[0123] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a display module and a display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0124] In the following, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the illustrated embodiments may be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0125] The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings, but include modifications to the configurations formed based on the manufacturing process. Therefore, the regions illustrated in the drawings have schematic properties, and the shapes of the regions shown in the drawings illustrate the specific shapes of the regions, but are not intended to be restrictive.
[0126] Currently, low-cost display products have become the mainstream demand of various terminals. Function integration can reduce the hardware components in display products, thereby achieving the purpose of cost savings. Based on this, in related technologies, a light sensor is integrated in a liquid crystal display product to implement the light sensing function of the liquid crystal display product. According to the light sensing result, the liquid crystal display product can flexibly adjust parameters such as the display brightness and contrast of the screen, thereby improving the display effect of the liquid crystal display product in different application scenarios and light environments.
[0127] In related technologies, referring to Figure 1 , for HD (High Definition, with a resolution of 720P and above) liquid crystal display screens and fHD (Fine High Definition, with a resolution of 900P) liquid crystal display screens, it includes a liquid crystal cell formed by the alignment of an array substrate (TFT) and a color filter substrate (CF), and a cover plate covering the display side of the liquid crystal cell. The cover plate includes a substrate and an ink formed on the side of the substrate close to the liquid crystal cell. The ink is located at the four peripheral edges of the substrate and is used to block the four peripheral frame areas of the liquid crystal display screen. A light sensor (photosensitive Sensor) is integrated in the liquid crystal display screen. The light sensor uses amorphous silicon thin film transistors (i.e., a-Si TFTs), and is usually integrated in the first side frame area (i.e., the DPO side frame) of the liquid crystal display screen and is integrated in the array substrate (TFT). The first side frame area (i.e., the DPO side frame) is a side frame area opposite to the bonding side frame area (i.e., the DP side frame) of the liquid crystal display screen. The driving chip (COG) and the flexible circuit (FPC) are integrated in the bonding side frame area (i.e., the DP side frame) of the liquid crystal display screen.
[0128] Referring to Figure 1, in Solution 2, the electrostatic discharge circuit (ESD) used to release the static electricity of the photosensor is set in the bonding side border area (i.e., the DP side border), which makes the width of the bonding side border area relatively large (e.g., the width is 3.49 mm), and it is impossible to ensure the mass production level of HD and fHD liquid crystal displays. In order to reduce the width of the bonding side border area (i.e., the DP side border) to ensure the mass production level of HD and fHD liquid crystal displays (e.g., the width of the bonding side border area for ensuring the mass production level is 3.4 mm), it is necessary to adopt the setting in Solution 1, that is, the electrostatic discharge circuit (ESD) used to release the static electricity of the photosensor is set in the first side border area (i.e., the DPO side border) (the width of the bonding side border area can be reduced by up to 0.09 mm). At the same time, a dummy load circuit and a reference voltage circuit (Vcom) are also set in the first side border area. The dummy load circuit is a circuit that stabilizes the output of the GOA (Gate Driver On Array, scanning drive circuit), including components such as resistors and capacitors. The dummy load circuit is a circuit that can absorb power without generating actual physical effects. The reference voltage circuit is used to provide a reference voltage signal to shield the surrounding liquid crystal electric field. The dummy load circuit, the electrostatic discharge circuit (ESD), and the reference voltage circuit (Vcom) are all set in the array substrate (TFT). As can be seen from Figure 1 , in the first side border area, the dummy load circuit, the electrostatic discharge circuit (ESD), the photosensor (photosensor), and the reference voltage circuit (Vcom) are arranged in sequence along the direction away from the display area (AA), which makes the photosensor far from the display area (AA) (e.g., the photosensor is about 0.24 mm away from the display area). Since there are preparation tolerances when the ink is prepared (usually prepared by screen printing), and there are bonding tolerances when the cover plate forming the ink is bonded to the liquid crystal cell, when the photosensor is far from the display area (AA), it is relatively closer to the ink, so the ink is likely to block the photosensor. Therefore, it is necessary to make the ink avoid the photosensor. At the same time, if the ink is too far from the display area in order to avoid the photosensor, the area of the ink covering the border area is relatively small, which will affect the overall appearance and visual effect of the display screen, such as the integrated black effect of the display screen when it is turned off is poor.
