The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
In one aspect of the present invention, a display panel is provided. According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2 (where fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an area M along a direction AA' in fig. 2), a display panel 1000 includes a display substrate 100, a fingerprint identification module 200, and a fingerprint indication module 300, where the display substrate 100 has a fingerprint identification area 110, the fingerprint identification module 200 is disposed on one side of the display substrate 100, an orthogonal projection of the fingerprint identification module 200 on the display substrate 100 is located in the fingerprint identification area 100, and the fingerprint indication module 300 is disposed on one side of the display substrate 100 away from the fingerprint identification module 200. Specifically, the fingerprint prompting module 300 includes a controller 320 and a color change element 310, an orthographic projection of the color change element 310 on the display substrate 100 at least covers the fingerprint identification area 110, and the color change element 310 can be switched from a transparent state to a reflective state by reflecting or scattering the ambient light (as shown by the dashed arrow in fig. 1, the fingerprint prompting module 300 can reflect or scatter the ambient light). Therefore, the fingerprint prompting module 300 can highlight the fingerprint identification area by utilizing the ambient light, so that the energy consumption is reduced, and the user experience is improved.
For ease of understanding, the following describes a principle by which the display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention can achieve the above advantageous effects:
as described above, in order to facilitate a user to perform a fingerprint recognition operation, a screen or a specific area of the screen (fingerprint recognition area) is usually lighted up to prompt the user when the user touches the display screen. Although the method can be convenient for the user to operate, the method is power-consuming, for example, the user accidentally touches the screen, the whole screen or the fingerprint identification area of the screen can be lightened, the screen and the fingerprint identification area are frequently lightened, the screen and the fingerprint identification area are in a lightening state after being lightened, the screen needs to be continuously supplied with power within a period of time, the energy consumption is high, and the endurance time of electronic equipment using the display panel, such as a mobile phone, is greatly reduced. According to the display panel provided by the embodiment of the invention, the fingerprint prompting module is designed in the display substrate, and the fingerprint prompting module can highlight the fingerprint identification area by utilizing ambient light. Specifically, when fingerprint identification is needed, the controller in the fingerprint prompt module can control the color-changing assembly to change the structure or performance of the color-changing assembly, the color-changing assembly can be switched into a reflective state from a transparent state, the color-changing assembly in the reflective state can reflect or scatter ambient light, and then the ambient light can be utilized to highlight the fingerprint identification area, so that energy consumption is reduced. That is to say, in the display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention, when performing fingerprint identification, only a small amount of electricity needs to be added to switch the color changing assembly from the transparent state to the reflective state, and in the subsequent process, the color changing assembly can use ambient light to maintain the highlighting of the fingerprint identification area, and does not need to light the entire screen and continuously supply power to the screen after lighting the screen to maintain the highlighting of the fingerprint identification area, and further, the energy loss caused by continuously lighting the screen due to unintentional touching of the screen can be avoided. And, fingerprint prompt module's illumination does not also rely on the electronic equipment power supply, relies on the reflection ambient light can realize the illumination. Therefore, the display panel has less energy consumption when fingerprint identification is carried out, is convenient to operate, and improves the service performance of the display panel.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 3, the display panel 1000 further includes a touch substrate 400, the touch substrate 400 is disposed on a side of the fingerprint prompting module 300 away from the display substrate 100, and the touch substrate 400 may be electrically connected to the controller 320. Therefore, when the user touches the touch substrate 400, and after the touch substrate detects the touch signal, the touch substrate 400 may send an electrical signal (e.g., a lighting signal) to the controller 320, so that the controller 320 controls the color changing element 310 to switch from the transparent state to the reflective state, and the color changing element reflects or scatters the ambient light, thereby continuously lighting (i.e., highlighting) the fingerprint identification area.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a specific type of the display substrate 100 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a liquid crystal display substrate, an organic light emitting display substrate, or the like. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the specific type of the fingerprint identification module 200 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, an optical fingerprint prompting module, an ultrasonic fingerprint prompting module, a capacitive fingerprint prompting module, or the like.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the specific type of the fingerprint prompting module 300 is not particularly limited, and the controller 310 may be a control chip, a transparent electrode, or the like, as long as it can control the state of the color-changing element 320 to change, and further, as long as it can receive a lighting signal from the touch substrate 400, and control the color-changing element 320 to switch from the transparent state to the reflective state. Specifically, the specific type of the color-changing member 320 is not particularly limited as long as it can switch between a transparent state and a reflective state.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 3 and fig. 4, the color-changing element 310 may be an electrochromic device, the controller 320 is electrically connected to the touch substrate 400, and the controller 320 may switch the electrochromic device from a transparent state to a colored state when the touch substrate 400 receives a touch signal. Therefore, after the electrochromic device is switched to the colored state, ambient light can be reflected, so that the fingerprint identification area 110 can be highlighted, and after the electrochromic device is switched to the colored state, the reflective state can be maintained without supplying power to the electrochromic device, so that the energy consumption is reduced, and the use performance of the display panel 1000 is improved.
