An aspect of the present disclosure provides a display panel. FIG. 1 is a top view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 2 is a partial enlarged schematic view of the Region Q1 in FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.


The display panel 100 has a first display region DA1, a second display region DA2, a third display region DA3, and a first fan-out region FA1. The third display region DA3 is located on at least one side of the first display region DA1 in a first direction X. The second display region DA2 at least partially surrounds the first display region DA1 and the third display region DA3. A light transmittance of the first display region DA1 is greater than a light transmittance of the second display region DA2. The first fan-out region FA1 is located between the third display region DA3 and the second display region DA2, and between the first display region DA1 and the second display region DA2 in a second direction Y. The second direction Y intersects with the first direction X. In some embodiments, the display panel 100 further has a non-display region NA. The non-display region NA at least partially surrounds the first display region DA1, the second display region DA2 and the third display region DA3.


The display panel 100 further includes first light-emitting elements 111 and first pixel circuits 121. The first light-emitting elements 111 are arranged in the first display region DA1. The first pixel circuits 121 are located in the third display region DA3. The first pixel circuit 121 includes a first connection point P1. The first connection point P1 is electrically connected to at least one first light-emitting element 111 through a first connection line CL1. Each first pixel circuit 121 includes a first preset transistor. The first preset transistor includes a first channel C1. In an embodiment, in at least one first pixel circuit 121 adjacent to the first fan-out region FA1, the first connection point P1 is located at a side of the first channel C1 facing away from the first fan-out region FA1.


In the display panel 100 of the present disclosure, in at least one first pixel circuit 121 adjacent to the first fan-out region FA1, the first connection point P1 is located at a side of the first channel C1 facing away from the first fan-out region FA1, such that the first connection line CL1 corresponding to the connection point extends at a side of the first pixel circuit 121 facing away from the first fan-out region FA1, thereby reducing a space of the first fan-out region FA1 occupied by the first connection line CL1, and thus facilitating the arrangement of other signal lines in the first fan-out region FA1 and alleviating a problem of insufficient wiring space in the first fan-out region FA1.


In an embodiment, the first connection line CL1 may be a light-transmitting conductive connection line made of indium tin oxide (Indium Tin Oxide, ITO), or indium zinc oxide (Indium Zinc Oxide, IZO), and the like. In order to balance the light transmittance of the first display region DA1 with a resistance of the first connection line CL1, a portion of the first connection line CL1 located in the first display region DA1 can be made of a light-transmitting conductive material, and a portion of the first connection line CL1 located in the third display region DA3 can be made of a metal material with lower resistivity, which will not be elaborated herein. In addition, in order to alleviate the diffraction phenomenon of the first display region DA1, a portion of the first connection line CL1 located in the first display region DA1 may adopt a curved trace, and the first light-emitting element 111 located in the first display region DA1 may be designed to be circular or a circle-like shape. Herein, the first connection point P1 is a connection point that can be directly connected to the first connection line CL1, and the driving circuit is transmitted to the first light-emitting element 111 through the first connection point P1 and the first connection line CL1.


The embodiments of the present disclosure are described by taking the display panel 100 as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel as an example, that is, in this example, the first light-emitting element 111 is an OLED light-emitting element. It can be understood that the display panel 100 in the present disclosure may also be other self-light-emitting display panel similar to an OLED display panel that can be driven in an active matrix (AM) manner.


In this embodiment, the term “pixel circuit” refers to a smallest repeating unit of a circuit structure for driving a corresponding light-emitting element to emit light. The pixel circuit may be a 2T1C circuit, a 7T1C circuit, a 7T2C circuit, and the like. Herein, the “2T1C circuit” refers to a pixel circuit that includes two thin film transistors (T) and one capacitor (C). The “7T1C circuit” and “7T2C circuit” have similar meanings. The pixel circuit includes a driving transistor. In this embodiment, the first preset transistor is a driving transistor of the first pixel circuit 121.


