configured to change the color of the emitted light according to the change in the working state of the sensor.

[0021] On the other hand, a display device is provided. The display device includes: a display panel as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0022] The above display device has the same structure and beneficial technical effects as the display panel provided in some of the above embodiments, and will not be elaborated herein. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments provided by the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0072] Unless the context otherwise requires, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" and its other forms, such as the third-person singular form "comprises" and the present participle form "comprising", are to be construed in an open, inclusive sense, i.e., "including, but not limited to".

In addition, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be included in any one or more embodiments or examples in any appropriate manner.

[0073] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

For example, "connected" may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. The term "coupled" indicates, for example, that two or more components have direct physical contact or electrical contact. The term "coupled" or "communicatively coupled" may also refer to two or more components that do not have direct contact with each other but still cooperate or interact with each other. The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited to the content herein.

[0076] "A and / or B" includes the following three combinations: only A, only B, and the combination of A and B.

[0077] As used herein, depending on context, the term "if" is optionally construed to mean "when" or "while" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting". Similarly, depending on context, the phrase "if it is determined that..." or "if [stated condition or event] is detected" is optionally construed to mean "when it is determined that..." or "in response to determining..." or "when [stated condition or event] is detected" or "in response to detecting [stated condition or event]".

[0078] As used herein, the use of "configured to" or "adapted to" means open and inclusive language that does not exclude devices that are adapted to or configured to perform additional tasks or steps.

[0079] Additionally, the use of "based on" means open and inclusive, as a process, step, calculation, or other action that is "based on" one or more stated conditions or values can in practice be based on additional conditions or values beyond those stated.

[0080] As used herein, "about", "substantially", or "approximately" includes the stated value and an average within an acceptable deviation range of the particular value, where the acceptable deviation range is determined by one of ordinary skill in the art in view of the measurement being discussed and the errors associated with the measurement of a particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system).

[0082] It should be understood that when a layer or element is referred to as being on another layer or substrate, it can be that the layer or element is directly on the other layer or substrate, or there can be an intermediate layer between the layer or element and the other layer or substrate.

[0083] Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views and / or plan views that are idealized exemplary drawings. In the drawings, the thickness of layers and the area of regions are exaggerated for clarity. Thus, variations in the shape relative to the drawings due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances are contemplated. Accordingly, the exemplary embodiments should not be construed as limited to the shape of the regions shown herein, but include shape deviations resulting from, for example, manufacturing. For example, an etched region shown as rectangular will typically have curved features. Thus, the regions shown in the drawings are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to depict the actual shape of the regions of the device and are not intended to limit the scope of the exemplary embodiments.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 1 FIG. is a plan view of a display device 10000. For the sake of clearly describing the structure of the display device 10000, only a part of the first sub-pixel region P1 is shown in the figure, and the number of the first sub-pixel regions P1 is not limited to that shown in the figure.

[0085] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display device 10000. The display device 10000 may be any device that displays moving (e.g., video), stationary (e.g., still image), text, or images. More specifically, it is contemplated that the embodiments may be implemented in or associated with a variety of electronic devices, such as (but not limited to) mobile phones, wireless devices, personal data assistants (PDAs), handheld or portable computers, GPS receivers / navigators, cameras, MP4 video players, video cameras, game consoles, watches, clocks, calculators, television monitors, flat panel displays, computer monitors, automotive displays (e.g., odometer displays, etc.), navigators, cockpit controllers and / or displays, displays of camera views (e.g., displays of rear view cameras in vehicles), electronic photos, electronic billboards or signs, projectors, architectural structures, packaging, and aesthetic structures (e.g., displays of images of a piece of jewelry), etc.

[0086] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the display device 10000 includes a display module 1000 and a backlight module 2000. The display module 1000 is disposed on the light-emitting side of the backlight module 2000. The backlight module 2000 is configured to provide backlight to the display module 1000.

[0087] The display module 1000 also has a display area AA and a light-transmitting area BB located on at least one side of the display area AA. The backlight module 2000 has a first backlight area BG1 and a second backlight area BG2. The orthographic projection of the display area AA of the display module 1000 on the backlight module 2000 is within the range of the first backlight area BG1, and the orthographic projection of the light-transmitting area BB of the display module 1000 on the backlight module 2000 is within the range of the second backlight area BG2.

[0088] Exemplarily, the turning on and off of the first backlight area BG1 and the second backlight area BG2 can be independently controlled.

[0089] Based on this, when no picture is displayed in the display area AA, the first backlight area BG1 is turned off, and at this time the second backlight area BG2 can be in an on state, so that when the display module 1000 does not display a picture, the light-transmitting area BB can also emit light.

[0090] Exemplarily, the backlight module 2000 can be a direct-lit backlight module or a side-lit backlight module. Specific adaptive designs can be made according to needs, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0091] Exemplarily, the display device 10000 may further include a sensor 300 disposed in the sensor area CC. The sensor includes but is not limited to at least one of a camera module, a fingerprint recognition module, a light sensor, a microphone module, etc.

[0092] Exemplarily, the above display device 10000 may further include a frame and other electronic accessories, etc. Among them, the display module 1000 can be disposed in the frame, for example.

[0093] As Figure 3 shown, the display module 1000 includes: a display panel 100 and a circuit board 200, and the circuit board 200 is electrically connected to the display panel 100. The circuit board 200 is configured to send a driving signal to the display panel 100. The driving signal includes but is not limited to a display driving signal and / or a touch driving signal. The display panel 100 displays an image and / or responds to a touch operation under the drive of the circuit board 200.

[0094] The circuit board 200 includes but is not limited to a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) or an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit).

[0095] Figures 4 to 7It is a planar structure diagram of the display panel 100. To facilitate a clear description of the setting manner of the light-transmitting area BB, only the positional relationship among the display area AA, the light-transmitting area BB, and the sensor area CC of the display panel 100 is shown in the figure. It can be understood that there are also other structures provided in the display panel 100.

[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 7 shown, the display panel 100 has a display area AA and a light-transmitting area BB located on at least one side (one side or at least two sides) of the display area AA.

[0097] The sensor area CC can be located within the display area AA or on at least one side of the display area AA. The present disclosure does not limit this. The light-transmitting area BB can emit light of at least one (one or at least two) color(s). The emitted light color of the light-transmitting area BB includes, but is not limited to, at least one of any colors such as red, green, blue, orange, or white.

[0098] In some examples, the light-transmitting area is configured to change the emitted light color according to the change in the working state of the camera module sensor. The light-transmitting area BB is configured to change the emitted light color according to the change in the working state of the sensor 300 within the sensor area CC. Among them, the working state of the sensor 300 includes: the on state and the off state. The light-transmitting area BB is configured to emit light of one color in response to the on state of the sensor 300; in response to the off state of the sensor 300, it emits light of another color or does not emit light.

[0099] In the case where the light-transmitting area BB does not emit light when the sensor 300 is in the off state, when the sensor 300 is in the working state, the light-transmitting area BB can emit green light, red light, blue light, orange light, or white light, etc.

[0100] In the case where the light-transmitting area BB emits light both when the sensor 300 is in the on state and the off state, it can be that when the sensor 300 is in the on state, the light-transmitting area BB emits green light, and when the sensor 300 is in the off state, the light-transmitting area BB emits red light; or it can be that when the sensor 300 is in the on state, the light-transmitting area BB emits blue light, and when the sensor 300 is in the off state, the light-transmitting area BB emits orange light.

[0101] Specifically, it can be adaptively designed according to actual needs. This is only an exemplary illustration here and does not limit the present disclosure.

[0102] Exemplarily, when the sensor 300 is in the on state, the light-emitting color of the light-transmitting region BB can also emit different colors of light according to different working states of the sensor 300. For example, when the sensor 300 is in the first working state, the light-transmitting region BB emits light of the first color; when the sensor 300 is in the second working state, the light-transmitting region BB emits light of the second color. The first color light and the second color light can be the same color or different colors, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0103] Based on this, in the case where the sensor 300 is a camera module, when the camera module is in the state of taking pictures, the light-transmitting region BB emits light of the first color; when the camera module is in the video recording state, the light-transmitting region BB emits light of the second color.

[0104] Exemplarily, the number of sensors 300 can be one or more.

[0105] In the case where the display module 1000 includes one sensor 300, the sensor 300 is disposed in one sensor region CC.

[0106] In the case where the display module 1000 includes multiple sensors 300, the multiple sensors 300 can be respectively disposed in multiple sensor regions CC, that is, one sensor 300 is disposed in each sensor region CC; or, the multiple sensors 300 are disposed in the same sensor region CC, that is, multiple sensors 300 are disposed in one sensor region CC.

[0107] The number of sensors 300 and the specific implementation manner of the sensors 300 can be adaptively designed according to actual needs, and are only used as exemplary illustrations here and do not limit the present disclosure.

[0108] In some embodiments, the display module 1000 may include one sensor 300 and one light-transmitting region BB. In this case, the light-emitting color of the light-transmitting region BB changes according to the change of the working state of the sensor 300. Or, the display module 1000 includes one sensor 300 and multiple light-transmitting regions BB. In this case, at least one light-transmitting region BB among the multiple light-transmitting regions BB changes its light-emitting color according to the working state of the sensor 300.

[0109] The light-transmitting region BB changing its light-emitting color can be that the light-emitting color of the light-transmitting region BB changes according to the change of the working state of the sensor 300. When the sensor 300 is in the working state, the light-transmitting region BB emits light of one color, and when the sensor 300 is in the non-working state, the light-transmitting region BB emits light of another color. Whether the sensor 300 is in the working state is distinguished by the different light-emitting colors of the light-transmitting region BB.

[0110] Alternatively, the light-transmitting area BB changes the luminous color, and the light-transmitting area BB may emit light or not emit light according to the change of the working state of the sensor 300. For example, when the sensor 300 is in the working state, the light-transmitting area BB associated with the sensor 300 emits light, and when the sensor 300 is in the non-working state, the light-transmitting area BB does not emit light, and whether the sensor 300 is in the working state is distinguished by whether the light-transmitting area BB associated with the sensor 300 emits light.

[0111] The display module 1000 may also include a plurality of sensors 300 and a light-transmitting area BB. In this case, the light-transmitting area BB changes the light color according to the change of the working state of at least one sensor 300 among the plurality of sensors 300.

[0112] For example, when the multiple sensors 300 are in a non-working state, the light-transmitting area BB does not emit light, or emits a first color light; when at least one sensor 300 among the multiple sensors 300 is in a working state, the light-transmitting area BB emits a second color light, and the second color light is different from the color of the first color light.

[0113] The display module 1000 may also include a plurality of sensors 300 and a plurality of light-transmitting areas BB, each light-transmitting area BB being arranged corresponding to a sensor 300. In this case, each light-transmitting area BB changes the luminous color according to the change of the working state of the sensor 300 associated therewith.

[0114] Exemplarily, the number of light-transmitting areas BB is greater than or equal to 1. The shape of the light-transmitting area BB includes but is not limited to at least one of a circle, an ellipse, a square, a diamond, a rectangle, an L-shape, a "匚" shape or a "囗" shape.

[0115] In the case where the display panel 100 includes a light-transmitting area BB, the light-transmitting area BB may be located on at least one side of the display area AA. For example, the light-transmitting area BB is located on either side of the display area AA (for example, located on the upper side of the display area AA), and its shape may be a circle (for example, Figure 1 As shown in the figure), oval, square, diamond or rectangle. As another example, the light-transmitting area BB may be located on at least two sides of the display area. Figure 4 As shown, the light-transmitting area BB is located on both sides of the display area to form an L shape; as another example, Figure 5 As shown, the light-transmitting area BB is located on three sides of the display area, forming a "匚" shape; as another example, Figure 6 As shown, the light-transmitting area BB is located on four sides of the display area, forming a "囗" shape.

[0116] like Figure 7As shown, when the display panel 100 includes a plurality of light-transmitting regions BB, each light-transmitting region BB can be located on at least one side of the display region AA. Exemplarily, each light-transmitting region BB is located on one side of the display region AA; the plurality of light-transmitting regions BB can be all arranged on the same side of the display region AA, or respectively arranged on different sides of the display region AA. For example, the display panel 100 includes M1 (M1≥2) light-transmitting regions BB1, the M1 light-transmitting regions BB1 are located on the same side of the display region AA, and the M1 light-transmitting regions BB1 are arranged along the extending direction of the display region edge. Another example is that the display panel 100 includes M2 (M2≥2) light-transmitting regions BB2, the M2 light-transmitting regions BB2 are located on the same side of the display region AA, and the M1 light-transmitting regions BB2 are arranged along the direction perpendicular to the display region AA edge.

[0117] The light-transmitting region BB is located outside the display region AA of the display panel 100. Therefore, the light-transmitting region BB will not affect the normal picture display of the display. There are no fixed requirements for the number, shape, size, light-emitting color, and setting position of the light-transmitting region BB, etc., and it can be adaptively designed according to actual needs, increasing the design flexibility of the display panel 100.

[0118] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the display region AA of the display panel 100 is configured to display an image under the drive of the circuit board 200. One frame of image is displayed within one display frame of the display region AA. The refresh rate of the display panel 100 can be 60HZ or 120HZ, etc. For example, the refresh rate of the display panel 100 is 60HZ; that is, within 1 second, multiple consecutive frames (for example, 60 frames) of images can be displayed in the display region AA. The consecutive multiple frames of images can be the same image or not completely the same image. Then, the duration of one display frame is Ts, and Ts is 1 / 60 second.

[0119] As Figure 1 shown, the display region AA of the display panel 100 includes a plurality of first sub-pixel regions P1, each first sub-pixel region P1 is configured to emit light of one color, and at least two of the plurality of first sub-pixel regions P1 emit light of different colors.

[0120] The plurality of first sub-pixel regions P1 include, for example, a red light first sub-pixel region P1(R) with a light-emitting color of red, a green light first sub-pixel region P1(G) with a light-emitting color of green, and a blue light first sub-pixel region P1(B) with a light-emitting color of blue. The plurality of first sub-pixel regions P1 can also include a white light first sub-pixel region P1(W) with a light-emitting color of white.

[0121] In some embodiments, as Figure 3As shown, the light-transmitting region BB included in the display panel 100 is configured to emit light of one color within one light-emitting cycle Tf of one light-transmitting region BB. The light-transmitting regions BB in two adjacent light-emitting cycles Tf may emit light of the same color or light of different colors.

