[0019] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0020] This application provides a display panel in which the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel in the (n+1)th pixel row are electrically connected to the (2n+1)th scan line, and the second sub-pixel and the fourth sub-pixel in the (n+1)th pixel row are electrically connected to the (2n+2)th scan line; the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel in the (n+2)th pixel row are electrically connected to the (2n+3)th scan line; and the second sub-pixel and the fourth sub-pixel in the (n+2)th pixel row are electrically connected to the (2n+4)th scan line.

In the first display mode, the gate driver is used to simultaneously input electrical signals to the (2n+1)th and (2n+3)th scanning lines in one frame of display. The gate driver is also used to simultaneously input electrical signals to the (2n+2)th and (2n+4)th scanning lines in one frame of display. That is, in each frame of display in the first display mode, starting from the second pixel row, the (2n+1)th scanning line is connected to the gate driver. The scan line and the (2n+3)th scan line are simultaneously input with electrical signals, turning on the (2n+1)th scan line and the (2n+3)th scan line simultaneously.

The second sub-pixel and the fourth sub-pixel in the (n+1)th pixel row connected to the (2n+2)th scan line, and the second sub-pixel and the fourth sub-pixel in the (n+2)th pixel row connected to the (2n+4)th scan line, can be displayed simultaneously. This reduces the number of times all sub-pixels need to be charged by half. While keeping the charging time for one frame of the display panel constant, the total charging time for all sub-pixels can be reduced by half, thereby increasing the refresh rate of the display panel without reducing the charging time of the sub-pixels.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The technical solutions described below are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and similar words do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different technical features. The terms "multiple" and similar words indicate two or more unless otherwise expressly specified.

[0028] The first embodiment of this application provides a display panel 10, see reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The display panel 10 includes multiple data lines 100, multiple scan lines 200, multiple pixel rows 300, and a gate driver 500.

[0029] Specifically, multiple data lines 100 are arranged at intervals in the row direction of the display panel 10; multiple scan lines 200 are arranged at intervals in the column direction of the display panel 10; each pixel row 300 includes multiple sub-pixels arranged at intervals in sequence, the sub-pixels including a first sub-pixel 301 of a first color, a second sub-pixel 302 of a second color, a third sub-pixel 303 of a third color, and a fourth sub-pixel 304 of a fourth color, the first sub-pixel 301 and the third sub-pixel 303 in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 are electrically connected to the (2n+1)th scan line 200, and the second sub-pixel 302 and the fourth sub-pixel 304 in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 are electrically connected to the (2n+2)th scan line 200, and so on. The first sub-pixel 301 and the third sub-pixel 303 in the two pixel rows 300 are electrically connected to the (2n+3)th scan line 200, and the second sub-pixel 302 and the fourth sub-pixel 304 in the (n+2)th pixel row 300 are electrically connected to the (2n+4)th scan line 200, where n is an odd number; the gate driver 500 is electrically connected to multiple scan lines 200. In the first display mode, the gate driver 500 is used to simultaneously input electrical signals to the (2n+1)th scan line 200 and the (2n+3)th scan line 200 in one frame of display. The gate driver 500 is also used to simultaneously input electrical signals to the (2n+2)th scan line 200 and the (2n+4)th scan line 200 in one frame of display.

