Detailed Description
The term "and/or" herein is merely an association describing an associated object, meaning that three relationships may exist, e.g., a and/or B, may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship unless otherwise specified.
In addition, it should be understood that the terms first, second, etc. in the description of the embodiments of the invention are used for distinguishing between the descriptions and are not intended to indicate or imply relative importance or order to be construed.
It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described below are only for illustrating and explaining the present invention and are not to be used for limiting the present invention. And the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other without conflict. Also, the shapes and sizes of the various elements in the drawings are not to scale and are merely intended to illustrate the present invention.
In practical applications, the pixel density of the light-emitting units in theregion 1 can be set to be less than the pixel density of the light-emitting units in theother regions 2 except theregion 1 in the display region, so as to increase the area of the light-transmitting region in theregion 1, thereby ensuring that theoptoelectronic device 100 receives a sufficient amount of light. Here, the pixel density refers to the number of light emitting cells uniformly arranged in a unit area.
In practical applications, since the number of light emitting cells uniformly arranged in a unit area in theregion 1 is smaller than the number of light emitting cells uniformly arranged in a unit area in theregion 2, in the case where the luminance of the light emitting cells in the two regions is the same, the luminance of theregion 1 is lower than that of theregion 2. In order to improve the luminance uniformity of theregions 1 and 2, the current density of theregion 1 is often required to be increased. However, due to the material properties of the luminescent material itself in the sub-pixels of different colors inregion 1, the lifetime of the blue luminescent material is the shortest compared to the lifetime of the red luminescent material and the lifetime of the green luminescent material. Once the current density of thearea 1 is increased, the luminance of the blue sub-pixel is rapidly attenuated in a short time, while the luminance of the red sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel still maintain a higher level, and because the current density of thearea 1 is relatively higher than that of thearea 2, and because the current density is increased, the difference of the luminance attenuation of the sub-pixels of different colors in thearea 1 is more obvious, so that the difference of the display luminance of the sub-pixels in thearea 1 is larger.
In the experiment of simulating the brightness attenuation of the sub-pixels with different colors, the applicant of the invention finds that when the brightness of the sub-pixels with different colors is attenuated to 95% of the brightness of the same color which is originally corresponding to the sub-pixels with different colors, the time required by the red sub-pixel is longer than that required by the green sub-pixel and the blue sub-pixel, which is consistent with the characteristics of the luminescent materials with different colors.
Therefore, embodiments of the present invention provide a display panel and a display device for reducing the brightness attenuation difference of each sub-pixel in the area corresponding to the optoelectronic device in the display area.
Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention includes afirst display area 11 and asecond display area 12, where thefirst display area 11 is a region corresponding to the optoelectronic device in thedisplay area 10 and capable of displaying, and thesecond display area 12 is another display area in thedisplay area 10 except for thefirst display area 11. Thedisplay area 11 and thesecond display area 12 of the display panel respectively include alight emitting unit 1000, and thelight emitting unit 1000 includes ared subpixel 1001, agreen subpixel 1002, and ablue subpixel 1003. In thefirst display region 11, the aperture area of thered sub-pixel 1001 is a ', the aperture area of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 is B ', and the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 is C '; in thesecond display area 12, the aperture area of thered sub-pixel 1001 is a, the aperture area of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 is B, and the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 is C, wherein a is not more than C, and B is not more than C; wherein A '< A, B' < B, (A-A ')/A > (C-C')/C, (B-B ')/B > (C-C')/C. Fig. 3 is a schematic top view of a region G (a region corresponding to a dashed line frame) in thedisplay region 10 in fig. 2. It should be noted that the aperture area of a sub-pixel is specifically the area of the light emitting region of the sub-pixel, and the aperture area of the sub-pixel is proportional to the aperture ratio of the corresponding sub-pixel, where the aperture ratio of the sub-pixel is specifically the ratio of the area of the light emitting region of the sub-pixel in thelight emitting unit 1000 to the area of the wholelight emitting unit 1000.
