Description
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of electronic equipment, in particular to a display panel, a display screen and electronic equipment.
Background
At present, electronic equipment such as intelligent wrist-watch, intelligent bracelet, cell-phone have the ambient light detection function usually, and wherein one of the main applications of ambient light detection function is through detecting ambient light brightness, realizes the automatically regulated to screen brightness, lets the user have fine experience. The ambient light detection function is also used in light intensity detection, touch control, and other scenarios.
While ambient light detection relies primarily on placing a light sensor (e.g., an ambient light sensor, ALS) below the display panel of the electronic device. Generally, the ALS is placed below the display panel, and light in the environment can be received by the ALS through a View Area (VA) of a cover plate on the display panel and a display area (active area, AA) of the display panel, thereby performing ambient light detection.
However, the ALS needs to be disposed below the display panel, which results in a high thickness of the module.
SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL
The embodiment of the application provides a display panel, a display screen and electronic equipment, can reduce the module thickness of display screen, simplify the structural industrial design of product.
In a first aspect, a display panel is provided. The display panel includes: a display area AA and a non-display area NA located around the display area; the display panel can be circular, and can also be other specially-shaped display panels such as a polygon and an ellipse; the non-display area NA is provided with a peripheral circuit, and the display area AA is provided with pixel units distributed in an array manner; wherein, on the non-display area NA, a light sensor is arranged between the display area AA and the peripheral circuit; the light sensor includes a plurality of first light sensing devices extending along a boundary between the display area and the peripheral circuit. In this scheme, owing to integrated on display panel with light sensor, consequently when this display panel is assembled for the display screen, can reduce the module thickness of display screen, and then reduce the product thickness of the electronic equipment who uses this display screen. In addition, the light can directly reach the optical sensor on the display panel after passing through the cover plate of the display screen, and does not reach the optical sensor after passing through the display panel, so the requirement on the sensitivity of the optical sensor is reduced, and because a plurality of photosensitive devices of the optical sensor are arranged on the display panel in a manner of extending and distributing along the boundary line between the display area AA and the peripheral circuit, no special requirement is made on the industrial design of the cover plate for protecting the display panel and the shading ink layer, for example, the cover plate for protecting the display panel is usually arranged on the display panel, and the shading ink layer for shading the non-display area of the display panel is usually arranged between the display panel and the cover plate for the sake of beautiful appearance, and the optical sensor cannot be arranged in the display area in order to reduce the influence of the optical sensor on the aperture ratio of the display panel, however, if the optical sensor is arranged in the non-display area, the shape of the shading ink layer is generally required to be correspondingly coupled and designed so as to remove the shading ink layer of the optical sensor or design the shading ink layer as an ink material for filtering specified light wave bands, so that the requirement of coupling alignment precision of the shading ink layer and the optical sensor is improved, and the appearance industrial design of a product is influenced. However, there is a gap between the shading ink layer and the display area of the display panel, so that when the cover plate is disposed, only a plurality of photosensitive devices extending and distributed along the boundary between the display area AA and the peripheral circuit need to be exposed from the gap, and a special shape for disposing the shading ink layer is not needed.
In a possible implementation manner, a cover plate is arranged on the display panel, wherein a shading ink layer is arranged between the cover plate and the display panel; the projection of the shading ink layer on the display panel is positioned in the non-display area; the first photosensitive devices are distributed between the projection area and the display area of the shading ink layer on the display panel. Like this, because a plurality of first photosensitive devices distribute in visual zone VA, visual zone VA is not sheltered from by the shading printing ink layer, therefore ambient light can shine a plurality of first photosensitive devices through the apron to realize the detection of ambient light.
