Description

Display panel and electronic device Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to a display panel and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] As people's demands for mobile phone screens continue to rise, full-screen displays have become an inevitable trend. However, some internal components, such as the front camera and facial recognition sensor, occupy the screen display area, resulting in image loss and preventing a true full-screen display. The emergence of CUP (Camera under Panel) technology has alleviated this problem. CUP technology eliminates the need for a hole, allowing light to pass through the CUP area while also allowing for image formation.

[0039] The following descriptions of the embodiments are with reference to the attached diagrams to illustrate specific embodiments that the present application can be implemented in. The directional terms mentioned in this application, such as [up], [down], [front], [back], [left], [right], [inside], [outside], [side], etc., are only with reference to the directions of the attached drawings.

That is, the size and thickness of each component shown in the drawings are arbitrarily shown, but the present application is not limited to this.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a top view of the display panel provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the detailed structure of the first display area and the second display area provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the shared data line of the first display area and the second display area provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the diffraction peak intensity comparison simulation provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1, the display panel 100 includes a first display area AA1 and a second display area AA2 located outside the first display area AA1, and a transition area TA located between the first display area AA1 and the second display area AA2. In addition to having a display function, the first display area AA1 can also realize functions such as fingerprint recognition and camera. The embodiment of the present application takes the example of the first display area AA1 being able to realize the under-screen camera function.

[0041] The pixel density of the first display area AA1 is lower than that of the second display area AA2, so that the light transmittance of the first display area AA1 is higher than that of the second display area AA2. Pixel density refers to the number of pixels per unit area. By making the pixel density of the first display area AA1 lower than that of the second display area AA2, the area of ​​the light-transmitting area of ​​the first display area AA1 can be increased, the diffraction peak intensity can be reduced, and image quality can be improved. This solves the technical problem of visible light diffraction in the existing under-screen camera area, which reduces image quality.

[0042] The following will specifically describe how to achieve a pixel density in the first display area AA1 that is lower than a pixel density in the second display area AA2 .

[0043] Specifically, the first display area AA1 includes a plurality of first pixel areas PA1 and a plurality of pixel blank areas DA. The first pixel areas PA1 and the pixel blank areas DA are alternately arranged in a first direction X and also alternately arranged in a second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y are different. For example, the first direction X is a horizontal direction and the second direction Y is a vertical direction. The first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other. Pixels for display are arranged in the first pixel areas PA1. The pixel blank areas DA are areas where no pixels are arranged. The pixel blank areas DA have high light transmittance.

[0044] The second display area AA2 includes a plurality of sub-pixels arranged in an array, wherein the plurality of sub-pixels include a plurality of sub-pixel rows arranged along the first direction X and a plurality of sub-pixel columns arranged along the second direction Y. In the first direction X, the first pixel area PA1 overlaps with two adjacent sub-pixel rows; and in the second direction Y, the first pixel area PA1 overlaps with three adjacent sub-pixel columns.

[0045] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when two adjacent sub-pixel rows extend in the first direction X, they pass through the corresponding first pixel areas PA1, so that they are overlapped in the first direction X; when three adjacent sub-pixel columns extend in the second direction Y, they also pass through the corresponding first pixel areas PA1, so that they are overlapped in the second direction Y. In other words, in the first direction X, the width of the first pixel area PA1 must be at least greater than or equal to the sum of the widths of the two adjacent sub-pixel rows; in the second direction Y, the width of the first pixel area PA1 must be at least greater than or equal to the sum of the widths of the three adjacent sub-pixel columns.

[0046] Optionally, the pixel arrangement type of the first display area AA1 is different from the pixel arrangement type of the second display area AA2 , the pixel arrangement type of the first display area AA1 is a standard RGB pixel arrangement, and the pixel arrangement type of the second display area AA2 is a Pentile pixel arrangement.