In a specific application, the ratio of the difference between the opening area of thered sub-pixel 1001 in thesecond display area 12 and the opening area of thered sub-pixel 1001 in thefirst display area 11 to the opening area of thered sub-pixel 1001 in thesecond display area 12 is a first ratio; the ratio of the difference between the opening area of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 in thesecond display region 12 and the opening area of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 in thefirst display region 11 to the opening area of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 in thesecond display region 12 is a second ratio; the ratio of the difference between the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thesecond display region 12 and the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thefirst display region 11 to the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thesecond display region 12 is a third ratio; the first ratio is greater than the third ratio, and the second ratio is greater than the third ratio. Therefore, under the condition that the aperture areas of thered sub-pixel 1001 and thegreen sub-pixel 1002 in thefirst display area 11 are respectively smaller than the aperture areas of the corresponding same-color sub-pixels in thesecond display area 12, the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in each color sub-pixel in thefirst display area 11 is relatively larger, and the life of theblue sub-pixel 1003 is increased by relatively increasing the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thefirst display area 11, so that the luminance attenuation difference of thered sub-pixel 1001, thegreen sub-pixel 1002 and theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thefirst display area 11 is reduced. That is, the difference in luminance attenuation of each sub-pixel in the region corresponding to the optoelectronic element within thedisplay area 10 is reduced.
With continued reference to fig. 3, in thefirst display region 11 comprising thered sub-pixel 1001, thegreen sub-pixel 1002 and theblue sub-pixel 1003, the law of the aperture areas of the sub-pixels in thefirst display region 11 can be understood as that the aperture areas of the sub-pixels of the respective colors are varied with respect to thesecond display region 12 to different extents, wherein (a-a ')/a > (C-C')/C, (B-B ')/B > (C-C')/C, that is, the aperture area of thered sub-pixel 1001 is relatively reduced more, the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 is relatively reduced less or not changed or increased, so as to increase the difference of the aperture areas of theblue sub-pixel 1003 and thered sub-pixel 1001 or thegreen sub-pixel 1002, to balance the problem of the excessively fast luminance degradation due to the lifetime of the blue luminescent material, and to improve the color shift of the display panel through such balance, the user experience is improved.
In the embodiment of the present invention, both thefirst display area 11 and thesecond display area 12 may display images. Illustratively, thedisplay area 10 is substantially rectangular in shape, for example, if the corners of thedisplay area 10 are all right angles, the display area is rectangular. For another example, if the top corner of thedisplay area 10 is an arc-shaped corner, thedisplay area 10 is substantially rectangular.
In the embodiment of the present invention, thefirst display area 11 may be one or more. Thesecond display area 12 may be a continuous area, or thesecond display area 12 may also be a discontinuous area, and a person skilled in the art may design the specific address according to an application environment of the actual display panel, which is not limited herein.
In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, the pixel density of thelight emitting unit 1000 of thefirst display region 11 is less than the pixel density of thelight emitting unit 1000 of thesecond display region 12. In this way, thedisplay area 10 is disposed as thesecond display area 12 with a large pixel density and thefirst display area 11 with a small pixel density, and the transmittance of thefirst display area 11 is relatively high due to the small pixel density in thefirst display area 11, so that when the optoelectronic device is disposed in thefirst display area 11, the amount of light received by the optoelectronic device is increased, and the performance of the optoelectronic device is improved.
In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4 to 12, at least a part of the edge of thefirst display region 11 coincides with at least a part of the edge of thedisplay region 10, and the remaining part of thefirst display region 11 is surrounded by thesecond display region 12. In this way, thefirst display region 11 can be disposed at the edge of thedisplay region 10.
In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 13 and 14, thesecond display area 12 is disposed to surround thefirst display area 11. In this way, thefirst display region 11 can be disposed inside thedisplay region 10.
