[0047] The following describes the implementation of this disclosure through specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this disclosure from the content disclosed in this specification. This disclosure can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified and changed for different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this invention.

[0048] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified herein, the presence of an element "a" is not limited to having a single element, but may include one or more of the elements. Furthermore, the use of ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" in the specification and claims to modify elements of a claim does not itself imply or represent any prior ordinal number for that claimed element, nor does it represent the order of one claimed element with another, or the order of manufacturing processes. The use of these ordinal numbers is solely for the purpose of clearly distinguishing one claimed element with a given name from another claimed element with the same name.

[0049] Throughout this disclosure and in the claims, certain terms are used to refer to specific elements. Those skilled in the art will understand that electronic device manufacturers may use different names to refer to the same element. This document is not intended to distinguish between elements that have the same function but different names. In the following description and claims, words such as “comprising,” “including,” “containing,” “having,” etc., are open-ended terms and should therefore be interpreted as “containing but not limited to…”. Therefore, when the terms “comprising,” “including,” “containing,” and / or “having” are used in the description of this disclosure, they specify the presence of the corresponding feature, area, step, operation, and / or component, but do not exclude the presence of one or more of the corresponding feature, area, step, operation, and / or component.

[0050] In this text, the terms "about," "approximately," "substantially," and "roughly" typically indicate that a given value or range is within 10%, 5%, 3%, 2%, 1%, or 0.5%. The given quantity is an approximate quantity; that is, even without specific mention of "about," "approximately," "substantially," or "roughly," the meaning of these terms is implied. Furthermore, the phrases "range from the first value to the second value" or "range between the first value and the second value" indicate that the range includes the first value, the second value, and other values ​​in between.

[0051] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains. It is understood that these terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the relevant art and the background or context of this disclosure, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal manner, unless specifically defined herein.

[0052] Furthermore, relative terms such as "below" or "bottom" and "above" or "top" may be used in the embodiments to describe the relative relationship of one element to another in the figures. It is understood that if the apparatus in the figures is flipped upside down, the element described as being on the "below" side will become the element on the "above" side. When a corresponding component (e.g., a membrane or region) is referred to as "on another component," it can be directly on the other component, or there may be other components between them. On the other hand, when a component is referred to as "directly on another component," there are no components between them. Additionally, when a component is referred to as "on another component," there is a vertical relationship between them in the top view, and this component can be above or below the other component, depending on the orientation of the apparatus.

[0053] In this disclosure, the thickness, length, width, or distance and angle between components can be measured using an optical microscopy (OM), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), an alpha-step thickness gauge, an ellipsometry, or other suitable methods. Specifically, according to some embodiments, a scanning electron microscope can be used to obtain cross-sectional images of the structure and measure the thickness, length, width, or distance and angle between components. Furthermore, any two values ​​or directions used for comparison may have a certain degree of error. If the first value equals the second value, it implies an error of approximately 10% between the first and second values; if the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, the angle between the first and second directions may be between 80 and 100 degrees; if the first direction is parallel to the second direction, the angle between the first and second directions may be between 0 and 10 degrees.

[0054] The embodiments disclosed herein can be understood in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which are also considered part of the disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings are not drawn to scale; in fact, the dimensions of the elements may be arbitrarily enlarged or reduced to clearly illustrate the features of this disclosure.

[0055] It should be noted that the technical solutions provided in the different embodiments below can be substituted for, combined or mixed with each other to constitute another embodiment without violating the spirit of this disclosure.

[0058] In one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, the electronic device includes: a substrate 1; a plurality of scan lines 2 disposed on the substrate 1 and extending along a first direction X, wherein the plurality of scan lines 2 includes a scan line 21; a plurality of data lines 3 disposed on the substrate 1 and extending along a second direction Y and intersecting with the plurality of scan lines 2, wherein, in some embodiments, intersecting means that the extension direction of the scan lines 2 is different from the extension direction of the data lines 3; in some embodiments, the first direction X is different from the second direction Y, and the plurality of data lines 3 includes a first data line 31; and a plurality of sub-pixels 4 disposed on the substrate 1 and including a first sub-pixel 41 and a second sub-pixel 42. The scan line 21 is used to output a first signal (e.g., a scan signal), and the first data line 31 is used to output a second signal (e.g., a data signal). The first sub-pixel 41 can receive the first signal and the second signal, and the second sub-pixel 42 can receive the first signal and the second signal, wherein the color of the first sub-pixel 41 is the same as the color of the second sub-pixel 42. In one embodiment of this disclosure, Figure 1A and Figure 1B In this context, subpixels of the same color are represented by the same fill pattern. Figure 1B Taking the upper left sub-pixel as an example, the sub-pixel with the same filling pattern can be the second sub-pixel 42, but this disclosure is not limited to this.

