In some embodiments, a transparent display area may be disposed on the electronic device, and the photosensitive component is disposed on the back of the transparent display area, so as to realize full-screen display of the electronic device on the premise of ensuring normal operation of the photosensitive component.
In order to realize the full-screen display of the electronic device, a certain number of light-emitting units are often required to be arranged in the light-transmitting display area to realize the display requirement of the light-transmitting display area. When displaying, the light emitted by the light-emitting unit returns to the transparent display area under the action of multiple refraction and/or reflection, and the normal operation of the photosensitive element is influenced.
In order to solve the above problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a display panel and a display device, and the following describes embodiments of the display panel and the display device with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Embodiments of the present invention provide a display panel, which may be an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display panel.
Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional diagram along a direction B-B' in fig. 1.
The display panel includes a first display area AA1 and a second display area AA2, the light transmittance of the first display area AA1 is greater than that of the second display area AA2, and the first display area AA1 includes a photosensitive area PS.
According to the display panel provided by the embodiment of the invention, the light transmittance of the first display area AA1 is greater than that of the second display area AA2, so that the display panel can integrate a photosensitive element on the back of the first display area AA1, and the under-screen integration of a photosensitive component such as a camera is realized. Meanwhile, the first display area AA1 can display pictures, the display area of the display panel is increased, and the comprehensive screen design of the display device is realized.
The display panel includes a substrate 1, a group of light-emitting devices 2, a light control regulation layer 3, and a target optical film layer 4. The light emitting device group 2 includes a pixel defining layer 21 and a plurality of light emitting units 22 disposed on one side of the substrate 1, the pixel defining layer 21 includes a plurality of first openings 211, the light emitting units 22 correspond to the first openings 211, and the orthographic projection of the light emitting units 22 on the pixel defining layer 21 is located in the first openings 211, and the light sensing region PS and the first openings 211 are at least partially non-overlapped along the light emitting direction of the light emitting units 22.
The substrate 1 may be made of a light-transmitting material such as glass or Polyimide (PI). The pixel defining layer 21 is positioned at one side of the substrate 1 and defines a plurality of first openings 211 in the first display area AA1, and the plurality of light emitting cells 22 are respectively disposed in the plurality of first openings 211.
The photosensitive region PS is located in the first display region AA1 and has a relatively high light transmittance, so that most of the transparent region is located outside the first opening 211, so that external light vertically incident into the display panel can enter the photosensitive element through the photosensitive region PS, thereby achieving the light sensing of the photosensitive element. It should be noted that a partial region in the photosensitive region PS can overlap with a region where the first opening 211 is located, so that the photosensitive element can perform photosensitive action on a part of the external light obliquely incident into the display panel.
Optionally, the light transmittance of the photosensitive region PS is greater than or equal to 15%, and in order to ensure that the light transmittance of the photosensitive region PS is greater than 15%, even greater than 40%, and even higher, the light transmittance of each functional film layer of the display panel in this embodiment is greater than 80%, and even the light transmittance of at least some functional film layers is greater than 90%.
The light path regulating layer is disposed on a side of the light emitting device group 2 away from the substrate 1, the light path regulating layer includes a plurality of second openings 31 located in the first display area AA1 and light path regulating portions 32 distributed around the second openings 31, the second openings 31 at least partially overlap the first openings 211 in an orthographic projection of the pixel defining layer 21, and the light path regulating portions 32 have sidewalls 321 facing the second openings 31. The target optical film layer 4 is disposed on a side of the light path adjusting layer away from the light emitting device group 2, wherein light rays emitted from the light emitting unit 22 and reflected and refracted by the target optical film layer 4 are adjusted in path via the sidewall 321 to avoid a part of the photosensitive region PS to exit.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the target optical film layer 4 has a display surface 42, and the display surface 42 is located on a side of the target optical film layer 4 facing away from the substrate 1. A part of the light emitted by the light emitting unit 22 exits from the display surface 42 by refraction and forms a corresponding display screen, and another part of the light returns to the display panel under the combined action of refraction and reflection. Specifically, the light emitting unit 22 emits a plurality of light rays having different tilt angles, and the plurality of light rays reach the display surface 42 through multiple refractions. At this time, because the refractive indexes of the target optical film layer 4, other functional film layers, and the external environment medium are different, the light is refracted on the target optical film layer 4, and partially or totally reflected on the display surface 42 to return to the display panel and reach the photosensitive area PS, thereby affecting the photosensitive effect.
