图1为一实施例的显示模组的结构示意图之一,本实施例的显示模组包括像素电路阵列和发光器件阵列。本申请实施例的显示模组应用于窄边框的显示设备。显示设备可以为智能手机、平板电脑、游戏设备、增强现实(Augmented Reality,AR)设备、笔记本、桌面计算设备、可穿戴设备等。为了方便理解,下面以显示设备为手机进行举例说明。图2为一实施例的像素电路阵列的结构示意图之一,图3为一实施例的发光器件阵列的结构示意图,像素电路阵列100和发光器件阵列200在显示设备的厚度方向层叠设置,以形成显示模组。FIG. 1 is one of the structural schematic diagrams of a display module according to an embodiment. The display module according to this embodiment includes a pixel circuit array and a light emitting device array. The display module of the embodiment of the present application is applied to a display device with a narrow frame. The display device may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a game device, an augmented reality (Augmented Reality, AR) device, a notebook, a desktop computing device, a wearable device, and the like. For the convenience of understanding, the following uses the mobile phone as an example for illustration. FIG. 2 is one of the structural schematic diagrams of a pixel circuit array in an embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a structural schematic diagram of a light emitting device array in an embodiment. The pixel circuit array 100 and the light emitting device array 200 are stacked in the thickness direction of the display device to form Display mods.
结合参考图1至图3,所述发光器件阵列200在第一方向上的尺寸大于所述像素电路阵列100在第一方向上的尺寸。可以理解的是,相较于发光器件阵列200和像素电路阵列100的尺寸1:1设置的方式,基于本实施例的尺寸设置方式,能够在保持发光器件阵列200的尺寸不变的基础上,通过相对缩小像素电路阵列100的尺寸,提供一定的空间用于设置其他***电路。其他***电路包括但不限于栅极驱动电路、扇出走线组500等。因此,在本实施例中,可以将其他***电路和像素电路阵列100设置在同一层中,并使发光器件阵列200部分设置在其他***电路上。其中,发光器件阵列200与像素电路阵列100之间的尺寸差异,决定了其他***电路能够设置在发光器件阵列200下的具体面积。即,像素电路阵列100相较于发光器件阵列200的尺寸越小,其他***电路能够设置在发光器件阵列200下的具体面积越大,相应地,其他***电路在第一方向上暴露于发光器件阵列200外部的面积越小,用于遮挡上述其他***电路的边框宽度越小。因此,基于上述设置方式,可以缩窄显示模组在第一方向上的边框宽度。Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 , the size of the light emitting device array 200 in the first direction is larger than the size of the pixel circuit array 100 in the first direction. It can be understood that, compared with the 1:1 arrangement of the size of the light emitting device array 200 and the pixel circuit array 100, based on the size setting method of this embodiment, the size of the light emitting device array 200 can be kept unchanged, By relatively reducing the size of the pixel circuit array 100 , a certain space is provided for arranging other peripheral circuits. Other peripheral circuits include but are not limited to gate drive circuits, fan-out wire group 500 and so on. Therefore, in this embodiment, other peripheral circuits and the pixel circuit array 100 can be arranged in the same layer, and the light emitting device array 200 can be partially arranged on other peripheral circuits. Wherein, the size difference between the light emitting device array 200 and the pixel circuit array 100 determines the specific area where other peripheral circuits can be arranged under the light emitting device array 200 . That is, the smaller the size of the pixel circuit array 100 compared with the light emitting device array 200, the larger the specific area that other peripheral circuits can be arranged under the light emitting device array 200. Correspondingly, other peripheral circuits are exposed to the light emitting device in the first direction. The smaller the area outside the array 200 is, the smaller the width of the frame used to shield the above-mentioned other peripheral circuits is. Therefore, based on the above arrangement, the frame width of the display module in the first direction can be narrowed.
