Abstract

A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes a display area and a peripheral area. The display area includes a first display sub-area and a second display sub-area. The second display sub-area has a subpixel distribution density lower than a subpixel distribution density of the first display sub-area. The display apparatus further includes an antenna, a touch structure, and a display module. The antenna includes a radiating plate, a feed line, a ground plate, and a slot extending through at least the ground plate. The radiating plate, the feed line, the ground plate, and the slot are at least partially in the second display sub-area and outside the first display sub-area.

Claims (53)

1. A display apparatus, comprising a display area and a peripheral area;

wherein the display area comprises a first display sub-area and a second display sub-area;

the second display sub-area has a subpixel distribution density lower than a subpixel distribution density of the first display sub-area;

the display apparatus further comprises an antenna, a touch structure, and a display module;

the antenna comprises a radiating plate, a feed line, a ground plate, and a slot extending through at least the ground plate; and

the radiating plate, the feed line, the ground plate, and the slot are at least partially in the second display sub-area and outside the first display sub-area.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the subpixel distribution density in the second display sub-area to the subpixel distribution density in the first display sub-area is less than 1:1.5.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a minimum repeating unit in the second display sub-area includes one pixel and one or more dummy pixels;

the one pixel comprises one or more subpixels; and

a respective dummy pixel of the one or more dummy pixels comprises one or more dummy subpixels.

4. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein subpixels in the one pixel in the minimum repeating unit have a different arrangement from subpixels in a pixel in the first display sub-area.

5. The display apparatus of claim 3 , wherein dummy subpixels in the respective dummy pixel in the minimum repeating unit have a different arrangement from subpixels in a pixel in the first display sub-area.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the touch structure comprises an effective touch area and a peripheral touch area; and

the radiating plate, the feed line, and the slot are at least partially in the peripheral touch area.

7. The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the touch structure comprises a plurality of touch electrodes in the effective touch area; and

an orthographic projection of the radiating plate on a base substrate is substantially non-overlapping with an orthographic projection of the plurality of touch electrodes on the base substrate.

8. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a first power supply terminal and a second power supply terminal;

wherein the first power supply terminal and the second power supply terminal are electrically isolated from each other;

the first power supply terminal is configured to output a first power supply signal;

the second power supply terminal is configured to output a second power supply signal; and

the first power supply signal being different from the second power supply signal.

9. The display apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising a first power supply signal line and a second power supply signal line;

wherein the first power supply signal line is connected to the first power supply terminal, and is configured to transmit the first power supply signal to pixel driving circuits in the first display sub-area;

the second power supply signal line is connected to the second power supply terminal, and is configured to transmit the second power supply signal to pixel driving circuits in the second display sub-area;

the pixel driving circuits in the first display sub-area are configured to drive light emission in light emitting elements in the first display sub-area at least partially based on the first power supply signal; and

the pixel driving circuits in the second display sub-area are configured to drive light emission in light emitting elements in the second display sub-area at least partially based on the second power supply signal.

10. The display apparatus of claim 1 , comprises:

a heat dissipation structure;

the ground plate on the heat dissipation structure;

a base substrate on a side of the ground plate away from the heat dissipation structure;

the display module on a side of the base substrate away from the ground plate;

the touch structure on a side of the display module away from the base substrate; and

the radiating plate of the antenna on a side of the touch structure away from the display module.

11. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the radiating plate is a metal mesh radiating plate.

12. The display apparatus of claim 11 , further comprising an auxiliary metal mesh substantially surrounding the radiating plate;

wherein the radiating plate and the auxiliary metal mesh are spaced apart from each other by a transition area; and

the auxiliary metal mesh comprises discontinuous line segments.

13. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the feed line comprises a main feed line and a metal plate at least partially in the second display sub-area and outside the first display sub-area.

14. The display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the main feed line comprises a horizontal-polarized feed line and a vertical-polarized feed line;

the vertical-polarized feed line and the metal plate are in the same layer; and

the horizontal-polarized feed line is in a layer on a side of the vertical-polarized feed line and the metal plate closer to the radiating plate.

15. The display apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the main feed line comprises a horizontal-polarized feed line and a vertical-polarized feed line;

the vertical-polarized feed line and the horizontal-polarized feed line are in a same layer; and

the horizontal-polarized feed line comprises a bridge crossing over the vertical-polarized feed line.

16. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the slot has a double-H cross shape.

17. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the radiating plate has a rectangular shape with a butterfly tie-shaped slot, a rectangular shape with a Maltese cross-shaped slot, or a rectangular shape with a cross-shaped slot.

18. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

an optically clear adhesive layer on a side of the radiating plate and the touch structure away from the display module;

a second radiating plate on a side of the optically clear adhesive layer away from the touch structure;

a polarizer on a side of the optically clear adhesive layer and the second radiating plate away from the touch structure; and

a second optically clear adhesive layer on a side of the polarizer away from the optically clear adhesive layer.

19. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein an orthographic projection of the radiating plate on a base substrate is non-overlapping with an orthographic projection of a subpixel in the second display sub-area on the base substrate.

20. The display apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the orthographic projection of the radiating plate on the base substrate is at least partially overlapping with an orthographic projection of a dummy subpixel in the second display sub-area on the base substrate.
