It can be understood that the light transmittance of the conventional display device is low, and the effect of capturing images by the camera through the display device is poor. Therefore, the display device can be arranged in a partitioned mode, such as setting the light transmittance of the display device corresponding to the camera part to be larger than the light transmittance of other positions of the display device, and the effect of image acquisition by the camera can be improved. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. The electronic device 10 may be a computing device such as a laptop computer, a computer monitor including an embedded computer, a tablet computer, a cellular telephone, a media player, or other handheld or portable electronic device, a smaller device (such as a wristwatch device, a hanging device, a headset or earpiece device, a device embedded in glasses or other device worn on the head of a user, or other wearable or miniature device), a television, a computer display not including an embedded computer, a gaming device, a navigation device, an embedded system (such as a system in which an electronic device with a display is installed in a kiosk or automobile), a device implementing the functionality of two or more of these devices, or other electronic device. In the exemplary configuration of fig. 1, the electronic device 10 is a portable device such as a cellular telephone, media player, tablet, or other portable computing device. Other configurations may be used for the electronic device 10 if desired. Fig. 1 is merely exemplary.

With continued reference to fig. 1, the electronic device 10 includes a display device 20, and the display device 20 may display a screen. The display device 20 may be an Organic Light-Emitting Diode display device 20 (OLED). The display surface of the display device 20 may have a larger display area and a narrower non-display area, or the display device 20 may have a narrower black border. Of course, the display surfaces of the display device 20 may be all display areas, and no non-display areas are provided, i.e., the display device 20 may be a full screen. Display device 20 may be protected using a display device cover layer such as a transparent glass layer, light transmissive plastic, sapphire, or other transparent dielectric layer.

The display device 20 may have a regular shape, such as a rectangle, a rounded rectangle, or a circle. Of course, in some other possible embodiments, the display device 20 may also have an irregular shape, which is not limited in this embodiment.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a first structure of a display device in the electronic apparatus shown in fig. 1. The display device 20 may include a first display area 240 and a second display area 220, and the first display area 240 and the second display area 220 may each display a screen, and the first display area 240 and the second display area 220 may display the same screen or different screens.

The first display area 240 and the second display area 220 may be adjacent to each other, such as a periphery of the first display area 240 being surrounded by the second display area 220. For example, a portion of the first display area 240 is surrounded by the second display area 220, that is, the first display area 240 is located at an end position or an end connection position of the display device 20. It is understood that the end face connection position of the display device 20 is a position where both end faces of the display device 20 are connected to each other, and may include a portion of both end faces connected to each other. Note that, the number of the first display areas 240 may be one or more, and when the number of the first display areas 240 is more than one, the number of the first display areas 240 may be located on the same end face of the display device 20, on a plurality of end faces of the display device 20, or at a plurality of end face connection positions of the display device 20. Or a part of the plurality of first display areas 240 is located at an end surface connection position of the display device 20 and a part is located at an end surface position of the display device 20.

In this embodiment, the display area of the second display area 220 may be set to be larger than the display area of the first display area 240, the second display area 220 may be used as a main display area of the display device 20, and the first display area 240 may be used as an auxiliary display area of the display device 20, or may be a functional display area. Such as the light transmittance of the first display area 240 may be set to be greater than the light transmittance of the second display area 220. Thus, the light transmittance of the first display area 240 may be greatly improved in the non-display state of the first display area 240, and a sensor of the electronic device 100, such as the camera 60, may be disposed at the position of the first display area 240, so as to improve the quality of signal transmission achieved by the sensor, such as the camera 60, through the first display area 240.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the display area of the first display area 240 and the display area of the second display area 220 may be set to be the same, and the display area of the first display area 240 may be set to be larger than the display area of the second display area 220.

In the embodiment of the present application, the device such as the camera 60 and the sensor may be disposed below the first display area 240, where the device such as the camera 60 and the sensor may perform signal transmission such as image acquisition in the first display area 240 when the first display area 240 is in the non-display state. Meanwhile, the first display area 240 may display a picture according to the requirement, so as to achieve the integrity of the display device 20 and the integrity of the display area. Not only is a hidden design of the camera 60, sensor, etc. realized, but the screen duty cycle of the electronic device 10 can also be increased.

It should be noted that, the position where the sensor of the electronic device 10, such as the camera 60, is disposed is not limited to the lower portion of the first display area 240, and may be disposed away from the first display area 240, and a light guiding column may be disposed between the sensor, such as the camera 60, and the first display area 240, so as to realize signal transmission. The light guiding column may transmit the light signal emitted by the light sensor such as the camera 60 to the first display area 240, and transmit the light to the outside of the electronic device 10 through the first display area 240. The light guide column may also transmit an external light signal of the light-transmitting first display area 240 to a light sensor such as the camera 60. The light guide column can be of a cylindrical structure or a multi-section structure. When the light guide column is of a multi-section structure, the light guide column can be provided with at least one light guide surface so as to realize the reflection of the light signals.

