Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display panel, a driving method for the display panel, and a display device. Background Technology

[0002] Stretchable displays are a revolutionary display technology. Their core characteristic is their ability to undergo significant elastic deformation (stretching, bending, and twisting) while maintaining their display function during or after deformation. This is fundamentally different from traditional rigid displays and mainstream flexible displays (which can only bend). However, when a stretchable display is stretched, its physical area increases while the total number of pixels remains the same, leading to a decrease in the number of pixels per inch. This, in turn, results in a decrease in overall brightness. Furthermore, the surface deformation of the stretchable display during stretching affects the light emission efficiency of the pixels, causing localized or overall brightness reductions. Summary of the Invention

[0022] To address the technical problem of decreased brightness in existing stretchable displays when they are in a stretched state, this application provides a display panel, a driving method for the display panel, and a display device, which can solve the problem of decreased brightness in existing stretchable displays when they are in a stretched state.

[0023] Figure 1 A display panel provided in an embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1As shown, the above display panel includes: A pixel circuit 1 disposed on a flexible substrate includes: a multi-row sub-pixel unit 100, wherein the sub-pixel unit 100 includes: a plurality of display light-emitting modules 1001 and a first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002, and all display light-emitting modules 1001 in the same sub-pixel unit 100 have the same color. Specifically, Figure 1 In the diagram, R represents red, G represents green, and B represents blue. The display light-emitting module 1001 marked with R emits red light, the display light-emitting module 1001 marked with G emits green light, and the display light-emitting module 1001 marked with B emits blue light.

[0024] The driving circuit 2 disposed on the flexible substrate is used to drive the display light-emitting module 1001 to emit light during the display period to display image information; to drive the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 to emit light of a first brightness when the display panel is not in the stretched state and is in the display period; and to drive the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 to emit light of a second brightness when the display panel is in the stretched state and is in the display period, wherein the second brightness is greater than the first brightness.

[0025] Specific, exemplary, Figure 1 In the diagram, W represents white. The first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 emits white light, and the color of the light emitted by the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 can also be the same as the color of the light emitted by the display light-emitting module 1001 in the sub-pixel unit 100.

[0026] Specifically, for example, the first brightness can be 0, that is, when the display panel is not in a stretched state and is in the display period, the first brightness compensation light-emitting module does not emit light.

[0027] Through the above embodiments, multiple display light-emitting modules and a first brightness compensation light-emitting module are set in the sub-pixel unit. During the display period, the display light-emitting modules are driven to emit light to display image information. When the display panel is not in a stretched state and is in the display period, the first brightness compensation light-emitting module is driven to emit light of a first brightness. When the display panel is in a stretched state and is in the display period, the first brightness compensation light-emitting module is driven to emit light of a second brightness. The second brightness is greater than the first brightness to reduce the brightness attenuation caused by stretching, thereby solving the problem of brightness decrease when the stretchable display is in a stretched state in the prior art.

[0028] In one alternative embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the sub-pixel unit 100 includes four display light-emitting modules 1001. The sub-pixel unit 100 is rhomboid in shape. The first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 is also rhomboid in shape. The center point of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 coincides with the center point of the sub-pixel unit 100. Each side of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 is parallel to the corresponding side of the sub-pixel unit 100. The four display light-emitting modules 1001 are respectively disposed on the upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right sides of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002.

[0029] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the diagram, R represents red, G represents green, and B represents blue, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, each pixel unit 10 consists of three sub-pixel units 100 of the same color. Figure 3 An example is given of an arrangement of the three sub-pixel units 100 in the pixel unit 10. The arrangement of the three sub-pixel units 100 in the pixel unit 10 can also be other arrangements such as a diagonal arrangement, depending on the actual driving requirements.

