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 implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a terminal, which may be an electronic device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, and the like, including a display panel and an image capture device, where the image capture device may be a front camera of the terminal.

The display panel comprises a first display area and a second display area, the image acquisition device is arranged on one side of the first display area (for example, below the first display area), the first display area is an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) display panel, and based on the structure, the image acquisition device can acquire an image on one side of the display panel arranged on the terminal (hereinafter, referred to as the front side of the terminal) through the display panel, so that the image acquisition device does not need to be arranged on the front side of the terminal, and the area ratio of the display panel on the front side of the terminal is improved.

Wherein the first display area is not limited to one area nor one type of area. The second display area is not limited to one area nor to a class of areas.

However, in order to implement the touch function, a touch layer is further disposed on the display panel of the mobile phone, considering that the display panel includes a first display area and a second display area, a touch layer (hereinafter referred to as a first touch layer) is disposed on one side of the second display area (for example, above the second display area) to implement the touch function, and if a touch layer (hereinafter referred to as a second touch layer) is also disposed on one side of the first display area (for example, above the first display area), since the second touch layer needs to be patterned to implement the touch function, slits or grids exist in the second touch layer, and the slits or grids are recessed in the three-dimensional structure.

Because sunken size is less, can arouse light to take place the diffraction to a certain extent, and the diffraction can lead to light to form alternate light and shade's stripe, and image acquisition equipment gathers alternate light and shade's stripe and also can influence the quality that image acquisition equipment gathered the image. Although the organic light emitting diode is manufactured, a structure such as a cover glass is adhered to the surface of the organic light emitting diode, the adhesive for adhesion is thin and cannot fill the recess, which still causes the above-mentioned problems.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, if a structure in the same layer as the first touch layer exists on one side of the first display area, the surface of the structure in the same layer as the first touch layer on the same side of the first display area and the first touch layer on the side where the first touch layer is arranged in the second display area can be flat, so that a recess can be prevented from being formed on one side of the first display area; or a structure which is in the same layer as the first touch layer is not arranged on the same side of the first display area and the second display area on which the first touch layer is arranged, so that the second touch layer formed by a patterning process does not exist, and accordingly, the formation of a recess on one side of the first display area can be avoided.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of one of the terminals of fig. 1 along LL' shown in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a conductive layer a1 is formed on one side of the first display region a and the first touch layer B1 in the same layer;

the conductive layer a1 and the first touch layer B1 are formed in the same layer, but are not patterned. The material of the conductive layer includes, but is not limited to, transparent metal oxide, metal element, and metal alloy.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the image capturing device a0 is disposed on one side of the first display area a, the first touch layer B1 is disposed on one side of the second display area B, and the conductive layer a1 is disposed on one side of the first display area a, wherein the conductive layer a1 and the first touch layer B1 are formed in the same layer, the conductive layer a1 is not patterned, and the first touch layer B1 is patterned to form an electrode having a specific shape, wherein the first touch layer B1 may be a self-inductive capacitor structure or a mutual-inductive capacitor structure.

Because the conducting layer is not subjected to patterning treatment, the surface of the conducting layer is still flat, so that the formation of a recess on one side of the first display area is avoided, the diffraction problem caused by the recess can be greatly relieved, and the quality of an image collected by the image collecting equipment is ensured.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, a structure in which one side of the first display area a is located at the same layer as the first touch layer B1 is a second touch layer a 2;

wherein, the terminal further includes:

and a transparent filling layer A3 disposed on the second touch layer a2 (i.e., formed after the second touch layer a2 is formed).

As shown in fig. 3, in the case that the surface of the transparent filling layer A3 is flush with the surface of the second touch layer a2, the surfaces of the transparent filling layer A3 and the second touch layer a2 are flat.

