detailed description

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the application, and not used to limit the application.

With the rapid development of technology, users have higher and higher requirements for screen-to-body ratio. However, in the related art, the optical device is provided on the display panel, and the area corresponding to the optical device cannot display the picture, which hinders the development of the display panel to a full screen. Based on this, the present application proposes a display panel and a display device to solve the above technical problems.

The embodiment of the present application proposes a display panel 100. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the display panel 100 includes a plurality of first pixel groups 110, a plurality of second pixel groups 120 and at least one first driving circuit 130. The plurality of first pixel groups 110 are located in the first display area 141 of the display panel 100, and the plurality of second pixel groups 120 are located in the second display area 142 of the display panel 100.

Referring to FIGS. 3, 4, and 7, each first pixel group 110 may include a plurality of first pixels 111, and each second pixel group 120 may include a plurality of second pixels 121. The pixel density is less than the pixel density of the second display area 142. In order to intuitively reflect that the arrangement density of the first pixels 111 in the first display area 141 is less than the arrangement density of the second pixels 121 in the second display area 142, the unset in the first display area 141 in FIG. 3 and FIG. A dotted frame is drawn in the area of the first pixel 111, and the dotted frame does not actually exist. The arrangement density of the first pixels 111 in the first display area 141 is set to be lower than the arrangement density of the second pixels 121 in the second display area 142, and the light transmittance of the first display area 141 will be higher, which is very important for optical devices. The use performance of the display panel 100 is less affected, so the optical device can be arranged in the first display area 141 with a lower pixel density, so as to realize the installation of the optical device under the screen, and promote the development of the display panel 100 to a full screen. The arrangement density of the first pixels 111 in the first display area 141 is smaller than the arrangement density of the second pixels 121 in the second display area 142. The ratio of the area of is smaller than the ratio of the number of second pixels 121 in the second display area 142 to the area of the second display area 142.

The first display area 141 and the second display area 142 may be divided based on the size of the optical device. For example, the first display area 141 may satisfy: the orthographic projection of the optical device on the display panel 100 is located in the first display area 141; and the second display area 142 may be the display area of the display panel 100 except the first display area 141. area. Preferably, the first display area 141 may satisfy that the boundary line of the first display area 141 coincides with the boundary line of the orthographic projection of the optical device on the display panel 100. The optical device may be any device that transmits and/or receives optical signals transmitted through the display panel 100. For example, the optical device may be a camera, an infrared sensor, etc.

Each first pixel group 110 may be driven by a driving line. In order to reduce wiring, reduce cost, and further increase the light transmittance of the first display area 141, all the first pixels 111 of the plurality of first pixel groups 110 can be driven by the same driving circuit. By driving all the first pixels 111 of the plurality of first pixel groups 110 with the same driving circuit, the control procedure of the pixels in the first display area 141 can also be simplified. In the embodiment of the present application, the same driving circuit drives all first pixels 111 in two adjacent first pixel groups 110 as an example for detailed description: referring to FIG. 4, each first driving circuit 130 may include In the multiple first connecting segments 1311 of the display area 141, among all the first pixels 111 of two adjacent first pixel groups 110 driven by the same first driving circuit 130, every two adjacent first pixels 111 pass through a first pixel 111. A connecting section 1311 is electrically connected.

In order to facilitate the same first driving circuit 130 to drive all the first pixels 111 of two adjacent first pixel groups 110, the position numbers of all the first pixels 111 of the two adjacent first pixel groups 110 may be numbered with the corresponding first pixels 111. A mapping relationship is established between the driving circuits 130.

When “in all the first pixels 111 in two adjacent first pixel groups 110, every two adjacent first pixels 111 are electrically connected by a first connecting section 1311”, it is possible to first determine the two adjacent first pixels 111 The arrangement sequence of all the first pixels 111 in a pixel group 110 is to clarify which two first pixels 111 are adjacent first pixels 111 and need to be electrically connected via the first connection section 1311. Specifically, the arrangement order of all the first pixels 111 in two adjacent first pixel groups 110 may be: referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 9, firstly, the arrangement order of all the first pixels 111 of each first pixel group 110 is determined respectively After that, the arrangement order of all the first pixels 111 in the two first pixel groups 110 is determined by taking one of the first pixel groups 110 as the front and the other first pixel groups 110 as the back.