In one possible implementation manner, a cover plate is arranged on the display panel, wherein a filtering ink layer is arranged between the cover plate and the display panel; the filtering ink layer covers the area between the display area and the peripheral circuit, and absorbs light rays in an ultraviolet light wave band. Because the filtering ink layer absorbs the light in the ultraviolet light band, the light in the ultraviolet light band in the ambient light will be absorbed, and the light penetrating through the filtering ink layer may include the light in the visible light band (for example, the wavelength range of 400nm to 700 nm) and the light in other light bands (for example, the infrared light band), so that the detection of the light in the visible light band and the light in other light bands in the ambient light can be realized. The filtering ink layer can be arranged for a circle along the area between the display area AA and the peripheral circuit, so that the influence of the filtering ink layer on the appearance industrial design of a product can be reduced as much as possible, coupling alignment with a plurality of first photosensitive devices is not required to be considered, and the assembly difficulty is reduced.
In a possible implementation manner, a cover plate is disposed on the display panel, wherein a light-shielding ink layer is included between the cover plate and the display panel; the projection of the shading ink layer on the display panel is positioned in the non-display area; the first photosensitive devices are distributed in a projection area of the shading ink layer on the display panel, wherein the shading ink layer transmits light rays of ultraviolet light wave bands. Because the light filtering ink layer transmits the light of the ultraviolet light wave band, the detection of the light of the ultraviolet light wave band in the environment light can be realized.
In a possible implementation manner, the plurality of first photosensitive devices are distributed on one side of the shading ink layer, which is close to the display area, in the projection area on the display panel.
In a possible implementation manner, the optical sensor further includes a plurality of second light sensing devices, a cover plate is disposed on the display panel, and a light-shielding ink layer is disposed between the cover plate and the display panel; the projection of the shading ink layer on the display panel is positioned in the non-display area; the plurality of second photosensitive devices are distributed in the projection area of the shading ink layer on the display panel. When the filtering ink layer can transmit light rays of an ultraviolet light waveband, the plurality of second photosensitive devices can detect the light rays of the ultraviolet light waveband in the environment light. In addition, the plurality of second photo sensors may detect the light intensity of the dark environment under the light-shielding ink layer to provide a comparison reference for the detection results of the first photo sensors distributed along the boundary line between the display area AA and the peripheral circuit.
In one possible implementation manner, the plurality of second photosensitive devices are distributed along the boundary of the non-display area far away from the display area in a strip-shaped extending manner.
In one possible implementation, the plurality of first photosensitive devices are connected in parallel, and the plurality of first photosensitive devices form at least one row in the direction of the extending distribution.
In one possible implementation, the plurality of second photosensitive devices are connected in parallel, and the plurality of second photosensitive devices form at least one row in the direction of the extending distribution.
In a second aspect, a display screen is provided, which includes the display panel of the first aspect, and a cover plate disposed on the display panel.
In a third aspect, an electronic device is provided, comprising the display screen of the second aspect, and a PCB connected to the display screen.
For technical effects brought by any possible implementation manner of the second aspect and the third aspect, reference may be made to technical effects brought by different implementation manners of the first aspect, and details are not described here.

Referring to fig. 2, taking the display of a circular smart watch as an example, the display 191 is typically disposed between the outer frame 21 and the bottom cover (not shown in fig. 2) of the watch. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the display panel includes a display panel 31, and the display panel 31 includes a display area (AA) and a non-display area NA (also referred to as a frame) located around the display area AA. Usually, a cover plate is further disposed in the light emitting direction of the display panel 31, wherein a light shielding ink layer is included between the cover plate and the display panel 31, and a projection of the light shielding ink layer on the display panel 31 is located in the non-display area NA; thus, when viewed from the outside of the cover plate, the light-shielding ink layer shields the non-display area, the cover plate includes a Visible Area (VA) and an ink area (i.e., an area where the light-shielding ink layer corresponds to the cover plate) where the display area AA can be seen, and since the cover plate and the display panel have alignment accuracy and the visible area VA needs to expose the whole display area AA, the visible area VA is usually larger than the display area AA, i.e., a gap exists between the ink area and the display area AA, such as the visible area VA and the display area AA shown in fig. 3. The display area AA is provided with a pixel array composed of a plurality of pixel units distributed in an array. In addition, the display area AA includes driving lines arranged crosswise, the driving lines including SCAN lines SCAN and DATA lines DATA, wherein pixel units are arranged at positions where the SCAN lines SCAN and the DATA lines DATA cross, and one pixel unit is connected to one DATA line DATA and at least one SCAN line SCAN. The display screen further includes a Chip On Film (COF), which is a flexible circuit film with a chip, referred to as a Chip On Film (COF), 32 and a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) 33.
