- OLED Organic Light-Emitting Diode
- LCD Liquid Crystal Display
- OLED display technology does not require a backlight and has self-luminous characteristics.
- the OLED uses a thinner organic material film layer and a glass substrate, and when a current passes, the organic material emits light. Therefore, the OLED display can significantly save power, can be made lighter and thinner, can withstand a wider range of temperature changes than the LCD display, and has a larger viewing angle.
- OLED display is expected to become the next-generation flat panel display technology after LCD, and it is one of the most popular technologies in flat panel display technology.
- OLED colorization technology that is now mature and has been successfully mass-produced is mainly OLED evaporation technology, which uses conventional RGB Stripe (RGB strip) arrangement for evaporation.
- RGB stripe RGB strip

- An illuminating component which forms an organic luminescent component by a vapor deposition film forming technique through a high-precision metal mask (FMM) on a corresponding pixel position on an array substrate, the high-definition metal mask
- FMM high-precision metal mask
- the stencil is often referred to simply as an evaporation mask.
- the OLED display technology that produces high PPI (Pixel Per Inch, the number of pixels per inch) focuses on fine and mechanically stable FMMs and pixel layout.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a pixel arrangement of an OLED display screen in the prior art.
- the industry usually refers to this kind of pixel structure as Real RGB.
- the OLED display screen adopts a pixel juxtaposition manner, and each pixel unit Pixel includes an R sub-pixel region 101, a G sub-pixel region 103, and a B sub-pixel region 105, wherein the R sub-pixel region 101 includes R.

- the occlusion area between them is called a bridge. Since the sub-pixels of the same color are arranged in the upper and lower alignments in the arrangement of FIG. 1, the vapor deposition openings 108 of the FMM must also be aligned, which makes the connection bridge between the two adjacent vapor deposition openings 108 in the longitudinal direction. (bridge) has the risk of disconnection.
- the vapor deposition opening 108 of the FMM needs to correspond to a predetermined pixel position. According to the conventional pixel arrangement method, the alignment space of the FMM and the sub-pixel region is reduced, which may cause defects of color shortage or color mixture.

- Adjacent two sides of the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel are connected by one or more arcs and/or one or more straight lines.
- the pixel structure driving method is divided into a plurality of target pixel unit groups according to a Real RGB arrangement manner, and the size of the target pixel unit group in the row direction is equivalent to a theoretical pixel unit group.
- the size in the row direction, and the size of the target pixel unit group in the column direction corresponds to the size of the theoretical pixel unit group in the column direction.
- the present invention divides a pixel structure into a plurality of target pixel unit groups, each target pixel unit group is equivalent to one theoretical pixel unit group, and determines a target according to a color component of each sub-pixel in the theoretical pixel unit group.

- the technical focus of the OLED display panel for producing a high PPI is the FMM with fine and mechanical stability and the arrangement of pixels.
- FMM is a key component in vapor-deposited pixels, and problems such as warpage and breakage should be minimized to avoid defects such as vaporization of the vapor deposition film layer and offset.
- the arrangement of pixels and sub-pixels is the main reason for determining whether the FMM is prone to warpage and breakage. That is, the arrangement of pixels and sub-pixels largely determines the mechanical properties of the FMM, and the mechanical properties of the FMM largely determine the quality of the evaporation.