[0030] In order to improve the image quality of the display panel 10, each sub-pixel of the conventional WRGB structure display panel 10 will undergo polarity conversion after one or several frames. During the polarity conversion, the sub-pixel changes from high voltage to low voltage or from low voltage to high voltage, which increases the charging time of the sub-pixel. When displaying at a high refresh rate, it is easy to cause insufficient charging of the sub-pixels of the display panel 10, resulting in display abnormalities of the display panel 10. Therefore, the technical solution of this application provides a display panel 10, which is configured to electrically connect the first sub-pixel 301 and the third sub-pixel 303 in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 to the (2n+1)th scan line 200, and the second sub-pixel 302 and the fourth sub-pixel 304 in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 to the (2n+2)th scan line 200, the first sub-pixel 301 and the third sub-pixel 303 in the (n+2)th pixel row 300 to the (2n+3)th scan line 200, and the second sub-pixel 302 and the fourth sub-pixel 304 in the (n+2)th pixel row 300 to the (2n+4)th scan line 200, where n is an odd number; and the gate driver 500 is configured to electrically connect to multiple scan lines 200. In a first display mode, the gate driver 500 is used to simultaneously connect to the (2n+1)th scan line 200 in one frame of display. The gate driver 500 is further configured to simultaneously input electrical signals to the (2n+2)th and (2n+4)th scan lines 200 in a single frame of display; that is, in each frame of display in the first display mode, starting from the second pixel row 300, electrical signals are input to the (2n+1)th and (2n+3)th scan lines 200 simultaneously. The signal simultaneously turns on the (2n+1)th scan line 200 and the (2n+3)th scan line 200, so that the first sub-pixel 301 and the third sub-pixel 303 in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 connected to the (2n+1)th scan line 200, and the first sub-pixel 301 and the third sub-pixel 303 in the (n+2)th pixel row 300 connected to the (2n+3)th scan line 200 can be displayed simultaneously;Simultaneously inputting electrical signals to the (2n+2)th and (2n+4)th scan lines 200, the (2n+2)th and (2n+4)th scan lines 200 are simultaneously turned on. This allows the second sub-pixel 302 and the fourth sub-pixel 304 in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 connected to the (2n+2)th scan line 200, as well as the second sub-pixel 302 and the fourth sub-pixel 304 in the (n+2)th pixel row 300 connected to the (2n+4)th scan line 200, to be displayed simultaneously. This reduces the total charging time for all sub-pixels by half, increasing the refresh rate of the display panel without reducing the charging time of individual sub-pixels. Furthermore, due to the simultaneous input of electrical signals to the (2n+1)th scan line 200, the (2n+2)th scan line 200, and the (2n+4)th scan line 200, the (2n+1)th scan line 200, and the (2n+4)th scan line 200, the (2n+1)th scan line 200, and the (2n+4)th scan line 200, the (2n+2 ... and the (2n+1)th scan line 200, can be displayed at the same time. The first sub-pixel 301 and the third sub-pixel 303 in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 connected by the line 200, and the first sub-pixel 301 and the third sub-pixel 303 in the (n+2)th pixel row 300 connected by the (2n+3)th scan line 200 can be displayed simultaneously. Similarly, the second sub-pixel 302 and the fourth sub-pixel 304 in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 connected by the (2n+2)th scan line 200, and the second sub-pixel 302 and the fourth sub-pixel 304 in the (n+2)th pixel row 300 connected by the (2n+4)th scan line 200 can be displayed simultaneously. This ensures that both pairs of sub-pixels in two sub-pixel rows 300 are displayed with the same color, thus avoiding color mixing issues caused by simultaneous charging.

[0031] refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the display panel 10 includes a display area and a border area surrounding the display area, the border area including a left border area and a right border area.

[0032] In this embodiment, the gate driver 500 includes a first gate driver 500 and a second gate driver 500. The first gate driver 500 is located in the left frame area of ​​the display panel 10, and the second gate driver 500 is located in the right frame area of ​​the display panel 10.

[0033] In this embodiment, the gate driver 500 is also used to sequentially input electrical signals to the scan line 200 in a frame of display in the second display mode.

[0034] In this embodiment, the polarity of each sub-pixel of the display panel 10 corresponding to the current frame is opposite to the polarity of each sub-pixel of the display panel 10 corresponding to the next frame or several frames.

[0035] In this embodiment, the refresh rate of the display panel 10 in the first display mode is higher than the refresh rate of the display panel 10 in the second display mode.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first scan line 200 is electrically connected to the first sub-pixel 301 and the third sub-pixel 303 in the first pixel row 300, and the second scan line 200 is electrically connected to the second sub-pixel 302 and the fourth sub-pixel 304 in the first pixel row 300.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first sub-pixel 301 is a red sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel 302 is a green sub-pixel, the third sub-pixel 303 is a blue sub-pixel, and the fourth sub-pixel 304 is a white sub-pixel.

[0038] In this embodiment, taking a 4x8 pixel arrangement as an example, the corresponding number of scan lines 200 is 8 and the number of data lines 100 is 4.

[0039] The subpixels in row 300 of the first pixel are arranged in the following order: red subpixel, green subpixel, blue subpixel, white subpixel, red subpixel, green subpixel, blue subpixel, white subpixel, and so on, in a cyclical pattern. The subpixels in row 300 of the second pixel are arranged in the following order: blue subpixel, white subpixel, red subpixel, green subpixel, blue subpixel, white subpixel, red subpixel, green subpixel, and so on, in a cyclical pattern. The subpixels in row 300 of the third pixel are arranged in the following order: red subpixel, green subpixel, blue subpixel, white subpixel, red subpixel, green subpixel, blue subpixel, white subpixel, and so on, in a cyclical pattern. The subpixels in row 300 of the fourth pixel are arranged in the following order: blue subpixel, white subpixel, red subpixel, green subpixel, blue subpixel, white subpixel, red subpixel, green subpixel, and so on, in a cyclical pattern. In this embodiment, each data line 100 is connected to two sub-pixels of different colors in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 and two sub-pixels of different colors in the (n+2)th pixel row 300.

