Description

显示面板及电子设备 技术领域
本发明涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种显示面板及电子设备。
背景技术
在AMOLED(Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode,有源矩阵有机发光二极体)显示面板的设计中,屏下摄像头技术实现了正面无刘海、无挖孔的真全面屏形态,但优化提高AMOLED面板的屏下摄像头区域的显示效果,一直以来是一个难题。为了提高AMOLED面板的屏下摄像头区的透光性,屏下摄像头区的像素驱动电路密度明显低于正常显示区的像素驱动电路密度,传输同一扫描信号的屏下摄像头区的扫描信号线和正常显示区的扫描信号线不在同一水平位置,扫描信号线在两个区域之间的交界处存在换线,导致正常显示区与屏下摄像头区域交界处的像素所处的布线环境复杂。
交界处的像素所处布线环境与正常显示区其他位置的像素所处布线环境不同,交界处的换线会与其邻近的有源层膜层之间形成寄生电容。而扫描信号是交流信号,高电平与低电平之间的跳变由于电容耦合作用,会影响像素显示的亮度。因此正常显示区其他位置扫描信号的高低跳变产生的电位串扰与交界处扫描信号的高低跳变产生的电位串扰会存在差异,导致AMOLED面板出现亮度明暗不均(Mura)的问题。
技术问题

进一步地,一个所述第二像素驱动电路可驱动所述第一显示区AA1的多个颜色相同的子像素发光,以减少第二像素驱动电路占用的空间。例如,两个第二红色子像素12a可由同一个第二像素驱动电路驱动,四个第二绿色子像素12b可由同一个第二像素驱动电路驱动,两个第二蓝色子像素12c可由同一个第二像素驱动电路驱动。一个所述第一像素驱动电路可驱动所述第二显示区AA2的一个子像素发光。

请参阅图1,在本发明的实施例中,所述第一显示区AA1包括透光显示区101和设于所述透光显示区101外的过渡显示区102,所述过渡显示区102位于所述透光显示区101和所述过渡显示区102之间。所述第二显示区AA2的面积大于所述过渡显示区102的面积和所述透光显示区101的面积,所述透光显示区101在实现显示的同时具有高的透明度,所述透光显示区101的透光率大于所述过渡显示区102的透光率和所述第二显示区AA2的透光率。
摄像头等感光元件可与所述透光显示区101对应设置,为提高透光显示区101的透光率,可将全部的第二像素驱动电路均设置在过渡显示区102内。
所述透光显示区101的形状可为圆形,所述过渡显示区102环绕所述透光显示区101,所述第二显示区AA2环绕所述过渡显示区102,所述过渡显示区102的形状可为环形,具体可为圆环形。在其他实施例中,所述透光显示区101还可为方形、菱形、椭圆形等其他形状,对应地,所述过渡显示区102还可为方环形、椭圆环形。
请参阅图3,图3为所述显示面板的第一显示区的局部放大示意图。若干个所述第二像素驱动电路集中布置以形成像素驱动岛13,即一个所述像素驱动岛13包括若干个第二像素驱动电路。多个所述像素驱动岛13环绕在所述透光显示区101的上下两侧,连接所述像素驱动岛13之间的信号线位于所述过渡显示区102内,所述信号线包括数据线VDATA、扫描信号线SCAN、第一电压线(直流电源信号线VDD)、控制信号线EM、复位信号线RESET、初始化信号线VI、第二电压线(直流低电压信号线VSS,通常接地)等。
请参阅图4,图4为第一显示区AA1和第二显示区AA2的交界处的局部放大平面示意图。在上述设计中,由于所述第二像素驱动电路的密度与所述第一像素驱动电路的密度存在差异,因此显示面板的第一信号线(如扫描信号线SCAN、控制信号线EM)在第二显示区AA2和第一显示区AA1的交界处会存在换线。
本实施例中的所述第一信号线包括电连接所述第一像素驱动电路的第一子信号线、电连接所述第二像素驱动电路的第二子信号线,以及电连接所述第一子信号线和对应的所述第二子信号线的第一转换线,所述第一转换线与所述第一子信号线、所述第二子信号线异层设置。
在本发明的实施例中,所述第一子信号线可位于所述第一显示区,所述第二子信号线位于所述第二显示区,所述第一转换线位于所述第一显示区和所述第二显示区的交界处。
请继续参阅图4,所述显示面板除开在换线处以外的其他位置的布线排列规整,导致交界处靠近该换线位置的像素驱动电路(图4中的A处)所处布线环境与其他位置的第一像素驱动电路或第二像素驱动电路所处布线环境存在差异,第一信号线的高低灰阶跳变导致的电容耦合作用对换线位置的像素驱动电路电性的影响和对其他位置第一像素驱动电路或第二像素驱动电路电性的影响之间存在差异,导致边界产生Mura现象。
所述像素驱动电路可位于所述第一显示区AA1,也可位于所述第二显示区AA2,但所述像素驱动电路需满足位于两个区域交界处。本实施例位于交界处的像素驱动电路以位于所述第二显示区AA2的第一像素驱动电路为例进行说明。
本发明实施例以扫描信号线SCAN产生的高低跳变对换线位置和其他位置产生的电性影响存在差异为例进行说明。
具体地,所述显示面板100包括多条扫描信号线SCAN,所述扫描信号线SCAN包括第一子信号线21、第二子信号线22以及第一转换线23,所述第一转换线23电连接所述第一子信号线21和所述第二子信号线22,所述第一子信号线21电连接同一行第一像素驱动电路,所述第二子信号线22电连接同一行第二像素驱动电路。所述第一子信号线21和所述第二子信号线22传递同一扫描信号,所述第一子信号线21和所述第二子信号线22不处于同一水平位置,即所述第一子信号线21和所述第二子信号线22的连线不在同一直线上。
请参阅图4和图5,所述发光控制信号线EM包括电连接同一行第一像素驱动电路的第一发光控制信号线51、电连接同一行第二像素驱动电路的第二发光控制信号线(未示出),以及电连接所述第一发光控制信号线51和对应的所述第二发光控制信号线的第二转换线,所述第一发光控制信号线51和所述第二发光控制信号线传递同一发光控制信号,所述第一发光控制信号线51和所述第二发光控制信号线不处于同一水平位置。
扫描信号线SCAN的第一转换线23与其靠近的第一驱动电路(图4的A处)的有源部膜层相邻,第一转换线23会与相邻的有源部膜层产生寄生电容(图4的B处),发生电容耦合作用,因扫描信号线SCAN发生高低灰阶跳变导致的信号串扰对交界处的第一像素单元11和对其他位置的第一像素单元11产生的影响存在差异,因此会导致交界处与第二显示区AA2的其他位置存在Mura,降低显示面板100的显示效果。
本发明实施例针对上述缺陷,在靠近所述第一转换线23的有源部膜层上对应设置屏蔽层,以切割第一转换线23与邻近的有源部膜层之间的电场,减少二者之间的寄生电容,进而减小对该处的第一像素驱动电路的对应点的电位受到的扰动影响。
具体地,请参阅图5和图6,图5为本发明实施例提供的第一像素驱动电路的半导体层的平面示意图,图6为本发明实施例提供的第一像素驱动电路的平面示意图。所述第一像素驱动电路和所述第二像素驱动电路均包括多个薄膜晶体管,所述薄膜晶体管包括源极、漏极以及有源部。

