n1 is N3-N2, and N1, N2 and N3 are all positive integers greater than or equal to 1.
Specifically, with reference to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the sub-display units 130 are arranged in an array on the substrate 110 along a first direction X and a second direction Y, wherein a black matrix is disposed around the sub-display unit 130 in the display panel, so that a light-emitting region and a non-light-emitting region are formed in the display panel, a region of the display panel corresponding to the sub-display unit 130 is the light-emitting region of the display panel, and a region between two adjacent sub-display units 130 is the non-light-emitting region of the display panel. The semi-transparent region 210 in the fingerprint identification unit 20 is a photosensitive region, which may be made of polysilicon, the current passing through the polysilicon material is positively correlated to the light intensity, and is made of a semi-transparent material, so it can transmit light, and has little influence on the transmittance of the display panel, the semi-transparent region 210 is a portion of the fingerprint identification unit 20 receiving the light signal, and is used to convert the light reflected by the finger fingerprint into an electrical signal, the semi-transparent region 210 may be a photodiode, the vertical projection of the semi-transparent region 210 in the fingerprint identification unit 20 on the array substrate 10 is located in the sub-display unit 130, fig. 1 only shows the case that the vertical projection of the semi-transparent region 210 in the fingerprint identification unit 20 on the array substrate 10 is located in the sub-display unit 130, and the vertical projection of the semi-transparent region 210 on the array substrate 10 is not limited to be located in the sub-display unit 130.

It can be understood that, at least a part of the projection of the fingerprint identification semi-transparent area on the array substrate is located on the display unit, so that the aperture ratio of the corresponding display unit is reduced, and especially, in some existing display panels, the number of the display units with relatively low brightness under the same gray scale is greater than the number of the display units with relatively high brightness under the same gray scale, which is provided with the fingerprint identification unit, the aperture ratio of the display units with relatively low brightness is reduced more, the display panel is bluish when emitting light, and the white point chromaticity of the display panel is deviated all the time, which affects the display effect.

Fig. 1 only shows a case where six display units 120 are included in each display unit region 140, and the inclusion of six display units 120 in each display unit region 140 is not limited herein.
When the number of the sub-display units 130 provided with the fingerprint identification unit 20 in the display unit 120 is two or more, the density of the fingerprint identification unit 20 in the display panel is too high, which affects the aperture ratio of the display panel, thereby affecting the display effect of the display panel, and interference may be formed between the fingerprint identification units 20, thereby affecting the accuracy of fingerprint identification in the display panel. In the display unit area 140, there are display units 120, where the number of sub-display units 130 in which the fingerprint identification unit 20 exists is zero, the density of the fingerprint identification unit 20 in the display panel is too small, thereby affecting the accuracy of fingerprint identification in the display panel.

Specifically, the principle of fingerprint recognition will be described in detail with reference to fig. 2, 7 and 8. During the fingerprint recognition phase, the node H1 inputs a low voltage signal (e.g., a constant voltage signal having a magnitude of-5V), and the signal line Data inputs a high voltage signal (e.g., a constant voltage signal having a magnitude of 1.5V). The whole fingerprint identification stage comprises a preparation stage, a fingerprint signal acquisition stage and a fingerprint signal detection stage. In the preparation phase, a driving chip (not shown in fig. 2, 7 and 8) electrically connected to the fingerprint identification unit 20 controls the thin film transistor T of the fingerprint identification unit 20 to be turned on through the switch control line Gate, and the storage capacitor C is charged until the storage capacitor C is charged. In the fingerprint signal collection phase, the thin film transistor T of the fingerprint identification unit 20 is controlled to be turned off by using the switch control line Gate. When the user presses a finger on the display panel, light emitted from the sub-display unit 130 is irradiated onto the finger and reflected on the surface of the finger fingerprint to form reflected light. The reflected light formed by the reflection of the finger fingerprint is incident into the fingerprint identification unit 20, is received by the photodiode D of the fingerprint identification unit 20, and forms a photocurrent, the direction of which is from the node H2 to the node H1, so that the potential of H2 changes. In the fingerprint signal detection stage, the potential variation of the node H2 can be directly detected, so as to determine the magnitude of the photocurrent.
Optionally, in the fingerprint signal detection stage, the thin film transistor T of the fingerprint identification unit 20 may also be controlled to be turned on by using the switch control line Gate, and at this time, a potential difference exists between two electrodes of the storage capacitor C, and the storage capacitor C is in a charging state, and the magnitude of the photocurrent is determined by detecting the amount of charge charged in the storage capacitor C.
