AI summary

A display panel includes a pixel structure corresponding to a display area, and a receiver antenna structure disposed on the pixel structure. The receiver antenna structure includes multiple receiver antennas providing first signals to the pixels of the pixel structure. Each receiver antenna corresponds to at least one pixel, and has an induced decibel (dB). For each receiver antenna, the induced dB is determined by multiple parameters of the receiver antenna, such as a winding number of the receiver antenna; an outer diameter of the receiver antenna; an inner diameter of the receiver antenna; a line pitch of the receiver antenna; a line width of the receiver antenna; and a line thickness of the receiver antenna. The induced dB of at least one of the receiver antennas is greater than the induced dB of other receiver antennas. The display panel may be used in a tiled micro LED display apparatus.
