Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. 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 invention.
The terminology used in the embodiments of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in the examples of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
Fig. 1 is a schematic partial top view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 1, the display region of the display panel includes a first display region AA1, a first transition region G1, a second display region AA2 and a second transition region G2, wherein the first transition region G1 is located between the first display region AA1 and the second display region AA2, and the second transition region G2 is located between the first transition region G1 and the first display region AA 1; fig. 1 is a partial schematic view, and in the embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the first display area may be designed according to specific requirements, and the first display area may be any shape such as a circle, a rectangle, a triangle, and the like. When displayed, the first display area may be used to display a power level graphic, a message notification graphic, a network status graphic, and the like.
The display area includes a plurality of sub-pixels including a first sub-pixel sp1 located in a first display area AA1, a first transition sub-pixel spg located in a first transition area G1, a first virtual sub-pixel spx1 located in a second transition area G2, and a second sub-pixel sp2 located in a second display area AA2, wherein,
the first virtual sub-pixel spx1 is not used for light emitting display. In one embodiment, the first dummy sub-pixel spx1 includes an anode, a light emitting layer, and a cathode, and the second transition region further includes a first dummy pixel circuit corresponding to the first dummy sub-pixel, and optionally, one first dummy sub-pixel corresponds to one first dummy pixel circuit. It may be that the first virtual pixel circuit is not connected to the anode of the first virtual sub-pixel, thereby enabling the first virtual sub-pixel not to be used for emitting light. In another embodiment, the first dummy subpixel spx1 includes an anode, a light emitting layer, and a first dummy pixel circuit, and the corresponding cathode over the anode is etched away to achieve that the first dummy subpixel does not emit light. In another embodiment, in the transistor of the first dummy circuit, the source metal and the drain metal are not connected to the source region and the drain region of the semiconductor layer, so that the first dummy sub-pixel does not emit light.
As illustrated in the drawing, the density of the first sub-pixels sp1 in the first display area AA1 is less than the density of the first transition sub-pixels spg in the first transition area G1, and the density of the first transition sub-pixels spg in the first transition area G1 is less than the density of the second sub-pixels sp2 in the second display area AA 2.
In the first display area, the first transition area and the second display area, the density of the first sub-pixels in the first display area is minimum, and then the light transmittance of the first display area is maximum. Meanwhile, the density of the sub-pixels in the first transition area is between the first display area and the second display area, when the display panel displays, the first transition area can play a visual transition effect, the resolution difference caused by the difference of the density of the sub-pixels between the second display area and the first display area is reduced, and the display effect is improved. In addition, because the density of the sub-pixels is different between the first display area and the first transition area, in the anode etching process of the sub-pixels and the etching process of the pixel defining layer, an abrupt change of the density of the etching pattern exists near the boundary of the first display area and the second transition area. And in the manufacturing process of the pixel circuit, an abrupt change of the density of the etching pattern exists near the boundary of the first display area and the second transition area. In the panel manufacturing process, near the boundary between the first transition region and the first display region, exposure or etching unevenness may be caused by abrupt change of etching pattern density, so that line width and line distance are uneven, and further, electrical differences are caused, and especially, the width-to-length ratio of transistors in a pixel circuit is affected, and further, the brightness of sub-pixels is affected. In the embodiment of the invention, the first virtual sub-pixel which is not used for displaying is arranged between the first display area and the first transition area, so that the problem of uneven exposure or etching caused by abrupt change of the density of the etching pattern can be generated on the first virtual sub-pixel in the manufacturing process of the display panel, and the influence of the problem of uneven exposure or etching on the brightness of the first transition sub-pixel at one side close to the first display area in the first transition area or the brightness of the first sub-pixel at one side close to the first transition area in the first display area is avoided. The embodiment of the invention can further improve the abnormal brightness of the sub-pixel caused by the problem of uneven exposure or etching caused by abrupt change of the etching pattern between the first display area and the first transition area, and can improve the display effect.
In fig. 1, the arrangement of the sub-pixels is only schematically shown only to illustrate the relationship between the sub-pixel density in each partial display area.
