It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present application may be practiced without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of the present application by illustrating examples thereof.

It is noted that, herein, relational terms such as first and second, and the like may be used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions. Also, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrases "comprising 8230; \8230;" comprises 8230; "does not exclude the presence of additional like elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.

It will be understood that when a layer or region is referred to as being "on" or "over" another layer or region in describing the structure of the element, it can be directly on the other layer or region or intervening layers or regions may also be present. Also, if the component is turned over, one layer or region may be "under" or "beneath" another layer or region.

Features of various aspects of the present application and exemplary embodiments will be described in detail below. Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

With the development of display technologies, parameters such as functions, shapes, application ranges and the like of the existing display panels gradually become diversified to adapt to various requirements of users on the display panels. Accordingly, in order to leave an avoidance space for arranging other required components in the frame area of the display panel, a display panel with a special-shaped frame area is correspondingly provided, and the special-shaped frame area may be used for arranging structures such as openings, grooves and through holes and is subsequently connected with other components.

Based on this, the inventor found that, in order to improve the aperture ratio of the pixels and facilitate the electrical connection between the elements, at least part of the driving circuits are disposed in the non-display regions, i.e., the frame regions, on both sides of the display region, and the driving circuit units are generally connected to the pixels in each row/column in a one-to-one correspondence manner. In the display panel with the irregular frame, the irregular frame area affects the arrangement of the driving circuit, which may result in that some pixel rows/pixel columns cannot be provided with the required driving circuit units at corresponding positions.

In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present application provides a display panel and a corresponding display device, in which a size of a space required by each gate driving circuit disposed in a non-display region in a predetermined direction is compressed and made smaller than a size of a pixel row/a pixel column in the direction, so that the display panel and the non-display region are staggered from each other in an irregular frame region on the premise that the display panel can be connected to the pixel row/the pixel column in a one-to-one correspondence manner.

As an alternative example, the following embodiments of the present application are described only by taking the display panel as a rectangular panel having a special-shaped frame region, but the display panel in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and the corresponding circuit arrangement method may be applied to and protected by display panels of other shapes.

For better understanding of the present application, the display module and the display device according to the embodiment of the present application are described in detail below with reference to fig. 1 to 4.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2 together, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 2 is an enlarged view of a region P in the display panel shown in fig. 1.

In a first aspect, a display panel 100 is provided according to an embodiment of the present application, including a display region 101 and a non-display region 102 located on at least one side of the display region 101, where the non-display region 102 includes a special-shaped frame region 103, the display panel 100 includes pixel rows 10 and a gate driving unit 20, where the pixel rows 10 are disposed in the display region 101, each pixel row 10 extends along a first direction X, and a plurality of pixel rows 10 are arranged along a second direction Y, each pixel row 10 includes a plurality of pixel units 11, where the first direction X intersects the second direction Y; the gate driving units 20 are disposed in the non-display region 102 and staggered from the special-shaped frame region 103, the gate driving units 20 are arranged along the second direction Y, the gate driving units 20 are connected to the pixel rows 10 in a one-to-one correspondence manner, and the size of the gate driving unit 20 in the second direction Y is smaller than the minimum size of the pixel row 10 in the second direction Y.

The display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the application has a display area 101 and a non-display area 102 located on at least one side of the display area 101, where the non-display area 102 may be located on at least one side of the display area 101, located on two opposite sides of the display area 101, or completely surround the display area 101, where the non-display area 102 includes a special-shaped frame area 103, and the special-shaped frame area 103 may be in the form of an opening, a groove, a through hole, and the like, and blocks circuit element settings at the position, that is, the gate driving unit 20 in the non-display area 102 and the special-shaped frame area 103 are arranged in a staggered manner.

It should be understood that the following embodiments and the drawings in the present application take the display panel 100 as a rectangular panel and have one special-shaped frame area 103 in the non-display area 102 on one side of the display area 101 along the first direction X as an example for description, but it should be understood that the present application is not limited thereto, and the special-shaped frame area 103 may be disposed at other positions relative to the display area 101, and each display panel 100 may have a plurality of special-shaped frame areas 103.

The display area 101 of the display panel 100 is provided with a plurality of pixel units 11, the pixel units 11 may be arranged in an array and form a plurality of pixel rows 10 extending along the first direction X, the number of the pixel units 11 in each pixel row 10 may be the same, the pixel rows 10 are sequentially arranged along the second direction Y, and adjacent pixel rows 10 may be arranged in a connection manner or in an interval manner, so as to form the pixel units 11 arranged in the array in the display area 101, so as to achieve a corresponding display function.