[0129] In addition, it is also necessary to consider the blocking of the ink on the large-angle incident light incident on the photosensor. The incident angle range of the large-angle incident light is ±30° to ±80°. In the related technology, the blocking test of the ink on the large-angle incident light incident on the photosensor refers to Figure 2a , Figure 2b and Figure 2cAs shown in the figure, the liquid crystal display screen 10 is fixed on a jig that can rotate up, down, left, and right. The display screen 10 is irradiated with a parallel light source 13, and the illuminance values measured by the light sensor are recorded when the display screen 10 rotates to different angles horizontally (X+ or X-) or vertically (Y+ or Y-) when the light source 13 is vertically irradiated. Among them, the vertical rotation (Y+ or Y-) of the display screen 10 means that the first side border area (the side border area where the light sensor is located) and the bonding side border area (the side border area opposite to the first side border area) of the display screen move in the Y+ and Y- directions respectively. The horizontal rotation (X+ or X-) of the display screen 10 means that the opposite two side border areas of the display screen where the light sensor is not set move in the X+ and X- directions respectively. Refer to Figure 3 , when the screen rotates 35° in the Y- direction, the illuminance value measured by the light sensor drops sharply. When the screen rotates in the Y+ direction, there is no sharp change in the illuminance value, but the illuminance value changes smoothly with the increase of the incident angle. The reason is that when the screen rotates 35° in the Y- direction, the ink blocks the incident light with a large incident angle, affecting the reception of the light with a large incident angle by the light sensor.
[0130] How to make the illuminance curve measured by the light sensor change smoothly with the incident angle within a large incident angle range is also a problem to be solved.
[0131] To solve the above problems in the disclosed technology, in a first aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display module. Refer to Figure 4a , Figure 4b and Figure 4c , wherein, it includes a display area 100 and a border area 101. The border area 101 surrounds at least one side periphery of the display area 100. The display module further includes a display panel 1 and a cover plate 2. The cover plate 2 covers the display side of the display panel 1. The display panel 1 includes a black matrix 121, and an opening K is formed in the black matrix 121 of the border area 101; the cover plate 2 includes a substrate 21 and a light-shielding layer 22. The light-shielding layer 22 is located on the side of the substrate 21 close to the display panel 1. The light-shielding layer 22 is located in the border area 101, and the light-shielding layer 22 at least surrounds the edge of the display area 100 on the side where the opening K is located. The light-shielding layer 22 is located on the side of the positive projection of the opening K on the substrate 21 away from the display area 100. The opening K and the positive projection of the light-shielding layer 22 on the substrate 21 do not overlap. The light-shielding layer 22 has a notch 220 at the position corresponding to the opening K, and the notch 220 is a depression in the direction away from the display area 100.

The light-shielding layer 22 is located in the border area 101, and the light-shielding layer 22 at least surrounds the edge of the display area 100 on the side where the photosensitive structure 3 is located. The light-shielding layer 22 is located on the side of the substrate 21 away from the display area 100 of the orthographic projection of the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3. The effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 and the orthographic projection of the light-shielding layer 22 on the substrate 21 do not overlap. The light-shielding layer 22 has a notch 220 at the position corresponding to the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3. The notch 220 is a depression in the direction away from the display area 100.
[0133] In some embodiments, the display panel 1 further includes a first substrate 11 and a second substrate 12 which are opposed to each other. The cover plate 2 is located on the side of the second substrate 12 away from the first substrate 11. The first substrate 11 includes a first base 110 and a photosensitive structure 3. The photosensitive structure 3 is located on the side of the first base 110 close to the second substrate 12, and the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 is located in the border area 101. The second substrate 12 includes a second base 120. A black matrix 121 is located on the side of the second base 120 close to the first substrate 11. The orthographic projection of the opening K on the first base 110 covers the orthographic projection of the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 on the first base 110.
[0134] Among them, the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 can sense the external ambient light, and convert the sensed external ambient light into an electrical signal and provide it to the display module. The display module adjusts parameters such as its display brightness and contrast according to the intensity of the external ambient light, so as to improve the display effect of the display module in different application scenarios and light environments. In this embodiment, the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 is exposed at the opening K, so the area of the opening K can be determined as the effective photosensitive area.