In order to set the light transmittance of the first display area 240 to be greater than the light transmittance of the second display area 220, the embodiment of the present application may set a driving unit such as a Thin Film Transistor (TFT) driving the first display area 240 in the display device 20 outside the first display area 240. Such as in a driving layer structure in the display device 20 that drives the second display area 220, such as at a side or periphery of the display device 20, and such as in a non-display area of the display device 20. For example, a dual driving layer structure is further provided in the display device 20, and a driving unit such as a TFT for driving the first display area 240 is provided in the driving layer structure corresponding to the second display area 220 in a via manner.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the display device shown in fig. 2 along the direction P2-P2. The display device 20 may include an upper substrate 250, a display layer 210, a driving layer 230, and a lower substrate 270, which are sequentially stacked. The display device 20 can drive the display layer 210 through the driving layer 230 to display a picture. In which, the upper and lower substrates 250 and 270 may each be made of a transparent material, such as transparent glass. The lower substrate 270 may be defined as a first substrate, and the upper substrate 250 may be defined as a second substrate.

Wherein the display layer 210 may include a plurality of pixels, wherein the display layer 210 includes the second display portion 212 located in the second display area 220 and the first display portion 214 located in the first display area 240, i.e., the display layer 210 may include a plurality of second pixels located in the second display area 220 and a plurality of first pixels located in the first display area 240. The plurality of second pixels and the plurality of first pixels may each be arranged in an array. The arrangement of the first pixels 242 of the first display area 240 may be one of a standard RGB arrangement, a Pentile arrangement, or a Delta arrangement, and the arrangement of the second pixels 222 of the second display area 220 may be one of a standard RGB arrangement, a Pentile arrangement, or a Delta arrangement. It should be noted that other arrangements of the first pixels 242 in the first display area 240 and other arrangements of the second pixels 222 in the second display area 220 are also possible.

It should be understood that references herein to "a plurality" are to two or more.

In order to further improve the light transmittance of the first display area 240, the first pixels of the first display area 240 may be made of a light-transmitting material. Of course, in other embodiments, the arrangement of the plurality of first pixels may be sparse compared to the second pixels, i.e. the distribution density of the first pixels may be smaller than the distribution density of the second pixels.

The driving layer 230 may include a plurality of driving units, each of which may drive one pixel. Wherein the driving layer 230 includes a plurality of first driving units for driving the first display area 240 and a plurality of second driving units for driving the second display area 220. Each first driving unit can be electrically connected with one first pixel and can drive one first pixel. Each second driving unit is electrically connected with one second pixel and can drive one second pixel. The driving layer 230 may include a second driving part 232 located in the second display area 220 and a first driving part 234 located in the first display area 240, a plurality of second driving units may be disposed in the second driving part 232, and a plurality of first driving units may be disposed in the first driving part 234.

The driving unit may be one of 2T1C, 5T1C, 7T1C, and the like. For example, the first driving unit may employ one of 2T1C, 5T1C, 7T1C, and the second driving unit may employ one of 2T1C, 5T1C, 7T1C. Wherein T represents a thin film transistor, and wherein C represents a capacitance. In order to improve the light transmittance of the first display area 240, the first driving unit disposed in the first display area 240 may be a driving circuit that is shorter than the main driving unit of the second display area 220, such as the first driving unit including fewer thin film transistors than the second driving unit. For example, the first driving unit may employ one of 2T1C and 5T1C, and the second driving unit may employ 7T1C. The number of the thin film transistors in the first driving unit, which are opaque, is smaller, and the opaque portions in the first display area 240 are smaller, so that the light transmittance of the first display area 240 can be improved.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a first partial schematic diagram of the display device shown in fig. 2. The physical structures of the second pixels 242 of the second display area 220 and the first pixels 222 of the first display area 240 may be set to be the same, or the second display area 220 and the first display area 240 may have the same physical structure of pixels. Such as the second pixel 222 having the same size as the first pixel 242, and the second pixel 222 having the same arrangement as the first pixel 242. Can be formed in the same process. It should be noted that the physical structures of the second pixels 222 of the second display area 220 and the first pixels 242 of the first display area 240 may also be different. For example, the size of the second pixel is larger than the size of the first pixel, and for example, the arrangement density of the second pixel is larger than the arrangement density of the first pixel. Note that fig. 4 only shows some pixels of the display device 20, and the area formed by the arrangement of the first pixels 242 and the area formed by the arrangement of the second pixels 222 shown in fig. 4 are substantially the same.

Wherein the size and shape of the first pixels 242 in the first display area 240 may be set as desired. For example, the first pixels 242 may be rectangular, but may also be quasi-circular. The first pixel 242 of the quasi-circular shape may be circular, elliptical, or rounded rectangular, etc. The rounded-like first pixels 242 may improve diffraction problems of the first display area 240 because the edges are curved transitions.

The first display area 240 may have a plurality of first pixel sets 244, and each first pixel set 244 may include a plurality of first pixels 242 connected in parallel. One of the first pixel sets 244 may include at least two first pixels 242, which may include at least two first pixels 242 of the same color, such as red pixels. One first set of pixels 244 may also include at least two different colored first pixels 242, such as a red pixel and a green pixel. The plurality of first pixels 242 in the first pixel set 244 may be connected together by a plurality of signal lines, which may be made of a light transmissive material.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a second partial schematic view of the display device shown in fig. 2. Fig. 5 illustrates a plurality of second driving units 224 of the second display area 220 and a plurality of first driving units 246 of the first display area 240. One of the second driving units 224 may be electrically connected to one of the second pixels 222, and one of the second driving units 224 may drive one of the second pixels 222. Each first pixel set 244 may be electrically connected to one first driving unit 246, and one first driving unit 246 may drive one first pixel set 244, i.e., one first driving unit 246 may drive all first pixels 242 in one first pixel set 244. Compared with a driving unit for driving one pixel, the embodiment of the application can reduce the number of the first driving units. The present embodiment may provide the first driving unit 246 at the first display area 240, such as at the first driving part 234. Since driving of the plurality of first pixels 242 in the first display area 240 can be achieved using fewer first driving units 246, light transmittance of the first display area 240 can be improved. It should be noted that fig. 5 only shows a part of the second driving units 224 and a part of the first driving units 246 of the display device 20, and the area formed by the arrangement of the first driving units 246 shown in fig. 5 is substantially the same as the area formed by the arrangement of the second driving units 224.

