Abstract

According to the thickness of the film layer below the privacy opening, the application sets the privacy opening with a corresponding width to correspondingly reduce the light-emitting angle and the lateral light-emitting brightness, and reduce the difference between the light-emitting angle and the lateral light-emitting brightness of the privacy sub-pixel in the edge display area and the center display area in the privacy mode.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application. The original application has the application number 202610566829.0 and the original application date is April 27, 2026. The entire contents of the original application are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of display technology, and more particularly to a display panel and display device. Background Technology

[0003] The active privacy protection design principle of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays is as follows: when designing pixels, light-emitting pixels are divided into privacy pixels and shared pixels. The privacy pixels adopt a unique design that makes their brightness decay very quickly at wide viewing angles.

[0004] Specifically, a dual-layer black matrix is ​​used to achieve differentiated light blocking. The bottom black matrix layer determines the light output of the shared pixels, while in the privacy area, a padding layer and a top black matrix layer are added above the bottom black matrix layer. The padding layer raises the top black matrix layer, thus blocking the light output of the privacy pixels at small angles, while the light output at large angles is blocked by the bottom black matrix layer. This allows the brightness attenuation of the privacy pixels to decrease rapidly as the viewing angle increases, achieving the privacy effect.

[0005] However, due to the limitations of existing encapsulation processes, the thickness of the organic encapsulation layer located at the display edge is less than that located at the display center. This results in the top black matrix layer at the display edge being lower than that at the display center. Because the top black matrix layer at the display edge is lower, when observing the privacy pixel at a certain angle, the privacy effect at the display center is better and the brightness is lower, while the privacy effect at the display edge is worse and the brightness is higher. This manifests as poor privacy effect and higher brightness at the display edge, affecting both the privacy effect and the display performance. Summary of the Invention

[0069] From the central display area A1 toward the non-display area NDA of the display panel 100, the thickness of the encapsulation layer 103 located in the edge display area A2 decreases, the width k1 of the privacy opening 06a located in the edge display area A2 shows a decreasing trend, and the privacy opening 06a located in the same privacy pixel U1 has the same width.

[0070] It is understood that, in the display panel 100 of this application embodiment, since the thickness of the encapsulation layer 103 decreases from the central display area A1 to the non-display area NDA, the width k1 of the privacy opening 06a in the same direction decreases accordingly, thereby reducing the light emission angle and lateral light emission brightness. In privacy mode, this reduces the difference in light emission angle and lateral light emission brightness between the privacy sub-pixels P1 in the edge display area A2 and the central display area A1. Furthermore, the privacy openings located in the same privacy pixel have the same width to reduce the risk of color shift in privacy mode.

[0071] It should be noted that the width of the aforementioned privacy opening 06a is the width in the first direction F1. From the center display area A1 towards the non-display area NDA of the display panel 100, the width k1 of the privacy opening 06a located in the edge display area A2 shows a decreasing trend. It is possible that the width k1 of all the privacy openings 06a in the edge display area A2 exhibits an overall decreasing trend.

[0072] For example, in the direction from the central display area A1 towards the non-display area NDA of the display panel 100, the edge display area A2 can be divided into multiple sub-areas, each sub-area having multiple privacy openings 06a. All privacy openings 06a within the same sub-area have the same width. In this case, among any two adjacent sub-areas, the one furthest from the central display area A1 has a smaller privacy opening 06a. For example, in the direction from the central display area A1 towards the non-display area NDA of the display panel 100, each sub-area can have 1 to 5 privacy pixels U1. The number of privacy pixels U1 between sub-areas can be different or the same, and the more privacy pixels U1 a sub-area has, the wider its width.

[0073] Optionally, the number of privacy pixels U1 in the sub-region decreases from the central display area A1 toward the non-display area NDA of the display panel 100. It is understood that the thickness of the encapsulation layer 103 decreases more significantly closer to the edge, resulting in a larger step difference. Therefore, the sub-regions closer to the edge are narrower to improve the uniformity of compensation for the privacy opening 06a, thereby improving display uniformity.

[0074] In some embodiments, the privacy opening 06a further from the central display area A1 may be smaller in width than the one in any two adjacent privacy openings 06a in the edge display area A2, in the direction from the central display area A1 toward the non-display area NDA of the display panel 100.