Specifically, referring to fig. 4, when the color changing assembly 310 is an electrochromic device, the color changing assembly may include a first substrate 311 and a second substrate 315 that are oppositely disposed, and a first transparent conductive layer 312 and a second transparent conductive layer 314 that are disposed between the first substrate 311 and the second substrate 315, wherein an electrochromic layer 315 is disposed between the first transparent conductive layer 312 and the second transparent conductive layer 314, and the controller 320 may be connected to the first transparent conductive layer 312 and the second transparent conductive layer 314. Therefore, after receiving the lighting signal, the controller 320 may control the voltages applied to the first transparent conductive layer 312 and the second transparent conductive layer 314, so as to switch the electrochromic layer 313 from the transparent state to the colored state, and the electrochromic device in the colored state may reflect the ambient light, so as to highlight the fingerprint identification area 110, and reduce power consumption.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the color changing assembly 310 is an electrochromic device, an orthographic projection of the color changing assembly 310 on the substrate 100 may cover the entire substrate 100, and at this time, the first transparent conductive layer 312 and the second transparent conductive layer 314 may both be partitioned electrodes, that is, the first transparent conductive layer 312 and the second transparent conductive layer 314 may independently control the color of the electrochromic layer 300 in the area corresponding to the fingerprint identification area 110 to change from a transparent state to a colored state, so as to highlight the fingerprint identification area 110. Therefore, when the color-changing assembly 310 is only arranged in the area corresponding to the fingerprint identification area 110, when the display panel is in a transparent state, the light transmittance of the area corresponding to the fingerprint identification area 110 is relatively poor (lower than that of the area without the color-changing assembly 310) due to the arrangement of the color-changing assembly 310 (including a multilayer structure), so that the consistency of the display panel in the transparent state is influenced, and the appearance effect of the display panel is influenced.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 5, the color changing element 310 may further include a scattering layer, the controller 320 is electrically connected to the touch substrate 400, and the controller 320 may energize the scattering layer when the touch substrate 400 receives a touch signal, so as to deflect the liquid crystal Material in the scattering layer, and switch the liquid crystal Material from a transparent state to a scattering state, where the scattering layer may include a Polymer Network liquid crystal Material (PNM liquid crystal Material), and after the scattering layer is switched to the scattering state, the scattering layer may scatter ambient light, so as to highlight the fingerprint identification region 110, and the scattering layer does not need to be continuously energized to maintain the highlighted state of the fingerprint identification region 110, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving the usability of the display panel 1000.
According to still other embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 6, the color changing assembly 310 may include two transparent substrates 10A and 10B disposed opposite to each other, and liquid crystal molecules 20 and a non-circular polarizer 30 sandwiched between the transparent substrates 10A and 10B, the transparent substrates 10A and 10B may be transparent electrodes, such as Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), and the non-circular polarizer 30 is disposed on one side of the transparent substrate 10 away from the liquid crystal molecules 20 and close to the touch substrate 400 (i.e., the non-circular polarizer 30 is disposed on one side of the transparent substrate 10A away from the liquid crystal molecules 20). The non-circular polarizer 30 and the liquid crystal molecular layer 20 are laminated to form a circular polarizer. Specifically, the retardation of the liquid crystal molecules 20 may be 1/4 λ, that is, the retardation of the liquid crystal molecules 20 may be 550nm, and the included angle between the slow axis of the liquid crystal molecules 20 and the non-circular polarizer 30 may be 45 °, so that the liquid crystal molecules 20 and the non-circular polarizer 30 may form a circular polarizer after being stacked.