The embodiment of the present application may use one first pixel set 244 as one first display unit of the first display area 240, that is, the minimum unit of the display screen of the first display area 240. For example, the first pixel set 244 as one first display unit includes four first pixels 242 of the same color, sixteen first pixels 242 of the same color. For another example, the first pixel set 244 as a first display unit includes a plurality of first pixels 242 having different colors. The plurality of second pixels 222 of the second display area 220 may form one second display unit, or the second pixel unit, such as the second pixel unit of the second display area 220 includes one red pixel, one green pixel, and one blue pixel. Of course, the second pixel unit of the second display area 220 may further include other pixels, such as a white pixel or a yellow pixel.

In the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of first pixel sets 244 may be used as one first display unit, for example, three first pixel sets 244 may be used as one first display unit, and for example, four first pixel sets 244 may be used as one light-transmitting display unit. The first pixel set 244 as one of the first display units may include four first pixels 242 of the same color or sixteen first pixels 242 of the same color. For example, one first display unit comprises three first sets of pixels 244, one first set of pixels 244 of the three first sets of pixels 244 comprising four red pixels, another first set of pixels 244 comprising four green pixels, and a third first set of pixels 244 comprising four blue pixels.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a first arrangement of a first display unit in the first display area in the display device shown in fig. 2. One first display unit 216a of the first display area 240 may include three first pixel sets 244, which may be the first pixel set 244a, the first pixel set 244b, and the first pixel set 244c. The first set of pixels 244a may include four red pixels 242 (R), the first set of pixels 244B may include four green pixels 242 (G), and the first set of pixels 244c may include four blue pixels 242 (B). It should be noted that the arrangement of the plurality of first pixel sets in one first display unit is not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating a second arrangement of a first display unit in the first display area in the display device shown in fig. 2. One first display unit 216b of the first display area 240 may include three first pixel sets 244, which may be a first pixel set 244d, a first pixel set 244e, and a first pixel set 244f. The first set of pixels 244d may include four red pixels 242, the first set of pixels 244e may include four green pixels 242, and the first set of pixels 244f may include four blue pixels 242.

Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a third arrangement of a first display unit in the first display area in the display device shown in fig. 2. One first display unit 216c of the first display area 240 may include three first pixel sets 244, which may be a first pixel set 244h, a first pixel set 244i, and a first pixel set 244j. The first set of pixels 244h may include four red pixels 242, the first set of pixels 244i may include four green pixels 242, and the first set of pixels 244j may include four blue pixels 242.

Referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating a fourth arrangement of a first display unit in the first display area in the display device shown in fig. 2. One first display unit 216d of the first display area 240 may include three first pixel sets 244, which may be a first pixel set 244k, a first pixel set 244m, and a first pixel set 244n. The first set of pixels 244k may include four red pixels 242, the first set of pixels 244m may include four green pixels 242, and the first set of pixels 244n may include four blue pixels 242.

It is understood that when one first display unit of the first display area 240 includes four first pixel sets 244, the first pixels 242 included in each of the four first pixel sets 244 are the same color, such as one first pixel set 244 including a plurality of red pixels, a second first pixel set 244 including a plurality of green pixels, a third first pixel set 244 including a plurality of blue pixels, a fourth first pixel set 244 including a plurality of white pixels, or a fourth first pixel set 244 including a plurality of yellow pixels.

Fig. 6 to 9 only show several arrangements of one first display unit in the first display area 240 of the display device 20, and other arrangements of one first display unit in the first display area 240 of the embodiment of the present application are also possible.

In some embodiments, in order to increase the light transmittance of the first display area, the size of the first pixels in the first display area may be set to be larger than the second pixels in the second display area, and the arrangement of the first pixels in the first display area may be more sparse than the arrangement of the second pixels in the second display area. Thus, the first pixel of the first display area and the second pixel of the second display area have different pixel physical structures. In a practical process, since the first pixel in the first display area and the second pixel in the second display area have different physical structures of pixels, different masks (or called masks) are used to form the pixel structure through a series of processes such as exposure, development, cleaning, and the like. A first pixel, such as a first display area, is formed by a first set of processes using a first type of mask and a second pixel, such as a second display area, is formed by a second set of processes using a second type of mask. Not only are additional photomasks and tools required, but also the process is increased, the processing cost and the complexity are increased, and the yield of the molded pixels is reduced.

In order to save tools and process, the first pixel of the first display area and the second pixel of the second display area can be formed under the condition of the same process, the same photomask and other tools, so that the pixel physical structures of the first pixel of the first display area and the second pixel of the second display area are the same. However, if the pixel physical structures of the first pixel of the first display area and the second pixel of the second display area are the same, and the driving manners of the first pixel of the first display area and the second pixel of the second display area are the same, the first display area may be provided with too many wirings and the first driving unit, and the too many wirings may affect the light transmittance of the first display area.