One driving circuit of any pixel unit in the pixel array is connected with one fan-out circuit of the display panel 31; the display panel 31 is provided with a connection terminal 311, the connection terminal 311 includes terminals (pins) of a plurality of fan-out lines of the display panel 31, wherein the COF32 and the FPC33 are provided on the back surface of the display panel 31, and the connection terminal 311 of the display panel 31 is bent to the back surface of the display panel 31 and correspondingly connected to the connection terminal 321 of the COF 32. The terminals of the connection terminals 311 and the terminals of the connection terminals 321 may be bonded one by using a FOF (film to film) process, and the connection terminals 311 and the connection terminals 321 are sequentially bonded together in a one-to-one manner, so that the anisotropic conductive film bonding (bonding) connection between the connection terminals 311 of the display panel 31 and the connection terminals 321 of the COF32 is realized.
In addition, the COF32 is provided with a display driving circuit 322, and the display driving circuit 322 may be a Display Driver Integrated Circuit (DDIC). In this case, the terminals in the connection 321 of the COF32 are electrically connected to the pins of the DDIC through the traces on the COF 32. The connection terminal 323 of the COF32 is connected to the connection terminal 331bonding of the FPC33, the terminal of the connection terminal 323 of the COF32 is electrically connected to the pin of the DDIC, the other connection terminal 332 of the FPC33 is connected to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) of the electronic device through a connector, and the terminal of the connection terminal 331 of the FPC33 is connected to the terminal of the other connection terminal 332 through a wire on the FPC 33. An Application Processor (AP) (e.g., a CPU), a power management chip (power IC), and the like are mounted on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) (or a driver board, a driver board). The printed circuit board, the COF32 and the FPC32 are all arranged between the outer frame 21 of the watch on the back of the display panel and the bottom cover. In some examples, the display driving circuit 322 may also be integrated on the frame (NA area) of the display panel, which is not favorable to reduce the frame width of the display panel.
In this way, the AP provides display data for the DDIC and the display panel 31 to present actual image information; the power IC supplies an operating voltage to the DDIC and the display panel 31. The FPC33 provides a signal transmission connection path between the PCB and the DDIC. The DDIC is responsible for receiving signals transmitted from the PCB and controlling the signals to be transmitted to the display panel 31 according to a specific timing. For example, after the display data output by the AP passes through the DDIC, the display data is converted into a scan signal and a data voltage Vdata, and the scan signal and the data voltage Vdata are transmitted to the pixel units coupled to the driving lines to drive the pixel units to emit light.
At present, electronic devices such as the above-mentioned smart watch, smart bracelet, cell-phone etc. usually have an ambient light detection function, and wherein one of the main applications of ambient light detection function is through detecting ambient light brightness, realizes the automatically regulated to screen brightness, lets the user have fine experience. The ambient light detection function is also used in light intensity detection, touch control, and other scenarios. Whereas ambient light detection mainly relies on placing an Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) below the display panel of the electronic device. As shown in fig. 5, the display screen includes a display panel and a cover plate, an ink area is disposed below the display panel, and a projection position of the ink area on the display panel just covers the driving circuit on the display panel. Normally, the ALS is placed below the display panel, and light in the environment can reach a photosensitive area of the ALS through a Visible Area (VA) of a cover plate on the display panel and a display area (AA, an operable area or a display area) of the display panel to be received by the ALS, so as to perform ambient light detection, but in this structure, the ALS needs to be disposed below the display panel, so that the thickness of the module is high; in addition, since the blocking of the display panel greatly reduces the light transmittance, a more sensitive light sensor is required.
