In fig. 2, the display panel may further include: the cover plate 19 is located on one side of the array layer 15, which is away from the substrate 11, and when functions such as fingerprint identification or touch control are performed, the finger fingerprint 20 is in contact with the cover plate 19.
It should be noted that other functional film layers are also included between the cover plate 19 and the array layer 15, which are not shown in fig. 2 and are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
In this embodiment, the first electrode 12 is an electrode on a side of the under-screen ultrasonic fingerprint sensor facing away from the TFT substrate (corresponding to the array layer 15 in this application), and the whole first electrode 12 is formed by printing, but not limited to, without performing a blocking process on the first electrode 12.
That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, the first electrode 12 has a full-surface electrode structure, that is, the film layer where the first electrode 12 is located may have a full-surface structure, so that the structure of the display panel is simpler and the manufacturing cost is lower.
The second electrode 14 is an electrode on one side of the under-screen ultrasonic fingerprint sensor adjacent to the TFT substrate and is disposed in the TFT substrate, and based on the manufacturing process of the TFT substrate, a plurality of independent second electrodes 14 can be formed very simply and with high precision, so that the requirement for precision of the fingerprint sensing pixel unit can be met by the blocking processing of the plurality of second electrodes 14.
It should be noted that in the present application, at least one second electrode 14 serves as a fingerprint sensing pixel unit.
In fig. 1, the second electrode layer 14 and the array layer 15 are illustrated as two film layers, and the second electrode layer 14 may be one of the film layers in the array layer 15.
As shown in fig. 2, the array layer 15 includes a plurality of transistors 16, one transistor 16 corresponds to one second electrode 14, the second electrode 14 is electrically connected to one electrode terminal of the transistor 16, and a driving signal for generating an ultrasonic signal is applied to the corresponding second electrode 14 through the other electrode terminal of the transistor 16 by the underscreen fingerprint sensor.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a finger touch display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 3, the valleys 201 and ridges 202 in the finger print 20 reflect the ultrasonic waves generated during the ultrasonic driving phase, because the interface impedance of the valleys 201 and ridges 202 in the finger print 20 is different, the valleys 201 are located as a cavity, the inside is filled with air, the interface where the ridges 202 are located is the skin surface, and the impedance of the air is generally lower than that of other media; therefore, when a finger touches the display panel, the ultrasonic waves generated in the ultrasonic drive stage are reflected at different positions of the valleys 201 and the ridges 202 after being emitted to the finger, and the reflected energy at the positions of the valleys 201 is strong, so that the positions of the valleys 201 and the ridges 202 can be determined by the fingerprint recognition signals output from the respective second electrodes 14.
It should be noted that the concept of the valley 201 and the ridge 202 in the finger fingerprint 20 in the embodiment of the present application is explained with respect to the finger, and in fig. 3, the position of the protrusion in the curve represents the position of the valley 201, and the position of the depression in the curve represents the position of the ridge 202.

That is to say, this application can also apply drive signal through the mode that adopts the phased array outside can satisfying the high accuracy demand of fingerprint sensing pixel unit to the intensity of the ultrasonic wave of ultrasonic fingerprint sensor output under the reinforcing ultrasonic drive stage screen, and then improve display panel's fingerprint detection precision.

The first driving signal and the second driving signal are driving signals for driving the under-screen fingerprint sensor to generate ultrasonic signals.
In order to emit ultrasonic waves with stronger energy, the phases of the first driving signal and the second driving signal are different, so that the ultrasonic waves generated by the first driving signal and the ultrasonic waves generated by the second driving signal can be converged in a certain area in the transmission process to form the ultrasonic waves with stronger energy, the energy of the emitted ultrasonic waves is improved, the energy of the ultrasonic waves after being reflected by fingerprints is also enhanced, and the fingerprint identification capability of the display panel is further improved.