Based on the related scheme, in order to solve the technical process and the technical cost, meanwhile, the arrangement of signal wires in the first display area can be reduced, so that the arrangement of wires in the first display area is facilitated, the light transmittance of the first display area is improved, and at least two pixels in the first display area are connected in parallel to form a first pixel group. The plurality of first pixels can be connected to the same signal line after being connected in parallel, compared with the mode that each first pixel is connected with one signal line, the number of the signal lines can be greatly saved, the arrangement of the signal lines is convenient, and meanwhile the light transmittance of the first display area can be improved.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, at least two first pixels in the first display area are connected in parallel to form a first pixel group, so that the wiring can be changed at the position of the display layer of the first display area on the premise of not changing the physical structure of the pixels of the whole display device, the number of signal lines arranged at the position of the first display area is greatly reduced, and the light transmittance of the first display area is improved.

To further increase the light transmittance of the first display area 240, a part of all the first driving units for driving the first display area 240 may be disposed at the first display area 240 and another part may be disposed at other positions, such as the second display area 220, such as a part of the first driving units disposed at the first driving part 234 and another part disposed at the second driving part 232.

Of course, the embodiment of the present application may also set all the first driving units for driving the first display area 240 at other positions, such as setting all the first driving units at the second display area 220.

It should be noted that if the first driving unit 246 for driving the first pixels 242 in the first display area 240 is disposed in the second display area 220, such as the second driving part 232, routing wires are required. Considering that the wiring occupies a space where the first display area 240 and the second display area 220 are connected, if there are too many lines, the space may not be enough, and thus the thickness may need to be increased to arrange more lines. In order to not increase the thickness of the wiring position additionally and ensure that the connection position of the first display area 240 and the second display area 220 can have enough space wiring, at least two first pixels 242 in the first display area 240 can be connected in parallel to form a first pixel set 244 and then connected to the same signal line, the number of signal lines can be reduced greatly, the occupation of the space by the signal lines can be reduced, and the first driving unit 246 for driving the first pixels 242 in the first display area 240 can be arranged in the second display area 220.

However, it is considered that the second display area 220 is a main display portion of the display device 20. If the first driving units 246 for driving the first display area 240 are all disposed in the second display area 220, the arrangement of the second driving portions 232 in the second display area 240 and the wiring process of the second driving portions 232 may be affected, which may affect the quality and effect of the display image in the second display area 220. To this end, in order to reduce the influence of the first driving unit 246 on the second display area 220, a third display area may be disposed between the second display area 220 and the first display area 240, and a transition may be formed to dispose the first driving unit in the third display area while reducing the influence of the first driving unit 246 on the second display area 220.

Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of a second structure of the display device according to the embodiment of the present application. The display device 20 may also include a third display region 260, which may also be referred to as a transition region. The third display area 260 may connect the second display area 220 and the first display area 240, and the third display area 260 may be connected between the second display area 220 and the first display area 240. The third display area 260 of the present embodiment may space the second display area 220 and the first display area 240 apart from being directly connected. The third display area 260 may also be connected to a portion of the second display area 220 and the first display area 240, and another portion of the second display area 220 and the first display area 240 may also be directly connected. The size of the third display area 260 may be much smaller than the size of the second display area 220, and the first display area 240 and the third display area 260 may together form an auxiliary display area of the display device 20, where the first display area 240 and the third display area 260 may be defined as auxiliary display areas, or auxiliary display areas.

Referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the display device shown in fig. 10 along the direction P4-P4. The display layer 210 may further include a third display portion 216 located in the third display area 260. The third display portion 216 may have a plurality of third pixels arranged therein, and the arrangement of the third pixels may be one of a standard RGB arrangement, a Pentile arrangement, and a Delta arrangement, although other arrangements may be adopted for the third pixels. The driving layer 230 may further include a third driving part 236, and the third driving part 236 may be provided with a plurality of driving units, such as the third driving part 236 is provided with a plurality of third driving units, one of which may be electrically connected with one third pixel, and one of which may drive one third pixel. The third driving unit may employ one of 2T1C, 5T1C, 7T1C. For example, the third driving unit may use 5T1C, the third display area 260 may use 5T1C, the first display area 240 may use 2T1C, and the second display area 220 may use 7T1C. The quality of the display screen of the second display area 220 may be made higher than the quality of the display screen of the third display area 260, and the quality of the display screen of the third display area 260 may be made higher than the quality of the display screen of the first display area 240, and a transition may be made between the first display area 240 and the second display area 220.

Of course, the driving manner of the first display area 240, the second display area 220, and the third display area 260 is not limited thereto. For example, the first display area 240 and the third display area 260 each employ 5T1C, and the second display area 220 employs 7T1C.

Referring to fig. 12, fig. 12 is a first partial schematic view of the display device shown in fig. 10. The arrangement of the third pixels 262 of the third display area 260 may be the same as the arrangement of the second pixels 222 of the second display area 220 or the arrangement of the first pixels 242 of the first display area 240. For example, the second display area 220, the third display area 260, and the first display area 240 have the same physical structure of pixels, and the pixels of the second display area 220, the third display area 260, and the first display area 240 may be formed in the same process. It should be noted that the arrangement of the third pixels 262 in the third display area 260 may also be different from the arrangement of the second pixels 222 in the second display area 220 or the first pixels 242 in the first display area 240. Note that fig. 11 only shows a part of pixels of the display device 20, and the area formed by the arrangement of the first pixels 242, the area formed by the arrangement of the third pixels 262, and the area formed by the arrangement of the second pixels 222 shown in fig. 11 are substantially the same.

All the first driving units for driving the first display area 240 may be disposed in the third display area 260, such as the first driving units disposed in the third display part 236. The driving layer structure of the first display area 240 may be made to have no first driving unit, such as the first driving part 234 of the first display area 240 has no thin film transistor, and the light transmittance of the first display area 240 may be greatly improved. At the same time, other problems caused by the arrangement of the first driving units in the first display area 240, such as diffraction problems caused by the imaging of the camera 60 by the periodically arranged first driving units, and stray light problems caused by the imaging of the camera 60 by the reflection and refraction of the first driving units, can be avoided.

It should be noted that, since the third display area 260 is provided with a plurality of third driving units, the plurality of third driving units occupy the space of the third driving portion 236. The first driving unit is disposed in the third driving part 236, which occupies the space of the third driving part 236, and the wiring occupies the space of the third driving part 236. In order to ensure that the first driving unit may be disposed at the third driving part 236, the wiring of the third driving part 236 may be set thinner to reduce the occupation of the space of a single signal line to accommodate the arrangement of more signal lines.

Of course, the embodiment of the present application may provide the first driving unit in the third driving section 236 without changing the thickness of the wiring in the third driving section 236, and may satisfy the wiring. The number of third driving units of the third display area 260 is reduced.

With continued reference to fig. 12, a plurality of third pixel sets 264 may be disposed in the third display area 260, and each third pixel set 264 may include at least two third pixels 262 connected in parallel, which may include at least two third pixels 262 of the same color, such as red pixels. A third set of pixels 264 may also include at least two third pixels 262 of different colors, such as a red pixel and a green pixel. The plurality of third pixels 262 in one third pixel set 264 may be connected together by a plurality of signal lines. The number of third pixels 262 in one third pixel set 264 may be greater than the number of first pixels 242 in one first pixel set 244, for example, one third pixel set 264 includes four third pixels 262 and one first pixel set 244 includes sixteen first pixels 242. Of course, it is also possible that the number of third pixels 262 in one third pixel set 264 is the same as the number of first pixels 242 in one first pixel set 244.

The embodiment of the application may use a third pixel set 264 as a third display unit of the third display area 260. The third pixel set 264, which is a third display unit, for example, includes two third pixels 262 of the same color and four third pixels 262 of the same color. For another example, the third pixel set 264, which is a third display unit, includes a plurality of third pixels 262 having different colors.

In the embodiment of the application, the plurality of third pixel sets 264 may be used as one third display unit, for example, three third pixel sets 264 may be used as one third display unit, and for example, four third pixel sets 264 may be used as one third display unit. The third pixel set 264 as one of the third display units may include two third pixels 262 of the same color or four third pixels 262 of the same color. For example, one third display unit comprises three third sets of pixels 264, one third set of pixels 264 of the three third sets of pixels 264 comprising four red pixels, another third set of pixels 264 comprising four green pixels, and a third set of pixels 264 comprising four blue pixels. The number of the third pixel sets 264 included in the third display unit and the arrangement of the third pixels 262 in the third display unit can refer to the structure of the first display unit shown in fig. 6 to 9, and will not be described herein.

It is understood that when one third display unit of the third display area 260 includes four third pixel sets 264, the third pixels 262 included in each of the four third pixel sets 264 are the same color, such as one third pixel set 264 including a plurality of red pixels, a second third pixel set 264 including a plurality of green pixels, a third pixel set 264 including a plurality of blue pixels, a fourth third pixel set 264 including a plurality of white pixels, or a fourth third pixel set 264 including a plurality of yellow pixels.

Referring to fig. 13, fig. 13 is a second partial schematic view of the display device shown in fig. 10. Fig. 13 illustrates the plurality of second driving units 224 of the second display area 220, the plurality of third driving units 266 of the third display area 260, and the plurality of first pixel units 246. The second driving unit 224 may refer to the content shown in fig. 5, and will not be described herein. Wherein the plurality of third driving units 266 and the plurality of second display units 246 are located in the third display area 260, such as disposed within the third driving section 236.

The plurality of third driving units 266 are used for driving the third display area 260, each third driving unit 266 may be electrically connected to one third pixel set 264, one third driving unit 266 may drive one third pixel set 264, that is, one third driving unit 266 may drive all third pixels 262 in one third pixel set 264. Compared with one driving unit driving one pixel, the number of the third driving units can be reduced, so that the occupation of the third driving unit to the space of the third driving part 236 can be reduced, and the first driving unit 246 can be arranged. Such as one third pixel set 264 including four third pixels 262 connected in parallel, one third driving unit 266 may occupy a space corresponding to one third pixel 262 or be slightly smaller than a space corresponding to the third pixel 262. Accordingly, one third pixel set 264 may leave a space corresponding to at least three third pixels 262, and a plurality of first pixel units 264, such as three first driving units 246, may be disposed in the left space. The three third pixels 262 left free may be disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the three first driving units 246.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, at least two third pixels 262 in the third display area 260 may be connected in parallel to form a third pixel set 264, driving a plurality of third pixels 262 may be implemented by using one third driving unit 266, and enough space may be reserved in the third driving portion 236 to set the first driving unit 246. Therefore, the opaque thin film transistor in the first display area 240 can be set to the third display area 260 which does not need to transmit the light collecting signals such as the camera, and the size of the third display area 260 can be smaller, and the first display area 240 and the second display area 220 are connected, so that the quality of the display screen of the third display area 260 is deteriorated and the display effect of the whole display device 20 is not greatly influenced under the condition that the display screen of the second display area 220 is not greatly influenced.