[0122] Figure 8 For Figure 1 The enlarged structural diagram of the region V1 in the figure only shows a part of the first sub-pixel region P1 and a part of the second sub-pixel region P2, and the number of the first sub-pixel region P1 and the part of the second sub-pixel region P2 is not limited to that shown in the figure.

[0123] As Figure 8 As shown, the light-transmitting region BB of the display panel 100 includes one or more second sub-pixel regions P2, and each second sub-pixel region P2 is configured to emit light of one color. At least two of the multiple second sub-pixel regions P2 emit light of different colors, or all of the multiple second sub-pixel regions P2 emit light of the same color.

[0124] In the case where the light-transmitting region BB includes second sub-pixel regions P2 with multiple (two or more) light-emitting colors, the light-transmitting region BB includes at least one (one or more) light-transmitting unit (which may also be referred to as a repeating minimum unit or a pixel unit), and each light-transmitting unit includes second sub-pixel regions P2 with different light-emitting colors. The fact that the light-transmitting region BB emits light of one color within one light-emitting cycle Tf means that the light-transmitting units in the light-transmitting region BB all emit light of the same color within one light-emitting cycle Tf.

[0125] For example, the light-transmitting region BB includes multiple light-transmitting units, and each light-transmitting unit includes a red-light second sub-pixel region P2(R) and a green-light second sub-pixel region P2(G). Within one light-emitting cycle Tf, the red-light second sub-pixel region P2(R) emits red light, and the green-light second sub-pixel region P2(G) does not emit light. At this time, each light-transmitting unit emits red light, and the light-transmitting region BB emits red light. Or, within one light-emitting cycle Tf, the red-light second sub-pixel region P2(R) emits red light, and the green-light second sub-pixel region P2(G) emits green light. At this time, both red light and green light are emitted simultaneously within each light-transmitting unit, and the two colors are mixed to form yellow light, and the light-transmitting region BB emits yellow light.

[0126] For another example, the light-transmitting region BB includes a plurality of light-transmitting units, and each light-transmitting unit includes a second red sub-pixel region P2(R), a second green sub-pixel region P2(G), and a second blue sub-pixel region P2(B). During a light-emitting cycle Tf, the second red sub-pixel region P2(R) emits red light, and the second green sub-pixel region P2(G) and the second blue sub-pixel region P2(B) do not emit light. At this time, each light-transmitting unit emits red light, and the light-transmitting region BB emits red light; or, during a light-emitting cycle Tf, the second red sub-pixel region P2(R) emits red light, the second green sub-pixel region P2(G) emits green light, and the second blue sub-pixel region P2(B) emits blue light. At this time, red light, green light, and blue light are simultaneously emitted in each light-transmitting unit, and the three colors are mixed to form white light, and the light-transmitting region BB emits white light.

[0127] For yet another example, the light-transmitting region BB includes a plurality of light-transmitting units, and each light-transmitting unit includes a second white sub-pixel region P2(W). During a light-emitting cycle Tf, the plurality of second white sub-pixel regions P2(W) emit white light. At this time, each light-transmitting unit emits white light, and the light-transmitting region BB emits white light.

[0128] Of course, the light-transmitting region BB may also include only one light-transmitting unit, and the light-transmitting unit includes a second red sub-pixel region P2(R), a second green sub-pixel region P2(G), and a second blue sub-pixel region P2(B). During a light-emitting cycle Tf, the second red sub-pixel region P2(R) emits red light, and the second green sub-pixel region P2(G) and the second blue sub-pixel region P2(B) do not emit light. At this time, each light-transmitting unit emits red light, and the light-transmitting region BB emits red light; or, during a light-emitting cycle Tf, the second red sub-pixel region P2(R) emits red light, the second green sub-pixel region P2(G) emits green light, and the second blue sub-pixel region P2(B) emits blue light. At this time, the light-transmitting unit simultaneously emits red light, green light, and blue light, and the three colors are mixed to form white light, and the light-transmitting region BB emits white light.

[0129] The duration of all the second sub-pixel regions P2 that emit the same color light each time they are driven can be referred to as a light-emitting cycle Tf.

[0130] When the light-transmitting region BB includes a second sub-pixel region P2, the light-emitting color of the second sub-pixel region P2 can be any color, such as any one of red, green, blue, orange, and white. At this time, the duration of driving the second sub-pixel region P2 to emit light each time is used as a light-emitting cycle Tf.

[0131] When the light-transmitting region BB includes a plurality of second sub-pixel regions P2, the plurality of second sub-pixel regions P2 can each be of any color, such as any one of red, green, blue, orange, white, etc. For example, when the plurality of second sub-pixel regions P2 emit light of the same color, the duration of driving all the second sub-pixel regions P2 to emit light each time can be referred to as a light-emitting period Tf. Another example is when at least two of the plurality of second sub-pixel regions P2 emit light of different colors. In this case, the duration of driving all the second sub-pixel regions P2 that initially emit light of the same color each time can be used as a light-emitting period Tf.

[0132] For example, the plurality of second sub-pixel regions P2 can include a red-light second sub-pixel region P2(R) with a light-emitting color of red and a green-light second sub-pixel region P2(G) with a light-emitting color of green.

[0133] At this time, the duration of driving all the red-light second sub-pixel regions P2 to emit light once is a light-emitting period Tf, and the duration of driving all the green-light second sub-pixel regions P2 to emit light once is also a light-emitting period Tf.

[0134] Within the same light-emitting period Tf, the light-transmitting region BB of the display panel 100 emits light of the same color. For example, the light-transmitting region BB of the display panel 100 can emit red light within at least one (one or a continuous plurality of) light-emitting periods Tf, and the light-transmitting region BB of the display panel 100 can emit green light within at least one (one or a continuous plurality of) other light-emitting periods Tf.

[0135] Another example is that the plurality of second sub-pixel regions P2 further includes a blue-light second sub-pixel region P2(B) with a light-emitting color of blue.

[0136] At this time, the duration of driving all the red-light second sub-pixel regions P2(R) to emit light once is a light-emitting period Tf, the duration of driving all the green-light second sub-pixel regions P2(G) to emit light once is also a light-emitting period Tf, and the duration of driving all the blue-light second sub-pixel regions P2(B) to emit light once is also a light-emitting period Tf.

[0137] Within one light-emitting period Tf, the light-transmitting region BB of the display panel 100 emits light of at least two colors. For example, within at least one (one or a continuous plurality of) light-emitting periods Tf, the red-light second sub-pixel region P2(R), the green-light second sub-pixel region P2(G), and the blue-light second sub-pixel region P2(B) all emit light; within at least one (one or a continuous plurality of) light-emitting periods Tf, the red-light second sub-pixel region P2(R), the green-light second sub-pixel region P2(G), and the blue-light second sub-pixel region P2(B) all do not emit light.

[0138] In this way, the light emitted by the red second sub-pixel region P2(R), the green second sub-pixel region P2(G), and the blue second sub-pixel region P2(B) is mixed, so that the light-transmitting region BB of the display panel 100 can emit white light within at least one (one or a plurality of consecutive) light-emitting periods Tf. When the red second sub-pixel region P2(R), the green second sub-pixel region P2(G), and the blue second sub-pixel region P2(B) do not emit light, the light-transmitting region BB of the display panel 100 can not emit light within at least one (one or a plurality of consecutive) other light-emitting periods Tf.

[0139] For another example, a plurality of second sub-pixel regions P2 are all white light second sub-pixel regions P2(W) with a white light-emitting color.

[0140] At this time, the duration for driving all the white light second sub-pixel regions P2 to emit light once is one light-emitting period Tf.

[0141] In this way, the light-transmitting region BB of the display panel 100 can emit white light within at least one (one or a plurality of consecutive) light-emitting periods Tf, and the light-transmitting region BB of the display panel 100 can not emit light within at least one (one or a plurality of consecutive) other light-emitting periods Tf.

[0142] The colors of the light emitted by the first sub-pixel region P1 and the second sub-pixel region P2 can be adaptively designed according to actual needs. This is for illustrative purposes only and does not limit the present disclosure.

[0143] In some application scenarios, the light-transmitting region BB can be used as an ambient light or a "breathing light" of the display panel 100, and the light-transmitting region BB can emit different colors of light statically / dynamically.

[0144] One light-emitting stage of the light-transmitting region BB includes a plurality of consecutive light-emitting periods Tf, and the light-transmitting region BB emits light within these plurality of consecutive light-emitting periods Tf. When two adjacent light-emitting periods Tf of the light-transmitting region BB are not consecutive, these two adjacent light-emitting periods Tf belong to different light-emitting stages respectively.

[0145] Based on this, the fact that the light-transmitting region BB emits different colors of light statically means that the light-transmitting region BB emits the same color of light within the same light-emitting stage. The fact that the light-transmitting region BB emits different colors of light dynamically means that the light-transmitting region BB emits the same or different colors of light within a plurality of consecutive light-emitting periods Tf, and the light-transmitting region BB can emit different colors of light within the same light-emitting stage.

[0146] In some embodiments, we will elaborate on the structure of the display panel 100 shown above. The display panel 100 can be a liquid crystal display panel (LCD for short). The display panel 100 includes: a first substrate 1 and a second substrate 6 disposed opposite to each other, a liquid crystal layer 4 disposed between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 6, and a sealing frame portion 5 disposed between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 6. The sealing frame portion 5 is disposed around the liquid crystal layer 4, and the inner sidewall of the sealing frame portion 5 is used to define a liquid crystal sealing region SA. The display region AA, the light-transmitting region BB, and the sensor region CC are all located within the liquid crystal sealing region SA.

[0147] In the case where the display panel 100 is an LCD display panel, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, both the display region AA and the light-transmitting region BB utilize the liquid crystal layer 4 to emit light, thereby improving the utilization rate of the liquid crystal layer 4. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, without additionally providing a light-emitting device (such as a light-emitting diode), the light-emitting display of the light-transmitting region BB can be achieved. Compared with the technical solution of providing a light-emitting device in the light-transmitting region BB to achieve light-emitting display, the structure of the display panel 100 can be simplified, and the manufacturing steps of the display panel 100 can be reduced.

[0148] Moreover, to ensure the normal display of the display region AA, the coverage range of the liquid crystal layer 4 will be larger than the range of the display region AA. That is to say, the display region AA is within the edge (outer contour) of the liquid crystal layer 4. For example, in the orthographic projection onto the first substrate 1, the liquid crystal layer 4 surrounds the display region AA.

[0149] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the light-transmitting region BB also utilizes the liquid crystal layer 4 to emit light. For example, the light-transmitting region BB is within the range of the liquid crystal layer 4, that is, the light-transmitting region BB is also within the edge (outer contour) of the liquid crystal layer 4. Compared with the scheme of providing a light-emitting device in the light-transmitting region BB to achieve light-emitting, where the light-emitting device needs to be disposed outside the range of the liquid crystal layer 4, this embodiment can reduce the width of the border AN of the display panel 100, thereby increasing the screen-to-body ratio of the display panel 100.

[0150] Figure 9 For Figure 2 the enlarged structural diagram of region V2 in the middle. Figure 10 For the cross-sectional structural diagram of the display panel obtained according to Figure 8 the cross-sectional line G2G2 in the middle. For the convenience of describing the positional relationship between the closest first sub-pixel region P1 and the second sub-pixel region P2, only a part of the second sub-pixel region P2 and a part of the first sub-pixel region P1 are shown in the figure.

[0151] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the display panel 100 further includes: a first pixel circuit 2 and a second pixel circuit 3 disposed between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 6. The first pixel circuit 2 is located within the display area AA, and the second pixel circuit 3 is located within the light-transmitting area BB. The area defined by a single first pixel circuit 2 is a first sub-pixel area P1, and the area defined by a single second pixel circuit 3 is a second sub-pixel area P2.

[0152] The first pixel circuit 2 includes a first pixel electrode 21 and a first common electrode 22, and the first pixel electrode 21 and the first common electrode 22 are configured to drive the movement of liquid crystal molecules within the area defined by the first pixel circuit 2 in the liquid crystal layer 4.

[0153] The second pixel circuit 3 includes a second pixel electrode 31 and a second common electrode 32, and the second pixel electrode 31 and the second common electrode 32 are configured to drive the movement of liquid crystal molecules within the area defined by the second pixel circuit 3 in the liquid crystal layer 4.

[0154] The display area AA includes a plurality of first sub-pixel areas P1, and the light-transmitting area BB includes one or more second sub-pixel areas P2. Both the first sub-pixel area P1 and the second sub-pixel area P2 are liquid crystal display areas. The display panel 100 further includes a pixel circuit for driving the liquid crystal molecules in the corresponding areas of the display area AA and the light-transmitting area BB. The liquid crystal molecules are deflected by the pixel circuit to control the transmittance of the light emitted by the backlight module 2000, thereby realizing image display in the display module 1000.

[0155] The backlight module 2000 emits light of one color. To enable the display module 1000 to achieve color display, in some embodiments, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, the display panel 100 further includes: a color filter layer CF. The color filter layer CF includes a plurality of filter portions G.

[0156] The plurality of filter portions G at least includes a plurality of first filter portions G1 located in the display area AA. The plurality of first filter portions G1 are correspondingly arranged with the plurality of first sub-pixel areas P1, and the plurality of first filter portions G1 include filter portions G of at least two filter colors.

[0157] Exemplarily, the filter portions G of at least two filter colors are, for example, at least two of a first color filter portion G, a second color filter portion G, and a third color filter portion G. The first color, the second color, and the third color can be the primary colors, such as red, green, and blue.

[0158] Based on this, the first filter portion G1 includes, but is not limited to, a red light filter portion G, a green light filter portion G, and a blue light filter portion G. The filter portions G of different colors are configured to allow light within a set wavelength range to pass through and block light of other wavelengths.

[0159] For example, the backlight module 2000 can emit white light, and the wavelength range of the light emitted by the backlight module 2000 is, for example, 390 nm to 780 nm.

[0160] When the light emitted by the backlight module 2000 passes through the red light filtering part, the light with a wavelength range between 625 nm and 740 nm can pass through the red light filtering part and be emitted, and the light with the remaining wavelengths will be blocked by the red light filtering part and cannot be emitted, thereby ensuring that the light emitted through the red light filtering part is red light.

[0161] When the light emitted by the backlight module 2000 passes through the green light filtering part, the light with a wavelength range between 500 nm and 570 nm can pass through the green light filtering part and be emitted, and the light with the remaining wavelengths will be blocked by the green light filtering part and cannot be emitted, thereby ensuring that the light emitted through the green light filtering part is green light.