In a specific implementation, the shape of thefirst display area 11 may be set to a regular shape, for example, as shown in fig. 4 to 6, the shape of thefirst display area 11 is set to a rectangle. The vertex angle of the rectangle can be a right angle or an arc angle. As shown in fig. 7, the shape of thefirst display region 11 may be set to be a trapezoid (e.g., an inverted trapezoid). The top angle of the trapezoid can be a regular included angle or an arc-shaped angle. As shown in fig. 13 to 14, the shape of thefirst display area 11 may be set to be circular, or the shape of thefirst display area 11 may be set to be irregular. For example, as shown in fig. 8, thefirst display region 11 may be shaped in a drop shape. Of course, in practical applications, the shape of thefirst display area 11 may be designed according to the shape of the optical electronic element disposed in thefirst display area 11, and is not limited herein.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the relative position relationship and the shape of thefirst display area 11 and thesecond display area 12 are not limited, and may be specifically set according to the screen design of the display device. Taking a mobile phone as an example, as shown in fig. 4, thefirst display area 11 may be disposed at the upper left corner of thedisplay area 10. As shown in fig. 5, thefirst display area 11 may be disposed at the upper right corner of thedisplay area 10. The camera is arranged at the corner, and simple and quick function services such as time display, weather and information reminding can be carried out by utilizing thefirst display area 11. As shown in fig. 6 to 8, thefirst display area 11 may be disposed at an upper middle position of thedisplay area 10. As shown in fig. 9 and 10, thefirst display area 11 and thesecond display area 12 may be arranged in a row direction. Wherein thefirst display region 11 may be positioned at an upper side or a lower side of thesecond display region 12. As shown in fig. 11 and 12, thefirst display area 11 and thesecond display area 12 may be arranged in a column direction. Wherein thefirst display area 11 may be positioned at the left or right side of thesecond display area 12. As shown in fig. 13, thefirst display area 11 may be disposed in the middle of thedisplay area 10. As shown in fig. 14, thefirst display area 11 is disposed at a corner (e.g., upper right corner) of thedisplay area 10. In this way, it is also possible to provide optical and electronic components, such as a sensor for face recognition (for example, an infrared sensor or the like), for example, a camera, in the area of thefirst display area 11. Of course, in practical applications, the specific position of thefirst display area 11 may be determined according to practical application environments, and is not limited herein.
In the embodiment of the invention, in thesecond display 12 area, the aperture area of thered sub-pixel 1001 is a, the aperture area of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 is B, and the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 is C, where a is less than or equal to C and B is less than or equal to C. In a specific implementation, the aperture areas of the sub-pixels of different colors in thesecond display area 12 may be equal (i.e., a ═ B ═ C), and may also be unequal a < C and B < C (e.g., a ═ B < C). In a specific implementation process, the aperture area C of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thesecond display area 12 may be set to be larger than the aperture area a of thered sub-pixel 1001 and the aperture area B of thegreen sub-pixel 1002, so that the lifetime of each sub-pixel in thesecond display area 12 may be balanced to some extent.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the aperture area a 'of thered sub-pixel 1001 in thefirst display area 11 is smaller than the aperture area a of thered sub-pixel 1001 in thesecond display area 12, and the aperture area B' of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 in thefirst display area 11 is smaller than the aperture area B of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 in thesecond display area 12, when C 'is less than or equal to C, that is, the aperture area C' of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thefirst display area 11 is less than or equal to the aperture area C of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thesecond display area 12. Since A '< A, B' < B, (A-A ')/A > (C-C')/C, (B-B ')/B > (C-C')/C, A ≦ C, B ≦ C, the first ratio is greater than the third ratio, and the second ratio is greater than the third ratio, the difference in luminance decay of the sub-pixels in thefirst display region 11 is balanced, and the difference in luminance decay of the sub-pixels in thefirst display region 11 is reduced.