In addition, the number of the third pixels 262 connected in parallel with each other in the third display area 260 may be smaller than the number of the first pixels 242 connected in parallel with each other in the first display area 240, and the display transition between the first display area 240 and the second display area 220 may be smoother.

It should be noted that, the position where the first driving unit is disposed in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the third display area 260. For example, a part of the first driving units are disposed in the third display area 260, another part of the first driving units are disposed in the first display area 240, for example, a part of the first driving units are disposed in the third display area 260, another part of the first driving units are disposed in the second display area 220, and for example, the first driving units are divided into three parts and disposed in the first display area 240, the third display area 260 and the second display area 220, respectively.

It should be noted that, the position where the first driving unit is disposed in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the display area, and the first driving unit may be disposed at a side edge of the display device 20 or in a non-display area.

Referring to fig. 14, fig. 14 is a third partial schematic view of the display device shown in fig. 10. The display device 20 may further include a non-display region 280, and the first driving unit 246 driving the first display region 240 may be disposed in the non-display region 280. The display device 20 may be a full screen, i.e. the front side of the display device 20 is substantially the display area, the front side of the display device 20 being substantially identical to the display surface of the electronic device as seen from the front side of the electronic device. However, even with a full-screen display device 20, the edge of the display device 20 may have a non-display area 280, and the non-display area 280 may be understood as a black edge of the display device 20, and the width of the black edge may be very narrow, such as a black edge width of less than 1 mm or 0.5 mm. Because the area of the first display area 240 is small, the number of the first pixels in the first display area 240 is relatively small, and the plurality of first pixels of the first display area 240 may be connected in parallel, the first driving unit 246 driving the first display area 240 may be reduced, the first driving unit 246 may be disposed at a black position, the light transmittance of the first display area 240 may be improved, and the second display area 220 or the third display area 260 may not be affected. A plurality of first driving units 246 are required to be disposed corresponding to the first pixels of the first display area 240, and the first driving units 246 may be all disposed at the black position.

In order to better accommodate all of the first driving units 246 in the black side position, simpler first driving units 246 may be used, for example, the first driving units 246 may employ 2T1C, 5T1C, etc. driving circuits, so that the number of thin film transistors in each first driving unit 246 may be smaller, and less space is required for a single first driving unit 246. The first pixel distribution density in the first display area 240 may also be set lower, and the total number of the first driving units 246 used to drive the first display area 240 is smaller. It should be noted that the plurality of first driving units 246 may also be partially disposed in the non-display area 280, and partially disposed in other positions, such as the first display area 240 or the third display area 260.

Note that, the manner of increasing the light transmittance of the first display area 240 in the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto, and other manners may be adopted. For example, the wiring of the display device 20 in the first display area 240 may be provided in a transparent structure to increase the light transmittance of the first display area 240. For example, a polarizing structure may not be disposed at the first display area 240. For example, a passive driving mode may be adopted in the driving unit for driving the first display area 240, so that the wiring and the components in the driving unit may be greatly reduced. It is understood that the solution of increasing the first display area 240 by increasing the light transmittance of the material and changing the arrangement of the wirings is within the scope of the present application.

However, it is understood that since one driving unit may include a plurality of devices such as a plurality of TFTs and capacitors. In order to increase the light transmittance of the first display area 240, not only the entire structure of the driving unit may be disposed at the first display area 240, but also a part of the structure in one driving unit may be disposed outside the first display area 240. Typically one drive unit such as the first drive unit 246 may comprise a plurality of TFTs and one or two capacitors. Such as at least one TFT in the first driving unit 246 may be disposed outside the first display area 240 and a capacitor may be disposed in the first display area 240. Specifically, all the TFTs may be disposed outside the first display area 240, and only the capacitor may be disposed at the first display area 240. It is also possible that a part of all the TFTs is disposed in the first display area 240 and another part is disposed outside the first display area 240.

It should be noted that at least one TFT of the first driving unit 246 is disposed outside the first display region 240, and may include at least one of the second display region 220, the third display region 260, and the non-display region. The non-display area may include a side of the display device 20, which may be a side of the first display area 240, or may be a side of the second display area 220, or may be a side of the first display area 240, or may be a side of the second display area 220. It will be appreciated that the non-display area may also include the black border described above. It is understood that the side 280 of the display device 20 may also be referred to as a side, etc. of the display device 20. The side 280 is located at an edge position of the display device 20 or a portion of the side 280 around a display area of the display device 20. The display device 20 may have one or more sides 280, and the number of sides 280 is not limited herein.