具体地,所述屏蔽层40在所述显示面板100的厚度方向上的正投影至少部分覆盖靠近第一转换线23的连接部31,以减少第一转换线23和靠近所述第一转换线23的连接部31之间的寄生电容。所述屏蔽层40的材料包括钼(Mo)金属。
优选地,所述屏蔽层40在所述显示面板100上的正投影可完全覆盖靠近所述第一转换线23的所述连接部。但需注意的是,屏蔽层40在显示面板100的厚度方向上的正投影与其邻近的金属器件(如栅极、电容板等)在显示面板100的厚度方向上的正投影不重叠,所述屏蔽层40在所述显示面板100上的正投影与所述第一转换线23在所述显示面板100上的正投影之间具有间隙,避免对其他金属器件的功能及信号产生干扰。
请参阅图3,在本发明的实施例中,所述第一子信号线21位于所述第二显示区AA2,所述第二子信号线22位于所述过渡显示区102,位于所述过渡显示区102周边且靠近所述第一转换线23的多个所述第二像素驱动电路对应设置有所述屏蔽层40。
进一步地,所述第二显示区AA2围绕所述过渡显示区102,所述第一显示区AA1包括与所述第一子信号线21平行的对称轴L1,所述屏蔽层40关于所述对称轴L1对称。一种实施例中,所述屏蔽层40平行于所述第一转换线23,避免屏蔽层40占据过多的布线空间。

请参阅图8,所述第一像素驱动电路包括三个工作阶段:复位阶段、充电阶段以及发光阶段。复位阶段时:扫描信号线Scan(n-1)置为低电平,初始化晶体管T4打开,驱动晶体管T1的栅极复位到初始电压Vi。充电阶段:扫描信号线Scan(n)置为低电平,开关晶体管T2和补偿晶体管T3打开,对驱动晶体管T1的栅极电位充电至Vdata–Vth(Vth为驱动晶体管T1的阈值电压),与此同时,阳极复位晶体管T7打开,发光器件的阳极电位复位到初始电压Vi。发光阶段:发光控制信号线EM(n)置为低电平,发光器件发光。在充电阶段中,T1~T3打开,T4~T6关闭。此时,数据线VDATA通过T1~T3路径对驱动晶体管T1的栅极充电。当驱动晶体管T1的栅极电位上升到Vdata-Vth,驱动晶体管T1截止,其栅极电位不再上。