In an embodiment, the display panel 100 further includes second light-emitting elements 112 and second pixel circuits 122. The second pixel circuits 122 are located in the second display region DA2. Each second pixel circuit 122 is electrically connected to at least one second light-emitting element 112 correspondingly.


The display panel 100 may further include first signal lines 140 that are connected to the first pixel circuits 121 and the second pixel circuits 122. At least one first signal line 140 includes a first signal sub-line 141, a second signal sub-line 142 and a third signal sub-line 143. The first signal sub-line 141 extends along the second direction Y in the third display region DA3, and is electrically connected to the first pixel circuits 121. The second signal sub-line 142 extends along the second direction Y in the second display region DA2, and is electrically connected to the second pixel circuits 122. The third signal sub-line 143 extends in the first fan-out region FA1 and is electrically connected to the first signal sub-line 141 and the second signal sub-line 142.


In this embodiment, in at least one first pixel circuit 121 adjacent to the first fan-out region FA1, the first connection point P1 is located at a side of the first channel C1 facing away from the first fan-out region FA1, such that a space of the first fan-out region FA1 occupied by the first connection line CL1 is reduced, thereby facilitating arranging the third signal sub-line 143 of the first signal line 140 in the first fan-out region FA1.


The first signal line 140 includes at least one of a data line, a reference voltage signal line, or a power supply line. The third signal sub-line 143 of the first signal line 140 extends in the first fan-out region FA1 and is electrically connected to the first signal sub-line 141 and the second signal sub-line 142, such that a row of first pixel circuits 121 in the third display region DA3 and a column of second pixel circuits 122 in the second display region DA2 share one first signal line 140. For example, the first signal line 140 is a data line configured to transmit a data signal for controlling a gray scale of the light-emitting element, to achieve supplying of a data signal of the first pixel circuit 121. The first fan-out region FA1 has more free wiring space, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the third signal sub-line 143 in the first fan-out region FA1.


In some embodiments, the first pixel circuits 121 are arranged in multiple rows along the second direction Y. In each row R1 of the first pixel circuits, the first pixel circuits 121 are arranged along the first direction X. In an embodiment, in at least one row R1 of the first pixel circuits adjacent to the first fan-out region FA1, the first connection point P1 of each first pixel circuit 121 is located at a side of the first channel C1 facing away from the first fan-out region FA1. In an example, one or two rows R1 of the first pixel circuits adjacent to the first fan-out region FA1 may be configured as described above in terms of the first connection point P1. In another example, all rows R1 of the first pixel circuits can be configured as described above in terms of the first connection point P1. That is, in this embodiment, the first connection point P1 of each first pixel circuit 121 is located at a side of the first channel C1 facing away from the first fan-out region FA1. When at least one row R1 of the first pixel circuits adjacent to the first fan-out region FA1 is configured as described above, the first connection line CL1 corresponding to the at least one row R1 of the first pixel circuits adjacent to the row R1 of the first pixel circuit is located at a side of the row R1 of the first pixel circuits facing away from the first fan-out region FA1, thereby reducing a space of the first fan-out region FA1 occupied by the first connection line CL1 to a greater extent, and thus alleviating a problem of insufficient wiring space in the first fan-out region FA1.


It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, in each row R1 of the first pixel circuits, the first pixel circuits 121 are arranged along the first direction X. In an actual display panel, other circuit structure may be included in the same row as at least one row R1 of the first pixel circuits. For example, the display panel 100 further includes a third pixel circuit in the same row as at least one row R1 of the first pixel circuits. The third pixel circuit is configured to drive a third light-emitting element located in the third display region DA3 to emit light. In another example, the display panel 100 further includes a dummy pixel circuit parallel to at least one row R1 of the first pixel circuits. The dummy pixel circuit may be a pixel circuit whose circuit structure is the same as or similar to that of the first pixel circuit 121 and cannot make the light-emitting element emit light, for example, the pixel circuit lacks a certain layer or structure, or the pixel circuit is not electrically connected to the light-emitting element. In some embodiments, the display panel may include a dummy light-emitting element in the same row as at least one row R1 of the first pixel circuits, for example, an anode, a pixel definition layer opening, a light-emitting material, and a cathode are provided, but no corresponding pixel circuit is provided; or, one or more of an anode, a pixel definition layer opening, a light-emitting material, and a cathode are not provided. When the display panel 100 includes a third pixel circuit and/or a dummy pixel circuit and/or a dummy light-emitting element in the same row as at least one row R1 of the first pixel circuits, the third pixel circuit and/or the dummy pixel circuit may be interposed among the first pixel circuits 121, or may also be located at a side of multiple first pixel circuits 121.


