Preferably, the row and columns of second OLED pixels include pixels of multiple colors, and each column of pixels of different colors in a row forms a pixel unit.

Because the second OLED pixels in the transparent display area in a row and a plurality of columns comprise pixels with a plurality of colors, and each column of pixels with different colors in the row form a pixel unit, the transparent display area can display pictures with a plurality of colors, thereby enriching the implementation mode.

Preferably, all the second OLED pixels in the columns in the transparent display area are same color pixels.

Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the invention, as detailed in the appended claims.

In the related art, as shown in fig. 1, there is a full-screen 1 including a non-transparent display region 11 and a transparent display region 12, and the transparent display region 12 can implement both a light transmission function and a display function. Wherein, a photosensitive element such as a camera, a distance sensor, etc. is arranged below the transparent display area 12. Because the pixels in the transparent display area 12 and the pixels in the non-transparent display area 11 are different in material or structure, the display brightness of the transparent display area 12 and the non-transparent display area 11 is greatly different, and thus an obvious boundary exists between the transparent display area and the non-transparent display area, which affects user experience.

In view of the above technical problems, embodiments of the present invention provide an OLED array substrate, a display panel and a display device, which can solve the above technical problems, gradually transition display luminance from a non-transparent display area to a transparent display area, avoid an obvious boundary between the non-transparent display area and the transparent display area, and improve display quality.

An embodiment of the present invention provides an OLED array substrate, as shown in fig. 2, including: a non-transparent display area 11, a transparent display area 12 and a transition area 13. The transition region 13 is located between the transparent display region 12 and the non-transparent display region 11.

The non-transparent display region 11 includes first OLED pixels (not shown) arranged in an array, and the first anodes of the first OLED pixels are non-transparent anodes. The transparent display area 12 includes second OLED pixels (not shown) arranged in an array. The second anode of the second OLED pixel is a transparent anode. The transition zone 13 comprises a transition zone of a first type.

As shown in fig. 3, the first-type transition region at least includes a plurality of third OLED pixels R, G or B arranged in an array. The third anode 15 of the third OLED pixel R, G or B comprises a non-transparent anode region 151 and a transparent anode region 152. In a plurality of the third OLED pixels R, G or B in the direction F from the non-transparent display region 11 to the transparent display region 12, the ratio of the area of the opaque anode region 151 in one of the third anodes 15 to the area of the entire third anode 15 decreases in sequence, and the ratio of the area of the transparent anode region 152 to the area of the entire third anode 15 increases in sequence.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, one pixel (the first OLED pixel, the second OLED pixel, or the third OLED pixel) is a pixel of one color, the light emitting structure layer of one pixel is connected into a whole and corresponds to an evaporation opening of a mask, a normal pixel corresponds to an integral anode, an anode corresponding to one pixel in the transition region includes 2 regions, that is, a non-transparent anode region and a transparent anode region, the 2 anode regions together form an anode corresponding to one pixel in the transition region, and potentials of the 2 anode regions during operation are the same.

In an embodiment of the present invention, a transition region is disposed between the transparent display region and the non-transparent display region, wherein the first anode of the first OLED pixel in the non-transparent display region is a non-transparent anode capable of reflecting light emitted by the light emitting layer of the first OLED pixel, the second anode of the second OLED pixel in the transparent display region is a transparent anode capable of transmitting light emitted by the light emitting layer of the second OLED pixel, and the transition region includes a first-type transition region. The first-class transition region at least comprises a plurality of third OLED pixels which are arranged in an array mode, the third anodes of the third OLED pixels comprise non-transparent anode regions and transparent anode regions, in the third OLED pixels in the direction from the non-transparent display regions to the transparent display regions, the proportion of the area of the non-transparent anode region in one third anode to the area of the whole third anode is reduced in sequence, and the proportion of the area of the transparent anode region to the area of the whole third anode is increased in sequence. Because the third anode comprises the non-transparent anode region and the transparent anode region, the display brightness of the transition region is smaller than that of the non-transparent display region and larger than that of the transparent display region. Moreover, in the third OLED pixels in the direction from the non-transparent display area to the transparent display area, the ratio of the area of the opaque anode region in one third anode to the area of the entire third anode decreases in sequence, and the ratio of the area of the transparent anode region to the area of the entire third anode increases in sequence, so that the luminance of the transition region gradually decreases in the direction from the non-transparent display area to the transparent display area, that is, the display luminance gradually transitions from the non-transparent display area to the transparent display area, thereby avoiding an obvious boundary between the non-transparent display area and the transparent display area, and improving the display quality.

The second embodiment of the invention also provides an OLED array substrate. In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, on the basis of the first embodiment of the present invention, in a direction in which the non-transparent display area 11 points to the transparent display area 12, the non-transparent anode area 151 of the third anode 15 is located at a side close to the non-transparent display area 11, and the transparent anode area 152 of the third anode 15 is located at a side close to the transparent display area 12.

The third embodiment of the invention also provides an OLED array substrate. In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, on the basis of the first or second embodiment of the present invention, in a direction F in which the non-transparent display area 11 points to the transparent display area 12, the first-type transition area includes K first-type sub-transition areas arranged in sequence, where K is a natural number; the ratio of the area of the non-transparent anode region 151 to the area of the transparent anode region 152 of each of said third anodes 15 is substantially the same in the same said first type of sub-transition region. In the same first-type sub-transition region, the ratio of the area of the non-transparent anode region to the area of the transparent anode region of each third anode is basically the same, so that the preparation is convenient and the preparation process is simplified.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the greater the number of the first type sub-transition regions, the more beneficial the transition of the display brightness from the non-transparent display region 11 to the transparent display region 12 is. In practical applications, the number of the first type sub-transition regions in the transition region may be determined according to the smoothness of the luminance transition from the non-transparent display region to the transparent display region. Specifically, K is 1, 2 or 3.

The fourth embodiment of the invention also provides an OLED array substrate. In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and fig. 4, on the basis of the third embodiment of the present invention, when K is 3, in a direction F in which the non-transparent display area 11 points to the transparent display area 12, the K first-type sub-transition areas include a first sub-transition area 131, a second sub-transition area 132, and a third sub-transition area 133 that are sequentially arranged.

In the direction in which the non-transparent display area 11 points to the transparent display area 12, each first type sub-transition area comprises a third OLED pixel. In the first sub-transition region, the proportion of the area of the opaque anode region 151 of the third anode 15 in each third OLED pixel to the area of the entire third anode 15 is 70% to 80%, and the proportion of the area of the transparent anode region 152 of the third anode 15 to the area of the entire third anode 15 is 30% to 20%; in the second sub-transition region, the proportion of the area of the opaque anode region 151 of the third anode 15 in each third OLED pixel to the total third anode area is 50%, and the proportion of the area of the transparent anode region 152 of the third anode 15 to the total third anode 15 area is 50%; in the third sub-transition region, the ratio of the area of the opaque anode region 151 of the third anode 15 to the entire third anode 15 in each third OLED pixel is 30% -20%, and the ratio of the area of the transparent anode region 152 of the third anode 15 to the entire third anode 15 is 70% -80%.