The arrangement order of all the first pixels 111 in two adjacent first pixel groups 110 can also be as follows: referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 7 and FIG. All first pixels 111 in two adjacent first pixel groups 110 are sorted. For example, along the length direction of the first pixel group 110, the order of the first first pixel 111 in the first first pixel group 110 is determined as one, and the first pixel in the second first pixel group 110 is The order of the first pixel 111 is determined to be two, the order of the second first pixel 111 in the first first pixel group 110 is determined to be three, and the second first pixel in the second first pixel group 110 is determined to be the first The order of the pixels 111 is determined to be four, and the sequence proceeds to the last first pixel 111 according to this rule.

The plurality of first pixel groups 110 may be arranged along the row direction P, and the plurality of first pixels 111 in each first pixel group 110 may all be arranged along the column direction Q. All the first pixels 111 in the first display area 141 may be arranged arbitrarily. Among all the first pixels 111 in the first display area 141, a plurality of first pixels 111 in the same column may be collectively referred to as a first pixel group 110.

In order to make all the first pixels 111 of the first display area 141 light up, the brightness of each part of the first display area 141 is relatively uniform, the arrangement of all the first pixels 111 of the first display area 141 can be: see FIGS. 4 to In FIG. 6, in two adjacent first pixel groups 110, all the first pixels 111 of one first pixel group 110 and all the first pixels 111 of the other first pixel group 110 are staggered one by one.

“In the two adjacent first pixel groups 110, all the first pixels 111 of one first pixel group 110 and all the first pixels 111 of the other first pixel group 110 are interlaced one by one” can be understood as: adjacent Among the two first pixel groups 110, one first pixel 111 of the other first pixel group 110 is correspondingly arranged between two adjacent rows of first pixels 111 of one of the first pixel group 110, and the other first pixel group One first pixel 111 of one of the first pixel groups 110 is correspondingly provided between two adjacent rows of first pixels 111 of 110. For example, in two adjacent first pixel groups 110, the first pixels 111 of one of the first pixel groups 110 are respectively located in the first row, third row, and fifth row, etc., and the first pixels of the other first pixel group 110 111 are located in the second row, fourth row, sixth row, and so on.

When in two adjacent first pixel groups 110, all the first pixels 111 of one first pixel group 110 and all the first pixels 111 of the other first pixel group 110 are alternately arranged one by one, the same first driving circuit The specific implementation of 130 driving all first pixels 111 of two adjacent first pixel groups 110 may be as follows: referring to FIG. 5, all first pixels 111 of two adjacent first pixel groups 110 driven by the same first driving circuit 130 , Two first pixels 111 located in adjacent rows and in adjacent columns are electrically connected by a first connecting section 1311; it can also be: referring to FIG. 6, two adjacent first pixels 111 driven by the same first driving circuit 130 Among all the first pixels 111 in the pixel group 110, two adjacent first pixels 111 located in the same column are electrically connected by a first connecting section 1311, and are located at one end of one of the first pixel groups 110 and are located in two adjacent columns. A pixel 111 is electrically connected through a first connection section 1311.

In order to make all the first pixels 111 in the first display area 141 light up, the brightness of each part of the first display area 141 is relatively uniform, the arrangement of all the first pixels 111 in the first display area 141 can also be: see FIG. 7 As shown in FIG. 9, in two adjacent first pixel groups 110, all the first pixels 111 of one first pixel group 110 and all the first pixels 111 of the other first pixel group 110 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. In the two adjacent first pixel groups 110, all the first pixels 111 of one first pixel group 110 and all the first pixels 111 of the other first pixel group 110 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence to make one of the first pixel groups Each first pixel 111 of 110 is located in the same row as a first pixel 111 of another first pixel group 110. For example, in two adjacent first pixel groups 110, the first pixel 111 of one first pixel group 110 is located in the first row, second row, third row, etc., and the first pixel of the other first pixel group 110 The pixels 111 are respectively located in the first row, second row, third row, and so on.