In an embodiment, the first pixel circuit 121 includes a first node N1 configured to transmit a driving current to the first light-emitting element 111. The first node N1 is located at a side of the first channel C1.



FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an equivalent circuit of a first pixel circuit in a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; and FIG. 4 is a structural schematic diagram showing a first pixel circuit in a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.


In an embodiment, for example, the first pixel circuit 121 is a 7T1C circuit, that is, the first pixel circuit 121 includes seven transistors M1 to M7 and a storage capacitor Cst. A reference voltage signal line YL is used to provide a reference voltage signal Vref for resetting a preset node Nc of the first pixel circuit 121. For a current row of the first pixel circuits 121, a first scan line SL1_1 is configured to provide a first scan signal S1, a second scan line SL2 is configured to provide a second scan signal S2. The first scan lines SL1_2 in a next row can be connected to the first scan lines SL1_2 in the current row, such that the current row can be provided with the second scan signal S2, and the next row of the first pixel circuits 121 can be provided with the first scan signal S1. A light-emitting control line EML is configured to provide a light-emitting control signal Emit. In some embodiments, the display panel 100 may further include a data line DL configured to provide a data signal Data, and a power line VL configured to provide a power supply signal PVDD. In an embodiment, the transistor M4 is a double-gate transistor, and thus includes two sub-transistors. A part of the semiconductor layer connected between the two sub-transistors may be doped with impurities to have conductivity. In an embodiment, the first pixel circuit 121 further includes a shielding line (or a shielding structure) PL. The shielding line PL may be in the same layer as the reference voltage line signal line YL and may be electrically connected to the power supply line VL so as to have a constant voltage. An orthographic projection of the shielding line PL on the semiconductor layer shields at least part of the semiconductor layer between the two sub-transistors of the transistor M4. Since the shielding line PL has a constant voltage, signal interference to the transistor M4 by other signal lines can be reduced.


The first pixel circuit 121 may be configured to include at least one semiconductor layer and multiple conductive layers, e.g., the conductive layer is a metal layer. In an embodiment, the first pixel circuit 121 at least includes a semiconductor layer, a first metal layer, a capacitor metal layer and a second metal layer. In some embodiments, the first pixel circuit 121 may further include other conductive layers, such as a third metal layer and the like.



FIG. 5 is a structural schematic diagram showing a semiconductor layer of a first pixel circuit in a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; FIG. 6 is a structural schematic diagram showing a first metal layer of a first pixel circuit in a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; FIG. 7 is a structural schematic diagram showing a capacitive metal layer of a first pixel circuit in a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; and FIG. 8 is a structural schematic diagram showing a second metal layer and a first connection point of a first pixel circuit in a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In addition to the second metal layer, some structural layers related to the first connection point are also shown in FIG. 8.


As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 8, the transistors M1 to M7 of the first pixel circuit 121 include a driving transistor M3, a first light-emitting control transistor M1 and a second light-emitting control transistor M6. The driving transistor M3 can transmit a driving current to the first light-emitting element 111. The gate electrode of the driving transistor M3 is connected to the aforementioned preset node Nc, and the preset node Nc is connected to an electrode plate of the storage capacitor Cst. Each of the gate electrode of the first light-emitting control transistor M1 and the gate electrode of the second light-emitting control transistor M6 is connected to the light-emitting control line EML. The first light-emitting control transistor M1 is connected between the power supply line VL and the driving transistor M3. The second light-emitting control transistor M6 is connected between the driving transistor M3 and the anode of the first light-emitting element 111. The first node N1 is located between the second light-emitting control transistor M6 and the anode of the first light-emitting element 111.


