In order to meet the needs of users, the local functional area of some OLED display devices needs to set a light-transmitting display area in the screen area above the light sensing device (mainly the under-screen camera area) while displaying images normally. Applicants have found that the shape of the light transmissive and opaque cell regions of a light transmissive display region is related to light diffraction, e.g., light transmissive boundary lines and sharp corners tend to increase the range of diffraction. In order to reduce the influence of light diffraction on the under-screen light sensing element, the boundary of the light transmission unit area is designed to be an outer convex arc of a non-concentric center, so that the problems of light diffraction and influence on imaging effect and display effect in the prior art are solved.
Referring to fig. 1 to 5, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a display panel provided in the present application; FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a light-transmitting display area according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the first quadrilateral provided herein; FIG. 4 is an enlarged partial schematic view of a portion C of the junction of the opaque cell regions of FIG. 2; fig. 5 is a schematic structural view of dividing a region in an annular conductive partition structure into a plurality of sub-pixel regions.
The display panel 200 provided herein includes a light transmissive display region 100; the light-transmitting display area 100 includes a plurality of light-impermeable unit areas 10 connected to each other and a plurality of light-transmitting unit areas 20 arranged at intervals; the opaque unit areas 10 are provided with a plurality of sub-pixels, the plurality of opaque unit areas 10 and the plurality of transparent unit areas 20 are arranged in an array, the opaque unit areas 10 and the transparent unit areas 20 of the same row are alternately arranged, and the opaque unit areas 10 and the transparent unit areas 20 of the same column are alternately arranged. Wherein, the boundary between the adjacent light-transmitting unit area 20 and the light-non-transmitting unit area 10 is an arc; the light-transmitting unit area 20 is a first quadrilateral 21, and four sides of the first quadrilateral 21 are convex arcs with non-concentric centers. Accordingly, the cross-sectional pattern of the opaque unit area 10 on the plane parallel to the first direction and the second direction is a second quadrangle 11, and four sides of the second quadrangle 11 are concave arcs.
It is understood that the area of the display panel 200 other than the light transmissive display area 100 may be the conventional display area 300. The conventional display area 300 is typically an opaque area.
In one embodiment, the four sides of the first quadrilateral 21 are convex arcs with the same length; the corner 201 of the first quadrangle 21 is also an outward convex arc, and the radius R1 of the arc of the corner 201 of the first quadrangle 21 is smaller than the radius R2 of the arc of the side of the first quadrangle 21, i.e. the area of the first quadrangle 21 is smaller than the area of the circle formed by each side and is also larger than the area of the rectangle with four sides being straight lines. Accordingly, the four sides of the second quadrangle 11 are concave arcs with the same length, so that the area of the first quadrangle 21 adopted by the light-transmitting unit area 20 is obviously larger than that of the second quadrangle 11 adopted by the light-non-transmitting unit area 10.
In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the maximum distance of the opposite corners of the first quadrangle 21 is D1, and the maximum distance of the opposite sides of the first quadrangle 21 is D2, wherein D1 is equal to or greater than 2×r1, D2 is equal to or less than 2×r2, and D1 is equal to or greater than D2, so that the first quadrangle 21 has a larger area to improve the light transmission capability, and meanwhile, each arc side of the first quadrangle 21 is excessively curved, so that the strong light diffraction caused by the sharp area can be limited and improved.
Each opaque unit area 10 is provided with a plurality of sub-pixels, for example, three sub-pixels, namely, a first sub-pixel 113, a second sub-pixel 112 and a third sub-pixel 111 are provided for each opaque unit area 10. For example, in the present embodiment, the first subpixel 113 is a red pixel (R), the second subpixel 112 is a green pixel (G), and the third subpixel 111 is a blue pixel (B). In an embodiment, the shape of the pattern formed by splicing the plurality of sub-pixels of the same opaque unit area 10 is the same as the shape of the opaque unit area 10, so that the plurality of sub-pixels can completely cover the opaque unit area 10, and the utilization efficiency of the area of the opaque unit area 10 is improved. The adjacent two differently colored sub-pixels are isolated only by the conductive partition structure 50. Specifically, the present application provides a conductive isolation structure 50 between the periphery of the opaque unit region 10 and adjacent sub-pixels in the opaque unit region 10 through the semiconductor process, and then vapor-depositing an organic light emitting material. That is, the present application adopts the conductive partition structure 50 to evaporate the organic light emitting material instead of the process of evaporating the organic light emitting material using a Fine Metal Mask (FMM) in the conventional art, so that the shape of the sub-pixel in the present application can be set independently without being limited by the shape of the mask. Therefore, by designing the shape of the sub-pixels, the shape of the pattern formed by the plurality of sub-pixels of the same opaque unit area 10 by stitching can be made identical to the shape of the opaque unit area 10 and substantially identical in size. For example, in the present embodiment, the shape of the opaque unit area 10 is set to be the second quadrangle 11 with each side being a concave arc, the pattern formed by the first sub-pixel 113, the second sub-pixel 112 and the third sub-pixel 111 in the opaque unit area 10 is also the second quadrangle 11 with each side being a concave arc, and only the distance between the boundary of the pattern formed by the first sub-pixel 113, the second sub-pixel 112 and the third sub-pixel 111 and the boundary of the opaque unit area 10 is the width of the conductive partition structure 50, so that the space of the opaque unit area 10 can be fully utilized for displaying. It will be appreciated that the width of the conductive partition structure 50 fabricated by the semiconductor process is smaller than the interval between the sub-pixels evaporated by the FMM, so that the non-display opaque unit area 10 can be fully utilized and the display area of the transparent display area 100 can be increased compared to the conventional design.