In the specific implementation process, still taking the display panel shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3 as an example, the current density of thesecond display area 12 is I, the opening areas of thered sub-pixel 1001, thegreen sub-pixel 1002, and theblue sub-pixel 1003 are A, B, C respectively, where C > a, C > B, and at this time, the luminance decay rate of each sub-pixel in thesecond display area 12 is not much different. The current density of thefirst display region 11 is NI (N is greater than 1), and the opening areas of thered sub-pixel 1001, thegreen sub-pixel 1002, and theblue sub-pixel 1003 are a ', B ', and C ', respectively, where C ═ C, B ═ B, and a:. It is possible to define that the opening areas B ' and a ' are reduced more than C ' in the sub-pixels in thefirst display region 11 than in the sub-pixels of the same color in thesecond display region 12. Therefore, the brightness attenuation difference of each sub-pixel in thefirst display area 11 is reduced, and the display effect of the display panel is improved.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the ratio between the aperture areas of the same color sub-pixels in the first display region 11 and the second display region 12 is a, B, C, where a is 0.8<a<1,0.8<b<1,0.8<c≤1,a<c,b<c, e.g. 1200 μm for a ═ B2,C=2000μm2,A’=B’=1080μm2,C’=2000μm2In this way, when the current density of the first display area 11 is increased compared with the current density of the second display area 12, the problem of inconsistent attenuation caused by the luminescent materials of different colors is balanced by adjusting the opening areas of the sub-pixels of different colors, the luminance attenuation of the blue sub-pixel 1003 can be less different from the luminance attenuation of the red sub-pixel 1001 and the blue sub-pixel 1003, so that the display effect of the display panel is improved, and meanwhile, the ratio relationship between the opening areas of the sub-pixels of the same color in the first display area 11 and the second display area 12 is controlled within the range, and through simulation experiments by the applicant, the problem of luminance attenuation caused by different service lives of the luminescent materials of different colors can be balanced without causing display problems.
In some alternative embodiments, the width-to-length ratio of the driving transistors in the driving circuits connected to the sub-pixels of any one color of thelight emitting unit 1000 of thefirst display region 11 is greater than the width-to-length ratio of the driving transistors in the driving circuits connected to the sub-pixels of any one color of the light emitting unit of thesecond display region 12. In this way, the larger the width-to-length ratio of the driving transistor in the driving circuit is, the faster the carrier transfer rate is, and the larger the width-to-length ratio of the driving transistor in the same time period, the larger the light emitting luminance of the driving circuit. Compared with thesecond display area 12, the width and length of the driving transistor in the driving circuit connected to the same color sub-pixel in thefirst display area 11 are larger, so that the luminance of thelight emitting unit 1000 of thefirst display area 11 is improved, and the luminance uniformity between thefirst display area 11 and thesecond display area 12 is ensured.
In a specific implementation, in thefirst display region 11, the width-to-length ratio of the driving transistor in the driving circuit connected to theblue sub-pixel 1003 is greater than the width-to-length ratio of the driving transistor in the driving circuit connected to thered sub-pixel 1001, and the width-to-length ratio of the driving transistor in the driving circuit connected to thered sub-pixel 1001 is greater than the width-to-length ratio of the driving transistor in the driving circuit connected to thegreen sub-pixel 1002. Because human eyes are sensitive to green, red and blue, the width-to-length ratio of the driving transistor in the driving circuit connected with theblue sub-pixel 1003 is set to be the maximum, the display effect of the display device can be improved, and the use experience of a user is improved.
In some alternative embodiments, as shown in fig. 15, another schematic top view structure diagram of the region G in thedisplay area 10 shown in fig. 2 is shown. In a specific implementation process, in thesecond display area 12, thelight emitting units 1000 are arranged in an array along a first direction and a second direction, the first direction intersects with the second direction, and thelight emitting unit 1000 includes onered sub-pixel 1001, onegreen sub-pixel 1002, and two blue sub-pixels 1003. Thered subpixel 1001 and thegreen subpixel 1002 are arranged in the first direction, and the twoblue subpixels 1003 are arranged in the first direction; in fig. 15, arrow E represents the first direction and arrow F represents the second direction. In a specific implementation, the relationship between the aperture areas of the sub-pixels in thesecond display region 12 may be equal to each other, i.e., a ═ B ═ C. It may also be unequal to each other, e.g., a < C, B < C, and further e.g., a ═ B < C. For example, in thesecond display region 12 shown in fig. 15, the aperture areas of thered sub-pixel 1001, thegreen sub-pixel 1002, and theblue sub-pixel 1003 are equal to each other, that is, a ═ B ═ C.
