AI Technical Summary
In the under-display camera technology of OLED display panels, the pixel driving circuit distribution density in the under-display camera area is less than that in the display area, causing the signal lines to be connected laterally and occupy the area of the light-transmitting area, thus reducing the light transmittance of the under-display camera area.
By setting multiple signal lines to connect to multiple pixel circuits in the display panel, the signal lines are prevented from directly crossing the light-transmitting area. The pixel island layout is adopted and the number of pixel circuit rows in the first display area is reduced. The number of light-emitting devices connected to each pixel circuit is increased, and the layout of the signal lines is optimized to improve the light transmittance.
It improves the light transmittance of the under-display camera area, reduces the area occupied by signal lines in the light-transmitting area, maintains the resolution of the display area, and realizes the under-display camera function.

Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, at least one of which can be one, two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0029] Referring to FIG. 1, the present application provides a display panel 100, which includes a first display area 300, a second display area 400 located at the periphery of the first display area 300, and a non-display area 200 located at one side of the second display area 400.
[0030] In some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of signal lines connected to the pixel circuit are provided in the second display area 400 and the first display area 300. Since the first display area 300 is provided with a light-transmitting portion 300b, part of the signal lines will cross the light-transmitting portion 300b in the first display area 300, occupying the area of the light-transmitting portion 300b, so that the effective light-transmitting area in the light-transmitting portion 300b is reduced, for example, the structure of FIG. 2.
[0031] Referring to FIG. 3, a plurality of first pixel circuits 310 and a plurality of light-transmitting portions 300b located between the plurality of first pixel circuits 310 are provided in the first display area 300, and a plurality of second pixel circuits 410 are provided in the second display area 400. Each of the signal lines is connected to a row of the second pixel circuits 410, and at least two signal lines transmitting the same control signal are connected to a plurality of the same first pixel circuits 310.
[0032] The present application avoids the signal lines directly crossing the first display area 300 by electrically connecting at least two signal lines transmitting the same control signal to a plurality of the same first pixel circuits 310, thereby reducing the area of the light-transmitting region occupied by the signal lines in the first display area 300, and further increasing the area of the light-transmitting region in the first display area 300.
[0033] It should be noted that, referring to FIG. 3, the first display area 300 can be provided with a plurality of functional sub-sections 300a and a plurality of light-transmitting sections 300b between the plurality of functional sub-sections 300a, each functional sub-section 300a including a plurality of first pixel circuits 310 and a group of auxiliary signal lines 320, the group of auxiliary signal lines 320 being connected to the corresponding plurality of first pixel circuits 310, and each group of auxiliary signal lines 320 including at least one auxiliary signal line.
[0034] It should be noted that, referring to FIG. 3, the second display area 400 can be provided with a plurality of first main sections 400a, each first main section 400a including at least two rows of second pixel circuits 410 arranged along the first direction X and a group of main signal lines 420, each group of main signal lines 420 being connected to a corresponding row of second pixel circuits 410, and each group of main signal lines 420 including at least one main signal line, and a functional sub-section 300a corresponding to a first main section 400a.
[0035] For example, in the functional sub-section 300a and the first main section 400a corresponding to the functional sub-section 300a, at least two main signal lines in the first main section 400a transmitting the same control signal are electrically connected to the parallel node with the auxiliary signal line in the functional sub-section 300a transmitting the same control signal, avoiding the main signal lines in the first main section 400a transmitting the same control signal crossing the functional sub-section 300a, which is equivalent to increasing the area of the light-transmitting section in the functional sub-section 300a.