[0135] The photosensitive structure 3 can adopt a photosensitive thin-film transistor. The light-shielding layer 22 can adopt ink, and the ink can form an occlusion for the border area 101 of the display module, thereby improving the appearance visual effect of the display module, such as the integrated black effect when the display module is turned off. It should be noted that as long as the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 and the orthographic projection of the light-shielding layer 22 on the substrate 21 do not overlap, for example, the channel area of the photosensitive thin-film transistor is its effective photosensitive area, as long as the channel area of the photosensitive thin-film transistor and the orthographic projection of the light-shielding layer 22 on the substrate 21 do not overlap.
[0136] In this embodiment, by making the light-shielding layer 22 recessed to form a notch 220 in the position corresponding to the opening K in a direction away from the display area 100, on the one hand, the light-shielding layer 22 can avoid the effective light-sensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3, preventing the light-shielding layer 22 from blocking the effective light-sensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 due to the manufacturing tolerance and the fitting tolerance with the cover plate 2, so as to ensure that the effective light-sensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 can normally sense external light (such as ambient light); on the other hand, the light-shielding layer 22 is locally recessed to form a notch 220 at the position corresponding to the opening K, which basically does not affect the overall visual appearance of the display module, such as basically not affecting the integrated black effect of the display module when the screen is off; on the third hand, the light-shielding layer 22 will not block the incident light with a relatively large incident angle (such as the incident light within the range of ±30° to ±80°) irradiating the effective light-sensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3, so as not to affect the reception of the incident light with a large incident angle by the effective light-sensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3, and further ensure that the sensing curve of the effective light-sensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 for the incident light within the large incident angle range changes smoothly with the change of the incident angle.
[0137] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4c and Figure 4d , the display module further includes an optically clear adhesive layer 4 located between the cover plate 2 and the display panel 1; the first substrate 11 further includes a first polarizer 111 located on the side of the first substrate 110 away from the second substrate 12, and the first polarizer 111 extends from the display area 100 to the border area 101; the second substrate 12 further includes a color filter 122 and a second polarizer 123, and the black matrix 121 and the color filter 122 are sequentially stacked on the side of the second substrate 120 close to the first substrate 11, and the black matrix 121 and the color filter 122 are located in the display area 100 and the border area 101; the second polarizer 123 is located on the side of the second substrate 120 away from the first substrate 11; the orthographic projection of the color filter 122 in the border area 101 on the second substrate 120 covers the orthographic projection of the opening K on the second substrate 120.
[0138] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4c , after the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 are aligned, the four peripheral edges are sealed by a sealant 5. The first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 are aligned to form a cell gap, and the cell gap is filled with liquid crystal 6. The display module further includes a backlight module 14 located on the side of the display panel 1 away from the cover plate 2 for providing backlight for the display of the display panel 1.
[0139] In some embodiments, the black matrix 121 in the display area 100 and the black matrix 121 in the border area 101 are prepared by a single manufacturing process, and the color filter 122 in the display area 100 and the color filter 122 in the border area 101 are prepared by a single manufacturing process.
[0140] In some embodiments, the distance M between the orthographic projections on the substrate 21 of one side edge of the notch 220 away from the display area 100 and one side edge of the opening K away from the display area 100 ranges from 0.2 to 0.5 mm.
[0141] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4e , the preparation tolerance (prepared by screen printing) of the light-shielding layer 22 is ±0.1 mm, so the unilateral tolerance of the light-shielding layer 22 is ±0.05 mm, the fitting equipment accuracy of the cover plate 2 is ±0.1 mm, and the tolerance of the avoidance step height E of the light-shielding layer 22 at the notch 220 (referring to the distance between one side edge of the notch 220 away from the display area 100 and one side edge of the area where the light-shielding layer 22 has no notch close to the display area 100) is ±0.07 mm. Therefore, the cumulative tolerance of the light-shielding layer 22 is:
[0142] C = sqrt(0.05 * 0.05 + 0.1 * 0.1 + 0.07 * 0.07) = 0.13 mm. Considering that the cover plate 2 and the display panel 1 are fitted to achieve a Cpk of 1.33 (an index representing the process capability, measuring the ability of the production process to meet the quality requirements; the higher the Cpk, the more stable), after the cover plate 2 and the display panel 1 are fitted, the light-shielding layer 22 avoids the opening K in the black matrix 121 by locally opening the notch 220. Since the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 is exposed at the opening K, the light-shielding layer 22 can further avoid the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 by locally opening the notch 220. The side edge of the notch 220 away from the display area 100 needs to be expanded outward by at least 0.13 - 0.15 mm, that is, the distance between the orthographic projections on the substrate 21 of one side edge of the notch 220 away from the display area 100 and one side edge of the opening K away from the display area 100 is at least 0.13 - 0.15 mm.