In this embodiment, in the direction perpendicular to the substrate 11, the orthographic projection of the first electrode 12 on the substrate 11 completely covers the orthographic projection of any one of the second electrodes 14 on the substrate 11, so that the signal applied to the piezoelectric sensing layer 13 can be stronger, and the fingerprint identification signal output by the second electrode 14 after the piezoelectric sensing layer 13 receives the reflected ultrasonic signal can be stronger, thereby improving the accuracy and sensitivity of fingerprint detection of the display panel.
Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is a schematic circuit structure diagram of a control circuit for applying a driving signal to a second electrode according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The display panel further includes: and the control circuits 100 are in one-to-one correspondence with the second electrodes 14.
The control circuit 100 includes: a first diode D1, a second diode D2, a first transistor M1, a second transistor M2, a third transistor M3 and a capacitor Cp.
An anode of the first diode D1 is connected to a first electrode terminal of the second transistor M2 to form a first connection node a1, the first connection node a1 is electrically connected to a first trace L1, and the first trace L1 is used for transmitting the driving signal DiodeBias.
The second electrode terminal of the second transistor M2 is connected to the gate of the first transistor M1 to form a second connection node a2, and the second connection node a2 is electrically connected to the second electrode 14.
The cathode of the first diode D1 is connected to the first plate of the capacitor Cp to form a third connection node A3, and the third connection node A3 is electrically connected to the second connection node a2 and the second electrode 14, respectively.
The second plate of the capacitor Cp is grounded.
A first electrode terminal of the first transistor M1 is electrically connected to the second electrode terminal of the third transistor M3, and a second electrode terminal of the first transistor M1 is electrically connected to a voltage input terminal Vcc.
A first electrode terminal of the third transistor M3 is electrically connected to a second trace L2, and the second trace L2 is used for transmitting an output signal Dn of the control circuit.
The gate of the second transistor M2 is electrically connected to a third trace L3, and the third trace L3 is used for transmitting a first control signal OverDrive.
The gate of the third transistor M3 is electrically connected to a fourth trace L4, and the fourth trace L4 is used for transmitting a second control signal Rn.
An anode of the second diode D2 is electrically connected to the first trace L1, and a cathode of the second diode D2 is electrically connected to the third trace L3.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 11, the display panel further includes: a fifth trace L5, the fifth trace L5 is electrically connected to the first electrode 12, and the fifth trace L5 is used for transmitting the fixed voltage signal VDD applied to the first electrode 12.
Referring to fig. 12, fig. 12 is a schematic signal waveform diagram provided by an embodiment of the invention, in the ultrasonic driving stage, the fixed voltage signal VDD is continuously applied to the first electrode 12 through the fifth wire L5, and the driving signal DiodeBias is applied to the second electrode 14 through the first wire L1.
As shown in fig. 12, the driving signal DiodeBias includes a positive half-cycle driving signal and a negative half-cycle driving signal, and in order to realize the ultrasonic wave with stronger energy, the voltage value of the driving signal DiodeBias is larger, and when the driving signal DiodeBias is the positive half-cycle driving signal, the positive half-cycle driving signal is also applied to one electrode terminal of the second transistor M2; the second transistor M2 may now be broken down.
In order to prevent the second transistor M2 from being broken down, in this application, the second diode D2 is provided, so that the anode of the second diode D2 is electrically connected to the first trace L1, and the cathode of the second diode D2 is electrically connected to the third trace L3, so that the positive half-cycle driving signal is also applied to the gate of the second transistor M2 through the second diode D2, so that the voltage difference between the gate of the second transistor M2 and the electrode is close to zero, and it is ensured that the second transistor M2 is in the off state in the ultrasonic sampling stage and will not be broken down.
Therefore, when the driving signal DiodeBias is a positive half-cycle driving signal, the positive half-cycle driving signal applies the driving signal DiodeBias to the second electrode 14 through the first diode D1 and charges the capacitor Cp, and the voltage of the third node A3 belongs to a stable state in the case of the saturated state of the capacitor Cp.
Moreover, since the positive half-cycle driving signal is transmitted to the gate of the first transistor M1 after passing through the first diode D1, in order to prevent the breakdown of the first transistor M1, in the embodiment of the present application, the voltage input terminal Vcc is in a floating state, so as to ensure that a local circuit of the first transistor M1 is in an open circuit state, so as to protect the first transistor M1, and obviously, the third transistor M3 is also protected when the protection of the first transistor M1 is implemented.