A plurality of gate driving units 20 are disposed in the non-display region 102 of the display panel 100, and each gate driving unit 20 is electrically connected to one pixel row 10, that is, the number of gate driving units 20 may be the same as the number of pixel rows 10 and the gate driving units 20 are connected in a one-to-one correspondence, so that each gate driving unit 20 correspondingly controls the driving signal of one row of pixel units 11. Corresponding to the arrangement of the pixel rows 10, the plurality of gate driving units 20 are also sequentially arranged along the second direction Y and are staggered from the partial region where the special-shaped frame region 103 is located, so as to avoid affecting the circuit structure.

Alternatively, the gate driving unit 20 may include a pixel driving shift register, and a plurality of pixel units 11 may be sequentially connected to each pixel row 10 through a same gate line extending along the first direction X, and one end of the gate line may be directly or indirectly connected to the gate driving unit 20, wherein the gate line may be connected to a transistor structure in the pixel unit 11 to provide a corresponding scanning signal and a light emitting control signal to each pixel unit 11, and a specific signal control method may be designed according to a use requirement.

In the embodiment of the present application, the size of the gate driving unit 20 in the second direction Y is smaller than the size of the pixel row 10 in the second direction Y, at this time, the plurality of gate driving units 20 may be sequentially arranged in close proximity along the second direction Y, and the gate driving units 20 and the pixel rows 10 connected thereto are gradually staggered by using a relatively smaller size in the direction, and finally a larger space is formed at the position of the irregular frame region 103 to be adapted to a required irregular frame, and meanwhile, a correct electrical connection relationship between the gate driving unit 20 and the pixel unit 11 can be maintained.

It can be understood that, taking the example that the peripheral side of the display region 101 is provided with the non-display regions 102, two adjacent non-display regions 102 have overlapping regions 1021 at four corners of the display region 101, and the non-display region 102 extending along the second direction Y has the irregular frame region 103 as an example, the gate driving units 20 in the non-display regions 102 may be extended and disposed in the overlapping regions 1021, that is, the gate driving units 20 disposed at the edge of the second direction Y are still disposed in a staggered manner with respect to the pixel rows 10 electrically connected thereto, wherein a plurality of gate driving units 20 are arranged along the second direction, and here, the gate driving units 20 at the edge of the second direction Y refer to the gate driving units 20 at two ends. Therefore, a larger vacant space is reserved for the special-shaped frame area 103, the upper limit of the size of the gate driving unit 20 can be ensured on the premise that the size of the special-shaped frame area 103 is not changed, and the adverse effect of the compressed size on the internal circuit of the gate driving unit 20 is avoided.

In some alternative embodiments, the special-shaped frame area 103 includes an opening recessed from a side edge of the non-display area 102 away from the display area 101 to a direction close to the display area 101, or the special-shaped frame area 103 includes a through hole penetrating the display panel 100 in a thickness direction Z of the display panel 100, and the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the thickness direction Z may intersect with each other.

The special-shaped frame area 103 in the embodiment of the present application may be used to avoid other components, set up sensing components required by the display panel 100, and may itself be an opening that starts from an edge of the display panel 100, that is, an edge of the non-display area 102 that faces away from the display area 101, and is recessed toward the direction in which the display area 101 is located. Alternatively, the special-shaped frame region 103 may be a through hole penetrating the display panel 100 in the thickness direction Z, and a required sensor or image capture module (such as a camera) may be disposed in the frame hole.

In some alternative embodiments, the plurality of gate driving units 20 have the same size in the second direction Y.

In the display panel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, at least a portion of the gate driving units 20 is compressed in the second direction Y to be smaller than the minimum size of the pixel rows 10, so as to form a vacant space. On this basis, the size of each gate driving unit 20 in the second direction Y may be the same, so that the components, the routing, and the like inside each gate driving unit 20 can adopt the same arrangement method, so as to facilitate batch processing, and electrical performance errors caused by hardware differences among a plurality of gate driving units 20 can be reduced.

In some alternative embodiments, at least a portion of the gate driving unit 20 disposed adjacent to the special-shaped frame region 13 is disposed in a staggered manner with respect to the pixel row 10 electrically connected thereto in the second direction Y, and the pixel row 10 and the gate driving unit 20 disposed in the staggered manner are electrically connected through the fanout line 30, and the fanout line 30 is at least partially disposed in the non-display region 102.