[0030] Specifically, and exemplarily, in existing display panels, the sub-pixel unit includes only one light-emitting module, and the light-emitting module is generally square. The light-emitting modules in the display panel are distributed vertically and horizontally; therefore, only vertical and horizontal stretching can be achieved. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in this application, the top surface of the sub-pixel unit 100 has a rhombus-shaped outline. The sub-pixel unit 100 includes four display light-emitting modules 1001 and one first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002. The top surface of the display light-emitting modules 1001 is trapezoidal, and the top surface of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 is rhombus-shaped. The four display light-emitting modules 1001 are respectively disposed on the upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right sides of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002. The display light-emitting modules 1001 on the upper left and lower left sides of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 are arranged vertically. The display light-emitting modules 1001 on the upper right and lower right sides of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 are also arranged vertically. The display light-emitting modules 1001 on the upper left and upper right sides of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 are arranged vertically. The display light-emitting modules 1001 are arranged horizontally. The lower left and lower right display light-emitting modules 1001 of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 are arranged horizontally. The upper left, upper right, and lower right display light-emitting modules 1001, upper right, and lower left display light-emitting modules 1002 are arranged diagonally. Therefore, the display panel of this application can achieve not only vertical and horizontal stretching, but also diagonal stretching. When the display panel of this application is stretched vertically, horizontally, and diagonally simultaneously, the stretching effect is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the sub-pixel unit 100 presents an overall star-shaped effect.

[0031] Specifically, the sub-pixel units in the prior art are square, while the sub-pixel units in this application are rhomboid. Compared to the square sub-pixel units in the prior art, the rhomboid sub-pixel units in this application have better geometric adaptability when conforming to irregular surfaces such as human body curves and bag surfaces. Although the display panels in the prior art can be bent, their sub-pixel unit arrays are usually still based on a rectangular grid design. When conforming to complex curved surfaces (such as human shoulders, elbows, and bag corners), the rectangular grid will produce geometric mismatch, resulting in uneven spacing between sub-pixel units across the curved surface, which in turn causes local stress concentration or display distortion. In contrast, the rhomboid sub-pixel unit array in this application, when stretched in any direction, distributes strain energy more evenly to the horizontal and vertical components. From a mathematical perspective, Analysis shows that the projection of the strain tensor of the rhombic mesh onto the main direction at 45° is consistent with the main direction. Therefore, regardless of the stretching direction, the shape change rate of the sub-pixel unit is relatively uniform. This means that when fitting a curved surface, the rhombic pixels can maintain a relatively consistent shape ratio regardless of the surface normal, thereby reducing display distortion. In addition, the rhombic sub-pixel unit is naturally adapted to oblique stretching. Its edge direction is at 45° with the horizontal / vertical direction, and it itself has an oblique geometric axis. When subjected to oblique tension (such as the diagonal strain generated by the twisting of an arm), the rhombic unit can deform directly along its diagonal direction, rather than responding indirectly through a stepped manner like the rectangular mesh. This direct adaptation makes the strain transmission path shorter and more efficient, thereby reducing local stress concentration and improving the service life of the display panel.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the driving circuit is used to drive multiple different display light-emitting module combinations of the sub-pixel unit to emit light in turn in a series of consecutive frame cycles when the display panel is not in the stretched state and is in the display period. Each frame cycle in the series of frame cycles corresponds to one display light-emitting module combination of the sub-pixel unit. Each display light-emitting module combination consists of a preset number of display light-emitting modules out of the four display light-emitting modules in the sub-pixel unit. The preset number is less than four.

[0033] Specifically, compared to driving all display light-emitting modules in a sub-pixel unit to emit light simultaneously in each frame cycle, in this application, for a sub-pixel unit, different combinations of display light-emitting modules in the sub-pixel unit are driven to emit light in different frame cycles over multiple consecutive frame cycles. This means that each display light-emitting module in the sub-pixel unit does not need to emit light in every frame cycle, but only in some frame cycles, thereby reducing the power consumption of the display light-emitting modules in the sub-pixel unit and thus improving the lifespan of the display light-emitting modules in the sub-pixel unit.

