On the basis of any of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the operable region 103 is arranged with a plurality of first pixel units 113, a plurality of signal lines 116 and a plurality of scan lines 115, so that the operable region 103 and the transition region 102 form a display region. In this way, a larger display area can be formed on the display panel 110, and the uniformity of the display quality can be ensured.

In some embodiments, each of the signal lines 116 has a plurality of first pixel units 113 arranged in sequence in a longitudinal direction thereof. Therefore, a plurality of uniform pixel points are conveniently formed on the signal line 116, and the brightness control is carried out through the signal line 116, which is beneficial to improving the display quality.

In addition to any of the above embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, in some embodiments, a plurality of scan lines 115 are arranged in the transition region 102 and are disconnected in the first light-transmitting region 101. Thus, the plurality of scanning surfaces are not required to be arranged around the first light-transmitting area 101, and can be directly disconnected without winding, so that the situation that the surrounding area of the first light-transmitting area 101 is too dense to improve the light transmittance of the display panel 110 due to the surrounding wiring can be avoided.

Optionally, the plurality of first pixel units 113 and the plurality of second pixel units 114 are respectively and uniformly arranged around the first light-transmitting region 101.

On the basis of any of the above embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, in some embodiments, the plurality of second pixel units 114 are disposed along the first direction and divide the plurality of first pixel units 113 into two pixel regions 104. Therefore, uniform pixel points can be formed around the first light-transmitting area 101, and the second pixel unit 114 is arranged between the two pixel areas 104, so that the pixel points formed by the second pixel unit 114 can be conveniently lightened by using the two pixel areas 104, and a good display effect can be formed around the first light-transmitting area 101.

In addition, in some embodiments, the plurality of scan lines 115 are disposed along the second direction, and are disconnected from the first light-transmitting region 101; the second direction intersects the first direction. Therefore, the same scanning line 115 is used to connect the first pixel unit 113 and the second pixel unit 114 in the same column, so as to ensure the uniformity of the scanning signal input. While also facilitating the routing of the signal lines 116 in the first direction.

Alternatively, in other embodiments, the second direction may be understood as a vertical direction and the first direction may be understood as a lateral direction.

On the basis of any of the above two pixel regions, as shown in fig. 5, in some embodiments, the number of the second pixel units 114 closer to the first light-transmitting region 101 is larger, so that the area of the plurality of second pixel units 114 becomes gradually larger from the outer edge of the transition region 102 to the first light-transmitting region 101. Thus, the transmittance of the first light-transmitting region 101 is advantageously ensured. Meanwhile, the closer the number of the second pixels of the first light-transmitting region 101 is, the greater the number is, so that the pixel region 104 is gradually disposed to surround the second pixel unit 114, so as to illuminate the pixel point formed for the second pixel unit 114.

In this way, since the plurality of second pixel units 114 are disposed along the first direction and divide the plurality of first pixel units 113 into two pixel regions 104, the two pixel regions 104 are also arranged along the first direction in the transition region 102; the plurality of first pixel units 113 are uniformly arranged in the pixel region 104, so that the first pixel units 113 extend along the arrangement direction of the first direction, and form a concave portion to avoid the first light-transmitting area, which is beneficial to more uniform arrangement of the plurality of signal lines 116, so that the brightness of the pixel region 104 is also more uniform, which is beneficial to improving the problem of poor display caused by the density of metal wiring, and improving the display quality of the display panel 110 of the present disclosure.

Further, the first light-transmitting area 101 is matched with the scanning lines 115 extending and arranged along the second direction, so that relatively uniform metal wiring is formed around the first light-transmitting area, and the problem of poor display quality caused by uneven display is solved.

As shown in fig. 5, in some embodiments, the two pixel regions 104 are disposed axisymmetrically, and the plurality of signal lines 116 are uniformly spaced in the two pixel regions 104. In this way, two pixel regions 104 are convenient to form uniform light sources on two sides of the plurality of second pixel units 114, so that the brightness around the first light-transmitting region 101 is relatively uniform, and the uniformity of the display quality of the display panel 110 is improved.

In addition, in some embodiments, the plurality of first pixel units on the same signal line are uniformly arranged in the first direction. Therefore, uniform pixel points can be formed on the signal lines, and the display quality is further improved.

In addition to any of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the light transmittance of the transition region is less than the light transmittance of the first light-transmitting region. So, can guarantee that the light that the optical induction module received acquires from first printing opacity district as far as possible, reduce the light that acquires from the transition district, improve light and acquire the quality.

In some embodiments, the first light-transmitting area is a light-transmitting hole or a light-transmitting body. Thus, the selection can be made more practically necessary. The first light-transmitting area can be obtained by opening a hole on the display panel, or the first light-transmitting area can be formed on the display panel by using a light-transmitting material.

In some embodiments, the first light-transmissive region is a light-transmissive body, and the first light-transmissive region is provided with a pixel circuit (not shown) having a light-transmissive function. Therefore, the pixel circuit is formed on the first light-transmitting area, so that when the optical sensing module does not work, the first light-transmitting area can be utilized for image display, and the display panel can form a larger display area.

Optionally, the pixel circuit includes: the backlight module comprises a backlight plate structure, a bottom polaroid, a substrate base plate, an LCD array structure and a transparent electrode layer. The backlight plate structure is one of a transparent direct luminous source structure, a semitransparent direct luminous structure and a lateral light guide structure; the transparent electrode is indium tin oxide or zinc oxide transparent conductive glass.