[0036] It should be noted that, since there are a plurality of main signal lines transmitting different control signals across the signal lines in the first display area 300, the technical solution of the present application can electrically connect the main signal line corresponding to at least one control signal to the corresponding auxiliary signal line to avoid the light-transmitting section 300b in the first display area 300.
[0037] It should be noted that the display panel 100 can include a plurality of first display areas 300, and the shape of each first display area 300 in the top view is not limited to a circle, a rectangle, or a rounded rectangle; for example, in the structure of FIG. 1, the display panel 100 can include one first display area 300.
[0038] It should be noted that, in the structure of FIG. 3, the first display area 300 is provided with a plurality of first main sections 400a on both sides in the first direction X.
[0039] It should be noted that a first main part 400a corresponds to a functional subpart 300a, and the first main part 400a has at least two rows of second pixel circuits 410, and the functional subpart 300a has only one row of first pixel circuits 310, so that the present application reduces the number of rows of first pixel circuits 310 in the first display area 300 to improve the light transmittance of the first display area 300. For example, in the structure of FIG. 3, a first main part 400a has two rows of second pixel circuits 410, and a functional subpart 300a has one row of first pixel circuits 310, that is, one row of first pixel circuits 310 corresponds to two rows of second pixel circuits 410.
[0040] It should be noted that the number of light emitting devices connected to the first pixel circuit 310 in the first display area 300 is reduced due to the reduction in the number of rows of first pixel circuits 310, which in turn results in the resolution of the first display area 300 being less than the resolution of the second display area 400, so that the present application can increase the number of light emitting devices connected to the first pixel circuit 310 to improve the difference in resolution between the first display area 300 and the second display area 400.
[0041] For example, the first display area 300 can include a plurality of first light emitting devices 330, the second display area 400 further includes a plurality of second light emitting devices 430, and a second pixel circuit 410 is electrically connected to a second light emitting device 430, and a first pixel circuit 310 is electrically connected to two first light emitting devices 330; one first pixel circuit 310 in the first display area 300 is electrically connected to two first light emitting devices 330, which improves the resolution of the first display area 300.
[0042] It should be noted that since a first pixel circuit 310 is electrically connected to two first light emitting devices 330, in order to avoid the light emitting devices occupying a larger area of the light transmissive part 300b, the area of the first light emitting device 330 of the present application is smaller than the area of the second light emitting device 430.
[0043] It should be noted that in order to avoid the arrangement of the first pixel circuit 310 in the first display area 300 occupying a larger area of the light transmissive part 300b, the plurality of first pixel circuits 310 of the present application are arranged in the form of a pixel island 340, and are spaced apart between adjacent two pixel islands 340, and the structure of each first pixel circuit 310 is the same; for example, in the structure of FIGS. 11-13, one pixel island 340 can include three first pixel circuits 310 gathered together, and the light emitting colors of the six first light emitting devices 330 connected to each pixel island 340 can be two red light emitting devices, two green light emitting devices, and two blue light emitting devices.
[0044] It should be noted that the plurality of pixel islands 340 of the present application can have two arrangement modes. The first arrangement mode can be that the plurality of pixel islands 340 are arranged in an array along the first direction X and the second direction Y, that is, the plurality of pixel islands 340 are arranged in rows and columns along the first direction X and the second direction Y, that is, each auxiliary control line can be connected to a row of first pixel circuits 310. Alternatively, the plurality of pixel islands 340 of the present application can be arranged along the first direction X to form a plurality of pixel island rows, and the pixel islands 340 in adjacent two rows are arranged in a staggered manner, that is, each auxiliary control line can be connected to two rows of first pixel circuits 310 arranged in a staggered manner.