[0034] Specifically, for example, a series of consecutive frame cycles consists of the first, second, third, and fourth frames of a display period, such as... Figure 2 As shown, for each sub-pixel unit, one implementation method for driving multiple different display light-emitting modules of the sub-pixel unit to emit light in turn during multiple consecutive frame cycles is as follows: For each sub-pixel unit 100, in the first frame, the display light-emitting module 1001 on the lower left side of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 is driven to emit light; in the second frame, the display light-emitting module 1001 on the upper left side of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 is driven to emit light; in the third frame, the display light-emitting module 1001 on the upper right side of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 is driven to emit light; in the fourth frame, the display light-emitting module 1001 on the lower right side of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 is driven to emit light. For example, the first to fourth frames of the display period constitute a cyclical frame cycle sequence. Therefore, in the fifth frame, the display light-emitting module 1001 on the lower left side of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 is driven to emit light; in the sixth frame, the display light-emitting module 1001 on the upper left side of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 is driven to emit light, and so on. For example, as shown...

[0041] The aforementioned driving circuit 2 is used for: When the display panel is not in the stretched state and is in the display period, for each sub-pixel unit 100, in each of the consecutive multiple frame cycles, a scan signal is output to the first node Lout of the corresponding row control circuit 13, and a data voltage signal is output to the second node Dout of the corresponding column control circuit 14.

When an enable signal is output to the controlled terminal of the first switch module 130 corresponding to the first scan line L1 connected to the display light-emitting module combination, an enable signal is output to the controlled terminal of the third switch module 140 corresponding to the first data line D1 connected to the display light-emitting module combination. Specifically, each frame period within the aforementioned consecutive multiple frame periods corresponds to a display light-emitting module combination of the aforementioned sub-pixel unit, and the display light-emitting module combinations corresponding to different frame periods within the aforementioned consecutive multiple frame periods are different.

[0042] Specifically, outputting an enable signal to the controlled terminal of the first switch module corresponding to the first scan line connected to each display light-emitting module combination of the aforementioned sub-pixel unit means outputting an enable signal to the controlled terminal of the first switch module corresponding to the first scan line connected to all the display light-emitting modules of each display light-emitting module combination of the aforementioned sub-pixel unit.

[0043] Specifically, outputting an enable signal to the controlled terminal of the third switch module corresponding to the first data line connected to the above-mentioned display light-emitting module assembly means outputting an enable signal to the controlled terminal of the third switch module corresponding to the first data line connected to all the display light-emitting modules in the above-mentioned display light-emitting module assembly.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the driving circuit 2 includes a gate driving circuit 20 and a source driving circuit 21. When the display panel is not in the stretched state and is in the display period, for each sub-pixel unit 100, in each of the consecutive multiple frame cycles, the gate driving circuit 20 outputs a scan signal to the first node Lout of the row control circuit 13 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100 and outputs a data voltage signal to the second node Dout of the column control circuit 14 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100. In the consecutive multiple frame cycles, the gate driving circuit 20 outputs a scan signal to the sub-pixel unit 100 in turn, with the frame cycle as the unit. The first switch module 130 corresponding to the first scan line L1 connected to each display light-emitting module combination of unit 100 outputs an enable signal to the controlled terminal of the first switch module 130, so that the first scan line L1 connected to the display light-emitting module combination outputs a scan signal. The source drive circuit 21 is used to output an enable signal to the controlled terminal of the third switch module 140 corresponding to the first data line D1 connected to the display light-emitting module combination when it outputs an enable signal to the controlled terminal of the first switch module 130 corresponding to the first scan line L1 connected to the display light-emitting module combination, so that the first data line D1 connected to the display light-emitting module combination outputs a data voltage signal.

[0045] Specifically, the first thin-film transistor T1 of the first switch module 130 and the third thin-film transistor M1 of the third switch module 140 are both N-type thin-film transistors. Therefore, the turn-on signal is a high-level signal.