[0075] The reduction in the width of the privacy opening 06a in the edge display area A2 is positively correlated with the thickness of the film layer below the second light-shielding layer 106. That is, the closer the privacy sub-pixel P1 or privacy pixel U1 is to the edge of the edge display area A2, the smaller the thickness of the film layer below the second light-shielding layer 106, the greater the reduction compensation required for the privacy opening 06a, and the smaller the width of the privacy opening 06a.

[0076] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, in the display panel 100 at a 30-degree viewing angle, the privacy pixel U1 located in the central display area A1 has a first luminous intensity, and the privacy pixel U1 located in the edge display area A2 has a second luminous intensity, the second luminous intensity being between 80% and 120% of the first luminous intensity. For example, the second luminous intensity is 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100%, 105%, 110%, 115%, or 120% of the first luminous intensity.

[0077] In the display panel 100 at a 45-degree viewing angle, the privacy pixel U1 located in the central display area A1 has a third luminous intensity, and the privacy pixel U1 located in the edge display area A2 has a fourth luminous intensity, wherein the fourth luminous intensity is between 90% and 150% of the third luminous intensity. For example, the fourth luminous intensity is 90%, 95%, 100%, 105%, 110%, 115%, 120%, 125%, 130%, 135%, 140%, 145%, or 150% of the third luminous intensity.

[0078] It is understood that in this embodiment, the width of the privacy opening 06a in the edge display area A2 is reduced by a corresponding decrease compensation to reduce the lateral light emission brightness of the edge display area A2. For example, compared to the comparison before compensation, at a 30-degree viewing angle, the brightness of the outermost privacy pixel U1 is 140%, and at a 45-degree viewing angle, it is 400%. After the decrease compensation, the privacy opening 06a corresponding to the privacy pixel U1 in this embodiment can significantly reduce the light emission brightness of the center display area A1 at 30-degree and 45-degree viewing angles, thereby improving the uniformity of light emission.

[0079] Secondly, in order to avoid light leakage from a large angle, the smaller the width of the privacy opening 06a, the larger the width of the privacy part 061 should be.

[0080] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the second light-shielding layer 106 includes a plurality of privacy shields 061, which are spaced apart along a first direction F1 and extend along a second direction F2 intersecting the first direction F1. In the display panel 100 viewed from above, a privacy sub-pixel P1 is disposed between two adjacent privacy shields 061 in the first direction F1. The side of two adjacent privacy shields 061 near the privacy sub-pixel P1 defines a sidewall as a privacy opening 06a.

[0081] The width of the privacy screen 061 located in the edge display area A2 increases in the direction from the central display area A1 toward the non-display area NDA of the display panel 100.

[0082] Understandably, as the width of the privacy opening 06a decreases, the width of the privacy part 061 increases accordingly, which can avoid the problem of light leakage from a large angle.

[0083] Optionally, in order to prevent light leakage from the privacy pixel U1 without affecting the wide-angle light output of the shared pixel U2, the width of the privacy part 061 is selected to be between 6 micrometers and 8 micrometers, for example, it can be 6 micrometers, 7 micrometers or 8 micrometers.

[0084] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the first light-shielding layer 104 is provided with a plurality of first openings 04a. In the thickness direction of the display panel 100, a first opening 04a is aligned with a privacy opening 06a. The first light-shielding layer 104 includes a plurality of first light-shielding portions 041, which are spaced apart along a first direction F1 and extend along a second direction F2. In the first direction F1, the side of two adjacent first light-shielding portions 041 near the privacy sub-pixel P1 defines a sidewall of the first opening 04a.

[0085] In the edge display area A2 from a top-down view, a privacy screen 061 overlaps with a first light-shielding part 041. In the overlapping privacy screen 061 and the first light-shielding part 041, the distance L from the edge of the privacy screen 061 away from the privacy sub-pixel P1 to the edge of the first light-shielding part 041 near the privacy sub-pixel P1 is between 5.7 micrometers and 8.7 micrometers.

[0086] Understandably, to compensate for the reduction in the width of the privacy opening 06a, it is necessary to shrink the privacy opening 06a. To prevent the privacy unit 061 from affecting the light emission of the shared pixel U2, the side of the privacy unit 061 closest to the shared pixel U2 (the side furthest from the privacy pixel U1) remains stationary, while the side closest to the privacy sub-pixel P1 shrinks inward. The shrinkage value is determined by the thickness of the underlying film. Based on this, the distance L is limited to between 5.7 micrometers and 8.7 micrometers to ensure that the large-angle light emission of the privacy sub-pixel P1 does not leak from the side of the privacy unit 061 closest to the shared pixel U2.

