Abstract

The disclosure provides a transparent display device including a display panel. The display panel includes a display area, a non-display area, and a plurality of pixels. The non-display area is adjacent to the display area. The plurality of pixels are disposed in the display area. A difference between a transmittance of the display area and a transmittance of the non-display area is less than 30% of the transmittance of the display area.

Claims (22)

1. A transparent display device, comprising:

a display panel comprising a display area, a non-display area adjacent to the display area, and a plurality of pixels disposed in the display area,

wherein a difference between a transmittance of the display area and a transmittance of the non-display area is less than 30% of the transmittance of the display area,

a frame, wherein the display panel is hidden inside the frame in a first state and is partially exposed outside the frame in a second state; and

a driving element electrically connected to the plurality of the pixels, wherein the driving element is hidden inside the frame in both the first state and the second state.

2. The transparent display device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame is partially overlapped with the display panel.

3. The transparent display device according to claim 2 , wherein the display area is partially overlapped with the frame.

4. The transparent display device according to claim 1 , wherein the driving element comprises a data driving element, a gate driving element or a combination thereof.

5. The transparent display device according to claim 4 , wherein each of the data driving element and the gate driving element includes a driving circuit.

6. The transparent display device according to claim 1 , wherein the driving element comprises a driving carrier board and a connecting element.

7. The transparent display device according to claim 6 , wherein the driving carrier board is bonded to the display panel through the connecting element.

8. The transparent display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display panel comprises a substrate, a display element and a protection layer.

9. The transparent display device according to claim 8 , further comprising a carrier overlapping the display panel.

10. The transparent display device according to claim 8 , wherein the display panel further comprises a touch element or a sensing element.

11. The transparent display device according to claim 8 , wherein the protection layer covers the plurality of pixels.

12. The transparent display device according to claim 1 , wherein the driving element is further electrically connected to a data connection line and a scan connection line, wherein the date connection line and the scan connection line are electrically connected to the driving element and are overlapped with the frame.

13. The transparent display device according to claim 12 , wherein the data connection line and the scan connection line are partially overlapped.

14. The transparent display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a carrier, wherein an area of the display panel is smaller than or equal to an area of the carrier.

15. The transparent display device according to claim 14 , wherein the display panel is disposed on the carrier.

16. The transparent display device according to claim 14 , wherein the driving element is disposed on the carrier.

17. The transparent display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display area is at least partially exposed outside the frame in the second state.

18. The transparent display device according to claim 1 , wherein the non-display area is partially overlapped with the frame.