To solve the above problem, referring to fig. 6 and 7 (a cross-sectional view at AA' in fig. 6), a display panel is provided, wherein the display panel 41 includes a display area AA and a non-display area NA (or a bezel) in which a light sensor is integrated. The non-display area NA is located around the display area AA (in fig. 6, a circular display panel is taken as an example, and other irregular display panels such as a polygon and an ellipse may be used). A peripheral circuit 411 (which may include the fan-out lines and the display driving circuit, and of course, in some narrow frame products, the display driving circuit may be disposed on the COF) is disposed in the non-display area NA, and pixel units are disposed in an array in the display area AA. A photosensor 412 is provided between the display area AA and the peripheral circuit in the non-display area NA; the photo sensor 412 includes a plurality of photo sensing devices 412-n extending along a boundary between the display area AA and the peripheral circuit 411. It should be noted that the photo sensors 412-n are connected to the PCB through the fan-out lines of the non-display area NA (a specific fan-out line may be connected through the flexible substrate between the display panel 41 and the PCB), wherein the PCB is provided with a chip or a circuit for processing signals of the photo sensors or providing signals to the photo sensors. Wherein, in this scheme, owing to integrated on display panel 41 with light sensor 412, when this display panel 41 was assembled as the display screen, can reduce the module thickness of display screen, and then reduce the product thickness of the electronic equipment who uses this display screen. In addition, the light can directly reach the optical sensor 412 on the display panel 41 after passing through the cover plate, and does not reach the optical sensor 412 after passing through the display panel 41, so the requirement on the sensitivity of the optical sensor 412 is reduced, and because the plurality of photosensitive devices 412-n of the optical sensor 412 are arranged on the display panel 41 in a manner of extending and distributing along the boundary line between the display area AA and the peripheral circuit 411, there is no special requirement on the industrial design of the cover plate 42 for protecting the display panel 41 and the shading ink layer 43, for example, the cover plate 42 for protecting the display panel is usually arranged on the display panel 41, and the shading ink layer 43 for shading the non-display area NA of the display panel 41 is usually arranged between the display panel 41 and the cover plate 42 for the sake of aesthetic appearance, and in order to reduce the influence of the optical sensor 412 on the aperture ratio of the display panel 41, the optical sensor 412 cannot be arranged on the display area AA in general, however, if the light sensor 412 is disposed in the non-display area NA, the shape of the light-shielding ink layer 43 generally needs to be correspondingly coupled and designed, so as to remove or design the light-shielding ink layer 43 of the light sensor 412 as an ink material for filtering a specified light wave band, which increases the requirement of coupling and aligning the light-shielding ink layer 43 and the light sensor 412, and affects the industrial design of the appearance of the product. However, as described above, there is a gap between the light-shielding ink layer 43 and the display area AA of the display panel 41. Thus, when the cover plate 42 is disposed, it is only necessary to leak the plurality of photosensitive devices 412-n extending along the boundary between the display area AA and the peripheral circuit 411 from the gap, and there is no need to provide a special shape of the light-shielding ink layer 43, so that the industrial design of the product is simple and the design of the cover plate 42 and the light-shielding ink layer 43 can be directly compatible with the existing design.
In an embodiment, a cover plate 42 is further disposed on the display panel 41, and a light-shielding ink layer 43 is disposed between the cover plate 42 and the display panel 41, as shown in fig. 6 and fig. 7, wherein the display panel 41 includes a display area AA and a non-display area NA, and the non-display area NA is provided with a peripheral circuit 411 and a light sensor 412 (including a plurality of photo sensors 412-n). The projection of the light-shielding ink layer 43 on the display panel 41 is located in the non-display area NA. On the cover plate 42, the region of the light-shielding ink layer 43 outside the projection region of the cover plate 42 is a visible region VA. The plurality of photo sensors 412-n are distributed between the projection area of the black-out ink layer 43 on the display panel 41 and the display area AA. Thus, because the plurality of photosensitive devices 412-n are distributed in the visible area VA, and the visible area VA is not shielded by the shading ink layer 43, the ambient light can irradiate the plurality of photosensitive devices 412-n through the cover plate 42, thereby realizing the detection of the ambient light.
Further, as shown in fig. 8, a cover plate 42 is disposed on the display panel 41, wherein a filtering ink layer 44 is further included between the cover plate 42 and the display panel 41, the filtering ink layer 44 absorbs light in an ultraviolet band, and the filtering ink layer 44 covers an area between the display area AA and the peripheral circuit 411, that is, an area where the plurality of photo sensors 412-n are located. Since the filtering ink layer 44 absorbs the light in the ultraviolet light band, the light in the ultraviolet light band in the ambient light will be absorbed, and the light passing through the filtering ink layer 44 may include the light in the visible light band (for example, the wavelength range of 400nm to 700 nm) and the light in other light bands (for example, the infrared light band), so that the detection of the light in the visible light band and the light in other light bands in the ambient light can be realized. The filtering ink layer 44 may be disposed around the area between the display area AA and the peripheral circuit 411, so as to reduce the influence of the filtering ink layer 44 on the industrial design of the product appearance as much as possible, and reduce the assembly difficulty without considering the coupling alignment with the multiple photo sensors 412-n.
In another example, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, where fig. 10 is a cross-sectional view at AA' in fig. 9. A cover plate 42 is disposed on the display panel 41, wherein a light-shielding ink layer 43 is disposed between the cover plate 42 and the display panel 41, and a projection of the light-shielding ink layer 43 on the display panel 41 is located in the non-display area NA; the plurality of photo sensors 412-n of the photo sensor 412 are distributed in a projection area of the light shielding ink layer 43 on the display panel 41, wherein the light shielding ink layer 43 transmits light in an ultraviolet band. Because the light filtering ink layer transmits the light of the ultraviolet light wave band, the detection of the light of the ultraviolet light wave band in the environment light can be realized. Of course, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the plurality of photo sensors 412-n may be distributed on a side of the light-shielding ink layer 43 near the display area AA in the projection area of the display panel 41. As shown in fig. 11, the display panel 41 may be distributed with a photo sensor 412-n for detecting visible light in the ambient light and light in other light bands and a photo sensor 412-n for detecting light in ultraviolet light bands.
Further, as shown in fig. 12 and 13, wherein fig. 13 is a sectional view at AA' in fig. 12. The plurality of photo sensors 412-n may also be distributed on a side of the projection area of the black-out ink layer 43 on the display panel 41 away from the display area AA.
To detect the light intensity of the dark environment under the light-shielding ink layer 43, a comparison reference is provided for the detection results of the photo sensors 412-n extending along the boundary between the display area AA and the peripheral circuit 411. Referring to fig. 14 and 15, in which the optical sensor 412 further includes a plurality of photo sensing devices 412-i, a cover plate 42 is disposed on the display panel 41, wherein a light-shielding ink layer 43 is included between the cover plate 42 and the display panel 41, and a projection of the light-shielding ink layer 43 on the display panel 41 is located in the non-display area NA; the plurality of photo sensors 412-i are distributed on the projection area of the black-out ink layer 43 on the display panel 41. In addition, the plurality of photo-sensing devices 412-i shown in fig. 14 and 15 are extended in a band shape in the non-display area NA away from the boundary of the display area AA. Of course, the plurality of photo sensors 412-i are not limited to the illustrated structure, and may be more or less, or may be close to the display area AA, and any arrangement of the plurality of photo sensors 412-i at any position of the non-display area NA is within the scope of the present application. Since the plurality of photo sensors 412-i are shielded by the black ink layer 43, they cannot be observed from the cover plate 42, and thus do not affect the industrial design of the product. The plurality of photo sensors 412-i extend along the non-display area NA away from the display area AA.
Fig. 16 and 17 provide an arrangement of a plurality of photosensitive devices of the embodiment of the present application, which are connected in parallel, and form at least one row in the direction of the extending distribution. Fig. 16 shows that the plurality of photosensitive devices in the embodiment of the present application may be arranged in one row in the direction of the extended distribution, and fig. 17 shows that the plurality of photosensitive devices in the embodiment of the present application may be arranged in two rows in the direction of the extended distribution. The parallel connection mode can directly superpose the photocurrents detected by the photosensitive devices, so that the precision of light intensity detection is improved, and the number of the photosensitive devices can be designed according to the detection precision of actual setting requirements without limitation. In fig. 16 and 17, a two-port device is taken as an example of a photo sensor, where an input terminal of the photo sensor is connected to the fan-out line 1, and an output terminal of the photo sensor is connected to the fan-out line 2.
