Description
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a show technical field, specifically, relate to pixel structure, accurate metal mask version group and display device of arranging.
Background
The light emitting layer in the OLED (organic light emitting diode) display device structure is usually manufactured by a precise Metal Mask (FMM) evaporation method, that is, R/G/B (red/green/blue) organic light emitting materials are evaporated on the position of the corresponding color sub-pixel on the array substrate by the precise Metal Mask (FMM). At present, as people have higher and higher requirements for the resolution of the display device, the requirements for the pixel arrangement structure and the precise metal mask plate for forming the pixel arrangement structure are also higher and higher.
SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL
The present invention is made based on the discovery and recognition by the inventors of the following facts and problems:
as mentioned above, the resolution of the display device is required more and more, but limited by the FMM evaporation process level and cost, it is difficult to achieve higher resolution by reducing the pixel size and the pixel pitch.
One common method for improving the resolution of the display device is Sub-Pixel Rendering (SPR), which uses Sub-pixels at certain positions shared among different pixels, and uses relatively few Sub-pixels to simulate higher resolution, such as RGBG-type Pixel arrangement structures (as shown in fig. 7) such as diamond arrangement. Taking RGB pixels as an example, referring to fig. 7, two pixels in an RGBG type Pixel arrangement structure such as diamond arrangement and the like are different from those in a true red/green/blue Pixel arrangement in that each Pixel includes 6 Sub-pixels (i.e., each Pixel includes 3 complete Sub-pixels, an R Sub-Pixel, a G Sub-Pixel, and a B Sub-Pixel), and two pixels in the RGBG Pixel structure only include 4 Sub-pixels, and in this Pixel arrangement, except that each G Sub-Pixel one-to-one represents G signals in true RGB, the R Sub-Pixel and the B Sub-Pixel need to adopt Sub-Pixel Rendering, SPR) technology, and R and B signals in 2 true red/green/blue pixels are represented according to a same-line left-right adjacent virtual Pixel sharing algorithm. The inventor finds that the above-mentioned pixel arrangement (RGBG pixel arrangement) can reduce the number of sub-Pixels, reduce the process difficulty, and is favorable for realizing high PPI (pixel density), but reducing the number of sub-Pixels inevitably causes a part of the picture information loss. The inventor finds that only one color sub-pixel can be borrowed, for example, R or B sub-pixels are added on the basis of RGBG, for example, the number of R sub-pixels is increased, and only B pixels are borrowed in the minimum unit group (i.e. the minimum repeating unit), so that the resolution can be increased through the SPR algorithm, the problem of partial picture missing caused by less sub-pixels can be compensated to a certain extent, and the display effect is improved.

More specifically, when the sub-pixel is rectangular, the length direction is the direction corresponding to the long side; when the sub-pixel is square, the length direction of the sub-pixel is the direction corresponding to any one side of the sub-pixel; when the sub-pixel is a parallelogram, if the lengths of the four sides of the sub-pixel are equal, the length direction of the sub-pixel is the direction corresponding to any one side, and if the lengths of the four sides of the sub-pixel are not completely the same, the length direction of the sub-pixel is the direction corresponding to the long side of the sub-pixel; when the sub-pixels are regular hexagons, the length direction of the sub-pixels is perpendicular to the length direction of a connecting line of a group of parallel sides through the center; when the sub-pixel is a pentagon, the length direction is the direction of a connecting line connecting one vertical side with the opposite angle. When the sub-pixel is circular, the length direction of the sub-pixel is the direction corresponding to any diameter of the sub-pixel; when the sub-pixel is an ellipse, the length direction is the direction corresponding to the major axis.

Further, each of the third color sub-pixels is formed by evaporation through one third opening 30 (see fig. 9 (c)). Therefore, the forming process of the precise metal mask group is simple, and the yield is obviously improved; the number of sub-pixels can be reduced, thereby simplifying the formation process of the pixel arrangement structure, and the display device has good display effect when the formed pixel arrangement structure is used for the display device.
