[0036]
[0037] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display panel. The display panel includes a display region, where at least a portion of the display region is a transparent display region. The transparent display region includes a plurality of sub-regions, where the plurality of sub-regions are arranged in an array and have the same shape and the same area. Each sub-region includes a first side and a second side which are adjacent to each other, where a first side of a certain sub-region also serves as a certain side of an adjacent sub-region in a first direction, and a second side of the certain sub-region also serves as a certain side of an adjacent sub-region in a second direction, where the first direction intersects the second direction, and the first direction intersects with the first side. Each sub-region includes a non-light-transmissive region and a light-transmissive region, where light-transmissive regions in the plurality of sub-regions have the same shape. A distance between a center of the light-transmissive region and a first side of a sub-region where the light-transmissive region is located is d.sub.1, a distance between the center of the light-transmissive region and a second side of the sub-region where the light-transmissive region is located is d.sub.2, and at least two sub-regions have at least one of different d.sub.1 or different d.sub.2.
[0038] A type of the display panel and a manner in which the light-transmissive regions are formed are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the display panel may be a display panel based on an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a display panel based on a micro light-emitting diode (micro-LED) or a display panel in which two or more types of light-emitting element are integrated. The light-transmissive regions may be formed through punches in a light shielding layer, through punches in a black pixel defining layer or in other manners. The light-emitting element is disposed in the non-light-transmissive region, and its specific position may be designed according to an actual situation.
[0039] In an embodiment,
[0040] In other embodiments, it may be set that only d.sub.1 is different for at least two sub-regions 21, only d.sub.2 is different for at least two sub-regions 21, both d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 are different for at least two sub-regions 21, or at least two of the above three cases are included (for example,
[0041] It is to be noted that the shape of the sub-region in the preceding embodiments is only illustrative, and in other embodiments, the sub-region may be in other shapes, such as a hexagon and a triangle. The shape of the corresponding light-transmissive region is also not limited. For example, the light-transmissive region may also be in a shape such as a circle and an ellipse. In an embodiment,
[0042] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the transparent display region is disposed and the transparent display can be achieved. Alternatively, a photosensor is disposed in the transparent display region and full screen display can be achieved. The plurality of sub-regions are arranged in the transparent display region and include the light-transmissive regions which have the same shape and light transmission uniformity of the light-transmissive regions is improved. At least one of d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 is different for at least two sub-regions, which can avoid a fixed grating in the light-transmissive regions, reduce the diffraction when the light is transmitted through the light-transmissive regions, improve the display effect of the transparent display region or solve the problem of a poor quality of light received by an under-screen photosensor.
[0043] In an embodiment, distances between centers of two adjacent light-transmissive regions have at least two different values.
[0044] The transparent display region in the present embodiment includes the plurality of sub-regions densely spliced and arranged. The light-transmissive regions may be designed in the present embodiment according to an idea that centers of different light-transmissive regions are located in different positions of the sub-regions where the light-transmissive regions are located. Therefore, it may be set that the distance between the centers of two adjacent light-transmissive regions has at least two different values and the centers of the light-transmissive regions are randomly distributed within preset ranges of the sub-regions where the light-transmissive regions are located. It is to be understood that in some embodiments, when at least one of d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 has different values (in practice, d.sub.1 may be different, d.sub.2 may be different or both d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 may be different for two sub-regions), the distances between the centers of two adjacent light-transmissive regions at different positions may be the same. In an embodiment, in
[0045] In an embodiment, at least two adjacent sub-regions have at least one of different d.sub.1 or different d.sub.2.
[0046] In an embodiment, with continued reference to
[0047] In another embodiment, when the light-transmissive regions are designed, at least one of d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 may conform to a preset rule in a determined direction. In an embodiment, in at least one of the first direction and the second direction, d.sub.1 in sub-regions varies according to a first rule, and/or d.sub.2 in sub-regions varies according to a second rule. The first rule includes m different values of d.sub.1, the second rule includes n different values of d.sub.2, where m≥2, n≥2, and each of m and n is an integer.
