In an implementation, “light transmittance” refers to an ability of light to pass through a medium and is represented by a radio (e.g., percentage) of a luminous flux passing through a transparent or translucent body to an incident luminous flux. Light transmittance can indicate the efficiency of an electronic device 1 in light transmission (see
In an implementation, the light guide plate 110 is made of optical grade acrylic or polycarbonate (PC) sheet, and has high light transmittance and low power consumption.
The backlight module 100 further includes a second light guide region 112. The second light guide region 112 is connected with the first light guide region 111. The second light guide region 112 is disposed directly opposite the second display region 200b.

In another implementation, the second light guide region 112 includes rest regions of the light guide plate 110 except the first light guide region 111 and the first through hole 110A. The second light guide region 112 is free from interference of the first through hole 110A, and thus light transmission in the second light guide region 112 is relatively uniform, that is, the brightness presented in the second light guide region 112 is relatively coordinated.
The backlight module 100 further includes a light source 120. The light source 120 is located on a side of the light guide plate 110. The side of the light guide plate 110 close to the light source 120 serves as the light incident surface 110a of the light guide plate 110. A side of the light guide plate 110 from which the light exits servers as the light outgoing surface 110b of the light guide plate 110.
In an implementation, the light guide plate 110 is a wedge-shaped plate, also called an inclined plate. Viewed from the light incident surface 110a, one side of the light guide plate 110 is relatively thick and the other side is relatively thin. The light guide plate 110 is in a wedge-shape or triangular shape. It is helpful to reduce light loss of the light source 120, improve light utilization efficiency, improve brightness and uniformity of the light source 120, and optimize light distribution.
At least a part of the multiple first pixels 310 includes the red sub-pixel 311 (R sub-pixel), the green sub-pixel 312 (G sub-pixel), the blue sub-pixel 313 (B sub-pixel), and the white sub-pixel 314 (W sub-pixel). The white sub-pixel 314 is capable of emitting white light. Multiple first pixels 310 arranged in a matrix are disposed in the first display region 200a. At least a part of the first pixels 310 includes the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, the blue sub-pixel 313, and the white sub-pixel 314, which is possible to improve brightness of the first display region 200a and compensate brightness of the first light guide region 111 effectively, thereby enhancing the brightness of the first light guide region 111 and improving overall display effect of the screen assembly 10.
In an implementation, each of the multiple first pixels 310 includes the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, the blue sub-pixel 313, and the white sub-pixel 314 arranged in sequence. Sub-pixels of the same color in two adjacent first pixels 310 are aligned with each other.
When sub-pixels of the same color in two adjacent rows or two columns of the first pixels 310 are in one-to-one correspondence, it allows the sub-pixels to be distributed more uniform. As a consequence, when the first pixels 310 are applied in the display panel 200, the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, the blue sub-pixel 313, and the white sub-pixel 314 in this arrangement are uniformly distributed in the first pixel 310, such that the brightness presented by each red sub-pixel 311, each green sub-pixel 312, each blue sub-pixel 313, and each white sub-pixel 314 with respect to the display panel 200 is uniform. On the other hand, if the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, the blue sub-pixel 313, and the white sub-pixel 314 are not arranged uniformly, it results unequal spacing among the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, the blue sub-pixel 313, and the white sub-pixel 314, which causes that the brightness presented by each red sub-pixel 311, each green sub-pixel 312, each blue sub-pixel 313, and each white sub-pixel 314 with respect to the display panel 200 will be un-uniform, and the display panel 200 will appear jagged edges and color fringing. As a consequence, when the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, the blue sub-pixel 313, and the white sub-pixel 314 in this arrangement are applied in the display panel 200, an image displayed by the display panel 200 is not prone to jagged edges and color fringing, improving the display quality of the image.
