In this embodiment, the display medium layer 128 (as shown in FIG. 4 ) of the display panel 1000 may be liquid crystal. That is, the display panel 1000 may be a liquid-crystal display (LCD). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the display panel 1000 may also be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display or other suitable types of display devices. The shading pattern 100 is commonly known as a black matrix. In this embodiment, the material of the light-shielding pattern 100 is, for example, black resin. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the material of the light-shielding pattern 100 is also a metal with low reflectivity or other suitable materials.

FIG. 2 shows the second light shielding portion 104 of the light shielding pattern 100 of FIG. 1 . FIG. 3 shows the first light shielding portion 102 of the light shielding pattern 100 of FIG. 1 . Referring to FIGS. 1 , 2 and 3 , the light-shielding pattern 100 includes a first light-shielding portion 102 and a second light-shielding portion 104 . The first light shielding portion 102 defines a plurality of main pixel regions 106 of the display panel 1000 . Specifically, in this embodiment, the first light shielding portion 102 includes a plurality of shielding sub-sections 102a and a plurality of shielding sub-sections 102b with different extending directions. The plurality of shielding sub-sections 102a and the plurality of shielding sub-sections 102b are staggered in a mesh shape to define a plurality of opening areas, wherein the rectangular part of the opening area located inside the plurality of opening areas is the plurality of main opening areas. Pixel area 106 . In this embodiment, the main pixel area 106 can be a rectangle with a long side L1 and a short side S1 respectively. The long side L1 of the main pixel area 106 The definition of the short side S1 is, for example, the short side of the pixel electrode 130 , but the invention is not limited to this. In other variations, the long side L1 of the main pixel area 106 is defined as the long side of the opening area, and the short side S1 of the main pixel area 106 is defined as the short side of the opening area, but the present invention does not use this limited.

The second light shielding portion 104 is adjacent to the first light shielding portion 102 . The second light shielding portion 104 shields a border of the display panel 1000 . The second light shielding portion 104 has an inner edge 104 a to define a non-rectangular display area of the display panel 100 . The inner edge 104a is not a zag edge and/or a jagged edge. In this embodiment, the inner edge 104a is, for example, an arc. By designing the shape of the inner edge 104a of the second light shielding portion 104, the display panel 100 can have a free-form display area. The first light shielding portion 102 and the inner edge 104a of the second light shielding portion 104 together define a plurality of non-rectangular pixel regions 108 . Specifically, in this embodiment, each non-rectangular pixel region 108 can be surrounded by the first light shielding portion 102 and a part of the inner edge 104a.

The non-rectangular pixel area 108 includes a first non-rectangular pixel area 108A and a second non-rectangular pixel area 108B which are adjacent and have different areas. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the non-rectangular pixel area 108 may further include a third non-rectangular pixel area 108C. The first non-rectangular pixel area 108A, the second non-rectangular pixel area 108B and the third non-rectangular pixel area 108C are arranged in order. The area of the first non-rectangular pixel area 108A, the area of the second non-rectangular pixel area 108B and the third non-rectangular pixel area The areas of the rectangular pixel regions 108C are different from each other, but the invention is not limited thereto.

Each edge pixel area 136 includes at least a first non-rectangular pixel area 108A and a second non-rectangular pixel area 108B. The first non-rectangular pixel region 108A has a first color sub-region C1 capable of displaying a first color and a first white sub-region W1 capable of displaying white. The second non-rectangular pixel region 108B has a second color sub-region C2 capable of displaying a second color, and may not have a white sub-region, wherein the first color is different from the second color. It should be noted that the area of the first non-rectangular pixel region 108A minus the area of the first white sub-region W1 is substantially equal to the area of the second color sub-region C2 of the second non-rectangular pixel region 108B. In other words, in the same edge pixel region 136, the area of the first color sub-region C1 and the area of the second color sub-region C2 are substantially the same. Therefore, in each edge pixel region 136, the ratio of the area capable of displaying the first color to the area capable of displaying the second color is fixed, while the area of the non-zag (Zag) edge and/or the jagged edge of the inner edge 104a is fixed. Under the circumstance, the rainbow pattern phenomenon described in the prior art can be effectively improved.

