Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a first shift register provided by the invention, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a second shift register provided by the invention, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 3 to fig. 5, the shift register 30 includes at least one first transistor T1 and a plurality of second transistors T2, the size of the first transistor T1 is larger than that of the second transistor T2, and in the same shift register 30, the first transistor T1 is located between the display area AA and the second transistor T2 closest to the display area AA. It should be noted that fig. 3 and fig. 4 exemplarily show that the shift register 30 includes one first transistor T1 and four second transistors T2, in other embodiments of the present invention, the shift register 30 may further include other numbers of first transistors T1 and second transistors T2, and the shift register 30 may further include a capacitor, which is not described herein again.
The shift register 30 includes a first shift register 31 and a second shift register 32. In the first direction X, the distance between two adjacent second transistors T2a in the first shift register 31 is d1, the distance between two adjacent second transistors T2b in the second shift register 32 is d2, and d1 > d2, that is, in the first direction X, the distance between two adjacent second transistors T2a in the first shift register 31 is greater than the distance between two adjacent second transistors T2b in the second shift register 32, and by reducing the distance between two adjacent second transistors T2b in the second shift register 32 in the first direction X, the length of the second shift register 32 in the first direction X is reduced.
In the second direction Y, a pitch between two adjacent second transistors T2a in the first shift register 31 is larger than a pitch between two adjacent second transistors T2b in the second shift register 32, wherein the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect. Optionally, the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular. By reducing the pitch between two adjacent second transistors T2b in the second shift register 32 in the second direction Y, the width of the second shift register 32 in the second direction Y is reduced.
It should be noted that the present embodiment exemplarily shows that in the first direction X, the distance between two adjacent second transistors T2a in the first shift register 31 is greater than the distance between two adjacent second transistors T2b in the second shift register 32, and in the second direction Y, the distance between two adjacent second transistors T2a in the first shift register 31 is greater than the distance between two adjacent second transistors T2b in the second shift register 32. In other embodiments of the present invention, it may also be adopted in the display panel that a distance between two adjacent second transistors T2a in the first shift register 31 is greater than a distance between two adjacent second transistors T2b in the second shift register 32 in the first direction X, or a distance between two adjacent second transistors T2a in the first shift register 31 is greater than a distance between two adjacent second transistors T2b in the second shift register 32 in the second direction Y.
The display panel provided by the embodiment is a specially-shaped display panel, that is, the shape of the display panel is not rectangular. The non-display area NA includes a bundled area NA2, at least one shaped non-display area NA1 disposed adjacent to the bundled area NA2, the shaped non-display area NA1 is located at a corner area of the display panel, and the shaped non-display area NA1 does not extend in either the first direction X or the second direction Y. The display panel further includes a driver chip 40, and the driver chip 40 is bound to the binding area NA 2. The shaped non-display area NA1 is located at one side of the bundled area NA2 along the first direction X, i.e., the shaped non-display area NA1 is located at a corner area of one side of the display panel close to the driving chip 40.
The special-shaped non-display area NA1 includes a special-shaped edge B1, the special-shaped edge B1 is located on a side of the special-shaped non-display area NA1 close to the display area AA, an extending direction of the special-shaped edge B1 intersects both the first direction X and the second direction Y, the special-shaped edge B1 may be a curved line segment, an arc line segment, or an oblique line segment, and fig. 1 and 2 only use the special-shaped edge B1 as an arc line segment for illustration.
Because the structure of dysmorphism non-display area NA1 is set to the corner district in the non-display area NA in the display panel, compare with the structure that the corner district sets to the right angle shape in the non-display area NA, the area of dysmorphism non-display area NA1 is less, and dysmorphism non-display area NA1 is close to the setting of binding district NA2, still be provided with the line of being connected with driver chip 40 electricity in the dysmorphism non-display area NA1, thereby cause the space that is used for placing shift register 30 in the dysmorphism non-display area NA1 not enough, need increase the width of dysmorphism non-display area NA1 on first direction X and/or second direction Y and place shift register 30, be unfavorable for realizing the narrow frame.
In some alternative embodiments, with reference to fig. 3, a dummy shift register 301 is further disposed in the gate driving circuit 20, the dummy shift register 301 does not need to provide signals to the sub-pixels located in the display area, and the dummy shift register is disposed in the non-display area NA 1. For example, the dummy shift register 301 may be configured to close the shift register 30 connected to the scan line at the last stage and empty the charge in the driving node thereof, and of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the dummy shift register 301 may have other functions, which will not be described herein again. The arrangement of the virtual shift register 301 in the special-shaped non-display area NA1 further results in an insufficient layout area of the shift register 30 in the special-shaped non-display area NA1, and the width of the special-shaped non-display area NA1 in the first direction X and/or the second direction Y needs to be further increased to place the virtual shift register 301, which is not favorable for realizing a narrow frame.