As shown in fig. 4, in the case that the surface of the transparent filling layer A3 is higher than the surface of the second touch layer a2, the surface of the transparent filling layer A3 is flat.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the image capturing apparatus a0 is disposed on one side of the first display area a, the first touch layer B1 is disposed on one side of the second display area B, and the second touch layer a2 is disposed on one side of the first display area a, wherein the second touch layer a2 and the first touch layer B1 are formed in the same layer, and the second touch layer a2 is patterned in the same way as the first touch layer B1 to form electrodes having a specific shape, wherein the first touch layer B1 and the second touch layer a1 may be a structure of a self-inductance capacitor or a structure of a mutual inductance capacitor.

As shown in fig. 3, by providing the transparent filling layer A3, the recesses formed by the patterning process in the second touch layer a2 can be filled, and the surfaces of the transparent filling layer A3 and the second touch layer a2 are made flat under the condition that the surface of the transparent filling layer A3 is flush with the surface of the second touch layer a 2.

The transparent material layer with a certain thickness may be formed on the second touch layer a2, the thickness difference between the transparent material layer and the second touch layer a2 is calculated based on the thickness of the second touch layer a2, the transparent material layer with the thickness difference is removed from the transparent material layer, and the remaining transparent material layer is filled in the recess formed in the second touch layer a2 as the transparent filling layer A3 by the patterning process.

As shown in fig. 4, by providing the transparent filling layer A3, the recess formed by the patterning process in the second touch layer a2 can be filled, and the surface of the transparent filling layer A3 is made flat under the condition that the surface of the transparent filling layer A3 is higher than the surface of the second touch layer a 2.

The transparent material layer with a certain thickness can be formed on the second touch layer a2, and the transparent material layer with a certain thickness can be removed as required, so that the residual transparent material layer can be ensured to be used as the transparent filling layer A3 with a smooth surface. With respect to the embodiment shown in fig. 3, it is not necessary to precisely remove the transparent material layer according to the thickness difference, and damage to the second touch layer a2 when removing the transparent material layer can be avoided, but relatively, since the surface of the transparent filling layer A3 is higher than the surface of the second touch layer a2, in order to ensure that the final upper surface heights of the first display area a and the second display area B are equal, the material coated on the first display area a can be reduced or the material coated on the second display area a can be increased when encapsulating.

Based on the embodiment shown in fig. 3 or fig. 4, the formation of the recess on one side of the first display area can be avoided, and the diffraction problem caused by the recess can be greatly relieved, so that the quality of the image acquired by the image acquisition equipment is ensured.

In addition to the embodiments shown in fig. 2 to 4, as shown in fig. 5, a structure in the same layer as the first touch layer B1 is not disposed on the same side of the first display area a and the second display area on which the first touch layer is disposed, so that the conductive layer a1 shown in fig. 2 does not exist, and the second touch layer a2 shown in fig. 3 or 4 does not exist, and the upper surface of the first display area a as the display panel is flat, so that the formation of the depression on one side of the first display area can be avoided, thereby greatly alleviating the diffraction problem caused by the depression, and ensuring the quality of the image captured by the image capturing device.

In one embodiment, the material of the transparent filling layer comprises at least one of:

oca (optical Clear adhesive) glue, water glue, Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE).

The transparency of the material is high, the transparency of the material is hardly influenced by the material manufactured in the first display area, and clear images can be acquired by image acquisition equipment below the first display area.

In one embodiment, the sub-pixels in the pixel unit in the display panel are arranged in a matrix along a row direction and a column direction, and the distance between each sub-pixel in the sub-pixels in the same row in the column direction is 0, and the distance between each sub-pixel in the sub-pixels in the same column in the row direction is 0.

The structure can enable a slit which is obvious along the row direction to exist between sub-pixels of adjacent rows and a slit which is obvious along the column direction to exist between sub-pixels of adjacent columns, light can be diffracted when passing through the slits, the more neat the boundary of the slits, the stronger the diffraction effect is, and even the condition that light rays passing through the two slits are interfered can exist, and the more neat the boundary of the slits, the stronger the interference effect is.

