In order to describe embodiments of the present disclosure or technical solutions in the prior art more clearly, accompanying drawings required for describing the embodiments or the prior art will be simply explained as below. Apparently, the accompanying drawings for the following description are only some embodiments of the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art also could derive other accompanying drawings from these accompanying drawings without making a creative work.
A clear and complete description of technical solutions in embodiments of the present disclosure will be made as below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments derived by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without making a creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display panel. As shown in
Since each of the pixel units comprises the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel, and the first sub-pixels of the adjacent pixel units are adjacent to one another, two sub-pixels respectively located in two adjacent pixel units and having the same color can adjoin each other. Since there is no color crosstalk between two sub-pixels adjoining each other and having the same color, no black matrix may be disposed at a corresponding position between the two sub-pixels adjoining each other and having the same color. In this way, an area of a light-transmissible portion of the display panel and thus an area of an effective display region of the display panel can be increased, thereby raising an aperture ratio of the display panel.
In addition, the third sub-pixels 1013 of ones, adjacent to one another in the arrangement direction X, of the plurality of pixel units 101 are adjacent to one another, and no black matrix 11 is disposed at a corresponding position between the adjacent third sub-pixels 1013. As a result, no black matrix 11 is disposed between the adjacent first sub-pixels 1011 and between the adjacent third sub-pixels 1013, so that an area of a light-transmissible portion of the display panel is further increased, thereby raising an aperture ratio of the display panel.
It should be noted that the sub-pixels 10 forming the pixel units 101 are bounded by a plurality of gate lines (G1, G2 . . . Gm) and a plurality of data lines (D1, D2 . . . Dn) respectively extending in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction and crossing each other, and the black matrix 11 is disposed at a position corresponding to the gate lines (G1, G2 . . . Gm) and the data lines (D1, D2 . . . Dn) as shown in
In addition, “no black matrix 11 is disposed at a corresponding position between the adjacent first sub-pixels 1011” may mean that the black matrix 11 between the adjacent first sub-pixels 1011 is directly removed so that light can be transmitted between the adjacent first sub-pixels 1011, and thus a transparent region is formed between the adjacent first sub-pixels 1011, thereby increasing an area of a light-transmissible portion of the display panel 100.
Or, after the black matrix 11 between the adjacent first sub-pixels 1011 is removed, color filter areas of the adjacent same sub-pixels 10 may also be added so that the added color filter areas of the sub-pixels 10 covers the position where the black matrix 11 is otherwise disposed. In this way, an amount of transmitted part of white light from a backlight source can be decreased compared with the solution in which the black matrix 11 is directly removed, so that a contrast of a picture displayed by the display panel 100 can be raised while the area of the light-transmissible portion of the display panel 100 is increased.
In addition, an arrangement manner in which no black matrix 11 is disposed at a corresponding position between the third sub-pixels 1013 adjacent in the arrangement direction is the same as that in which no black matrix 11 is disposed at a corresponding position between the adjacent first sub-pixels 1011, and is no longer described herein for the sake of brevity.
In addition, as shown in
In addition, in order to further raise a contrast of a picture displayed by the display panel 100, as shown in
The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display panel comprising a plurality of pixel units arranged in a matrix, and each of the pixel units comprises a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel and a third sub-pixel arranged in an arrangement direction, the first sub-pixels of ones, adjacent to one another in the arrangement direction of the sub-pixels, of the plurality of pixel units are adjacent to one another, and no black matrix is disposed at a corresponding position between the adjacent first sub-pixels.
Since each of the pixel units comprises the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel, and the first sub-pixels of the adjacent pixel units are adjacent to one another, two sub-pixels respectively located in two adjacent pixel units and having the same color can adjoin each other. Since there is no color crosstalk between two sub-pixels adjoining each other and having the same color, no black matrix may be disposed at a corresponding position between the two sub-pixels adjoining each other and having the same color. In this way, an area of a light-transmissible portion of the display panel and thus an area of an effective display region of the display panel can be increased, thereby raising an aperture ratio of the display panel.
Furthermore, generally the pixel unit 101 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure is constituted by three sub-pixels 10, for example, a red sub-pixel (R), a green sub-pixel (G) and a blue sub-pixel (B), as shown in
In addition, as an example, in one pixel unit 101, the first sub-pixel 1011 is a blue sub-pixel (B), the second sub-pixel 1012 is a green sub-pixel (G), and the third sub-pixel 1013 is a red sub-pixel (R). The green sub-pixel (G) has a best light transmittance and is brightest, the red sub-pixel (R) has a lower light transmittance than the green sub-pixel (G), and the blue sub-pixel (B) has a relatively minimal light transmittance and is relatively dark. Therefore, if two adjacent sub-pixels 10 having the same color are green sub-pixels (G), positions corresponding to the green sub-pixels (G) are brighter, so that the pixel units 101 of the display panel 100 have a non-uniform display luminance.
Therefore, according to an example of the present disclosure, the first sub-pixel 1011 is a blue sub-pixel (B). In this way, two adjacent first sub-pixels 1011 having the same color can be blue sub-pixels (B), so that a luminance of a pixel region corresponding to the two adjacent blue sub-pixels (B) is increased. Thereby the pixel units 101 of the display panel 100 have a more uniform display luminance to improve a display effect.
