As shown in fig. 3, the curved display panel includes a plurality of sub-pixels SP each having a pixel electrode (not shown in fig. 3) of a dual domain structure disposed therein. With continued reference to fig. 3, the display area of the curved display panel has a plurality of sub-areas SAA, each sub-area SAA includes a plurality of sub-pixels SP, and each sub-pixel SP has a pixel electrode (not shown in fig. 3) disposed therein. The intersection line of the tangent plane passing through the center point of the curved display panel and the curved display panel is defined as the central axis R of the curved display panel.

With continued reference to fig. 3, the first sub-area SAA1 and the second sub-area SAA2 are two sub-areas within the display area, wherein the distance between the center of the first sub-area SAA1 and the central axis R is smaller than the distance between the center of the second sub-area SAA2 and the central axis R. In this embodiment, the center of each sub-region is defined as the geometric center of the sub-region. In an embodiment, a schematic cross-sectional structure view along a tangent line D-D in fig. 3 is shown in fig. 5 and fig. 6, where fig. 5 and fig. 6 show a film structure of the curved display panel of the embodiment, and specifically, the curved display panel of the embodiment includes a backlight module 501, a first substrate 502 and a second substrate 503 disposed on the backlight module 501 in an opposite manner, and a liquid crystal layer 504 disposed between the first substrate 502 and the second substrate 503. For example, the first substrate 502 is a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) substrate, the second substrate 503 is a color filter substrate, and the liquid crystal layer 504 is disposed between the TFT substrate and the color filter substrate. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, a shielding layer 505 is disposed on the first substrate 502. In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, a shielding layer 505 is disposed on the second substrate 503. The shielding layer 505 includes a plurality of shielding units.
As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the pixel electrode PE includes a plurality of electrode stripes, and the sub-pixel SP includes a first domain SP1 and a second domain SP2 according to the extending direction of the electrode stripes. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, the electrode bar extends laterally, and in another embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, the electrode bar extends longitudinally, and in any case, the front projection of the shielding unit 50 at the sub-pixel SP covers the boundary between the first domain SP1 and the second domain SP 2.
As shown in fig. 3, the area of the shielding unit 51 positioned in the first sub-region SAA1 is larger than the area of the shielding unit 52 positioned in the second sub-region SAA 2.
Specifically, the shielding unit 51 and the shielding unit 52 may be both regular strip-shaped structures, and the shielding unit 51 and the shielding unit 52 have the same width and different lengths; alternatively, the shielding unit 51 and the shielding unit 52 are provided with the same length and different widths; alternatively, the length and width of the shielding unit 51 and the shielding unit 52 are set to be different.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the length of the shielding unit 51 is different from that of the shielding unit 52, and the length M1 of the shielding unit 51 is greater than the length M2 of the shielding unit 52;
as shown in fig. 3, 5 and 6, the width of the shielding unit 51 is different from that of the shielding unit 52, and the width N1 of the shielding unit 51 is greater than the width N2 of the shielding unit 52.
In the embodiment provided by the present invention, the first sub-region SAA1 is closer to the central axis R than the second sub-region SAA2, and the second sub-region SAA2 is closer to the end of the curved display panel than the first sub-region SAA1, so that the front view light transmittance of the first sub-pixel SP1 in the first sub-region SAA1 is greater than the front view light transmittance of the second sub-pixel SP2 in the second sub-region SAA 2.
The shielding unit 51 of the first sub-pixel SP1 in the first sub-region SAA1 shields the light passing through the first sub-pixel SP1, the shielding unit 52 of the second sub-pixel SP2 in the second sub-region SAA2 shields the light passing through the second sub-pixel SP2, the area of each shielding unit 51 in the first sub-region SAA1 is set larger than the area of each shielding unit 52 in the second sub-region SAA2, so that the amount of light shielded by the shielding unit 51 via the first sub-pixel SP1 is larger than the amount of light shielded by the shielding unit 52 via the second sub-pixel SP2, and the amount of front view light passing through the first sub-pixel SP1 is compensated to be larger than the amount of front view light passing through the second sub-pixel SP2, that is, although the amount of front view light passing through the first sub-pixel SP1 is larger, the amount of light passing through the first sub-pixel SP1 is smaller than the amount of light passing through the second sub-pixel SP2, thus, the nonuniformity of the amount of front-view luminous flux is compensated for by the difference in the size of the shielding units between the first sub-area SAA1 and the second sub-area SAA 2.
In summary, according to the embodiments provided by the present invention, at a position close to the central axis of the curved display panel, that is, at a position of a sub-pixel with a large amount of front view luminous flux, the area of the shielding unit disposed at the boundary between two domains of the dual-domain pixel electrode is larger, and at a position away from the central axis of the curved display panel, that is, at a position of a sub-pixel with a small amount of front view luminous flux, the area of the shielding unit disposed at the boundary between two domains of the dual-domain pixel electrode is smaller, so that the nonuniformity generated by the amount of front view luminous flux is compensated by the difference in the areas of the shielding units, thereby improving the uniformity of brightness of the curved display panel and improving the display effect of the curved display panel.
Further, with reference to fig. 3, the area of each shielding unit in the same sub-area is the same on the curved surface of the curved display panel along the direction perpendicular to the central axis R and in the direction B and the direction B' pointing from the central axis R to the direction away from the central axis R. For example, the second sub-pixel SP2 located in the second sub-region SAA2 is the same as the second sub-pixel SP2' in area; for example, the first sub-pixel SP1 located in the first sub-region SAA1 has the same area as the first sub-pixel SP 1'.