The light path adjusting layer is located on a side of the light emitting device group 2 facing away from the substrate 1, that is, in a light emitting direction of the light emitting device group 2. The light path regulating layer includes a plurality of light path regulating parts 32 for changing a light propagation path. Specifically, the position of the second opening 31 corresponds to the position of the first opening 211, and the light path regulating part 32 is distributed around the second opening 31, so that the region where the light path regulating part 32 is located can cover part of the photosensitive region PS, wherein the sidewall 321 of the light path regulating part 32 faces the second opening 31 along the first direction X. The light emitting unit 22 emits a part of light rays to return to the display panel by reflection and refraction of the target optical film layer 4, and then reaches the sidewall 321 of the light path regulating portion 32, and changes the propagation path by the refraction or reflection regulation of the sidewall 321 to avoid a part of the photosensitive region PS.
Referring to fig. 4, it can be understood that other functional film layers 6 are disposed between the light emitting device group 2 and the optical path adjusting layer, the functional film layers 6 are sequentially stacked on a side of the light emitting device group 2 away from the substrate 1, different functional film layers 6 have different functions, and other functional film layers may also be disposed between the target optical film layer 4 and the optical path adjusting layer.
This application embodiment is provided with the light path regulation and control layer through being provided with light path regulation and control layer in light-emitting device group 2 light-emitting direction, and the light path regulation and control portion 32 place region in the light path regulation and control layer can cover partial light sensing zone PS to lateral wall 321 that can utilize light path regulation and control portion 32 adjusts the light ray propagation path, in order to dodge partial light sensing zone PS, improves the sensitization effect of light sensing zone PS.
Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the display panel further includes an auxiliary control layer 5, the auxiliary control layer 5 is disposed on a side of the optical path control layer facing away from the substrate 1 and at least partially covers the second opening 31, and a refractive index of the optical path control layer is smaller than a refractive index of the auxiliary control layer 5.
The auxiliary control layer 5 and the optical path control layer are stacked, and the auxiliary control layer 5 at least partially covers the second opening 31, and optionally, a part of the material in the auxiliary control layer 5 is filled in the second opening 31. The auxiliary control layer 5 plays a role in auxiliary control of the light propagation path, the light emitted by the light emitting unit 22 passes through the second opening 31 to reach the auxiliary control layer 5, then enters the target optical film layer 4 through refraction, and returns to the auxiliary control layer 5 through reflection of the display surface 42, and finally the light moves to reach the side wall 321 of the light path control part 32 and moves through refraction or reflection of the light path control part 32. In this process, part of the light enters the light path regulating part 32 from the auxiliary regulating layer through the sidewall 321, as shown in fig. 5, the dotted line in fig. 5 represents the normal direction in which the light reaches the corresponding position in the sidewall 321, and since the refractive index of the light path regulating layer is smaller than that of the auxiliary regulating layer 5, the incident angle of the light at the sidewall 321 is smaller than the refraction angle, so that the light escapes from the partial photosensitive region PS.
With continued reference to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the target optical film layer 4 includes a cover plate 41, the cover plate 41 is disposed on a side of the auxiliary control layer 5 facing away from the substrate 1, and a refractive index of the cover plate 41 is smaller than a refractive index of the auxiliary control layer 5.
The light emitted by the light emitting unit 22 is reflected back to the display panel through the cover plate 41, the light reflected by the cover plate 41 first reaches the auxiliary control layer 5, the auxiliary control layer 5 has a first surface 51 facing the cover plate 41, and since the refractive index of the cover plate 41 is smaller than that of the auxiliary control layer 5, the incident angle of the light at the first surface 51 is larger than the refraction angle, the design can reduce the propagation distance of the light in the first direction X, so that the light can avoid the photosensitive area PS with a larger area.
