As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a pixel structure 100, which includes a plurality of pixel unit groups 10 arranged in an array, wherein sub-pixels in each pixel unit group 10 are arranged according to a preset virtual pattern, and the virtual pattern includes two virtual rectangles 11 adjacently arranged according to a first direction y. Two pixel unit groups 10 adjacently arranged along the first direction y (i.e. two adjacent pixel unit groups 10 arranged above and below) are a smallest repeating unit, i.e. sub-pixels arranged in a matrix of 8 rows and 4 columns.
Each pixel unit group 10 is four pixel units 101 arranged in a matrix, each pixel unit 101 includes a first sub-pixel 1, a second sub-pixel 2 and a third sub-pixel 3, wherein the first sub-pixel 1 is a blue (B) sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel 2 is a red (R) sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel 3 is a green (G) sub-pixel.
Specifically, the plurality of first sub-pixels 1 are disposed near a center point of the virtual rectangle 11, the plurality of second sub-pixels 2 are disposed inside the virtual graph and near two side edges along the first direction y, and the plurality of third sub-pixels 3 are disposed inside the virtual graph and near two side edges along the first direction y. In the pixel structure 100, two or more pixel cell groups 10 are adjacently disposed in the second direction x, which is perpendicular to the first direction y. The second sub-pixel 2 or the third sub-pixel 3 belonging to two adjacent pixel cell groups 10 are adjacently disposed.
As shown in fig. 2, the first sub-pixel 1 includes a first electrode 44, a first light-emitting layer 41, and a second electrode 45 stacked in sequence, and in the same pixel unit group 10, the first light-emitting layer 41 covers at least two adjacent first electrodes 44. The second sub-pixel 2 includes a first electrode 44, a second light emitting layer 42, and a second electrode 45 stacked in this order. The third sub-pixel 3 includes a first electrode 44, a third light emitting layer 43, and a second electrode 45 stacked in this order. In the same pixel cell group 10, or in two adjacent pixel cell groups 10, the second light emitting layer 42 covers at least two adjacent first electrodes 44, and the third light emitting layer 43 covers at least two adjacent first electrodes 44.
As can be seen from fig. 1, in the same pixel unit group 10, the first electrodes 44 of the four adjacent first sub-pixels 1 are covered by one first light-emitting layer 41, and the first electrodes 44 of the two adjacent second sub-pixels 2 are covered by one second light-emitting layer 42. Alternatively, in the same pixel cell group 10, the first electrodes 44 of the four first sub-pixels 1 disposed adjacent to each other are covered with one first light-emitting layer 41, and the first electrodes 44 of the two third sub-pixels 3 disposed adjacent to each other are covered with one third light-emitting layer 43.

Alternatively, in two pixel cell groups 10 adjacently disposed on the left and right, the first electrodes 44 of two second sub-pixels 2 adjacently disposed are covered by one second light-emitting layer 42, and the first electrodes 44 of four third sub-pixels 3 adjacently disposed are covered by one third light-emitting layer 43.
In general, in the same pixel unit group 10 or two adjacent pixel unit groups 10, the first electrodes 44 of two or more sub-pixels with the same color that are adjacently arranged are covered by one light emitting layer, and such arrangement combines the evaporation openings of the sub-pixels, thereby reducing the design difficulty of a mask (FMM) and the color mixing risk after evaporation.
In the present embodiment, the first sub-pixel 1, the second sub-pixel 2, and the third sub-pixel 3 transmit light of different colors, and the area of the first sub-pixel 1 is larger than the area of the second sub-pixel 2 or the area of the third sub-pixel. Therefore, the total number of sub-pixels in the present embodiment is reduced, high resolution can be achieved, and power consumption can be reduced by improving light efficiency.
In the same pixel cell group 10, the second subpixels 2 and the third subpixels 3 of the two or more pixel cells 101 arranged along the first direction y are arranged on the same straight line. Further, in the first virtual rectangle 11a, two second sub-pixels 2 belonging to two pixel units 101 are adjacently disposed and located between two third sub-pixels 3. In the second virtual rectangle 11b, two third sub-pixels 3 belonging to two pixel units 101 are adjacently disposed and located between two second sub-pixels 2.