The screen assembly 10 provided herein includes the backlight module 100 and the display panel 200. The backlight module 100 includes the light guide plate 110. The light guide plate 110 includes the light incident surface 110a and the light outgoing surface 110b connected with the light incident surface 110a. The light guide plate 110 defines the first through hole 110A extending through the light outgoing surface 110b. The display panel 200 includes the first display region 200a and the second display region 200b connected with the first display region 200a. The first display region 200a is disposed facing the first light guide region 111. The first light guide region 111 is located between the inner wall surface 110e of the first through hole 110A and the surface of the light guide plate 110 away from the light incident surface 110a. Since the first light guide region 111 is located on a side of the first through hole 110A away from the light incident surface 110a, the amount of light in the first light guide region 111 is low. In this arrangement, it is possible to achieve brightness compensation for the first light guide region 111 through the first display region 200a, such that the brightness of the first light guide region 111 is improved, and the overall display effect of the screen assembly 10 is improved.
In an implementation, an array arrangement may refer to a matrix arrangement, or an arrangement in which rows and columns are arranged according to a certain rule.
In an implementation, the second pixel 320 includes the red sub-pixel 311 (R sub-pixel), the green sub-pixel 312 (G sub-pixel), and the blue sub-pixel 313 (B sub-pixel). The first light guide region 111 is disposed facing the first display region 200a, and the second light guide region 112 is disposed facing the second display region 200b. Due to interference of the first through hole 110A, the first light guide region 111 will receive less light from the light source 120 than the second light guide region 112. As a consequence, the first light guide region 111 needs more light compensation to improve its brightness. According to the technical solution of the disclosure, the first pixels 310 are arranged in the first display region 200a and at least a part of the first pixels 310 includes the red sub-pixel 311 (R sub-pixel), the green sub-pixel 312 (G sub-pixel), the blue sub-pixel 313 (B sub-pixel), and the white sub-pixel 314 (W sub-pixel), and the second pixels 320 are arranged in the second display region 200b and each of the second pixels 320 includes the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, and the blue sub-pixel 313, such that the second pixel region 320a has light transmittance lower than the first pixel region 310a. Thus, more brightness compensation can be provided for the first light guide region 111 through the first display region 200a, which is helpful to improve the brightness of the first light guide region 111, thereby improving the overall display effect of the screen assembly 10.
In an implementation, when the white sub-pixel 314 is in contact with the blue sub-pixel 313, it is possible to drive the white sub-pixel 314 and the blue sub-pixel 313 via the same driving circuit, such that the driving circuit for driving the white sub-pixel 314 and the blue sub-pixel 313 is simplified. In consequence, the white sub-pixel 314 can share the data line with the blue sub-pixel 313, thereby realizing multiplexing of the data line and reducing the design complexity of the driving circuit.
It is noted that, in other implementations, the white sub-pixel 314 may also be in contact with the red sub-pixel 311, or the white sub-pixel 314 may also be in contact with the green sub-pixel 312, both of which can simplify the complexity of the driving circuit to a certain extent.
In this implementation, by arranging the black matrix 350 between the white sub-pixel 314 and the blue sub-pixel 313, mutual interference in light emission between the white sub-pixel 314 and the blue sub-pixel 313 can be prevented, which is helpful to improve the display effect of the screen assembly 10 and avoid the occurrence of cross-color.
It is noted that, in other implementations, the white sub-pixel 314 is spaced apart from the red sub-pixel 311. The black matrix 350 is arranged between the white sub-pixel 314 and the red sub-pixel 311. Alternatively or additionally, the white sub-pixel 314 is spaced apart from the green sub-pixel 312. The black matrix 350 is arranged between the white sub-pixel 314 and the green sub-pixel 312. On the one hand, it is possible to enhance the brightness of the first display region 200a, and then enhance the brightness of the first light guide region 111, thereby improving the overall display effect of the screen assembly 10. On the other hand, it is possible to avoid cross-color, which helps to further improve the display effect of the screen assembly 10.