In a specific implementation process, as also shown in fig. 15, in thefirst display area 11, thelight emitting units 1000 are arranged in an array along the first direction and the second direction, eachlight emitting unit 1000 includes ared sub-pixel 1001, agreen sub-pixel 1002, and ablue sub-pixel 1003, thered sub-pixel 1001 and thegreen sub-pixel 1002 are arranged along the first direction, theblue sub-pixel 1003 is located on the same side of thered sub-pixel 1001 and thegreen sub-pixel 1002, and theblue sub-pixel 1003 extends along the first direction. In thefirst display region 11 shown in fig. 15, the aperture area of thered sub-pixel 1001 is smaller than that of thegreen sub-pixel 1002, and both are smaller than those of theblue sub-pixel 1003. Namely a ' < B ' < C '. The opening area of the sub-pixel in thefirst display region 11 is a ' < a, B ' < B, C ' > C, compared with the opening area of the sub-pixel of the corresponding color in thesecond display region 12. In fig. 15, the light-transmitting area in thefirst display area 11 is D, and the transmittance of thefirst display area 11 is high, so that the sufficient light quantity received by the optical electronic element is ensured, and the usability of the display panel is improved.
In a specific implementation, the specific relationship between the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thefirst display region 11 and thesecond display region 12 is C < C' ≦ 2C. When C' is 2C, the aperture area of theblue subpixel 1003 in thefirst display region 11 is 2 times the aperture area of theblue subpixel 1003 in thesecond display region 12. At C' <2C, the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thefirst display region 11 is smaller than 2 times the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thesecond display region 12, as if the aperture areas of two adjacent blue sub-pixels arranged in the first direction in thesecond display region 12 were reduced by a certain ratio, and the reduced blue sub-pixels are combined together to form oneblue sub-pixel 1003 in thefirst display region 11. By combining this pixel arrangement and setting A ' < A, B ' < B, (A-A ')/A > (C-C ')/C, (B-B ')/B > (C-C ')/C, (C-C ')/C < 0 at this time), the lifetime of theblue sub-pixel 1003 is increased, effectively balancing the different color sub-pixel luminance differences.
In a specific implementation process, if the lifetime of thered sub-pixel 1001 of thelight emitting unit 1000 is longer than that of thegreen sub-pixel 1002, in order to reduce the luminance attenuation difference of each sub-pixel in thefirst display area 11, the aperture area of thered sub-pixel 1001 in thefirst display area 11 is reduced by a maximum ratio compared to the aperture areas of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 and theblue sub-pixel 1003. In a specific implementation process, in thefirst display area 11, the orthographic projection of theblue sub-pixel 1003 on the plane where the display panel is located covers the orthographic projection of the driving circuit connected to thered sub-pixel 1001 and the orthographic projection of the driving circuit connected to theblue sub-pixel 1003 on the plane where the display panel is located. That is to say, in thefirst display area 11, the driving circuit connected to theblue sub-pixel 1003 is placed into theblue sub-pixel 1003, and the driving circuit of thered sub-pixel 1001 around theblue sub-pixel 1003 is also placed under theblue sub-pixel 1003, that is, the driving circuit of thered sub-pixel 1001 is offset from the light-emitting position of thered sub-pixel 1001, so that the problem that the driving circuit under thered sub-pixel 1001 is exposed due to too much reduced opening area of thered sub-pixel 1001 is further avoided, and the display effect of the display panel is improved.
In some alternative embodiments, in combination with fig. 16 and 17, the display panel further comprises athird display area 13, thethird display area 13 being a transition area between thefirst display area 11 and thesecond display area 12. Fig. 17 is a schematic top view of a region H (a region corresponding to a dashed line frame) in fig. 16. Specifically, thethird display region 13 is disposed between thefirst display region 11 and thesecond display region 12, and in thethird display region 13, the aperture areas of the sub-pixels of the same color gradually increase in a direction in which thefirst display region 11 is directed to thesecond display region 12. Specifically, in thethird display region 13, in the direction in which thefirst display region 11 is directed to thesecond display region 12, the aperture area of thered sub-pixel 1001 gradually increases from a ' to a, the aperture area of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 gradually increases from B ' to B, and the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 gradually increases from C ' to C. Because the pixel density of thefirst display area 11 is different from the pixel density of thesecond display area 12, the luminance of the correspondingfirst display area 11 is obviously different from that of the correspondingsecond display area 12, and an obvious boundary line appears at the boundary of thefirst display area 11 and thesecond display area 12, and the transition area is arranged between thefirst display area 11 and thesecond display area 12, so that the boundary of thesecond display area 12 and thefirst display area 11 can be effectively prevented from appearing an obvious bright line, and the display effect of the display panel is improved.