[0143] If the distance between the orthographic projections on the substrate 21 of one side edge of the notch 220 away from the display area 100 and one side edge of the opening K away from the display area 100 is directly designed to be 0.15 mm, it cannot meet the requirement that the sensing curve of the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 for incident light in a large incident angle range (±30° to ±80°) changes smoothly with the incident angle.
[0144] To ensure that the sensing curve of the effective light-sensing area of the light-sensing structure 3 for incident light within a large incident angle range (±30° to ±80°) changes smoothly with the incident angle, it is necessary to consider not only the preparation tolerance of the light-shielding layer 22 and the fitting tolerance of the cover plate 2, but also ensure that the incident light with a large incident angle can irradiate the effective light-sensing area of the light-sensing structure 3 after being refracted by some film layers in the display panel 1. That is, the light-shielding layer 22 needs to be further expanded outward on the basis that the distance between the positive projections of the edge of the notch 220 away from the display area 100 and the edge of the opening K away from the display area 100 on the substrate 21 is at least 0.13 - 0.15 mm. The theoretical calculation refers to Figure 4e , the incident angle is θ, the refraction angle is α, A is the distance between the plane where the light-shielding layer 22 is located and the plane where the effective light-sensing area of the light-sensing structure 3 is located. For example, A = the thickness of the optical transparent adhesive layer 4 + the thickness of the second substrate 12, B = the distance between the edge of the effective light-sensing area of the light-sensing structure 3 (i.e., the opening K) away from the display area 100 and the edge of the light-shielding layer 22 close to the display area 100. The incident light is refracted when it enters the display module as Figure 4e shown. For example, the refractive indices of the cover plate 2, the optical transparent adhesive layer 4, and the second substrate 12 are close, and they are all calculated according to a refractive index of 1.5. When the external light enters the display module from the air, according to the refraction principle 1*sinθ = 1.5*sinα... formula (1), tanα = B / A... formula (2).
[0145] From the above formula (1) and formula (2), it can be seen that if the incident angle θ is known, the distance D = B + C that the light-shielding layer 22 needs to avoid the effective light-sensing area of the light-sensing structure 3 can be calculated; B = A*tanα = A*tan(arcsin(sinθ / 1.5)); then D = A*tan(arcsin(sinθ / 1.5)) + C... formula (3).
[0146] If we want to achieve a smooth transition of the sensing curve of the effective light-sensing area of the light-sensing structure 3 for incident light within the range of ±30° to ±80°, the design of the light-shielding layer 22 avoiding the effective light-sensing area of the light-sensing structure 3 can be distinguished according to different demands. Considering the corresponding situations when the A value is different, the range of the A value is 0.316 - 0.394 mm, that is, Amax = 0.394 mm, Amin = 0.316 mm.
[0147] If the incident angle of the incident light satisfies ±30°, that is, θ = 30°, according to formula (3), the distance that the light-shielding layer 22 needs to avoid the effective light-sensing area of the light-sensing structure 3 can be calculated:
[0148] D1 = 0.394*tan(19.4712°) + 0.13 = 0.271... formula (4); D1 is the maximum distance that the light-shielding layer 22 needs to avoid the effective light-sensing area of the light-sensing structure 3 when the incident angle is ±30°.
[0149] D2 = 0.316 * tan(19.4712°) + 0.13 = 0.244... Equation (5); D2 is the minimum distance that the light-shielding layer 22 needs to avoid the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 when the incident angle is ±30°.
[0150] If the incident angle of the incident light satisfies ±80°, that is, θ = 80°, according to Equation (3), the distance that the light-shielding layer 22 needs to avoid the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 can be calculated:
[0151] D1' = 0.394 * tan(41.0364°) + 0.13 = 0.4748... Equation (6); D1' is the maximum distance that the light-shielding layer 22 needs to avoid the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 when the incident angle is ±80°.
[0152] D2' = 0.316 * tan(41.0364°) + 0.13 = 0.4070... Equation (7); D2' is the minimum distance that the light-shielding layer 22 needs to avoid the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 when the incident angle is ±80°.