Referring to fig. 4, 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the light path adjusting layer has a first surface 33 facing the pixel defining layer 21, and an included angle between the sidewall 321 and the first surface 33 is α, where α 1 is ≦ α 2.
The light emitted from the light emitting unit 22 may be partially or totally reflected on the cover plate 41, and generally, the light reflected on the cover plate 41 may have a greater influence on the photosensitive area PS. Specifically, a part of the partially reflected light propagates to the outside by refraction, and another part is reflected back to the display panel. The light beams totally reflected are totally reflected back to the display panel, so the intensity of the light beams totally reflected back to the display panel is larger, and the influence on the photosensitive area PS is larger.
As shown in fig. 6, when the included angle α is α 1, the light reaching the sidewall 321 through total reflection exits along the thickness direction of the optical path control layer under the refraction effect of the sidewall 321.
As shown in fig. 7, when the included angle α is α 2, the light reaching the sidewall 321 through total reflection exits along the thickness direction of the light path adjusting layer under the reflection action of the sidewall 321.
As can be seen from the foregoing, the area where the light path adjusting part 32 is located can cover most of the photosensitive region PS, so that the light beam passing through the sidewall 321 and moving along the thickness direction of the light path adjusting layer can avoid most of the photosensitive region PS. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the included angle α is set between α 1 and α 2, so that the light totally reflected by the cover plate 41 can gradually approach the area where the light emitting unit 22 is located in the first direction X through refraction or reflection of the side wall 321, thereby avoiding most of the photosensitive area PS, and reducing the influence of the light emitted by the light emitting unit 22 on the photosensitive effect of the photosensitive area PS.
Specifically, referring to fig. 4 and fig. 6, when the included angle α is α 1, it is necessary to satisfy both:
sin(α1-β)*n2=sinα1*n1
sinβ*n2=1。
the calculation is integrated by two formulas:

wherein n is1Denotes a refractive index, n, of the optical path regulating layer2Denotes a refractive index of the auxiliary regulation layer 5, and β denotes a refraction angle at which light totally reflected via the cover plate 41 enters the auxiliary regulation layer 5 from the cover plate 41.
Referring to fig. 4 and fig. 7, when the included angle α is α 2, it needs to satisfy both:
sin(α2-β)*n2=n1
sinβ*n2=1。
the calculation is integrated by two formulas:
Figure BDA0003286675720000082
referring to fig. 8 and 9, in some embodiments, the minimum distance between the sidewall 321 of the second opening 31 and the corresponding light emitting unit 22 in the first direction X is D, and the sidewall 321 is in a slope shape and forms an included angle α with the first surface 33, so that the distance between the sidewall 321 and the corresponding light emitting unit 22 in the first direction X is continuously changed along the light emitting direction of the light emitting unit 22. The minimum distance between the sidewall 321 of the second opening 31 and the corresponding light emitting unit 22 in the first direction X is a distance between an end point of the sidewall 321 closest to the light emitting unit 22 and an edge of the first opening 211 corresponding to the light emitting unit 22 along the first direction X. It is understood that the edge of the first opening 211 may be disposed in a slope shape, and the minimum distance between the sidewall 321 of the second opening 31 and the corresponding light emitting unit 22 in the first direction X refers to the distance between the end point of the sidewall 321 closest to the light emitting unit 22 and the end point of the sidewall 321 on the edge of the first opening 211 in the first direction X.
In the embodiment of the present application, when the included angle α is smaller than 90 °, the minimum distance between the sidewall 321 and the corresponding light emitting unit 22 in the first direction X is the distance between the end point of the sidewall 321 contacting the first surface 33 and the edge of the corresponding first opening 211 in the first direction X. When the included angle α is greater than 90 °, the minimum distance between the sidewall 321 and the corresponding light emitting unit 22 in the first direction X is the distance between the end point of the sidewall 321 away from the first surface 33 and the edge of the corresponding first opening 211 in the first direction X.
