Abstract

A display device is disclosed. The display device comprises an array structure comprising a plurality of primary pixel element structures arranged in a matrix. A primary pixel element structure comprises a plurality of pixel element structures arranged in a second direction. A pixel element structure comprises first, second, and third sub-pixel elements, each comprising a light-emitting region and a light-transmitting region disposed at one side of the light-emitting region and adjacent to the light-emitting region in a first direction, and the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction. When the display device is turned off, a scene on an opposite side of the display device is observed by an observer on either side of the display device, and when the display device is turned on, a scene on the opposite side of the display device is observed by the observer on a side where no light is emitted.

Claims (41)

1. A display device, comprising:

an array structure comprising a plurality of primary pixel element structures arranged in a matrix;

wherein a primary pixel element structure comprises a plurality of pixel element structures arranged in a second direction,

wherein:

the light-transmitting regions of the first, second, and third sub-pixel elements in the pixel element structure are combined to form a pixel light-transmitting region,

when the display device is turned off, a scene on an opposite side of the display device is observed by an observer on either side of the display device, and

when the display device is turned on, a scene on the opposite side of the display device is observed by the observer on a side where no light is emitted.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the pixel light-transmitting regions of the plurality of pixel element structures in the primary pixel element structure are combined to form a primary pixel light-transmitting region.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the pixel light-transmitting region is a continuous light-transmitting region without any light-emitting regions and light-shielding regions.

4. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the primary pixel light-transmitting region is a continuous light-transmitting region without any light-emitting regions and light-shielding regions.

5. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the primary pixel light-transmitting region is arranged as a transparent film layer structure comprising a transparent insulation layer and a transparent organic film layer.

6. The display device according to claim 2 , further comprising a color film substrate disposed opposite to the array structure.

7. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein the color film substrate further comprises:
