在一些实施例中,如图4和图5所示,显示面板还包括多个第二连接部50,该第二连接部50也可以呈阵列排布,例如可以沿第一方向Y排列为多排,并沿第二方向X排列为多排。每个第二连接部50分别与一个像素电极31和一个驱动晶体管20连接,相邻的第二连接部50沿第一方向Y间隔设置形成第一容置空间501,其中,第一弯折部41位于第一容置空间501内。第二连接部50和第一连接部40沿第二方向X错位设置,具体地,第一连接部40和第二连接部50可以是平行设置。第一连接部40和第二连接部50的作用相同,第一连接部40和第二连接部50的区别仅在于形状不同,具体地,第一弯折部41和第二弯折部51的弯折方向相反。通过第一容置空间501为第一弯折部41提高足够大的弯折绕线空间,使得第一弯折部41在第一容置空间501中可以形成较长的弯折长度,以使得第一弯折部41可以尽可能地分布于第一容置空间501中,由此增加了第二连接部50的分布面积,从而有利于减少显示面板的透光量,避免漏光以及避免第二连接部50分布过于稀疏致使相邻的第二连接部50之间形成光栅效应问题,进而有利于提高显示面板的显示均一性。
其中,第一方向Y和第二方向X交叉,第一方向Y与第二方向X可以设置为平行于显示面板的同一显示平面内,具体地,在本实施例中,第一方向Y和第二方向X可以是相互垂直的方向,第一方向Y可以是竖直方向,第二方向X可以为水平方向。需要说明的是,平行是指两条直线形成的角度为-10°以上且10°以下的状态,因此,也包括该角度为-5°以上且5°以下的状态。另外,“垂直”是指两条直线形成的角度为80°以上且100°以下的状态,因此,也包括85°以上且95°以下的角度的状态。
在一些实施例中,第二连接部50的中部设置有第二弯折部51,其中,第一弯折部41和第二弯折部51的弯折方向相反,相邻的第一连接部40沿第一方向Y间隔设置形成第二容置空间401,第二弯折部51位于第二容置空间401内。本申请实施例通过第二容置空间401为第二弯折部51提高足够大的弯折绕线空间,使得第二弯折部51在第二容置空间401中可以形成较长的弯折长度,以使得第二弯折部51可以尽可能地分布于第二容置空间401中,从而有利于在第一容置空间501和第一弯折部41的基础上,进一步提高第二连接部50和第二连接部50之间的结构紧凑性,可以更好地避免漏光以及光栅效应等问题,有利于进一步提高显示面板的显示均一性。
在一些实施例中,第一弯折部41和第二弯折部51可以是具有折线、曲线以及弧线中的至少一种形状的弯折部。例如,第二弯折部51可以为仅由折线、曲线以及弧线中的任意一种形状构成的弯折部,第二弯折部51可以是由折线和曲线两种形状构成的弯折部等;示例性地,第二弯折部51可以是由连续多段折线构成的锯齿状,也可以是由多段连续的曲线构成的波浪线状,本实施在不对第二弯折部51的形状做具体限制。
在一些实施例中,第一连接部40和第二连接部50采用透明导电材质制成。具体地,第一连接部40和第二连接部50均可以采用氧化铟锡(Indium Tin Oxide,ITO)、氧化铟锌(Indium Zinc Oxide,IZO)、铟镓锌氧化物(Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide,IGZO)中的任一种或几种形成。由于透明导电材料光栅效应较小,因此,通过将第一连接部40和第二连接部50采用也采用透明导电材料制成,从而可以有效减小金属制作第一连接部40和第二连接部50的光栅效应,有利于进一步提高显示面板的显示效果。
在一些实施例中,如图6所示,显示面板包括第一显示区101以及扇出区103,扇出区103与第一显示区101重合,具体地,扇出区103与第一显示区101为部分重合,即第一显示区101包括扇出区103。第一连接部40位于第一显示区101内,即,第一连接部40也位于扇出区103内。