In this embodiment, the first display area 240 and the second display area 220 may be driven in the same manner, for example, the second display area 220 may be an active driving (AMOLED) display area, and the first display area 240 may also be an active driving display area. Alternatively, the second pixels 222 of the second display area 220 are actively driven, and the first pixels 242 of the first display area 240 are actively driven. It should be noted that the first pixels 242 of the first display area 240 have more first driving units by active driving, for example, one first driving unit corresponds to one first pixel or one first driving unit corresponds to one first pixel set. If a plurality of first driving units are disposed in the first display area 240, the first display area 240 has insufficient light transmittance due to the disposition of more first driving units. If a plurality of first driving units are disposed at other positions such as the second display area 220, the side of the display device 20, etc., it is not easy to arrange the lines. Based on this, the first pixel 242 may be driven by a Passive Mode (PMOLED), that is, the first display region 240 is a passive display region. The passive driving of the first pixel 242 can reduce the number of the first driving units of the first display area 240 and the number of signal lines, such as power lines and scan lines, of the first display area 240 compared with the active driving of the first pixel 242.

The number of the first driving units may be 1, and one first driving unit may control all the first pixels of the first display area 240. Of course, the number of the first driving units may be plural, and one of the first driving units may drive plural first pixels, such as driving plural first pixel sets, and one of the first driving units may drive one or more columns, one or more rows of first pixels.

The first display area 240 in this embodiment may be configured with power lines and scan lines, and the driving device, such as a chip, controls the power lines and scan lines to drive the first display area 240, so that other driving circuits may not be configured in the first display area 240, so as to further improve the light transmittance of the first display area 240.

The voltage of the first pixel 242 driven passively is higher than the voltage of the second pixel 222 driven actively. Based on this, the device and the trace for driving the first pixel 242 and the device and the trace for driving the second pixel 222 are disposed at intervals, so as to prevent crosstalk between the display signal of the first display area 240 and the display signal of the second display area 220, or prevent crosstalk between the high voltage signal for driving the first display area 240 and the signal for driving the second display area 220.

Referring to fig. 15, fig. 15 is a schematic diagram of a third structure of the display device in the electronic apparatus shown in fig. 1. The display device 20 may further include a first display driving chip 292, a first flexible circuit board 294, and a second flexible circuit board 293.

The first flexible circuit board 294 may be electrically connected to the circuits of the second display area 220, such as the first flexible circuit board 294 being electrically connected to a plurality of second driving units of the second display area 220. The first flexible circuit board 294 is further electrically connected to the first display driving chip 292, and the first display driving chip 292 may be electrically connected to the second display area 220 through the first flexible circuit board 294 to drive the second display area 220. The first display driver chip 292 may be electrically connected to A Processor (AP) of the electronic device 10. The first flexible circuit board 294 and the first display driving chip 292 may be disposed at an end surface of the display device 20, such as an end surface remote from the first display area 240.

The second flexible circuit board 293 may be electrically connected to the circuit of the first display area 240, such as the second flexible circuit board 293 is electrically connected to the first driving unit of the first display area 240. The second flexible circuit board 293 may be connected to the processor of the electronic device 10 and the processor of the electronic device 10 may directly power the first display region 240 to drive the first display region 240. Not only can the processor for driving the first display area 240 be spaced apart from the second display driving chip 292 for driving the second display area 220, but also the first flexible circuit board 294 and the second flexible circuit board 293 can be spaced apart, and the number of edge driving chips of the display device 20 can be reduced. The second flexible circuit board 293 may be disposed at an end surface of the display device 20 adjacent to the first display area 240, that is, the first flexible circuit board 294 and the second flexible circuit board 293 are disposed at opposite end surfaces of the display device 20.

Of course, it is also possible in the embodiment of the present application to use the chip driving for the first display area 240 alone.

Referring to fig. 16, fig. 16 is a schematic diagram of a fourth structure of the display device in the electronic apparatus shown in fig. 1. Fig. 16 differs from fig. 15 in that: the first display area 240 in the display device 20 shown in fig. 16 is driven by the second display driving chip 291. Specifically, the second display driving chip 291 is electrically connected to the first display area 240 through the third flexible circuit board 295, such as electrically connected to the first driving unit, to drive the first display area 240. The second display driving chip 291 and the third flexible circuit board 295 may be disposed at the same end surface of the display device 20, such as an end surface near the first display area 240. Thus, the first display driving chip 292 and the second display driving chip 291 are respectively located at opposite end surfaces of the display device 20, and the first flexible circuit board 294 and the third flexible circuit board 295 are respectively located at opposite end surfaces of the display device 20, so that crosstalk of display signals can be prevented.

Referring to fig. 17, fig. 17 is a schematic diagram of a fifth structure of the display device in the electronic apparatus shown in fig. 1. Fig. 17 differs from fig. 16 in that: in the display device 20 shown in fig. 17, the first display driving chip 292 and the second display driving chip 291 are disposed on the same end surface of the display device 20, and the first display driving chip 292 and the second display driving chip 291 are disposed at intervals on the edge of the display device 20, or the first display driving chip 292 and the second display driving chip 291 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the display device 20. It should be noted that, the third flexible circuit board 295 connected to the first display area 240 may be disposed on the non-display surface of the display device 20, and a portion of the third flexible circuit board may be disposed on an end surface of the display device 20 away from the first display area 240 to be electrically connected to the second display driving chip 291. Wherein the third flexible circuit board 295 and the first flexible circuit board 294 are disposed at a distance from each other, crosstalk of display signals can be prevented as well.