In an embodiment, in the storage capacitor Cst, the electrode plate electrically connected to the power supply line VL is electrically connected to the electrode plate of the adjacent first pixel circuit 121 in the same layer, to reduce a voltage drop of the power supply line VL.


As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in an embodiment, the first preset transistor is a driving transistor M3 of the first pixel circuit 121, and a first channel C1 is the channel of the driving transistor M3 of the first pixel circuit 121. As shown in FIG. 4, in an embodiment, the first node N1 is at a position of a first through-hole when the second light-emitting control transistor M6 is connected to the anode of the first light-emitting element 111. As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 8, in an embodiment, the first node N1 is at a position of a through-hole that connects the second metal layer to the semiconductor layer when the second light-emitting control transistor M6 is connected to the anode of the first light-emitting element 111. The through-hole where the first node N1 is located can be electrically connected to the anode of the first light-emitting element 111 through other conductive structures such as a conductive structure located in the third metal layer.


As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, in an embodiment, in at least one first pixel circuit 121, the first node N1 is located at a side of the first channel C1 facing the first fan-out region FA1, and the first connection point P1 is electrically connected to the first node N1 through the second connection line CL2. According to the display panel 100 of the present embodiment, when the first node N1 is located at a side of the first channel C1 facing the first fan-out region FA1, the first node N1 is electrically connected to the first connection point P1 at a side facing away from the first fan-out region FA1 through the second connection line CL2, such that a position occupied by the first connection line CL1 can be changed without significantly changing a structure of the original first pixel circuit 121 and a sequence of the signal lines. The first connection lines CL1 originally required to be arranged at a side facing the first fan-out region FA1 is changed to be arranged at a side facing away from the first fan-out region FA1. Therefore, the display panel 100 realizes a space avoidance of the first connection line CL1 in the first fan-out region FA1 with a small change in the circuit structure, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the first signal line 140 in the first fan-out region FA1.

Referring to FIG. 15 to FIG. 17, in an embodiment, the second preset transistor is the driving transistor M3 of the second pixel circuit 122, and the second channel C2 is the channel of the driving transistor M3 of the second pixel circuit 122.

In at least one third pixel circuit 123 adjacent to the first fan-out region FA1, the third connection point P3 is located at a side of the third channel C3 facing away from the first fan-out region FA1. When the third pixel circuit 123 and the third light-emitting element 113 need to be connected by connection lines, the third connection point P3 is located at a side of the third channel C3 facing away from the first fan-out region FA1, such that a space of the first fan-out region FA1 occupied by the connection line that is connected to the third pixel circuit 123 can be reduced, thereby further improving the flexibility of other wirings in the first fan-out region FA1.


In some embodiments, multiple first pixel circuits 121 and multiple third pixel circuits 123 are arranged in multiple rows along the second direction Y. In each row R2 of the first pixel circuits and the third pixel circuits, multiple first pixel circuits 121 and multiple third pixel circuits 123 are arranged along the first direction X. In an embodiment, in at least one row R2 of the first pixel circuits and the third pixel circuits that is adjacent to the first fan-out region FA1, the first connection point P1 of each first pixel circuit 121 is located at a side of the first channel C1 facing away from the first fan-out region FA1, and the third connection point P3 of each third pixel circuit 123 is located at a side of the third channel C3 facing away from the first fan-out region FA1, thereby reducing a space of the first fan-out region FA1 occupied by the first connection line CL1 and a connection line connected to the third pixel circuit 123 to a greater extent, and thus alleviating a problem of insufficient wiring space in the first fan-out region FA1.