[0059] In this disclosure, such as Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, the multiple data lines 3 further include a second data line 32 disposed on the substrate 1, wherein the second data line 32 is used to output a third signal (e.g., a data signal). The multiple sub-pixels 4 further include a third sub-pixel 43 disposed on the substrate 1 and located between the first sub-pixel 41 and the second sub-pixel 42. The color of the third sub-pixel 43 is different from the color of the first sub-pixel 41, and the third sub-pixel 43 can receive both the first signal and the third signal.

[0062] In one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, multiple sub-pixels 4 are arranged in an array, more detailed... Figure 1A Taking a 4x4 pixel array as an example, each pixel can contain, for example,... Figure 1B The 6x6 array shown has 4 sub-pixels, therefore, Figure 1A In this disclosure, sub-pixels 4 are arranged in a 24x24 array, but this disclosure is not limited to this; the number and arrangement of sub-pixels 4 can be adjusted as needed. In this disclosure, in the first direction X, the number of sub-pixels 4 can be greater than the number of data lines 3, for example... Figure 1A In the example, there are 24 sub-pixels 4 in the first direction X, and 12 data lines 3; Figure 1B In the example, there are 6 sub-pixels 4 in the first direction X and 3 data lines 3, but this disclosure is not limited to this. In this disclosure, in the second direction Y, the number of sub-pixels 4 can be greater than the number of scan lines 2, for example... Figure 1A In the example, there are 24 sub-pixels 4 in the second direction Y, and 4 scan lines 2; Figure 1B In the example, there are 6 sub-pixels 4 in the second direction Y and 1 scan line 2, but this disclosure is not limited to this. The aforementioned design can improve the display quality of the electronic device. In this disclosure, the number of data lines 3 is calculated based on the number of one end of the data line 3 connected to a second driving element D2. In this disclosure, the number of scan lines 2 is calculated based on the number of one end of the scan line 2 connected to a first driving element D1.

[0063] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the length L1 of sub-pixel 4 (e.g., first sub-pixel 41, second sub-pixel 42, third sub-pixel 43, or fourth sub-pixel 44) can be defined as the distance from one edge of sub-pixel 4 to the same edge of another adjacent sub-pixel 4, for example... Figure 1BAs shown, the first sub-pixel 41 can be adjacent to the fourth sub-pixel 44, and the length L1 of the first sub-pixel 41 can be the distance between the edge e1 of the first sub-pixel 41 and the same edge e2 of the adjacent fourth sub-pixel 44. In one embodiment of this disclosure, in the extension direction of the scan line 2 (e.g., the first direction X), the length L1 of the sub-pixel 4 (e.g., the first sub-pixel 41, the second sub-pixel 42, the third sub-pixel 43, or the fourth sub-pixel 44) can be greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm (i.e., 0.1 mm ≦ L1 ≦ 10 mm). For example, the length L1 of the sub-pixel 4 (e.g., the first sub-pixel 41, the second sub-pixel 42, the third sub-pixel 43, or the fourth sub-pixel 44) can be greater than or equal to (1 / 6) mm and less than or equal to 5 mm (i.e., 1 / 6 mm ≦ L1 ≦ 5 mm), or the length L1 of the sub-pixel 4 (e.g., the first sub-pixel 41, the second sub-pixel 42, the third sub-pixel 43, or the fourth sub-pixel 44) can be greater than or equal to (1 / 3) mm and less than or equal to 3 mm (i.e., 1 / 3 mm ≦ L1 ≦ 3 mm), but this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0064] In one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 1B As shown, the scan line 21 may include a first portion 21A and a second portion 21B connected to the first portion 21A. The first portion 21A is electrically connected to a first driving element D1, and the second portion 21B is electrically connected to a first sub-pixel 41 and / or a second sub-pixel 42. More specifically, the first portion 21A of the scan line 21 may be directly connected to the first driving element D1, and the second portion 21B of the scan line 21 may be connected to the first portion 21A and the first sub-pixel 41 and / or the second sub-pixel 42, respectively. Therefore, the first driving element D1 can output a first signal through the first portion 21A of the scan line 21, and the first sub-pixel 41 and the second sub-pixel 42 can receive the first signal through the second portion 21B of the scan line 21, thereby transmitting the scan signal from the first driving element D1 to the first sub-pixel 41 and the second sub-pixel 42. The second portion 21B of scan line 21 can also be electrically connected to the third sub-pixel 43 and the fourth sub-pixel 44, thereby transmitting the first signal (e.g., a scan signal) from the first driving element D1 to the third sub-pixel 43 and the fourth sub-pixel 44. In this disclosure, the number and extension direction of the second portion 21B of scan line 21 are not particularly limited and can be adjusted according to the design of the sub-pixel 4. In one embodiment of this disclosure, the number of scan lines 2 can be calculated by the number of the first portions 21A of scan lines 2 connected to the first driving element D1.

[0065] In one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 1A and Figure 1BAs shown, the first data line 31 may include a third portion 31A and a fourth portion 31B connected to the third portion 31A. The third portion 31A is electrically connected to a second driving element D2, and the fourth portion 31B is electrically connected to the first sub-pixel 41 and / or the second sub-pixel 42. More specifically, the third portion 31A of the first data line 31 may be directly connected to the second driving element D2, and the fourth portion 31B of the first data line 31 may be connected to the third portion 31A and the first sub-pixel 41 and / or the second sub-pixel 42, respectively. Therefore, the second driving element D2 can output a second signal through the third portion 31A of the first data line 31, and the first sub-pixel 41 and the second sub-pixel 42 can receive the second signal through the fourth portion 31B of the first data line 31, thereby transmitting the second signal (e.g., a data signal) from the second driving element D2 to the first sub-pixel 41 and the second sub-pixel 42. In this disclosure, the number and extension direction of the fourth portion 31B of the first data line 31 are not particularly limited and can be adjusted depending on the design of the sub-pixel 4.

[0066] Similarly, the second data line 32 may include a fifth portion 32A and a sixth portion 32B connected to the fifth portion 32A, wherein the fifth portion 32A is electrically connected to the second driving element D2, and the sixth portion 32B is electrically connected to the third sub-pixel 43. More specifically, the fifth portion 32A of the second data line 32 may be directly connected to the second driving element D2, and the sixth portion 32B of the second data line 32 may be connected to both the fifth portion 32A and the third sub-pixel 43. Therefore, the second driving element D2 can output a third signal through the fifth portion 32A of the second data line 32, and the third sub-pixel 43 can receive the third signal through the sixth portion 32B of the second data line 32, thereby transmitting the third signal (e.g., a data signal) from the second driving element D2 to the third sub-pixel 43. In this disclosure, the number and extension direction of the sixth portions 32B of the second data line 32 are not particularly limited and can be adjusted according to the design of the sub-pixel 4.

[0067] Similarly, the third data line 33 may include a seventh portion 33A and an eighth portion 33B connected to the seventh portion 33A, wherein the seventh portion 33A is electrically connected to the second driving element D2, and the eighth portion 33B is electrically connected to the fourth sub-pixel 44. More specifically, the seventh portion 33A of the third data line 33 may be directly connected to the second driving element D2, and the eighth portion 33B of the third data line 33 may be connected to both the seventh portion 33A and the fourth sub-pixel 44. Therefore, the second driving element D2 can output a fourth signal through the seventh portion 33A of the third data line 33, and the fourth sub-pixel 44 can receive the fourth signal through the eighth portion 33B of the third data line 33, thereby transmitting the fourth signal (e.g., a data signal) from the second driving element D2 to the fourth sub-pixel 44. In this disclosure, the number and extension direction of the eighth portions 33B of the third data line 33 are not particularly limited and can be adjusted according to the design of the sub-pixel 4. In one embodiment of this disclosure, the number of data lines 3 can be calculated by the number of the third portion 31A of the first data line 31, the fifth portion 32A of the second data line 32, and the seventh portion 33A of the third data line 33 connected to the second driving element D2.

[0068] In one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 1A As shown, the first driving element D1 and the second driving element D2 may each be disposed adjacent to the substrate 1, but in other embodiments, the first driving element D1 and the second driving element D2 may be selectively disposed on the substrate 1.

[0069] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the electronic device may include a plurality of TFTs selectively disposed in a sub-pixel 4. The TFTs may be electrically connected to the scan line 2 and the data line 3 respectively, to act as switching transistors to drive the sub-pixel 4. For example... Figure 1A and Figure 1B As shown, each sub-pixel 4 may include a transistor TFT, and the transistor TFT may be electrically connected to the corresponding scan line 2 and data line 3 respectively, thereby driving the corresponding sub-pixel 4, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. In one embodiment of this disclosure, the number of transistor TFTs may be equal to the number of sub-pixels 4, but this disclosure is not limited thereto.

In this disclosure, the number of data lines 3 is calculated based on the number of one end of the data line 3 connected to a second driving element D2.

[0073] In one embodiment of this disclosure, such as Figure 2As shown, the number of transistors TFTs can be less than the number of sub-pixels 4. More specifically, the transistors TFTs can be respectively disposed in one of the first sub-pixel 41, the third sub-pixel 43 and the fourth sub-pixel 44.

Similarly, the third sub-pixels 43 are electrically connected via a second connecting line C2.
