Abstract

Disclosed is a display panel, which adopts two display screens arranged by splicing. The display screen includes a display area and a non-display area on at least one side of the display area. An LED substrate is disposed on the non-display area. The LED substrate includes a substrate and a light emitting device disposed on the substrate. A cover plate is provided on at least two display screens. A groove is provided on one side of the cover plate close to the LED substrate. A side surface of the substrate is disposed opposite to a groove wall of the groove. A part of the groove wall surface corresponding to the side surface of the substrate is a reflection interface.

Claims (30)

1. A display panel, comprising:

at least two display screens, wherein the at least two display screens are spliced, and each of the at least two display screens comprises a display area and a non-display area located on at least one side of the display area;

light emitting diode (LED) substrates, wherein the LED substrates are disposed on the non-display area, and each of the LED substrates comprises a substrate and a light emitting device disposed on the substrate; and

a cover plate, wherein the cover plate is disposed on the at least two display screens, a groove is formed on a side of the cover plate close to each of the LED substrates, and each of the LED substrates is disposed in the groove;

wherein a side surface of the substrate is disposed opposite to a groove wall of the groove, and a part of a groove wall surface corresponding to the side surface of the substrate is a reflection interface;

wherein at a splicing portion between adjacent two of the display screens, two of the LED substrates correspond to and are disposed on the non-display areas of the adjacent two of the display screens respectively;

wherein the groove comprises a first sub-groove and a second sub-groove that are spaced from each other, the first sub-groove receives one of the LED substrates corresponding to the non-display areas of the adjacent two of the display screens, and the second sub-groove receives the other of the LED substrates corresponding to the non-display areas of the adjacent two of the display screens.

2. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the reflection interface is a smooth groove wall surface.

3. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein there is a medium between the groove wall surface and each of the LED substrates, a refractive index of the cover plate is greater than a refractive index of the medium, and the groove wall surface and the medium form the reflection interface.

4. The display panel of claim 3 , wherein the medium comprises air or a transparent solid material.

5. The display panel of claim 4 , wherein in two adjacent display screens, there is a gap between the two display screens, and each of the LED substrates is disposed on the two adjacent display screens and blocks the gap.

6. The display panel of claim 5 , wherein the groove and the gap are arranged overlappingly.

7. The display panel of claim 5 , wherein the transparent solid material fills the gap.

8. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein a resolution of each of the LED substrates is same as a resolution of each of the at least two display screens.

9. A display panel, comprising:

at least two display screens, wherein the at least two display screens are spliced, and each of the at least two display screens comprises a display area and a non-display area located on at least one side of the display area;

light emitting diode (LED) substrates, wherein the LED substrates are disposed on the non-display area, and each of the LED substrates comprises a substrate and a light emitting device disposed on the substrate; and

a cover plate, wherein the cover plate is disposed on the at least two display screens, a groove is formed on a side of the cover plate close to each of the LED substrates, and each of the LED substrates is disposed in the groove;

wherein a side surface of the substrate is disposed opposite to a groove wall of the groove, and a part of a groove wall surface corresponding to the side surface of the substrate is a reflection interface;

wherein a resolution of each of the LED substrates is same as a resolution of each of the at least two display screens;

wherein the reflection interface is a smooth groove wall surface;

wherein at a splicing portion between adjacent two of the display screens, two of the LED substrates correspond to and are disposed on the non-display areas of the adjacent two of the display screens respectively;

wherein the groove comprises a first sub-groove and a second sub-groove that are spaced from each other, the first sub-groove receives one of the LED substrates corresponding to the non-display areas of the adjacent two of the display screens, and the second sub-groove receives the other of the LED substrates corresponding to the non-display areas of the adjacent two of the display screens.

10. The display panel of claim 9 , wherein there is a medium between the groove wall surface and each of the LED substrates, a refractive index of the cover plate is greater than a refractive index of the medium, and the groove wall surface and the medium form the reflection interface.

11. The display panel of claim 10 , wherein the medium comprises air or a transparent solid material.

12. The display panel of claim 11 , wherein in two adjacent display screens, there is a gap between the two display screens, and each of the LED substrates is disposed on the two adjacent display screens and blocks the gap.

13. The display panel of claim 12 , wherein the groove and the gap are arranged overlappingly.

14. The display panel of claim 12 , wherein the transparent solid material fills the gap.

15. The display panel of claim 9 , wherein the light emitting device comprises a sub-millimeter light emitting diode or a micrometer light emitting diode.

16. The display panel of claim 9 , wherein each of the at least two display screens comprises a liquid crystal display screen or an LED direct-display display screen.