其中,第一显示区101为显示面板中实际显示图像的区域。扇出区103指显示面板的多条数据线呈扇形聚拢的区域,扇出区103一端与显示面板的多条数据线电连接,一端与栅极驱动电路电连接,以使栅极驱动电路实现逐行扫描驱动。一般情况下,扇出区103位于显示面板的非显示区域,不利于显示面板的窄边框或无边框的实现。当扇出区103与第一显示区101重合(Fanout in AA,FIAA),即沿着显示面板的厚度方向,扇出区103位于第一显示区101的下方,对于扇出区103内用于显示的子像素进行压缩,即通过减少开关器件的尺寸以及走线线宽等的分布,使得一部分空间用于连接扇出区103的数据线等走线,从而扇出区103可以复用为显示图像的区域。示例性地,扇出区103可以与栅极驱动电路同层设置,也可以与栅极驱动电路非同层设置,只要扇出区103位于第一显示区101的下方即可,具体不作限制。通过设置扇出区103与第一显示区101重合,以进一步减小或者消除显示面板的非显示区域,有利于显示面板窄边框或无边框的实现;此外,由于扇出区103内的子像素由于开关器件以及金属走线由于尺寸压缩导致部分走线,尤其是第一连接部40的走线较为稀疏,造成熄屏和亮屏状态下的横向可视显示不均现象,因此,通过设置扇出区103内的第一连接部40的同时也有利于改善扇出区103显示时的均一性。
其中,第一显示区101的形状可以为多种,示例性地,第一显示区101可以为矩形,例如圆角矩形,第一显示区101还可以为圆形或椭圆形,当然,第一显示区101也可以为矩形、半圆形、五边形等其他形状。本实施例对此不做具体限定。
在一些实施例中,显示面板还包括第二显示区102,第一显示区101和第二显示区102相邻设置。其中,第二显示区102为显示面板中实际显示图像的区域。相对于第一显示区101,第二显示区102为常规显示区,即第二显示区102不与扇出区103重合。具体地,第一显示区101可以位于显示面板的顶部正中间位置。第二显示区102可以围绕在第一显示区101的四周。然而,本实施例对此并不限定。示例性地,第一显示区101可以位于显示面板的左上角或者右上角等其他位置,或者,第二显示区102可以围绕在第一显示区101的至少一侧。其中,第二显示区102的形状可以为多种,示例性地,第二显示区102可以为矩形,例如圆角矩形,第二显示区102还可以为圆形或椭圆形,当然,第二显示区102也可以为矩形、半圆形、五边形等其他形状。本实施例对此不做具体限定。
在一些实施例中,如图7和图8所示,显示面板还包括多个第三连接部60。其中,第一连接部40和第三连接部60的主要区别在于分布形状的不同。
其中,第三连接部60位于第一显示区101、扇出区103以及第二显示区102中的至少一个区域内,其中,第一连接部40和第三连接部60同层设置,每个第三连接部60分别与一个像素电极31和一个驱动晶体管20连接,第三连接部60呈直线状且沿第一方向Y延伸,示例性地,第三连接部60可以在第一方向Y上,沿着第二显示区102、扇出区103以及第一显示区101依次延伸,或者,第三连接部60也可以仅仅在扇出区103内沿着第一方向Y延伸。相邻的第三连接部60沿第二方向X上间隔设置,每个第三连接部60设置于相邻的两个第一连接部40之间。由于第一连接部40和第三连接部60同层设置,且第一连接部40和第三连接部60均为起到电性连接的连接部,因此,在第一连接部40的基础上设置第三连接部60可以提高第一连接部40和第二连接部50之间的结构紧凑性,有利于增加第一连接部40和第三连接部60所在膜层的金属的面积,通过增加分布密度,从而可以进一步避免漏光以及光栅效应等问题。
其中,请继续参考图8,显示面板还包括多个第四连接部70。第四连接部70设置于第二显示区102内,该第四连接部70也可以呈阵列排布,例如可以沿第一方向Y排列为多排,并沿第二方向X排列为多排。每个第四连接部70分别与一个像素电极31和一个驱动晶体管20连接,第四连接部70沿第一方向Y延伸,相邻的第四连接部70沿第一方向Y间隔设置,第四连接部70的中部设置有第三弯折部71,第四连接部70的端部形成有第四弯折部72。
通过在第二显示区102内,将第四连接部70的中部设置为弯折部,从而在单位面积内尽可能地增加每个第一连接部40的长度,由此增加了第四连接部70的分布面积,从而有利于减少显示面板的第二显示区102的透光量,避免漏光以及避免第四连接部70分布过于稀疏致使相邻的第四连接部70之间形成光栅效应问题,进而可以提高显示面板中的第一显示区101和第二显示区102的显示均一性,有利于进一步提升显示面板整体的显示效果。