Because image acquisition equipment is arranged below the first display area, if strong diffraction and interference phenomena occur to light passing through the first display area, obvious light and dark alternate stripes can be formed, and therefore the image acquired by the image acquisition equipment has the obvious light and dark alternate stripes, and the shooting effect is influenced.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the organic light emitting diode display panel includes a plurality of pixel units, each pixel unit including a plurality of sub-pixels distributed along a row direction and a column direction;

and the distance between adjacent sub-pixels in the sub-pixels of the same row in the column direction is greater than 0, and/or the distance between adjacent sub-pixels in the sub-pixels of the same column in the row direction is greater than 0.

Based on the embodiment of the disclosure, by setting the distance between at least one sub-pixel in the sub-pixels of the same row and other sub-pixels in the column direction to be greater than 0, the slit boundaries in the row direction between the sub-pixels of adjacent rows can be irregular, so that the interference effect generated by the slits in the row direction is reduced. Similarly, by setting the distance between at least one sub-pixel in the sub-pixels in the same column and other sub-pixels in the row direction to be greater than 0, the slit boundaries in the column direction between the sub-pixels in adjacent columns can be irregular, thereby reducing the interference effect generated by the slits in the column direction. And then avoid the light through first display area to take place stronger diffraction or interference phenomenon to guarantee under the first display area in the image that image acquisition equipment gathered can not have comparatively obvious alternate stripe of light and shade, be favorable to guaranteeing good shooting effect.

Next, taking the slits in the row direction as an example, the related art and the embodiment of the present disclosure are compared by fig. 6 and 7.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram showing an arrangement of sub-pixels based on the related art. Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating an arrangement of sub-pixels in a first display region according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the pixel unit includes a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel.

In fig. 6, the distance in the column direction of all the sub-pixels in the red sub-pixels of the same row is equal to 0, and the distance in the column direction of all the sub-pixels in the green sub-pixels of the same row is equal to 0, which makes the boundaries of the slits in the row direction formed between the red sub-pixels and the green sub-pixels of the same row well-ordered.

In fig. 7, the distance between adjacent sub-pixels in the red sub-pixels of the same row in the column direction is greater than 0, and the distance between adjacent sub-pixels in the green sub-pixels of the same column in the row direction is greater than 0, which makes the boundaries of the slits in the row direction formed between the red sub-pixels of one row and the green sub-pixels of one row irregular.

Compared with the slit shown in fig. 6, the light has weaker diffraction and diffraction effects through the slit in fig. 7, and the arrangement mode of the sub-pixels in the first display area is set based on the embodiment, so that the phenomenon of stronger diffraction or interference of the light passing through the first display area can be avoided, and therefore, the situation that the image collected by the image collecting device under the first display area has more obvious light and dark alternate stripes is avoided, and the good shooting effect is favorably ensured.

In one embodiment, the distance between adjacent sub-pixels in the sub-pixels of the same row in the column direction is greater than 0, and/or the distance between adjacent sub-pixels in the sub-pixels of the same column in the row direction is greater than 0. Therefore, the distance between the largest number of sub-pixels in the same row and other sub-pixels in the column direction is larger than 0, so that slit boundaries between the sub-pixels in adjacent rows in the row direction are irregular to a greater extent, and slit boundaries between the sub-pixels in adjacent columns in the column direction are irregular to a greater extent, and the phenomenon that light rays passing through the first display area are subjected to stronger diffraction or interference is favorably reduced.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, the distance between adjacent sub-pixels in the column direction is d1, and the distance between adjacent sub-pixels in the row direction is d 1/2.

According to the arrangement, the distance of the adjacent sub-pixels in the same row in the column direction can be ensured to be the largest, so that the slit boundaries between the sub-pixels in the adjacent rows along the row direction are irregular to the greatest extent, and the phenomenon of strong diffraction or interference of light passing through the first display area is favorably reduced.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 9, the distance between adjacent sub-pixels in the row direction is d2, and the distance between adjacent sub-pixels in the column direction is d 2/2.