Among the sub-pixels, the green sub-pixel 312 (G sub-pixel) has the highest luminous efficiency, the red sub-pixel 311 (R sub-pixel) has the second highest luminous efficiency, and the blue sub-pixel 313 (B sub-pixel) has the lowest luminous efficiency. For this reason, in this technical solution, the second white pixel 314b has an area smaller than the first white pixel 314a, and the first white pixel 314a has an area smaller than the third white pixel 314c. That is, in the white sub-pixel 314, the second white pixel 314b has the smallest area, the third white pixel 314c has the largest area, and the first white pixel 314a has area larger than the second white pixel 314b and smaller than the third white pixel 314c. In this implementation, the area of each of the first white pixel 314a, the second white pixel 314b, and the third white pixel 314c is set to correspond to the luminous efficiency of each of the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, and the blue sub-pixel 313, such that a difference in the luminous brightness among the first white pixel 314a, the second white pixel 314b, and the third white pixel 314c falls within a preset range. The area of each sub-pixel is not determined arbitrarily, on the contrary, the area is set to match a setting of the luminous efficiency of each sub-pixel. It is noted that, when the area of each sub-pixel matches the luminous efficiency thereof, and the difference in the luminous brightness among the first white pixel 314a, the second white pixel 314b, and the third white pixel 314c falls within the preset range, it is considered that requirements are met. As such, it is possible to allow the first white pixel 314a, the second white pixel 314b, and the third white pixel 314c disposed in the first pixel region 310a to have relatively coordinated brightness, which is helpful to increase a resolution of the first pixel region 310a and increase a resolution of the first display region 200a, such that a clearer image can be displayed by the first display region 200a.
In an implementation, when the first white pixel 314a is in close contact with the red sub-pixel 311, the second white pixel 314b is in close contact with the green sub-pixel 312, and the third white pixel 314c is in close contact with the blue sub-pixel 313, the first white pixel 314a and the red sub-pixel 311 can share a data line, the second white pixel 314b and the green sub-pixel 312 can share a data line, and the third white pixel 314c and the blue sub-pixel 313 can share a data line, such that multiplexing of data lines can be realized, which helps to simplify the driving circuit.
In this technical solution, in two adjacent rows or columns of pixels, the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, and the blue sub-pixel 313 can form a pixel together, thereby realizing function multiplexing of each sub-pixel and improving display efficiency of pixels. In an implementation, when the first white pixel 314a is located on the surface of the red sub-pixel 311 close to the green sub-pixel 312, the second white pixel 314b is located on the surface of the green sub-pixel 312 close to the red sub-pixel 311, the third white pixel 314c is located on the surface of the blue sub-pixel 313 close to the mth row of sub-pixels, it is helpful to allow a more uniform local distribution of the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, the blue sub-pixel 313, the first white pixel 314a, the second white pixel 314b, and the third white pixel 314c, which in turn enables the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, the blue sub-pixel 313, the first white pixel 314a, the second white pixel 314b, and the third white pixel 314c to provide more uniform light emission. When pixels in above arrangement are applied to the display panel 200, the image displayed by the display panel 200 is not prone to jagged edges and color fringing, thereby improving the display quality of the image.
In an implementation, the metal traces 410a may be scanning lines or data lines, and may also be clock signal lines.
In an implementation, the red filter unit 421 is a red color resistance, the green filter unit 422 is a green color resistance, and the blue filter unit 423 is a blue color resistance. The black matrix 350 is arranged between each two adjacent filter units. The black matrixes 350 are used to cover the metal traces 410a, and to block light crosstalk between two adjacent filter units, in this way, color collision between adjacent sub-pixels, which will affect the display effect of the screen assembly 10, can be avoided.
The sealing member 650 has a cylindrical structure. There is no liquid crystal molecule arranged inside the sealing member 650, that is, no liquid crystal molecule is arranged in the second through hole 650A. Since the second through hole 650A is directly opposite the first through hole 110A, the liquid crystal molecules are prevented from entering the second through hole 650A to affect the display effect of the display panel 200, which is helpful to improve the display effect of the screen assembly 10.
In an implementation, the first display region 200a includes a first central region 2001 and a first edge region 2002 surrounding the first central region 2001. The first pixel region 310a in the first central region 2001 has light transmittance greater than the first pixel region 310a in the first edge region 2002.