It should be noted that fig. 3 exemplarily shows that one virtual shift register 301 is arranged in the gate driving circuit 20, in other embodiments of the present invention, other numbers of virtual shift registers may also be arranged in the gate driving circuit 20 according to actual production requirements, and details of the present invention are not repeated herein.
Since the spacing between two adjacent second transistors T2a in the first shift register 31 is greater than the spacing between two adjacent second transistors T2b in the second shift register 32 in the first direction X, and/or the spacing between two adjacent second transistors T2a in the first shift register 31 is greater than the spacing between two adjacent second transistors T2b in the second shift register 32 in the second direction Y, that is, by reducing the spacing between two adjacent second transistors T2b in the second shift register 32 in the first direction X and/or the second direction Y, the length of the second shift register 32 in the first direction X and/or the width in the second direction Y is reduced, which is advantageous for reducing the area of the second shift register 32. At least one second shift register 32 is located in the irregular non-display area NA1, that is, at least one shift register 30 of the shift registers 30 located in the irregular non-display area NA1 is the second shift register 32, and since the length of the second shift register 32 in the first direction X is smaller and/or the width of the second shift register 32 in the second direction Y is smaller, the width of the irregular non-display area NA1 in the first direction X and/or the second direction Y is favorably reduced, and the narrow bezel is favorably realized.
And since the area of the second shift register 32 is reduced in the second shift register 32 by reducing the pitch between two adjacent second transistors T2b in the first direction X and/or in the second direction Y, the size of the first transistor T1b in the second shift register 32 is the same as the size of the first transistor T1a in the first shift register 31, and the size of the second transistor T2b in the second shift register 32 is the same as the size of the second transistor T2a in the first shift register 31, so that the output performance of the second shift register 32 and the first shift register 31 tends to be uniform.
In the present embodiment, only one side of the display panel is provided with the gate driver circuit 20 as an example. Alternatively, the gate driving circuit 20 may be disposed on both sides of the display panel.
In other embodiments of the present invention, the non-display area may further include two or more special-shaped non-display areas, and the setting of the shift register in each special-shaped non-display area may refer to the setting in fig. 2, which is not described herein again.
In some alternative embodiments, the first shift register 31 is spaced from the barrier 10 by L1, the second shift register 32 is spaced from the barrier 10 by L2, and L1 < L2, i.e. the spacing between the first shift register 31 and the barrier 10 is smaller.
The common material of the barrier portion 10 is a curing adhesive, the curing effect of which is affected by the light transmittance, and the higher the light transmittance, the better the curing effect. Because the interval between two adjacent second crystals T2a is great in first shift register 31, effectively reduce the influence to the luminousness of separation portion 10, can effectively reduce the interval between first shift register 31 and the separation portion 10, be favorable to reducing the width of non-display area NA on first direction X, effectively reduce the area of non-display area NA, be favorable to realizing the narrow frame. Further, in order to further reduce the width of the non-display area NA in the first direction X, a portion of the first shift register 31 overlaps with the barrier section 10 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel, and illustratively, the second crystal T2a in the first shift register 31 overlaps with the barrier section 10 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel, since the distance between two adjacent second crystals T2a in the first shift register 31 is large, the influence on the light transmittance of the barrier section 10 is small, and the influence on the curing effect of the barrier section 10 is small.
In some alternative embodiments, L1 < 150 μm ≦ L2. When the pitch between the first shift register 31 and the barrier portion 10 is smaller than 150 μm, the pitch between two adjacent second crystals T2 in the shift register 30 has a large influence on the curing effect of the barrier portion 10. In the gate driver circuit 20, the shift register 30 having a distance smaller than 150 μm from the barrier portion 10 is the first shift register 31, and the distance between two adjacent second transistors T2a in the first shift register 31 is large, so that the influence on the light transmittance of the barrier portion 10 is effectively reduced. Alternatively, the first shift register 31 partially overlaps the barrier section 10 in a direction perpendicular to the display panel.
It should be noted that, in the gate driving circuit 20 shown in this embodiment, the shift register 30 having a distance from the blocking portion 10 smaller than 150 μm is the first shift register 31, and the shift register 30 having a distance from the blocking portion 10 greater than or equal to 150 μm is the second shift register 32, in other embodiments of the present invention, other process standards may also be adopted to set the shift register 30 to be the first shift register 31 or the second shift register 32 according to the distance from the blocking portion 10, which is not described herein again.