[0045] It should be noted that, in order to increase the area of the light transmission part 300b, the area of any first pixel circuit 310 is smaller than the area of any second pixel circuit 410, that is, the area occupied by the first pixel circuit 310 in the first display area 300 is further reduced.
[0046] Please refer to FIGS. 11-13, the second display area 400 is provided with a plurality of second pixel circuits 410, and in the first main part 400a, adjacent two second pixel circuits 410 arranged along the first direction X are symmetrically arranged with the center line of the adjacent two second pixel circuits 410 as the axis, that is, the present application is not limited to compact, so that the adjacent two second pixel circuits 410 are symmetrically arranged, and the structures of the second pixel circuits 410 in the same column are the same.
[0047] Please refer to FIGS. 11-13, since a row of first pixel circuits 310 corresponds to two rows of second pixel circuits 410, the present application can arrange the row of first pixel circuits 310 between the two rows of second pixel circuits 410 corresponding to the intersection line of the adjacent two rows of second pixel circuits 410, and the center line parallel to the first direction X in the corresponding first pixel circuit 310 can coincide, or the difference between the extension line and the center is within a predetermined range.
[0048] It should be noted that although the number of first pixel circuits 310 in the first display area 300 of the present application is reduced, since the area occupied by the first pixel circuit 310 is reduced, the sum of the second pixel circuit 410 and the first pixel circuit 310 in a row of pixel circuits of the present application is not reduced; for example, in the second display area 400 without the first pixel circuit 310, the number of a row of second pixel circuits 410 is a0, in the sub-pixel row provided with the first pixel circuit 310, the number of second pixel circuits 410 in the sub-pixel row is a1, and the number of first pixel circuits 310 is a2, then the sum of a1 and a2 is equal to a0.
[0049] Similarly, since one first pixel circuit 310 can be connected with two first light emitting devices 330, the area of the light emitting region in the first display area 300 is reduced, but the number of light emitting units per unit area in the first display area 300 is equal to the number of light emitting units per unit area in the second display area 400.
[0050] It should be noted that the first display area 300 can correspond to a sensor, and the sensor receives light introduced from the light-transmitting part 300b in the first display area 300 to generate a corresponding voltage or current signal, etc. For example, the sensor includes a fingerprint identification sensor, a camera, a structured light sensor, a time-of-flight sensor, a distance sensor, a light sensor, etc. The sensor can collect signals through the light-transmitting part 300b, so that the display panel 100 realizes an under-screen fingerprint identification, an under-screen camera, an under-screen face recognition, an under-screen distance sensing, etc. under-screen sensing scheme.
[0051] It should be noted that the first light emitting device 330 and the second light emitting device 430 can be organic light emitting diodes, Mini LEDs, Micro LEDs, conventional size LEDs or other light emitting sources.
[0052] It should be noted that the angle between the first direction X and the second direction Y is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 90°. For example, the first direction X can be the transverse direction of the non-display area 200 to the display part, and the second direction Y can be the longitudinal direction. The angle between the first direction X and the second direction Y can be 90°.
[0053] The technical solutions of the present application will be described in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0054] Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the lower side of the second display area 400 is provided with a binding terminal 500, which can be connected with an external circuit. The binding terminal 500 transmits the signal input by the external circuit to the data trace, so as to drive the display panel 100 to display a picture. For example, the binding terminal 500 can be connected with a chip or a chip on film, etc. for providing power supply and driving signal for the display panel 100, etc.