In a specific implementation process, as also shown in fig. 17, thethird display area 13 includes afirst sub-pixel 131, asecond sub-pixel 132, and a third sub-pixel 133 of the same color along a direction from thefirst display area 11 to thesecond display area 12, and a difference between an opening area of the third sub-pixel 133 and an opening area of thesecond sub-pixel 132 is equal to a difference between an opening area of thesecond sub-pixel 132 and an opening area of thefirst sub-pixel 131. Wherein, the same color can be red, green or blue. That is, in thethird display region 13, the aperture area of the same color sub-pixel increases by a fixed value in a direction in which thefirst display region 11 is directed to thesecond display region 12. That is, the opening areas of the same color sub-pixels in thethird display area 13 along the direction from thefirst display area 11 to thesecond display area 12 are increased according to the equal difference, so that the brightness of the corresponding color sub-pixels is uniformly transited from thefirst display area 11 to thesecond display area 12, and the brightness uniformity of the display panel is ensured.
In a specific implementation process, the opening areas of the sub-pixels of any color of thelight emitting units 1000 in thefirst display area 11 are the same value, and the opening areas of the sub-pixels of any color of thelight emitting units 1000 in thesecond display area 12 are the same value; in thethird display area 13, the opening area of the sub-pixel near thefirst display area 11 is greater than or equal to the opening area of the sub-pixel of the same color in thefirst display area 11, and the opening area of the sub-pixel near thesecond display area 12 is less than or equal to the opening area of the sub-pixel of the same color in thesecond display area 12, so that the brightness of each sub-pixel is ensured to be uniformly transited from thefirst display area 11 to the second display area. For example, fig. 18 is another schematic top view of the region H in fig. 16. Specifically, in the first display region 11, the aperture areas of the red sub-pixels 1001 of all the light-emitting units 1000 are equal, the aperture areas of the green sub-pixels 1002 of all the light-emitting units 1000 are equal, and the aperture areas of the blue sub-pixels 1003 of all the light-emitting units 1000 are equal; in the second display area 12, the opening areas of the red sub-pixels 1001 of all the light emitting units 1000 are equal, the opening areas of the green sub-pixels 1002 of all the light emitting units are equal, and the opening areas of the blue sub-pixels 1003 of all the light emitting units 1000 are equal; in the third display area 13, the opening areas of the red sub-pixels 1001 of all the light emitting units 1000 are equal, the opening areas of the green sub-pixels 1002 of all the light emitting units 1000 are equal, and the opening areas of the blue sub-pixels 1003 of all the light emitting units 1000 are equal; also in the third display region 13, the aperture area of the blue sub-pixel 1003 on the side close to the first display region 11 is larger than the aperture area of the blue sub-pixel 1003 in the first display region 11, and the aperture area of the red sub-pixel 1001 on the side close to the second display region 12 is smaller than the aperture area of the red sub-pixel 1001 in the second display region 12.
In some alternative embodiments, in combination with fig. 19 and 20, the display panel includes afourth display area 14 disposed between thefirst display area 11 and thesecond display area 12, and fig. 20 is a schematic top view of the area Q in fig. 19. Specifically, thefourth display area 14 serves as a transition area between thefirst display area 11 and thesecond display area 12. In thefourth display region 14, the aperture area of thered sub-pixel 1001 is A ", the aperture area of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 is B", and the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 is C ", wherein (A-A")/A > (C-C ")/C, (B-B")/B > (C-C ")/C, (A" -A ')/A "> (C" -C')/C "", (B "-B ')/B" > (C "-C')/C". That is, the reduction ratio of the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thefourth display area 14 is controlled to be minimum compared with other sub-pixels, and the reduction ratio of the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thefirst display area 11 is controlled to be minimum compared with other sub-pixels, so that the luminance attenuation difference of each sub-pixel in the fourth display area is reduced, and the display effect of the display panel is improved.