The gate driving unit 20 in the embodiment of the present application has a smaller size in the second direction Y than the pixel row 10, and thus the gate driving unit 20 can be more intensively disposed in the portion of the non-display region 102 where the irregular frame region 103 is not disposed. The aforementioned adjacently disposed gate driving units 20 refer to the partial gate driving units 20 disposed near the shaped frame region 103 in the second direction Y. In the embodiment where the gate driving unit 20 at the outermost edge is disposed opposite to the pixel row 10 electrically connected to the gate driving unit 20, the gate driving units 20 sequentially disposed along the second direction Y are gradually staggered from the pixel row 10 electrically connected to the gate driving unit, and the staggered distance is gradually increased, at this time, the gate driving units 20 and the pixel rows 10 may be electrically connected to each other through the fanout line 30, and a certain included angle is formed between the overall extending direction of the fanout line 30 and each of the first direction X and the second direction Y, and the included angle is greater than 0 ° and smaller than 90 °.

In some alternative embodiments, the minimum spacing between adjacent fanout lines 30 is greater than or equal to 1.5 μm, and the width of the fanout line 30 in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the fanout line 30 is greater than or equal to 1.5 μm.

In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the electrical connection, the fanout lines 30 in the embodiment of the present application have certain limitations on the width of the fanout lines 30 and the distance between adjacent fanout lines 30. The width of the fanning-out line 30 in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction thereof may be greater than or equal to 1.5 μm to ensure the stability of the electrical connection and avoid the occurrence of processing errors or broken circuit caused by the occurrence of damaged portions. Meanwhile, the distance between the adjacent fanout lines 30 may be greater than or equal to 1.5 μm, so as to avoid the problem of short circuit caused by the mis-communication between the adjacent fanout lines 30 during the processing or using process.

In some alternative embodiments, along the second direction Y, the display panel 100 is sequentially provided with m gate driving units 20 and n pixel rows 10, a maximum size of the gate driving unit 20 in the second direction Y is L1, and a minimum size of the pixel row in the second direction Y is L2, where m × L1 < n × L2, optionally 1 μm ≦ L2-L1 ≦ 10 μm.

The display panel 100 in the embodiment of the present application includes a plurality of pixel rows 10 sequentially arranged along the second direction Y and a plurality of gate driving units 20 also sequentially arranged along the second direction Y, where the number of the pixel rows 10 may be n rows, and the number of the gate driving units 20 arranged along the second direction Y in the same non-display region 102 may be m, and optionally, m = n. In this technique, the maximum size of the gate driving unit 20 in the second direction Y is L1, the minimum size of the pixel row in the second direction Y is L2, and m × L1 < n × L2, that is, the size of the plurality of pixel rows 10 extending in the second direction Y should be larger than the size of the plurality of gate driving units 20 extending in the second direction Y, so as to allow for the arrangement of the special-shaped frame region 103.

It is understood that, when the minimum size of the gate driving unit 20 in the direction is denoted as L1 and the minimum size of the pixel row 10 in the direction is denoted as L2, L1 < L2 should be provided, and the difference between the two should be 1 μm to 10 μm. The difference in this range allows the gate driving unit 20 to leave a space with a sufficient size for the special-shaped frame region 103 after being staggered with the pixel rows 10 electrically connected to the gate driving unit 20, and can avoid the adverse effect of the over-size compression on the elements and the routing in the gate driving unit 20.

In some optional embodiments, the gate driving unit 20 is provided with driving traces inside, a maximum distance between adjacent driving traces is less than or equal to 2.5 μm, and a width of the driving trace in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the driving trace is less than or equal to 2.5 μm. Further, the minimum spacing between adjacent driving traces is greater than or equal to 1.5 μm, and the width of the driving traces in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the driving traces is greater than or equal to 1.5 μm.

The gate driving unit 20 in the embodiment of the present application compresses the size in the second direction Y, and specifically, the gate driving unit 20 may be provided therein with a plurality of required driving elements such as capacitors and thin film transistors and driving traces connected between the driving elements, so that the gate driving unit 20 may compress the size of the gate driving unit 20 in the second direction Y by compressing parameters such as the line width of the internal driving traces, the line pitch of the traces, and the pitch between the driving traces and the driving elements. On this basis, the width of the driving traces in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the driving traces can be less than or equal to 2.5 μm, and accordingly, the distance between adjacent driving traces can be less than or equal to 2.5 μm, so that the line width and the line distance parameters are less than or equal to the common parameters of the driving traces in the gate driving unit, so as to effectively compress the size of the gate driving unit 20 in the second direction Y by compressing the line width and the line distance.