[0048] In a specific implementation, d.sub.1 may be designed to vary in the first direction according to the first rule, vary in the second direction according to the first rule, or vary in both the first direction and the second direction according to the first rule (which may be different specific rules in the first direction and the second direction); d.sub.2 may be designed to vary in the first direction according to the second rule, vary in the second direction according to the second rule, or vary in both the first direction and the second direction according to the second rule (which may be different specific rules in the first direction and the second direction); d.sub.1 may be designed to vary in the first direction according to the first rule, and at the same time, d.sub.2 may be designed to vary in the first direction or the second direction according to the second rule or vary in both the first direction and the second direction according to the second rule; or d.sub.1 may be designed to vary in the second direction according to the first rule, and at the same time, d.sub.2 may be designed to vary in the first direction or the second direction according to the second rule or vary in both the first direction and the second direction according to the second rule. The first rule and the second rule may be designed according to an actual situation and are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. In an embodiment, d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 may progressively increase or decrease by a fixed value or an unfixed value or vary at a fixed ratio or an unfixed ratio. In an embodiment, in the first rule, the m different values of d.sub.1 are in an arithmetic progression, and/or in the second rule, the n different values of d.sub.2 are in an arithmetic progression. In a specific implementation, the first rule and the second rule may be selected according to an actual situation. That is, the m different values of d.sub.1 may be in an arithmetic progression, the n different values of d.sub.2 may be in an arithmetic progression, or the m different values of d.sub.1 may be in an arithmetic progression, and at the same time, the n different values of d.sub.2 may be in an arithmetic progression, which may be flexibly selected according to an actual situation in a specific implementation.
[0049] In an embodiment, m=n=3 and the first rule and the second rule are varying according to arithmetic progressions.
[0050] In another embodiment, the variation rule of d.sub.1 or d.sub.2 may not be limited to one rule, for example, at least two sub-rules may be alternated. In an embodiment, in at least one of the first direction and the second direction, d.sub.1 in sub-regions varies according to a third rule, and/or d.sub.2 in sub-regions varies according to a fourth rule. The third rule includes a first sub-rule and a second sub-rule, the first sub-rule includes m.sub.1 different values of d.sub.1, the second sub-rule includes m.sub.2 different values of d.sub.1, and a sub-region including the first sub-rule and a sub-region including the second sub-rule are alternately disposed; the fourth rule includes a third sub-rule and a fourth sub-rule, the third sub-rule includes n.sub.1 different values of d.sub.2, the fourth sub-rule includes n.sub.2 different values of d.sub.2, and a sub-region including the third sub-rule and a sub-region including the fourth sub-rule are alternately disposed, where m.sub.1≥2, m.sub.2≥2, n.sub.1≥2, n.sub.2≥2, and each of m.sub.1, m.sub.2, n.sub.1 and n.sub.2 is an integer.
[0051] In a specific implementation, d.sub.1 may be designed to vary in the first direction according to the third rule, vary in the second direction according to the third rule, or vary in both the first direction and the second direction according to the third rule (which may be different specific rules in the first direction and the second direction); d.sub.2 may be designed to vary in the first direction according to the fourth rule, vary in the second direction according to the fourth rule, or vary in both the first direction and the second direction according to the fourth rule (which may be different specific rules in the first direction and the second direction); d.sub.1 may be designed to vary in the first direction according to the third rule, and at the same time, d.sub.2 may be designed to vary in the first direction or the second direction according to the fourth rule or vary in both the first direction and the second direction according to the fourth rule; or d.sub.1 may be designed to vary in the second direction according to the third rule, and at the same time, d.sub.2 may be designed to vary in the first direction or the second direction according to the fourth rule or vary in both the first direction and the second direction according to the fourth rule. The third rule and the fourth rule may be designed according to an actual situation and are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. In an embodiment, in the first sub-rule, the m.sub.1 different values of d.sub.1 are in an arithmetic progression, and in the second sub-rule, the m.sub.2 different values of d.sub.1 are in an arithmetic progression; and/or in the third sub-rule, the n.sub.1 different values of d.sub.2 are in an arithmetic progression, and in the fourth sub-rule, the n.sub.2 different values of d.sub.2 are in an arithmetic progression. That is, only the first sub-rule and the second sub-rule may be set, only the third sub-rule and the fourth sub-rule may be set, or all of the first sub-rule, the second sub-rule, the third sub-rule and the fourth sub-rule may be set. The sub-rules are alternated, which can improve the randomness of the light-transmissive regions and the effect of preventing the diffraction without increasing a design difficulty too much.