The photosensitive device may be any one of photosensitive devices such as a photoresistor and a photodiode.
Wherein, the photosensitive device can be a photoresistor, as shown in the structural schematic diagram of the photoresistor shown in fig. 18, the photoresistor comprises a photoconductor and two electrodes arranged at two ends of the photoconductor, the two electrodes have no polarity difference, namely, the electrodes at the left side and the right side of the photoresistor are positively and reversely connected, and can normally work, so that the fan-out line 1 and the fan-out line 2 are respectively connected with the two electrodes of the photoresistor. The photoresistor, also called a light pipe, is a pure resistive element whose working principle is based on the photoconductive effect, and when there is no light, the resistance through the photoconductor is large and the reverse current is small, called dark current. When light is irradiated, photons carrying energy enter the photoconductor, electrons in the valence band absorb the energy of the photons and then jump to the conduction band to become free electrons, and holes are generated at the same time, and the occurrence of electron-hole pairs reduces the resistivity. The stronger the illumination, the more photo-generated electron-hole pairs, the lower the resistance. When a voltage is applied across the photoresistor, the current through the photoresistor increases as the illumination increases. The incident light disappears, the electron-hole pairs are gradually recombined, the resistance is gradually restored to the original value, and the current is gradually reduced. FIG. 19 and FIG. 20 provide two types of photo-sensitive resistors for detecting the output voltage U after illumination0A change in (c). In the two figuresEiIs an initial voltage, RaIs a photoresistor, RbCommon resistance, U0Representing the voltage level of the detected electrical signal, wherein FIG. 19 provides the illumination intensity versus voltage level U0Proportional circuit connection, i.e. the resistance R of the photoresistoraThe smaller, the greater the current I in the circuit, the voltage U0The larger the value; illumination intensity and voltage value U provided in FIG. 200In a circuit connection mode in which the ratio of resistance R of the photoresistor is inversely proportional, i.e. the stronger the illumination, the higher the resistance RaThe smaller, the greater the current I in the circuit, the voltage U0The smaller the value.
The photosensitive device may be a photodiode, which is also called a photodiode, and is shown in fig. 21 as a schematic diagram of the structure of the photodiode. The core component of the photosensitive diode is a PN junction, when no light irradiates, the reverse resistance of the photosensitive diode is large, the reverse current is small, and the photosensitive diode is in a cut-off state. The reverse current is also called dark current. When the light is irradiated, photons are bombarded near the PN junction to absorb the energy of the photons to generate electron-hole pairs, so that the minority carrier concentration of the P region and the N region is greatly increased, therefore, under the action of an external reverse bias voltage and an internal electric field, the minority carrier transition blocking layer of the P region enters the N region, the minority carrier transition blocking layer of the N region enters the P region, and the reverse current passing through the PN junction is greatly increased, so that the photocurrent is formed.

In the AMOLED display panel, a substrate 71, a circuit film layer 72, an anode layer 73, a pixel defining layer 74, a light emitting layer 75, a cathode layer 76, an opposite substrate 77, and the like are mainly included. The substrate 71 and the opposite substrate 72 may be formed of a transparent material, and may be a rigid substrate such as glass, or may be a flexible substrate such as Polyimide (PI) or Polycarbonate (PC), which is not limited herein. Among them, the circuit film layer 72, the anode layer 73, the pixel defining layer 74, the light emitting layer 75, and the cathode layer 76 may be collectively referred to as a display function film layer. It should be noted that the structures of the display function film layers in different types of AMOLED display panels may be different, and fig. 23 is only an example of an AMOLED display panel with one OLED spontaneous color light, for example, in some AMOLED display panels, if the light emitted by the light emitting layer is white light, a color filter layer is generally further disposed above the light emitting layer, which is not described herein again.