According to the arrangement, the distance between the adjacent sub-pixels in the same column of sub-pixels in the column direction can be ensured to be the largest, so that the slit boundaries between the sub-pixels in the adjacent columns in the column direction are irregular to the greatest extent, and the phenomenon of strong diffraction or interference of light passing through the first display area is favorably reduced.

In one embodiment, the signal lines of the sub-pixels of the same color are the same signal line.

Because the image acquisition device is arranged below the first display area, when the image acquisition device acquires an image, the image on the front side of the terminal needs to be acquired through the first display area, but it needs to be ensured that the first display area has a display function, which needs to ensure that the first display area has a higher transmittance on the basis of having the display function, and at least the transmittance is higher than that of the second display area.

According to the embodiment, for the sub-pixels in the first display region, the signal lines of the sub-pixels of the same color may be set to be the same signal line, wherein the signal line includes at least one of:

a scan line, a signal line, and a driving current transmission line (i.e., a line connected to VDD for transmitting a current to the organic light emitting diode through the driving transistor).

For example, taking a scan line as an example, all red sub-pixels in the first display region are connected to one scan line, all green sub-pixels in the first display region are connected to one scan line, and all blue sub-pixels in the first display region are connected to one scan line, so that the first display region still has a certain display function, and the scan lines in the first display region are reduced to a great extent, thereby reducing the shielding of the scan lines on light, effectively improving the transmittance of the first display region, and ensuring that the image acquisition device below the first display region can acquire clear images.

In addition, a signal line may be provided based on the embodiment shown in fig. 8 or fig. 9. Taking the scan line as an example, in order to connect all the red subpixels to one scan line, the red subpixels in the same row may be connected, and then one line is led out from each row of red subpixels to be connected to one scan line, and based on the embodiment shown in fig. 6 or fig. 7, the distribution of the subpixels has strong regularity, so that the connection lines between the subpixels have strong regularity, which is beneficial to simplifying the patterning process for forming the connection lines.

In one embodiment, the sub-pixels of the same color in the pixel units in the same row are located in the same row, and the signal lines of the sub-pixels of the same color in the same row are the same signal line. The sub-pixels in the first display area can be controlled to be turned on and off in line granularity by controlling a line of sub-pixels with the same color through a signal line, and the display capacity of the first display area is improved compared with the situation that the sub-pixels with all colors are connected to a signal box.

In one embodiment, the sub-pixels with the same color in the pixel units of the same column are located in the same column, and the signal lines of the sub-pixels with the same color in the same column are the same signal line. A column of sub-pixels with the same color can be controlled by one signal line, so that the sub-pixels in the first display area can be controlled to be turned on and off in a column granularity, and the display capability of the first display area is improved compared with the situation that the sub-pixels with all colors are connected to one signal box.

In one embodiment, the first display region includes a plurality of sub-regions, wherein signal lines of sub-pixels of the same color in different sub-regions are different signal lines. Therefore, the sub-pixels with the same color in one sub-area can be controlled to be turned on or turned off through one signal line, namely, the granularity displayed by the first display area is the sub-area, and the display capacity of the first display area is improved compared with the situation that the sub-pixels with all colors are connected to one signal box.

In one embodiment, the area of the sub-pixels in the first display region is larger than the area of the sub-pixels in the second display region.

According to the embodiment, the area of the sub-pixels in the first display area is larger than that of the sub-pixels in the second display area, so that the number of the sub-pixels in the unit area of the first display area can be reduced, and the number of the sub-pixels in the unit area is smaller, so that the number of signal lines for connecting the sub-pixels is smaller, the shielding of the signal lines in the first display area on light rays can be reduced, the transmittance of the first display area is effectively improved, and clear images can be acquired by image acquisition equipment below the first display area.