参考图2,像素电路阵列100包括多个第一像素子电路和多个第二像素子电路。各所述第二像素子电路分别位于在第一方向上相邻的两个所述第一像素子电路之间,所述第一方向垂直于所述显示模组的厚度方向。其中,第一像素子电路可以理解为实际用于控制发光器件阵列200的发光亮度和发光颜色等特性的像素子电路。第二像素子电路可以理解为虚拟像素子电路(dummy pixel),如图2所示,第二像素子电路不与发光器件连接,而只是用于优化像素电路阵列100的尺寸和排列方式。Referring to FIG. 2, the pixel circuit array 100 includes a plurality of first pixel sub-circuits and a plurality of second pixel sub-circuits. Each of the second pixel sub-circuits is respectively located between two adjacent first pixel sub-circuits in a first direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the display module. Wherein, the first pixel sub-circuit can be understood as a pixel sub-circuit that is actually used to control characteristics such as light-emitting brightness and light-emitting color of the light-emitting device array 200 . The second pixel sub-circuit can be understood as a dummy pixel sub-circuit (dummy pixel). As shown in FIG.
参考图3,所述发光器件阵列200包括多个发光器件201,所述发光器件201包括阴极和阳极。各 多个所述发光器件201的阳极分别与多个所述第一像素子电路一一对应地连接。具体地,图2中各第一像素子电路中位于下部的圆点结构即为第一像素子电路用于连接发光器件201的节点,相应地,图3中各发光器件201中的圆圈结构即为用于连接第一像素子电路的阳极。需要说明的是,图2和图3实施例中的圆圈结构仅用于示例性说明,而不用于限定本申请的保护范围。可以理解的是,在相对缩小像素电路阵列100后,需要使第一像素子电路与对应的发光器件201的位置相对应,以避免二者之间的距离过远造成信号传输速度慢或信号传输过程中的损耗,从而避免不同发光器件201的响应速度或发光亮度之间的差异过大。因此,第二像素子电路能够填补缩小尺寸导致的第一像素子电路之间的间隙,以实现上述位置对应的目的,提高第一像素子电路的排列均匀性,从而提高显示模组的显示均匀性。Referring to FIG. 3 , the light emitting device array 200 includes a plurality of light emitting devices 201 including cathodes and anodes. The anodes of each of the plurality of light-emitting devices 201 are respectively connected to the plurality of first pixel sub-circuits in a one-to-one correspondence. Specifically, the dot structure located at the lower part of each first pixel sub-circuit in FIG. 2 is the node for connecting the first pixel sub-circuit to the light emitting device 201. Correspondingly, the circle structure in each light emitting device 201 in FIG. 3 is is used to connect the anode of the first pixel sub-circuit. It should be noted that the circle structures in the embodiments in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are only for illustrative purposes, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. It can be understood that, after the pixel circuit array 100 is relatively reduced, it is necessary to make the first pixel sub-circuit correspond to the position of the corresponding light-emitting device 201, so as to avoid slow signal transmission speed or signal transmission caused by too long distance between the two. loss during the process, so as to avoid excessive differences in the response speed or luminous brightness of different light emitting devices 201 . Therefore, the second pixel sub-circuit can fill the gap between the first pixel sub-circuits caused by size reduction, so as to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of position correspondence, improve the arrangement uniformity of the first pixel sub-circuit, thereby improving the display uniformity of the display module. sex.
