Abstract

A display substrate, a method for driving the same, a display device, and a fine metal mask are provided, and a display area of the display substrate includes a first display sub-area in which pixels are distributed at a high density, and a second display sub-area in which pixels are distributed at a low density.

Claims (31)

1 . A display device, comprising a display area; wherein the display area comprises:

a first display sub-area; and

the first display sub-area comprises a plurality of groups of pixels, each group of pixels comprises a first sub-pixel, two second sub-pixels and a third sub-pixel, the first sub-pixel and one of the two second sub-pixels forms a first pixel element and the third sub-pixel and the other one of the two second-sub-pixel forms a second pixel element;

the second display sub-area comprises a plurality of third pixel elements, each third pixel element comprises a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel and a third sub-pixel arranged adjacent to each other, the plurality of third pixel elements are arranged in a row direction to form a plurality of rows of pixel, the plurality of rows of pixels are arranged along a column direction, and lines connecting centers of the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel in each third pixel elements form a triangle; and,

at least two of distances between sub-pixels located at an edge of the first display sub-area close to the second display sub-area and sub-pixels respectively adjacent thereto and located at an edge of the second display sub-area close to the first display sub-area are different.

2 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of at least one sub-pixel in the first display sub-area is different from a shape of a sub-pixel in the second display sub-area that emits light with a same color as the at least one sub-pixel.

3 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein shapes of sub-pixels in the second display sub-area are rectangular.

4 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a quantity of sub-pixels in one group of pixels of the first display sub-area is greater than a quantity of sub-pixels in one third pixel element of the second display sub-area.

5 . The display device according to claim 4 , wherein a quantity of the second sub-pixel in the one group of pixels of the first display sub-area is twice a quantity of the second sub-pixel in the one third pixel element of the second display sub-area.

6 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein in the second display sub-area, a length of the first sub-pixel in the column direction and a length of the third sub-pixel in the column direction are both greater than a length of the second sub-pixel in the column direction.

7 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein in the second display sub-area, an area of the second sub-pixel is less than an area of the third sub-pixel.

8 . The display device according to claim 2 , wherein a light-emitting area of a sub-pixel in the second display sub-area is greater than a light-emitting area of a sub-pixel with a same color in the first display sub-area.

9 . The display device according to claim 6 , wherein in the second display sub-area, a length of the first sub-pixel in the column direction is greater than twice a length of the second sub-pixel in the column direction.

10 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein in the second display sub-area, first sub-pixels, second sub-pixels and third sub-pixels in a plurality of third pixel elements arranged on a same column are respectively arranged on a same straight line extending along the column direction.

11 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein in the second display sub-area, sub-pixels in different third pixel elements have same relative positions.

12 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein at a portion of an edge of the second display sub-area near the first display sub-area, the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel are closest to the first display sub-area.

13 . The display device according to claim 12 , wherein the first display sub-area comprises a plurality of columns of second sub-pixels, and a portion of an edge of the first display sub-area close to the second display sub-area is provided with the column of second sub-pixels.

14 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein in the second display sub-area, a size of the third sub-pixel in the row direction is same as a size of the second sub-pixel in the row direction.

15 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein in the second display sub-area, third pixel elements in adjacent rows are arranged in a staggered arrangement.

16 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein in one third pixel element of the second display sub-area, the line connecting the centers of the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel is parallel to the row direction.

17 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein in the first display sub-area, the plurality of groups of pixels are arranged in the column direction to form a plurality of columns of pixels, the plurality of columns of pixels are arranged along the row direction, and two adjacent columns of the pixels are arranged in a staggered arrangement, and two adjacent rows of the pixels are arranged in a staggered arrangement.

18 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein, in an area where the first display sub-area and the second display sub-area are adjacent to each other, a sub-pixel located in the first display sub-area, and a sub-pixel adjacent thereto and located in the second display sub-area have different colors.

19 . The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a shortest distance between at least one sub-pixel in the sub-pixels located at the edge of the second display sub-area close to the first display sub-area and a nearest sub-pixel of a different color in the sub-pixels located at the edge of the first display sub-area close to the second display sub-area is defined as a first distance,

a shortest distance between the at least one sub-pixel in the sub-pixels located at the edge of the second display sub-area close to the first display sub-area and a nearest sub-pixel of a same color in the sub-pixels located at the edge of the first display sub-area close to the second display sub-area is defined as a second distance, and