With continued reference to fig. 1 and 2, in some alternative embodiments, the non-display area NA further includes a second non-display area NA3, the second non-display area NA3 is located at one side of the display area AA along the first direction X, and the second non-display area NA3 extends along the second direction Y, the space between the shift register 30 and the blocking part 10 in the second non-display area NA3 is small, in some alternative embodiments, the shift register 30 in the second non-display area NA3 partially overlaps with the blocking part 10, the shift register 30 located in the second non-display area NA3 is the first shift register 31, since the distance between two adjacent second crystals T2a in the first shift register 31 is large, the influence on the light transmittance of the barrier portion 10 is effectively reduced, the distance between the first shift register 31 and the blocking portion 10 can be effectively reduced, the width of the second non-display area NA3 in the first direction X can be effectively reduced, and the narrow frame can be realized.
Fig. 6 is a partial schematic structure diagram of a display panel provided by the present invention, fig. 7 is an enlarged schematic diagram of a portion C in the display panel shown in fig. 6, referring to fig. 1, fig. 6 and fig. 7, in some optional embodiments, the non-display area NA further includes a fan-shaped routing area NA4, the plurality of traces 50 extend from the display area AA to extend through the fan-shaped routing area NA4 to be electrically connected to the driver chip 40, and therefore, the fan-shaped routing area NA4 is located between the display area AA and the driver chip 40. Specifically, in some optional embodiments, the trace 50 is a data line, but the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the trace 50 may also be another signal line, which is not described herein again. Since the corner area of the non-display area NA in the display panel near the driving chip 40 is configured as the special-shaped non-display area NA1, a part of the fan-shaped wiring area NA4 is located in the special-shaped non-display area NA1 between the gate driving circuit 20 and the display area AA.
Specifically, in the structures shown in fig. 6 and 7, since the adjacent second shift registers 32 are arranged by being shifted, and the overlapping area of the adjacent second shift registers 32 in the second direction Y is: the second sub-section 34b of one of the second shift registers 32 and the first sub-section 33b of the other second shift register 32, thus enabling a further narrow bezel in both the first direction X and the second direction Y.
With continued reference to fig. 4 and 5, in some alternative embodiments, the shift register 30 includes a first sub-section 33 and a second sub-section 34 arranged along the first direction X, the first transistor T1 being located in the first sub-section 33, and the second transistor T2 being located in the second sub-section 34.
In the second direction Y, the spacing between two adjacent second transistors T2a in the first shift register 31 is greater than the spacing between two adjacent second transistors T2b in the second shift register 32, so that, in the first shift register 31, the width of the first sub-area 33a is h1 and the width of the second sub-area 34a is h2 in the second direction Y; in the second shift register 32, in the second direction Y, the width of the first sub-area 33b is h1, and the width of the second sub-area 34b is h 3; wherein h2 is more than 0 and more than h3 and less than or equal to h 1. I.e. in the second direction Y, the width of the second sub-section 34a in the first shift register 31 is smaller than the width of the second sub-section 34b in the second shift register 32. Since the size of the first transistor T1 is larger than the size of the second transistor T2 in the shift register 30, the width of the first sub-area 33a in the first shift register 31 is the width of the first transistor T1 in the second direction Y. In the second direction Y, the width of the second sub-area 34a in the first shift register 31 is smaller than the width of the first sub-area 33, and the width of the second sub-area 34b in the second shift register 32 is smaller than or equal to the width of the first sub-area 33, which effectively reduces the width of the shift register 30 in the second direction Y.
It should be noted that fig. 3-5 exemplarily show that the first sub-area 33 includes one first transistor T1, the second sub-area 34 includes four first transistors T1 and the first transistors T1 are arranged in an array, in other embodiments of the present invention, the first sub-area 33 may further include two or more first transistors T1, and the first transistors T1 in the first sub-area 33 are arranged along the first direction X, the second sub-area 34 may further include another number of second transistors T2, and the second transistors T2 may also be arranged in another manner.
In some alternative embodiments, when the first sub-section 33 comprises two or more first transistors T1, the spacing between two adjacent first transistors T1a in the first shift register 31 may be larger than the spacing between two adjacent first transistors T1b in the second shift register 32, further reducing the length of the second shift register 32 in the first direction X.
In the prior art, because the corner area of the non-display area in the display panel, which is close to the driving chip, is configured as the special-shaped non-display area, when the shift registers in the special-shaped non-display area are arranged along the second direction, all the shift registers cannot be placed in the special-shaped non-display area under the condition that the width of the special-shaped non-display area in the second direction is not changed. In order not to increase the width of the shaped non-display area in the second direction, there is a structure in which two or more shift registers are arranged in the first direction in the shaped non-display area, resulting in a larger width of the shaped non-display area in the first direction. And part of the fan-shaped wiring area is positioned in the special-shaped non-display area and between the grid drive circuit and the display area, so that the width of the special-shaped non-display area in the first direction is further larger.
