Abstract

A display screen and an electronic device. The display screen comprises a first display region and a second display region connected to each other. The pixel density of the first display region is less than the pixel density of the second display region. Each of minimum repeat regions in the first display region comprises at least two pixel units, and each of the two pixel units comprises multiple pixels having different light-emitting colors. Pixel units in the same minimum repeat region are all located in the same diagonal direction of the minimum repeat region.

Claims (30)

1 . A display screen, comprising:

a first display region, comprising a plurality of minimum repeat regions; and

a second display region, adjacent to the first display region;

wherein a pixel density of the first display region is less than a pixel density of the second display region, each of the plurality of minimum repeat regions comprises at least two pixel units, each of the at least two pixel units comprises a plurality of pixels having different light-emitting colors, and the pixel units in a same minimum repeat region are all located in a same diagonal direction of the minimum repeat region;

wherein pixels having a same color emit lights simultaneously in the same minimum repeat region;

wherein pixels having a same color in the same minimum repeat region are controlled by a same circuit.

2 . The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of minimum repeat regions are arranged in an array, each of the pixel units comprises a pixel having a first color, a pixel having a second color, and a pixel having a third color, and the first color, the second color, and the third color are configured to synthetically display a white light.

3 . The display screen according to claim 2 , wherein each of the pixel units comprises a first sub-pixel unit and a second sub-pixel unit, the first sub-pixel unit is located in a first column, the second sub-pixel unit is located in a second column, and the first column is different from the second column.

4 . The display screen according to claim 3 , wherein the first sub-pixel unit comprises the pixel having the first color, the second sub-pixel unit comprises the pixel having the second color and the pixel having the third color, and the pixel having the second color and the pixel having the third color are located in a same column.

5 . The display screen according to claim 2 , wherein each of the pixel units comprises a first sub-pixel unit, a second sub-pixel unit, and a third sub-pixel unit, the first sub-pixel unit is located in a first column, the second sub-pixel unit is located in a second column, the third sub-pixel unit is located in a third column, and the first column, the second column, and the third column are different from each other.

6 . The display screen according to claim 5 , wherein the first sub-pixel unit comprises the pixel having the first color, the second sub-pixel unit comprises the pixel having the second color, and the third sub-pixel unit comprises the pixel having the third color.

7 . The display screen according to claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of pixels comprises a light-emitting window layer, and light-emitting window layers of the pixels having different light-emitting colors have same opening areas; or

the light-emitting window layers of the pixels having the different light-emitting colors have different opening areas, and a sum of an opening area of the light-emitting window layer of the pixel having the first color and an opening area of the light-emitting window layer of the pixel having the third color is twice of an opening area of the light-emitting window layer of the pixel having the second color.

8 . The display screen according to claim 7 , wherein the light-emitting window layers of all of the pixels are in a same plane.

9 . The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the first display region is fully enclosed by the second display region; or

the first display region is semi-enclosed by the second display region.

10 . The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the first display region comprises at least one first adjacent row adjacent to the second display region, and at least one first adjacent column adjacent to the second display region; the second display region comprises at least one second adjacent row adjacent to the first display region, and at least one second adjacent column adjacent to the first display region; the at least one second adjacent row corresponds to the at least one first adjacent row, and the at least one second adjacent column corresponds to the at least one first adjacent column;

wherein a color of a pixel in each first adjacent row is different from a color of an opposite pixel in a corresponding second adjacent row; and/or

wherein a color of a pixel in each first adjacent column is different from a color of an opposite pixel in a corresponding second adjacent column.

11 . The display screen according to claim 2 , wherein the array extends along a row direction and extends along a column direction, wherein the at least two pixel units in the minimum repeat region have different arrangements in a terminating row; and/or

the at least two pixel units in the minimum repeat region have different arrangements in a terminating column.

12 . The display screen according to claim 11 , wherein adjacent sub-pixel units of the at least two pixel units are the same in the same minimum repeat region in the termination row; and/or

adjacent sub-pixel units of the at least two pixel units are the same in the same minimum repeat region in the termination column.

13 . The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first display region and the second display region further comprises a transition region, the first display region has a first brightness, the second display region has a second brightness, the second brightness is less than the first brightness, and a brightness of the transition region gradually decreases in a direction from the first display region to the second display region.

14 . The display screen according to claim 13 , wherein brightness of pixels in adjacent rows or brightness of pixels in adjacent columns of the transition region is in an arithmetic progression or in a geometric sequence.

15 . The display screen according to claim 13 , wherein the transition region comprises a column transition region formed by the first display region and the second display region extending in a column direction and a row transition region formed by the first display region and the second display region extending in a row direction;

wherein brightness of pixels of each column in the column transition region is related to the first brightness, the second brightness, a width of the column transition region, and a position of a current column in the column transition region; and/or

brightness of pixels of each row in the row transition region is related to the first brightness, the second brightness, a width of the row transition region, and a position of the current row in the row transition region.

16 . The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein

light-emitting window layers of the pixels having the same color are connected in the same minimum repeat region.