In a variant, the second non-rectangular pixel region 108B may further have a second white sub-region W2 capable of displaying white. By adjusting the area of the first white sub-region W1 and the area of the second white sub-region W2, the area of the first non-rectangular pixel region 108A minus the area of the first white sub-region W1 can be substantially equal to the second non-rectangular pixel region 108B minus the area of the second white sub-region W2. That is, the area of the first color sub-region C1 and the area of the second color sub-region C2 are substantially the same. The relationship between the area of the first white sub-region W1 and the area of the second white sub-region W2 is not particularly limited.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the area of the first white sub-region W1 and the area of the second white sub-region W2 may also be the same. It is worth noting that, through the setting of the first white sub-area W1 and/or the second white sub-area W2, while improving the zag edge and rainbow pattern phenomenon, the overall brightness of the edge pixel area 136 is not easily caused by the setting. At the edge of the display area of the display panel 1000, the overall area is small and low. This helps to improve the display effect of the entire display panel 1000 (especially in the vicinity of the border area).

In this embodiment, each edge pixel area 136 further includes a third non-rectangular pixel area 108C. The third non-rectangular pixel region 108C has a third color sub-region C3 capable of displaying a third color, wherein the third color is different from the first color and the second color. It should be noted that the area of the first non-rectangular pixel region 108A minus the area of the first white sub-region W1 is substantially equal to the area of the third color sub-region C3 of the third non-rectangular pixel region 108C. In other words, in the same edge pixel region 136, the areas of the first color sub-region C1, the second color sub-region C2 and the third color sub-region C3 of the non-rectangular pixel region 108C are substantially the same. Therefore, in each edge pixel region 136, the ratio of the area capable of displaying the first color, the area capable of displaying the second color, and the area capable of displaying the third color is fixed, and the inner edge 104a can be zigzag (Zag) In the case of edges and/or jagged edges, the rainbow phenomenon described in the prior art is effectively improved. In addition, in the embodiment of FIG. 1 , the third non-rectangular pixel region 108C may selectively have a white sub-region W3. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the third non-rectangular pixel region 108C may not have the white sub-region W3.

In a variant, the third non-rectangular pixel region 108C may further have a third white sub-region W3 capable of displaying white. The area of the first non-rectangular pixel region 108A minus the area of the first white sub-region W1 is substantially equal to the area of the third non-rectangular pixel region 108C minus the area of the third white sub-region W3. In this embodiment, the first white sub-region W1, the second white sub-region W2, and the third white sub-region W3 are adjacent to the main pixel region 106; the area of the first white sub-region W1, the area of the second white sub-region W2 The area and the area of the third white sub-region W3 may be different from each other, so that in the single edge pixel region 136, the areas of the first color sub-region C1, the second color sub-region C2, and the third color sub-region C3 are the same, but this The invention is not limited to this.

As shown in FIG. 1 , in this embodiment, the first color sub-region C1, the first white sub-region W1, the second color sub-region C2, the second white sub-region W2, the third color sub-region C3 and the third white sub-region The sub-regions W1 may all be non-rectangular. Specifically, between each color sub-region and the corresponding white sub-region (for example, between the first color sub-region C1 and the corresponding first white sub-region W1), there is a boundary line corresponding to a part of the inner edge 104a, so that the The area ratio of each emission color of each edge pixel region 136 is fixed.

The region 108B and the third non-rectangular pixel region 108C respectively include a first color sub-region C1 capable of displaying a first color, a second color sub-region C2 capable of displaying a second color, and a third color sub-region C3 capable of displaying a third color . In this embodiment, the first color, the second color and the third color can be red, green and blue respectively, but the invention is not limited to this. In addition, in this embodiment, the plurality of main pixel regions 106 located in the same row as the first color sub-region C1 of the first non-rectangular pixel region 108A can selectively display the first color, and the second non-rectangular pixel region can display the first color selectively.

The active element 118 is disposed on the first substrate 110 . Active elements 118 include, but are not limited to, thin film transistors. The thin film transistor has a source S, a gate G, a drain D and at least one semiconductor layer 114 . The source electrode S and the drain electrode D are electrically connected on both sides of the semiconductor layer 114 . More specifically, the active element 118 further includes an ohmic contact layer 116 , and the source electrode S and the drain electrode D can be electrically connected to both sides of the semiconductor layer 114 through the ohmic contact layer 116 . The gate G overlaps with the semiconductor layer 114 .

In this embodiment, the gate G may be disposed between the semiconductor layer 114 and the first substrate 110 . In other words, the gate G can be disposed under the semiconductor layer 114 , and the active element 118 is, for example, a bottom gate type thin film transistor (bottom gate TFT). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the active element 118 may also be a top gate TFT or other suitable form of thin film transistor.

At least one insulating layer (eg, but not limited to, the first insulating layer 120 and the second insulating layer 122 ) covers the active device 118 and has an opening 134 exposing the drain D.