[0162] When the light emitted by the backlight module 2000 passes through the blue light filtering part, the light with a wavelength range between 450 nm and 490 nm can pass through the blue light filtering part and be emitted, and the light with the remaining wavelengths will be blocked by the blue light filtering part and cannot be emitted, thereby ensuring that the light emitted through the blue light filtering part is blue light.

[0163] In some embodiments, at least one second sub-pixel region P2 included in the light-transmitting region BB is configured to emit light of the same color, and the light emitted by the light-transmitting region BB has the same color as the light emitted by the backlight module 2000.

[0164] Based on this, the light emitted by the backlight module 2000 can be directly emitted after passing through the display module 1000 without changing the emission color, that is, the color filter layer CF may not be provided with a filtering part G in the region corresponding to the second sub-pixel region P2. In this case, the thickness of the region of the color filter layer CF corresponding to the second sub-pixel region P2 is 0.

[0165] In some other embodiments, as Figure 7 shown, the light emitted by at least one second sub-pixel region P2 included in the light-transmitting region BB has a different color from the light emitted by the backlight module 2000.

[0166] Based on this, as Figure 7 shown, the color filter layer CF further includes: one or more second filtering parts G2 located in the light-transmitting region BB, and each second filtering part G2 is correspondingly arranged with a second sub-pixel region P2. The plurality of second filtering parts G2 include filtering parts G of at least one filtering color.

[0167] When the light-transmitting region BB may include one or more second sub-pixel regions P2, the color filter layer CF may include one second light-filtering portion G2, and the second light-filtering portion G2 is disposed corresponding to the light-transmitting region BB. A single second light-filtering portion G2 may be disposed corresponding to one or more second sub-pixel regions P2. Alternatively, the color filter layer CF includes a plurality of second light-filtering portions G2, and each second light-filtering portion G2 is disposed corresponding to one second sub-pixel region P2.

[0168] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, the color filter layer CF includes a first light-filtering portion G1 and a second light-filtering portion G2, and the first light-filtering portion G1 and the second light-filtering portion G2 are disposed on the same layer.

[0169] It should be noted that the "same layer" mentioned in the present disclosure means a layer structure formed by using the same film-forming process to form a film layer for forming a specific pattern and then using the same mask through a single patterning process; or, it may also be formed on the same film layer structure by using different film-forming processes. According to the different specific patterns, a single patterning process may include multiple exposure, development or etching processes, and may also include an evaporation process, and the specific patterns in the formed layer structure may be continuous or discontinuous, and these specific patterns may also be at different heights or have different thicknesses.

[0170] The first light-filtering portion G1 and the second light-filtering portion G2 may be disposed in different film layer structures or in the same film layer structure. When the first light-filtering portion G1 and the second light-filtering portion G2 are disposed on the same layer, the first light-filtering portion G1 and the second light-filtering portion G2 may be formed in the same process step, thereby reducing the preparation steps of the display panel 100.

[0171] In some embodiments, the light-filtering portions G having the same light-filtering color are disposed on the same layer.

[0172] The light-filtering portions of the same color can be formed simultaneously in the same process step, thereby reducing the preparation steps of the display panel 100.

[0173] When the color filter layer CF only includes the first light-filtering portion G1, the first light-filtering portion G1 includes, for example, a plurality of first-color light-filtering portions, a plurality of second-color light-filtering portions, and a plurality of third-color light-filtering portions. The plurality of first-color light-filtering portions are disposed on the same layer and may be formed in the same process step, the plurality of second-color light-filtering portions are disposed on the same layer and may be formed in the same process step, and the plurality of third-color light-filtering portions are disposed on the same layer and may be formed in the same process step, thereby reducing the preparation steps of the display panel 100.

[0174] Based on this, multiple first color light filtering parts, multiple second color light filtering parts, and multiple third color light filtering parts can be arranged on the same layer. In this way, compared with the layered arrangement of the filtering parts G with different filtering colors, it is beneficial to realize the thinning design of the display panel 100.

[0175] When the color filter layer CF includes the first filtering part G1 and the second filtering part G2, the first filtering part G1 includes, for example, multiple first color light filtering parts, multiple second color light filtering parts, and multiple third color light filtering parts. The second filtering part G2 includes, for example, at least one first color light filtering part. The second filtering part G2 is arranged on the same layer as the first color light filtering part included in the first filtering part G1 and can be formed in the same process step.

[0176] In this way, compared with the layered arrangement of the first filtering part G1 and the second filtering part G2, while reducing the manufacturing steps of the display panel 100, it is also beneficial to realize the thinning design of the display panel 100.

[0177] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 shown, the display panel 100 further includes: a black matrix layer BM. The black matrix layer BM is configured to isolate the light emitted between adjacent first sub-pixel regions P1 to prevent color mixing in the display area AA.

[0178] Exemplarily, the boundary line of the black matrix layer BM is located outside the boundary line of the liquid crystal sealing area SA. In this way, the problem of light leakage of the display panel 100 can be avoided.

[0179] Exemplarily, as Figure 9 shown, the black matrix layer BM has a plurality of first openings K1 located in the display area AA, and the first openings K1 are correspondingly arranged with the first pixel electrodes 21. Along the arrangement direction of the light transmission area BB and the display area AA, the distance between two adjacent first openings K1 is q.

[0180] As Figure 1 shown, the light transmission area BB is located on one side of the display area AA along the first direction X, and the arrangement direction of the light transmission area BB and the display area AA is the first direction X as Figure 1 shown.

[0181] Exemplarily, each first filtering part G1 can be arranged in one first opening K1. In this way, the first filtering part G1 is arranged on the same layer as the black matrix layer BM, which is beneficial to realize the thinning of the display panel 100.

[0182] In some embodiments, as Figure 10 shown, the black matrix layer BM also has a second opening K2 located in the light transmission area BB, and the second opening K2 has the same size as the light transmission area BB.

[0183] In this case, the light-transmitting region BB may include a second sub-pixel region P2. Any one of a second light-filtering portion G2, a transparent filling portion, and a scattering particle portion may be disposed in the second opening K2.

[0184] When the second light-filtering portion G1 is disposed in the second opening K2, the second light-filtering portion G2 is disposed on the same layer as the black matrix layer BM, which is beneficial to realizing the thinning of the display panel 100.

[0185] In some embodiments, the display region AA is adjacent to the light-transmitting region BB. As Figure 9 shown, each first sub-pixel region P1 is located in a first opening K1 of the black matrix layer BM, and adjacent first sub-pixel regions P1 are separated by the black matrix layer BM to prevent color mixing of the light emitted from adjacent first sub-pixel regions P1, so as to ensure that each first sub-pixel region P1 only emits light of one color. Therefore, there is a gap of q (the distance between two adjacent first openings K1) between two adjacent first sub-pixel regions P1. Based on this, when the display region AA is adjacent to the light-transmitting region BB, the boundary of the first sub-pixel region P1 closest to the light-transmitting region BB is also surrounded by the black matrix layer BM, and there is also a gap between the first sub-pixel region P1 and the second sub-pixel region P2 with the closest distance.

[0186] In this case, the gap between the adjacent first sub-pixel region P1 and the second sub-pixel region P2 is the distance w between two adjacent first openings K1 and second openings K2 along the arrangement direction of the light-transmitting region BB and the display region AA, and w may be less than the distance q between two adjacent first openings K1.

[0187] Exemplarily, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, along the arrangement direction of the light-transmitting region BB and the display region AA, for example Figure 10 the first direction X shown in, the distance between the closest first opening K1 and second opening K2 is w, and 0.5q ≤ w ≤ 1.5q. The distance w between the closest first opening K1 and second opening K2 may be 0.5q, q, 1.2q, 1.5q, etc.

[0188] In other embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 8 shown, the display region AA and the light-transmitting region BB are spaced apart. In this case, exemplarily, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, along the arrangement direction of the light-transmitting region BB and the display region AA, for example Figure 10The first direction X shown in the figure, the distance between the closest first opening K1 and the second opening K2 is w, and w > 1.5q. The distance w between the closest first opening K1 and the second opening K2 can be 1.65q, 6.5q, 8q, 15q, 20q, etc.

[0189] In some other embodiments, as Figure 10 shown, the black matrix layer BM further has a plurality of third openings K3 located in the light-transmitting region BB, and the third openings K3 are correspondingly arranged with the second pixel electrodes 31.

[0190] In this case, the light-transmitting region BB may include a plurality of second sub-pixel regions P2. The black matrix layer BM is further configured to isolate the light emitted between adjacent second sub-pixel regions P2 to prevent color mixing in the light-transmitting region BB. Any one of a second light-filtering portion G2, a transparent filling portion, and a scattering particle portion may be provided in the third opening K3.

[0191] When the second light-filtering portion G1 is provided in the third opening K3, the second light-filtering portion G2 is provided on the same layer as the black matrix layer BM, which is beneficial to realizing the thinning of the display panel 100.

[0192] Exemplarily, along the arrangement direction of the light-transmitting region BB and the display region AA, for example Figure 10 the first direction X shown in the figure, the distance between the closest first opening K1 and the third opening K3 is r, 0.5q ≤ r ≤ 1.5q, or r > 1.5q. In some examples, the distance r between the closest first opening K1 and the third opening K3 can be 0.5q, 1.2q, 1.5q, etc. In some other examples, the distance r between the closest first opening K1 and the third opening K3 can be 1.65q, 6.5q, 8q, 15q, 20q, etc.

[0193] For the setting manners of the light-transmitting region BB and the display region AA and the setting manners of the first opening K1 and the second opening K3, refer to the description of the first opening K1 and the second opening K2 above, and details are not described herein again.

[0194] Based on the above, by controlling the distance between the closest first opening K1 and the third opening K3, when the size of the light-transmitting region BB is the same, the smaller the distance between the first opening K1 and the third opening K3, as Figure 1 shown, the size d4 of the border AN of the display panel 100 along the arrangement direction of the light-transmitting region BB and the display region AA, for example along Figure 1 the first direction X shown in the figure, can correspondingly be smaller, which is beneficial to realizing the narrow-border design of the display panel 100.

[0195] In some embodiments, as Figure 11As shown, the thickness of the black matrix layer BM in the area corresponding to the sensor area CC is 0.

[0196] Based on this, in some examples, in the orthographic projection onto the first substrate 1, the sensor area CC is outside the boundary line of the black matrix layer BM. In other examples, as Figure 11 shown, in the orthographic projection onto the first substrate 1, the boundary line of the black matrix layer BM encloses the sensor area CC, and the black matrix layer BM has a fourth opening K4 corresponding to the sensor area CC.

[0197] By not providing the black matrix layer BM in the area corresponding to the sensor area CC, in this way, the black matrix layer BM can be prevented from blocking light, and further, the light transmission amount of the sensor area CC can be ensured to ensure the normal operation of the sensor.

[0198] In some embodiments, the display panel 100 has no conductive material in the sensor area CC.

[0199] Not providing conductive material in the sensor area CC can reduce the loss of light when it enters the sensor area CC and increase the light transmission amount in the sensor area CC.

[0200] Based on this, in other embodiments, the display panel 100 has no interlayer insulating layer in the sensor area CC. The interlayer insulating layer is, for example, a spacer insulating film layer between adjacent conductive film layers. In the case where there is no conductive material in the sensor area CC, correspondingly, the interlayer insulating layer can also not be provided in the sensor area CC. In this way, the loss of light when it enters the sensor area CC can be reduced, and the light transmission amount in the sensor area CC can be increased.

[0201] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first alignment layer Q1 and / or the second alignment layer Q2 in the area defined by the sensor area CC is 0.

[0202] The first alignment layer Q1 and / or the second alignment layer Q2 are made of a light-transmissive material. When the first alignment layer Q1 and / or the second alignment layer Q2 in the area defined by the sensor area CC are not removed, the light transmission amount of the sensor area CC can meet the design requirements. When at least one of the first alignment layer Q1 and the second alignment layer Q2 in the area defined by the sensor area CC is removed, the light transmission amount of the sensor area CC is better than the case where they are not removed.

[0203] In some embodiments, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, the first pixel electrode 21 is disposed on the first substrate 1, and the display panel 100 further includes: a first polarizer POL1 disposed on the side of the first substrate 1 away from the second substrate 6, and a second polarizer POL2 disposed on the side of the second substrate 6 away from the first substrate 1.

[0204] In the orthographic projection onto the first substrate 1, the light-transmitting region BB overlaps both the first polarizer POL1 and the second polarizer POL2, and at least a part of the sealing frame portion 5 is located outside the boundary of the first polarizer POL1.

[0205] Exemplarily, the sealing frame portion 5 is made of a sealant, for example. When forming the sealing frame portion 5, the sealant is filled within the preset position, and then, methods such as light irradiation are used to cure the sealant to form the sealing frame portion 5.

[0206] The polarizer will block part of the light and convert the light into linearly polarized light. Therefore, there will be a certain loss of light when passing through the polarizer. By locating at least a part of the sealing frame portion 5 outside the boundary of the first polarizer POL1, in this way, when curing the sealant, the light can directly irradiate on the sealant, which is beneficial to quickly curing the sealant and improving the preparation efficiency of the display panel 100.

[0207] As Figure 10 shown, within the region corresponding to the sealing frame portion 5, a black matrix layer BM is further provided between the second substrate 6 and the liquid crystal layer 4. In some other embodiments, during the preparation process of the display panel 100, the light irradiates from the side of the second substrate 6 towards the sealant for light curing. To avoid the black matrix layer BM blocking the light, at least a part of the sealing frame portion 5 is located outside the boundary of the black matrix layer BM, so as to ensure that the light can irradiate towards the sealant.

[0208] Based on this, at least a part of the sealing frame portion 5 is also located outside the boundary of the second polarizer POL2. In this way, when curing the sealant, the light can directly irradiate on the sealant, which is beneficial to quickly curing the sealant and improving the preparation efficiency of the display panel 100.

[0209] Figure 12 For the display panel, according to Figure 1 is an enlarged structural diagram of region V1. To clearly describe the positional relationship between the polarizer POL, the support structure 10, the light-transmitting region BB, and the sensor region CC, only the polarizer POL, the support structure 10, the light-transmitting region BB, and the sensor region CC are shown in the figure, while the remaining structures in the display panel are not shown.

[0210] In some embodiments, as Figure 12 shown, the sensor region CC is located outside the boundary of the first polarizer POL1, and the second polarizer POL2 has a fifth opening K5 corresponding to the sensor region CC.