The arrangement mode of the plurality of light-transmitting unit areas 20 in the light-transmitting display area 100 is better than the conventional island-shaped separated pixel luminous design display effect, and can effectively improve the particle sense of display. The cathode electrodes 1107 of adjacent sub-pixels are connected, so that a better display effect is achieved, and circuit wiring which penetrates through the whole surface can be arranged below the connection part 102, such as ELVDD, DATA and other signal lines, so that space overlapping utilization is achieved.
In one embodiment, the connection between two adjacent opaque unit regions 10 is formed by the conductive partition structure 50, and the connection 102 of two adjacent opaque unit regions 10 shares the conductive partition structure 50.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 4, the conductive partition structure 50 of the opaque unit region 10 includes an annular conductive partition structure 501 and a split conductive partition structure 502; the annular conductive partition structure 501 extends along the boundary of the opaque unit area 10 to form an annular shape, and the two opaque unit areas 10 connected with each other share part of the annular conductive partition structure 501 at the connection part 102. The plurality of split conductive partition structures 502 are located in the annular conductive partition structure 501 and divide the area in the annular conductive partition structure 501 into a plurality of sub-pixel areas 110, one sub-pixel is arranged corresponding to each sub-pixel area 110, and two adjacent sub-pixels are partitioned by the split conductive partition structure 502. For example, two divided conductive partition structures 502 disposed in parallel at intervals divide an area within the annular conductive partition structure 501 into three sub-pixel areas, and the three sub-pixel areas are provided with the first sub-pixel 113, the second sub-pixel 112, and the third sub-pixel 111, respectively.
For convenience of explanation, hereinafter, an extending direction of each sub-pixel within the sub-pixel region 110 is defined as a first direction, a row arrangement direction of the sub-pixels in fig. 2, 6 to 9 is defined as a second direction, and a thickness direction of the display panel 200 is defined as a third direction.
Referring to fig. 15, fig. 15 is a schematic structural diagram of a structure for removing part of a ring-shaped conductive partition according to an embodiment of the present application.
In a further embodiment, as shown in fig. 15, the annular conductive partition structure 501 is broken to form the notch 101 in an area other than the junction 102 of the two light-impermeable cell areas 10 connected to each other. For example, the opposite sides of the annular conductive partition structure 501 in the second direction may be removed, leaving only the opposite sides of the annular conductive partition structure 501 in the first direction and part of the common sides at the corners. The annular conductive partition structure 501 with the notch 101 occupies a smaller area; for example, the area corresponding to the notch 101 may be the light-transmitting unit area 20, so that the area of the light-transmitting unit area 20 is further increased; or the area corresponding to the notch 101 may be the opaque unit area 10 and be provided with an organic light emitting layer, so that the sub-pixel area of the opaque unit area 10 is further increased. It will be appreciated that the split conductive partition structure 502 may electrically connect the cathode electrodes 1107 of the sub-pixels within the same opaque unit region 10, and that the notch 101 may alternatively be formed at other positions of the annular conductive partition structure 501 while ensuring that the cathode electrodes 1107 of the sub-pixels of adjacent opaque unit regions 10 are electrically connected.
In one embodiment, three sub-pixels of different colors in the opaque unit area 10 form one pixel unit 16, and one or more pixel units 16 may be disposed in each opaque unit area 10.
Referring to fig. 6 to fig. 9, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a first structure of a plurality of sub-pixels in an opaque unit area provided in the present application; FIG. 7 is a schematic view of a second configuration of a plurality of sub-pixels within an opaque unit area provided herein; FIG. 8 is a schematic view of a third configuration of a plurality of sub-pixels in an opaque unit area provided herein; fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of a fourth structure of a plurality of sub-pixels in an opaque unit area provided in the present application.
In the first structure, as shown in fig. 2 and 6, each light-tight unit region 10 includes only one pixel unit 16, that is, only one set of the first, second, and third sub-pixels 113, 112, and 111, and the first, second, and third sub-pixels 113, 112, and 111 are juxtaposed and spaced apart in the second direction. Wherein, in every two adjacent opaque unit areas 10, the first subpixel 113 of the first opaque unit area 10 and the third subpixel 111 of the second opaque unit area 10 form the connection 102.