In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic partial top view of an alternative implementation of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. The sub-pixels include a first color sub-pixel, a second color sub-pixel, and a third color sub-pixel. As illustrated in the drawing, in the first display area AA1, the first color first sub-pixel 1sp1, the second color first sub-pixel 2sp1, and the third color first sub-pixel 3sp1 are included, and the three color sub-pixels are dispersedly disposed. Within the first transition region G1, a first color first transition sub-pixel 1spg, a second color first transition sub-pixel 2spg, and a third color first transition sub-pixel 3spg are included. The sub-pixels in the first display area AA1 and in the first transition area G1 are arranged dispersedly. The embodiment can be applied to a display panel which adopts a sub-pixel rendering mode to display, the brightness of the first display area AA1 when displaying can be improved by selecting different sub-pixel rendering algorithms, the obvious display brightness difference between different display areas caused by large pixel density difference is avoided, and the display effect is improved.
In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic partial top view of an alternative implementation of the display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in the drawing, the subpixels of three different colors constitute one repeating unit CC, and the repeating unit CC is arranged in a staggered manner in both the first display area AA1 and the first transition area G1. This embodiment can be applied to a display panel that displays by real data output.
Optionally, 1 to 3 rows of first virtual sub-pixels and/or 1 to 3 columns of first virtual sub-pixels may be arranged in a second transition area between the first transition area and the first display area according to the position relationship between the first display area and the first transition area and the shape of the first display area. Specifically, referring to the illustration in fig. 4, the first display region is illustrated as being substantially rectangular in shape. Fig. 4 is a schematic top view of another alternative embodiment of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. Only the first display region AA1, a portion of the first transition region G1, and the second transition region G2 are illustrated. The sub-pixels in the display area are arranged in rows of pixels in the first direction x and in columns of pixels in the second direction y. The arrangement of the sub-pixels in the figure is only schematically shown. A plurality of first virtual subpixels spx1 are disposed around the first display area AA1 within the second transition area G3, wherein 3 columns of the first virtual subpixels spx1 are disposed between the first display area AA1 and the first transition area G1 in the first direction x; in the second direction y, 3 lines of the first virtual sub-pixels spx1 are disposed between the first display area AA1 and the first transition area G1. Other shapes of the first display area can be understood with reference to the arrangement of fig. 4. Through the arrangement of the first virtual sub-pixels, the problem of electrical property difference caused by exposure or uneven etching due to the fact that the density of the sub-pixels of the first transition area and the first display area is different is solved, and the problem that the sub-pixels need to be normally displayed in the display area are prevented from being influenced due to the fact that the electric property difference is caused by the fact that the density of the etching pattern is suddenly changed in the manufacturing process. The number of the first virtual sub-pixels does not need to be set too much, so that the display effect is not influenced by a non-display area with a larger width in the display area. Further, fig. 5 is a schematic top view of another alternative implementation of the display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, the display panel includes a plurality of pixel circuits including a first pixel circuit DL1, a first transition pixel circuit DLg, and a first dummy pixel circuit DLx 1; the first pixel circuit DL1 and the first transition pixel circuit DLg are located in the first transition region G1, the first pixel circuit DL1 is electrically connected to the first sub-pixel sp1, the first transition pixel circuit DLg is electrically connected to the first transition sub-pixel spg, and the first dummy pixel circuit DLx1 is located in the second transition region G2. In the embodiment, the first pixel circuit for driving the first sub-pixel is arranged in the first transition area, so that the light transmittance of the first display area can be further increased, the light quantity received by the optical module can be further improved in the scheme of the optical module under the screen, and the optical performance can be further improved. In addition, because the first virtual pixel circuit is arranged in the second transition area, in the manufacturing process of the pixel circuit, the problem of uneven exposure or etching caused by abrupt change of pattern density can occur on the first virtual pixel circuit, so that the width-length ratio of transistors in the first pixel circuit and the first transition pixel circuit can be prevented from being influenced, and the brightness abnormality of the first transition sub-pixel and the first pixel can be prevented.
