Abstract

The present disclosure provides a display screen and a display device. The display screen includes an electrochromic layer located in a blind via area. The electrochromic layer includes a first electrode layer, an electrochromic material layer, and a second electrode layer stacked in sequence. By means of the display screen and the display device of the present disclosure, the blind via area and an under-screen camera can be shielded when a photographing function is disabled, so that the appearance is sightlier, the privacy is protected, and the lighting of the under-screen camera is not affected when the photographing function is enabled.

Claims (35)

1. A display screen, having a blind via area, wherein the display screen comprises:

a first polarizing layer disposed on a light exit side of the display screen, wherein a first opening is provided at a position on the first polarizing layer corresponding to the blind via area; and

an electrochromic layer, wherein at least part of the electrochromic layer is located in the blind via area, the electrochromic layer is disposed in an array substrate of the display screen or disposed in the first opening, and the electrochromic layer comprises:

a first electrode layer;

an electrochromic material layer disposed on the first electrode layer; and

a second electrode layer disposed on a side of the electrochromic material layer away from the first electrode layer;

wherein in the blind via area, the array substrate comprises:

a substrate, wherein the electrochromic layer is disposed on the substrate; and

an alignment layer disposed on a side of the electrochromic layer away from the substrate.

2. The display screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display screen further comprises a cover plate, and the cover plate is disposed on a side of the first polarizing layer away from the display screen.

3. The display screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a second polarizing layer is disposed on a light entry side of the display screen, and a second opening is provided at a position on the second polarizing layer corresponding to the blind via area.

4. A display screen, having a blind via area, wherein the display screen comprises an electrochromic layer, and at least part of the electrochromic layer is located in the blind via area; and

wherein the electrochromic layer comprises:

a first electrode layer;

an electrochromic material layer, disposed on the first electrode layer; and

a second electrode layer, disposed on a side of the electrochromic material layer away from the first electrode layer,

wherein the electrochromic layer is disposed in an array substrate of the display screen, and in the blind via area, the array substrate comprises:

a substrate, wherein the electrochromic layer is disposed on the substrate; and

an alignment layer, disposed on a side of the electrochromic layer away from the substrate.

5. The display screen as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electrochromic layer is disposed on a light exit side of the display screen.

6. The display screen as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a first polarizing layer is disposed on the light exit side of the display screen, a first opening is provided at a position on the first polarizing layer corresponding to the blind via area, and at least part of the electrochromic layer is disposed in the first opening.

7. The display screen as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the display screen further comprises a cover plate, and the cover plate is disposed on a side of the first polarizing layer away from the display screen.

8. The display screen as claimed in claim 4 , wherein a second polarizing layer is disposed on a light entry side of the display screen, and a second opening is provided at a position on the second polarizing layer corresponding to the blind via area.

9. A display device, comprising a display screen and a camera, wherein

the display screen has a blind via area and comprises an electrochromic layer, at least part of the electrochromic layer is located in the blind via area, and the electrochromic layer comprises:

a first electrode layer;

an electrochromic material layer, disposed on the first electrode layer; and

a second electrode layer, disposed on a side of the electrochromic material layer that is away from the first electrode layer, wherein

the camera is located on a light entry side of the display screen and corresponds to the blind via area of the display screen;

wherein the electrochromic layer is disposed in an array substrate of the display screen, and in the blind via area, the array substrate comprises:

a substrate, wherein the electrochromic layer is disposed on the substrate; and

an alignment layer, disposed on a side of the electrochromic layer away from the substrate.

10. The display device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the display device comprises a backlight module located on the light entry side of the display screen, and a third opening is provided at a position on the backlight module corresponding to the blind via area of the display screen.

11. The display device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein at least part of the camera is located in the third opening.

12. The display device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein at least part of the camera is located in the third opening and a second opening.
