Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present application relates to the display field, and in particular to a display panel, a tiling display module, and a manufacturing method for a tiling display module. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, a number of new display technologies have emerged, such as quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLED), electronic ink displays (E-ink), flexible LCDs, perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs), mini light-emitting diodes (Mini LED), and micro light-emitting diodes (Micro LED). These new technologies have several issues, such as cost, lifespan, and reliability, and therefore do not yet have the same level of mass production as liquid crystal displays (LCD) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). Here, Micro-LED refers to a technology in which micrometer-order LEDs are used as light-emitting pixel units and assembled with driving modules to form a high-density display array. Compared with current mainstream display technologies such as LCD and OLED, Micro LED has generation-transcending advantages in terms of brightness, resolution, energy consumption, service life, response speed, thermal stability, etc., and is an internationally recognized future display technology.

[0003] The market for large-sized display devices is quite large, examples of which include shopping center advertising, center consoles, conference rooms, gymnasiums, etc. Currently, there are four main types of large-sized displays:

[0004] (1) LCD tiling display: This technical solution is low cost, but can only be applied indoors and has noticeable tiling seams.

[0005] (2) PCB board small-gap LED tiling display: this technology can realize seamless tiling and high brightness display, but the resolution is low and the module is large and complicated.

[0006] (3) Projection display: This technology has low brightness, the screen is not clear, and the image is easily distorted, so it can only meet the needs of ordinary indoor offices.

[0007] (4) Glass substrate Mini LED tiling display: This technology can realize seamless tiling and high brightness, high resolution display, and is also thin and beautiful. However, the disadvantage is that the Mini LED chip is large, which causes noticeable graininess and makes it unsuitable for close-up viewing.

[0008] Compared with the above-mentioned technical solutions, the glass substrate Micro-LED tiling display has all the advantages of the glass substrate Mini LED tiling display, and further has the advantages of higher resolution, more delicate picture quality, etc., and has better display characteristics and is suitable for large-scale display.

[0009] As shown in Fig. 1, the pixel unit of the prior art generally includes a driving assembly 1 and a light-emitting assembly 2, the light-emitting assembly 2 is disposed on one side of the driving assembly 1, and the width of the driving assembly 1 is equal to the width of the pixel unit, and the display using the pixel unit described above has larger seams during tiling, which affects the appearance. To solve the seam problem, as shown in Fig. 2, the light-emitting assembly 2 adopts small LED lamp beads, and the negative tolerance area 3 can be set around the pixel unit, and during tiling, the negative tolerance area 3 at the edge of the display can be cut off to increase the overlap amount of tiling and achieve the effect of seamless tiling, but this technical solution can only be applied to low-resolution tiling displays, and not to high-resolution tiling displays.

[0010] In the process of researching and practicing the conventional technology, the inventors of the present application discovered that the seams can be reduced by setting a negative tolerance on the pixel unit, as shown in FIG. 2, specifically, by compressing the space of the driving assembly 1 and forming a negative tolerance area 3 around the driving assembly 1 and the light-emitting assembly 2. A display adopting the above-mentioned pixel unit can increase the amount of tiling overlap by separating the negative tolerance area 3 at the edge of the display during tiling, thereby achieving the effect of seamless tiling, but the technical solution of FIG. 2 still cannot preferably eliminate the seams.

[0011] Therefore, a technical solution to solve the above problems is extremely necessary. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

In this application, unless otherwise stated, the directional terms used, such as "up" and "down", refer to the up and down of the actual use or operating state of the device, specifically the drawing direction in the drawing, and "inside" and "outside" refer to the contour of the device.

[0037] The embodiments of the present application provide a display panel, a tiling display module, and a manufacturing method of the tiling display module. The following will describe each in detail. It should be noted that the order of the description of the embodiments is not limited to the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0038] 3, the embodiment of the present application provides a display panel 10, which includes a first display area AA1 and a second display area AA2, and the second display area AA2 is disposed at least along a periphery of the first display area AA1 along a first direction Y, i.e., compared with the first display area AA1, the second display area AA2 is closer to an edge of the display panel 10 along the first direction Y. In the embodiment of the present application, the second display area AA2 surrounds the first display area AA1, and can of course be configured according to the selection and specific needs of the actual situation, and the second display area AA2 can be disposed only along the first direction Y on one side of the periphery of the first display area AA1, or the second display area AA2 can be disposed on two opposite sides of the periphery of the first display area AA1 along the first direction Y, but is not limited thereto.