In the AMOLED display panel, the circuit film layer 72 is also mainly provided with TFTs and various traces. For example, as shown in fig. 23, the circuit film layer 72 may include a semiconductor layer 721, a first insulating layer 722, a gate electrode 723, a second insulating layer 724, a source electrode 725, and a drain electrode 726; the material of the semiconductor layer 721 may be amorphous silicon/polysilicon/oxide. The electrode contact region and the channel region of the TFT may be formed by doping the semiconductor layer 721 with different materials and different concentrations, wherein the electrode contact region is typically a heavily P-doped region (P +), and the channel region is typically a lightly P-doped region (P-). The source electrode 725 and the drain electrode 726 of the TFT are electrically connected to the electrode contact regions, respectively.
The LCD panel and the AMOLED display panel are both provided with the circuit film layers with the TFTs, and just based on the fact that the display panel is provided with the semiconductor layers and the different doping regions located in the semiconductor layers, the LCD panel and the AMOLED display panel can be formed by adopting a mask (mask) process of the existing display panel as far as possible when the optical sensor is integrated in the display panel, and therefore the number of the increased mask process is reduced.
As shown in fig. 22 and 23, the input electrode and the output electrode of the photosensitive device may be formed by a one-time mask process using a first metal layer on the same layer as the source electrode 625 and the drain electrode 626 (the source electrode 725 and the drain electrode 726); when the photosensitive device includes a gate, the gate may be formed by a mask process using a second metal layer on the same layer as the gate electrode 623 (or the gate electrode 723); the channel of the photosensitive device may be formed using a material layer on the same layer as the semiconductor layer 621 (or the semiconductor layer 721), and when an electrode contact region is included under the input electrode and the output electrode, the semiconductor layer under the input electrode and the output electrode may be doped using a process for forming an electrode contact region of the source electrode 625 and the drain electrode 626 (the source electrode 725 and the drain electrode 726). Specifically, referring to fig. 24, a light sensing device is provided, which includes a channel, an input electrode and an output electrode disposed at two ends of the channel; wherein the input electrode may be connected to Vcc through a fan-out line, and the output electrode may be connected to Vout through a fan-out line. Referring to fig. 25, the operating principle of the photosensitive device (also referred to as a photodiode) provided by the present application is as follows: when there is no illumination, the reverse current of the channel region is small (typically less than 0.1 microampere), referred to as dark current. When light is irradiated, photons carrying energy enter a channel region, and then the energy is transferred to bound electrons on covalent bonds, so that part of electrons break free from the covalent bonds, and electron-hole pairs are generated and called photogenerated carriers. They undergo a drift motion under the action of a reverse voltage, so that the reverse current becomes significantly larger, and the greater the intensity of light, the greater the reverse current. In addition, to further adjust the magnitude of the dark current, one or more gates may be disposed over the channel, typically with an insulating layer disposed between the gate and the channel, and the gate may be connected to Vg through a fan-out line to provide a voltage to the gate. Thus, when the photosensitive device operates, mainly electron-hole pairs are formed in a region (depletion region) where the channel region is not shielded by the gate, the absorbed light intensity is different, the concentration of the formed electron-hole pairs is also different, and an equivalent circuit diagram is shown in fig. 26. The photosensitive device provided by the embodiment of the application has the characteristic of high sensitivity because the depletion region has larger resistance (equivalent resistance) and the dark current (leakage current) is small especially when light is not irradiated. And the magnitude of the dark current can be further adjusted by adjusting the voltage of the gate and the magnitude of the cross voltage across the input electrode and the output electrode. In addition, as shown in fig. 27, when the photo sensing devices are three-port devices including an input electrode, an output electrode, and a gate, the input electrodes of the photo sensing devices (1-n) are connected to Vcc through the same fan-out line, the output electrodes of the photo sensing devices (1-n) are connected to Vout through the same fan-out line, and the gates of the photo sensing devices (1-n) are connected to Vg through the same fan-out line. In addition, as shown in fig. 24, the width of the plurality of photosensitive devices arranged in a single row is about 30um, which substantially meets the error requirement of the gap design of the boundary between the viewing area VA and the display area AA, and does not affect the industrial appearance design of the product.
