AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing OLED display panels have a low pixel aperture ratio, which affects the lifespan and image quality of the display panels. Moreover, the manufacturing process is complex and it is difficult to effectively improve the performance through the existing arrangement methods.

Method used

A novel pixel arrangement is adopted, which divides subpixels into multiple repeating units. Each repeating unit includes at least two first-color subpixels, at least two second-color subpixels, and at least two third-color subpixels. Each color subpixel in the at least two color subpixels includes at least two adjacent subpixels. By sharing a mask opening, the manufacturing process is simplified and the pixel aperture ratio is increased.

Benefits of technology

It increases the pixel aperture ratio of the display panel, extends the lifespan of subpixels, simplifies the manufacturing process, and reduces power consumption.

Abstract

Provided are a display panel and a display apparatus. The display panel comprises a base substrate and a plurality of sub-pixels located on the base substrate, the plurality of sub-pixels being arranged in an array along a first direction and a second direction, the first direction and the second direction being both parallel to the base substrate, and the first direction intersecting with the second direction, wherein the plurality of sub-pixels are divided into a plurality of repeating units, and each repeating unit comprises at least two first color sub-pixels, at least two second color sub-pixels, and at least two third color sub-pixels, and in each repeating unit, sub-pixels of each color among sub-pixels of at least two colors include at least two adjacently arranged sub-pixels. Adjacent sub-pixels of a same color in each repeating unit in the display panel can share a mask opening when forming a light-emitting functional layer, which is beneficial to saving a pixel space of a product, simplifying a manufacturing process, increasing a pixel aperture ratio, and prolonging the service life of the sub-pixels.