[0087] Optionally, the distance L from the edge of the privacy shield 061 away from the privacy sub-pixel P1 to the edge of the first light-shielding part 041 near the privacy sub-pixel P1 can be 5.7 μm, 5.8 μm, 5.9 μm, 6 μm, 6.1 μm, 6.2 μm, 6.3 μm, 6.4 μm, 6.5 μm, 6.6 μm, 6.7 μm, 6.8 μm, 6.9 μm, 7 μm, 7.1 μm, 7.2 μm, 7.3 μm, 7.4 μm, 7.5 μm, 7.6 μm, 7.7 μm, 7.8 μm, 7.9 μm, 8 μm, 8.1 μm, 8.2 μm, 8.3 μm, 8.4 μm, 8.5 μm, 8.6 μm, or 8.7 μm.

[0088] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the display panel 100 includes a pixel definition layer 101, which has a first pixel opening S1. A privacy pixel P1 is disposed within the first pixel opening S1.

[0089] In the edge display area A2 from a top-down view, the sidewall of the privacy opening 06a with the smallest width among all privacy openings 06a is flush with the sidewall of the first pixel opening S1.

[0090] That is, in some embodiments of this application, the edge display area A2 includes a gradient sub-area AJ1 and a non-gradient sub-area AJ2, with the non-gradient sub-area AJ2 located on the side of the gradient sub-area AJ1 away from the central display area A1. Specifically, in the direction from the central display area A1 toward the non-display area NDA of the display panel 100, the width of the privacy opening 06a in the gradient sub-area AJ1 decreases, the width of the privacy opening 06a in the non-gradient sub-area AJ2 is smaller than the width of the privacy opening 06a in the gradient sub-area AJ1, and all privacy openings 06a in the non-gradient sub-area AJ2 have the same width.

[0091] It is understood that in the embodiment of this application, the sidewall of the privacy opening 06a with the smallest width among all privacy openings 06a in the edge display area A2 is flush with the sidewall of the first pixel opening S1. That is, the minimum width of the privacy opening 06a in the edge display area A2 is equal to the width of the corresponding first pixel opening S1, so as to prevent the sidewall of the privacy opening 06a from intruding into the first pixel opening S1 and to prevent affecting the overall light output brightness of the privacy sub-pixel P1.

[0092] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, in the thickness direction of the display panel 100, the height of the surface of the spacer layer 105 away from the light-emitting pixel layer 102 to the surface of the encapsulation layer 103 away from the light-emitting pixel layer 102 gradually decreases along the direction from the central display area A1 to the edge display area A2.

[0093] In the central display area A1, the height from the surface of the spacer layer 105 away from the light-emitting pixel layer 102 to the surface of the encapsulation layer 103 away from the light-emitting pixel layer 102 is a first height V1. In the edge display area A2, the height from the surface of the spacer layer 105 away from the light-emitting pixel layer 102 to the surface of the encapsulation layer 103 away from the light-emitting pixel layer 102 is a second height V2. The second height V2 is less than the first height V1.

[0094] The difference between the first height V1 and the second height V2 has a first set range, which is between 2.5 micrometers and 2.9 micrometers. The edge display area A2 is located in the area of ​​the first set range, and the sidewall of the privacy opening 06a is flush with the sidewall of the first pixel opening S1.

[0095] Optionally, the first set range can be 2.5 micrometers, 2.6 micrometers, 2.7 micrometers, 2.8 micrometers or 2.9 micrometers.

[0096] It is understandable that when the thickness of the second light-shielding layer 106 below the edge display area A2 is lower than the thickness of the film below the center display area A1 by a height value within the first set range, the width of the corresponding privacy opening 06a is set to be equal to the width of the first pixel opening S1 aligned with it, so as to improve the brightness uniformity of the side-emitting light.

[0097] Please refer to Figure 6a and Figure 6b The 15th pixel from the edge of the edge display area A2 is the privacy pixel U1. The privacy opening 06a of the 15th privacy pixel U1 is flush with the opening S1 of the first pixel. At this time, its brightness at both the 30-degree and 45-degree viewing angles is close to the brightness of the privacy pixel U1 in the center display area A1.

