Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and 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.
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may be practiced in other ways than those specifically described and will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and therefore the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
As described in the background section, the existing display panel integrated with the fingerprint recognition function has low fingerprint recognition accuracy.
Taking an OLED display panel as an example, in an existing display panel integrated with a fingerprint identification function, a fingerprint identification module is located below a display module, when the display panel works specifically, light emitted by an OLED light-emitting unit is emitted to a display surface of the display panel, and part of the light is reflected by the display surface of the display panel to form reflected light, when the reflected light passes through the display module in the display panel, the reflected light is affected by a support pillar in the display module, and part of the reflected light is reflected and/or scattered by the surface of the support pillar, so that the penetration rate of the reflected light is reduced, and the amount of light received by the fingerprint identification module through the display module in the reflected light is small, thereby the fingerprint identification precision of the display panel is low.
Moreover, the support columns in the display module may cause a haze difference, and the greater the haze, the more serious the support columns scatter the reflected light, and the more serious the loss and crosstalk of the reflected light, so that the more serious the light loss carrying the fingerprint identification signal is, the lower the fingerprint identification accuracy of the display panel is. Where haze (haze) is the percentage of the total transmitted intensity of the transmitted light that deviates from the incident by more than 2.5 degrees, greater haze means reduced film gloss and clarity, particularly in image formation.
It should be noted that, when the brightness is normalized to the same brightness, the valley and ridge signals received by the fingerprint identification module under the low haze are better than the valley and ridge signals received by the fingerprint identification module under the high haze, and the more obvious the valley and ridge signals received by the fingerprint identification module are, the higher the precision of the fingerprint identification module when performing fingerprint identification based on the valley and ridge signals is.
In addition, since the light emitted by the light emitting unit of the display panel may partially emit to the bottom surface of the display panel (the bottom surface is opposite to the display surface) in addition to the display surface of the display panel, as the background light of the fingerprint identification structure, when the light reflected by the display surface of the display panel is scattered or blocked by the supporting pillars, which causes the amount of the reflected light received by the fingerprint identification structure to decrease, the resolution of the fingerprint identification structure to the reflected light and the background light may be low, which affects the detection accuracy.
In view of the above, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel, as shown in fig. 1, including:
the display panel comprises an array substrate 10 and an opposite substrate 20 which are oppositely arranged, wherein the array substrate 10 comprises a plurality of display units;
a support structure 30 between the array substrate 10 and the opposite substrate 20, the support structure including a plurality of support units;
a fingerprint identification structure 40 on a side of the display unit facing away from the counter substrate 20;
as shown in fig. 2, the display panel includes a first display area 100 and a second display area 200 adjacent to the first display area 100, wherein an orthogonal projection of the fingerprint identification structure 40 on the display surface of the display panel is located in the first display area 100 of the display panel, and an area ratio occupied by the supporting units 31 in the first display area 100 is smaller than an area ratio occupied by the supporting units 31 in the second display area 200.
Specifically, on the basis of the above embodiment, in an embodiment of the present invention, the array substrate includes a plurality of display units 11, and each display unit 11 includes sub-pixels with multiple colors for forming a color picture, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments of the present invention, when the display panel is used for forming a black-and-white picture, the corresponding colors of the sub-pixels in each display unit 11 may also be the same, as the case may be. Optionally, when the display unit 11 includes sub-pixels of multiple colors, the display unit 11 includes a red sub-pixel, a blue sub-pixel, and a green sub-pixel, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments of the present invention, the display unit 11 may further include a white sub-pixel, as the case may be.
On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, in an embodiment of the present invention, the fingerprint identification structure is integrated in the array substrate and located on a side of the display unit away from the opposite substrate to improve the integration level of the display panel, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
For convenience of illustration, the display panel provided in the embodiments of the present invention is described below with the fingerprint identification structure being located on a side of the array substrate away from the opposite substrate, and the display panel is an OLED display panel as an example, but the embodiments of the present invention are also applicable to the fingerprint identification structure being integrated in the array substrate and/or the display panel being an LCD display panel.
As shown in fig. 3, on the basis of the above embodiment, in an embodiment of the present invention, the display panel further includes: the array substrate comprises a fingerprint identification structure 40, an array substrate 10 and a collimation system 50, wherein the collimation system 50 is arranged between the fingerprint identification structure 40 and the array substrate 10, and frame sealing glue 60 is further arranged around the collimation system 50, so that light rays entering the collimation system 50 are fixed in a space surrounded by the frame sealing glue 60, and are prevented from leaking to the outside. Optionally, the collimating system 50 is a Fiber Optic Plate (FOP), but the invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments of the invention, the collimating system 50 may also have other structures, as the case may be.
Continuing with fig. 3, on the basis of the above embodiment, in an embodiment of the present invention, the alignment system 50 is fixedly connected to the array substrate 10 through a first optical adhesive 70, and is fixedly connected to the fingerprint identification structure 40 through a second optical adhesive 80, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments of the present invention, the alignment system 50 may also be fixedly connected to the array substrate and the fingerprint identification structure through other manners, as the case may be.
Further, the display panel further includes: and the control circuit 90 is electrically connected with the fingerprint identification structure 40, and the control circuit 90 is used for controlling the fingerprint identification structure 40 to perform fingerprint identification based on the light signals received by the fingerprint identification structure.

It should be noted that, because the fingerprint lines of the finger are concave-convex patterns, and the reflected light formed in the concave-convex area is different, the fingerprint identification unit 41 can obtain the fingerprint of the touch finger according to the reflected light received by the fingerprint identification unit, so as to realize fingerprint identification.
Optionally, on the basis of the above embodiment, in an embodiment of the present invention, the fingerprint identification unit 41 is a light sensing unit, but the present invention is not limited thereto, as the case may be.

In the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the area ratio occupied by the supporting unit in the first display region corresponding to the fingerprint identification structure is smaller than the area ratio occupied by the supporting unit in the second display region, so that the amount of light scattered or reflected by the supporting unit of the reflected light reflected by the display surface of the display panel to the fingerprint identification structure is reduced by reducing the area ratio occupied by the supporting unit in the first display region, the penetration rate of the reflected light is improved, the amount of light of the reflected light received by the fingerprint identification structure is improved, and the fingerprint identification precision of the display panel is improved.

Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, an area ratio occupied by the supporting units in the first display area is a first ratio, and an area ratio occupied by the supporting units in the second display area is a second ratio, where the first ratio is smaller than the second ratio.
On the basis of the above embodiment, in an embodiment of the present invention, an orthographic projection of the fingerprint identification structure on the display surface of the display panel coincides with the first display area to reduce an area occupied by the first proportion in the display area of the display panel, so that on the basis of improving the fingerprint identification accuracy of the display panel, an influence on the supporting strength of the supporting structure due to the reduction of the area proportion occupied by the supporting units in the partial area of the display panel is reduced to the greatest extent. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in other embodiments of the present invention, an area of an orthographic projection of the fingerprint identification structure on the display surface of the display panel may also be smaller than an area of the first display area, as long as it is ensured that the orthographic projection of the fingerprint identification structure on the display surface of the display panel is located in the first display area.