Alternatively, D1 ≦ D2; as shown in fig. 8, when the distance D is D1, the light emitted from one end of the light emitting unit 22 away from the sidewall 321 in the first direction X reaches the sidewall 321 through the total reflection of the cover plate 41; as shown in fig. 9, when the distance D is D2, the light emitted from the light emitting unit 22 in the first direction X near one end of the sidewall 321 reaches the sidewall 321 via the total reflection of the cover plate 41. Wherein the content of the first and second substances,

Specifically, in the formula
Figure BDA0003286675720000093
L1, the moving distance of the light in the first direction X during the process of the light emitted from the light-emitting unit 22 reaching the cover plate 41, is shown in the formula
Figure BDA0003286675720000094
A value L2 represents a moving distance of the light in the first direction X during the process of moving the light to the auxiliary control layer 5 after the total reflection by the cover plate 41. In the formula (T)2-T1)tan(sin-1(nc*sinθc/n2) Is L3, represents the moving distance of the light in the first direction X during the light moving from the auxiliary control layer 5 to the sidewall 321. T in the formula1The length of the sidewall 321 in one direction is denoted by/tan α.
Note that, the letter m in the formula indicates the number of film layers on the light emitting unit 22 in the display panel, which is not limited in the present application. The letter q indicates the number of the film layers above the auxiliary control layer 5 in the display panel, which is not limited in the present application.
The embodiment of the application flexibly adjusts the minimum distance between the side wall 321 and the corresponding light-emitting unit 22 in the first direction X according to the film layer structure in the display panel, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting unit 22 and totally reflected by the cover plate 41 can accurately reach the position of the side wall 321, and the requirements of practical use are met.
In some embodiments, the included angle α between the sidewall 321 and the first surface 33 ranges from: alpha is more than or equal to 80 degrees and less than or equal to 100 degrees; the range of the minimum distance D between the sidewall 321 of the second opening 31 and the corresponding light emitting unit 22 in the first direction X is: alpha is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 17 mu m.
In the embodiment of the present application, by controlling the size of the included angle between the sidewall 321 and the first surface 33, and the minimum distance between the sidewall 321 and the corresponding light-emitting unit 22 in the first direction X, the light emitted by the light-emitting unit 22 can reach the sidewall 321 of the light path adjusting and controlling portion 32 through the refraction of other films and the total reflection of the cover plate 41, and the propagation path of the light is changed through the refraction or reflection of the light path adjusting and controlling portion 32, so as to avoid part of the light-sensing region PS, and improve the light-sensing effect.
Referring to fig. 10 and 11, in some embodiments, along the first direction X, the minimum distance between the light emitting unit 22 and the sidewall 321 of the corresponding second opening 31 increases as the length of the light emitting unit 22 in the first direction X increases.
The light emitting cells 22 may include a red light emitting cell 221, a green light emitting cell 222, a blue light emitting cell 223, and the like, and the light emitting cells 22 of different colors are different in size, i.e., different in length in the first direction X. Alternatively, the length of the blue light-emitting unit 223 in the first direction X is greater than the length of the green light-emitting unit 222 in the first direction X, and the length of the green light-emitting unit 222 in the first direction X is greater than the length of the red light-emitting unit 221 in the first direction X. In this case, the distance D corresponding to the blue light emitting unit 223 is greater than the distance D corresponding to the green light emitting unit 222; the distance D corresponding to the green light-emitting unit 222 is greater than the distance D corresponding to the red light-emitting unit 221.
The light emitted from the light emitting unit 22 is not completely emitted vertically along the thickness direction of the display panel, and most of the light is emitted away from the display panel along a certain angle, so if the distance between the light emitting unit 22 and the light path adjusting part 32 in the first direction X is too close, the light path adjusting part 32 will affect the display effect of the display panel.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the distance between at least part of the photosensitive region PS and the adjacent light-emitting unit 22 is set to be not less than the distance D, so that at least part of the photosensitive region PS can be prevented from being affected by the light emitted by the light-emitting unit 22 and totally reflected by the cover plate 41, thereby reducing the light interference on the photosensitive region PS and further improving the photosensitive effect of the display panel.