[0052] In an embodiment, m.sub.1=m.sub.2=n.sub.1=n.sub.2=3.
[0053] In other embodiments, the values of d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 may vary according to other rules, or may vary randomly within specified ranges according to no particular rules, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0054] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the light-transmissive regions have the same area. The light-transmissive regions have the same area, which can ensure that the light-transmissive regions have substantially the same transmittance, ensure that the light-transmissive regions are distributed according to the maximum area, and improve the light transmission uniformity of the transparent display region.
[0055] In some embodiments, the transparent display region may occupy a relatively large area (for example, the entire display region is the transparent display region). In this case, the number of sub-regions is relatively large. However, limited by the conditions of the non-light-transmissive regions that light-emitting elements and pixel circuits need to be disposed, the values of d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 are limited and the completely random distribution of the light-transmissive regions cannot be achieved. At this time, the transparent display region may be divided into a plurality of blocks, and the light-transmissive regions in each block are arranged in the same manner, or only some light-transmissive regions in each block are arranged in a different manner. In an embodiment, the transparent display region includes at least two blocks, and each of the at least two blocks includes (x×y) sub-regions arranged in an array; and in the same block, at least two sub-regions have at least one of different d.sub.1 or different d.sub.2, where x≥2, y≥2, and each of x and y is an integer.
[0056] At least one of d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 is different for at least two sub-regions, which is designed in the same manner as that in the preceding embodiments and is not described in detail here. In an embodiment,
[0057] In an embodiment, the transparent display region includes one type of block, where d.sub.1 in a sub-region in a j-th column of an i-th row is the same for all the at least two blocks, and d.sub.2 in the sub-region in the j-th column of the i-th row is the same for all the at least two blocks, where i≤x, j≤y, and each of i and j is an integer.
[0058] Exemplarily,
[0059] In an embodiment, the transparent display region includes at least two types of block, and each of the two types of block includes at least one sub-region in which at least one of d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 is different.
[0060]
[0061] In an embodiment, x=y; in the same block, d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 in the same sub-region have a combination which form x types of different sub-regions; sub-regions in the same row include the x types of different sub-regions, and two adjacent sub-regions are of different types; and sub-regions in the same column include the x types of different sub-regions, and two adjacent sub-regions are of different types.
[0062] It is to be understood that one combination of d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 corresponds to one manner of disposing the light-transmissive region, that is, one type of sub-region. In the present embodiment, since the sub-regions have the same shape, when at least one of d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 is different, the relative position of the light-transmissive region in the sub-region is different. When the transparent display region is designed, the positions of the light-transmissive regions in the sub-regions need to be distributed relatively uniformly to improve the light transmission uniformity of the light-transmissive regions. In an embodiment, x=y=3.
[0063] In an embodiment, the transparent display region includes at least (x! x(x−1)!) types of block, where x! denotes a factorial of x, and (x−1)! denotes a factorial of (x−1).
[0064] For a block including (xxx) sub-regions, when d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 have a combination, for example, when x=2, two types of light-transmissive region may be disposed in the sub-region in the first column of the first row. Since two adjacent sub-regions in the same row or the same column are of different types, when the sub-region in the first column of the first row is determined, the block has a determined arrangement, that is, when x=2, the transparent display region includes two types of block. When x=3, three types of light-transmissive region may be disposed in the first column of the first row. Since the sub-region in the second column of the first row cannot be the same as the sub-region in the first column of the first row, two types of light-transmissive region may be disposed in the second column of the first row, one type of light-transmissive region may be disposed in the third column of the first row, two types of light-transmissive region may be disposed in the first column of the second row, and one type of light-transmissive region may be disposed in the first column of the third row. According to the manner in which the light-transmissive region in the first row and the first column is disposed, there are 3×2×1×2×1=12 types of block. When x>3, x, x−1, x−2, . . . and 1 type of light-transmissive region may be disposed in the first column of the first row to the x-th column of the first row, respectively, and x−1, x−2, . . . and 1 type of light-transmissive region may be disposed in the first column of the second row to the first column of the x-th row, respectively. A plurality of types of light-transmissive region may also be disposed in the second column of the second row, and so on. It can be seen that at least (x!×(x−1)!) types of block are included.