[0211] With such a design, no polarizer POL is provided within the region corresponding to the sensor region CC, thus ensuring the light transmission amount of the sensor region CC.

[0212] In some embodiments, as Figure 12As shown, in the orthographic projection onto the first substrate 1 , the fifth opening K5 surrounds the sensor region CC.

[0213] Such a design can ensure that light can pass through the fifth opening K5 and enter the sensor region CC without being blocked by the second polarizer POL2 , thereby ensuring the light transmittance of the sensor region CC.

[0214] In some embodiments, Figure 12 As shown, in the orthographic projection onto the first substrate 1, the display area AA and the light-transmitting area BB fall within the range of the first polarizer POL1, and the minimum distance between the boundary of the first polarizer POL1 and the boundary of the display area AA and the light-transmitting area BB is d1, 0<d1≤3mm.

[0215] Any border of the first polarizer POL1 is located outside the border of the display area AA and the light transmission area BB, and the distance between the border of the first polarizer POL1 and the border of the display area AA and the light transmission area BB can be 0.2mm, 1mm, 1.7mm or 3mm.

[0216] There may be some areas at the edge of the polarizer POL that cannot play an effective polarization role (invalid area of ​​the polarizer POL), and there may be some deviation between the actual coverage area of ​​the polarizer POL and the target coverage area during the assembly process of the display panel 100. Therefore, the actual size of the polarizer POL should be larger than the size of the area that the polarizer POL needs to cover, so as to ensure that the effective area of ​​the polarizer POL can completely cover the display area AA and the light-transmitting area BB.

[0217] In some embodiments, Figure 12 As shown, the display panel 100 further includes: a support structure 10. In the orthographic projection onto the first substrate 1, the support structure 10 is located outside the boundary of the first polarizer POL1 and extends along the boundary of the first polarizer POL1; the support structure 10 avoids the sensor area CC.

[0218] Exemplarily, the support structure 10 and the first polarizer POL1 are arranged side by side along a plane parallel to the first substrate 1 , and the distances between the support structure 10 and the first polarizer POL1 and the first substrate 1 are the same or substantially the same.

[0219] The support structure 10 is, for example, disposed around a boundary line of the first polarizer POL1 .

[0220] By providing the support structure 10 to surround the first polarizer POL1, on the one hand, the edge portion of the first polarizer POL1 can be prevented from being damaged by bumps; on the other hand, by providing the support structure 10, the thickness of the portion outside the boundary line of the first polarizer POL1 is increased, and the thickness uniformity of the display panel 100 can be ensured.

[0221] Exemplarily, the support structure 10 may adopt a foam tape. The foam tape is designed to avoid interference at the sensor area CC and the light-transmitting area BB, so as to ensure that the support structure 10 does not block the sensor area CC and the light-transmitting area BB, and to ensure the light transmission amount of the sensor area CC and the light-emitting effect of the light-transmitting area BB.

[0222] In some embodiments, as Figure 12 shown, the minimum distance between the support structure 10 and the first polarizer POL1 is d2, and d2≥6 μm. The distance d2 between the support structure 10 and the first polarizer POL1 may be 6 μm, 6.3 μm, 8.5 μm, etc.

[0223] During the preparation process of the display panel 100, the assembly sequence of the support structure 10 and the first polarizer POL1 is not limited. By controlling the minimum distance between the support structure 10 and the first polarizer POL1, it is possible to effectively avoid the situation where the support structure 10 and the first polarizer POL1 affect each other and cause the other to deviate from the set position during the preparation process of the display panel 100, and ensure that the support structure 10 and the first polarizer POL1 can be set in the target area more accurately.

[0224] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first pixel electrode 21 and the first common electrode 22 may both be disposed on the same side of the liquid crystal layer 4, or may be respectively disposed on both sides of the liquid crystal layer 4.

[0225] When the first pixel electrode 21 and the first common electrode 22 are both disposed on the same side of the liquid crystal layer 4, the first pixel electrode 21 and the first common electrode 22 may both be disposed between the liquid crystal layer 4 and the first substrate 1. Based on this, the first pixel electrode 21 and the first common electrode 22 may be disposed on the same layer, or the two may be disposed on different layers.

[0226] For example, for example Figure 10 shown, the first common electrode 22 is disposed on the side of the first pixel electrode 21 away from the first substrate 1. In this case, the display panel 100 further includes a first spacer layer 31 (for example, an insulating layer) disposed between the first pixel electrode 21 and the first common electrode 22. Of course, the first common electrode 22 may also be disposed on the side of the first pixel electrode 21 close to the first substrate 1.

[0227] See Figure 10 , the following takes the case where the first pixel electrode 21 and the first common electrode 22 are both disposed between the liquid crystal layer 4 and the first substrate 1 as an example to illustrate some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0228] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second pixel electrode 31 and the second common electrode 32 may be both disposed on the same side of the liquid crystal layer 4, or may be respectively disposed on both sides of the liquid crystal layer 4.

[0229] In the case where the display panel 100 includes a plurality of second pixel circuits 3, for example, the second common electrodes 32 of the plurality of second pixel circuits 3 may be an integral structure, and the portion of the second common electrode layer corresponding to the region defined by each second pixel circuit 3 is one second common electrode 32.

[0230] For another example, the plurality of second common electrodes 32 are spaced apart from each other. In this way, compared with the plurality of second pixel circuits 3 sharing one second common electrode 32, the area of the second common electrode 32 separately provided for each second pixel circuit 3 is smaller, and the resistance is also smaller. Correspondingly, the power consumption of the second pixel circuit 3 is smaller. In this case, the plurality of second common electrodes 32 may also be connected to each other through connection leads, and the connection leads may be disposed on the same layer as the plurality of second common electrodes 32, or may be disposed on the side of the film layer where the plurality of second common electrodes 32 are located close to / away from the first substrate 1.

[0231] The above is only an exemplary illustration of some possible embodiments of the present disclosure, and does not limit the present disclosure.

[0232] In the case where the second pixel electrode 31 and the second common electrode 32 are both disposed on the same side of the liquid crystal layer 4, the second pixel electrode 31 and the second common electrode 32 may be both disposed between the liquid crystal layer 4 and the first substrate 1. Based on this, the second pixel electrode 31 and the second common electrode 32 may be disposed on the same layer, or the two may be disposed on different layers.

[0233] For example, as Figure 10 shown, the second common electrode 32 is disposed on the side of the second pixel electrode 31 away from the first substrate 1. In this case, the display panel 100 further includes a second spacer layer 32 (for example, an insulating layer) disposed between the second pixel electrode 31 and the second common electrode 32. Of course, the second common electrode 32 is disposed on the side of the second pixel electrode 31 close to the first substrate 1.

[0234] See Figure 10 , and some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below by taking the second pixel electrode 31 and the second common electrode 32 both disposed between the liquid crystal layer 4 and the first substrate 1 as an example.

[0235] In some embodiments, as Figure 10 , the first pixel electrode 21 is disposed on the same layer as the second pixel electrode 31.

[0236] In some examples, the first pixel electrode 21 and the second pixel electrode 31 are made of the same material. For example, both are made of a transparent conductive material, where the transparent conductive material can be ITO or IZO, etc.

[0237] When the first pixel electrode 21 and the second pixel electrode 31 are made of the same material, the first pixel electrode 21 and the second pixel electrode 31 can be formed simultaneously through a single preparation process, thereby reducing the preparation steps of the display panel 100.

[0238] In other examples, the first pixel electrode 21 and the second pixel electrode 31 are made of different materials. When the first pixel electrode 21 and the second pixel electrode 31 are made of different materials, the first pixel electrode 21 and the second pixel electrode 31 can be formed separately and are both disposed on the same insulating material layer.

[0239] In some embodiments, as Figure 10 shown, the first common electrode 22 and the second common electrode 32 are arranged on the same layer.

[0240] The first common electrode 22 and the second common electrode can be formed of the same material. For example, both are made of a transparent conductive material, where the transparent conductive material can be ITO (indium tin oxide) or IZO (indium zinc oxide), etc.

[0241] When the first common electrode 22 and the second common electrode 32 are made of the same material, the first common electrode 22 and the second common electrode 32 can be formed simultaneously through a single preparation process, thereby reducing the preparation steps of the display panel 100. Moreover, the first common electrode 22 and the second common electrode 32 can be a whole film layer structure or can be independently separated and arranged.

[0242] In some embodiments, as Figure 10 shown, the first spacer layer 23 and the second spacer layer 33 are arranged on the same layer.

[0243] The first spacer layer 23 and the second spacer layer 33 arranged on the same layer can be formed simultaneously through a single preparation process, thereby reducing the preparation steps of the display panel 100.

[0244] Exemplarily, the first spacer layer 23 and the second spacer layer 33 are made of an insulating material.

[0245] The materials of the first spacer layer 23 and the second spacer layer 33 include but are not limited to at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or aluminum oxide, etc.

[0246] In some embodiments, as Figure 10As shown, the display panel 100 further includes: a first alignment layer Q1 disposed on one side of the liquid crystal layer 4 close to the first substrate 1, and a second alignment layer Q2 disposed on one side of the liquid crystal layer 4 close to the second substrate 6.

[0247] By providing the first alignment layer Q1 and the second alignment layer Q2, the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 4 are initially aligned, that is, the arrangement direction of the liquid crystal molecules when no electric field is applied is determined. Based on this, the first alignment layer Q1 and the second alignment layer Q2 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the liquid crystal layer 4 and are in contact with the liquid crystal layer 4.

[0248] Figure 13 and Figure 14 are enlarged structural diagrams of the first common electrode and the second common electrode. To facilitate a clear description of the structures of the first common electrode and the second common electrode, only part of the first common electrode and the second common electrode are shown in the figure, and the number of the first common electrode and the second common electrode in the display panel is not limited to that shown in the figure.

[0249] In some embodiments, as Figure 13 shown, the first common electrode 22 has a first slit 221, and the second common electrode 32 has a second slit 321.

[0250] By providing the first slit 221, the surface resistance of the first common electrode 22 can be reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the display panel 100. By providing the second slit 321, the surface resistance of the second common electrode 32 can be reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the display panel 100.

[0251] A plurality of first slits 221 can form at least one slit group XF1', and each slit group XF1' can be correspondingly provided with a first sub-pixel region P1. A plurality of second slits 321 can form at least one slit group XF1, and each slit group XF1 can be correspondingly provided with a second sub-pixel region P2.

[0252] The number, shape, etc. of the first slit 221 and the second slit 321 are not limited and can be arbitrarily set according to needs.

[0253] Hereinafter, the shapes of the first slit 221 and the second slit 321 being "<" or ">" are taken as examples for illustration.

[0254] In some embodiments, both the first alignment layer Q1 and the second alignment layer Q2 are rubbing alignment layers. As Figure 13 shown, the shapes of the first slit 221 and the second slit 321 are the same.

[0255] In some other embodiments, both the first alignment layer Q1 and the second alignment layer Q2 are photo-alignment layers. As Figure 13 or Figure 14As shown, the shapes of the first slit 221 and the second slit 321 are the same or different.

[0256] The statement that the shapes of the first slit 221 and the second slit 321 are the same or different means that the bending directions of the first slit 221 and the second slit 321 are the same or different. The preparation methods of the first alignment layer Q1 and the second alignment layer Q2 will be described below.

[0257] In some embodiments, as Figure 15 shown, a preparation method of an array substrate, the preparation method includes the following steps.

[0258] S1. Form a first alignment layer Q1 on a first substrate 1; the first substrate 1 has a display area AA and a light-transmitting area BB located on at least one side of the display area AA.

[0259] S2. Form a first common electrode 22 and a second common electrode 32 on the first alignment layer Q1; the first common electrode 22 is located in the display area AA, and the second common electrode 32 is located in the light-transmitting area BB; the first common electrode 22 has a plurality of first slits 221, and the second common electrode 32 has a plurality of second slits 321.

[0260] Among them, the first alignment layer Q1 and the second alignment layer Q2 are formed by a rubbing alignment process, and the shapes of the first slit 221 and the second slit 321 are the same; or, the first alignment layer Q1 and the second alignment layer Q2 are formed by a photo-alignment process, and the shapes of the first slit 221 and the second slit 321 are the same or different.

[0261] In the case where the first alignment layer Q1 and the second alignment layer Q2 are formed by a rubbing alignment process, the alignment directions of the alignment grooves formed by the first alignment layer Q1 in the areas corresponding to the display area AA and the light-transmitting area BB are the same. Correspondingly, the directions of the first slits 221 on the first common electrode 22 and the second slits 321 on the second common electrode 32 need to be kept consistent to ensure the display effect of the display panel 100.

[0262] In the case where the first alignment layer Q1 and the second alignment layer Q2 are formed by a photo-alignment process, the alignment directions of the alignment grooves formed by the first alignment layer Q1 in the areas corresponding to the display area AA and the light-transmitting area BB can be the same or different. Correspondingly, the first slits 221 on the first common electrode 22 and the second slits 321 on the second common electrode 32 can be the same or different.

[0263] Figure 16 and Figure 17 is a planar structure diagram of the display panel 100. To facilitate a clear description of the positional relationship between the circuit structure 7 and the light-transmitting area BB, Figure 16 only the sealing frame portion 5, the circuit structure 7, and part of the first common electrode 22, etc. are shown inFigure 17 Only the frame portion 5, the circuit structure 7, the first common electrode line COM1, the common electrode sub-line Vcom, and a part of the first common electrode 22 are shown. It can be understood that the display panel 100 also includes the remaining structures other than Figure 16 and Figure 17 the structures shown in

[0264] In some embodiments, as Figure 16 shown, the display panel 100 further includes: a circuit structure 7 located outside the display area AA, and the circuit structure 7 and the light-transmitting area BB are arranged side by side along at least one side boundary extension direction of the display area AA.

[0265] As Figure 7 and Figure 16 shown, when the display panel 100 includes one or more (two or more) light-transmitting areas BB on one side of the display area AA, the circuit structure 7 can be arranged side by side with the light-transmitting area BB along one side boundary extension direction of the display area AA.

[0266] As Figure 4 shown, when the display panel 100 includes at least one light-transmitting area BB on both sides of the display area AA, the circuit structure 7 can also be arranged side by side along the multi-side (two sides or more) boundary extension direction of the display area AA.

[0267] Among them, the circuit structure 7 only needs to include a conductive pattern. In the display panel 100, the circuit structure 7 can be powered on and cannot be unpowered. The circuit structure 7 includes, for example, at least one of a common electrode line COM, a ground line GND, and a third pixel circuit 8.