[0153] It can be calculated from the above Equations (4) - (7) that when the distance M between the projection of the edge of the notch 220 far from the display area 100 and the projection of the edge of the opening K far from the display area 100 on the substrate 21 ranges from 0.244 to 0.4748 mm (after rounding, the value range of the distance M is 0.2 - 0.5 mm), it can not only avoid the light-shielding layer 22 from blocking the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 due to the manufacturing tolerance and the fitting tolerance of the cover plate 2, ensuring that the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 can normally sense external light (such as ambient light); but also ensure that the sensing curve of the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 for incident light in the range of large incident angles (±30° to ±80°) changes smoothly with the incident angle.
[0154] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4a and Figure 4b , the distance N between the projection of the edge of the notch 220 close to the display area 100 and the projection of the edge of the opening K closest to it on the substrate 21 ranges from 0.2 to 0.5 mm. In this way, it can also avoid the light-shielding layer 22 from blocking the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 due to the manufacturing tolerance and the fitting tolerance of the cover plate 2, ensuring that the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 can normally sense external light (such as ambient light); and ensure that the sensing curve of the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 for incident light in the range of large incident angles (±30° to ±80°) changes smoothly with the incident angle.
[0155] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the notch 220 on the substrate 21 includes at least one arc angle, and the arc radius R of the arc angle is greater than or equal to 0.2 mm. This can avoid defects such as oil accumulation and tooth defects at the edge of the notch 220 when the light-shielding layer 22 is formed by screen printing, thereby preventing the light-shielding layer 22 at the edge of the notch 220 from blocking the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3.
[0156] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5a , Figure 5b and Figure 5c , the cover plate 2 further includes a partially light-transmitting layer 23 located in the border area 101. The orthographic projection of the partially light-transmitting layer 23 on the substrate 21 is at least located on the side of the orthographic projection of the opening K on the substrate 21 that is close to the orthographic projection of the notch 220 on the substrate 21. The orthographic projection of the partially light-transmitting layer 23 on the substrate 21 at least covers the part of the orthographic projection of the notch 220 on the substrate 21 that is far from the display area 100. The partially light-transmitting layer 23 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the opening K on the substrate 21.
[0157] In some embodiments, the partially light-transmitting layer 23 is located on the side of the light-shielding layer 22 that faces away from the substrate 21. This can make the sides of the partially light-transmitting layer 23 and the light-shielding layer 22 close to the light-emitting surface be on the same horizontal plane, avoiding adverse effects on the appearance of the display screen.
[0158] Among them, the light transmittance range of the partially light-transmitting layer 23 is 65% - 85%. For example, the light transmittance range of the partially light-transmitting layer 23 for light with a wavelength of 550 nm is 65% - 85%. In some embodiments, the partially light-transmitting layer 23 can use semi-transparent ink.
[0159] By providing the partially light-transmitting layer 23 in the cover plate 2 so that its orthographic projection on the substrate 21 is at least located on the side of the orthographic projection of the opening K on the substrate 21 that is close to the orthographic projection of the notch 220 on the substrate 21, the partially light-transmitting layer 23 can at least cover the notch 220 area between the light-shielding layer 22 and the orthographic projection of the opening K on the substrate 21, thereby forming a transition in the integrated black effect for the path area from the light-shielding layer 22 to the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3, that is, forming a transition in the appearance change for the path area from the light-shielding layer 22 to the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3, and further improving the appearance visual effect of the display module, such as improving the integrated black effect when the display module is turned off; at the same time, the partially light-transmitting layer 23 can allow most of the incident light to pass through, so it will not completely block the incident light with a relatively large incident angle (such as incident light within the range of ±30° to ±80°) irradiating the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3, and thus will basically not affect the reception of the incident light with a large incident angle by the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3, and finally can ensure that the sensing curve of the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 for the incident light within the large incident angle range changes smoothly with the change of the incident angle.
[0160] In some embodiments, the distance P between the positive projection on the substrate 21 of one side edge of the partial light-transmitting layer 23 close to the display area 100 and the positive projection on the substrate 21 of the other side edge of the opening K away from the display area 100 ranges from 0.13 to 0.15 mm; the width Q of the part of the partial light-transmitting layer 23 located in the notch 220 in the direction away from the display area 100 ranges from 0.05 to 0.37 mm.
[0161] With such a setting, incident light rays with an incident angle of ±30° to ±80° will not be blocked by the light-shielding layer 22 and can be incident on the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3, so as not to affect the reception of incident light rays with a large incident angle by the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3, and further ensure that the sensing curve of the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 for incident light rays within a large incident angle range changes smoothly with the incident angle.
