Along with the push of the full-face screen, a display panel with a fingerprint identification unit arranged in a display area is a recent trend of mobile phone development. Light emitted by the fingerprint identification light source is received by the fingerprint identification unit after being reflected by the valleys and the ridges of the finger, so that the fingerprint identification function is realized. But the display panel comprises an electrode, a pixel circuit metal wire, a capacitor and other opaque metal layers, light emitted by the fingerprint identification light source or light reflected by the finger can be shielded, so that the light transmittance of the display panel is lower, the luminous flux received by the fingerprint identification unit is low, and the sensitivity of fingerprint identification is reduced. Moreover, as the brightness required during fingerprint identification is higher, the luminous brightness of the fingerprint identification light source can be improved during fingerprint identification, however, the service life of the fingerprint identification light source can be reduced faster than that of a non-fingerprint identification light source, and thus the problem of uneven display is caused.

Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting thereof. It should be further noted that, for convenience of description, only some, but not all of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 2 is an enlarged structural view of the display panel at the area a of fig. 1, fig. 3 is a schematic structural view of the display panel along the direction B-B' of fig. 2, and as shown in fig. 1-3, the display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a display area 10, the display area 10 includes a fingerprint identification area 11, a non-fingerprint identification area 12 and a plurality of pixels 13, wherein the fingerprint identification area 11 includes a fingerprint identification unit 111. The pixels 13 located in the fingerprint recognition area 11 include a first subpixel 131 emitting a first color light and a second subpixel 132 emitting a second color light, the first subpixel 131 being multiplexed as a fingerprint recognition light source. The pixels 13 located in the non-fingerprint recognition region 12 include a third subpixel 133 emitting light of a first color and a fourth subpixel 134 emitting light of a second color, the light emitting area of the first subpixel 131 is larger than the light emitting area of the third subpixel 133, and the shortest distance D1 between the first subpixel 131 and the second subpixel 132 is less than or equal to the shortest distance D2 between the third subpixel 133 and the fourth subpixel 134. The display panel further comprises a substrate 20, the fingerprint identification area 11 further comprises a light transmission area 31, and the vertical projection of the light transmission area 31 on the substrate 20 covers the vertical projection of the fingerprint identification unit 111 on the substrate 20, and the light transmission rate of the light transmission area 31 is larger than that of the non-fingerprint identification area 12.
Specifically, the working process of the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a fingerprint identification stage and a non-fingerprint identification stage, and in the fingerprint identification stage, in order to ensure the fingerprint identification effect of the fingerprint identification unit 111 in the fingerprint identification area 11, the brightness of the first sub-pixel 131 multiplexed as the fingerprint identification light source tends to be increased. Therefore, by increasing the light emitting area of the first sub-pixel 131, the current density of the first sub-pixel 131 can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the lifetime attenuation of the first sub-pixel 131 and improving the pixel lifetime of the fingerprint recognition area 11.
In the non-fingerprint recognition stage, since the light emitting area of the first sub-pixel 131 is larger than the light emitting area of the third sub-pixel 133 of the non-fingerprint recognition region 12, the current density of the first sub-pixel 131 is smaller than that of the third sub-pixel 133 at the same brightness, so that in the non-fingerprint recognition stage, the lifetime degradation of the first sub-pixel 131 is smaller than that of the third sub-pixel 133, thereby reducing the difference between the lifetime degradation of the first sub-pixel 131 multiplexed as the fingerprint recognition unit 111 and the lifetime degradation of the third sub-pixel 133, so that the lifetime degradation of the first sub-pixel 131 and the third sub-pixel 133 as a whole tends to be uniform, and the problem of uneven display is improved.
Meanwhile, by setting the light emitting area of the first sub-pixel 131 multiplexed as the fingerprint identification light source to be larger than the light emitting area of the third sub-pixel 133, the light emitting current of the first sub-pixel 131 can be properly increased in the fingerprint identification stage, so as to increase the light intensity emitted by the first sub-pixel 131, further increase the light flux received by the fingerprint identification unit 111, improve the problem that the service life attenuation of the pixel multiplexed as the fingerprint identification light source is faster than that of other pixels due to the increase of the current density of the fingerprint identification light source in the prior art, and improve the sensitivity of fingerprint identification of the fingerprint identification area 11.
In addition, the light transmission area 31 is arranged above the fingerprint identification unit 111 of the fingerprint identification area 11, and the light transmittance of the light transmission area 31 is larger than that of the non-fingerprint identification area 12, so that the light flux received by the fingerprint identification unit 111 is further increased, the fingerprint identification sensitivity of the fingerprint identification area 11 is improved, and the yield of the display panel is improved.
In the display panel provided by the embodiment of the invention, the light emitting area of the first sub-pixel 131 multiplexed as the fingerprint identification light source is larger than the light emitting area of the third sub-pixel 133, so that the current density of the first sub-pixel 131 is effectively reduced by increasing the light emitting area of the first sub-pixel 131 in the fingerprint identification stage, the service life attenuation of the first sub-pixel 131 is reduced, and the problem of uneven display is solved. Further, the light transmission area 31 is arranged above the fingerprint identification unit 111 of the fingerprint identification area 11, and the light transmittance of the light transmission area 31 is larger than that of the non-fingerprint identification area 12, so that the light flux received by the fingerprint identification unit 111 is further increased, and the sensitivity of fingerprint identification of the fingerprint identification area 11 is improved.
Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of another display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, optionally, the light emitting area of the second subpixel 132 is equal to or greater than the light emitting area of the fourth subpixel 134.
In the fingerprint identification stage, the first sub-pixel 131 and the second sub-pixel 132 can be multiplexed into a fingerprint identification light source, so that the light emitting area of the fingerprint identification light source in the fingerprint identification stage is increased, on one hand, under the condition that the light emitting current of the fingerprint identification light source is kept unchanged, the number of the fingerprint identification light sources is increased, the light flux received by the fingerprint identification unit 111 can be increased, and the sensitivity of fingerprint identification of the fingerprint identification area 11 is improved; on the other hand, by increasing the number of fingerprint recognition light sources, the light emission current of the fingerprint recognition light sources can be appropriately reduced, thereby further reducing the life decay of the fingerprint recognition light sources while ensuring the fingerprint recognition sensitivity of the fingerprint recognition unit 111 in the fingerprint recognition area 11. By way of example, as shown in fig. 2, by setting the light emitting area of the second subpixel 132 to be larger than the light emitting area of the fourth subpixel 134, the light emitting area of the second subpixel 132 in the fingerprint recognition stage is increased, and under the condition that the light emitting current of the fingerprint recognition light source is kept unchanged, the light emitting area of the fingerprint recognition light source in the fingerprint recognition stage is further increased, and the sensitivity of fingerprint recognition in the fingerprint recognition region 11 is improved.
With continued reference to fig. 4, optionally, the pixel 13 in the fingerprint recognition area 11 further includes a fifth subpixel 135 emitting light of a third color, and the pixel in the non-fingerprint recognition area 12 further includes a sixth subpixel 136 emitting light of the third color, and the light emitting area of the fifth subpixel 135 is equal to or larger than the light emitting area of the sixth subpixel 136.
For example, as shown in fig. 4, the first, second and third color lights may be green, red and blue, respectively, thereby realizing a color display. In the fingerprint identification stage, the first sub-pixel 131, the second sub-pixel 132 and the fifth sub-pixel 135 can be multiplexed into the fingerprint identification light source, so that the light emitting area of the fingerprint identification light source in the fingerprint identification stage is increased, the fingerprint identification effect of the fingerprint identification unit 111 in the fingerprint identification area 11 is ensured, the light emitting area of the fifth sub-pixel 135 is larger than the light emitting area of the sixth sub-pixel 136, the light emitting area of the fifth sub-pixel 135 in the fingerprint identification stage is increased, the light emitting area of the fingerprint identification light source in the fingerprint identification stage is further increased, and the fingerprint identification sensitivity of the fingerprint identification area 11 is improved.
Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a fingerprint identification area according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 5, optionally, at least two first sub-pixels 131 are adjacent.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the pixel 13 includes a pixel light emitting unit 21 and a pixel driving circuit 22, the pixel light emitting unit 21 includes an anode 211, an organic light emitting layer 212, and a cathode 213, when the shortest distance D1 between the first sub-pixel 131 and the second sub-pixel 132 is smaller than the shortest distance D2 between the third sub-pixel 133 and the fourth sub-pixel 134, at the time of preparing the organic light emitting layer 212, since the shortest distance between the first sub-pixel 131 and the second sub-pixel 132 is smaller, color mixing occurs between the first sub-pixel 131 and the second sub-pixel 132 during vapor deposition, as shown in fig. 5, by disposing a portion of the first sub-pixels 131 adjacent to each other, D1 can be made equal to D2, while reducing the distance D2 between the first sub-pixel 131 and the second sub-pixel 132 by reducing the distance between the adjacent two first sub-pixels 131, the risk of color mixing at the time of vapor deposition of different colors is reduced.
Fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of another fingerprint recognition area provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a cross section of fig. 6 along the direction of C-C', as shown in fig. 6 and fig. 7, further, when the organic light emitting layer 212 is manufactured, the adjacent first sub-pixels 131 may share one mask opening, and at this time, two pixel driving circuits 22 of the adjacent first sub-pixels 131 drive one pixel light emitting unit 21.
With continued reference to fig. 4, optionally, the pixels 13 include pixel light emitting elements 21, and the density of pixel light emitting elements 21 of the fingerprint recognition area 11 is equal to the density of pixel light emitting elements 21 of the non-fingerprint recognition area 12.
Wherein, by setting the density of the pixel light emitting units 21 of the fingerprint identification area 11 equal to the density of the pixel light emitting units 21 of the non-fingerprint identification area 12, the resolution of the fingerprint identification area 11 is consistent with that of the non-fingerprint identification area 12, thereby ensuring the display effect of the display panel.
Fig. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of another display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8, optionally, the light emitting area of the second sub-pixel 132 is smaller than the light emitting area of the fourth sub-pixel 134, and the shortest distance D1 between the first sub-pixel 131 and the second sub-pixel 132 is equal to the shortest distance D2 between the third sub-pixel 133 and the fourth sub-pixel 134.
By setting the light emitting area of the second subpixel 132 smaller than the light emitting area of the fourth subpixel 134, the shortest distance D1 between the first subpixel 131 and the second subpixel 132 is not reduced due to the increase of the first subpixel 131, so that the light transmitting area of the fingerprint identification area 11 is ensured, and the process difficulty is not increased while the fingerprint identification effect is ensured.
Fig. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view of fig. 8 along direction D-D', and as shown in fig. 9, the pixel 13 may optionally include a pixel driving circuit 22, and at least two second sub-pixels 132 located in the fingerprint recognition area 11 are electrically connected to the same pixel driving circuit 22.
Specifically, when the light emitting area of the second sub-pixel 132 is reduced, the lifetime attenuation of the second sub-pixel 132 may be increased, and by setting at least two second sub-pixels 132 located in the fingerprint recognition area 11 to be electrically connected to the same pixel driving circuit 22, the current density of the second sub-pixel 132 is reduced, so that the lifetime attenuation of the second sub-pixel 132 is reduced, and the lifetime attenuation of the second sub-pixel 132 and the lifetime attenuation of the fourth sub-pixel 134 are consistent as a whole, thereby improving the problem of uneven display. Meanwhile, since the at least two second sub-pixels 132 are electrically connected with the same pixel driving circuit 22, shielding of the pixel circuit to fingerprint recognition light can be reduced in the fingerprint recognition area, the light transmission area of the fingerprint recognition area can be increased, and the fingerprint recognition effect can be improved.
Fig. 10 is a schematic structural diagram of another display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3 and 10, optionally, the display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes an encapsulation layer 23, and a first metal layer 24 located between the substrate 20 and the encapsulation layer 23, where the first metal layer 24 includes a plurality of signal lines, and in the light-transmitting area 31, the first metal layer 24 includes a hollowed-out area 241, and a vertical projection of the hollowed-out area 241 on the substrate 20 at least covers a vertical projection of the fingerprint identification unit 111 on the substrate 20.
For example, in order to reduce the impedance of the signal line, the display panel may adopt a mode of setting a dual-layer wiring in parallel to transmit an electrical signal, that is, setting two metal layers to transmit an electrical signal, as shown in fig. 3 and fig. 10, in the display panel provided by the embodiment of the invention, the first metal layer 24 may be any one of the two metal layers, no metal is set above the fingerprint identification unit 111 in the fingerprint identification area 11, that is, the first metal layer 24 has a hollow part at the fingerprint identification area 11, the front projection of the metal wiring in the first metal layer 24 on the substrate and the front projection of the fingerprint identification area 11 on the substrate do not overlap, so that the transmittance of the film layer above the fingerprint identification unit 111 is improved, thereby increasing the luminous flux received by the fingerprint identification unit 111 in the fingerprint identification stage, and improving the sensitivity of fingerprint identification of the fingerprint identification area 11. The encapsulation layer 23 may be a rigid encapsulation layer such as a glass cover plate, or may be a thin film encapsulation layer, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
In other embodiments, the first metal layer 24 may be any one or more metal layers in the display panel, and those skilled in the art can set any metal layer according to practical requirements, so long as the number of metal layers above the fingerprint recognition unit 111 can be reduced.
With continued reference to fig. 3, optionally, the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention further includes a first insulating layer 25 located between the substrate 20 and the encapsulation layer 23, where the first insulating layer 25 located in the light-transmitting region 31 includes a groove structure or a via structure, and a vertical projection of the groove structure or the via structure on the substrate 20 at least partially overlaps with a vertical projection of the fingerprint recognition unit 111 on the substrate 20.
As illustrated in fig. 3, the first insulating layer 25 is a pixel defining layer for preventing color mixing between the pixel light emitting units 21 and improving light emitting performance of the pixel light emitting units 21. By arranging the groove structure 251 on the first insulating layer 25 above the fingerprint identification unit 111, the thickness of the first insulating layer 25 is reduced, so that the transmittance of the film layer above the fingerprint identification unit 111 is improved, the luminous flux received by the fingerprint identification unit 111 in the fingerprint identification stage is increased, and the sensitivity of fingerprint identification of the fingerprint identification area 11 is improved.
In other embodiments, the first insulating layer 25 may be any one or more insulating layers in the display panel, such as one or more of the gate insulating layer 26, the interlayer insulating layer 27, and the planarization layer 28 in fig. 3. The shape of the groove structure or the through hole structure can be set arbitrarily according to actual requirements, and the light transmittance of the film layer can be increased.
Fig. 11 is a schematic cross-sectional structure along the direction E-E' of fig. 8, and as shown in fig. 11, optionally, the first sub-pixel 131 includes a first electrode 411, and a first pixel driving circuit 42 located between the substrate 20 and the first electrode 411, where the first pixel driving circuit 42 is connected to the first electrode 411, and the first pixel driving circuit 42 includes a first capacitor 421, and a vertical projection of the first electrode 411 on the substrate 20 covers a vertical projection of the first capacitor 421 on the substrate 20.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 11, taking an organic light-emitting display panel as an example, the first sub-pixel 131 includes a first pixel light-emitting unit 41 and a first pixel driving circuit 42, the first pixel light-emitting unit 41 includes a first anode 411, a first organic light-emitting layer 412 and a first cathode 413, the first pixel driving circuit 42 is connected with the first electrode 411, the first pixel driving circuit 42 includes a first capacitor 421, and by setting the first capacitor 421 below the first electrode 411, the first capacitor 421 is prevented from shielding light above the fingerprint identification unit 111, the shielding of the first capacitor 421 to light is reduced, the light transmittance of the fingerprint identification area 11 is increased, the display panel space occupied by the pixel driving circuit is optimized, and the sensitivity of fingerprint identification of the fingerprint identification area 11 is improved.
Note that all the pixels 13 located in the fingerprint recognition area 11 may have their capacitances in the pixel driving circuits disposed under the anode, thereby further increasing the light transmittance of the light transmitting area 31.
In this case, as the light emitting area of the first sub-pixel 131 increases, it is understood that the pixel anode increases accordingly. Other wires can be arranged below the first anode 411, so that the transmittance of the film layer above the fingerprint identification unit 111 is further improved, and similarly, the metal wires can be arranged below the anode of any pixel 13 in the fingerprint identification area 11 to improve the transmittance of the display panel, and a person skilled in the art can lay out the wires according to actual requirements.
With continued reference to fig. 2 and 3, optionally, the vertical projection of the fingerprint recognition unit 111 onto the substrate 20 does not overlap with the vertical projection of the pixels 13 onto the substrate 20.
Since the area between the pixel light emitting units 21 is an area for transmitting light, fingerprint recognition is facilitated by disposing the fingerprint recognition unit 111 in the area between the pixel light emitting units 21 in the fingerprint recognition area 11.
Alternatively, the fingerprint recognition unit 111 is an externally hung fingerprint recognition unit, or the fingerprint recognition unit 111 is a built-in fingerprint recognition unit.
As illustrated in fig. 2, the fingerprint recognition unit 111 is an off-hook fingerprint recognition unit, and the fingerprint recognition unit 111 is located on a side of the substrate 20 facing away from the pixel light emitting unit 21.
In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 11, the fingerprint recognition unit 111 is a built-in fingerprint recognition unit, and the fingerprint recognition unit 111 is located on the side of the substrate 20 facing the pixel light emitting unit 21.
Optionally, the first color light is green light.
In the organic light emitting display panel, the lifetime of the green light emitting pixel is the longest, and therefore, the first sub-pixel 131 emitting green light is multiplexed as a fingerprint recognition light source, so that the lifetime attenuation of the first sub-pixel 131 and the lifetime attenuation of the sub-pixels emitting other colors of light tend to be consistent as a whole, thereby improving the problem of uneven display.
It should be noted that, the display panel provided in any of the above embodiments may be an organic light emitting display panel or a liquid crystal display panel.