[0268] As Figure 16 and Figure 17 shown, in this embodiment, the design of arranging the circuit structure 7 and the light-transmitting area BB side by side along the boundary extension direction of the display area AA is adopted. Compared with the design in which the light-transmitting area BB is located on the side of the circuit structure 7 away from the display area AA, or the light-transmitting area BB is located between the circuit structure 7 and the light-transmitting area BB, since in this embodiment, the light-transmitting area BB occupies a part of the original position of the circuit structure 7, there is no need to additionally provide an arrangement space for the light-transmitting area BB in the width direction of the frame AN of the display panel 100. Therefore, the size d4 in the width direction of the frame AN of the display panel 100 can be correspondingly smaller, which is beneficial to realizing the narrow-frame design of the display panel 100.

[0269] As Figure 17 shown, there may be a gap d5 between the circuit structure 7 and the light-transmitting area BB, and the gap d5 is less than or equal to the external dimension of the light-transmitting area BB, such as the dimension of the light-transmitting area BB along the second direction Y.

[0270] Exemplarily, d5 ≥ 6 μm. The interval d5 between the circuit structure 7 and the light-transmitting area BB may be 6 μm, 6.3 μm, 8.5 μm, etc.

[0271] Specifically, the circuit structure 7 includes a conductive pattern disposed in the same layer as the second common electrode 32 , and there is a gap d5 between the conductive pattern and the second common electrode 32 .

[0272] In some embodiments, Figure 18 As shown, the display panel 100 further includes a bonding area BA (Bonding Area) located at one side of the display area AA, and the circuit board 200 is electrically connected to the circuit board 200 in the binding area BA.

[0273] Exemplarily, at least one second pixel circuit 3 is disposed in the light-transmitting area BB. Figure 19 and Figure 22 As shown, a plurality of second pixel circuits 3 are disposed in the light transmission area BB, and the plurality of second pixel circuits 3 are arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns.

[0274] Each row of second pixel circuits 3 is coupled to, for example, a second gate line GL2. Figure 19 and Figure 22 As shown, the second gate line GL2 is, for example, led out from the gap between the second common electrode 32 and the circuit structure 7 , and is led out from a side of the second common electrode 22 and the circuit structure 7 close to the display area AA to the binding area BA.

[0275] In this case, if Figure 19 As shown, a plurality of rows of second pixel circuits 3 are respectively coupled to a plurality of second gate lines GL2. Figure 22 As shown in FIG. 1 , multiple rows of second pixel circuits 3 may also be coupled to the same second gate line GL2. Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, one light emission period Tf of the light transmission area BB refers to the duration during which all second gate lines GL2 provide a working level to the second pixel circuits 3 coupled thereto.

[0276] For example, Figure 19 As shown, each row of second pixel circuits 3 is coupled to a second gate line GL2, and multiple rows of second pixel circuits 3 are respectively coupled to multiple second gate lines GL2, and multiple second gate lines GL2 can provide working levels to multiple rows of second pixel circuits 3 at the same time, or sequentially provide working levels to each row of second pixel circuits 3. At this time, one light emission period Tf of the light-transmitting area BB refers to the duration of multiple second gate lines GL2 providing a working level to multiple rows of second pixel circuits 3.

[0277] For example, Figure 22As shown, multiple rows of second pixel circuits 3 are coupled to the same second gate line GL2. The duration for which the second gate line GL2 provides an operating level to the multiple rows of second pixel circuits 3 once is one emission period Tf.

[0278] Each column of second pixel circuits 3 is coupled to a second data line DL2, for example. The second data line DL2 is led out from the second common electrode 22 and the side of the circuit structure 7 close to the display area AA to the bonding area BA, for example.

[0279] In some embodiments, the circuit structure 7 includes a part of the first common electrode line COM1. Exemplarily, as Figure 18 shown, one end of the first common electrode line COM1 can be close to the light-transmitting area BB, and the other end extends along the boundary of the display area AA to the bonding area BA. In this way, a part of the first common electrode line COM1 is arranged side by side with the light-transmitting area BB, and the other part extends into the bonding area BA and is not arranged side by side with the light-transmitting area BB. The circuit structure 7 includes the part of the first common electrode line COM1 arranged side by side with the light-transmitting area BB.

[0280] As Figure 18 shown, the first common electrode line COM1 is electrically connected to the first common electrode 22.

[0281] The first common electrode line COM1 and the first common electrode can be formed in the same process step. With such a design, it is beneficial to simplify the preparation steps of the display panel 100.

[0282] Exemplarily, as Figure 18 shown, the display panel 100 further includes multiple common electrode sub-lines Vcom. At least part of the common electrode sub-lines Vcom is located in the display area AA and is electrically connected to the second common electrode 22 within the display area AA. At least one end of the common electrode sub-lines Vcom extends outside the display area AA and is electrically connected to the first common electrode line COM1.

[0283] Based on this, the first common electrode line COM1 and the first common electrode 22 can be electrically connected through the common electrode sub-lines Vcom.

[0284] The first common electrode line COM1 and the first common electrode 22 can be arranged on the same layer, or they can be arranged on different layers.

[0285] In the case where the first common electrode line COM1 and the first common electrode 22 are arranged on the same layer, the common electrode sub-lines Vcom can be arranged on the same layer as the first common electrode 22, or the two can be arranged on different layers.

[0286] When the common electrode sub - wire Vcom and the first common electrode 22 are disposed on different layers, the common electrode sub - wire Vcom may be disposed on one side of the first common electrode 22 close to / away from the first substrate 1.

[0287] In some embodiments, as Figure 20 and Figure 22 shown, the first common electrode line COM1 is electrically connected to the second common electrode 32.

[0288] In this embodiment, the second common electrode 32 occupies a part of the original position of the first common electrode line COM1. Therefore, there is no need to additionally provide a layout space for the second common electrode 32 in the width direction of the border AN of the display panel 100. Accordingly, the dimension d4 in the width direction of the border AN of the display panel 100 can be smaller, which is beneficial to realizing the narrow - border design of the display panel 100.

[0289] In some embodiments, as Figure 20 and Figure 22 shown, the first common electrode line COM1 and the second common electrode 32 are disposed on the same layer and there is a gap g between them. The display panel 100 further includes: a connection line 9, the connection line 9 is located on one side of the second common electrode 32 close to or away from the first substrate, and spans across the gap g; the first common electrode line COM1 is electrically connected to the second common electrode 32 through the connection line 9.

[0290] The electrical signals transmitted by the first common electrode line COM1 and the second common electrode 32 are the same, both being common voltage signals. Therefore, the first common electrode line COM1 and the second common electrode 32 can be an integral film - layer structure. In this embodiment, by setting the first common electrode line COM1 and the second common electrode 32 to be spaced apart from each other, in this way, the area of the second common electrode 32 is smaller than that when they are a single film - layer structure. Thus, the resistance of the second common electrode 32 is smaller, the power consumption of the second pixel circuit 3 is reduced, and thereby the power consumption of the display panel 100 is reduced.

[0291] Exemplarily, the connection line 9 can be made of conductive materials such as metal materials and alloy materials. For example, the material of the connection line 9 includes but is not limited to at least one of gold, silver, copper, aluminum, nickel, or nickel - gold, etc.

[0292] Exemplarily, the connection line 9 can be disposed on one side of the second common electrode 32 close to or away from the first substrate 1.

[0293] In some embodiments, the first common electrode 22, the second common electrode 32 and the common electrode line COM are disposed on the same layer. Therefore, in the process of manufacturing the display panel 100, the first common electrode 22, the second common electrode 32 and the common electrode line COM can be formed in the same process step, thereby reducing the manufacturing steps of the display panel 100.

[0294] The first common electrode 22, the second common electrode 32 and the common electrode line COM are designed to be spaced from each other. In this way, the first common electrode 22, the second common electrode 32 and the common electrode line COM are independently arranged. Compared with the design in which the first common electrode 22, the second common electrode 32 and the common electrode line COM are integrally connected in a whole layer, the surface resistance of the first common electrode 22, the second common electrode 32 and the common electrode line COM can be reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the display panel 100.

[0295] Moreover, the first common electrode 22, the second common electrode 32 and the common electrode line COM can be connected to the same electrical signal. Therefore, by setting the connection line 9, the independently separated first common electrode 22, the second common electrode 32 and the common electrode line COM can be connected to each other, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the first common electrode 22, the second common electrode 32 and the common electrode line COM.

[0296] In some embodiments, as Figure 19 shown, the first common electrode line COM1 has a plurality of first hollow portions 71. For example, the plurality of first hollow portions 71 can form at least one hollow group XF2, and the first hollow portions 71 in each hollow group XF2 are the same or similar in shape to a group of slits XF1 in a sub-pixel region (such as the second sub-pixel region P2) of the second common electrode 32.

[0297] During the preparation process of the display panel 100, when there are a plurality of second slits 321 on the second common electrode, it may be to form a whole-layer conductive film layer by the same film-forming process, and perform a first patterning process on the conductive film layer to form the second slits 321 in the light-transmitting region BB; then, perform a second patterning process on the conductive film layer to form the first common electrode line COM1 and the second common electrode 32 arranged at intervals. In this way, during the second patterning process, due to reasons such as process accuracy, one or more second pixel electrodes 32 in the finally formed light-transmitting region BB may not have the second slits 321, or the number of the second slits 321 is less than the designed number.

[0298] In this embodiment, by providing a plurality of first hollow portions 71 on the first common electrode line COM1, in this way, a plurality of second slits 321 and a plurality of first hollow portions 71 can be formed simultaneously in the first patterning process. Therefore, in the second patterning process, it can be ensured that the finally formed second common electrode 32 has a plurality of second slits 321.

[0299] In some embodiments, as Figure 23As shown, the connection line 9 extends to the area where the first common electrode line COM1 is located, and is electrically connected to the first common electrode line COM1 through a plurality of connection points in the area where the first common electrode line COM1 is located.

[0300] Exemplarily, in the direction perpendicular to the first substrate 1, when the connection line 9 and the first common electrode line COM1 are in different conductive film layers, an insulating film layer is further provided between the conductive film layer where the connection line 9 is located and the conductive film layer where the first common electrode line COM1 is located. The connection point can be a connection hole penetrating the insulating film layer, and the conductive film layer where the connection line 9 is located is connected to the conductive film layer where the first common electrode line COM1 is located through the connection hole penetrating the insulating film layer. At this time, each connection hole serves as a connection point, and each first common electrode line COM1 is electrically connected to the first common electrode line COM1 through a plurality of connection holes.

[0301] Of course, in some other embodiments, each first common electrode line COM1 can also be electrically connected to the first common electrode line COM1 through a connection hole. In this case, the connection line 9 extends to the area where the first common electrode line COM1 is located, and is electrically connected to the first common electrode line COM1 through a connection point in the area where the first common electrode line COM1 is located.

[0302] In some other embodiments, as Figure 23 shown, the display panel 100 includes a plurality of second common electrodes 32, and the plurality of second common electrodes 32 are connected into an integral structure. The connection line 9 extends to the light-transmitting area BB, and is electrically connected to the integral structure through a plurality of connection points in the light-transmitting area BB.

[0303] By electrically connecting the connection line 9 to the second common electrode 32, the resistance of the second common electrode 32 can be reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the second pixel circuit 3, and further reducing the power consumption of the display panel 100.

[0304] When the display panel 100 includes a plurality of (two or more) second common electrodes 32, the plurality of second common electrodes 32 can be an integrally formed integral structure, or can be formed into an integral structure by connecting leads to each other. The plurality of second common electrodes 32 are connected to each other. Therefore, the connection points between the connection line 9 and the integral structure can be that at least one (one or more) connection point is provided corresponding to each second common electrode 32, or a plurality of connection points are provided corresponding to one of the second common electrodes 32.

[0305] In still some other embodiments, as Figure 23As shown, one end of the connection line 9 extends to the area where the first common electrode line COM1 is located, and is electrically connected to the first common electrode line COM1 through a plurality of connection points in the area where the first common electrode line COM1 is located; the other end of the connection line 9 extends to the light-transmitting area BB, and is electrically connected to the integrated structure through a plurality of connection points in the light-transmitting area BB.

[0306] This embodiment can be a combination of the above two embodiments, having the same structure and technical effects, and will not be elaborated here.

[0307] In this embodiment, by setting the connection line 9 to extend to the light-transmitting area BB and be electrically connected to a plurality of second common electrodes 32, the effect of reducing the resistance of the second common electrodes 32 can be better achieved, which is beneficial to realizing the low-power consumption design of the display panel 100.

[0308] Moreover, in this embodiment, by setting the connection line 9 to extend to the area where the first common electrode line COM1 is located and be electrically connected to the first common electrode line COM1 through a plurality of connection points, in this way, compared with the case where the connection line 9 is not provided, or the connection line 9 is electrically connected to the first common electrode line COM1 through one connection point, the resistance value of the first common electrode line COM1 is lower, so that the power consumption of the first common electrode line COM1 is lower, which is beneficial to realizing the low-power consumption design of the display panel 100.

[0309] In some embodiments, as Figure 23 and Figure 24 shown, the display panel 100 further includes: a second common electrode line COM2, which is electrically connected to the first common electrode 22; the width of the first common electrode line COM1 is greater than the width of the second common electrode line COM2.

[0310] In the display panel 100 including multiple common electrode lines, the second common electrode 22 occupies a part of the position of the wider one of the originally multiple common electrode lines COM. Therefore, there is no need to additionally provide a layout space for the second common electrode 32 in the width direction of the border AN of the display panel 100. Therefore, the size d4 in the width direction of the border AN of the display panel 100 can correspondingly be smaller, which is beneficial to realizing the narrow-border design of the display panel 100.

[0311] For example, as Figure 23 and Figure 24 shown, the display panel 100 includes a first common electrode line COM1 and a second common electrode line COM2, and the width of the first common electrode line COM1 is greater than the width of the second common electrode line COM2. The wider one of the first common electrode line COM1 and the second common electrode line COM2 is arranged side by side with the light-transmitting area BB along the boundary extension direction of the display area AA, and the second common electrode 32 occupies a part of the original position of the first common electrode line COM1.

[0312] As Figure 23 and Figure 24 shown, the first common electrode line COM1 can be disposed on one side of the second common electrode line COM2 close to or away from the display area AA. Specifically, it can be selected according to design requirements, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0313] In some embodiments, as Figure 23 and Figure 24 shown, the display panel 100 further includes: at least one common electrode line COM, and at least one common electrode line COM is electrically connected to the first common electrode 22.