[0065]
[0066] In a specific implementation, the shape of the sub-region and the shape of the light-transmissive region may also be a rounded rectangle or the like, and the first side of the light-transmissive region is approximately parallel to the first side of the sub-region. Since the light-transmissive region 212 is disposed inside the sub-region 21 and the non-light-transmissive region 211 needs to be reserved in the sub-region 21 to dispose the light-emitting element, a driver circuit, various wires and the like, the light-transmissive region 212 is smaller than the sub-region 21, that is, d.sub.11<d.sub.21, and d.sub.12<d.sub.22. Referring to
[0067] In the present embodiment, the light-transmissive region is disposed in the sub-region and each sub-region has certain transparency. In the case where the sub-region has a determined area, the larger the area of the light-transmissive region, the higher the transmittance of the sub-region, and the smaller the area of the light-transmissive region, the lower the transmittance of the sub-region. The light-transmissive regions need to be arranged randomly to a certain extent, that is, d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 need to have preset variation ranges. For this purpose, an actual light-transmissive region needs to have a smaller area than a largest light-transmissive region that can be theoretically designed. As can be seen from
[0068] In an embodiment, a maximum difference value between d.sub.1 in two sub-regions is d.sub.1max, a maximum difference value between d.sub.2 in two sub-regions is d.sub.2max, and the light-transmissive region in the sub-region has a maximum size of D.sub.1 in the first direction and a maximum size of D.sub.2 in the second direction, where d.sub.1max<0.1×D.sub.2, and d.sub.2max<0.1×D.sub.1.
[0069] It is to be understood that since the transparent display region is also used for display, that is, the light-emitting element, the related driver circuit, circuit wires and the like need to be provided in the non-light-transmissive region in the sub-region, in an actual design, the maximum difference d.sub.1max (the maximum difference value between d.sub.1 in two sub-regions) of the variation of d.sub.1 needs to be less than d.sub.22−d.sub.12, the maximum size D.sub.2 of the light-transmissive region in the second direction needs to be less than d.sub.22, the maximum difference d.sub.2max (the maximum difference value between d.sub.2 in two sub-regions) of the variation of d.sub.2 needs to be less than d.sub.21−d.sub.11, the maximum size D.sub.1 of the light-transmissive region in the first direction needs to be less than d.sub.21, and d.sub.1max<0.1×D.sub.2, and d.sub.2max<0.1×D.sub.1, that is
which can ensure that the transmittance after the light-transmissive regions are randomly distributed is greater than 81% of the transmittance before the light-transmissive regions are randomly distributed.
[0070] In an embodiment, an absolute value of a minimum non-zero difference value between d.sub.1 in two different sub-regions is d.sub.1min, and an absolute value of a minimum non-zero difference value between d.sub.2 in two different sub-regions is d.sub.2min, where d.sub.1min/d.sub.22>1%, and d.sub.2min/d.sub.21>1%.
[0071] That d.sub.1min/d.sub.22>1% and d.sub.2min/d.sub.21>1% can ensure the variations of d.sub.1 and d.sub.2, the randomness of the design of the light-transmissive regions and the good effect of reducing the diffraction.
[0072] In an embodiment, the light-transmissive regions have the same area. The transparent display region includes at least two blocks, and each of the at least two blocks includes 4×4 sub-regions, and each of the at least two blocks includes a first type of sub-region, a second type of sub-region, a third type of sub-region and a fourth type of sub-region, where d.sub.1=d.sub.12/2 and d.sub.2=d.sub.21−d.sub.11/2 in the first type of sub-region, d.sub.1=d.sub.12/2 and d.sub.2=d.sub.11/2 in the second type of sub-region, d.sub.1=d.sub.22−d.sub.12/2 and d.sub.2=d.sub.21−d.sub.11/2 in the third type of sub-region, and d.sub.1=d.sub.22−d.sub.12/2 and d.sub.2=d.sub.11/2 in the fourth type of sub-region. Any two adjacent sub-regions in the same row are of different types, and any two adjacent sub-regions in the same column are of different types.