When the driving signal DiodeBias is a negative half-cycle driving signal, the second transistor M2 can be turned on by the first control signal OverDrive, and the negative half-cycle driving signal applies the driving signal DiodeBias to the second electrode 14 through the second transistor M2 and charges the capacitor Cp, and the voltage of the third node A3 belongs to a stable state when the capacitor Cp is in a saturated state.
Based on this, in the ultrasonic driving stage, the driving signal diode bias is applied to the second electrode 14 through the first diode D1 or the second transistor M2, and the first electrode 12 continuously receives the fixed voltage signal VDD through the fifth wire L5, so that a voltage difference is formed between the piezoelectric sensing layers 13, the piezoelectric material in the piezoelectric sensing layers 13 is deformed, or the piezoelectric material in the piezoelectric sensing layers 13 drives the upper and lower film layers to vibrate together, thereby generating ultrasonic waves to transmit the ultrasonic waves.
In the ultrasonic sampling phase, that is, in the ultrasonic receiving phase, the fixed voltage signal VDD is continuously applied to the first electrode 12 through the fifth trace L5, and after the piezoelectric sensing layer 13 receives the ultrasonic wave, fingerprint identification signals are respectively output through the second electrodes 14, where the fingerprint identification signals are signals represented by the voltage.
The fingerprint identification signal is applied to the gate of the first transistor M1 in combination with a stable voltage signal from the third node a3, and another voltage signal is applied through the first trace L1 and is also applied to the gate of the first transistor M1 through the first diode D1 to ensure that the first transistor M1 is completely in a conducting state, at which the voltage input terminal Vcc is not in a floating state, and the first transistor M1 is in a conducting state by a voltage signal input at the control voltage input terminal Vcc, at which the first transistor M1 converts the received voltage signal into a current signal I to be output.
In the ultrasonic reading stage, the third transistor M3 is in a conducting state, and the output signal Dn of the control circuit 100 is transmitted through the second wire L2 to be processed by the back-end circuit of the control circuit 100.
Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, since the voltage of the driving signal diode bias transmitted by the first trace L1 is higher, in order to prevent a higher capacitive load from existing between the first trace L1, the third trace L3, and the fourth trace L4, the first trace L1, the third trace L3, and the fourth trace L4 are disposed in different layers and separated by more film layers as much as possible, so as to reduce the capacitive load between the traces to the greatest extent and reduce the risk of the trace insulating layer being broken down.
Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, in order to apply the same driving signal to the plurality of second electrodes 14 in each second electrode region 14A, the first traces L1 of the plurality of second electrodes 14 may be connected together, and the purpose of applying the same driving signal to the plurality of second electrodes 14 is achieved through one signal port, so as to simplify the wiring difficulty of the display panel.
Optionally, based on all the above embodiments of the present application, in another embodiment of the present application, a driving method of a display panel is further provided, where the driving method is applied to the display panel described in the above embodiments of the present application, and referring to fig. 13, fig. 13 is a schematic flow chart of the driving method of the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present invention.
The driving method includes:
s101: in the ultrasonic driving stage, a driving signal is applied to each second electrode area, and the phases of the driving signals applied to any two second electrode areas are different; a fixed voltage signal is applied to the first electrode.
In the embodiment, in the ultrasonic driving stage, the second electrode receives a driving signal used for generating an ultrasonic signal by the finger print sensor under the screen, and the first electrode is a whole-surface electrode film layer used for receiving a fixed voltage signal; at this moment, the piezoelectric material in the piezoelectric sensing layer can deform, or the piezoelectric material in the piezoelectric sensing layer can drive the upper film layer and the lower film layer to vibrate together, so that ultrasonic waves are generated and transmitted out.
In the ultrasonic receiving stage, a fixed voltage signal is input to the first electrode, and after the piezoelectric induction layer receives the ultrasonic wave, fingerprint identification signals are respectively output through the second electrodes.