[0046] When the display panel is in the stretched state and during the display period, for each sub-pixel unit 100, in each frame period, a scan signal is output to the first node Lout in the row control circuit 13 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100, a data voltage signal is output to the second node Dout in the column control circuit 14 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100, an enable signal is output to the controlled terminals of the two first switch modules 130 and the controlled terminal of the second switch module 131 in the row control circuit 13 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100, and an enable signal is output to the controlled terminals of the two third switch modules 140 and the controlled terminal of the fourth switch module 141 in the column control circuit 14 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the driving circuit 2 includes a gate driving circuit 20 and a source driving circuit 21. When the display panel is in a stretched state and during a display period, for each sub-pixel unit 100, in each frame period, the gate driving circuit 20 outputs a scan signal to the first node Lout in the row control circuit 13 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100, and the source driving circuit 21 outputs a data voltage signal to the second node Dout in the column control circuit 14 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100. The gate driving circuit 20 also outputs a data voltage signal to the controlled terminals of the two first switch modules 130 and the second switch module 130 in the row control circuit 13 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100. The controlled terminal of the switch module 131 outputs an enable signal. The source drive circuit 21 is used to output enable signals to the controlled terminals of the two third switch modules 140 and the controlled terminal of the fourth switch module 141 in the column control circuit 14 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100, so that the two first scan lines L1 and the second scan line L2 in the scan line group 11 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100 output scan signals, and the two first data lines D1 and the second data lines D2 in the data line group 12 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100 output data voltage signals to drive all the display light-emitting modules 1001 and the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 in the sub-pixel unit 100 to emit light.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a corresponding row control circuit 13 is set for each scan line group 11. The gate drive circuit 20 only needs to output a scan signal to the first node Lout in the row control circuit 13. By controlling whether the two first switch modules 130 and the second switch module 131 in the row control circuit 13 are turned on, the scan signal of the first node Lout is controlled to be output to the two first scan lines L1 and the second scan line L2 in the scan line group 11. This eliminates the need for the gate drive circuit 20 to output scan signals to the two first scan lines L1 and the second scan line L2 in the scan line group 11 separately, reducing the number of scan signal output channels of the gate drive circuit 20 and lowering the driving cost.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a corresponding column control circuit 14 is set for each data line group 12. The source drive circuit 21 only needs to output a data voltage signal to the second node Dout in the column control circuit 14. By controlling whether the two third switch modules 140 and the fourth switch module 141 in the column control circuit 14 are turned on, the data voltage signal of the second node Dout is controlled to be output to the two first data lines D1 and the second data line D2 in the data line group 12. This eliminates the need for the source drive circuit 21 to output data voltage signals to the two first data lines D1 and the second data line D2 in the data line group 12 separately, reducing the number of data voltage signal output channels of the source drive circuit 21 and lowering the driving cost.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the scan line group 11 includes two first scan lines L1 and a second scan line L2. One of the first scan lines L1 in the scan line group 11 is connected to the upper left and upper right display light-emitting modules in the corresponding sub-pixel unit 100. The other first scan line L1 in the scan line group 11 is connected to the lower left and lower right display light-emitting modules in the corresponding sub-pixel unit 100.

The light-emitting module and the lower left display light-emitting module are connected. Another first data line D1 in the data line group 12 is connected to the upper right and lower right display light-emitting modules in the corresponding sub-pixel unit 100. In this connection method, the number of display light-emitting modules in the display light-emitting module combination of the sub-pixel unit 100 can only be one or two. In this case, in an optional real-time mode, driving each display light-emitting module combination of the sub-pixel unit to emit light in turn during the aforementioned consecutive multiple frame periods can be implemented as follows: the aforementioned consecutive multiple frame periods include: the first frame, the second frame, the third frame, and the fourth frame, such as...

[0053] As shown in Figure 7(c), Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the scan line group 11 further includes two third scan lines L3, and the data line group 12 further includes two third data lines D3. Both third scan lines L3 in the scan line group 11 are connected to the first terminal of the second switch module 131 in the corresponding row control circuit 13. One third scan line L3 in the scan line group 11 is connected to the second brightness compensation light-emitting module 1003 between the upper left and upper right display light-emitting modules in the corresponding sub-pixel unit 100. The other third scan line L3 in the scan line group 11 is connected to the lower left and lower right display light-emitting modules in the corresponding sub-pixel unit 100. The second brightness compensation light-emitting module 1003 is connected between the light-emitting modules. The two third data lines D3 in the data line group 12 are both connected to the first end of the fourth switch module 141 in the corresponding column control circuit 14. One of the second data lines in the data line group 12 is connected to the second brightness compensation light-emitting module 1003 between the upper left and lower left light-emitting modules in the corresponding sub-pixel unit 100. The other third data line D3 in the data line group 12 is connected to the second brightness compensation light-emitting module 1003 between the upper right and lower right light-emitting modules in the corresponding sub-pixel unit 100.