[0162] In the related art, according to the test diagram of the large incident angle light rays of the ink incident on the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive sensor, when the incident light ray is at the 0° angle, the illuminance value data of the incident light ray measured by the photosensitive sensor is 200, and when the incident light ray is at the ±50° angle (the angle between the incident light ray and the normal of the light-emitting surface of the display panel 1 is ±50°), the illuminance value data of the incident light ray measured by the photosensitive sensor is 140. In this embodiment, through the above settings of the distance P and width Q of the partial light-transmitting layer 23, incident light rays with an incident angle of ±80° will not be blocked by the light-shielding layer 22 and can be incident on the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3, and the illuminance value of the incident light ray with an incident angle of ±50° measured by the photosensitive structure 3 can reach half of the illuminance value of the incident light ray at the 0° angle.
[0163] In some embodiments, the positive projection of the partial light-transmitting layer 23 on the substrate 21 covers the notch 220, and the width of the overlapping area of the positive projection of the partial light-transmitting layer 23 and the light-shielding layer 22 surrounding the edge of the notch 220 on the substrate 21 is more than 0.3 mm. On the one hand, this can ensure that there is no gap between the partial light-transmitting layer 23 and the light-shielding layer 22, thereby improving the appearance visual effect of the display module; on the other hand, since the light-shielding layer 22 is screen-printed on the substrate 21 first and then the partial light-transmitting layer 23 is screen-printed during preparation, the light-shielding layer 22 uses light-shielding ink and the partial light-transmitting layer 23 uses semi-transparent ink, and the overprinting ability of the ink is 0.3 mm, so as to ensure that the partial light-transmitting layer 23 can be screen-printed smoothly and the edge of the partial light-transmitting layer 23 is not prone to defects.
[0164] In some embodiments, the thickness range of the partial light-transmitting layer 23 is 3 - 7 μm.
[0165] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6a and Figure 6b , Figure 6a is Figure 4cThe figure shows the change curve of the photosensitivity structure 3's photosensitivity illumination with the incident angle of the incident light of the display module. Figure 6b is Figure 5c The figure shows the change curve of the photosensitivity illumination of the photosensitivity structure 3 with the incident angle of the incident light of the display module. Figure 4c For the display module structure, when the incident angle of the incident light is between 45° and 50°, the photosensitivity illumination of the photosensitivity structure 3 is 250 - 300 lux (lux). Figure 5c For the display module structure, when the incident angle of the incident light is between 45° and 50°, the photosensitivity illumination of the photosensitivity structure 3 is 210 - 240 lux, and the change curve of the photosensitivity illumination of the photosensitivity structure 3 obtained by testing with the incident angle of the incident light is still a smooth transition. If the photosensitivity illumination value of the photosensitivity structure 3 decreases to about 150 lux when the incident angle of the incident light is 50°, the change curve of the photosensitivity illumination of the photosensitivity structure 3 with the incident angle of the incident light will have a mutation, and the corresponding change curve of the photosensitivity illumination with the incident angle of the incident light cannot be smooth. The transmittance value corresponding to the photosensitivity illumination of 150 lux is about 150 / 250 = 60%. Therefore, the transmittance range of part of the light-transmitting layer 23 needs to be set to 65% - 85%.
[0166] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7a and Figure 7b , on the basis of the display module structure in Figure 4c the display panel 1 further includes a second substrate 12. The second substrate 12 includes a second base 120 and a first film layer 124. The first film layer 124 is located in the border area 101; the first film layer 124 is located on the side of the second base 120 close to the cover plate 2, and the black matrix 121 is located on the side of the second base 120 far from the cover plate 2; the orthographic projection of the first film layer 124 on the substrate 21 is located on the side of the orthographic projection of the opening K on the substrate 21 close to the orthographic projection of the notch 220 on the substrate 21; the orthographic projection of the first film layer 124 on the substrate 21 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the opening K on the substrate 21, and the orthographic projection of the first film layer 124 on the substrate 21 covers at least part of the area of the orthographic projection of the notch 220 on the substrate 21 far from the display area 100.