图4为未设置第二像素子电路的显示模组的结构示意图,参考图4,在图4的左上角和右下角,分别加粗示出了两个绿色发光器件对应的驱动走线,驱动走线是指连接于发光器件和对应的第一像素子电路之间的走线。其中,位于图4中左侧的发光器件可以理解为靠近显示模组中心的发光器件,而图4中右侧的发光器件可以理解为靠近显示模组边框的发光器件。明显地,两条驱动走线之间的长度差异较大,并会导致发光器件在响应速度或发光亮度等性能上的差异,导致显示模组在第一方向上的显示不均匀。而且,更关键的是,在图4中,驱动走线的长度变化是渐变式的,即,越靠近边框,驱动走线的长度越长。因此,图4中并不存在一个驱动走线的长度的设置方式相同的区域。Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a display module without a second pixel sub-circuit. Referring to Fig. 4, in the upper left corner and lower right corner of Fig. The wiring refers to the wiring connected between the light emitting device and the corresponding first pixel sub-circuit. Wherein, the light emitting device on the left side in FIG. 4 can be understood as the light emitting device near the center of the display module, and the light emitting device on the right side in FIG. 4 can be understood as the light emitting device near the frame of the display module. Obviously, the length difference between the two driving wires is large, which will lead to the difference in the performance of the light emitting device such as response speed or luminous brightness, resulting in uneven display of the display module in the first direction. Moreover, more critically, in FIG. 4 , the length of the driving trace changes gradually, that is, the closer to the frame, the longer the length of the driving trace. Therefore, there is no region in FIG. 4 where the lengths of the driving traces are set in the same manner.
继续参考图2,本实施例的显示模组还包括电路走线101。可以理解的是,第一像素子电路需要连接大量的信号线(即图中沿第二方向延伸的多条细走线102),以实现所需要的发光控制功能,而第二像素子电路不用于控制发光器件,因此,第二像素子电路也不需要设置相应的信号线。但是,这会导致第一像素子电路对应区域的走线密度较大,而第二像素子电路对应区域的走线密度较小,而金属走线通常具有一定的反光特性,若走线密度不同,会导致显示模组在不同区域的发光特性不同,从而导致息屏Mura的问题。其中,mura是指显示模组显示不均匀的现象。因此,在本实施例中,通过设置电路走线101,显示模组中的走线排布较为均匀,可以改善显示模组中走线密度的分布均匀性,从而避免电路走线101密度差异引起的息屏Mura的问题。而且,走线密度分布均匀性较好的显示模组也有利于稳定工艺制程,保证显示模组中电路结构的电性一致性,保证显示的均匀性。其中,电路走线101的长度可以与第一像素子电路中的信号线102的长度相等,以进一步提高电路走线101和信号线102的一致性。Continuing to refer to FIG. 2 , the display module of this embodiment further includes a circuit trace 101 . It can be understood that the first pixel sub-circuit needs to connect a large number of signal lines (that is, a plurality of thin wires 102 extending along the second direction in the figure) to realize the required light emission control function, while the second pixel sub-circuit does not need Therefore, the second pixel sub-circuit does not need to be provided with corresponding signal lines. However, this will result in a relatively high routing density in the area corresponding to the first pixel sub-circuit, and a relatively small routing density in the area corresponding to the second pixel sub-circuit, and metal routing usually has a certain reflective characteristic. If the routing density is different , will lead to different luminous characteristics of the display module in different areas, which will lead to the problem of screen mura. Among them, mura refers to the phenomenon that the display module displays unevenly. Therefore, in this embodiment, by setting the circuit traces 101, the traces in the display module are relatively evenly arranged, which can improve the distribution uniformity of the trace density in the display module, thereby avoiding the density difference of the circuit traces 101. The problem of the screen Mura. Moreover, a display module with a better distribution of wiring density is also conducive to stabilizing the process, ensuring the electrical consistency of the circuit structure in the display module, and ensuring the uniformity of the display. Wherein, the length of the circuit trace 101 may be equal to the length of the signal line 102 in the first pixel sub-circuit, so as to further improve the consistency between the circuit trace 101 and the signal line 102 .