[0054] Specifically, as shown in Figure 7(c), Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the driving circuit 2 includes a gate driving circuit 20 and a source driving circuit 21. When the display panel is in a stretched state and during a display period, for each sub-pixel unit 100, in each frame period, the gate driving circuit 20 outputs a scan signal to the first node Lout in the row control circuit 13 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100, and the source driving circuit 21 outputs a data voltage signal to the second node Dout in the column control circuit 14 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100. The gate driving circuit 20 also outputs an enable signal to the controlled terminals of the two first switch modules 130 and the controlled terminal of the second switch module 131 in the row control circuit 13 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100. 1 is used to output an enable signal to the controlled terminals of the two third switch modules 140 and the controlled terminal of the fourth switch module 141 in the column control circuit 14 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100, so that the two first scan lines L1, the second scan line L2 and the two third scan lines L3 in the scan line group 11 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100 output scan signals, and the two first data lines D1, the second data lines D2 and the two third data lines D3 in the data line group 12 corresponding to the sub-pixel unit 100 output data voltage signals, so as to drive all the display light-emitting modules 1001, the first brightness compensation light-emitting module 1002 and the second brightness compensation light-emitting module 1003 in the sub-pixel unit 100 to emit light, so as to further reduce the brightness attenuation caused by stretching.

[0055] Specifically, as shown in Figure 7(c), when the display panel is in a stretched state and during the display period, the second brightness compensation light-emitting module 1003 between two adjacent display light-emitting modules 1001 in the sub-pixel unit 100 is exposed, driving the second brightness compensation light-emitting module 1003 to emit light, filling the gap area between the two display light-emitting modules 1001, and increasing the effective display area of ​​the display panel. In Figures 7(a), 7(b), and 7(c), R represents red and W represents white. The display light-emitting module 1001 marked with R emits red light, and the second brightness compensation light-emitting module 1003 marked with W emits white light. For example, as shown in Figures 7(a), 7(b), and 7(c), the color of the second brightness compensation light-emitting module 1003 can be white. When the display panel is in a stretched state and during the display period, the second brightness compensation light-emitting module 1003 is driven to emit light. Module 1003 emits white light. The color of the second brightness compensation light-emitting module 1003 can also be the same as the color of the two adjacent display light-emitting modules 1001. When the display panel is in a stretched state and during the display period, the second brightness compensation light-emitting module 1003 is driven to emit red light. Compared to the second brightness compensation light-emitting module 1003 being the same as the color of the two adjacent display light-emitting modules 1001, the second brightness compensation light-emitting module 1003 has a higher luminous efficiency when its color is white. Compared to the second brightness compensation light-emitting module 1003 being white, the second brightness compensation light-emitting module 1003 being the same as the color of the two adjacent display light-emitting modules 1001 avoids the introduction of white stray light into the sub-pixel units 100, and can ensure the color balance of different sub-pixel units 100 of the compensated display panel.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, the driving circuit is used to adjust the brightness of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module of the curved region based on the curvature of the curved region of the display panel, wherein the brightness of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module of the curved region is positively correlated with the curvature of the curved region.