In an implementation, the first central region 2001 is directly opposite a central portion of the first light guide region 111. The central portion of the first light guide region 111 has a brightness lower than an edge portion of the first light guide region 111. In other words, the edge portion of the first light guide region 111 will receive more light from the light source 120 than the central portion of the first light guide region 111. That is, compared to the edge portion of the first light guide region 111, the central portion of the first guide region 111 needs more light compensation from the first display region 200a, so as to enhance the brightness of the central portion of the first light guide region 111.
In an implementation, when the first central region 2001 has an area equal to the first edge region 2002, the first central region 2001 has more first pixel regions 310a than the first edge region 2002. When the first central region 2001 has an area different to the first edge region 2002, a distance between each adjacent two of the multiple first pixel regions 310a in the first central region 2001 is smaller than a distance between each adjacent two of the multiple first pixel regions 310a in the first edge region 2002, such that each of the first pixel regions 310a in the first central region 2001 has light transmittance greater than each of the first pixel regions 310a in the first edge region 2002. When each of the first pixel regions 310a in the first central region 2001 has the light transmittance greater than each of the first pixel regions 310a in the first edge region 2002, it is possible to effectively enhance the brightness of the first central region 2001. The first central region 2001 is directly opposite the central portion of the first light guide region 111, and thus it is possible to compensate brightness of the central portion of the first light guide region 111, so as to improve the brightness of the central portion of the first guide region 111, and allow the brightness of the screen assembly 10 to be further coordinated, thereby improving the display effect of the screen assembly 10.

The backlight module 100 further includes the second light guide region 112. The second light guide region 112 is connected with the first light guide region 111. The second light guide region 112 is disposed directly opposite the second display region 200b. The second light guide region 112 is located between the inner wall surface 110e and the light incident surface 110a. In another implementation, the second light guide region 112 includes rest regions of the light guide plate 110 except the first light guide region 111 and the first through hole 110A. The second light guide region 112 is free from interference of the first through hole 110A, and thus light transmission in the second light guide region 112 is relatively uniform, that is, the brightness presented in the second light guide region 112 is relatively coordinated.
The light source 120 is located on a side of the light guide plate 110. The side of the light guide plate 110 close to the light source 120 serves as the light incident surface 110a of the light guide plate 110. A side of the light guide plate 110 from which the light exits servers as the light outgoing surface 110b of the light guide plate 110.
In an implementation, the light guide plate 110 is a wedge-shaped plate, also called an inclined plate. Viewed from the light incident surface 110a, one side of the light guide plate 110 is relatively thick and the other side is relatively thin. The light guide plate 110 is in a wedge-shape or triangular shape. It is helpful to reduce light loss of the light source 120, improve light utilization efficiency, improve brightness and uniformity of the light source 120, and optimize light distribution.
At least a part of the multiple first pixels 310 includes the red sub-pixel 311 (R sub-pixel), the green sub-pixel 312 (G sub-pixel), the blue sub-pixel 313 (B sub-pixel), and the white sub-pixel 314 (W sub-pixel). The white sub-pixel 314 is capable of emitting white light. Multiple first pixels 310 arranged in a matrix are disposed in the first display region 200a. At least a part of the first pixels 310 includes the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, the blue sub-pixel 313, and the white sub-pixel 314, which is possible to improve the brightness of the first display region 200a and compensate the brightness of the first light guide region 111 effectively, thereby enhancing the brightness of the first light guide region 111 and improving the overall display effect of the screen assembly 10.
In an implementation, each of the multiple first pixels 310 includes the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, the blue sub-pixel 313, and the white sub-pixel 314 arranged in sequence. Sub-pixels of the same color in two adjacent first pixels 310 are aligned with each other.