When in two adjacent first pixel groups 110, all the first pixels 111 of one of the first pixel groups 110 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with all the first pixels 111 of the other first pixel group 110, the same first driving circuit The specific implementation of 130 driving all the first pixels 111 of two adjacent first pixel groups 110 may be as follows: referring to FIG. 8, all the first pixels 111 of two adjacent first pixel groups 110 driven by the same first driving circuit 130 , Two first pixels 111 located in the same row are electrically connected by a first connecting section 1311, and one of the two first pixels 111 located in the same row passes through a first pixel 111 in an adjacent row and column. One first connecting segment 1311 is electrically connected; it can also be: referring to FIG. 9, among all first pixels 111 of two adjacent first pixel groups 110 driven by the same first driving circuit 130, two adjacent second pixels 111 in the same column are located One pixel 111 is electrically connected through a first connecting section 1311, and two first pixels 111 located at one end of one of the first pixel groups 110 and in adjacent columns are electrically connected through a first connecting section 1311.

When in two adjacent first pixel groups 110, all the first pixels 111 of one first pixel group 110 and all the first pixels 111 of the other first pixel group 110 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, each row has a first pixel 111 A pixel 111 has one first pixel 111 located in the upper row and in the adjacent row and adjacent column, and one first pixel 111 located in the lower row and in the adjacent row and adjacent column. Therefore, the above-mentioned “One of the two first pixels 111 located in the same row and one of the first pixels 111 in the adjacent row and adjacent column are electrically connected through a first connecting segment 1311” may be: two first pixels 111 in the same row One of them is electrically connected to a first pixel 111 located in the upper row and in an adjacent column through a first connection section 1311, and is also electrically connected to a first pixel 111 located in the next row and in an adjacent column through a first pixel 111. A connecting section 1311 is electrically connected.

In order to make the wiring of each first pixel 111 relatively balanced, so as to avoid that some of the first pixels 111 have too many wirings and poor light transmittance, which affects the performance of the optical device, the above-mentioned "two in the same row One of the first pixels 111 is electrically connected to a first pixel 111 in an adjacent row and column through a first connecting section 1311. "It can be: among the two first pixels 111 in the same row, one of the first pixels 111 111 is electrically connected to a first pixel 111 located in the upper row and in an adjacent column through a first connecting section 1311, and another first pixel 111 passes through a first pixel 111 located in the next row and in an adjacent column. A first connecting section 1311 is electrically connected.

The first driving circuit 130 may only include a plurality of first connection segments 1311, so that the first driving circuit 130 is only used to drive all the first pixels 111 in the first pixel group 110 that are electrically connected via the plurality of first connection segments 1311. Of course, in order to simplify the pixel control procedure, referring to FIG. 4, the first driving circuit 130 may also include a second connecting segment 1312 located in the second display area 142. The second connection section 1312 is electrically connected to the first connection section 1311 of the same first driving circuit 130, and the second connection section 1312 electrically connects all the second pixels 121 in a second pixel group 120. Specifically, the second connection section 1312 may include a plurality of second sub-connection sections, and the second connection section 1312 electrically connects all the second pixels 121 in a second pixel group 120 as follows: every two adjacent second pixels All 121 are electrically connected through a second sub-connection section.

The plurality of second pixel groups 120 may be arranged along the row direction P, and the plurality of second pixels 121 in each second pixel group 120 may all be arranged along the column direction Q. The row direction P may be perpendicular to the column direction Q.