[0057] Specifically, when the display panel is in a stretched state, for example, the display panel is attached to a curved surface, forming multiple curved areas with different curvatures on the display panel. The optical performance of these curved areas changes significantly. The curved areas reflect more ambient light into the eyes, the contrast of the image in the curved areas is reduced, and the image in the curved areas is darker and blurrier in the eyes of the human eye. The human eye has difficulty perceiving the undulations of the curved surface, and the stereoscopic vision of the display panel is poor. At this time, the first brightness compensation light-emitting module of the curved area is driven to emit light to improve the brightness of the curved area, reduce the ambient light reflected into the eyes, and improve the contrast of the image in the curved area. Moreover, the brightness of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module is greater for the curved area with the largest curvature, and the brightness of the first brightness compensation light-emitting module gradually decreases for the curved areas on both sides of the curved area with the largest curvature, forming brightness contour lines. This is equivalent to actively drawing light and shadow on the curved surface, making the three-dimensional shape of the display panel visually magnified, so that the human eye can clearly perceive the undulations of the curved surface of the display panel.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, when the display panel is not in the stretched state and displays a diagonal image, the frame refresh frequency of the consecutive multiple frame cycles is greater than the critical fusion frequency.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the sub-pixel unit 100 is rhomboid in shape. There are not only horizontal and vertical gaps between the sub-pixel units 100, but also diagonal gaps, which provides a geometric advantage for the smooth display of diagonal lines. In Figure 10(a), a square represents a sub-pixel unit. As shown in Figure 10(a), in the prior art, when displaying a diagonal image, multiple square sub-pixel units along the arrow direction emit light to approximate the diagonal image. Since the sub-pixel unit is square, when displaying a diagonal image, the diagonal line can only approximate the diagonal image through the horizontal and vertical steps of the sub-pixel unit. Therefore, the diagonal image will produce obvious jagged edges. In this application, in Figure 10(b), a rhombus represents a sub-pixel unit. As shown in Figure 10(a), when displaying a diagonal image, multiple rhomboid sub-pixel units along the arrow direction emit light to display the diagonal image. Since the sub-pixel unit in this application is rhomboid, the oblique side of the sub-pixel unit itself is closer to the diagonal direction, which can reduce the jagged edges of the diagonal image at the source.

[0060] Specifically, when the display panel is not in the stretched state and displays a diagonal image, for each sub-pixel unit, in multiple consecutive frame cycles, the multiple different display light-emitting modules of the sub-pixel unit are driven to emit light in turn, with each frame cycle as a unit. Furthermore, the frame refresh frequency of these multiple consecutive frame cycles is greater than the critical fusion frequency. Here, the frame refresh frequency of the multiple frame cycles refers to the switching frequency of the display light-emitting module combinations, and the critical fusion frequency is the human eye's visual critical flicker fusion frequency. Since the frame refresh frequency of these multiple consecutive frame cycles is greater than the critical fusion frequency, the human eye cannot perceive the light switching changes of different display light-emitting module combinations of the same sub-pixel unit. Consequently, the human eye cannot distinguish the visual center generated by the light of different display light-emitting module combinations of the same sub-pixel unit. The human eye can only perceive the visual center generated by the superposition of the light of each display light-emitting module combination corresponding to multiple frame cycles of the same sub-pixel unit. For example, in Figure 10(c), R represents red, B represents blue, and G represents green. As shown in Figure 10(c), in the first frame, the upper right and lower right display light-emitting modules in the middle sub-pixel unit 100 are driven to emit light. In the second frame, the upper left and upper right display light-emitting modules in the middle sub-pixel unit 100 emit light. In the third frame, the upper left and lower left display light-emitting modules in the middle sub-pixel unit 100 emit light. In the fourth frame, the lower left and lower right display light-emitting modules in the middle sub-pixel unit 100 emit light. The four pentagrams represent the visual center generated by the combined light from the display light-emitting modules in the middle sub-pixel unit 100 corresponding to the first frame, and the display light-emitting module in the middle sub-pixel unit 100 corresponding to the second frame, respectively. The visual center generated by the combined light, the visual center generated by the combined light of the display light-emitting module corresponding to the third frame in the middle sub-pixel unit 100, and the visual center generated by the combined light of the display light-emitting module corresponding to the fourth frame in the middle sub-pixel unit 100 are superimposed and located at the exact center of the middle sub-pixel unit 100. Therefore, the exact center of the sub-pixel unit 100 in the diagonal direction is close to the diagonal image, so that the visual center of each sub-pixel unit 100 is located on the diagonal image, thereby further reducing the jaggedness of the diagonal image.
