In order to make the technical problems to be solved, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent, a detailed description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
In an AMOLED display apparatus, in order to save a space occupied by a driving part, improve a screen-to-body ratio and achieve a full screen display effect, it is necessary to bend a part of a driving region of a display panel to a back side of the display panel during an assembly, and a driving member is arranged in the driving region bent to the back side of the display panel. In the AMOLED display apparatus of the related art, the driving member includes a multiplexer (MUX) for applying a voltage control signal to the display panel.
A voltage signal inputted into the MUX alternates between a high voltage and a low voltage, and the alternating voltage signal may form electromagnetic radiation. A circuit board is arranged inside the display apparatus and opposite to the display panel, and an overall antenna is arranged in the circuit board. The electromagnetic radiation generated by the MUX may generate electromagnetic interference to the overall antenna, so as to affect a usage effect of the overall antenna.
In order to solve the problem that, in the display apparatus of the related art, the electromagnetic interference is caused when a part of the driving region of the display panel is bent to the back side of the display panel, and the alternating voltage signal of the MUX arranged in the driving region generates electromagnetic radiation. The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display apparatus, a non-display region on a flexible panel of the display apparatus includes a back sub-region bent to the back side of the display region, a multiplexer (MUX) is arranged in the back sub-region, and a shielding electrode layer is arranged in the back sub-region, and covers the MUX, so as to shield the electromagnetic interference generated by the MUX.
The display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
In some embodiments, the display apparatus further includes a power supply line located on the side of the MUX 200 away from the back sub-region 122 and connected to the shielding electrode layer 300.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the power supply line is connected to the shielding electrode layer 300 and used to apply a voltage to the shielding electrode layer 300, so that the shielding electrode layer 300 has a stable potential. Since the shielding electrode layer 300 is arranged on the side of the MUX 200 away from the back sub-region 122, and the orthographic projection of the MUX 200 onto the plane where the shielding electrode layer 300 is located is within the shielding electrode layer 300, the shielding electrode layer 300 covers the MUX 200 on the side of the MUX 200 away from the back sub-region 122, and the shielding electrode layer 300 having a stable potential absorbs and reflects the electromagnetic interference generated by the MUX 200. Thus, the electromagnetic interference generated by the MUX 200 is confined to a side of the shielding electrode layer 300 toward the MUX 200, and prevented from diffusing to a side of the shielding electrode layer 300 away from the MUX 200.
In one embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the shielding electrode layer 300 is located between the MUX 200 and the antenna unit 500, the electromagnetic interference generated by the MUX 200 may be prevented from diffusing to the antenna unit 500 by using the shielding electrode layer 300. Therefore, in the display apparatus according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is able to solve the problem that the alternating voltage signal of the MUX generates electromagnetic radiation and causes electromagnetic interference to the antenna.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, optionally, an orthographic projection of the antenna unit 500 onto the plane where the shielding electrode layer 300 is located is within the shielding electrode layer 300.
Based on this arrangement, the electromagnetic interference caused to the antenna by electromagnetic radiation generated from the alternating voltage signal of the MUX 200 can be effectively avoided by the shielding electrode layer 300.
Optionally, the bearing structure 400 for bearing the antenna unit 500 may be a flexible circuit board, or may be a support frame or the like specifically for fixing the antenna unit 500.
In the display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a display function device is formed on the flexible panel 100 for realizing a display function, and a region where the display function device is located on the flexible panel 100 is correspondingly formed as the display region 110. On the flexible panel 100, a region where the display functional device is not provided is the non-display region 120, and a driving assembly and a chip on film 600 are arranged in the non-display region 120 located at one end of the display region 110.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
Optionally, the MUX 200 includes a plurality of MUX units, each MUX unit includes 2 or more thin film transistors TFT. In a case that each MUX unit includes two TFTs, source electrodes of the two TFTs are connected to a same data signal line inputted by the display driving chip, and drain electrodes are connected to the display region through two columns of different data signal lines. Each TFT is turned on or off through an inputted gate signal, so as to achieve the signal distribution.
Based on the MUX 200 having the above structure, in each MUX unit, the gate signal is at a low level when the TFT is in an on state and at a high level when the TFT is in an off state, and within one frame, the gate signal is switched between the high level and the low level according to a certain frequency. A change in potential may be referred to as a change in current and charge, and a time-varying current may generate electromagnetic radiation, so as to cause the problem of the electromagnetic interference generated by the MUX 200.
