Detailed Description
In order that those skilled in the art will better understand the present invention, a technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in which it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any inventive effort, shall fall within the scope of the present invention.
It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and the claims of the present invention and the above figures are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate such that the embodiments of the invention described herein may be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
As described in the background art, the existing display panel connects the gate signal lines on both sides of the hole in a wire winding manner, so that the load of the gate signal line on the hole is different from the load of the gate signal line in the normal display area, resulting in the difference in the delay of the transmission signal (the delay of the rising edge and/or the falling edge of the signal) on the signal lines on both sides of the hole, especially for a medium-and-large-sized display panel, the load difference on both sides of the hole is larger, so that the difference in the driving signal received by a plurality of pixels connected to the same gate signal line is larger, which causes the phenomenon of transverse mura (uneven display) and reduces the display effect.
In view of the foregoing, embodiments of the present invention provide a display panel. Fig. 1 is a schematic top view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 1, the display panel provided in this embodiment includes a light-transmitting region 10, a non-display region 20 at least partially surrounding the light-transmitting region 10, and a display region 30 at least partially surrounding the non-display region 20. The light-transmitting area 10 is a hole, and the hole may be a through hole. The light-transmitting region 10 is located in the display region 30, and a non-display region 20 surrounding the light-transmitting region 10 is disposed around the light-transmitting region 10, the non-display region 20 being used for wiring to connect signal lines on both sides of the light-transmitting region 10. Here, both sides of the light-transmitting region 10 may refer to the first side and the second side of the light-transmitting region 10 in the X-direction, and may also refer to the first side and the second side of the light-transmitting region 10 in the Y-direction.
Fig. 2 is a schematic top view of another display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, specifically, a schematic top view of a light-transmitting area 10 and a wiring around a non-display area 20 of the light-transmitting area 10, and fig. 3 is an enlarged schematic view of a part of the structure of the display panel area a shown in fig. 2, and referring to fig. 2 and 3, the display panel further includes a plurality of first gate signal lines 11 extending along a first direction, and the plurality of first gate signal lines 11 are arranged along a second direction. The first direction may be an X direction, and the second direction may be a Y direction. In the X direction, the first gate signal line 11 extends directly from the left side to the right side of the display panel within the display region 30 that does not pass through the light-transmitting region 10. At the position of the light-transmitting area 10, the first gate signal line 11 includes a first trace portion 101 located at a first side of the light-transmitting area 10 (e.g., a left side of the display panel) and located at the display area 30, and a second trace portion 102 located at a second side of the light-transmitting area 10 (e.g., a right side of the display panel) and located at the display area 30, and both the first trace portion 101 and the second trace portion 102 extend from the display area 30 to the non-display area 20 surrounding the light-transmitting area 10.
The first gate signal line 11 further includes a first connection line 103 located in the non-display region 20, the first connection line 103 for connecting the first and second routing parts 101 and 102 so that a gate signal can be transmitted from the first routing part 101 to the second routing part 102.
With continued reference to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the first connection line 103 includes the first sub-segment 113 and the second sub-segment 123 connected in parallel to increase the cross-sectional area of the first connection line 103, and the impedance of the first connection line 103 formed by the connection structure in which the first sub-segment 113 and the second sub-segment 123 are connected in parallel to each other is lower than the first connection line 103 adopting a single wiring, so that the impedance difference of the first gate signals transmitted by the first gate signal lines 11 on both sides of the light-transmitting area 10 can be reduced, and the delay difference of the gate signals on both sides of the light-transmitting area 10 can be reduced to improve the display effect of the pixels on both sides of the light-transmitting area 10.
According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the first wiring part 101 which is positioned at the first side of the light transmission area 10 and positioned at the display area 30 and the second wiring part 102 which is positioned at the second side of the light transmission area 10 and positioned at the display area 30 are connected through the first connecting wire 103, wherein the first connecting wire 103 comprises the first subsection 113 and the second subsection 123 which are connected in parallel so as to reduce the impedance of the first connecting wire 103, thereby reducing the load difference of the first grid signal wire 11 in the non-display area 20 surrounding the light transmission area 10 and the display area 30, being beneficial to reducing the delay of the first grid signal transmitted on the first grid signal wire 11, and further being beneficial to improving the problem of uneven display caused by larger signal delay at two sides of the light transmission area 10, and improving the display quality.
Fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional structure of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, and specifically, a cross-sectional structure of the display panel shown in fig. 3 along a cutting line BB'. Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in an alternative embodiment, the display panel includes a substrate 40, and a plurality of conductive layers stacked on one side of the substrate 40, and the first and second sub-segments 113 and 123 are disposed on different conductive layers. For example, the first trace portion 101 and the second trace portion 102 are located on the same conductive layer, the first sub-segment 113 may be disposed on the same layer as the first trace portion 101, and the second sub-segment 123 may be located on a different conductive layer than the first sub-segment 113. Because the first sub-segment 113 and the second sub-segment 123 are different layers, the space between the first sub-segment 113 and the second sub-segment 123 can be greatly reduced on the horizontal plane of the Y direction, and the first sub-segment 113 and the second sub-segment 123 which are positioned on different conductive layers can even overlap together under specific conditions, so as to reduce the occupied area of the first connecting line 103, which is beneficial to realizing high PPI.
Fig. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional structure of another display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 5, based on the above technical solutions, optionally, the first subsection 113 may be located in a different conductive layer from the first routing portion 101, and the second subsection 123 may also be located in a different conductive layer from the first routing portion 113. Illustratively, the first sub-segment 113 and the second sub-segment 123 are connected through a via, and after the first sub-segment 113 and the second sub-segment 123 are connected in parallel, the first sub-segment 113 and the second sub-segment 123 are respectively connected with the first routing portion 113 and the second routing portion 123 through the via, and since the first sub-segment 113 and the second sub-segment 123 are different from the first routing portion 101, the wiring space of the first sub-segment 113 or the second sub-segment 123 can be increased, which is beneficial to simplifying the process.
Fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional structure of another display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional structure of another display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 6 and fig. 7, based on the above technical solutions, optionally, the multiple conductive layers include a first conductive layer M1 and a second conductive layer M2, where the first conductive layer M1 is located on one side of the substrate 40, and the second conductive layer M2 is located on one side of the first conductive layer M1 away from the substrate 40. The multi-layer conductive layer further includes a third conductive layer M3, and the third conductive layer M3 is located on a side of the first conductive layer M1 close to the substrate 10, that is, in the thickness direction Z of the display panel, the first conductive layer M1 is interposed between the second conductive layer M2 and the third conductive layer M3.