[0314] That at least one common electrode line COM is electrically connected to the first common electrode 22 means that in the case where the display panel 100 includes one common electrode line COM, the common electrode line COM is electrically connected to the first common electrode 22; or, in the case where the display panel 100 includes the first common electrode line COM1 and the second common electrode line COM2, at least one of the first common electrode line COM1 and the second common electrode line COM2 is electrically connected to the first common electrode 22.

[0315] In the case where the display panel 100 includes multiple common electrode lines COM, the relative positional relationship of the multiple common electrode lines COM in the direction perpendicular to the boundary of the display area AA is not limited. For example, the display panel 100 includes the first common electrode line COM1 and the second common electrode line COM2, as Figure 23 shown, the first common electrode line COM1 can be disposed on the side of the second common electrode line COM2 close to the display area AA; or, as Figure 24 shown, the first common electrode line COM1 can also be disposed on the side of the second common electrode line COM2 away from the display area AA.

[0316] In some embodiments, as Figure 15 shown, the display panel 100 further includes an electrostatic protection circuit ESD (ElectroStatic discharge) and a ground wire GND, and the ground wire GND is electrically connected to the electrostatic protection circuit ESD.

[0317] The electrostatic protection circuit ESD includes, for example, multiple protection transistors, and the drain electrodes of the protection transistors are electrically connected to the ground wire GND, so as to conduct the static electricity existing in the display panel 100 through the ground wire GND, forming an electrostatic discharge channel, thereby avoiding the influence of static electricity on the first pixel circuit 2 and the second pixel circuit 3.

[0318] Based on this, in some embodiments, as Figure 25As shown, the circuit structure 7 includes a part of the ground wire GND, which is electrically insulated from the first common electrode 22 and the second common electrode 32.

[0319] The second common electrode 32 occupies a part of the original position of the ground wire GND. Therefore, there is no need to additionally provide an arrangement space for the second common electrode 32 in the width direction of the border AN of the display panel 100. Accordingly, the dimension d4 in the width direction of the border AN of the display panel 100 can be smaller, which is beneficial to realizing the narrow border design of the display panel 100.

[0320] In some embodiments, the ground wire GND and the second common electrode 32 are provided on the same layer and have a gap therebetween; and / or, the second common electrode 32 is electrically connected to one of at least one common electrode line COM.

[0321] Exemplarily, the common electrode line COM is provided outside the display area AA, and in the positive projection onto the first substrate 1, the common electrode line COM does not overlap with the light-transmitting area BB. In this case, the common electrode line COM can be made of a metal material. When the second common electrode 32 is made of a transparent conductive material, such as ITO, the resistance of the second common electrode 32 is relatively large. By electrically connecting the second common electrode 32 to the common electrode line COM made of a metal material, the resistance of the second common electrode 32 can be reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the display panel 100.

[0322] The second common electrode 32 can occupy a part of the position of at least one of the original common electrode lines COM (such as the first common electrode line COM1 and the second common electrode line COM2) and the ground wire GND, and there is no need to additionally provide an arrangement space for the second common electrode 32 in the width direction of the border AN of the display panel 100, which is beneficial to realizing the narrow border design of the display panel 100.

[0323] It should be noted that in the direction along the extension direction of the boundary line perpendicular to the display area AA, the relative positional relationship among the first common electrode line COM1, the second common electrode line COM2, the ground wire GND, and the electrostatic protection circuit ESD can be adaptively designed as needed, such as Figure 23 、 Figure 24 、 Figure 25 and Figure 26 Only some possible relative positional relationships among the first common electrode line COM1, the second common electrode line COM2, the ground wire GND, and the electrostatic protection circuit ESD are shown, which do not limit the present disclosure.

[0324] To ensure the display quality of the display panel 100, the thicknesses of the film layer structures in the display area AA need to be consistent, that is, in the multi-layer film layer structure provided on the first substrate 1, the distances between each position on the same film layer structure and the first substrate 1 should be the same or approximately the same.

[0325] In the process of manufacturing the display panel 100, in the process of forming multiple first pixel circuits 2 in the display area AA, taking the formation of the first pixel electrodes 21 as an example, it may be to first form a conductive film layer by a film forming process, and then pattern the conductive film layer to form multiple first pixel electrodes 21.

[0326] When forming the conductive film layer, the thickness of the edge portion of the conductive film layer is thinner than that of the middle portion. In this way, the actual thickness of the first pixel electrodes 21 located on the periphery among the multiple first pixel electrodes 21 is thinner than the required thickness. In this way, it may cause problems such as abnormal light emission in the first sub-pixel region P1 corresponding to the first pixel electrodes 21 on the periphery.

[0327] Based on this, in the process of manufacturing the display panel 100, multiple third pixel circuits 8 can be formed simultaneously while manufacturing the first pixel circuits 2. The third pixel circuits 8 are located outside the display area AA, and the regions defined by the third pixel circuits 8 do not emit light.

[0328] The multiple third pixel circuits 8 can be arranged side by side along the extending direction of the boundary line of the display area AA. The third pixel circuit 8 includes a third pixel electrode 81 and a third common electrode 82. The third pixel electrode 81 is provided on the same layer as the first pixel electrode 21, and the third common electrode 82 and the first common electrode 22 are of an integral structure.

[0329] In this way, the third pixel circuits 8 are formed while the first pixel circuits 2 are formed. In the process of forming the first pixel electrodes 21 and the first common electrodes 22, the first pixel electrodes 21 and the first common electrodes 22 obtained by patterning the conductive film layer have good thickness uniformity. The edge portion of the conductive film layer corresponds to the third pixel circuits 8. Since the third pixel circuits 8 are located outside the display area AA of the display panel 100, they will not affect the display quality of the picture in the display area AA of the display panel 100.

[0330] Based on this, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 26 shown, the display panel 100 further includes third pixel circuits 8 located outside the display area AA. The third pixel circuits 8 may have the same structure as the first pixel circuits 2. For example, the third pixel circuit 8 includes a third pixel electrode 81 and a third common electrode 82.

[0331] Exemplarily, the third pixel circuits 8 are also located outside the light-transmitting area BB.

[0332] In some embodiments, the third pixel circuit 8 may be a dummy pixel circuit. Although it has the same structure as a normal display pixel circuit (such as the first pixel circuit 2), the circuit board 200 may not apply an electrical signal to the third pixel circuit 8. In this case, in the direction perpendicular to the first substrate 1, the third pixel circuit 8 is located within the range of the black matrix layer BM, and the light emitted from the region defined by the third pixel circuit 8 is blocked by the black matrix layer BM. By setting the third pixel circuit 8, the manufacturing steps of the display panel 100 are not additionally increased, and moreover, the thickness differences caused by the manufacturing process between the plurality of first pixel electrodes 21 and the first common electrode 22 in the display area AA can be avoided.

[0333] In some other embodiments, the circuit board 200 is further configured to apply an electrical signal to the third pixel circuit 8. The above light-transmitting region BB is referred to as a first light-transmitting region BB1, at least a part of the third pixel circuit 8 is located in a second light-transmitting region BB2, the second light-transmitting region BB2 is located outside the display area AA and has no overlap with the first light-transmitting region BB1. In this case, in the direction perpendicular to the first substrate 1, the black matrix layer BM is further provided with an opening region corresponding to the third pixel circuit 8 within the second light-transmitting region BB2, and the light emitted from the region defined by the third pixel circuit 8 is not blocked by the black matrix layer BM.

[0334] Based on this, in some embodiments, the first common electrode line COM1 and the first common electrode 21 are provided on the same layer. Based on this, the third common electrode 82 and the first common electrode line COM1 are provided on the same layer. The third common electrode 82 and the first common electrode line COM1 may be an integral structure, or there may be a gap between the two.

[0335] Exemplarily, as Figure 26 shown, the third common electrode 82 and the first common electrode line COM1 are an integral structure.

[0336] In some embodiments, as Figure 26 shown, the circuit structure 7 includes: a third pixel circuit 8. The third pixel circuit 8 is located outside the display area AA. Therefore, the second common electrode 22 occupying at least a part of the original third pixel circuit 8 does not affect the normal picture display of the display area AA of the display panel 100, and is conducive to implementing the narrow border design of the display panel 100.

[0337] Exemplarily, the third common electrode 82 and the second common electrode 32 are disposed in the same layer. In this way, the second common electrode 32 and the third common electrode 82 are formed simultaneously through a single film-forming process. The second common electrode 32 occupies a part of the original position of the third common electrode 82. Therefore, there is no need to additionally provide a layout space for the second common electrode 32 in the width direction of the border AN of the display panel 100. Accordingly, the dimension d4 in the width direction of the border AN of the display panel 100 can also be smaller, which is conducive to realizing the narrow border design of the display panel 100.

[0338] Exemplarily, as Figure 26 shown, the third common electrode 82, the second common electrode 32, and the first common electrode line COM1 are disposed in the same layer. In this way, the second common electrode 32 occupies a part of the original positions of the third common electrode 82 and the first common electrode line COM1. Therefore, there is no need to additionally provide a layout space for the second common electrode 32 in the width direction of the border AN of the display panel 100. Accordingly, the dimension d4 in the width direction of the border AN of the display panel 100 can also be smaller, which is conducive to realizing the narrow border design of the display panel 100.

[0339] The specific structures of the first pixel circuit 2 and the second pixel circuit 3 will be described below.

[0340] In some embodiments, as Figure 27 and Figure 28 shown, the display panel 100 further includes: a first gate line GL1, a first data line DL1, and a first transistor T1 located in the display area AA. The first gate line GL1 is electrically connected to the first transistor T1, and the first data line DL1 is coupled to the first pixel electrode 21 through the first transistor T1.

[0341] Exemplarily, as Figure 27 shown, the control electrode of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first gate line GL1, the first electrode of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first data line DL1, and the second electrode of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first pixel electrode 21.

[0342] The first transistor T1 is configured to transmit the first data signal provided by the first data line DL1 to the first pixel electrode 21 under the control of the voltage of the first gate line GL1.

[0343] The plurality of first sub-pixel areas P1 included in the display area AA are arranged in an array, for example. The first sub-pixel areas P1 with the same emission color can be arranged in a row or a column. Of course, the arrangement manner of the plurality of first sub-pixel areas P1 in the display area AA is not limited thereto. For the convenience of describing some embodiments of the present disclosure, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below by taking the example that the first sub-pixel areas P1 with the same emission color can be arranged in a column.

[0344] Accordingly, as Figure 28 shown, a plurality of first pixel circuits 2 in the display area AA are arranged in an array, for example.

[0345] As Figure 28 shown, each first gate line GL1 is coupled to one row of first pixel circuits 2. As Figure 27 and Figure 28 shown, each first gate line GL1 is electrically connected to the control electrodes of a plurality of first transistors T1 arranged in a row.

[0346] In some embodiments, as Figure 28 shown, the display panel 100 further includes a first gate lines GL1(m) and b first data lines DL1(n). Wherein, a, b, m, and n are positive integers, a≥m≥1, and b≥n≥1.

[0347] Exemplarily, as Figure 28 shown, the first pixel circuits 2 in the same column are coupled to the same first data line DL1(n), for example, and the first pixel circuits 2 in the same row are coupled to the same first gate line GL1(m), for example.

[0348] At this time, a plurality of first pixel circuits 2 arranged in an array (a rows × b columns, a≥2, b≥2) are provided in the display area AA, for example, and the display area AA includes a plurality of first sub-pixel areas P1. Each first gate line GL1(m) provides a gate driving signal to the first pixel circuit 2 coupled thereto, for example.

[0349] In some embodiments, as Figure 28 and Figure 29 shown, the display panel 100 further includes: a second data line DL2 located in the light-transmitting area BB. The second data line DL2 is coupled to the second pixel electrode 31.

[0350] In some examples, as Figure 29 shown, the second data line DL2 is electrically connected to the second pixel electrode 31.

[0351] As Figure 29 and Figure 30 shown, in this case, the second sub-pixel area P2 emits light in response to the second data signal from the second data line DL2. When the second data signal is at the operating level, the second sub-pixel area P2 lights up and the light-transmitting area BB lights up; when the second data signal is at the non-operating level, the second sub-pixel area P2 does not emit light.

[0352] As Figure 29 and Figure 30As shown, during the light-emitting stage of the light-transmitting region BB, the second data line DL2 transmits a second data signal to the second pixel electrode 31 to drive the light-transmitting region BB to emit light. The light-emitting stage of the light-transmitting region BB includes at least one light-emitting cycle Ts. During the non-light-emitting stage Toff of the light-transmitting region BB, the light-transmitting region BB does not emit light.

[0353] As Figure 30 shown, to avoid the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 4 from solidifying, during the light-emitting stage of the light-transmitting region BB, the second data signal provided by the second data line DL2 is an electrical signal that alternates between positive and negative (for example, the voltage value corresponding to the second data signal alternates between +5V and -5V); during the non-light-emitting stage of the light-transmitting region BB, the second data line DL2 also transmits an electrical signal that alternates between positive and negative to the second pixel electrode 31, but the light-transmitting region BB does not emit light.

[0354] It should be noted that when the second pixel electrode 31 is electrically connected to the second data line DL2, the light-emitting state of the light-transmitting region BB may or may not be related to the working state of the sensor 300 in the sensor region CC. Specific adaptive designs can be made according to needs.

[0355] When the light-emitting state of the light-transmitting region BB is related to the working state of the sensor 300 in the sensor region CC, the second data signal provided by the second data line DL2 can be a synchronous data signal of the working state of the sensor. For example, when the sensor is in the working state, the second data signal provided by the second data line DL2 is the working level, and the light-transmitting region BB is lit; when the sensor is in the non-working state, the second data signal is the non-working level, and the light-transmitting region BB does not emit light.

[0356] In this way, whether the sensor 300 is in the working state can be intuitively shown by whether the light-transmitting region BB emits light. Of course, it can also be that different working states of the sensor 300 are corresponding to different colors of light emitted by the light-transmitting region BB.

[0357] The above is only an exemplary illustration of some specific implementation manners of the present disclosure. The data signal input terminal connected to the second pixel electrode 31 can be selected according to needs. This is only an exemplary illustration of some possible implementation manners and does not limit the present disclosure.

[0358] In some other examples, as Figure 31 shown, the display panel 100 further includes: a second transistor T2. The second gate line GL2 is electrically connected to the second transistor T2, and the second data line DL2 is coupled to the second pixel electrode 31 through the second transistor T2.

