Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to display technology, in particular to a GIP layout structure of a special-shaped display panel and a display device. Background Art

[0002] GIP is the abbreviation of "Gate In Panel". It is a driving circuit used in display technology, especially for flat panel displays. The GIP circuit is formed directly in the non-display area of ​​the display panel, which can reduce the bezel size of the display device and make the device more compact. This design allows the display panel to have higher design freedom and better quality, while also improving overall reliability and performance.

[0003] The main difference of special-shaped display panels is that their display area presents a special non-rectangular shape, such as a rounded screen, a circular screen or a ring screen, or there is a gap in the display area to avoid the front camera, earpiece, etc., such as a bangs screen or a perforated screen.

[0004] In special-shaped display panels such as rounded screens, circular screens or ring screens, Figure 1 As shown, due to the existence of the arc frame 1', when the GIP circuit unit is wired in the arc frame 1', the width of the arc frame 1' cannot be less than the diagonal length of the GIP circuit unit, and when the GIP circuit unit is wired in the linear frame 2', the width of the arc frame 1' only needs to be greater than the lateral side length of the GIP circuit unit. This results in the width of the special-shaped display panel at the arc frame 1' being greater than the width at the linear frame 2'. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a GIP layout structure of a special-shaped display panel, which can reduce the width of the special-shaped display panel at the curved frame.

[0006] The utility model also provides a display device, comprising a special-shaped panel, wherein the special-shaped panel adopts the above-mentioned GIP layout structure.

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0011] Furthermore, the GIP circuit units of some rows of pixel units corresponding to the first linear border are arranged in the second border.

[0012] Furthermore, the width of the first arc-shaped border is equal to the width of the first linear border, or the width of the first arc-shaped border is smaller than the width of the first linear border.

[0014] Furthermore, the special-shaped display panel is provided with a notch area, and the notch area is located outside the display area, and the first frame and the second frame are connected end to end to jointly enclose the display area.

[0026] Embodiment 1

[0027] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, a GIP layout structure of a special-shaped display panel is provided, wherein the special-shaped display panel is provided with a display area 1, a first frame 2, a second frame 3, and a notch area 4 or a through-hole area 5, wherein the first frame 2 is provided on the edge of the display area 1, and the second frame 3 is provided on the edge of the notch area 4 or the through-hole area 5, and a plurality of rows of pixel units 11 are provided in the display area 1; the first frame 2 includes a first curved frame 21, and the GIP circuit units 6 of all rows of pixel units 11 corresponding to the first curved frame 21 are provided in the second frame 3.

[0028] The GIP layout structure of the utility model sets the GIP circuit units 6 of all rows of pixel units 11 corresponding to the first curved frame 21 in the special-shaped display panel within the second frame 3. In this way, there is no need to consider the influence of the GIP circuit units 6 when designing the width of the first curved frame 21, and the width of the first curved frame 21 can be designed to be as small as possible to achieve a narrow frame of the first curved frame 21; and the notch area 4 or the through-hole area 5 is used to assemble devices such as front cameras, light sensors, and three-dimensional sensors. In order to block the periphery of devices such as the front cameras, light sensors, and three-dimensional sensors, the width of the second frame 3 is originally designed to be relatively large. Therefore, the second frame 3 has enough space to set the GIP circuit units 6 of all rows of pixel units 11 corresponding to the first curved frame 21.

[0029] The first frame 2 further includes a first linear frame 22 , and the GIP circuit units 6 of at least one row of pixel units 11 corresponding to the first linear frame 22 are disposed in the first linear frame 22 .

[0030] Optimally, the GIP circuit units 6 of all rows of pixel units 11 corresponding to the first linear border 22 are all arranged within the first linear border 22 .

[0031] Of course, if the size of the notch area 4 or the through-hole area 5 is relatively large, then there may be a local area of ​​the second border 3 that overlaps with the first linear border 22 in the longitudinal direction. According to the length of the longitudinal overlap between the second border 3 and the first linear border 22 and the actual layout requirements of the GIP circuit unit 6, the GIP circuit unit 6 of the partial row pixel unit 11 corresponding to the first linear border 22 can also be set in the second border 3.

[0032] Since the GIP circuit units 6 of all rows of pixel units 11 corresponding to the first curved border 21 in the special-shaped display panel are arranged in the second border 3, there is no need to consider the influence of the GIP circuit unit 6 when designing the width of the first curved border 21, and the width of the first curved border 21 can be designed to be as small as possible, so that the width of the first curved border 21 is equal to the width of the first linear border 22, or the width of the first curved border 21 is smaller than the width of the first linear border 22.

[0033] The second frame 3 includes at least one of a second arc frame, a second linear frame or a ring frame. If the second frame 3 has the second linear frame, preferably, all the GIP circuit units 6 located in the second frame 3 are arranged in the second linear frame, so that the maximum width of the second frame 3 only needs to be greater than the lateral length of the GIP circuit unit 6. If part of the GIP circuit unit 6 located in the second frame 3 is arranged in the second arc frame, the maximum width of the second frame 3 needs to be greater than the diagonal length of the GIP circuit unit 6, and the diagonal length of the GIP circuit unit 6 is greater than its lateral length, so that the part of the GIP circuit unit 6 located in the second frame 3 is arranged in the second arc frame, which will increase the maximum width of the second frame 3.

[0034] The width of the second border 3 only needs to be greater than the width of the first arc-shaped border 21 in the local area where the GIP circuit unit 6 is set, and the width in the local area where the GIP circuit unit 6 is not set can be equal to or less than the width of the first arc-shaped border 21.

[0035] A plurality of GIP lines (not shown in the figure) are arranged in the display area 1 , one GIP line corresponds to one GIP circuit unit 6 , and each GIP circuit unit 6 is connected to the pixel unit 11 of the corresponding row through the corresponding GIP line.

[0036] In a specific implementation, Figure 2 As shown, the special-shaped display panel is provided with a notch area 4, and the notch area 4 is located outside the display area 1, and is formed by removing a local area from the edge of the special-shaped display panel into the display area 1 by etching or grinding, etc., and the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 are connected end to end to enclose the display area 1 together.

[0037] In a specific implementation, Figure 3 As shown, the special-shaped display panel is provided with a through hole area 5, and the through hole area 5 is located in the display area 1, and is formed by directly removing a local area in the display area 1 of the special-shaped display panel by etching or grinding, etc., and the first frame 2 and the second frame 3 are separated by the display area 1, the first frame 2 area encloses the display area 1, and the second frame 3 encloses the through hole area 5.