Similar to the arrangement of the fanout line 30, the width of the driving trace inside the gate driving unit 20 in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction thereof may be greater than or equal to 1.5 μm, and the distance between adjacent driving traces may be greater than or equal to 1.5 μm, so as to ensure the stable reliability of the electrical connection and avoid the short circuit and open circuit problems.

In some alternative embodiments, the gate driving unit 20 includes a plurality of driving elements electrically connected to each other through driving traces, the driving elements include capacitors and thin film transistors, etc., and at least a portion of the plurality of driving elements are arranged along the first direction X, so that the size of the gate driving unit 20 along the second direction Y is reduced.

Besides compressing the trace width and the trace pitch, the gate driving unit 20 in the embodiment of the present application may also perform size compression in the second direction Y by adjusting the relative positions where the internal driving elements are disposed, that is, a plurality of driving elements inside the gate driving unit 20 may be sequentially disposed along the first direction X as much as possible, so that the size of the gate driving unit 20 in the second direction Y is reduced by increasing the size along the first direction X on the premise that the number and size of the internal elements are not changed, and the driving elements may be electronic elements such as a flip-flop.

It is understood that the position of the driving element inside the gate driving unit 20 should be adjusted in consideration of the corresponding electrical connection relationship between multiple elements, and when the driving trace changes correspondingly with the position change of the driving element, the aforementioned specification of the trace line width and the line pitch should also be followed, that is, the width of the driving trace perpendicular to the extending direction of the driving trace and the minimum pitch between adjacent driving traces should both be greater than or equal to 1.5 μm, so as to maintain the stable reliability of the electrical connection of the driving trace after the position of the driving element is adjusted.

In some alternative embodiments, the display panel 100 is respectively provided with non-display regions 102 on two opposite sides of the display region 101 along the first direction X, each non-display region 102 is provided with a plurality of gate driving units 20, and two ends of each pixel row 10 are respectively connected to the gate driving units 20 of the gate driving units 20 disposed in different non-display regions 102 for alternately driving, or the gate driving units 20 disposed in different non-display regions 102 for simultaneously driving.

The display panel 100 in the embodiment of the application has the pixel units 11 disposed in the display area 101 and the gate driving units 20 disposed in the non-display area 102, each gate driving unit 20 is electrically connected to the pixel rows 10 formed by the plurality of pixel units 11, on this basis, the non-display area 102 may be disposed on two opposite sides of the display area 101 along the first direction X, and the gate driving units 20 are disposed in the two non-display areas 102, at this time, the two sides of the pixel rows 10 may be simultaneously connected with the gate driving units 20, that is, two ends of each pixel row 10 are respectively connected to the gate driving units 20 on the two sides.

In the embodiment where the two gate driving units 20 are connected to the pixel row 10, according to the difference of the driving methods such as the double-side driving or the single-side driving adopted by the display panel 100, the two gate driving units 20 connected to each pixel row 10 may provide a driving effect simultaneously in each driving period, or the two gate driving units 20 may alternately drive the pixel rows 10 electrically connected in common according to the driving periods, which is not particularly limited in this application.

It is understood that in the embodiment where the irregular frame regions 103 are disposed in the non-display regions 102 on both sides, as the positions of the irregular frame regions 103 in the second direction Y are different, the gate driving units 20 connected to both ends of the same pixel row 10 may also be correspondingly located at different positions in the second direction Y, and the specific arrangement may be determined according to the positions of the irregular frame regions 103.

Correspondingly, in the embodiment where only one side of the non-display region 102 has the special-shaped frame region 103, as shown in fig. 4, the gate driving units 20 in the one side of the non-display region 102 without the special-shaped frame region 103 may adopt the same size as the pixel rows 10 in the second direction Y, i.e., the gate driving units 20 are not compressed in size, and the original arrangement is maintained.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 5, the gate driving unit 20 in the non-display region 102 on the side without the special-shaped frame region 103 may still have the same size as the gate driving unit 20 on the other side offset from the special-shaped frame region 103, so as to facilitate uniform processing. At this time, the gate driving units 20 without the special-shaped frame region 103 may be disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the pixel rows 10 electrically connected to themselves in the second direction Y, that is, the adjacent gate driving units 20 are disposed at intervals, or alternatively, the gate driving units may be disposed in a staggered manner and connected by using fanout lines having a certain included angle between the fanout lines and the first direction X and the fanout lines and the second direction Y similarly to the foregoing disposing method, which is not specifically limited in the present application.