Of course, in addition to use of the blue sub-pixels (B) having relatively dark brightness as all of the adjacent same first sub-pixels 1011, the adjacent third sub-pixels 1013 may be set to be the red sub-pixels (R), so that a luminance of a pixel region corresponding to the adjacent red sub-pixels (R) and a luminance of a pixel region corresponding to the two adjacent blue sub-pixels (B) can be increased. A uniformity of the luminance of the pixel units 101 of the display panel 100 is further improved, thereby improving the display effect.
It is to be noted herein that when the pixel unit 101 comprises a red sub-pixel (R), a green sub-pixel (G), a blue sub-pixel (B) and a white sub-pixel (W), the adjacent first sub-pixels 1011 having the same color may be the blue sub-pixels (B) and/or the adjacent third sub-pixels 1011 having the same color may be the red sub-pixels (R).
In addition, when the pixel unit 101 comprises a cyan sub-pixel, a magenta sub-pixel and a yellow sub-pixel, they may be set according to light transmittances of these sub-pixels by referring to the arrangement of the red sub-pixels (R), the green sub-pixels (G) and the blue sub-pixels (B), and are no longer described herein for the sake of brevity.
In addition, as shown in
The data lines Dn have a certain light blocking effect. In order to further improve a light transmittance of the display panel 100, in an example of the present disclosure, the data lines Dn are not disposed at the corresponding position between the two adjacent same sub-pixels 10, so that no black matrix 11 is disposed between the two adjacent pixel units 101.
Specifically, the data line Dn for each of the two adjacent sub-pixels 10 of the adjacent pixel units 101 and 101′ is disposed at a corresponding position between the each sub-pixel 10 of the corresponding pixel unit 101 or 101′ and another sub-pixel 10 adjacent to the each sub-pixel 10.
The solution in which the data lines Dn are not disposed between the two adjacent same sub-pixels 10 will be described in detail as below. The following embodiments are all described by an example in which the first sub-pixel 1011 is a blue sub-pixel (B), the second sub-pixel 1012 is a green sub-pixel (G), and the third sub-pixel 1013 is a red sub-pixel (R).
For example, as shown in
In addition, for example, as shown in
Of course, the foregoing is only an exemplary illustration of the arrangement of the data lines Dn, and other arrangements of the data lines are no longer described herein for the sake of brevity so long as it can be ensured that the data lines Dn are not disposed between the two adjacent same sub-pixels 10.
In addition, the black matrix 11 is disposed at a position corresponding to the data lines Dn in the following manners. As shown in
Or, as shown in
In addition, it is also to be noted that even if the color filter areas of the sub-pixels 10 are increased, there should be a certain spacing C between the pixel electrodes 13 of the two adjacent same sub-pixels 10 as shown in
For example, when the display panel 100 is a twist nematic (TN) type display panel, the display panel 100 formed by assembling the color filter substrate assembly 202 and the array substrate assembly 201 shown in
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a spacing C between the planar pixel electrodes 13 of the two adjacent same sub-pixels 10 is in the range of 4.5 μm-5.5 μm. Specifically, when the spacing C is greater than 5.5 μm, a spacing between the sub-pixels is excessively large to decrease areas of the sub-pixels themselves, thereby reducing a display effect. When the spacing C is less than 4.5 μm, requirements on a manufacturing process are relatively high so that production cost is increased.
In addition, for example, as shown in
Of course, the first electrode 151 may also be the common electrode while the second electrode 152 is the pixel electrode. In this case, a spacing C between the planar pixel electrodes (i.e. the second electrodes 152) of the two adjacent same sub-pixels 10 may be in the range of 4.5 μm-5.5 μm. In this way, when the spacing C is greater than 5.5 μm, a spacing between the sub-pixels is excessively large to decrease areas of the sub-pixels themselves, thereby reducing a display effect. When the spacing C is less than 4.5 μm, requirements on a manufacturing process are relatively high so that production cost is increased.
In addition, as shown in
As will be noted, the ADS type display panel has the first electrode 151 and the second electrode 152 that is composed of the plurality of strip-shaped sub-electrodes 1521, and the second electrode 152 is disposed in a different layer from that where the first electrode 151 is located. Therefore, as shown in
Embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a display apparatus comprising the abovementioned display panel 100, and the display apparatus has the same configuration and advantageous effects as the display panel 100 according to the above embodiments. The configuration and advantageous effects of the display panel 100 have been described in the above embodiments in detail and thus are no longer described for the sake of brevity.
It is to be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the display apparatus may comprise a liquid crystal display panel. For example, the display panel may be applied to any products or parts having displaying function, such as a liquid crystal display, a liquid crystal TV, a digital frame, a mobile telephone or a tablet computer.
Embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a method of manufacturing a display panel, and the method comprises: forming, on a substrate, a plurality of pixel units 101 arranged in a matrix, wherein each of the plurality of pixel units 101 comprises a first sub-pixel 1011, a second sub-pixel 1012 and a third sub-pixel 1013 arranged in an arrangement direction, and in the arrangement direction of the sub-pixels 10, an arrangement sequence of the sub-pixels 10 of one of two adjacent pixel units 101 is opposite to an arrangement sequence of the sub-pixels 10 of the other of the two adjacent pixel units 101, and no black matrix 11 is disposed between the two adjacent pixel units 101.
The method is a specific method of manufacturing the abovementioned display panel 100, and has the same advantageous effects as the display panel 100 according to the above embodiments. The advantageous effects of the display panel 100 have been described in the above embodiments in detail and thus are no longer described for the sake of brevity.