[0359] Exemplarily, as Figure 31As shown, the control electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second gate line GL2, the first electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second data line DL2, and the second electrode of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second pixel electrode 31.

[0360] The second transistor T2 is configured to transmit the second data signal provided by the second data line DL2 to the second pixel electrode 31 under the control of the voltage of the second gate line GL2.

[0361] As Figure 31 and Figure 32 shown, when the voltage transmitted from the second gate line GL2 to the control electrode of the second transistor T2 is at the operating level, the second transistor T2 is turned on, and the second data signal provided by the second data line DL2 can be transmitted to the second pixel electrode 32 through the second transistor T2.

[0362] As Figure 31 , Figure 32 and Figure 33 shown, when the second gate line GL2 transmits an operating level to the control electrode of the second transistor T2 and the second data signal provided by the second data line DL2 is at the operating level, the light-transmitting area BB is lit.

[0363] In some embodiments, among the multiple first sub-pixel regions P1 and multiple second sub-pixel regions P2 included in the display panel 100, some of the first sub-pixel regions P1 and the second sub-pixel regions P2 are arranged in a column.

[0364] As Figure 31 and Figure 32 shown, when both the first pixel electrode 2 and the second pixel circuit 3 adopt an active driving method (the display panel 100 includes the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2), the first pixel electrode 21 and the second pixel electrode 31 arranged in a column can be coupled to the same data line DL, or can be coupled to different data lines DL. When at least one of the first pixel circuit 2 and the second pixel circuit 3 adopts a passive driving method, the first pixel electrode 21 and the second pixel electrode 31 need to be respectively coupled to different data lines DL.

[0365] In some embodiments, as Figure 31 shown, the display panel 100 includes the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2, and the second data line DL2 is electrically connected to the first data line DL1. The first pixel electrode 21 and the second pixel electrode 31 in the same column can be regarded as being coupled to the same data line DL. The part of the data line DL connected to the first transistor T1 is the first data line DL1, and the part connected to the second transistor T2 is the second data line DL2.

[0366] One frame of the display panel 100 includes a picture display phase and a blanking phase, and one light-emitting period Tf of the light-transmitting area BB is within one frame of the display panel 100. The first data line DL1 transmits a first data signal to the first pixel electrode 21 in the picture display phase, and transmits a second data signal to the second pixel electrode 31 in the light-emitting period Tf.

[0367] One frame of the display panel 100 refers to one frame of the display area AA, and one frame of the display area AA is, for example, one of the display frames mentioned above. In the display frame, the first pixel circuit 2 drives the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer 4 in the area defined by the first pixel circuit 2 to move. The area defined by the first pixel circuit 2 is, for example, the first sub-pixel area P1 mentioned above.

[0368] Each display frame at least includes: a data writing phase, a picture display phase and a blanking phase.

[0369] In the data writing phase, the first data line DL1 transmits a display data signal to the first pixel electrode 21 coupled thereto, so as to drive the first sub-pixel region P1 to emit light for display.

[0370] In the blanking phase, the first data line DL1 transmits the second data signal to the second pixel electrode 31 coupled thereto, so as to drive the second sub-pixel region P2 to emit light.

[0371] With this design, time-division multiplexing of the first data line DL1 is achieved, and the same data line DL transmits electrical signals to the first pixel electrode 21 and the second pixel electrode 31 respectively in time-division, thereby reducing the number of data lines DL in the display panel 100 and simplifying the structure of the display panel 100.

[0372] Exemplarily, the light-emitting phase of the light-transmitting area BB includes at least one light-emitting period Tf. When the first pixel electrode 21 and the second pixel electrode 31 are coupled to the same data line DL, in the light-emitting phase of the light-transmitting area BB, the light-emitting period Tf of the light-transmitting area BB is shorter than the duration of the blanking phase of the display area AA.

[0373] The first data line DL1 transmits the second data signal to the second pixel electrode 31 in the blanking phase of the display area AA, and the light-emitting phase of the light-transmitting area BB includes at least one light-emitting period Tf. Therefore, the blanking phase of the display area AA is longer than the light-emitting period Tf.

[0374] Exemplarily, the first data line DL1 may transmit the second data signal to the second pixel electrode 31 during the blanking phase of each frame of the display area AA, or may transmit the second data signal to the second pixel electrode 31 during the blanking phase every k frames (k≥2).

[0375] like Figure 31 , Figure 32 andFigure 33 As shown, within the emission period Tf, the duration during which the voltage of the second gate line GL2 is at an effective level is less than the duration of the emission period Tf. Based on this, the first data line DL1 can continuously transmit the second data signal to the second pixel electrode 31 in the blanking stage in the display area AA, and the voltage of the second gate line GL2 can continuously be at an effective level or periodically be at an effective level within the blanking stage.

[0376] When multiple rows of second pixel circuits 3 included in the display panel 100 are all coupled to the same second gate line GL2, the duration for the second gate line GL2 to provide a working level to the multiple rows of second pixel circuits 3 once is one emission period Tf.

[0377] When each second gate line GL2 is coupled to one row of second pixel circuits 3, multiple rows of second pixel circuits 3 are respectively coupled to multiple second gate lines GL2. The multiple second gate lines GL2 can simultaneously provide a working level to the multiple rows of second pixel circuits 3, or the multiple second gate lines GL2 can sequentially provide a working level to the multiple rows of second pixel circuits 3. At this time, one emission period Tf of the light-transmitting area BB refers to the total duration for all the second gate lines GL2 to provide a working level to the multiple rows of second pixel circuits 3 once.

[0378] In some other embodiments, as Figure 32 shown, the display panel 100 includes a first transistor T1 and a second transistor T2. The second data line DL2 is insulated from the first data line DL1, and the first pixel electrode 21 and the second pixel electrode 31 in the same column are insulated from each other.

[0379] In some embodiments, as Figure 28 、 Figure 31 and Figure 32 shown, when the display panel 100 includes a first transistor T1, the display panel 100 further includes: a first gate driving circuit 12.

[0380] In some examples, as Figure 28 and Figure 34 shown, the first gate driving circuit 12 includes a first shift register unit SR1(j). The first shift register unit SR1(j) is disposed outside the display area AA. A single first shift register unit SR1(j) is, for example, coupled to one row of first pixel circuits 2. A single shift register SR1(j) is, for example, coupled to at least one first gate line GL1(m).

[0381] The first shift register unit SR1(j) can be within the liquid crystal sealing area SA.

[0382] In some other examples, as Figure 28 and Figure 34As shown, the gate driving circuit 12 includes k cascaded first shift registers SR1(j), and a single shift register SR1(j) is coupled to at least one first gate line GL1(m). Here, k and j are positive integers, k≥j≥1, and m≥k≥2.

[0383] Taking an example where each of the k cascaded shift registers SR1(j) corresponds to and is coupled to a first gate line GL1(m), and each first gate line GL1(m) is coupled to a row of first pixel circuits 2 for illustration.

[0384] In some embodiments, as Figure 34 shown, the first shift register SR1(j) includes a signal input terminal IPT, a first signal output terminal GOUT1, a second signal output terminal OUTC, and a reset signal terminal RST. The first signal output terminal GOUT1 of each stage of the shift register SR1(j) is coupled to the gate line G(m). The second signal output terminal OUTC of the j-th stage of the shift register SR1(j) is coupled to the signal input terminal IPT of the (j + 1)-th stage of the shift register SR1(j + 1), and the second signal output terminal OUTC of the j-th stage of the shift register SR1(j) is coupled to the reset signal terminal RST of the (j - 1)-th stage of the shift register SR1(j - 1).

[0385] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 shown, except for the first stage of the first shift register SR1(1), the signal input terminal IPT of each stage of the first shift register SR1(j) is coupled to the second signal output terminal OUTC of its previous stage of the shift register SR1(j - 1).

[0386] Except for the last stage of the first shift register SR1(k), the reset signal terminal RST of each stage of the first shift register SR1(j) is coupled to the second signal output terminal OUTC of its next stage of the shift register SR1(j + 1).

[0387] It should be noted that the above-mentioned first stage of the first shift register SR1(1) and the last stage of the first shift register SR1(k) are relative and are determined according to the forward scan and reverse scan of the gate driving circuit 12.

[0388] When the gate driving circuit 12 is used to perform a forward scan on the first gate line GL1(m), according to the scan order of the first gate line GL1(m), the first first gate line GL1(1) is first input with a scan signal. Therefore, the first shift register SR1(j) that provides the scan signal to the first first gate line GL1(1) is the first stage of the first shift register SR1(1); the first shift register SR1(j) that provides the scan signal to the last first gate line GL1(a) is the last stage of the first shift register SR1(k).

[0389] The signal output from the second signal output terminal OUTC serves as the cascading signal for the gate driving circuit 12. The second signal output terminal OUTC of the j-th first shift register SR1(j) is coupled to the signal input terminal IPT of the (j + 1)-th first shift register SR1(j + 1), thereby triggering the (j + 1)-th first shift register SR1(j + 1). The second signal output terminal OUTC of the j-th first shift register SR1(j) is coupled to the reset signal terminal RST of the (j - 1)-th first shift register SR1(j - 1), causing the (j - 1)-th first shift register SR1(j - 1) to be reset.

[0390] When the gate driving circuit 12 is used to perform reverse scanning on the first gate line GL1(m), according to the scanning order of the first gate line GL1(m), the last first gate line GL1(a) is first input with the scanning signal. Therefore, the first shift register SR1(j) that provides the scanning signal to the first gate line GL1(a) is the first first shift register SR1(1); the shift register that provides the scanning signal to the first first gate line GL1(1) is the last first shift register SR1(k).

[0391] On the basis of the above, as Figure 34 shown, the signal input terminal IPT of the first first shift register SR1(1) is coupled to the start signal terminal STV, for example, and the reset signal terminal RST of the last first shift register SR1(k) is coupled to the start signal terminal STV, for example.

[0392] Among them, the start signal terminal STV is used to output the start signal. The first first shift register SR1(1) of the gate driving circuit 12 starts to perform line-by-line scanning on the first gate line GL1(m) after receiving the above start signal.

[0393] In this case, when the start signal of the start signal terminal STV is input to the signal input terminal IPT of the first first shift register SR1(1), the reset signal terminal RST of the last first shift register SR1(k) can use the start signal of the start signal terminal STV as the reset signal to reset the last first shift register SR1(k).

[0394] Here, the reset signal terminal RST of the last first shift register SR1(k) can also be separately set as an initialization signal terminal, and this initialization signal terminal can transmit the reset signal to the reset signal terminal RST of the last first shift register SR1(k).

[0395] In some embodiments, the gate driving circuit 12 further includes, for example, peripheral signal traces, and the peripheral signal traces provide working signals for the first shift register SR1(j).

[0396] The first shift register SR1(j) is mainly composed of devices such as transistors and capacitors. During the operation of the first shift register SR1(j), the voltages of each node of the shift register (such as the first node PU1, the first pull-down point PD1, and the second pull-down node PD2) and the signal output terminals (such as the first signal output terminal GOUT1 and the second signal output terminal OUTC) are controlled by transistors, capacitors, etc., so as to realize the output of signals.

[0397] For example, a single first shift register SR1(j) transmits a signal to the first gate line GL1(m) coupled thereto, and each first gate line GL1(m) transmits the foregoing electrical signal to a row of first pixel circuits 2 coupled thereto.

[0398] The signal output by a single first shift register SR1(j) is transmitted to a row of first pixel circuits 2 through a first gate line GL1(m), so as to control the brightness of the first sub-pixel region P1 of that row and realize color display.

[0399] Exemplarily, the transistors included in the first shift register SR1(j) include but are not limited to thin film transistors, field effect transistors, or other devices with the same characteristics.

[0400] The source electrode (source) of the transistor is called the first pole, and the drain electrode (drain) is called the second pole. Alternatively, the drain can be called the first pole and the source can be called the second pole. According to the form in the drawings, the middle end of the transistor is defined as the gate (which can also be called the gate electrode), the signal input terminal is the source, and the signal output terminal is the drain.

[0401] Exemplarily, the thin film transistors in the first shift register SR1(j) are all oxide transistors. For example, the material of the active layer of the thin film transistor is oxide.

[0402] The transistors adopted in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be P-type switching transistors or N-type switching transistors. The P-type switching transistor is turned on when the gate is at a low level and turned off when the gate is at a high level; the N-type switching transistor is turned on when the gate is at a high level and turned off when the gate is at a low level.

[0403] It should be noted that in the first shift register SR1(j) in the embodiments of the present disclosure, in actual use, the types of the transistors are not limited. Each transistor can be set as an N-type switching transistor or a P-type switching transistor according to needs. When the transistors in the shift register are N-type transistors, the effective level of each transistor is a high-level signal.

[0404] Correspondingly set the effective levels (which can also be referred to as operating levels, or operating voltages, etc.) of the signal input terminal IPT, the first voltage signal terminal VDD1, the second voltage signal terminal VDD2, the third voltage signal terminal VGL, the fourth voltage signal terminal LVGL, the start signal terminal STV, and the reset signal terminal RST to high-level signals.

[0405] It should be noted that Figure 34 shows an exemplary structure of the first shift register SR1(j) and each sub-circuit included therein. Those skilled in the art can understand that the first shift register SR1(j) and each sub-circuit included therein are not limited to Figure 34 the structure shown, as long as its function can be achieved.

[0406] In addition, for multiple signals and voltages of nodes in various embodiments of the present disclosure, there correspond operating levels and non-operating levels (which can also be referred to as the first voltage and the second voltage, or the first target voltage and the second target voltage, etc.). The operating level and the non-operating level only represent two different voltage state quantities of the signal, and do not represent that the operating level or the non-operating level has a specific value throughout the text. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the operating level (or high level, first voltage, first target voltage, etc.) is taken as an example of the effective voltage for illustration.

[0407] The first signal output terminal GOUT1 of each first shift register SR1(j) is coupled to, for example, the first gate line GL1(m) corresponding to a row of first pixel circuits 2, to provide a gate driving signal to the first gate line GL1(m), thereby driving the display panel 100 to display.

[0408] Exemplarily, in the display stage of the display panel 100, when displaying each frame of the picture, the gate scanning signal is output to the first gate line GL1(m) corresponding to the first shift register SR1(j) through the first shift register SR1(j) step by step, to complete the progressive scanning of multiple rows of first pixel circuits 2. While each row of first pixel circuits 2 is being scanned, each data line DL(n) writes data voltage signals into each first pixel circuit 2 in that row, to light up each first sub-pixel region P1 in that row.

