Abstract

The present application relates to a display screen and an electronic device. The display screen comprises a first display area for arranging a front device, wherein the first display area is provided with a first type of light-emitting unit; the first type of light-emitting unit comprises a pixel area and an electrochromic light transmittance material disposed around the pixel area; the electrochromic light transmittance material exhibits a light absorption property when being energized; and the electrochromic light transmittance material exhibits a light transmission property when not being energized. In addition, the present application also relates to an electronic device comprising the above-mentioned display screen.

Claims (28)

1. A display screen comprising:

a first display region;

a first-type light-emitting unit provided in the first display region, the first-type light-emitting unit comprising a pixel region and an electro-variable light transmittance material located on a periphery of the pixel region, the electro-variable light transmittance material being light absorbable during a power on process, and the electro-variable light transmittance material being light transmissive during a power off process; and

a second display region different from the first display region, wherein a second-type light-emitting unit is located in the second display region, the second-type light-emitting unit includes a pixel region and a pixel-defining layer located on a periphery of the pixel region, and the second-type light-emitting unit does not contain the electro-variable light transmittance material.

2. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the electro-variable light transmittance material forms a pixel-defining layer of the first-type light-emitting unit.

3. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the electro-variable light transmittance material is less than a thickness of a pixel-defining layer in the pixel region.

4. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein in the first-type light-emitting unit, a transparent pixel-defining layer is provided on the electro-variable light transmittance material.

5. The display screen according to claim 4 , wherein a thickness of the electro-variable light transmittance material is about 1 μm to about 3 μm, and a thickness of the pixel-defining layer is about 3 μm to about 5 μm.

6. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein:

a pixel-defining layer is provided on the periphery of the pixel region,

the electro-variable light transmittance material is embedded in the pixel-defining layer,

the display screen comprises a conductive layer located under the first-type light-emitting unit, and

the electro-variable light transmittance material is in contact with the conductive layer.

7. The display screen according to claim 6 , wherein the electro-variable light transmittance material is located between the pixel-defining layer and the pixel region.

8. The display screen according to claim 6 , wherein the electro-variable light transmittance material is formed as a strip, a ratio of a width of the strip to the width of the pixel-defining layer is between 1:2 and 3:4.

9. The display screen according to claim 8 , wherein a width of the strip is about 4 μm to about 10 μm.

10. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein a polarizer is not provided above the first display region in the display screen.

11. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the electro-variable light transmittance material is one selected from the group consisting of polyaniline, polythiophene, and polythiophene derivative.

12. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the electro-variable light transmittance material is 1,3-dimethylpolythiophene or 1,4-p-dimethylpolythiophene.

13. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the electro-variable light transmittance material is one selected from the group consisting of tungsten oxide, titanium oxide, and nickel oxide.

14. The display screen according to claim 1 , wherein the electro-variable light transmittance material is arranged closely adjacent to the pixel region of the first-type light-emitting unit.

15. The display screen according to claim 14 , wherein the pixel-defining layer of the first-type light-emitting unit is adjacent to a side of the pixel region, and a cross-sectional shape of the pixel region of the first-type light-emitting unit is defined as an inverted trapezoid.

16. The display screen according to claim 14 , wherein a thickness of the pixel-defining layer of the first-type light-emitting unit is substantially 4 μm to substantially 8 μm.

17. An electronic device, comprising a display screen and an under-screen photosensitive module capable of sensing light incident through the display screen, wherein the display screen comprising:

a first display region for arranging a front device,

a first-type light-emitting unit being provided in the first display region, the first-type light-emitting unit comprising a pixel region and an electro-variable light transmittance material located on a periphery of the pixel region, and the electro-variable light transmittance material being light absorbable during a powered on process, and being light transmissive during a power off process; and

a second display region different from the first display region, wherein a second-type light-emitting unit is located in the second display region, the second-type light-emitting unit includes a pixel region and a pixel-defining layer located on a periphery of the pixel region, and the second-type light-emitting unit does not contain the electro-variable light transmittance material.

18. The electronic device according to claim 17 , wherein the under-screen photosensitive module is a photoelectric sensor or a camera.