In the pixel structure 100, a first boundary line L1 is formed at the junction of two virtual rectangles 11 defined in the first direction y. That is, a first boundary line L1 can be formed at the junction of every two virtual rectangles 11 arranged one above the other. In the first virtual rectangle 11a, the distance between the third sub-pixel 3 close to the first dividing line L1 and the first dividing line L1 is greater than the first predetermined threshold value and less than or equal to the distance between the first sub-pixel 1 close to the first dividing line L1 and the first dividing line L1. In the second virtual rectangle 11b, the distance between the second sub-pixel 2 close to the first boundary line L1 and the first boundary line L1 is greater than the second predetermined threshold value and less than or equal to the distance between the first sub-pixel 1 close to the first boundary line L1 and the first boundary line L1.
In the same pixel cell group 10, a second boundary line L2 is formed at the junction of two adjacent pixel cells 101 arranged along the first direction y, and the two first sub-pixels 1, the two second sub-pixels 2, and the two third sub-pixels 3 belonging to the two pixel cells 101 are respectively symmetrical with respect to the second boundary line L2. In the first virtual rectangle 11a, the pitch of the two second sub-pixels 2 belonging to the two pixel units 101 is equal to the pitch of the two first sub-pixels 1 belonging to the two pixel units 101. In the second virtual rectangle 11b, the pitch of the two third sub-pixels 3 belonging to the two pixel units 101 is equal to the pitch of the two first sub-pixels 1 belonging to the two pixel units 101. It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, two pixel cell groups 10 are arranged along the second direction x, and the two virtual rectangles 11 form a third dividing line L3 at the junction in the first direction y, and the pixel cell group 10 on the left side and the pixel cell group 10 on the right side are symmetrical with respect to the third dividing line L3.
In the present embodiment, in the first virtual rectangle 11a or the second virtual rectangle 11b, the distance between the second pixel and the third sub-pixel 3 adjacently disposed along the first direction y is smaller than or equal to the distance between the first sub-pixel 1 and the second sub-pixel 2 adjacently disposed along the second direction x; alternatively, the pitch between the second and third sub-pixels 3 and 1 adjacently disposed along the first direction y is smaller than or equal to the pitch between the third and second sub-pixels 3 and 3 adjacently disposed along the second direction x.
In the same pixel unit group 10, the distance between the first sub-pixel 1 and the adjacent second sub-pixel 2 is a first pitch, and the distance between the first sub-pixel 1 and the adjacent third sub-pixel 3 is a second pitch. In two pixel cell groups 10 adjacently disposed along the first direction y, the shortest distance between the first subpixel 1 in one pixel cell group 10 and the first subpixel 1 in the other pixel cell group 10 is the third pitch. In the present embodiment, the first pitch or the second pitch is smaller than the third pitch, so that two pixel cell groups 10 adjacent in the first direction y can reserve sufficient space to place the spacer 20.
In this embodiment, the plurality of spacers 20 are disposed at the joint of the two virtual rectangles 11 at intervals, and are located in the gap between the first sub-pixel 1 and the second sub-pixel 2 or the third sub-pixel 3 in the second direction x. That is to say, the spacing pillars 20 are disposed at the gaps between two pixel unit groups 10 disposed vertically adjacent to each other, and the spacing pillars 20 are located at the gaps between the first sub-pixel 1 and the second pixel or the third sub-pixel 3 in the row direction, so that the spacing pillars 20 do not completely occupy the positions of the columns where the first sub-pixel 1 is located, nor completely occupy the positions of the columns where the second sub-pixel 2 and the third sub-pixel 3 are located, thereby reducing the risk of scratching the spacing pillars 20, and reducing the influence of scratching the light emitting area by the spacing pillars 20, thereby improving the yield of the display panel.
Further, the spacer 20 of this embodiment is an inverted trapezoid, which can increase the contact area between the mask and the spacer 20, and effectively support the mask, thereby reducing the risks of color mixing and dislocation.
