As used in the examples of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a liquid crystal display panel in an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a cross section along direction AA' in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a liquid crystal display panel, including: a normal display area 1 and an abnormal area 2, wherein the normal display area 2 at least partially surrounds the abnormal area 2; the liquid crystal display panel comprises a color film substrate 3, an array substrate 4 and a liquid crystal layer 5 positioned between the color film substrate 3 and the array substrate 4, wherein the color film substrate 3 and the array substrate 4 cover an abnormal area 2; the color film substrate 3 is provided with a first transparent electrode 51 in the special-shaped area 2, the array substrate 4 is provided with a second transparent electrode 52 in the special-shaped area 2, the liquid crystal layer 5 is provided with a specific liquid crystal 50 in the special-shaped area 2, and the specific liquid crystal 50 is used for switching between a transparent state and a fog state under the action of electric fields of the first transparent electrode 51 and the second transparent electrode 52; and a partition sealant 6 is arranged at the junction of the normal display area 1 and the special-shaped area 2, and the partition sealant 6 is positioned between the color film substrate 3 and the array substrate 4 and is used for partitioning the part of the liquid crystal layer 5 in the normal display area 1 and the part in the special-shaped area 2.
Specifically, the normal display area 1 is used for normally displaying images, the liquid crystal display panel includes pixels arranged in the normal display area 1, each pixel includes a plurality of sub-pixels, each sub-pixel includes a color resistor on the color film substrate 3, the color resistors are used for filtering light so that the sub-pixels have corresponding light emitting colors, each sub-pixel includes a pixel electrode and a common electrode, for example, both the pixel electrode and the common electrode are located on the array substrate 4, when a voltage is applied to the pixel electrode and the common electrode, the pixel electrode and the common electrode form an electric field, and the electric field penetrates through the liquid crystal layer 5, so that liquid crystals in the liquid crystal layer 5 in the normal display area 1 are deflected under the control of the voltages of the pixel electrode and the common electrode, so that the sub-pixels have corresponding light emitting brightness. The liquid crystal layer 5 has liquid crystal in the irregular area 2 different from that in the normal display area 1, and therefore, a separation sealant 6 needs to be provided between the irregular area 2 and the normal display area 1. When the liquid crystal display panel is applied to a display device, the front camera is arranged at the special-shaped area 2 on the back of the liquid crystal display panel, when the front camera needs to be used, voltage is applied to the first transparent electrode 51 and the second transparent electrode 52, so that specific liquid crystal 50 in the special-shaped area 2 deflects, at the moment, light rays can directly penetrate through the liquid crystal layer 5, the liquid crystal layer 5 is enabled to be in a transparent state in the special-shaped area 2, and the front camera can achieve a front shooting function through the special-shaped area 2 of the liquid crystal display panel; when the front camera is not used, no voltage is applied to at least one of the first transparent electrode 51 and the second transparent electrode 52, that is, no electric field exists between the first transparent electrode 51 and the second transparent electrode 52, at this time, the specific liquid crystal 50 does not deflect, and when light passes through the liquid crystal layer 5 in the special-shaped region 2, light is scattered, that is, in a fog state, where a part of light can pass through the liquid crystal layer 5, but can be emitted from different angles due to scattering, so that a fog-like display effect of ground glass is generated, that is, a shielding effect on the front camera can be achieved through the liquid crystal layer 5 in the special-shaped region 2. It can be understood that the above-mentioned control manner of applying a voltage to the first transparent electrode 51 and the second transparent electrode 52 to make the specific liquid crystal 50 in the transparent state and applying no voltage to the first transparent electrode 51 and the second transparent electrode 52 to make the specific liquid crystal 50 in the fog state is only an example, and other control manners may be used, for example, the first transparent electrode 51 and the second transparent electrode 52 make the specific liquid crystal 50 in the transparent state under the action of one voltage difference, and the first transparent electrode 51 and the second transparent electrode 52 make the specific liquid crystal 50 in the fog state under the action of another voltage difference, as long as the electric field action between the first transparent electrode 51 and the second transparent electrode 52 controls the specific liquid crystal 50 to be switched between the transparent state and the fog state.