The second connecting section 1312 can electrically connect all the second pixels 121 in any one of the second pixel groups 120. Of course, in order to reduce wiring and enhance the light transmittance of the display panel 100, a second pixel group 120 electrically connected to the second connecting section 1312 can be electrically connected to multiple first connecting sections 1311 in the same first driving circuit 130 as much as possible. The two connected first pixel groups 110 are close. Preferably, referring to FIG. 4, in the same first driving circuit 130, the column where one second pixel group 120 electrically connected to the second connecting section 1312 is located may be electrically connected to two adjacent second pixel groups that are electrically connected to the plurality of first connecting sections 1311. One of the two columns in which a pixel group 110 is located is the same. For example, in the same first driving circuit 130, the column in which one second pixel group 120 electrically connected to the second connecting section 1312 is located is column A, and the plurality of first connecting sections 1311 are electrically connected to two adjacent first pixel groups 110. The columns are respectively column B and column C, column A is the same as column B; or, column A is the same as column C.

The number of the first pixel group 110 may be any number greater than two. For example, the number of the first pixel group 110 may be two, three, four, five, six, etc. When the number of the first pixel groups 110 is an even number, taking two adjacent first pixel groups 110 as a group, all the first pixel groups 110 can just form a group. When the number of the first pixel groups 110 is an odd number, taking two adjacent first pixel groups 110 as a group, there will be one remaining first pixel group 110 that cannot be grouped. For the remaining first pixel group 110, the wiring of all the first pixels 111 may be electrically connected between every two adjacent first pixels 111 through a connecting section.

When the number of the first pixel groups 110 is two, the distance between the two first pixel groups 110 may be arbitrary. Of course, in order to make the column where one second pixel group 120 electrically connected to the second connecting section 1312 in the same first driving circuit 130 is located, two first pixel groups 110 that can be electrically connected to the multiple first connecting sections 1311 are located. One of the two columns is the same, and the column where each first pixel group 110 is located may be the same as the column where one second pixel group 120 is located.

When the column where each first pixel group 110 is located is the same as the column where one second pixel group 120 is located, the positional relationship between the first pixel group 110 and the second pixel group 120 may be as follows: The first pixel group 110 is located in two second pixel groups 120 in the same column, and S second pixel groups 120 may be spaced between the two second pixel groups 120, and S is a positive integer. S can be 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

When the number of the first pixel groups 110 is more than three, the spacing between two adjacent first pixel groups 110 may be equal or unequal. When the number of the second pixel groups 120 is more than three, the spacing between two adjacent second pixel groups 120 may be equal or unequal. Of course, in order to make the display effect of the display panel 100 more uniform, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the distance between two adjacent first pixel groups 110 is preferably equal, and the distance between two adjacent second pixel groups 120 Preferably they are equal.

When the distance between two adjacent first pixel groups 110 is equal, and the distance between two adjacent second pixel groups 120 is equal, the arrangement of the multiple first pixel groups 110 and the multiple second pixel groups 120 The arrangement of may satisfy that the distance between two adjacent first pixel groups 110 is M times the distance between two adjacent second pixel groups 120. M can be any positive integer. For example, M can be 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on. Wherein, when M is 1, the distance between every two adjacent first pixel groups 110 is equal to the distance between every two adjacent second pixel groups 120. At this time, in order to make the first display area 141 The arrangement density of the first pixels 111 is smaller than the arrangement density of the second pixels 121 in the second display area 142. Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. The distance between each second pixel group 120 is greater than the distance between every two adjacent second pixels 121 in one second pixel group 120. For example, the pitch between every two adjacent first pixels 111 in one first pixel group 110 may be N times the pitch between every two adjacent second pixels 121 in one second pixel group 120. N can be any positive number greater than 1. Preferably, N can be any positive integer greater than one. For example, N can be 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on.

In order to reduce the influence of the first pixel 111 on the performance of the optical device, when M is a positive integer greater than 1, the pitch of every two adjacent first pixels 111 in a first pixel group 110 may also be greater than one second pixel The pitch of every two adjacent second pixels 121 in the group 120.

