Abstract

A display panel and a display device are provided by embodiments of the present disclosure, relating to a field of display technology. The display panel comprises a pixel array substrate and an opposite substrate which is located opposite to the pixel array substrate, the pixel array substrate comprising a pixel array and a substrate on which the pixel array is arranged; the pixel array comprises a plurality of columns of sub-pixels, a light-shielding wall being provided between any two adjacent columns of sub-pixels; and a first length of the light-shielding wall in a direction perpendicular to the substrate is smaller than a spacing between the pixel array substrate and the opposite substrate. By providing the light-shielding wall which is enabled to shield sub-pixels(s) so as to decrease a visual range of the display panel, between any two adjacent columns of sub-pixels within the pixel array, a peep-proof aim can be achieved by the embodiments of the present disclosure. And the first length of the light-shielding wall in a direction perpendicular to the substrate is smaller than a spacing between the pixel array substrate and the opposite substrate, such that neither the thickness of the display panel nor that of the display apparatus can be increased by providing the light-shielding wall.

Claims (28)

1. A display panel, wherein the display panel comprises a pixel array substrate and an opposite substrate which is located opposite to the pixel array substrate, the pixel array substrate comprising a pixel array and a substrate on which the pixel array is arranged;

wherein the pixel array comprises a plurality of columns of sub-pixels, a light-shielding wall being provided between any two adjacent columns of sub-pixels; and

wherein the substrate in the pixel array substrate is used as a reference; and on the basis of such reference, a direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate is specified as a first direction, and a length in the first direction is referred to as a first length, and the first length of the light-shielding wall in a direction perpendicular to the substrate is uniform and smaller than a spacing between the pixel array substrate and the opposite substrate;

wherein the first length of the light-shielding wall is larger than a thickness of its adjacent sub-pixel in the direction perpendicular to the substrate;

wherein the light-shielding wall is spaced apart from either of two adjacent columns of sub-pixels in vicinity thereof; and

wherein both the light-shielding wall and two adjacent columns of sub-pixels are formed directly on and abutting against a surface of the substrate facing towards the opposite substrate.

2. The display panel according to claim 1 ,

wherein a continuous light-shielding wall is provided as the light-shielding wall which is continuously disposed, between any two adjacent columns of sub-pixels within the pixel array.

3. The display panel according to claim 2 ,

wherein on the basis of the reference, a longitudinal direction in which the substrate extends in the plane thereof is specified as a second direction, and for each continuous light-shielding wall, it is configured to be aligned with a prescribed column within the pixel array which is one column configured to be provided with a larger length in a longitudinal direction of the substrate, within two columns located in vicinity of the light-shielding wall at both sides thereof respectively.

4. The display panel according to claim 1 ,

wherein a plurality of light-shielding walls are provided as light-shielding walls spaced apart, between any two adjacent columns of sub-pixels within the pixel array.

5. The display panel according to claim 4 ,

wherein on the basis of the reference, a longitudinal direction in which the substrate extends in the plane thereof is specified as a second direction, and for each light-shielding wall, it is configured to be aligned with prescribed sub-pixels, which are sub-pixels configured to have a largest length in a longitudinal direction of the substrate, within at least one sub-pixel located at each of both sides in vicinity of the light-shielding wall respectively.

6. The display panel according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first length of the light-shielding wall is configured to be less than 50 um.

7. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein for each light-shielding wall, a spacing of 1 to 25 um is provided between the sub-pixels nearest to the light-shielding wall and the light-shielding wall.

8. The display panel according to claim 1 ,

wherein a thickness of each sub-pixel within the pixel array is configured to be 0.05 to 5 um.

9. The display panel according to claim 1 ,

wherein a third length of each sub-pixel within the pixel array in a transverse direction of the substrate is configured to be 1 to 50 um.

10. The display panel according to claim 1 ,

wherein the light-shielding wall is a Black Matrix wall.

11. The display panel according to claim 1 ,

wherein the light-shielding wall is formed by ink-jet printing onto the substrate.

12. A display device, wherein the display device comprises the display panel according to claim 1 .

13. The display panel according to claim 1 ,

wherein the light-shielding wall is provided outside the pixel array.