Referring to fig. 18, fig. 18 is a schematic diagram illustrating a sixth structure of the display device in the electronic apparatus shown in fig. 1. Fig. 18 differs from fig. 17 in that: in the display device 20 shown in fig. 18, the second display driving chip 291 is disposed between the first display driving chip 292 and an edge of the display device 20, or the second display driving chip 291 and the first display driving chip 292 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the display device 20 at one end surface of the display device 20. The second display driving chip 291 is electrically connected to the first display area 240 through the third flexible circuit board 295, and the first display driving chip 292 is electrically connected to the second display area 220 through the first sub-flexible circuit 2942 and the second sub-flexible circuit board 2944. First sub-flexible circuit 2942 and second sub-flexible circuit board 2944 are located on both sides of second display driving chip 291, and first sub-flexible circuit 2942 and second sub-flexible circuit board 2944 are located on both sides of third flexible circuit board 295. That is, the first and second sub flexible circuits 2942 and 2944 are spaced apart from the second display driving chip 291, and the first and second sub flexible circuits 2942 and 2944 are spaced apart from the third flexible circuit 295, so that crosstalk of display signals can be prevented.

The image may be divided by the processor of the electronic device 10 and sent to the two driving chips respectively: the first display driving chip 292 and the second display driving chip 291 are used for driving the second display area 220 and the first display area 240 respectively, and the effect of full screen display is achieved through the same coordination processing.

The third display area 260 in the embodiment of the present application may select an active driving display area or a passive driving display area according to the requirement. Because the third pixels 262 of the third display area 260 and the first pixels 242 of the first display area 240 have the same physical structure, the third display area 260 and the first display area 240 may be driven in the same manner, such as the third display area 260 and the first display area 240 may be driven passively. If the area of the third display area 260 is large, or in order to improve the display quality of the third display area 260, the third display area 260 and the second display area 220 may be driven by the same driving display area, for example, may be all active driving display areas.

In this embodiment, the sensor of the electronic device 10, such as the camera 60, may be disposed on the inner side of the display device 20, for example, the lens of the camera 60 faces the lower substrate 270 of the display device 20, and the camera 60 is disposed corresponding to the first display area 240, or the camera 60 is located below the lower substrate 270 at the position of the first display area 240. The camera 60 may acquire the external light signal transmitted through the first display area 240 for imaging. In this embodiment, the lens of the camera 60 and the lower substrate 270 may be disposed at intervals, and of course, the lens of the camera 60 may also share the lower substrate 270, for example, the position of the lower substrate 270 corresponding to the first display area 240 may be disposed in an arc structure.

In order to reduce the space of the electronic device 10 occupied by the camera 60, the lens of the camera 60 may be brought into close proximity or abutment with the lower substrate 270 of the display device 20. The lower substrate 270 of the display device 20 is mainly used for carrying other layer structures of the display device 20, and no special function is required.

Referring to fig. 19, fig. 19 is a schematic structural diagram of a display device and a camera in an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. In order to further reduce the occupation of the camera 60 by the internal space of the electronic device 10, a first mounting hole 272 may be disposed on the lower substrate 270 opposite to the camera 60, and at least a portion of the camera 60 may be disposed in the first mounting hole 272. The first mounting hole 272 may be a blind hole, that is, the thickness of the portion of the lower substrate 270 opposite to the camera 60 is smaller than that of the other portions, and the lower substrate 270 is also a complete substrate, which does not affect the function of carrying other layers of the display device 20, and can also leave a portion of space for accommodating the camera 60. The mounting manner of the first mounting hole 272 and the camera 60 may be set according to the size of the first mounting hole 272 and the size of the camera 60. For example, if the space of the first mounting hole 272 is insufficient to mount the entire camera 60, the lens portion of the camera 60 may be disposed within the first mounting hole 272. If the camera is small enough, the entire camera 60 may be disposed within the first mounting hole 272.

It can be understood that, the camera 60 opposite to the first display area 240 may be used as a front camera of the electronic device, the lower substrate of the display device 20 may be provided with a first mounting hole, the camera 60 opposite to the first display area 240 may be a camera with a movable lens, and the lens of the camera 60 may be movable to implement functions such as auto-focusing. It should be noted that the camera 60 may be a rear camera, that is, the electronic device 10 may be provided with two opposite display devices 20.

One camera 60 may be disposed under the first display area 240 or a plurality of cameras 60 may be disposed. The plurality of cameras 60 may be mutually matched cameras 60, such as two identical cameras, a common camera, an blurring camera, or a black-and-white camera.

The sensor in the embodiment of the application is not limited to a camera, but may be a proximity sensor, a light sensor, a ranging sensor, a fingerprint identification sensor, and the like.

With continued reference to fig. 1, the electronic device 10 may further include a housing 40. The housing 40 may be formed of plastic, glass, ceramic, fiber composite, metal (e.g., stainless steel, aluminum, etc.), other suitable materials, or a combination of any two or more of these materials. The housing 40 may be formed using a unitary configuration in which some or all of the housing 40 is machined or molded as a single structure, or may be formed using multiple structures (e.g., an inner frame structure, one or more structures forming an outer housing surface, etc.). The housing 40 may provide a receiving cavity to receive components of the electronic device 10 such as a battery, motherboard, etc. The housing 40 may also carry the display device 20.