[0073] In an embodiment,
[0074] Similarly, six types of sub-region may also be included. In an embodiment, the light-transmissive regions have the same area. The transparent display region includes at least two blocks, each of the at least two blocks includes 6×6 sub-regions, and each of the at least two blocks includes a fifth type of sub-region, a sixth type of sub-region, a seventh type of sub-region, an eighth type of sub-region, a ninth type of sub-region and a tenth type of sub-region, where d.sub.1=d.sub.12/2 and d.sub.2=d.sub.21−d.sub.11/2 in the fifth type of sub-region, d.sub.1=d.sub.12/2 and d.sub.2=d.sub.21/2 in the sixth type of sub-region, d.sub.1=d.sub.12/2 and d.sub.2=d.sub.11/2 in the seventh type of sub-region, d.sub.1=d.sub.22−d.sub.12/2 and d.sub.2=d.sub.21−d.sub.11/2 in the eighth type of sub-region, d.sub.1=d.sub.22−d.sub.12/2 and d.sub.2=d.sub.21/2 in the ninth type of sub-region, and d.sub.1=d.sub.22−d.sub.12/2 and d.sub.2=d.sub.11/2 in the tenth type of sub-region. Any two adjacent sub-regions in the same row are of different types, and any two adjacent sub-regions in the same column are of different types.
[0075] In an embodiment,
[0076] It is to be noted that the above types of sub-region are only exemplary examples. In other embodiments, one block may include another number of different types of sub-region. Different combinations of d.sub.1 and d.sub.2 may form more different types of sub-region, and which may be designed according to an actual situation in a specific implementation.
[0077]
[0078] The photosensor may be a camera, and the display panel may achieve the full screen display of the under-screen camera. In a specific implementation, the display panel may include one type of light-emitting element, such as the OLED or the micro LED. Alternatively, two types of light-emitting element may be disposed, for example, the conventional display region 30 includes the OLED, and the transparent display region 20 includes the micro LED with a smaller volume, which are conducive to the design of the light-transmissive regions.
[0079]
[0080] In other embodiments, a first film may be disposed in the transparent display region. At least one of the following cases exists for different light-transmissive regions: (1) the first film has different thicknesses; (2) the first film is made of different materials; (3) the first film includes at least two sub-films which are stacked, and the thicknesses of the at least two sub-films are at different ratios and an optical path length or a phase difference of external light can be adjusted when the external light is transmitted through the light-transmissive regions, which further reduces the diffraction.
[0081] The first film has different thicknesses, which may include cases described below. In a first case, the first film is a single film, where the single film has different thicknesses in different light-transmissive regions, may be made through a halftone masking process for different thicknesses in different light-transmissive regions, and may be made of an organic material. In a second case, the first film includes a plurality of films which are stacked, where the first film includes different numbers of films in different light-transmissive regions and the first film has different thicknesses in different light-transmissive regions, and the plurality of films contained in the first film may be made of an inorganic material and an organic material. In a third case, the first film includes both a single film having different thicknesses in different light-transmissive regions and a plurality of films, where the first film includes different numbers of films in different light-transmissive regions.
[0082] The first film is made of different materials, which may include cases described below. In a first case, the first film is made of different inorganic materials in different light-transmissive regions, for example, the first film is made of silicon oxide and silicon nitride. In a second case, the first film is made of an organic material and an inorganic material in different light-transmissive regions.
[0083] The first film includes at least two sub-films which are stacked, and the thicknesses of the at least two sub-films are at different ratios. In an embodiment, the first film includes a first sub-film and a second sub-film which are stacked, and the light-transmissive region includes a first light-transmissive region and a second light-transmissive region, where a thickness of the first sub-film in the first light-transmissive region is greater than a thickness of the first sub-film in the second light-transmissive region, and a thickness of the second sub-film in the first light-transmissive region is less than a thickness of the second sub-film in the second light-transmissive region.
