Abstract

A display panel and a display apparatus thereof are provided. An exemplary display panel includes a display region and a non-display region surrounding the display region. The non-display region includes at least one first groove and a bonding region. Along a thickness direction of the display panel, the at least one first groove penetrates through the display panel. The at least one first groove and the bonding region are disposed at a same side of the display region.

Claims (58)

1. A display panel, comprising:

a display region including a first side and an opposite second side; and

a non-display region surrounding the display region, the non-display region including a third side and an opposite fourth side along an outer edge of the display panel, and the fourth side of the non-display region being in parallel with the second side of the display region,

wherein:

the non-display region includes at least one first groove and a bonding region, both the at least one first groove and the bonding region being adjacently disposed, side-by-side along a first direction parallel with the second side of the display region, between the second side of the display region and the fourth side of the non-display region, the at least one first groove being enclosed by the non-display region, the at least one first groove not overlapping with the bonding region in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the display panel, and the bonding region being bonded with one of an integrated circuit and a flexible circuit board on the bonding region,

along a thickness direction of the display panel, the at least one first groove penetrates through the display panel,

one or more hardware units are installed in a region where the at least one first groove is located,

the at least one first groove and the bonding region are disposed at a same side of the display region, and

the non-display region of the display panel further includes a second groove, the second groove including a fingerprint identification unit and being at least partially enclosed by the display region of the display panel.

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

along the thickness direction of the display panel, the second groove penetrates through the display panel; and

the fingerprint identification unit is disposed in the second groove.

3. The display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a base substrate and a plurality of film layers disposed on the base substrate,

wherein:

along the thickness direction of the display panel, the second groove penetrates through at least a portion of a film layer, and

the fingerprint identification unit is disposed in a region of the display panel where the second groove is disposed.

4. The display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first border,

wherein:

the first border is recessed towards inside of the display panel to form the second groove; and

the second groove is partially enclosed by the display region.

5. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein:

the second groove is completely disposed at the display region.

6. The display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first border and a second border arranged opposite to each other along the first direction,

wherein:

a distance between the second groove and the first border is d1,

a distance between the second groove and the second border is d2, and d1<d2, d1>0, and d2>0.

7. The display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising:

the bonding region is a stripe-shaped region extending along the first direction; and

the bonding region has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to the first side along the first direction.

8. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein:

the bonding region extends along a first direction;

along the first direction, a width of the display region is D1, and a width of the first groove is D2; and

20%*D1<D2<60%*D1.

9. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein:

the at least one first groove has one of a circular, an elliptical and a quadrangular shape.

10. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein:

the second groove has one of a circular, an elliptical and a quadrangular shape.

11. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein:

the fingerprint identification unit includes a plurality of fingerprint identification electrodes or a plurality of optical sensitive diodes.

12. A display apparatus, comprising:

a display panel,

wherein the display panel comprises:

a display region including a first side and an opposite second side, and

a non-display region surrounding the display region, the non-display region including a third side and an opposite fourth side along an outer edge of the display panel, and the fourth side of the non-display region being in parallel with the second side of the display region,

wherein:

the non-display region includes at least one first groove and a bonding region, both the at least one first groove and the bonding region being adjacently disposed, side-by-side along a first direction parallel with the second side of the display region, between the second side of the display region and the fourth side of the non-display region, the at least one first groove being enclosed by the non-display region, the at least one first groove not overlapping with the bonding region in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the display panel, and the bonding region being bonded with one of an integrated circuit and a flexible circuit board on the bonding region,

along a thickness direction of the display panel, the at least one first groove penetrates through the display panel,

one or more hardware units are installed in a region where the at least one first groove is located,

the at least one first groove and the bonding region are disposed at a same side of the display region, and

the non-display region of the display panel further includes a second groove, the second groove including a fingerprint identification unit and being at least partially enclosed by the display region of the display panel.

13. The display apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein:

the one or more hardware units include at least one of a camera and a headphone.

14. The display apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein:

the bonding region is a stripe-shaped region extending along the first direction; and