[0167] In some embodiments, the display panel 1 further includes a first substrate 11, and the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 are aligned; the cover plate 2 is located on the side of the second substrate 12 away from the first substrate 11. The first substrate 11 includes a first base 110 and a photosensitive structure 3. The photosensitive structure 3 is located on the side of the first base 110 close to the second substrate 12, and the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 is located in the border area 101. The black matrix 121 is located on the side of the second base 120 close to the first substrate 11; the orthographic projection of the opening K on the first base 110 covers the orthographic projection of the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 on the first base 110; the boundary on the side of the first film layer 124 close to the display area 100 coincides with the orthographic projection on the substrate 21 of the boundary on the side of the opening K away from the display area 100.
[0168] In some embodiments, the first film layer 124 is made of a partially transparent material, such as semi-transparent ink, and the orthographic projection of the first film layer 124 on the substrate 21 covers the area between the orthographic projection of the opening K and the orthographic projection of the notch 220 on the substrate 21.
[0169] In some embodiments, the light transmittance range of the first film layer 124 is 65% - 85%.
[0170] By providing the partially transparent first film layer 124 on the side of the second base 120 away from the cover plate 2 or on the side of the second base 120 close to the cover plate 2, such that its orthographic projection on the substrate 21 is located on the side of the orthographic projection of the opening K on the substrate 21 close to the orthographic projection of the notch 220 on the substrate 21, the partially transparent layer 23 can cover the notch 220 area between the light-shielding layer 22 and the orthographic projection of the opening K on the substrate 21, thereby forming a transition in the integrated black effect for the path area from the light-shielding layer 22 to the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3, that is, forming a transition in the appearance change for the path area from the light-shielding layer 22 to the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3, and further enhancing the appearance visual effect of the display module, such as enhancing the integrated black effect when the display module is in the off-screen state; at the same time, since the first film layer 124 is directly provided on the second base 120, the first film layer 124 can be regarded as a part of the second substrate 12, and it will not completely block the incident light with a relatively large incident angle (such as incident light within the range of ±30° to ±80°) irradiating the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3, thus not affecting the reception of the large-incident-angle incident light by the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3, and ultimately ensuring that the sensing curve of the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 for the incident light within the large-incident-angle range changes smoothly with the incident angle.
[0171] Since the first film layer 124 made of a partially light-transmitting material will basically not affect the reception of incident light by the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 even if it locally covers the opening K due to manufacturing tolerances, in this embodiment, the adjacent edges of the first film layer 124 and the opening K are designed to be flush. In this way, it can make the integrated black effect of the path area from the light-shielding layer 22 to the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 form a transition, better improving the appearance visual effect of the display module, while not blocking a partial area of the opening K and avoiding the effective photosensitive area of the photosensitive structure 3 from being blocked.
[0172] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7c and Figure 7d , the first film layer 124 is made of an opaque material, such as light-shielding ink. The orthographic projection of the first film layer 124 on the substrate 21 covers a partial area between the orthographic projections of the opening K and the notch 220 on the substrate 21. The edge of the orthographic projection of the first film layer 124 on the substrate 21 closer to the display area 100 is spaced from the orthographic projection of the opening K on the substrate 21 by a first distance S, and the first distance S is the manufacturing tolerance of the first film layer 124.
[0173] For example, the first distance S is the manufacturing tolerance of the light-shielding ink, ±0.1 mm. Here, only the manufacturing tolerance of the first film layer 124 needs to be considered. The first film layer 124 is directly prepared on the second substrate 120, and the bonding tolerance of the first film layer 124 does not need to be considered.
[0174] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7a - Figure 7d , the display module further includes an optically transparent adhesive layer 4 located between the cover plate 2 and the display panel 1; the first substrate 11 further includes a first polarizer 111, and the first polarizer 111 is located on the side of the first substrate 110 facing away from the second substrate 12, and the first polarizer 111 extends from the display area 100 to the border area 101; the second substrate 12 further includes a color resistor 122 and a second polarizer 123. The black matrix 121 and the color resistor 122 are sequentially stacked on the side of the second substrate 120 close to the first substrate 11, and both the black matrix 121 and the color resistor 122 are located in the display area 100 and the border area 101; the second polarizer 123 is located on the side of the first film layer 124 facing away from the second substrate 120; the orthographic projection of the color resistor 122 in the border area 101 on the second substrate 120 covers the orthographic projection of the opening K on the second substrate 120.
[0175] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the first film layer 124 on the substrate 21 covers the notch 220, and the width of the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the first film layer 124 and the light-shielding layer 22 surrounding the edge of the notch 220 on the substrate 21 is 0.13 mm or more.