[0047] Specifically, in the second display area AA2, the plurality of sub-pixels include: a plurality of first sub-pixels B1 displaying a first color, a second sub-pixel R1 displaying a second color, and a third sub-pixel G1 displaying a third color. Optionally, if the first color is blue, the second color is red, and the third color is green, then correspondingly, the first sub-pixel B1 is a blue sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel R1 is a red sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel G1 is a green sub-pixel.

[0048] The first sub-pixels B1 and the second sub-pixels R1 are alternately arranged in the first direction X to form a plurality of first rows H1, and the third sub-pixels G1 are arranged in the first direction X to form a plurality of second rows H2, wherein the plurality of sub-pixel rows include the first rows H1 and the second rows H2 that are alternately arranged. The first sub-pixels B1 and the second sub-pixels R1 are alternately arranged in the second direction Y to form a plurality of first columns L1, and the third sub-pixels G1 are arranged in the second direction Y to form a plurality of second columns L2, wherein the plurality of sub-pixel columns include the first columns L1 and the second columns L2 that are alternately arranged.

[0049] In the adjacent first column L1 and second column L2, the adjacent first sub-pixel B1 and second sub-pixel R1 in the first column L1 will borrow the third sub-pixel G1 in the second column L2, and the third sub-pixel G1 in the second column L2 will borrow the adjacent first sub-pixel B1 and second sub-pixel R1 in the first column L1 to form a Pentile pixel arrangement.

[0050] In the first direction X, the first pixel area PA1 overlaps with one adjacent first row H1 and one adjacent second row H2. In the second direction Y, the first pixel area PA1 overlaps with one first column L1 and two adjacent second columns L2, or overlaps with one second column L2 and two adjacent first columns L1. Specifically, when two adjacent first rows H1 and second rows H2 extend in the first direction X, they pass through the corresponding first pixel areas PA1, so that they overlap in the first direction X. When three adjacent first columns L1 and second columns L2 extend in the second direction Y, they also pass through the corresponding first pixel areas PA1, so that they overlap in the second direction Y. That is, in the first direction X, the width of the first pixel area PA1 must be at least greater than or equal to the sum of the widths of two adjacent first rows H1 and second rows H2. In the second direction Y, the width of the first pixel area PA1 must be at least greater than or equal to the sum of the widths of three adjacent first columns L1 and second columns L2.

[0051] In the first display area AA1, the first pixel area PA1 includes a fourth subpixel B2 that displays the first color, a fifth subpixel R2 that displays the second color, and a sixth subpixel G2 that displays the third color. Specifically, the fourth subpixel B2 is a blue subpixel, the fifth subpixel R2 is a red subpixel, and the sixth subpixel G2 is a green subpixel. The area of ​​the fourth subpixel B2 is larger than that of the first subpixel B1, the area of ​​the fifth subpixel R2 is larger than that of the second subpixel R1, and the area of ​​the sixth subpixel G2 is larger than that of the third subpixel G1. In the first direction X, one of the fourth sub-pixels B2 is arranged overlapping with one of the adjacent fifth sub-pixels R2 and one of the sixth sub-pixels G2. That is, when the two adjacent fifth sub-pixels R2 and the sixth sub-pixel G2 extend in the first direction X, they will pass through the corresponding fourth sub-pixel B2, so that they will be arranged overlapping in the first direction X; that is, in the first direction X, the width of the fourth sub-pixel B2 must be at least greater than or equal to the sum of the widths of the two adjacent fifth sub-pixels R2 and the sixth sub-pixel G2.

[0052] The fifth subpixel R2 and the sixth subpixel G2 are arranged alternately in the second direction Y, and the fourth subpixel B2 and the fifth subpixel R2 are arranged alternately in the first direction X, to form a standard RGB pixel arrangement. The area of ​​the fourth subpixel B2 is larger than the areas of the fifth subpixel R2 and the sixth subpixel G2.

[0053] In the first direction X, the fourth subpixel B2 is arranged to overlap with one of the adjacent first rows H1 and second rows H2, the fifth subpixel R2 is arranged to overlap with one of the first row H1 or the second row H2, and the sixth subpixel G2 is arranged to overlap with the other of the first row H1 or the second row H2. Specifically, when two adjacent first rows H1 and second rows H2 are extended in the first direction X, they pass through the corresponding fourth subpixel B2, so that they are overlapped in the first direction X; when the first row H1 or the second row H2 is extended in the first direction X, it passes through the corresponding fifth subpixel R2, so that they are overlapped in the first direction X; and when the first row H1 or the second row H2 is extended in the first direction X, it passes through the corresponding sixth subpixel G2, so that they are overlapped in the first direction X. That is, in the first direction X, the width of the fourth subpixel B2 must be at least greater than or equal to the sum of the widths of two adjacent first and second rows H1 and H2, the width of the fifth subpixel R2 must be at least greater than or equal to the width of either the first row H1 or the second row H2, and the width of the sixth subpixel G2 must be at least greater than or equal to the width of either the first row H1 or the second row H2. Thus, in the first direction X, each first pixel area PA1 corresponds to two rows of subpixels in the second display area AA2. This allows the subpixels in the first pixel area PA1 to share two scan lines with the two rows of subpixels in the second display area AA2, saving wiring.

[0054] In the second direction Y, the fourth subpixel B2 is overlapped with an adjacent first column L1 and a second column L2, the fifth subpixel R2 is overlapped with an adjacent first column L1 and a second column L2, and the sixth subpixel G2 is overlapped with an adjacent first column L1 and a second column L2. Specifically, when two adjacent first columns L1 and second columns L2 extend in the second direction Y, they pass through the corresponding fourth subpixel B2, so that they overlap in the second direction Y; when two adjacent first columns L1 and second columns L2 extend in the second direction Y, they pass through the corresponding fifth subpixel R2, so that they overlap in the second direction Y; and when two adjacent first columns L1 and second columns L2 extend in the second direction Y, they pass through the corresponding sixth subpixel G2, so that they overlap in the second direction Y. That is to say, in the second direction Y, the width of the fourth sub-pixel B2 is at least greater than the width of the first column L1 or the second column L2, the width of the fifth sub-pixel R2 is at least greater than the width of the first column L1 or the second column L2, and the width of the sixth sub-pixel G2 is at least greater than the width of the first column L1 or the second column L2.

[0055] Furthermore, in the first display area AA1, the fourth sub-pixels B2 are arranged in a plurality of third columns L3 in the second direction Y, and the fifth sub-pixels R2 and the sixth sub-pixels G2 are alternately arranged in a plurality of fourth columns L4 in the second direction Y. In the second direction Y, one third column L3 overlaps with one adjacent first column L1 and one adjacent second column L2, and one fourth column L4 overlaps with one adjacent first column L1 and one adjacent second column L2. Specifically, when two adjacent first columns L1 and second columns L2 extend in the second direction Y, they pass through the corresponding third column L3, thereby overlapping in the second direction Y. When two adjacent first columns L1 and second columns L2 extend in the second direction Y, they pass through the corresponding fourth column L4, thereby overlapping in the second direction Y. That is, in the second direction Y, the width of the third column L3 is at least greater than the width of the first column L1 or the second column L2, and the width of the fourth column L4 is at least greater than the width of the first column L1 or the second column L2.

[0056] Furthermore, in the second direction Y, an adjacent third column L3 and an adjacent fourth column L4 are overlapped with a first column L1 and two adjacent second columns L2, or overlapped with a second column L2 and two adjacent first columns L1. Specifically, when a first column L1 and two adjacent second columns L2 extend in the second direction Y, they pass through a corresponding third column L3 and a fourth column L4, so that they overlap in the second direction Y. Alternatively, when a second column L2 and two adjacent first columns L1 extend in the second direction Y, they pass through a corresponding third column L3 and a fourth column L4, so that they overlap in the second direction Y. That is, in the second direction Y, the sum of the widths of an adjacent third column L3 and a adjacent fourth column L4 is at least greater than or equal to the sum of the widths of a first column L1 and two adjacent second columns L2, or at least greater than or equal to the sum of the widths of a second column L2 and two adjacent first columns L1.

[0057] Furthermore, the adjacent third column L3 and the adjacent fourth column L4 share a data line DL with a corresponding first column L1 and two adjacent second columns L2, or share a data line DL with a corresponding second column L2 and two adjacent first columns L1. That is, in the second direction Y, each first pixel area PA1 corresponds to three columns of sub-pixels in the second display area AA2, and each column of sub-pixels in the second display area AA2 corresponds to one data line DL. In this way, the sub-pixels in the first pixel area PA1 can share three data lines DL with the three columns of sub-pixels in the second display area AA2, thereby achieving the display function of the first display area AA1 and saving wiring.

[0058] The following will take a specific embodiment as an example to explain in detail how the sub-pixels in the first pixel area PA1 and the sub-pixels in the second display area AA2 share the data line DLDL.

[0059] Continuing with reference to Figure 3, the fourth sub-pixel B2 of the third column L3 shares a data line DL with the first sub-pixel B1 and the second sub-pixel R1 of one of the two adjacent first columns L1, the fifth sub-pixel R2 of the fourth column L4 shares a data line DL with the first sub-pixel B1 and the second sub-pixel R1 of the other of the two adjacent first columns L1, and the sixth sub-pixel G2 of the fourth column L4 shares a data line DL with the third sub-pixel G1 in the second column L2.

[0060] The fourth subpixel B2 of the third column L3 shares a data line DL with the third subpixel G1 of one of the two adjacent second columns L2, the fifth subpixel R2 of the fourth column L4 shares a data line DL with the first subpixel B1 and the second subpixel R1 in the first column L1, and the sixth subpixel G2 of the fourth column L4 shares a data line DL with the third subpixel G1 of the other of the two adjacent second columns L2.

[0061] Furthermore, in the first direction X, the pixel blank area DA overlaps with at least one sub-pixel row of the second display area AA2, and / or, in the second direction Y, the pixel blank area DA overlaps with at least one sub-pixel column of the second display area AA2. Optionally, in the first direction X, each of the pixel blank areas DA overlaps with two adjacent sub-pixel rows; and in the second direction Y, each of the pixel blank areas DA overlaps with three adjacent sub-pixel columns. Regarding the overlapping arrangement of the pixel blank areas DA with the sub-pixel rows and sub-pixel columns in the second display area AA2, reference may be made to the description of the overlapping arrangement of the sub-pixel rows and sub-pixel columns in the first pixel area PA1 with the second display area AA2, and will not be repeated here.

[0062] Specifically, in the first direction X, the pixel blank area DA is overlapped with one adjacent first row H1 and one adjacent second row H2. In the second direction Y, the pixel blank area DA is overlapped with one first column L1 and two adjacent second columns L2, or the pixel blank area DA is overlapped with one second column L2 and two adjacent first columns L1. That is, each pixel blank area DA in the first display area AA1 corresponds to three sub-pixel columns in the second display area AA2, and each first pixel area PA1 in the first display area AA1 also corresponds to three sub-pixel columns in the second display area AA2. In this way, on the same unit area, the number of pixels in the first display area AA1 is smaller than the number of pixels in the second display area AA2, thereby making the pixel density of the first display area AA1 smaller than the pixel density of the second display area AA2.

[0063] To further increase the light-transmitting area of ​​the first display area AA1, the drive circuits corresponding to the sub-pixels in the first display area AA1 are disposed in the transition area TA, as shown in Figure 2 . Specifically, a first drive circuit 10 is disposed in the transition area TA. The first drive circuit 10 is connected to the sub-pixels in the first pixel area PA1 via a second transparent conductive line 11. Each first drive circuit 10 is connected to a corresponding sub-pixel in the first pixel area PA1. Second drive circuits 20 for driving the sub-pixels in the second display area AA2 are disposed corresponding to the corresponding sub-pixels. Each second drive circuit 20 is also connected to a corresponding sub-pixel.