[0060] In the embodiment, the capacitance value of the boost capacitor Cboost is smaller than the capacitance value of the storage capacitor Cst.

[0063] In the embodiment, the gate drive circuit can include gate circuits outputting different control signals, and the types of the gate circuits in the non-display area 200 are related to the second pixel circuit 410 or the first pixel circuit 310, for example, the second pixel circuit 410 or the first pixel circuit 310 needs compensation control signals Nscan1, first reset control signals Nscan2, second reset control signals Pscan2, light emitting control signals EM, and switch control signals Pscan1, and thus five types of gate circuits outputting the above control signals need to be provided in the non-display area 200 of the present application.

The second active layer 129 includes a compensation active part of the compensation transistor T3 and a first reset active part of the first reset transistor T4.
[0134] Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, the first source-drain layer 133 is mainly used for forming sources and drains of at least part of transistors in the second pixel circuit 410 and the first pixel circuit 310.
[0135] Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, the second source-drain layer 135 includes the data signal line Data, the high-level line VDD, and the fan-out wire FIAA. In the structure of FIG. 9, the data signal line Data is arranged between two second pixel circuits 410, and the fan-out wire is arranged between two data signal lines Data.

As for the plurality of rows of second pixel circuits 410 in the first main part 400a, due to the arrangement of the light-transmitting part 300b in the first display area 300, if the main signal lines in the two main signal line groups 420 in the first main part 400a are arranged in the same way as the five main signal lines in the second main part 400b, one main signal line group 420 in the first main part 400a will overlap with the light-transmitting part 300b in the first display area 300, reducing the area of the light-transmitting part 300b and resulting in a decrease in the area ratio of the light-transmitting part 300b in the first display area 300.
[0137] Therefore, the present application can connect at least one main signal line in one main signal line group 420 in the first main part 400a to a main signal line in another main signal line group 420 that transmits the same control signal, and electrically connect it to an auxiliary signal line in the functional sub-area 300a that transmits the same control signal, so as to reduce the number of main signal lines that cross the light-transmitting part 300b, thereby increasing the area ratio of the light-transmitting part 300b in the first display area 300.
[0138] For example, in the functional sub-area 300a and the first main part 400a corresponding to the functional sub-area 300a, at least two main compensation control lines 421 in the first main part 400a are electrically connected to a first parallel node M1 with one auxiliary compensation control line 321 in the functional sub-area 300a; or / and, at least two first main reset control lines 422 in the first main part 400a are electrically connected to a second parallel node M2 with one first auxiliary reset control line 322 in the functional sub-area 300a; or / and, at least two second main reset control lines 423 in the first main part 400a are electrically connected to a third parallel node M3 with one second auxiliary reset control line 323 in the functional sub-area 300a; or / and, at least two main light-emitting control lines 424 in the first main part 400a are electrically connected to a fourth parallel node M4 with one auxiliary light-emitting control line 324 in the functional sub-area 300a.

[0149] In the present embodiment, the first extension segment 351 and the main compensation control line 421 of the present application are located in the same metal layer, and since the main compensation control line 421 has a first part located in the second gate layer 127 and a second part located in the third gate layer 131, the present application also has a first extension segment 351 located in the second gate layer 127 and a first extension segment 351 located in the third gate layer 131; secondly, the two first extension segments 351 of different layers both extend to the side away from the first main unit 400a, and the two first extension segments 351 of different layers at least partially overlap, and the two first parallel nodes M1 are both located between the first pixel island 340a and the second pixel island 340b.

[0153] Since a plurality of auxiliary signal lines are arranged between the first pixel island 340a and the second pixel island 340b, if the first extension segment 351, the second extension segment 352, the third extension segment 353, and the fourth extension segment 354 are electrically connected to the corresponding auxiliary signal lines, a technical problem of short circuit of control lines transmitting different control signals will occur.

[0157] It should be noted that FIG. 12 is only one embodiment of the present application. If the distance between the first pixel island 340a and the second pixel island 340b is not enough to arrange the five longitudinal segments, the second pixel island 340b can be arranged on the side away from the first pixel island 340a.

[0161] It should be noted that, since the main switch control line 425 is arranged in the first main unit 400a, the present application needs to arrange a connection segment in the first display area 300 to connect two main switch control lines 425 arranged in the same row.

[0178] In this embodiment, since the second reset signal Vi2 is used to reset the potential of the anode in the light-emitting device, when the potential of the anode in the light-emitting device is inaccurate, technical problems of uneven brightness and darkness are easily caused at low gray levels; by arranging a large number of second connection segments 442, the plurality of second connection segments 442 and the plurality of second main reset lines 427 form a more dense mesh structure, further reducing the impedance of the plurality of second main reset lines 427, and reducing the influence of resistance and capacitance on the voltage signal transmitted by the second main reset line 427.
[0179] It should be noted that the bright lines in the horizontal and vertical directions in FIGS. 14-16 are only one wire, and the two lines in the horizontal direction in the figure are the boundary lines of the corresponding wires in the width direction.