[0040] refer to Figure 2In this embodiment, two sub-pixels of different colors in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 connected to the same data line 100 are located on the same side of the data line 100, and two sub-pixels of different colors in the (n+2)th pixel row 300 connected to the same data line 100 are located on the same side of the data line 100. Because the arrangement order of multiple sub-pixels in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 is different from that in the (n+2)th pixel row 300, when two sub-pixels of different colors in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 connected to the same data line 100 are located on different sides of the data line 100, and when two sub-pixels of different colors in the (n+2)th pixel row 300 connected to the same data line 100 are located on different sides of the data line 100, it is difficult to achieve simultaneous display of the first sub-pixel 301 and the third sub-pixel 303 in the two rows of pixels, or simultaneous display of the second sub-pixel 302 and the fourth sub-pixel 304 in the two rows of pixels. Therefore, by setting two sub-pixels of different colors in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 connected to the same data line 100 to be located on the same side of the data line 100, and setting two sub-pixels of different colors in the (n+2)th pixel row 300 connected to the same data line 100 to be located on the same side of the data line 100, it is ensured that when the (2n+1)th scan line 200 and the (2n+3)th scan line 200 are turned on simultaneously, the (2n+1)th scan line 200 will be on the same side as the (2n+1)th scan line 200. The (n+1)th pixel row 300 connected to 00 and the (n+2)th pixel row 300 connected to the (2n+3)th scan line 200 will not mix colors simultaneously. When the (2n+2)th scan line 200 and the (2n+4)th scan line 200 are turned on simultaneously, the (n+1)th pixel row 300 connected to the (2n+2)th scan line 200 and the (n+2)th pixel row 300 connected to the (2n+4)th scan line 200 will not mix colors simultaneously.

[0041] refer to Figure 2In this embodiment, each sub-pixel in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 and each sub-pixel in the (n+2)th pixel row 300 are electrically connected to the data line 100 via a connecting line 600, and the lengths of the multiple connecting lines 600 located on the same scan line 200 are equal. By setting each sub-pixel in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 and each sub-pixel in the (n+2)th pixel row 300 to be electrically connected to the data line 100 via a connecting line 600, and the lengths of the multiple connecting lines 600 located on the same scan line 200 are equal, it is convenient to simultaneously manufacture multiple connecting lines 600 located on the same scan line 200 when manufacturing the display panel 10, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the display panel 10.

[0042] refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the connecting line 600 includes a first sub-line 610 and a second sub-line 620. One of the two sub-pixels in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 connected to the same data line 100 is connected to the data line 100 through the first sub-line 610, and the other of the two sub-pixels in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 connected to the same data line 100 is connected to the data line 100 through the second sub-line 620. One of the two sub-pixels in the (n+2)th pixel row 300 connected to the same data line 100 is connected to the data line 100 through the first sub-line 610, and the other of the two sub-pixels in the (n+2)th pixel row 300 connected to the same data line 100 is connected to the data line 100 through the second sub-line 620. The lengths of the first sub-line 610 and the second sub-line 620 are not equal.

One of two adjacent pixel columns 400 includes two of the first sub-pixel 301, the second sub-pixel 302, the third sub-pixel 303 and the fourth sub-pixel 304. The other of the two adjacent pixel columns 400 includes the other two of the first sub-pixel 301, the second sub-pixel 302, the third sub-pixel 303 and the fourth sub-pixel 304.

[0044] refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the colors of two adjacent sub-pixels in each pixel column 400 are different.

[0045] refer to Figure 2In this embodiment, the arrangement order of the multiple sub-pixels of different colors in the (n+1)th pixel row 300 is the same as the arrangement order of the multiple sub-pixels of different colors in the (n+3)th pixel row 300, and the arrangement order of the multiple sub-pixels of different colors in the (n+2)th pixel row 300 is the same as the arrangement order of the multiple sub-pixels of different colors in the (n+4)th pixel row 300.