在一些实施例中,如图3所示,显示面板还可以包括多个第五连接部80。多个第五连接部80也可以呈阵列排布,例如可以沿第一方向Y排列为多排,并沿第二方向X排列为多排。第五连接部80位于第一显示区101内,每个第五连接部80连接于一像素电极31和一第一连接部40之间;或者,每个第五连接部80连接于一像素电极31和一第二连接部50之间。其中,第五连接部80可以用于连接电压信号走线VDD,以此增加驱动晶体管20与信号走线VDD的连接数量,从而可以增强显示驱动能力。
在一些实施例中,第一连接部40包括第一过孔403和第二过孔404,如图8所示,其中第一连接部40通过第一过孔403与像素电极31连接,第一连接部40通过第二过孔404与驱动晶体管20连接,第一过孔403和第二过孔404可以相邻设置,或者第一过孔403和第二过孔404也可以间隔设置。其中,第一过孔403和第二过孔404在衬底基板10上的距离的长短也会影响到第五连接部80的长度,具体地,第一过孔403和第二过孔404之间的距离越长,第五连接部80的走线长度也会越长,第一过孔403和第二过孔404在衬底基板10上的距离越短,第五连接部80的走线长度也会越短。因此,通过第五连接部80的实际长度需要,从而调整第一过孔403和第二过孔404的过孔位置距离,有利于提高第一连接部40实现连接的灵活性。示例性地,通过设每一行的第一连接部40上第一过孔403和第二过孔404的距离相同,从而可以设置第五连接部80的面积的分布具有规律性,从而可以防止在第五连接部80的设置区域中,由于第五连接部80面积不同,导致光的不断反射导致不同的第五连接部80上方的子像素的亮度不同,使得某一处的显示亮度发生明显的突变,即通过控制第五连接部80分布的密度,使得第五连接部80所在的显示区域起到显示效果过渡的作用,以此减弱因第五连接部80的设置引起的显示不均的问题。
由于第三连接部60和第一连接部40的连接关系相同,因此第一过孔403和第二过孔404也可以设置于第三连接部60上,可以具有相同的效果,在此不再赘述。
需要说明的是,第三连接部60、第四连接部70以及第五连接部80也均可以采用透明导电材质制成。具体地,第三连接部60、第四连接部70以及第五连接部80均可以采用氧化铟锡(Indium Tin Oxide,ITO)、氧化铟锌(Indium Zinc Oxide,IZO)、铟镓锌氧化物(Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide,IGZO)中的任一种或几种形成。其中,第一连接部40、第二连接部50、第三连接部60、第四连接部70以及第五连接部80的材质可以相同,也可以不同,在此不做具体限制。
本申请还提供一种显示装置,该显示装置包括上述的显示面板。本申请实施例的显示装置中的显示面板通过在驱动晶体管20和像素电极31之间设置用于连接外部信号走线第一连接部40,使得每个第一连接部40分别与一个像素电极31和一个驱动晶体管20连接,第一连接部40沿第一方向Y延伸,相邻的第一连接部40间隔设置,第一连接部40的中部设置有第一弯折部41,从而可以在单位面积内尽可能地增加每个第一连接部40的长度,由此增加了第一连接部40的分布面积,从而有利于减少显示面板的透光量,避免漏光以及避免第一连接部40分布过于稀疏致使相邻的第一连接部40之间形成光栅效应问题,进而可以提高显示面板的显示均一性,有利于提升显示效果。
由于该显示装置具有上述显示面板,因此具有全部相同的有益效果,本实施例在此不再赘述。本申请实施例对于所述显示装置的适用不做具体限制,其可以是电视机、笔记本电脑、平板电脑、可穿戴显示设备(如智能手环、智能手表等)、手机、虚拟现实设备、增强现实设备、车载显示、广告灯箱等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。