In an actual display panel, the display panel may include other circuit structures in the same row as at least one row R2 of first pixel circuits and the third pixel circuits, for example, the display panel 100 further includes a dummy pixel circuit located in the same row as at least one row R2 of the first pixel circuits and the third pixel circuits.

The third pixel circuit 123 at least includes a semiconductor layer, a first metal layer, a capacitor metal layer, and a second metal layer. FIG. 20 is a structural schematic diagram showing a semiconductor layer of a third pixel circuit in a display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.


In an embodiment, the third pixel circuit 123 is a 7T1C circuit, which includes seven transistors M1 to M7 and a storage capacitor Cst.

FIG. 21 is a top view of a display panel according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 22, FIG. 23 and FIG. 24 are partial enlarged schematic views of a region Q3 shown in FIG. 21. In an embodiment, the first pixel circuit 121 includes a first node N1 configured to transmit a driving current to the first light-emitting element 111, and the first node N1 is located at a side of the first channel C1. In at least one first pixel circuit 121, the first connection point P1 coincides with the first node N1. In this case, the first node N1 is already located at a side of the first channel C1 facing away from the first fan-out region FA1, thereby reducing a space of the first fan-out region FA1 occupied by the first connection line CL1, and thus facilitating the arrangement of the third signal sub-lines 143 of the first signal line 140 in the first fan-out region FA1. In this embodiment, it is no longer necessary to provide the second connection line CL2, such that a signal influence caused by overlapping of the second connection line CL2 with the wires in the first pixel circuit 121 can be avoided, thereby reducing a possibility of uneven display of the display panel 100.


In an embodiment, an equivalent circuit of the first pixel circuit 121 is similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 25 is a schematic diagram showing a circuit structure of a first pixel circuit in a display panel according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. In an embodiment, a circuit structure of the first pixel circuit 121 is essentially equivalent to a mirror of a circuit structure of the embodiment shown in FIG. 12, wherein these two are mirror structures in a direction perpendicular to the second direction Y.


In an embodiment, an equivalent circuit and a circuit structure of the second pixel circuit 122 are similar to the embodiments shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, and will not be elaborated herein.

In an embodiment, a circuit structure of the first pixel circuit 121 is essentially equivalent to a mirror of a circuit structure of the second pixel circuit 122, wherein these two are mirror structures in a direction perpendicular to the second direction Y.


As shown in FIG. 24, in some embodiments, the display panel 100 further includes a second fan-out region FA2. The second fan-out region FA2 is located between the third display region DA3 and the first display region DA1 in the first direction X. The display panel 100 further includes second signal lines 150. At least one second signal line 150 includes a fourth signal sub-line 151, a fifth signal sub-line 152 and a sixth signal sub-line 153. The fourth signal sub-line 151 extends along the first direction X in the third display region DA3, and is electrically connected to the first pixel circuits 121. The fifth signal sub-line 152 extends along the first direction X in the second display region DA2, and is electrically connected to the second pixel circuits 122. The sixth signal sub-line 153 extends in the second fan-out region FA2 and is electrically connected to the first signal sub-line 141 and the second signal sub-line 142.


A row of pixel circuits (including the first pixel circuit 121 and/or the third pixel circuit 123) in the third display region DA3 and a row of second pixel circuits 122 in the second display region DA2 share one second signal line 140, thereby achieving signal supply of the first pixel circuit 121 and/or the third pixel circuit 123 in the third display region DA3.


