Abstract

A display panel and a display device are provided, and the display panel includes a substrate and a pixel layer disposed on the substrate. The pixel layer includes a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array. The display panel includes a main light-transmitting region surrounded by the plurality of pixel units, and an orthographic projection of the main light-transmitting region on the substrate is not overlapped with orthographic projections of the plurality of pixel units on the substrate, so that external light is allowed to pass through the main light-transmitting region of the display panel, and then is received by an image acquisition device disposed on a side of the display panel.

Claims (24)

1. A display panel, comprising:

a substrate; and

a pixel layer disposed on the substrate, the pixel layer comprising a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array,

wherein the display panel comprises a main light-transmitting region surrounded by the plurality of pixel units, and an orthographic projection of the main light-transmitting region on the substrate is not overlapped with orthographic projections of the plurality of pixel units on the substrate, so that external light is allowed to pass through the main light-transmitting region of the display panel, and then is received by an image acquisition device disposed on a side of the display panel;

wherein the display panel further comprises a plurality of auxiliary light-transmitting regions, and the plurality of auxiliary light-transmitting regions surround the main light-transmitting region; and

wherein the plurality of auxiliary light-transmitting regions are arranged evenly and spaced apart from each other, and each auxiliary light-transmitting region is located between adjacent pixel units, and a layer structure in each auxiliary light-transmitting region is made of a transparent material.

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

an electrical control layer between the substrate and the pixel layer, the electrical control layer comprising a metal wiring and a switching element which collectively provide signals for the plurality of pixel units,

wherein the orthographic projection of the main light-transmitting region on the substrate is not overlapped with orthographic projections of both the metal wiring and the switching element on the substrate.

3. The display panel according to claim 2 , wherein the orthographic projection of the main light-transmitting region on the substrate is in a shape of a square or a circle.

4. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein an area of the orthographic projection of the main light-transmitting region on the substrate is less than or equal to 2.25 mm 2 .

5. The display panel according to claim 4 , wherein the area of the orthographic projection of the main light-transmitting region on the substrate is greater than or equal to 2.5×10 5 μm 2 and less than or equal to 1×10 6 μm 2 .

6. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein an orthographic projection of each auxiliary light-transmitting region on the substrate is not overlapped with the orthographic projections of the plurality of pixel units on the substrate.

7. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein an orthographic projection of each auxiliary light-transmitting region on the substrate is not overlapped with the orthographic projections of both the metal wiring and the switching element on the substrate.

8. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein an area of an orthographic projection of each auxiliary light-transmitting region on the substrate is less than or equal to 900 μm 2 .

9. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein an orthographic projection of each auxiliary light-transmitting region on the substrate is in a shape of a square or a circle.

10. The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical control layer further comprises a light-shielding layer, the light-shielding layer is located on a side of the electrical control layer facing the substrate, and the light-shielding layer comprises a main opening and a plurality of auxiliary openings, each of the main opening and the auxiliary openings penetrating the light-shielding layer, and

wherein the orthographic projection of the main light-transmitting region on the substrate coincides with an orthographic projection of the main opening on the substrate, and orthographic projections of the plurality of auxiliary light-transmitting regions on the substrate respectively coincide with orthographic projections of the plurality of auxiliary openings on the substrate.

11. A display device, comprising:

the display panel according to claim 1 ; and

an image acquisition device on the side of the display panel,

wherein an optical axis of the image acquisition device coincides with an axis of the main light-transmitting region perpendicular to the substrate.

12. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein a field of view of the image acquisition device intersects with the display panel to define an area for the field of view on the display panel, the main light-transmitting region is located within the area for the field of view, and the main light-transmitting region is coaxial with the area for the field of view.

13. The display device according to claim 12 , wherein the plurality of auxiliary light-transmitting regions are evenly distributed in the area for the field of view excluding the main light-transmitting region.