When sub-pixels of the same color in two adjacent rows or two columns of the first pixels 310 are in one-to-one correspondence, it allows the sub-pixels to be distributed more uniform. As a consequence, when the first pixels 310 are applied in the display panel 200, the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, the blue sub-pixel 313, and the white sub-pixel 314 in this arrangement are uniformly distributed in the first pixel 310, such that the brightness presented by each red sub-pixel 311, each green sub-pixel 312, each blue sub-pixel 313, and each white sub-pixel 314 with respect to the display panel 200 is uniform. On the other hand, if the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, the blue sub-pixel 313, and the white sub-pixel 314 are not arranged uniformly, it results unequal spacing among the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, the blue sub-pixel 313, and the white sub-pixel 314, which causes that the brightness presented by each red sub-pixel 311, each green sub-pixel 312, each blue sub-pixel 313, and each white sub-pixel 314 with respect to the display panel 200 will be un-uniform, and the display panel 200 will appear jagged edges and color fringing. As a consequence, when the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, the blue sub-pixel 313, and the white sub-pixel 314 in this arrangement are applied in the display panel 200, the image displayed by the display panel 200 is not prone to jagged edges and color fringing, improving the display quality of the image.
Referring to
In an implementation, an array arrangement may refer to a matrix arrangement, or an arrangement in which rows and columns are arranged according to a certain rule.
In an implementation, the second pixel 320 includes the red sub-pixel 311 (R sub-pixel), the green sub-pixel 312 (G sub-pixel), and the blue sub-pixel 313 (B sub-pixel). The first light guide region 111 is disposed facing the first display region 200a, and the second light guide region 112 is disposed facing the second display region 200b. Due to interference of the first through hole 110A, the first light guide region 111 will receive less light from the light source 120 than the second light guide region 112. As a consequence, the first light guide region 111 needs more light compensation to improve its brightness. According to the technical solution of the disclosure, the first pixels 310 are disposed in the first display region 200a and at least a part of the first pixels 310 includes the red sub-pixel 311 (R sub-pixel), the green sub-pixel 312 (G sub-pixel), the blue sub-pixel 313 (B sub-pixel), and the white sub-pixel 314 (W sub-pixel), and the second pixels 320 are disposed in the second display region 200b and each of the second pixels 320 includes the red sub-pixel 311, the green sub-pixel 312, and the blue sub-pixel 313, such that the second pixel region 320a has light transmittance lower than the first pixel region 310a. Thus, more brightness compensation can be provided for the first light guide region 111 through the first display region 200a, which is helpful to enhance the brightness of the first light guide region 111, thereby improving the overall display effect of the screen assembly 10.
Referring to
In an implementation, when the white sub-pixel 314 is in contact with the blue sub-pixel 313, it is possible to drive the white sub-pixel 314 and the blue sub-pixel 313 via the same driving circuit, such that the driving circuit for driving the white sub-pixel 314 and the blue sub-pixel 313 is simplified. In consequence, the white sub-pixel 314 can share the data line with the blue sub-pixel 313, thereby realizing the multiplexing of the data line and reducing the design of complexity of the driving circuit.
It is noted that, in other implementations, the white sub-pixel 314 may also be in contact with the red sub-pixel 311, or the white sub-pixel 314 may also be in contact with the green sub-pixel 312, both of which can simplify the complexity of the driving circuit to a certain extent.
Referring to
In this implementation, by arranging the black matrix 350 between the white sub-pixel 314 and the blue sub-pixel 313, mutual interference in light emission between the white sub-pixel 314 and the blue sub-pixel 313 can be prevented, which is helpful to improve the display effect of the screen assembly 10 and avoid the occurrence of cross-color.
It is noted that, in other implementations, the white sub-pixel 314 is spaced apart from the red sub-pixel 311. The black matrix 350 is arranged between the white sub-pixel 314 and the red sub-pixel 311. Alternatively or additionally, the white sub-pixel 314 is spaced apart from the green sub-pixel 312. The black matrix 350 is arranged between the white sub-pixel 314 and the green sub-pixel 312. On the one hand, it is possible to enhance the brightness of the first display region 200a, and then enhance the brightness of the first light guide region 111, thereby improving the overall display effect of the screen assembly 10. On the other hand, it is possible to avoid the cross-color, which helps to further improve the display effect of the screen assembly 10.