In a direction perpendicular to the central axis R on the curved surface of the curved display panel and pointing from the central axis R to a direction B away from the central axis R, the areas of the pixel electrodes of different sub-regions decrease sequentially, for example, the areas of the shielding units of the first sub-pixel SP1', the third sub-pixel SP3 and the second sub-pixel SP2 decrease sequentially; on the curved surface of the curved display panel along the direction perpendicular to the central axis R and pointing from the central axis R to the direction B' away from the central axis R, the areas of the shielding units of the different sub-regions decrease sequentially, for example, the areas of the shielding units of the first sub-pixel SP1, the fourth sub-pixel SP4 and the fifth sub-pixel SP5 decrease sequentially.
In the embodiment, in the direction perpendicular to the central axis and pointing from the central axis to the direction far away from the central axis, the distance difference between each sub-pixel and the central axis in the same sub-area is smaller, the front view luminous flux difference of each sub-pixel is smaller, and the same sub-area adopts the shielding units with the same size, so that the difference of the sizes of the shielding units on the same curved surface display panel is reduced, and the process requirements are reduced; the distance difference between each sub-pixel in different sub-areas and the central axis is larger, the front view luminous flux difference of each sub-pixel in different sub-areas is larger, and the front view luminous flux is smaller and smaller in the direction from the central axis to the direction far away from the central axis, so that the area of the shielding units adopted by different sub-areas is also reduced in sequence, and the front view luminous flux difference is compensated well on the basis of reducing the technological requirements.
Further, the curved surface of the curved display panel is the same as the arc line obtained by intersecting any plane perpendicular to the central axis, that is, the curved display panel is rectangular after being unfolded into a plane, and a plurality of sub-pixels of the curved display panel form a pixel column extending in a direction parallel to the central axis, and form a pixel row extending in a direction perpendicular to the central axis, one or more pixel columns may be set as one sub-region. Alternatively, referring to fig. 3, two pixel columns are included in each sub-region SAA.
In this embodiment, distances between sub-pixels in each pixel column and the central axis are the same, the sub-regions are divided in units of pixel columns, the difference of the amount of front-view luminous flux of the sub-pixels in the same sub-region is small, and the influence on the effect of compensating the amount of front-view luminous flux is small by adopting the shielding units with the same size.
Particularly, when one pixel column is set as one sub-region, the amount of front-view luminous flux of the sub-pixels in the same sub-region is the same, and at the moment, the shielding units with the same size are adopted by the sub-pixels in the same sub-region, so that the brightness uniformity of the sub-pixels in the same sub-region is ensured to be better. In addition, the shielding units with different sizes are adopted in different sub-areas, the front-view light transmission quantity between the pixel rows can be compensated, and the brightness uniformity of the curved surface display panel is improved.
Further, when the curved surface of the curved display panel is different from an arc line obtained by intersecting an arbitrary plane perpendicular to the central axis, for example, when the curved surface of the curved display panel is a part of a side surface of the trapezoidal circular truncated cone, for example, when the curved surface of the curved display panel is a part of a spherical surface or an ellipsoidal surface, in order to compensate for the front view throughput difference of each sub-pixel on the curved display panel to the maximum, each sub-region includes one sub-pixel, the size of the shielding unit of each sub-pixel is determined according to the distance between the sub-pixel and the central axis, the sub-pixel having a larger distance from the central axis has a smaller front view throughput, and thus the shielding unit of the sub-pixel having a larger distance from the central axis has a smaller area.
Further, fig. 9 is a schematic view of a curved display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 10 is a schematic view of a cross-sectional structure of the curved display panel shown in fig. 9 taken along a tangent line C-C', and referring to fig. 9 as appropriate, the curved display panel includes a first arc edge E1 and a second arc edge E2 which are oppositely disposed, and further includes a first straight edge E3 and a second straight edge E4 which are oppositely disposed and respectively connected to the first arc edge E1 and the second arc edge E2, and on the curved display panel, a first sub-region SAA1 passing through a central axis R and a second sub-region SAA2 far from the central axis R are provided.
Along the cutting line C-C' shown in fig. 9 and in a direction perpendicular to the central axis R, a cross section as shown in fig. 10 can be obtained, with appropriate reference to fig. 10, the first straight side E3 and the second straight side E4 constituting a first plane S1.
Defining the vertical distance between the center of the sub-region and the first plane S1 as the height corresponding to the sub-region, wherein the height corresponding to the first sub-region SAA1 is d1Height d corresponding to the second sub-area2。
Area S of shielding unit in first sub-area1And the area S of the shielding unit in the second sub-area2The following relationship is satisfied: s1*d2＝S2*d1。
For the curved display panel, the lower the height corresponding to the sub-region is, the larger the distance between the sub-region and the central axis is, the closer the sub-region is to the end of the curved display panel, and the smaller the front view luminous flux of the sub-pixel in the sub-region is.
Further, the first shielding unit is any one of the shielding units in the display area, and referring to fig. 10, the first shielding unit is one of the shielding units in the second sub-area, R is a curvature radius of a position where the first shielding unit is located, θ is a central angle corresponding to the curved display panel, L is a distance between the first straight edge and the second straight edge, x is a distance between the first straight edge and the second straight edge, andnthe distance between the foot of the center of the sub-region where the first shielding unit is located on the first plane and the reference straight edge is the straight edge of the first straight edge and the second straight edge, which is close to the center of the sub-region where the first shielding unit is located.
SmaxThe area S of the first shielding unit is the area of the maximum shielding unit at the position with the curvature radius of R on the curved surface display panelnThe following relationship is satisfied:
