Abstract

A display screen and a display apparatus. The display screen includes a first region and a second region. The first region has a physical pixel density smaller than that of the second region. By providing a first region and a second region and having a greater physical pixel density in the second region than that in the first region, light can transmit through the gap between the pixels in the first region configured to house the under-screen photosensitive module such as a camera and the like, so as to achieve a high light transmittance and therefore to achieve an entire screen or full screen display. A non-display region above the active display region can be omitted and the screen-to-body ratio is increased, user experience is optimized and thus the technical problem of unfavorable user experience due to the presence of the non-display region is addressed.

Claims (26)

1. A display screen comprises a first region and a second region, wherein:

the first region is configured as an auxiliary display region and characterized by a first color pixel pattern;

the second region is configured as a main display region and characterized by a second color pixel pattern;

the first region has a physical pixel density smaller than that of the second region;

the first region is distributed with second-type light-emitting units; and the second-type light-emitting units are distributed in a shape of a pair of triangles having a common vertex;

the second-type light-emitting unit includes one of the first sub-pixel, two of the second sub-pixels, two of the third sub-pixel, in the second-type light-emitting unit, the first sub-pixel is a red sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel is a green sub-pixel, the third sub-pixel is a blue sub-pixel, the one red sub-pixel is located at the common vertex of the pair of triangles, and the two green sub-pixels and the two blue sub-pixels are respectively located at remaining vertices of the pair of triangles, the respective vertices of each of the triangles demonstrates different sub-pixels; and

with respect to the sub-pixels arranged in the first region, in a lateral direction, the blue sub-pixels are arranged in a plurality of row groups, each of the plurality of row groups has two rows between a row of red sub-pixel and a row of green sub-pixels, and a distance between the adjacent row groups is greater than a distance between the row of red sub-pixels and the row of green sub-pixels; and in a longitudinal direction, a plurality of identical column groups are arranged, each of the plurality of column groups comprises a first column in GBGB form, a second column in BRBR form, and a third column being distributed with only green sub-pixels, and a distance between the adjacent column groups is greater than a distance between pixel columns within one of the plurality of column group.

2. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the first region has a light-emitting unit different from a light-emitting unit of the second region;

the light-emitting unit in the first region comprises at least a first sub-pixel, at least a second sub-pixel, and at least a third sub-pixel; a number of at least one sub-pixel of the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, and the third sub-pixel is different from the numbers of the other two sub-pixels.

3. The display screen according to claim 2 , wherein the first region has a first plurality of light-emitting units; and the second region has a second plurality of light-emitting units.

4. The display screen according to claim 3 , wherein the first region is distributed with a plurality of first-type light-emitting units; and the first-type light-emitting units are arranged in a shape of a pair of triangles sharing a common side.

5. The display screen according to claim 2 , wherein the light-emitting unit distributed in the second region comprises a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel.

6. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the first region has a pixel unit density smaller than that of the second region.

7. The display screen according to claim 6 , wherein the first region has minimum repeating units comprising one pixel unit and one first blank region, and the first blank region is capable of carrying one pixel unit.

8. The display screen according to claim 6 , wherein the first region has minimum repeating units comprising two pixel units and one second blank region, and the second blank region is capable of carrying two pixel units.

9. The display screen according to claim 7 , wherein the minimum repeating units distributed in two adjacent rows or columns are misaligned with each other.

10. The display screen according to claim 7 , wherein:

the pixel unit in the first region comprises two red sub-pixels, two green sub-pixels, and two blue sub-pixels, as a whole, in a longitudinal direction, the sub-pixels in the first region are arranged as a plurality of identical column groups, each of the plurality of column groups comprises a first column in a BRG unit repeating form and a second column in an RGB unit repeating form, a longitudinal distance between adjacent BRG units in the first column is greater than a longitudinal distance between the sub-pixels within the BRG unit, a longitudinal distance between adjacent RGB units in the second column is greater than a longitudinal distance between the sub-pixels within the RGB units, and a distance between adjacent column groups is greater than a distance between pixel columns within one of the plurality of column group; and

the pixel unit in the second region comprises one red sub-pixel, one green sub-pixel, and one blue sub-pixel.

11. A method of driving a display screen, comprising:

receiving a driving signal;

determining whether a sub-pixel correspondingly driven by the driving signal is in a first region or a second region of the display screen, wherein the first region has a physical pixel density smaller than that of the second region;

modifying the driving signal according to a preset manner when the sub-pixel correspondingly driven by the driving signal is in the first region;

driving a corresponding sub-pixel in the first region by using a modified driving signal; and

driving a corresponding sub-pixel in the second region by using the driving signal when the sub-pixel correspondingly driven by the driving signal is in the second region.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the driving signal is modified by an arithmetic average or a weighted average.
