Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all 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 application.
The OLED display panel is known as a "dream display" and is favored by various large display manufacturers. An OLED display panel, particularly an Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display panel, similar to a liquid crystal display panel, includes a gate driving circuit, a source driving circuit, and sub-pixel units arranged in an array, where the sub-pixel units are located in a display region, the gate driving circuit is located in the gate driving circuit region, the gate driving circuit and the source driving circuit are respectively connected to the sub-pixel units, and the gate driving circuit includes a plurality of shift registers.
In the OLED display panel with the single-gate driving circuit, the gate driving circuit is positioned at one side of a display area, and the gate driving circuit scans each row of sub-pixel units from one end of the row of sub-pixel units through a plurality of shift registers. However, when the number of sub-pixel units in each row is large, the sub-pixel units located at the far end of the row may have a problem of insufficient driving, thereby affecting the display effect. In the OLED display panel having the dual gate driving circuit, the gate driving circuits are located in the gate driving circuit regions on both sides of the display region, and thus the area of the non-display region at the boundary of the OLED display panel increases, making it difficult to realize narrow-frame display. For example, please refer to fig. 1, which shows a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of an OLED display panel provided in the related art, as shown in fig. 1, the OLED display panel is a flat display panel, and the OLED display panel has a display area F, and a gate driving circuit area S1 and a gate driving circuit area S2 located at two sides of the display area F, and the OLED display panel is difficult to implement narrow-frame display.
The OLED display panel can comprise a substrate base plate, when the substrate base plate of the OLED display panel is a flexible base plate, the OLED display panel is a flexible display panel, and the OLED display panel can be manufactured into the display panel with functions of bypassing, folding and the like by matching with a certain technology. For example, in connection with ring-shaped articles used daily, OLED display panels may be fabricated as ring-shaped display panels.
As known to the inventor, two opposite side surfaces of the OLED display panel shown in fig. 1, for example, a side surface close to the gate driving circuit region S1 and a side surface of the gate driving circuit region S2, may be bent toward the non-display surface of the OLED display panel so that the two side surfaces are in contact (i.e., the two side surfaces are in contact) to form a ring-shaped display panel, in which the gate driving circuit region S1 and the gate driving circuit region S2 are in contact to form a bonding region, the width of the bonding region is at least the sum of the widths of the gate driving circuit region S1 and the gate driving circuit region S2, the width of the bonding region is large, narrow boundary display of the ring-shaped display panel is difficult to achieve, and the bonding region affects the beauty of the ring-shaped display. As known to the inventor, opposite sides of the OLED display panel shown in fig. 1 may also be bent to face the non-display surface of the OLED display panel, so that the gate driving circuit region S1 and the gate driving circuit region S2 are stacked to form a ring-shaped display panel, the gate driving circuit region S1 and the gate driving circuit region S2 are stacked to form a bonding region, the width of the bonding region may be equal to the width of the gate driving circuit region, but in the ring-shaped display panel, the thickness of the bonding region is equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the gate driving circuit region S1 and the gate driving circuit region S2, and the thicknesses of the gate driving circuit region S1 and the gate driving circuit region S2 are generally equal to the thickness of the display region, which results in the thickness of the bonding region being greater than the thickness of the display region, so that there is a difference in thickness between the bonding region and the display region.
In view of this, how to reduce the width of the bonding region, achieve narrow boundary display of the annular display panel, and reduce the thickness step difference existing between the bonding region and the display region becomes one of the concerns of future research.
The embodiment of the application provides an annular display panel, a manufacturing method thereof and an annular display device, wherein in the annular display panel, the width of a combination area is smaller than or equal to that of a grid driving circuit area, and the thickness of the combination area is equal to that of a display area, so that narrow-boundary display of the annular display panel is facilitated, and the influence of the thickness difference between the combination area and the display area on the display effect of the annular display panel can be avoided. For details of the present application, reference is made to the following description of examples.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the widths of the two gate driving circuit regions are equal, and the width w of the bonding region B is equal to the width of the gate driving circuit region, so that the width w of the bonding region B may be half of the sum of the widths of the two gate driving circuit regions, which is convenient for implementing narrow-boundary display of the annular display panel.