In one embodiment, FIG. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an alternative embodiment taken at the location of line A-A' of FIG. 5. The pixel circuit actually includes a plurality of transistors and circuit connection lines, and is a very complicated structure, and only one transistor in the pixel circuit is shown in fig. 6 in a simplified schematic manner to illustrate the connection between the pixel circuit and the sub-pixel. As shown in fig. 6, the first transition sub-pixel spg includes an anode, a light emitting layer, and a cathode (not shown) stacked in this order, and the anode of the first transition sub-pixel spg is electrically connected to the first transition pixel circuit DLg. Within the second transition region G2, the first virtual sub-pixel spx also includes the same structure as the first transition sub-pixel spg, i.e., the first virtual sub-pixel spx includes the structures of an anode, a light emitting layer, and a cathode, but the anode of the first virtual sub-pixel spx is not electrically connected to the first virtual pixel circuit DLx1, thereby realizing that the first virtual sub-pixel spx is not used for light emitting display. In the first dummy pixel circuit DLx1 illustrated in fig. 6 within the second transition region G2, the source and drain electrodes of the transistor are connected to the source and drain regions in the semiconductor active layer, respectively. The source and drain electrodes in the pixel circuit are respectively connected with the source electrode region and the drain electrode region through the through holes in the insulating layer, and the embodiment can also ensure that the problem of uneven exposure or etching caused by abrupt density change of the etched through holes is caused on the through holes in the first virtual pixel circuit in the process of manufacturing the through holes in the insulating layer, thereby ensuring that the size of the through holes in the pixel circuit in the first transition region is accurately manufactured.
In another embodiment, in the first dummy pixel circuit in the second transition region, the source and drain of the transistor are not connected to the source region and the drain region in the semiconductor active layer, so that the first dummy pixel circuit cannot drive the first dummy sub-pixel to emit light for display.
In one embodiment, as shown with continued reference to fig. 5 above, the plurality of first dummy pixel circuits DLx in the second transition region G2 are arranged in the same manner as the plurality of pixel circuits (including the first pixel circuit DL1 and the first transition pixel circuit DLg) in the first transition region G1. The first pixel circuit for driving the first sub-pixel is arranged in the first transition area, the pixel circuit is not arranged in the first display area, and in the manufacturing process of the pixel circuit, the pixel circuit in the first transition area is likely to be exposed or etched unevenly due to abrupt change of etching pattern density, so that the line width and the line distance are uneven, and further the brightness of the sub-pixel is influenced. The embodiment can ensure that the problem of uneven line width and line distance caused by uneven exposure or etching in each process of manufacturing the pixel circuit can be generated in the first virtual pixel circuit, and the first virtual pixel circuit is not used for driving the sub-pixels to emit light, so that the brightness of the sub-pixels in the display area can not be influenced.

The first pixel circuit located in the first transition area is arranged through the connecting line to display the first sub-pixels in a driving mode, the light transmittance of the first subsection located in the first display area is large, the light transmittance is large enough when the light penetrates through the first subsection, and the light transmittance of the first display area is prevented from being influenced by the arrangement of the connecting line. Meanwhile, the resistivity of the second subsection is smaller than that of the first subsection, the second subsection can balance the overall resistance of the connecting line, and the problem that the brightness of the sub-pixels is affected due to overlarge resistance on the connecting line and overlarge voltage drop during voltage signal transmission is avoided.
Optionally, the material of the first part includes indium tin oxide, and the material of the second part includes any one or more of molybdenum, aluminum and titanium.
In another embodiment, a part of the structure in the first dummy pixel circuit may be multiplexed to make a connection line to realize an electrical connection between the first sub-pixel and the first pixel circuit. Because the first virtual pixel circuit is not used for driving the sub-pixels to display, and part of the structures (such as a source electrode, a drain electrode or a grid electrode in the first virtual pixel circuit) are multiplexed, the luminous display of the sub-pixels is not influenced, and the number of the wires in the second transition region can be reduced.

With continued reference to the illustration of fig. 9, the plurality of second virtual sub-pixels spx2 in the third transition area G3 are arranged in the same manner as the plurality of second sub-pixels sp2 in the second display area AA 2. The sub-pixel comprises an anode, a light emitting layer and a cathode which are stacked in sequence, and in general, the anode and the pixel defining layer of the spacing sub-pixel are all manufactured by adopting an etching process. The sub-pixel density of the second display area is different from that of the first transition area, and at the boundary position of the second display area and the first transition area, there is a sudden change in pattern density when etching the anode or the pixel defining layer.