其中,电路走线101还可以分别与多个第二像素子电路连接,且连接方式对应于第一像素子电路与信号线的连接方式。具体地,第一像素子电路连接的信号线的类型可以是但不限于数据信号线,栅极线和发光控制线。以信号线为数据信号线为例,若电路走线101平行于数据信号线,则电路走线101与多个第二像素子电路的连接方式可以对应于数据信号线与第一像素子电路的连接方式,即,数据信号线与第一像素子电路的数据信号端连接,则电路走线101就与第二像素子电路的数据信号端连接,以进一步提高显示模组中各走线结构的一致性。Wherein, the circuit traces 101 can also be respectively connected to a plurality of second pixel sub-circuits, and the connection mode is corresponding to the connection mode between the first pixel sub-circuits and the signal lines. Specifically, the types of signal lines connected to the first pixel sub-circuit may be but not limited to data signal lines, gate lines and light emission control lines. Taking the signal line as the data signal line as an example, if the circuit trace 101 is parallel to the data signal line, the connection mode between the circuit trace 101 and the plurality of second pixel sub-circuits may correspond to the connection between the data signal line and the first pixel sub-circuit. The connection mode, that is, the data signal line is connected to the data signal end of the first pixel sub-circuit, and then the circuit wiring 101 is connected to the data signal end of the second pixel sub-circuit, so as to further improve the flexibility of each wiring structure in the display module. consistency.
可选地,各发光器件的阴极可以互相隔离,各发光器件的阴极连接至对应的阴极信号线,并分别从连接的阴极信号线获取阴极的电信号,其中,阴极的电信号可以由显示驱动芯片输出。各发光器件的阴极也可以采用共阴极设计,即发光器件的阴极互相连通,并通过调节阳极的电信号的方式分别控制各发光器件的亮度,以实现更加简单的制备工艺和控制方式。需要说明的是,上述示例仅用于举例说明,而不用于限定本实施例的保护范围,本实施例的技术方案可以应用于上述任一种阴极结构。Optionally, the cathodes of each light emitting device can be isolated from each other, the cathodes of each light emitting device are connected to the corresponding cathode signal lines, and the electrical signals of the cathodes are respectively obtained from the connected cathode signal lines, wherein the electrical signals of the cathodes can be driven by the display chip output. The cathode of each light-emitting device can also adopt a common cathode design, that is, the cathodes of the light-emitting devices are connected to each other, and the brightness of each light-emitting device is controlled separately by adjusting the electrical signal of the anode, so as to achieve a simpler manufacturing process and control method. It should be noted that the above examples are only for illustration, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this embodiment, and the technical solutions of this embodiment can be applied to any of the above cathode structures.
可以理解的是,在显示模组中,需要在***电路的区域通过导电结构连接阴极信号线和发光器件的阴极,以将阴极信号线上的电信号传输至发光器件的阴极,从而实现电性导通。但是,在实现前述窄边框的显示模组的过程中,通常情况下需要适当压缩***电路的尺寸。因此,用于连接阴极信号线和发光器件的阴极的导电结构的尺寸也会相对缩小,从而容易导致阴极信号线和发光器件的阴极之间的电性接触不良或者接触阻抗加大,进而各发光器件的阴极电性不均匀,并甚至可能引发显示mura。此外,每个发光器件的阴极可以等效为一个电阻R1,相连接的多个发光器件的阴极可以等效为串联的多个电阻,即nR1,因此,相连接的多个发光器件的阴极越多,等效电阻越大,阴极的电压信号在传输过程中的阻碍和损耗越大,显示模组中各发光器件的阴极电压的一致性越差。It can be understood that in the display module, it is necessary to connect the cathode signal line and the cathode of the light-emitting device through a conductive structure in the area of the peripheral circuit, so as to transmit the electrical signal on the cathode signal line to the cathode of the light-emitting device, thereby realizing electrical performance. conduction. However, in the process of realizing the aforementioned display module with narrow borders, it is usually necessary to properly reduce the size of peripheral circuits. Therefore, the size of the conductive structure used to connect the cathode signal line and the cathode of the light-emitting device will also be relatively reduced, which will easily lead to poor electrical contact or increased contact resistance between the cathode signal line and the cathode of the light-emitting device, and then each emits light. The cathode of the device is electrically non-uniform and may even cause a display mura. In addition, the cathode of each light-emitting device can be equivalent to a resistor R1, and the cathodes of multiple connected light-emitting devices can be equivalent to multiple resistors connected in series, that is, nR1. Therefore, the more connected the cathodes of multiple light-emitting devices The greater the equivalent resistance, the greater the hindrance and loss of the cathode voltage signal during transmission, and the worse the consistency of the cathode voltage of each light-emitting device in the display module.