[0098] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the difference between the first height V1 and the second height V2 has a second set range, which is greater than the maximum value of the first set range. The edge display area A2 is located in the area of ​​the second set range, and the sidewall of the privacy opening 06a is flush with the sidewall of the first pixel opening S1.

[0099] It is understandable that when the height difference between the first height V1 and the second height V2 is greater than the first set range, the privacy opening 06a in the second set range area is still selected so that the side wall of the privacy opening 06a is flush with the side wall of the first pixel opening S1, in order to reduce the impact on the front light output of the privacy pixel U1.

[0100] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the first light-shielding layer 104 is provided with a plurality of first openings 04a, and in the thickness direction of the display panel 100, one first opening 04a is aligned with a privacy opening 06a. From the central display area A1 to the non-display area NDA of the display panel 100, the width k2 of the first opening 04a located in the edge display area A2 decreases.

[0101] It is understood that, in the display panel 100 of this application embodiment, the thickness of the encapsulation layer 103 decreases from the central display area A1 to the non-display area NDA. Therefore, the width k2 of the first opening 04a in the same direction has a decreasing trend, so as to correspondingly reduce the light emission angle and lateral light emission brightness. In the privacy mode, the difference in light emission angle and lateral light emission brightness of the privacy sub-pixel P1 in the edge display area A2 and the central display area A1 is reduced, thereby improving display uniformity.

[0102] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, in the direction from the central display area A1 to the non-display area NDA of the display panel 100, in the aligned first opening 04a and privacy opening 06a, the decrease in width of the first opening 04a is the same as the decrease in width of the privacy opening 06a.

[0103] Understandably, the aligned first opening 04a and the privacy opening 06a have the same downward amplitude, making their indentation values ​​the same, in order to reduce the risk of light leakage from the privacy pixel U1.

[0104] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the light-emitting pixel layer 102 includes a shared pixel U2, and the shared pixel U2 includes a plurality of shared sub-pixels P2. The first light-shielding layer 104 is provided with a plurality of second openings O4b. In the thickness direction of the display panel 100, one second opening O4b corresponds to one shared sub-pixel P2.

[0105] From the central display area A1 toward the non-display area NDA of the display panel 100, the width of the second opening 04b located in the edge display area A2 decreases.

[0106] Optionally, the pixel definition layer 101 is provided with a second pixel opening S2, and the shared sub-pixel P2 is located within the second pixel opening S2.

[0107] It is understood that, in the display panel 100 of this application embodiment, since the thickness of the encapsulation layer 103 decreases from the central display area A1 to the non-display area NDA, the width k3 of the second opening 04b in the same direction has a decreasing trend, so as to correspondingly reduce the light emission angle and lateral light emission brightness. In the shared mode, the difference in light emission angle and lateral light emission brightness between the shared sub-pixel P2 in the edge display area A2 and the central display area A1 is reduced, thereby improving display uniformity.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of another partial structure of the edge display area A2 and the center display area A1 in the display panel 100 provided in an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 5 In this application, the embodiments will describe the parts that differ from the above embodiments in order to avoid redundant descriptions.

[0109] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the display panel 100 includes a pixel definition layer 101, which has a first pixel opening S1. A privacy pixel P1 is disposed within the first pixel opening S1.

[0110] In the edge display area A2 from a top-down perspective, the sidewall of the privacy opening 06a near the center display area A1 is located outside the first pixel opening S1, while the sidewall of the privacy opening 06a away from the center display area A1 is located inside the first pixel opening S1.

[0111] It is understandable that the reduction compensation of the privacy opening 06a in the edge display area A2 is positively correlated with the reduction of the film thickness below the second light-shielding layer 106. The thinner the film thickness below the second light-shielding layer 106, the greater the reduction compensation (shrinkage value) required for the width of the privacy opening 06a in the edge display area A2. Therefore, when the reduction of the film thickness below the second light-shielding layer 106 exceeds the first set range, the sidewall of the privacy opening 06a needs to invade the first pixel opening S1. The thinner the thickness below the second light-shielding layer 106, the more it invades.

[0112] Optionally, in some embodiments of this application, the difference between the first height V1 and the second height V2 has a second set range, which is greater than the maximum value of the first set range. The edge display area A2 is located in the area of ​​the second set range, the sidewall of the privacy opening 06a is located within the first pixel opening S1, and the width of the privacy opening 06a is smaller than the width of the first pixel opening S1.