On one hand, the special-shaped cutting of the liquid crystal display panel at the position of the front camera is avoided, so that the probability of damage risk to the display panel due to the cutting is reduced, and meanwhile, the normal display area at least partially surrounds the special-shaped area, so that the display device provided with the front camera has a larger screen occupation ratio; on the other hand, through the characteristic that specific liquid crystal in the special-shaped area can be switched between a transparent state and a fog state, the privacy of a user can be prevented from being revealed, and the safety performance is improved.
Alternatively, the specific Liquid Crystal 50 is a Polymer Network Liquid Crystal (PNLC) or a cholesteric Liquid Crystal.
Specifically, for example, when no electric field is formed between the first transparent electrode 51 and the second transparent electrode 52, the liquid crystal and the polymer in the polymer network liquid crystal are aligned based on the alignment direction of the color film substrate 3 and the array substrate 4, that is, are aligned parallel to the liquid crystal display panel, and are in a transparent state; when an electric field is formed between the first transparent electrode 51 and the second transparent electrode 52, the liquid crystal in the center of the polymer network is oriented perpendicular to the liquid crystal display panel along with the direction of the electric field, while the liquid crystal in the polymer network and the edges of the color film substrate 3 and the array substrate 4 are kept in the original parallel orientation or form a certain angle with the liquid crystal display panel, and the incident light is scattered and is in a fog state due to the difference of the refractive indexes of the liquid crystals in the mixture system. Cholesteric liquid crystals can also achieve the same effect, and the detailed description of the principle is omitted.

Specifically, although the first transparent electrode 51 and the second transparent electrode 52 are made of transparent materials, the light transmittance of the special-shaped region 2 is still reduced due to the arrangement of the transparent electrodes, and therefore, one of the first transparent electrode 51 and the second transparent electrode 52 may include a plurality of transparent electrode blocks 53 spaced from each other, each transparent electrode block 53 is used for forming an electric field with a transparent electrode on the other substrate to switch the specific liquid crystal in the special-shaped region 2 between a transparent state and a fog state, and the spaced regions between the transparent electrode blocks 53 are used for improving the light transmittance of the special-shaped region 2, so as to improve the shooting effect of the front camera. The transparent electrode blocks 53 may obtain the required voltage through separate signal lines, or the transparent electrode blocks 53 may be connected together to obtain the required voltage through the same signal line.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 4 and fig. 5, fig. 4 is a schematic structural view of a partial region of another liquid crystal display panel in the embodiment of the present invention, fig. 5 is a schematic structural view of a cross section along direction BB' in fig. 4, and the second transparent electrode 52 includes a plurality of transparent electrode blocks 53 disposed at intervals; the array substrate 4 comprises a common electrode 41 positioned in the normal display area 1, the common electrode 41 comprises a plurality of common electrode blocks, and the second transparent electrode 52 and the common electrode are arranged in the same layer; the shape and size of the transparent electrode block 53 and the common electrode block are the same, and the common electrode block and the transparent electrode block 53 are multiplexed as touch electrodes.

Therefore, in the normal display area 1, a plurality of common electrode blocks are distributed in a matrix to realize the judgment of touch positions, the shape and the size of the transparent electrode block 53 in the special-shaped area 2 are set to be the same as those of the common electrode block in the normal display area 1, further, the distribution density of the transparent electrode block 53 in the special-shaped area 2 can be set to be the same as that of the common electrode block in the normal display area 1, the transparent electrode block 53 and the common electrode block can be jointly multiplexed as a touch electrode, in a display driving stage, the transparent electrode block 53 is used for controlling the specific liquid crystal 50 in the special-shaped area 2 to be in a fog state or a transparent state, and the common electrode block is used for controlling the deflection of the liquid crystal in the normal display area 1 to realize the display of each sub-pixel; in the touch driving stage, the transparent electrode block 53 in the special-shaped area 2 and the common electrode block in the normal display area 1 are both multiplexed as touch electrodes for sensing touch operations in the special-shaped area 2 and the normal display area 1. During touch operation, outside the edge of the display area, if there is no touch electrode, the number of touch electrodes overlapped with the user's finger is smaller than that during touch operation in the middle of the display area, which results in lower touch accuracy during touch operation at the edge of the display area. In the embodiment of the present invention, the special-shaped area 2 is not used for displaying the normal screen, but the touch electrode is still disposed therein, so that the touch accuracy at the boundary between the special-shaped area 2 and the normal display area 1 can be improved, and the transparent electrode block 53 and the common electrode block have the same shape and size, so that the consistency of the touch effect can be improved. In addition, the special-shaped area 2 may have a rounded corner formed by arc-shaped edges, and the transparent electrode block 53 is generally rectangular, so that the transparent electrode block 53 may not be matched with the edges of the special-shaped area 2, at this time, the transparent electrode block 53 at the rounded corner may be set to be in a shape matched with the rounded corner, so as to prevent the transparent electrode block 53 from partially covering the normal display area 1 and causing adverse effects on a normal display picture; or, the black matrix 33 may be disposed between the irregular area 2 and the normal display area 1, and the transparent electrode block 53 whose rounded corner exceeds the irregular area 2 is shielded by the black matrix 33, so as to avoid the adverse effect of the transparent electrode block 53 on the normal display picture.