Specifically, the orthographic projection of the color changing component 310 on the substrate 110 may cover the fingerprint identification region 110 and at least a portion of the area other than the fingerprint identification region 110 (e.g., referring to fig. 6 showing that the orthographic projection of the color changing component 310 on the substrate 110 covers the entire display substrate 100). Specifically, the transparent substrates 10A and 10B may be divisional electrodes, that is, the transparent substrates 10A and 10B may independently control the liquid crystal molecules of the fingerprint identification area corresponding region and the liquid crystal molecules of the non-fingerprint identification area corresponding region to be deflected. Specifically, when fingerprint identification is required, the touch substrate 400 receives a touch signal and sends a lighting signal to the controller 320, the controller 320 receives the lighting signal and controls the transparent substrates 10A and 10B to deflect only the liquid crystal molecules in the area corresponding to the fingerprint identification area 110, so that the liquid crystal molecules 20 in the area corresponding to the fingerprint identification area 110 can be deflected, the deflected liquid crystal molecules 20 and the non-circular polarizer 30 above the deflected liquid crystal molecules can be superposed to reflect ambient light, and the fingerprint identification area 110 can be highlighted. Specifically, after receiving the lighting signal, the controller 320 may also control the transparent substrates 10A and 10B to make the liquid crystal molecules in the area corresponding to the fingerprint identification area 110 and the liquid crystal molecules in the area corresponding to the non-fingerprint identification area have different deflection angles, so that the light reflected by the liquid crystal molecules 20 in the area corresponding to the fingerprint identification area 110 and the non-circular polarizer 30 above the liquid crystal molecules may be different from the light reflected by the liquid crystal molecules 20 in the area corresponding to the non-fingerprint identification area and the non-circular polarizer 30 above the non-fingerprint identification area, and the fingerprint identification area 110 may also be highlighted. Moreover, when the display panel is in a transparent state (i.e., the fingerprint identification area 110 is not required to be highlighted), the light transmittances of all the parts of the display panel are relatively consistent, and the appearance consistency is relatively good. Note that, the above-mentioned "liquid crystal molecules 20 in the area corresponding to the fingerprint identification area 110" means: the orthographic projection on the display substrate 100 is the liquid crystal molecules 20 located in the fingerprint identification area 100.
To sum up, this display panel makes fingerprint identification district prominent display through setting up fingerprint prompt module, usable ambient light, has reduced the energy consumption, has promoted user experience.

In this step, the controller receives a lighting signal. According to the embodiment of the invention, as mentioned above, the display panel needs to make the fingerprint identification area highlighted before fingerprint identification is performed, so as to facilitate the user operation. Therefore, before fingerprint recognition is performed, the controller needs to receive a lighting signal (i.e., a signal for highlighting the fingerprint recognition area). According to an embodiment of the invention, referring to fig. 8, before this step, the method further comprises:
s300: the touch substrate detects a touch signal
In this step, the touch substrate detects a touch signal. According to the embodiment of the present invention, as described above, before the fingerprint identification is performed on the display panel, a user touches the screen with a finger or a stylus, and after the touch substrate detects the touch signal, the subsequent steps may be performed to start the fingerprint prompting module, so that the fingerprint identification area is highlighted, thereby facilitating the user operation.
S400: sends out a lighting signal to the controller
In this step, after the touch substrate detects the touch signal in the previous step, a lighting signal is sent to the controller. According to the embodiment of the invention, the touch panel is electrically connected with the controller of the fingerprint prompt module, so that the touch substrate can send a lighting signal to the controller after detecting the touch signal.