[0113] It is understandable that when the edge display area A2 has a lower terrain range, such as the area corresponding to the second set range, the privacy opening 06a in the area corresponding to the second set range is further recessed to invade the first pixel opening S1. The thinner the thickness of the second light-shielding layer 106 below, the more it invades, so as to improve the light emission uniformity of the edge display area A2 under the side view.

[0114] Among them, can be combined Figure 6a and Figure 6b ,exist Figure 6a and Figure 6bIn the comparative display panel 100, the width of the privacy opening 06a in the edge display area A2 is not compensated for. In Example 1 (corresponding to...) Figure 3 In the display panel 100 of the embodiment 2, the width of the privacy opening 06a of the edge display area A2 is reduced to compensate for the decrease, but the sidewall of the smallest privacy opening 06a is flush with the sidewall of the corresponding first pixel opening S1. Figure 5 In the display panel 100, the width of the privacy opening 06a of the edge display area A2 strictly follows the rule that the thinner the film thickness below the second light-shielding layer 106, the greater the descent compensation of the privacy opening 06a. Therefore, part of the sidewall of the privacy opening 06a invades the first pixel opening S1.

[0115] It should be noted that the comparative example, Example 1 and Example 2 all correspond to the second edge region A22. Figure 6a The luminance Lum% on the vertical axis refers to the percentage of the luminance of the privacy pixel U1 in the edge display area A2 and the luminance of the privacy pixel U1 in the center display area A1 at a 30-degree viewing angle. Figure 6b The luminance Lum% on the vertical axis refers to the percentage of the luminance of the privacy pixel U1 in the edge display area A2 and the luminance of the privacy pixel U1 in the center display area A1 at a 45-degree viewing angle.

[0116] according to Figure 6a and Figure 6b It can be seen that Comparative Example 2 has better brightness uniformity at 30-degree and 45-degree viewing angles than Example 1.

[0117] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the display device 1000 provided in an embodiment of this application. According to a second aspect of this application, a display device 1000 is provided, which includes a display panel 100 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0118] It should be noted that the structure of the display panel 100 of the display device 1000 provided in this application embodiment is the same as the structure of the display panel 100 provided in the above embodiments. For details, please refer to... Figures 1 to 5 Therefore, the relevant explanations will not be repeated here.

[0119] Display device 1000 can be at least one of the following: smartphone, tablet, mobile phone, video phone, e-book reader, desktop computer, laptop, netbook, workstation, server, personal digital assistant, portable media player, MP3 player, television, mobile medical device, camera, game console, digital camera, car navigation system, in-vehicle display screen, electronic billboard, ATM, or wearable device, VR device, AR device.

[0120] In the display device 1000 of this application embodiment, the light-emitting pixel layer 102 includes a privacy pixel U1, the privacy pixel U1 includes a plurality of privacy sub-pixels P1, the encapsulation layer 103 covers the light-emitting side of the light-emitting pixel layer 102, the first light-shielding layer 104 is disposed on the side of the encapsulation layer 103 away from the light-emitting pixel layer 102, and the spacer layer 105 covers the side of the first light-shielding layer 104 away from the light-emitting pixel layer 102; the second light-shielding layer 106 is disposed on the surface of the spacer layer 105 away from the light-emitting pixel layer 102, and the second light-shielding layer 106 is provided with a plurality of privacy openings 06a, each privacy sub-pixel P1 corresponding to one privacy opening 06a.

[0121] The display area DA of the display panel 100 includes a central display area A1 and an edge display area A2, with the edge display area A2 located around the central display area A1. From the central display area A1 toward the non-display area NDA of the display panel 100, the thickness of the encapsulation layer 103 in the edge display area A2 decreases, the width of the privacy opening 06a in the edge display area A2 decreases, and the privacy openings of the same privacy pixel have the same width.

[0122] It is understood that, based on the fact that the thickness of the encapsulation layer 103 decreases from the central display area A1 to the non-display area NDA, the width of the privacy opening 06a provided in the same direction has a decreasing trend, so as to correspondingly reduce the light emission angle and lateral light emission brightness. In privacy mode, the difference in light emission angle and lateral light emission brightness between the privacy sub-pixel P1 in the edge display area A2 and the central display area A1 is reduced.

[0123] Secondly, the width of the privacy openings located in the same privacy pixel is set to be the same to reduce the risk of color shift.