In some embodiments, each first pixel circuit 121 is electrically connected to N second signal lines 150, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2. Among N second signal lines 150 corresponding to each first pixel circuit 121, the arrangement order of N fourth signal sub-lines 151 along the second direction Y is opposite to the arrangement order of N fifth signal sub-lines 152 along the second direction Y. The second signal lines 150 include at least one of a scan line, a reference voltage signal line, or a light-emitting control line. For example, each first pixel circuit 121 corresponds to four second signal lines 150, i.e., the first scan line SL1, the second scan line SL2, the light-emitting control line EML and the reference voltage signal line YL. By setting the second fan-out region FA2, N fourth signal sub-lines 151 and N fifth signal sub-lines 152 can achieve wire changing by the through-hole by the corresponding N sixth signal sub-lines 153 in the second fan-out region FA2, to achieve changing of the arrangement order in the second direction Y. In an example, a row of the first pixel circuits 121 and the third pixel circuits 123 and a corresponding row of the second pixel circuits 122 share four second signal lines 150, and the four second signal lines 150 have different arrangement orders in different display regions. In the third display region DA3, from top to bottom along the second direction Y, the four fourth signal sub-lines 151 are the first scan line SL1, the reference voltage signal line YL, the light-emitting control line EML, and the second scan line SL2 in sequence.

In some embodiments, the display panel 100 includes wiring layers. Each wiring layer is provided with a patterned wire structure that may be made of a metal material or a semiconductor material.

In an embodiment, a width-to-length of the driving transistor M3 of the first pixel circuit 121 is different from a width-to-length of the driving transistor M3 of the second pixel circuit 122. In an embodiment, a width-to-length of the driving transistor M3 of the first pixel circuit 121 is larger than a width-to-length pf the driving transistor M3 of the second pixel circuit 122.


The larger the width-to-length of the driving transistor M3 of the first pixel circuit 121 is, the stronger the driving capability is. When each first pixel circuit 121 needs to be connected to multiple first light-emitting elements 111 of a same color, the working efficiency and performance of the first pixel circuit 121 can be ensured, thereby achieving the display effect. In some other embodiments, when the number of the second light-emitting elements 112 correspondingly connected to the second pixel circuit 122 is larger, the width-to-length of the driving transistor M3 of the second pixel circuit 122 can also be increased, which will not be elaborated herein. The second pixel circuit 123 can also adjust the above parameters correspondingly according to the number of the third light-emitting elements 113 connected thereto, which will not be elaborated herein.


As shown in FIG. 27 and FIG. 28, in some embodiments, the display panel 100 further includes multiple second signal lines 150. At least one second signal line 150 includes a fourth signal sub-line 151, a fifth signal sub-line 152 and a sixth signal sub-line 153.

Among the N second signal lines 150 corresponding to each first pixel circuit 121, the arrangement order of N fourth signal sub-lines 151 along the second direction Y is opposite to the arrangement order of N fifth signal sub-lines 152 along the second direction Y.


By setting the second fan-out region FA2, N fourth signal sub-lines 151 and N fifth signal sub-lines 152 can achieve wire changing by the through-hole by the corresponding N sixth signal sub-lines 153 in the second fan-out region FA2, to achieve changing of the arrangement order in the second direction Y. In an example, a row of the first pixel circuits 121 and the third pixel circuits 123 and a corresponding row of the second pixel circuits 122 share multiple second signal lines 150. The multiple second signal lines 150 have different arrangement orders in different display regions.

In an embodiment, multiple fourth signal sub-lines 151 and multiple fifth signal sub-lines 152 are arranged in the first metal layer and the capacitor metal layer. Among multiple sixth signal sub-lines 153, at least a part of each sixth signal sub-line 153 is located in the second metal layer, so that the fourth signal sub-line 151 and the corresponding fifth signal sub-line 152 are electrically connected by wire changing. In some other embodiments, for example, the display panel further includes a third metal layer, at least a part of each sixth signal sub-line 153 may be located in the third metal layer, or the sixth signal sub-line 153 may be separately located in the second metal layer and the third metal layer. By configuring at least a part of the sixth signal sub-line 153 to be in a layer different from the fourth signal sub-line 151 and the fifth signal sub-line 152, it can avoid signal interference between the sixth signal sub-lines 153 transmitting different signals, thereby achieving change of the arrangement order of N second signal lines 150 along the second direction Y.
