The photosensitive element 120 and the fingerprint recognition module 130 are disposed on the non-display surface NS of the display panel 110. The front projection of the photosensitive element 120 on the display surface DS and the front projection of the fingerprint identification module 130 on the display surface DS are both located in the first display area DA1, wherein the front projection of the photosensitive element 120 on the display surface DS covers at least one light transmission area TA.
According to the display module 100 of the embodiment of the invention, the light transmittance of the first display area DA1 is greater than the light transmittance of the second display area DA2, and both the front projection of the photosensitive element 120 on the display surface DS and the front projection of the fingerprint identification module 130 on the display surface DS are located in the first display area DA 1. The first display area DA1 includes a plurality of light-transmitting areas TA, and the front projection of the photosensitive element 120 on the display surface DS covers at least one light-transmitting area TA, so that the photosensitive element 120 can receive the optical information transmitted through the first light-transmitting area TA, and implement a corresponding photosensitive function. The display module 100 can display pictures in the first display area DA1, can also realize fingerprint identification and sensitization functions, and improves the integration of the display module 100, so that the high-screen-ratio comprehensive screen design is conveniently realized. In the display module 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the photosensitive element 120 and the fingerprint identification module 130 correspond to the first display area DA1, so that the display panel 110 is designed to be different from the conventional area in a larger number of areas on the display panel 110, the manufacturing difficulty is reduced, and the display unevenness is suppressed to a certain extent.
The photosensitive element 120 includes at least one of an image capturing element, an infrared light sensor, and an ambient light sensor.

In some embodiments, the optical fingerprint recognition module may not include a fingerprint recognition light source, but may also use at least a portion of the display panel 110 as a fingerprint recognition light source. In the fingerprint identification mode, the finger is in the first display area DA1, the light generated by the fingerprint identification light source irradiates the finger, the finger reflects the light, and the reflected light irradiates the optical fingerprint sensor through the light transmission area TA. The optical fingerprint sensor can convert optical signals into electric signals, wherein light rays reflected by the ridge part and the groove part of the fingerprint are respectively converted into different electric signals correspondingly, so that the optical fingerprint sensor can acquire picture information of the ridge part and the groove part of the fingerprint, and the acquisition of the fingerprint information is realized.
Optionally, the fingerprint recognition module 130 is a capacitive fingerprint recognition module, and the capacitive fingerprint recognition module may be a plate capacitive fingerprint recognition device, or may be other capacitive recognition devices such as a pressure-sensitive capacitive fingerprint recognition device. Taking the fingerprint recognition module 130 of the present embodiment as an example, the flat capacitive fingerprint recognition device includes capacitance plates of a plurality of capacitors arranged in an array. In the fingerprint identification mode, a finger is coupled with a plurality of capacitance polar plates in a first display area DA1, so that the capacitance value of a corresponding capacitor is changed, the influence of ridge parts and groove parts of the fingerprint on the capacitance value of the capacitor is different, and the capacitance fingerprint identification module can acquire information of the ridge parts and the groove parts of the fingerprint so as to describe the graph of the fingerprint, thereby realizing acquisition of fingerprint information.
Alternatively, the fingerprint recognition module 130 is an ultrasonic fingerprint recognition module, and the ultrasonic fingerprint recognition module may transmit ultrasonic waves to the display surface DS side of the display panel, and receive and analyze the reflected ultrasonic waves. In the fingerprint recognition mode, the ultrasonic fingerprint recognition module emits ultrasonic waves to the display surface DS side of the display panel 110, the ultrasonic waves are reflected at the finger surface, and the reflected ultrasonic waves are received by the ultrasonic fingerprint recognition module. The ultrasonic fingerprint identification module can acquire information of the ridge part and the groove part of the fingerprint, and thus fingerprint information is acquired.
In some embodiments, the fingerprint recognition module 130 is a capacitive fingerprint recognition module or an ultrasonic fingerprint recognition module, and in the fingerprint recognition mode, the first display area DA1 is configured to be in a non-display state, that is, the first display area DA1 does not need to emit light, so that the problem that the performance of the light-emitting elements of the first display area DA1 is easy to be attenuated due to the fact that the light-emitting time of the first display area DA1 is longer than that of the second display area DA2 is avoided, and the overall display brightness uniformity and the service life of the display panel 110 are improved.
As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, the display panel 110 includes a plurality of first sub-pixels SP1 and a plurality of second sub-pixels SP2. The plurality of first sub-pixels SP1 are disposed in the first display area DA1, i.e. the first sub-pixels SP1 are arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns in the first display area DA 1. The plurality of second sub-pixel SP2 arrays are disposed in the second display area DA2. As described above, the first display area DA1 includes the plurality of pixel areas PA arranged in an array, wherein the pixel areas PA are used to arrange the first sub-pixels SP1, and specifically, each pixel area PA of the first display area DA1 may be provided with at least one first sub-pixel SP1.

Alternatively, the display panel 110 may include a plurality of pixel circuits, each of which is electrically connected to a corresponding sub-pixel to drive the corresponding sub-pixel to emit light. The first sub-pixel SP1 and the second sub-pixel SP2 may be respectively divided into a plurality of types according to different colors to realize color display. In one example, the first sub-pixel SP1 on the display panel 110 includes a red first sub-pixel, a green first sub-pixel, and a blue first sub-pixel, and the second sub-pixel SP2 also includes a red second sub-pixel, a green second sub-pixel, and a blue second sub-pixel.
In some embodiments, the pixel density of the first sub-pixel SP1 is smaller than that of the second sub-pixel SP2, so that the duty ratio of the pixel area PA in the first display area DA1 can be reduced to a certain extent, and accordingly, the duty ratio of the light transmitting area TA in the first display area DA1 can be increased, so that the light transmittance of the display panel 110 in the first display area DA1 is increased. The improvement of the light transmittance of the first display area DA1 is beneficial to improving the photosensitive image quality of the photosensitive elements 120 arranged corresponding to the first display area DA 1.