为了抑制上述阴极电性不均匀的问题,本实施例将所述电路走线分别与多个所述发光器件的阴极连接,其中,电路走线的延伸方向可以平行于显示模组的栅极线、初始化信号线和数据信号线中的一个,本实施例不做限定。在本实施例中,通过将电路走线分别与多个发光器件的阴极连接,可以理解为将电路走线的等效电阻与发光器件的阴极的等效电阻相并联。示例性地,以电路走线的等效电阻与一个发光器件的阴极的等效电阻并联为例,并联后的整体结构的阻抗为R1R2/(R1+R2),即小于一个发光器件的阴极的等效电阻R1,从而减小了阴极的电压信号在传输过程中的阻碍和损耗,提高了各发光器件的阴极电压的一致性。In order to suppress the above-mentioned problem of uneven electrical properties of the cathode, in this embodiment, the circuit traces are respectively connected to the cathodes of a plurality of the light-emitting devices, wherein the extending direction of the circuit traces may be parallel to the gate lines of the display module One of the initialization signal line and the data signal line is not limited in this embodiment. In this embodiment, by connecting the circuit traces to the cathodes of the plurality of light emitting devices respectively, it can be understood that the equivalent resistance of the circuit traces is connected in parallel with the equivalent resistance of the cathodes of the light emitting devices. Exemplarily, taking the parallel connection of the equivalent resistance of the circuit trace and the equivalent resistance of the cathode of a light-emitting device as an example, the impedance of the overall structure after parallel connection is R1R2/(R1+R2), which is less than that of the cathode of a light-emitting device The equivalent resistance R1 reduces the obstruction and loss of the cathode voltage signal during transmission, and improves the consistency of the cathode voltage of each light emitting device.
可选地,电路走线与发光器件的阴极的连接可以为直接连接,也可以为间接连接。例如,发光器件 的阴极可以经由导电结构连接至电路走线,上述导电结构可以是但不限于金属化孔、导电插塞、走线等。而且,本实施例不对电路走线的数量进行限定。可选地,电路走线的数量可以为一条,则发光器件阵列200中的全部发光器件的阴极连接至同一电路走线。电路走线的数量也可以为多条,则当采用前述互相隔离的阴极设计时,一部分发光器件的阴极可以连接至同一电路走线,另一部分发光器件的阴极可以连接至另外的同一电路走线。而且,当电路走线的数量为多条时,可以根据预设规则选择连接至同一电路走线的多个发光器件。一示例性地,继续参考图2,图2中示出了8个第一像素子电路的阴极节点(图2中的圆圈形结构),可以使每条电路走线101分别连接相同数量的第一像素子电路的阴极,并且使连接至同一电路走线101的多个第一像素子电路呈轴对称设置,且对称轴即为连接的该电路走线101。即,如图2所示,每条电路走线101用于连接位于四列中的各第一像素子电路,且其中两列位于电路走线101的左侧,另外两列位于电路走线101的右侧。进一步地,可以是位于同一列的多个第一像素子电路对应的发光器件的阴极连接至同一电路走线101。基于上述结构,既可以避免发光器件的阴极所连接的走线过长,也可以使电路走线101对不同区域的阴极具有相近的并联效果,从而使阴极各处对应的并联后电阻值相近,提高了各发光器件的阴极电压的一致性,进而提高了显示的均匀性。Optionally, the connection between the circuit trace and the cathode of the light emitting device may be a direct connection or an indirect connection. For example, the cathode of the light emitting device may be connected to the circuit trace via a conductive structure, which may be but not limited to a metallized hole, a conductive plug, a trace, and the like. Moreover, this embodiment does not limit the number of circuit wires. Optionally, the number of circuit traces may be one, and the cathodes of all light emitting devices in the light emitting device array 200 are connected to the same circuit trace. The number of circuit traces can also be multiple, so when adopting the aforementioned mutually isolated cathode design, the cathodes of some light-emitting devices can be connected to the same circuit traces, and the cathodes of another part of the light-emitting devices can be connected to another same circuit traces . Moreover, when there are multiple circuit traces, multiple light emitting devices connected to the same circuit trace can be selected according to preset rules. As an example, continuing to refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 shows cathode nodes (circular structures in FIG. 2) of eight first pixel sub-circuits, and each circuit trace 101 can be respectively connected to the same number of first pixel sub-circuits. A cathode of a pixel sub-circuit, and a plurality of first pixel sub-circuits connected to the same circuit trace 101 are arranged axially symmetrically, and the axis of symmetry is the connected circuit trace 101 . That is, as shown in FIG. 2 , each circuit trace 101 is used to connect the first pixel sub-circuits located in four columns, and two columns are located on the left side of the circuit trace 101, and the other two columns are located on the circuit trace 101 to the right of the . Further, the cathodes of the light emitting devices corresponding to the plurality of first pixel sub-circuits in the same column may be connected to the same circuit wiring 101 . Based on the above-mentioned structure, it is possible to prevent the wiring connected to the cathode of the light-emitting device from being too long, and it is also possible to make the circuit wiring 101 have a similar parallel connection effect on the cathodes in different regions, so that the corresponding parallel resistance values of the cathodes are similar. The uniformity of the cathode voltage of each light-emitting device is improved, thereby improving the display uniformity.
在本实施例中,基于上述显示模组的结构,减小了其他***电路在第一方向上暴露于发光器件阵列200外部的宽度,即缩窄了显示模组的边框宽度。同时,通过加入第二像素子电路,可以避免不同发光器件的驱动距离差异导致的发光器件的响应速度或发光亮度差异,从而提高了显示模组的显示均匀性。而且,本实施例还设置了与第二像素子电路连接的电路走线101,以提高第一像素子电路和第二像素子电路的一致性抑制息屏mura问题,并将上述电路走线101与发光器件的阴极连接,使阴极的电阻与电路走线101的电阻相并联,相当于降低了阴极和电路走线101这一整体结构的阻抗。即,减小了阴极的电压信号在传输过程中的阻碍和损耗,从而提高了各发光器件的阴极电压的一致性,避免了阴极电压对各发光器件的显示亮度的影响,进而提高了显示模组的显示均匀性。In this embodiment, based on the above structure of the display module, the width of other peripheral circuits exposed to the outside of the light emitting device array 200 in the first direction is reduced, that is, the frame width of the display module is narrowed. At the same time, by adding the second pixel sub-circuit, it is possible to avoid the difference in the response speed or luminance of the light-emitting device caused by the difference in the driving distance of different light-emitting devices, thereby improving the display uniformity of the display module. Moreover, in this embodiment, a circuit wiring 101 connected to the second pixel sub-circuit is also provided to improve the consistency between the first pixel sub-circuit and the second pixel sub-circuit and suppress the screen mura problem, and the above-mentioned circuit wiring 101 It is connected to the cathode of the light-emitting device, and the resistance of the cathode is connected in parallel with the resistance of the circuit trace 101, which is equivalent to reducing the impedance of the overall structure of the cathode and the circuit trace 101. That is, the obstruction and loss of the cathode voltage signal in the transmission process are reduced, thereby improving the consistency of the cathode voltage of each light emitting device, avoiding the influence of the cathode voltage on the display brightness of each light emitting device, and further improving the display mode. Group display uniformity.