In the second structure, as shown in fig. 7, each opaque unit area 10 includes only one pixel unit 16, in each opaque unit area 10, the first sub-pixel 113 and the second sub-pixel 112 are disposed on the same side and are juxtaposed and spaced apart in the first direction, the third sub-pixel 111 is disposed on the other side of the first sub-pixel 113 and the second sub-pixel 112 and is spaced apart from the first sub-pixel 113 and the second sub-pixel 112 in the second direction, and the area of the third sub-pixel 111 is larger than the area of the first sub-pixel 113 and the second sub-pixel 112. In every two adjacent opaque unit areas 10, the second sub-pixel 112 of the first opaque unit area 10 and the third sub-pixel 111 of the second opaque unit area 10 form a junction 102. Wherein, in such a structure, the sum of the areas of the first subpixel 113 and the second subpixel 112 may be equal to the third subpixel 111.
Alternatively, as shown in the third structure of fig. 8, the first sub-pixel 113 and the second sub-pixel 112 are disposed on the same side and are disposed in parallel and spaced apart in the first direction, unlike the second structure, in this structure, the split conductive isolation structure 502 between the third sub-pixel 111 and the first sub-pixel 113 and the second sub-pixel 112 on the same side is disposed obliquely.
In the fourth structure, as shown in fig. 9, each opaque unit area 10 includes a plurality of pixel units 16, that is, includes a plurality of groups of first sub-pixels 113, second sub-pixels 112 and third sub-pixels 111, and the arrangement manner of the first sub-pixels 113, the second sub-pixels 112 and the third sub-pixels 111 in each group of pixel units 16 may be different, and may be arranged according to any of the above manners, which is not limited in this application.

In another cross-sectional configuration along line A-A of fig. 2, as shown in fig. 11, the edge of the conductive portion 51 overlaps with the projection of the edge of the anode electrode 1105 onto the substrate 12, and the conductive portion 51 cooperates with the anode electrode 1105 to form a light shielding layer 1102. In this embodiment, the light shielding layer 1102 in the above embodiment is not required to be provided exclusively, but the light shielding is performed by the overlapping portion of the projection of the conductive portion 51 and the anode conductive layer on the substrate 12. The specific arrangement mode is that the planarization layer 1103 is directly arranged on one side of the driving circuit layer 1101, the anode conductive layer is arranged on one side of the planarization layer 1103 far away from the driving circuit layer 1101, and the planarization layer 1103 is partially covered by the anode conductive layer, so that the edge of the anode conductive layer and the edge of the conductive part 51 are completely overlapped in the projection direction of the third direction, and the effect of shielding light is achieved.

The anode conductive layer in this embodiment may specifically communicate with the driving circuit layer 1101 through the conductive material in the conductive hole 1108.
The pixel defining layer 1104 has a plurality of openings (not shown) that expose the anode electrode 1105; each portion of the pixel defining layer 1104 is separated by the anode electrode 1105 such that the pixel defining layer 1104 breaks the anode electrode 1105, preventing electrical connection between the plurality of anode electrodes 1105 from causing a short circuit.

In order to increase the contact area between the cathode electrode 1107 and the conductive portion 51, the contact position between the cathode conductive layer and the conductive portion 51 may be extended in the third direction to increase the electrical connection effect between the cathode electrode 1107 and the conductive portion 51. It is understood that the organic light emitting unit 1106 may be disposed only in contact with the conductive part 51, or may be disposed in the same shape as the cathode electrode 1107.
The partition portion 52 is disposed on top of the conductive portion 51, and the partition portion 52 covers the top surface of the conductive portion 51 in the third direction, and has a length longer than that of the conductive portion 51 in the second direction and protrudes from the conductive portion 51, thereby improving the partition effect. The network distribution of the conductive parts 51 arranged on the whole surface can reduce the wiring resistance of the cathode conductive layer (cathode electrode 1107) and improve the display uniformity.

Wherein, "interconnect" means that the organic light emitting units 1106 of the two sub-pixels at the junction 102 of the two opaque unit regions 10 connected to each other are connected in one piece, and the cathode electrodes 1107 of the two sub-pixels at the junction 102 of the two opaque unit regions 10 connected to each other are the same transparent conductive layer. For example, two sub-pixels at the connection 102 of two opaque unit areas 10 connected to each other are the third sub-pixel 111 or the first sub-pixel 113.
For example, the first sub-pixel 113, the second sub-pixel 112, and the third sub-pixel 111 of each opaque unit region 10 are sequentially arranged along the row direction of the two-dimensional array formed by the plurality of opaque unit regions 10 and the plurality of opaque unit regions 20, and the three sub-pixels of the same row of opaque unit regions 10 are arranged in the same manner.