[0039] 3 and 4, the display panel 10 includes a plurality of first pixel sets PG1 arranged in the second display area AA2. The first pixel set PG1 includes a first pixel unit P1 and a second pixel unit P2, and the first pixel unit P1 is arranged on one side of the second pixel unit P2 along the first direction Y. Here, the first pixel unit P1 includes a first driving assembly 17 and a first light-emitting assembly 16, and the first driving assembly 17 is electrically connected to the first light-emitting assembly 16 for controlling the first light-emitting assembly 16 to be turned on and off. The second pixel unit P2 includes a second driving assembly 18 and a second light-emitting assembly 19, and the second driving assembly 18 is electrically connected to the second light-emitting assembly 19 for controlling the second light-emitting assembly 19 to be turned on and off.

[0040] In one first pixel group PG1, the first driving assembly 17 is arranged on one side of the first light-emitting assembly 16 along the first direction Y, the second driving assembly 18 is arranged on one side of the first driving assembly 17 away from the first light-emitting assembly 16 along the first direction Y, and the second light-emitting assembly 19 is arranged on one side of the second driving assembly 18 away from the first driving assembly 17 along the first direction Y, that is, the first light-emitting assembly 16, the first driving assembly 17, the second driving assembly 18 and the second light-emitting assembly 19 are arranged sequentially along the first direction Y.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a comparative schematic diagram of the pixel unit of FIG. 2 and the first pixel set PG1 of the present application. In the case of the same pixel interval, based on the pixel unit of FIG. 2, the present application moves the driving assembly 1 of the pixel unit located at the upper side of two adjacent pixel units to the lower side of the light emitting assembly 2, and the two driving assemblies 1 of the two adjacent pixel units are located between the two light emitting assemblies 2 to obtain the first pixel set PG1 of the present application. By comparison, it is clear that the length of the display panel 10 along the first direction Y after cutting off the negative tolerance area 3 of the outermost periphery of the display panel 10 corresponding to the pixel unit of FIG. 2 is L1, and the length of the display panel 10 along the first direction Y after cutting off the negative tolerance area NTA of the outermost periphery of the display panel 10 corresponding to the first pixel set PG1 of the present application is L2, and L2 is smaller than L1. As can be seen, the present application, by installing the first driving assembly 17 and the second driving assembly 18 between the first light-emitting assembly 16 and the second light-emitting assembly 19, can fully utilize the spacing area between the first light-emitting assembly 16 and the second light-emitting assembly 19 to increase the negative tolerance along the first direction Y of the display panel 10, and the outermost part of the display panel 10 along the first direction Y is all light-emitting assemblies, effectively eliminating the seam.

[0042] 5, in the display panel 10 corresponding to the first pixel set PG1 of the present application, the upper negative tolerance is larger, that is, the margin of the upper negative tolerance in the first direction Y of the display panel 10 is larger. In order to make the lower negative tolerance consistent with the upper negative tolerance, the positions of all pixel units in the display panel 10 are adjusted so that all pixel units in the display panel 10 are centrally located, so that the lower negative tolerance can be consistent with the upper negative tolerance. Similarly, since there is a larger margin of negative tolerance in the first direction Y of the display panel 10, the shapes of the first driving assembly 17, the second driving assembly 18, the first light-emitting assembly 16, and the second light-emitting assembly 19 can be adjusted to increase the negative tolerance on both the left and right sides of the display panel 10, for example, by increasing the length of the first driving assembly 17, the second driving assembly 18, the first light-emitting assembly 16, and the second light-emitting assembly 19 along the first direction Y and reducing the width of the first driving assembly 17, the second driving assembly 18, the first light-emitting assembly 16, and the second light-emitting assembly 19 along the second direction X, thereby increasing the negative tolerance on the top, bottom, left and right sides of the display panel 10.

[0043] It is necessary to explain that the angle between the first direction Y and the second direction X is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 90°. In the embodiment of the present application, the first direction Y and the second direction X are perpendicular to each other. Naturally, it can be installed according to the selection of the actual situation and specific needs, and the angle between the first direction Y and the second direction X can be appropriately adjusted, but is not limited thereto.

As a matter of clarification, red light emitting device 1611 refers to a light emitting device 161 used to emit red light, green light emitting device 1612 refers to a light emitting device 161 used to emit green light, and blue light emitting device 1613 refers to a light emitting device 161 used to emit blue light.
