Detailed Description
Because the Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel has the advantages of low working voltage, fast response speed, high light-emitting efficiency, wide viewing angle, wide working temperature and the like, the Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel is beneficial to the lightness, thinness, low power consumption and curved surface design of a display device. In the OLED display panel, a pixel circuit is generally used to drive the OLED to emit light. The pixel circuit generally resets the gate of the driving transistor before writing data to the OLED, for example, the pixel circuit shown in fig. 2, and fig. 2 is a schematic circuit structure diagram of a pixel circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention; includes 5 switching transistors: M1-M5, 1 driving transistor M0 and 1 capacitor C. Fig. 2 shows a corresponding input timing chart, and fig. 3 shows an input timing chart corresponding to the pixel circuit shown in fig. 2. In the stage of T1, the first Scan line Scan1 controls the switching transistor M1 to be turned on, and Vref resets the driving transistor M0, and in the stage of T2, the second Scan line Scan2 controls the switching transistors M2 and M3 to be turned on, so that Data writing is realized.
In the conventional OLED display panel, as shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a second schematic structural diagram of the conventional OLED display panel, and the scan line scan (n) is connected to the pixel circuits in the n-th row of pixels and the pixel circuits in the n + 1-th row of pixels, so that Data is written into the n-th row of pixel circuits and Vref reset is performed on the n + 1-th row of pixel circuits at the same time. However, in the conventional OLED display panel, due to the existence of the middle area, the pixel load on the scan lines at both sides of the middle area is about half of the pixel load on the scan lines located below the middle area. Therefore, the capacitive loads of the pixels in different rows are different, and the problem of uneven display is caused.
In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide an OLED display panel and a display device.
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

the display areas include a first display area a1 and a second display area; wherein the second display region comprises two display sub-regions a20 spaced apart by a middle region B and arranged in a row direction;

The OLED display panel provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises a display area, a middle area and a non-display area, wherein the second display area in the display area is divided into two display sub-areas by the middle area. The first scanning line corresponding to the pixels in the display sub-area comprises a first sub-line extending along the row direction, a second sub-line extending along the row direction and a third sub-line which is positioned at one end of the first sub-line close to the middle area and extends along the column direction; the first sub-line of the nth first scanning line is connected with the pixels of the nth row, and the second sub-line of the nth first scanning line is connected with the pixels of the (n +1) th row; one end of the first sub-line, which is far away from the middle area, is connected with the corresponding first shift register unit, and one end of the first sub-line, which is close to the middle area, is connected with the second sub-line through the third sub-line. The first scanning line is formed by connecting a first sub line, a second sub line and a third sub line in series, and two rows of pixels are connected on the first scanning line, so that the pixel Loading on the scanning line in the display sub area is close to the pixel Loading on the scanning line in the first display area, and the problem of uneven display is avoided.

In the OLED display panel provided in the embodiments of the present invention, the substrate may be a glass substrate, a flexible substrate, a silicon substrate, and the like, which is not limited herein. When the display panel is applied to a display device, devices such as a camera and a headphone are generally arranged, so in order to arrange the devices such as the camera and the headphone, in a specific implementation, in the display panel provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the middle area is a hollow area of the substrate in the display panel. In the actual manufacturing process, the middle area of the substrate is cut off to form a hollow area, so that a camera, an earphone and other devices can be arranged in the display device. Of course, the middle area may not be cut, but is used as a protective cover plate for devices such as a camera and an earphone, and in this case, the middle area may be set as a non-hollowed-out area. In order to make these devices work normally, the non-hollow-out area can be set as a transparent display area or a non-display area.

Alternatively, when the edge profile of the device disposed in the middle region B is irregular, as shown in fig. 12B and 12c, the profile of the middle region B may be non-rectangular in shape.
For example, when the edge profile of the device disposed in the middle region is a circular arc, for example, a circular camera, two sides of the middle region respectively adjacent to the display sub-regions may be respectively disposed in an arc shape to form the middle region with a special-shaped profile.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 12B, only two right angles of the rectangular region near the second region may be respectively set to be arc-shaped to form the middle region B of the special-shaped profile. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 12c, four right angles of the rectangular area may be respectively set to be arc-shaped to form the middle area B of the odd-shaped profile. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 12d, the shaped area may be set to be trapezoidal to form the middle area B. Of course, the special-shaped profile may be provided as a circular arc to form a middle area of the circular arc profile. In practical applications, the outline of the middle area needs to be designed and determined according to the practical application environment of the display panel, and is not limited herein.

The first scanning line corresponding to the pixels in the display sub-area comprises a first sub-line extending along the row direction, a second sub-line extending along the row direction and a third sub-line which is positioned at one end of the first sub-line close to the middle area and extends along the column direction; the first sub-line of the nth first scanning line is connected with the pixels of the nth row, and the second sub-line of the nth first scanning line is connected with the pixels of the (n +1) th row; one end of the first sub-line, which is far away from the middle area, is connected with the corresponding first shift register unit, and one end of the first sub-line, which is close to the middle area, is connected with the second sub-line through the third sub-line. The first scanning line is formed by connecting a first sub line, a second sub line and a third sub line in series, and two rows of pixels are connected on the first scanning line, so that the pixel Loading on the scanning line in the display sub area is close to the pixel Loading on the scanning line in the first display area, and the problem of uneven display is avoided.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include such modifications and variations.