[0064] In this embodiment, by setting a pixel blank area DA in the first display area AA1, each of the pixel blank areas DA corresponds to three sub-pixel columns of the second display area AA2, and each of the first pixel areas PA1 in the first display area AA1 also corresponds to three sub-pixel columns of the second display area AA2. In this way, the pixel density of the first display area AA1 can be made smaller than the pixel density of the second display area AA2, so that the transmittance of the first display area AA1 is greater than the transmittance of the second display area AA2, thereby increasing the area of ​​the light-transmitting area of ​​the first display area AA1 and reducing the diffraction peak intensity, as shown in Figure 4. The left figure in Figure 4 is a simulation schematic diagram of the diffraction peak intensity of the under-screen camera area in the prior art, and the right figure in Figure 4 is a simulation schematic diagram of the diffraction peak intensity of the first display area AA1 after the pixel blank area DA is set in the first display area AA1 in the embodiment of the present application. It can be clearly seen from Figure 4 that the diffraction peak intensity of the embodiment of the present application is significantly reduced, thereby improving the imaging quality of the first display area AA1 and solving the technical problem that the existing under-screen camera area has visible light diffraction that reduces the imaging quality.

[0065] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 6 , Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a detailed structure of a first pixel region provided in an embodiment of the present application, and Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a simulation of the diffraction peak intensity corresponding to the structure of the first pixel region in Figure 5 . Unlike the above-described embodiment, within the first pixel region PA1, the fourth sub-pixel B2 includes a first sub-block B21 and a second sub-block B22. The first sub-block B21 and the second sub-block B22 are spaced apart in the second direction Y, and the first sub-block B21 and the second sub-block B22 are connected by a first transparent conductive wire 12. By dividing the fourth sub-pixel B2 into two interconnected parts, the diffraction peak intensity of the first display area AA1 can be further reduced, as shown in Figure 6 . Furthermore, the first sub-block B21 and the second sub-block B22 are connected by the first transparent conductive wire 12, which prevents the connecting wire connecting the first sub-block B21 and the second sub-block B22 from affecting the light-transmitting area of ​​the first display area AA1. For other explanations, please refer to the above-described embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0066] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 8. Figure 7 is another detailed structural diagram of the first pixel area provided in the embodiment of the present application, and Figure 8 is a simulation diagram of the diffraction peak intensity corresponding to the structure of the first pixel area in Figure 7. Unlike the above embodiment, in the first pixel area PA1, the surface shape of at least one of the fourth sub-pixel B2, the fifth sub-pixel R2, and the sixth sub-pixel G2 is a polygon, and the corners of the polygon are rounded. As shown in Figure 7, the surface shapes of the fourth sub-pixel B2, the fifth sub-pixel R2, and the sixth sub-pixel G2 are all polygonal, and the corners of the polygon are rounded. By setting the corners of the fourth sub-pixel B2, the fifth sub-pixel R2, and the sixth sub-pixel G2 in the first pixel area PA1 to be rounded, the diffraction peak intensity of the first display area AA1 can be further reduced, as shown in Figure 8. Please refer to the above embodiment for other explanations, which will not be repeated here.

[0067] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application further provides an electronic device comprising a housing and a display panel according to one of the aforementioned embodiments, wherein the display panel is assembled within the housing. The electronic device includes display-capable products such as mobile phones, tablets, televisions, and wearable display devices.

[0068] According to the above embodiments, it can be seen that:

[0069] The present application provides a display panel and an electronic device, wherein the display panel includes a first display area and a second display area located outside the first display area, wherein the first display area includes multiple first pixel areas and multiple pixel blank areas, each of the pixel blank areas corresponds to three sub-pixel columns of the second display area, and each of the first pixel areas also corresponds to three sub-pixel columns of the second display area. In this way, the pixel density of the first display area can be smaller than the pixel density of the second display area, so that the transmittance of the first display area is greater than the transmittance of the second display area. The area of ​​the light-transmitting area of ​​the first display area can be increased, the diffraction peak intensity can be reduced, and the imaging quality can be improved, thereby alleviating the technical problem that the existing under-screen camera area has visible light diffraction that reduces the imaging quality.