In the specific implementation process, A ═ A- (A-A ')/d, B ═ B- (B-B ')/d, and C ═ C- (C-C ')/d, wherein 0< d is less than or equal to 0.01. That is, in thefourth display area 14, the aperture area of each sub-pixel is a fixed value, and the aperture area of thered sub-pixel 1001 is equal to the aperture area of thered sub-pixel 1001 in thesecond display area 12, and the difference between the aperture area of thered sub-pixel 1001 in thesecond display area 12 and the product of the difference between the aperture area of thered sub-pixel 1001 in thefirst display area 12 and the product of d; the opening area of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 is equal to the opening area of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 in thesecond display area 12, and the difference between the product of the difference between the opening area of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 in thesecond display area 12 and the opening area of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 in thefirst display area 12 and d; the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 is equal to the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thesecond display region 12, and the difference between the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thesecond display region 12 and the product of the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thefirst display region 12 and d. That is, in thefourth display area 14, the aperture area of thered sub-pixel 1001 is reduced by a percentage d compared with the aperture area of thered sub-pixel 1001 in thesecond display area 12, the aperture area of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 is reduced by a percentage d compared with the aperture area of thegreen sub-pixel 1002 in thesecond display area 12, and the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 is reduced by a percentage d compared with the aperture area of theblue sub-pixel 1003 in thesecond display area 12, so that the uniform transition of the luminance of each sub-pixel from thefirst display area 11 to thesecond display area 12 is ensured, and the display effect of the display panel is improved. In the implementation process, in thefourth display area 14, the width-to-length ratio of the driving transistors in the driving circuits connected to the sub-pixels of the same color is gradually reduced along the direction from thefirst display area 11 to thesecond display area 12. Therefore, the uniform transition of the brightness of each sub-pixel from thefirst display area 11 to thesecond display area 12 is ensured, and the display effect of the display panel is improved.

Other essential components of the display device are understood by those skilled in the art, and are not described herein nor should they be construed as limiting the present invention.
In the display panel and the display device provided by the embodiments of the present invention, the aperture area a 'of the red sub-pixel in the first display region is smaller than the aperture area a of the red sub-pixel in the second display region, and the aperture area B' of the green sub-pixel in the first display region is smaller than the aperture area B of the green sub-pixel in the second display region. Furthermore, the relationship between the aperture areas of the same-color sub-pixels in the second display region compared with the aperture areas of the same-color sub-pixels in the first display region is (A-A ')/A > (C-C ')/C, (B-B ')/B > (C-C ')/C, where A is not more than C, B is not more than C, C is the aperture area of the blue sub-pixel in the second display region, and C ' is the aperture area of the blue sub-pixel in the first display region. In other words, the ratio of the difference between the opening area of the red sub-pixel in the second display area and the opening area of the red sub-pixel in the first display area to the opening area of the red sub-pixel in the second display area is a first ratio; the ratio of the difference value of the opening area of the green sub-pixel in the second display area to the opening area of the green sub-pixel in the first display area to the opening area of the green sub-pixel in the second display area is a second ratio; the ratio of the difference value of the opening area of the blue sub-pixel in the second display area and the opening area of the blue sub-pixel in the first display area to the opening area of the blue sub-pixel in the second display area is a third ratio; the first ratio is greater than the third ratio, and the second ratio is greater than the third ratio. Therefore, under the condition that the opening areas of the red sub-pixel and the green sub-pixel in the first display area are respectively smaller than the opening areas of the corresponding sub-pixels with the same color in the second display area, the brightness attenuation difference of the red sub-pixel, the green sub-pixel and the blue sub-pixel in the first display area is reduced.