[0409] In some embodiments, as Figure 35 shown, the first shift register SR1(j) includes: an input sub-circuit 121, a first pull-up node PU1, and a first output sub-circuit 122. The input sub-circuit 121 is coupled to the input signal terminal IPT and the first pull-up node PU1.

[0411] The first output sub - circuit 122 is coupled to the first pull - up node PU1, the clock signal terminal CLK, the first signal output terminal GOUT1, and the second signal output terminal OUTC. The first signal output terminal GOUT1 is coupled to the control electrode of the first transistor T1 through the first gate line GL1.

[0413] The first output sub - circuit 122 is further configured to transmit the clock signal from the clock signal terminal CLK to the second signal output terminal OUTC under the control of the voltage of the first pull - up node PU1.

[0414] Exemplarily, each first gate line GL1(n) is electrically connected to the control electrodes of a plurality of first transistors T1 arranged in a row, and the first transistors T1 in this row are turned on under the control of the voltage of the first gate line GL1(n) electrically connected to them.

[0415] It should be noted that the above is only an example of a possible working mode of the input sub - circuit 121 and the first output sub - circuit 122 when the first shift register SR1(j) is working, and is not a limitation on the specific working mode of the input sub - circuit 121 and the first output sub - circuit 122 in the first shift register SR1(j). The above can be the working mode of the input sub - circuit 121 and the first output sub - circuit 122 in any working stage of the display device, such as the display stage.

[0416] In some embodiments, as Figure 36 shown, the first output sub - circuit 122 includes: a third transistor M3, a thirteenth transistor M13, and a first capacitor C1.

[0427] The first control sub-circuit 123 is further configured to transmit the first voltage signal provided by the first voltage signal terminal VDD1 to the first pull-down node PD1 under the control of the voltage of the first pull-down control node PD-CN1.

[0428] It should be noted that the above is only an example of a possible working mode of the first control sub-circuit 123 when the first shift register SR1(j) is working, and does not limit the specific working mode of the first control sub-circuit 123 in the first shift register SR1(j).

[0499] In other examples, a plurality of second pixel circuits 3 are all coupled to the same second gate line GL2, and the control electrodes of the plurality of second transistors T2 included in the display panel 100 are all electrically connected to the same second gate line GL2. In this way, one second gate line GL2 can control the conduction of each second transistor T2.

[0500] It should be noted that the connection manner of the second gate line GL2 with the second pixel circuit 3 and the second transistor T2 can be selected as needed. The above is only an exemplary illustration of possible implementation manners of the present disclosure and does not limit the present disclosure.

[0573] The second pixel electrodes 31 of different first-color pixel circuits 3a may all be coupled to the same light-emitting data input terminal VL; alternatively, the light-emitting data input terminal VL is provided in one-to-one correspondence with the second pixel electrodes 31, the second pixel electrodes 31 of the first-color pixel circuits 3a are all coupled to one light-emitting data input terminal VL, and the second pixel electrodes 31 of the second-color pixel circuits 3b are all coupled to another light-emitting data input terminal VL; or, the light-emitting data input terminal VL is provided in one-to-one correspondence with the second pixel electrodes 31, the second pixel electrodes 31 of different first-color pixel circuits 3a are respectively coupled to different light-emitting data input terminals VL, and the second pixel electrodes 31 of different second-color pixel circuits 3b are respectively coupled to different light-emitting data input terminals VL.

[0574] The first light-emitting color and the second light-emitting color may be any two of the three primary colors. For example, the second sub-pixel region P2(1) of the first light-emitting color is the second red sub-pixel region P2(R), and the second sub-pixel region P2(2) of the second light-emitting color is the second green sub-pixel region P2(G).

[0575] The second red sub-pixel region P2(R) and the second green sub-pixel region P2(G) may be lit simultaneously or in a time-division manner.

[0576] When the second red sub-pixel region P2(R) and the second green sub-pixel region P2(G) are lit simultaneously, the display panel 100 may emit light / not emit light through the light-transmitting region BB (the second red sub-pixel region P2(R) and the second green sub-pixel region P2(G)), corresponding to the working state / non-working state of the sensor 300.

[0577] When the second red sub-pixel region P2(R) and the second green sub-pixel region P2(G) may be lit in a time-division manner, the display panel 100 may also distinguish the working state and the non-working state of the sensor 300 by lighting the second red sub-pixel region P2(R) or the second green sub-pixel region P2(G).

[0578] Exemplarily, the light-emitting data input terminal VL may be located in the bonding area BA.

[0579] Exemplarily, the fact that at least one light-emitting data input terminal VL is insulated from the data line DL means that the light-emitting data input terminal VL is electrically insulated from the first data line DL1 and / or the second data line DL2.

[0580] The light-emitting data input terminal VL is configured to provide a second data signal to the second pixel electrode 31.

[0581] The second data signal may be a grayscale signal, and the second sub-pixel region P2 achieves different emission brightnesses according to different grayscale signals received by the second pixel electrode 31. For example, the emission brightness of the light-transmitting region BB adopts 256 grayscales. Correspondingly, the emission brightness of the second sub-pixel region P2 adopts 256 grayscales. When the second sub-pixel region P2 emits light and does not emit light, the grayscale signals received by the second pixel electrode 31 are different.

[0582] Based on this, when the second sub-pixel region P2 does not emit light, the grayscale signal received by the second pixel electrode 31 may be L0. Correspondingly, when the second sub-pixel region P2 emits light, the grayscale signal received by the second pixel electrode 31 may be any value from L1 to L255.

[0583] Furthermore, when the light-transmitting region BB changes its emission brightness according to the working state of the sensor 300, it may be that when the sensor 300 is in the working state, the second sub-pixel region P2 emits light of the first brightness, and when the sensor 300 is in the non-working state, the second sub-pixel region P2 does not emit light or emits light of the second brightness.

[0584] Based on this, when the second sub-pixel region P2 emits light of the first brightness and the second brightness, the grayscale signals received by the second pixel electrode 31 may be any two different values from L1 to L255. The specific values can be selected according to needs, as long as the brightness difference between the light of the first brightness and the light of the second brightness can be clearly distinguished.

[0585] The above is only an exemplary illustration of some possible implementation manners of the present disclosure, and does not limit the present disclosure.

[0586] In some embodiments, as ​ and ​ shown, the display panel 100 includes: M light-emitting data input terminals VL(f) (1 ≤ f ≤ M), where M is greater than or equal to 2. Each light-emitting data input terminal VL(f) is coupled to at least one second pixel electrode 31.

[0587] The display panel 100 further includes: a light-emitting data driving circuit 14 and M control signal terminals IN(f). Among them, the M control signal terminals IN(f) correspond to the M light-emitting data input terminals VL(f) one by one.

Among them, when one of the M control signal terminals IN(h) outputs a working level, the other control signal terminals IN(f) output non-working levels.

[0589] The second pixel electrode 31 of the second sub-pixel region P2 with the same emission color can be coupled to the same light-emitting data input terminal VL(f). With such a design, when the display panel 100 includes multiple second sub-pixel regions P2 with different emission colors, when the second sub-pixel region P2 of one emission color receives the second data signal provided by the corresponding light-emitting data input terminal VL(f) and emits light, the second sub-pixel regions P2 of the remaining emission colors will not receive the second data signal provided by their corresponding light-emitting data input terminals VL(f), so that the second sub-pixel regions P2 with the same emission color can be lit simultaneously, and the second sub-pixel regions P2 with different emission colors will not be lit simultaneously.

[0590] In some embodiments, as ​ shown, the output terminal of the light-emitting data driving circuit 14 is electrically connected to the second pixel electrode 31.

[0591] When the second data signal is provided to the second pixel electrode 31 through the light-emitting data driving circuit 14, the second pixel circuit 3 can be driven in an active driving manner or a passive driving manner.

[0592] When the second pixel circuit 3 is driven in a passive driving manner, in some examples, as ​ shown, the light-emitting data input terminal VL is coupled to the second pixel electrode 31 through the light-emitting data driving circuit 14.

The light-emitting data input terminal VL and the second pixel electrode 31 are coupled to the first pole of the second transistor T2 through the light-emitting data driving circuit 14, and the second pole of the second transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second pixel electrode 31.

[0594] In this case, as ​ shown, the display panel 100 further includes: a second transistor T2, and the output terminal of the light-emitting data driving circuit 14 is coupled to the second pixel electrode 31 through the second transistor T2.

[0595] The driving manner of the second pixel circuit 3 in a passive driving manner can be selected as needed. This is only an exemplary illustration of some possible implementation manners of the present disclosure and does not limit the present disclosure.

[0596] In some embodiments, as ​ and ​As shown, the display panel 100 includes: a first light-emitting data driving circuit 141 and a second light-emitting data driving circuit 142. Both the first light-emitting data driving circuit 141 and the second light-emitting data driving circuit 142 are light-emitting data driving circuits 14. The M control signal terminals IN(f) include a first control signal terminal IN(1) and a second control signal terminal IN(2). The M light-emitting data input terminals VL(f) include: a first light-emitting data input terminal VL(1) and a second light-emitting data input terminal VL(2).

[0597] The display panel 100 includes a plurality of second pixel circuits 3. The plurality of second pixel circuits 3 include a first color pixel circuit 3a and a second color pixel circuit 3b. The display panel 100 has different colors of emitted light in the region defined by the first color pixel circuit 3a and the region defined by the second color pixel circuit 3b. The second pixel electrode 31a of the first color pixel circuit 3a is coupled to the output terminal of the first light-emitting data driving circuit 141.

[0602] Exemplarily, in the light-emitting stage of the light-transmissive region BB, the red second sub-pixel region P2(R) and the green second sub-pixel region P2(G) emit light in a time-division manner, for example. When the red second sub-pixel region P2(R) emits light, the green second sub-pixel region P2(G) does not emit light; when the green second sub-pixel region P2(G) emits light, the red second sub-pixel region P2(R) does not emit light.

[0603] As ​ 、 ​ and ​As shown, the light-emitting stage of the light-transmitting region BB includes a first light-emitting stage Tf1 and a second light-emitting stage Tf2. During the first light-emitting stage Tf1, the red second sub-pixel region P2(R) emits light, and the green second sub-pixel region P2(G) does not emit light; during the second light-emitting stage Tf2, the green second sub-pixel region P2(G) emits light, and the red second sub-pixel region P2(R) does not emit light.

[0604] When the voltage of the light-emitting data signal received by the second pixel electrode 31 is higher than or equal to the set operating voltage, the second sub-pixel region P2 emits light; when the voltage of the light-emitting data signal received by the second pixel electrode 31 is lower than the set operating voltage, the second sub-pixel region P2 does not emit light.

[0606] During the first light-emitting stage Tf1, as ​ shown, the second control signal provided by the second control signal terminal IN(2) is at a non-operating level, and the first control signal provided by the first control signal terminal IN(1) is at an operating level at least for part of the time.

[0607] As ​ and ​ shown, when the first control signal is at an operating level, the first light-emitting data driving circuit 141 transmits the first light-emitting data signal provided by the first light-emitting data input terminal VL(1) to the second pixel electrode 31a, and the red second sub-pixel region P2(R) emits light.

[0608] As ​ and ​ shown, when the first control signal is at an operating level, the second light-emitting data driving circuit 142 transmits the second light-emitting data signal provided by the second light-emitting data input terminal VL(2) to the second pixel electrode 31b, and the green second sub-pixel region P2(G) does not emit light.

[0609] During the second light-emitting stage Tf2, as ​ shown, the first control signal provided by the first control signal terminal IN(1) is at a non-operating level, and the second control signal provided by the second control signal terminal IN(2) is at an operating level at least for part of the time.

[0610] As ​ and ​As shown, when the second control signal is at the working level, the first light-emitting data driving circuit 141 transmits the second light-emitting data signal provided by the second light-emitting data input terminal VL(2) to the second pixel electrode 31a, and the red second sub-pixel area P2(R) does not emit light.

[0611] like ​ and ​ As shown, when the first control signal is at the working level, the second light-emitting data driving circuit 142 transmits the first light-emitting data signal provided by the first light-emitting data input terminal VL(1) to the second pixel electrode 31b, and the green second sub-pixel area P2(G) emits light.

[0612] In the case where the light-emitting data driving circuit 14 is not provided, when the second sub-pixel area P2 corresponding to the second data line DL2 emits light, the voltage of the second data signal transmitted by the second data line DL2 is higher than or equal to the set working voltage; when the second sub-pixel area P2 corresponding to the second data line DL2 does not emit light, the voltage of the second data signal transmitted by the second data line DL2 is lower than the set working voltage. In this case, the same second data line DL2 needs to transmit at least two different second data signals.

[0613] In this embodiment, by providing the data driving circuit 14, the control signal terminal IN(f) and the light emitting data input terminal VL(f), the same second data line DL2 only needs to transmit one light emitting data signal. The light emitting data signal transmitted by the signal line connecting the light emitting data input terminal VL(f) and the data driving circuit 14 remains unchanged, and compared with using the data line DL to transmit the light emitting data signal, the driving circuit of the display panel 100 can be simplified.

[0614] Moreover, in the light-emitting stage of the light-transmitting area BB, the second pixel electrodes 31 corresponding to the second sub-pixel areas P2 of different light-emitting colors are all coupled to the same light-emitting data input terminal VL(f), and the time-sharing lighting of the second sub-pixel areas P2 of different light-emitting colors is realized through different connection methods of the data driving circuit 14, the control signal terminal IN(f) and the light-emitting data input terminal VL(f).

[0615] Compared with setting different luminous data input terminals VL(f) for the second sub-pixel areas P2 with different luminous colors, some embodiments of the present disclosure can reduce the number of luminous data input terminals VL(f), thereby facilitating reducing the width of the border AN of the display panel 100.

The second pixel electrodes 31 corresponding to the second sub-pixel regions P2 of different light-emitting colors are coupled to the same light-emitting data input terminal VL(f). Through different connection modes of the data driving circuit 14, the control signal terminal IN(f), and the light-emitting data input terminal VL(f), the second sub-pixel regions P2 of different light-emitting colors are lit up in a time-sharing manner. The number of settings of the light-emitting data input terminal VL(f) can be reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the width of the border AN of the display panel 100.

[0628] Moreover, the structure of the light-emitting data driving circuit 14 is simple, which can simplify the structure of the display panel 100.
