[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

Technical field
[0003] The present application relates to the field of display technology, and in particular to an array substrate and a display panel thereof. [Background Technology]
[0004] In order to pursue a high screen-to-body ratio, existing display devices set up an under-screen camera (UDC) area in the display area, and the under-screen camera area must take into account both shooting and display functions. Therefore, the transmittance of the under-screen camera area must be greater than that of the normal display area to ensure that sufficient light enters the under-screen camera area to meet shooting requirements. Pixel circuits need to be set in the under-screen camera area to meet the corresponding display functions.
[0005] However, to ensure that the transmittance of the under-screen camera area is greater than that of the normal display area, it is necessary to set the pixel density of the under-screen camera area to be smaller than that of the normal display area, or to set the size of the pixel unit in the under-screen camera area to be smaller than that of the pixel unit in the normal display area, resulting in display differences between the n rows of pixels in the under-screen camera area and other areas.

[0034] 1 and 2 , FIG1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of an array substrate provided in the present application; FIG2 is a schematic module diagram of a pixel unit at position A in FIG1 .
[0035] An embodiment of the present application provides an array substrate 100, comprising a first display area A1 and a second display area A2, wherein the transmittance of the first display area A1 is greater than the transmittance of the second display area A2. The array substrate 100 further comprises a plurality of pixel units P arranged in an array, scan signal lines Scan and drive signal lines EM connecting multiple rows of the pixel units P, and a reset signal line Vint connecting multiple columns of the pixel units P. The plurality of pixel units P include first pixel units P1 disposed in the first display area A1 and second pixel units P2 disposed in the second display area A2, and it is defined that at least some of the first pixel units P1 and at least some of the second pixel units P2 are arranged in the same row and connected via a first scan signal line Scan_1 and a first drive signal line EM_1, and at least some of the first pixel units P1 and at least some of the second pixel units P2 are arranged in the same column and connected via a first reset signal line Vint_1. It is defined that a row of pixel units P only includes the second pixel units P2 and is connected via the second scan signal line Scan_2 and the second drive signal line EM_2 , and a column of pixel units P only includes the second pixel units P2 and is connected via the second reset signal line Vint_2 .
[0036] Among them, the first display area A1 can be the under-screen camera area (or UDC area), the second display area A2 can be the normal display area (or AA area), and the second display area A2 can be arranged around at least one side of the first display area A1. For example, the second display area A2 can be arranged around the first display area A1, or the second display area A2 can be arranged semi-surrounding the first display area A1, etc., which is not limited here.
[0037] However, since the first display area A1 is a UDC area, to ensure high light transmittance in the first display area A1, the pixel density in the UDC area needs to be set lower than that in the normal display area; or the size of the pixel units P in the UDC area needs to be set smaller than that in the normal display area to reduce the number of traces in the UDC area. However, the applicant has discovered that this arrangement results in a difference in the circuit architecture in the UDC area from that in the normal display area, resulting in display differences between the n rows of pixels in the UDC area and other areas under the screen.
[0038] As shown in Figure 2, in an embodiment of the present application, in order to ensure the display effect of the UDC area, the pixel density of the UDC area is set to be equal to the pixel density of the normal display area, and the size of the first pixel unit P1 in the UDC area is set to be smaller than the size of the second pixel unit P2 in the normal display area.
[0039] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3, Figure 3 is a circuit structure diagram of an embodiment of the first pixel unit and the second pixel unit provided in the present application. In the embodiment provided in the present application, the UDC area adopts a simple 2T1C circuit architecture, and the AA area other than the UDC area adopts a circuit architecture with a compensation function (such as 3T1C, 4T2C, 5T2C, 6T1C, 7T1C and other circuit architectures). In the embodiment of the present application, the AA area adopts a 6T1C circuit architecture.
[0040] As shown in Figure 3, the difference in circuit architecture between the UDC area and the AA area shows that due to the simplified circuit architecture of the first pixel unit P1 in the UDC area, there is an RC loading difference between the first scanning signal line Scan_1 (such as Scan2), the second driving signal line EM_1 (such as EM1&2) and the first reset signal line Vint_1 (such as Vint) and the second scanning signal line Scan_2, the second driving signal line EM_2 and the second reset signal line Vint_2, resulting in a display difference between the n rows of pixels in the UDC area under the screen and other areas.
[0041] To solve the above problems, please refer to Figures 2 and 4. Figure 4 is an equivalent circuit diagram of an embodiment of a capacitance and resistance compensation unit provided by the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, a capacitance and resistance compensation unit RC is provided on the first scan signal line Scan_1, the first drive signal line EM_1, and the first reset signal line Vint_1, wherein the capacitance and resistance compensation unit RC includes a resistance compensation unit R and a capacitance compensation unit C. Specifically, the first scan signal line Scan_1, the first drive signal line EM_1, and the first reset signal line Vint_1 are connected in series with the resistance compensation unit R, which is used to compensate for the resistance difference between the n rows of pixel units P (each row of pixel units P includes a first pixel unit P1 and a second pixel unit P2) in the UDC area and the other rows of pixel units P (each row of pixels includes only a second pixel unit P2). The extension line of the first scanning signal line Scan_1 and the extension line of the first driving signal line EM_1 have a projected overlapping area, and at least part of the projected overlapping area constitutes a capacitance compensation unit C. The first scanning signal line Scan_1, the first driving signal line EM_1 and the first reset signal line Vint_1 are all connected in parallel to the capacitance compensation unit C. The capacitance compensation unit C is used to compensate for the capacitance difference between the n-row pixel units P where the UDC area is located and the pixel units P in other rows, thereby improving the display difference problem between the n-row pixel units P where the UDC area is located and other areas.
[0042] In FIG4 , “Signal-in” represents the signal input terminal, and “Signal-out” represents the signal output terminal, and their specific connection relationship is set based on the signal flow direction on the signal line.
[0043] Specifically, in the n rows of pixel units P where the UDC area is located, each row of the first scanning signal line Scan_1 is connected in series with a resistance compensation unit R and a parallel capacitance compensation unit C to perform RC compensation on each row of the first scanning signal line Scan_1, which can compensate for the resistance and capacitance differences between the first scanning signal line Scan_1 and the second scanning signal line Scan_2; in the n rows of pixel units P where the UDC area is located, each row of the first driving signal line EM_1 is connected in series with a resistance compensation unit R and a parallel capacitance compensation unit C to perform RC compensation on each row of the first driving signal line EM_1, which can compensate for the resistance and capacitance differences between the first driving signal line EM_1 and the second driving signal line EM_2; in the n rows of pixel units P where the UDC area is located, each column of the first reset signal line Vint_1 is connected in series with a resistance compensation unit R and a parallel capacitance compensation unit C to perform RC compensation on each column of the first reset scanning signal line, which can compensate for the resistance and capacitance differences between the first reset signal line Vint_1 and the second reset signal line Vint_2. By performing RC compensation on the first scan signal line Scan_1, the first drive signal line EM_1, and the first reset signal line Vint_1 connected to the n rows of pixel cells P in the UDC area, the electrical properties of the first scan signal line Scan_1, the first drive signal line EM_1, and the first reset signal line Vint_1 connected to the n rows of pixel cells P in other areas are made consistent, thereby improving the display difference between the n rows of pixel cells P in the UDC area and other areas.
[0044] In this embodiment, the resistance compensation unit R and the capacitance compensation unit C can both be disposed in the first display area A1. Specifically, because the second pixel units P2 in the second display area A2 have complex circuit structures and are relatively large in size, the gaps between the second pixel units P2 are small. In this embodiment, the resistance compensation unit R and the capacitance compensation unit C are both disposed in the first display area A1. This eliminates the need to occupy space in the second display area A2, simplifying the manufacturing process of the resistance compensation unit R and the capacitance compensation unit C. The resistance compensation unit R and the capacitance compensation unit C can be disposed at the edge of the first display area A1 near the second display area A2 to minimize impact on the light transmittance of the first display area A1.
[0045] Alternatively, in this embodiment, both the resistance compensation unit R and the capacitance compensation unit C can be disposed in the second display area A2. Specifically, when the first display area A1 is a UDC area, the first display area A1 requires a high light transmittance to meet photography requirements. Therefore, to prevent the resistance compensation unit R and the capacitance compensation unit C from affecting the light transmittance of the first display area A1, the resistance compensation unit R and the capacitance compensation unit C are disposed in the second display area A2. The resistance compensation unit R and the capacitance compensation unit C can be disposed at the edge of the second display area A2 near the first display area A1 to greatly simplify the fabrication process of the resistance compensation unit R and the capacitance compensation unit C in the second display area A2.
[0046] Alternatively, some resistance compensation units R can be disposed in the first display area A1, while others can be disposed in the second display area A2; and some capacitance compensation units C can be disposed in the first display area A1, while others can be disposed in the second display area A2. Specifically, by rationally arranging the resistance compensation units R and capacitance compensation units C in the first display area A1 and the second display area A2, the light transmittance of the first display area A1 can be guaranteed, while the fabrication process of the resistance compensation units R and capacitance compensation units C in the second display area A2 can be simplified.

In this embodiment of the application, the array substrate 100 includes a substrate 10, a semiconductor layer 20, a gate insulation layer 30, a first metal layer 40, an interlayer dielectric layer 50, and a second metal layer 60.