Referring to FIG. 1, the first display area 141 may be disposed inside the second display area 142. Referring to FIG. 2, the first display area 141 may also be arranged at the edge of the second display area 142. When the first display area 141 is located inside the second display area 142, that is, when the first display area 141 is completely surrounded by the second display area 142, in the column direction Q, there may be pixels at both ends of the first pixel group 110 In this way, the pixels at both ends of the first pixel group 110 need to be driven by wires. When the first display area 141 is located inside the second display area 142, and in the column direction Q, there are pixels at both ends of the first pixel group 110, referring to FIG. 10, a plurality of first connections of the first driving circuit 130 The segment 1311 can be used to drive all the first pixels 111 of two adjacent first pixel groups 110, and the second connecting segment 1312 of the same first driving circuit 130 can be used to drive one second pixel group 120 at one end of the first pixel group 110. All the second pixels 121, and the second pixel group 120 at the other end of the first pixel group 110 can be driven by additionally setting a fourth driving line. Of course, in order to reduce wiring and simplify the pixel control procedure, the first display area 141 is preferably located at the edge of the second display area 142, so that in the column direction Q, only one end of the first pixel group 110 has pixels. . Specifically, referring to FIG. 2, the first display area 141 disposed on the edge of the second display area 142 may be such that the first display area 141 is partially surrounded by the second display area 142.

The first display area 141 may have any shape. For example, the first display area 141 may be circular, rectangular, or the like. Preferably, the first display area 141 is rectangular. When the first display area 141 is rectangular, the first display area 141 has four sides, and the first display area 141 is located at the edge of the second display area 142: the first display area 141 is partially surrounded by the second display area 142, The exposed edge of the first display area 141 is a side line 1411 of the first display area 141, and the exposed edge is flush with the edge of the second display area 142. Wherein, the sideline 1411 may be parallel to the row direction P.

Among the plurality of second pixel groups 120, some of the second pixels 121 of the second pixel group 120 are electrically connected through the second connecting section 1312. In order to enable the second pixels 121 of the remaining second pixel groups 120 to be used normally, the display panel 100 It may also include a second driving circuit 150 and a third driving circuit 160 located in the second display area 142. Specifically, among all the second pixel groups 120, for the plurality of second pixel groups 120 that pass through the first display area 141 in the length direction and are not electrically connected to the second connecting section 1312, all the second pixel groups 120 of each second pixel group 120 Both pixels 121 are electrically connected via a second driving circuit 150. Specifically, the second driving line 150 may include a plurality of third sub-connection lines, and all the second pixels 121 of each second pixel group 120 are electrically connected via one second driving line 150, which may be: each second pixel group Two adjacent second pixels 121 of 120 are electrically connected via a third sub-connection line.

Among all the second pixel groups 120, for the plurality of second pixel groups 120 that do not pass through the first display area 141 in the length direction, all the second pixels 121 of each second pixel group 120 are electrically connected via a third driving line 160 . Specifically, the third driving line 160 may include a plurality of fourth sub-connection lines, and all the second pixels 121 of each second pixel group 120 are electrically connected via a third driving line 160, which may be: each second pixel group Two adjacent second pixels 121 of 120 are electrically connected via a fourth sub-connection line.

The materials of the first driving circuit 130, the second driving circuit 150 and the third driving circuit 160 can be any conductive material. For example, the conductive material may be metal. Of course, in order to enhance the light transmittance of the first display area 141 and improve the use performance of the optical device, the conductive material may have a higher light transmittance. For example, the conductive material may be indium tin oxide. The preparation material of the plurality of first connecting segments 1311 is preferably indium tin oxide.

The embodiments of the present application only describe in detail the routing of all pixels of the display panel 100 along the column direction Q. Regarding the routing of all pixels in the row direction P, the same routing method as in the column direction Q can be adopted; for example, all pixels can be divided into a plurality of third pixel groups located in the first display area 141 and The multiple fourth pixel groups in the second display area 142, and the multiple third pixel groups are arranged along the column direction Q, the multiple pixels in each third pixel group are arranged along the row direction P, and the multiple fourth pixels The groups are arranged along the column direction Q, and the multiple pixels in each fourth pixel group are arranged along the row direction P.
