Display panel and display apparatus
The present invention provides an irregularly-shaped display panel having a display region with a contour section having a good appearance, which is easily designed and produced. The present invention is a display panel comprising a display region including: an array of a plurality of pixels each constituted by a plurality of sub-pixels; and a plurality of wirings provided along boundaries of the plurality of sub-pixels, wherein a plurality of pixels include a pixel for a contour located in a contour section of the display region; the sub-pixels constituting the pixel for a contour have aperture regions having similar aperture areas to one another and contour lines each running in parallel with a drawing direction of one of the wirings at least on the side of a frame region; and the aperture area of the pixel for a contour is smaller than an aperture area of a pixel located at an inner side of the contour section of the display region.
1. A display panel comprising:
a display region including:
an array of a plurality of pixels each including a plurality of sub-pixels; and
a plurality of wirings provided along boundaries of the plurality of sub-pixels;
wherein the plurality of pixels include a pixel of a contour located in a contour section of the display region;
the sub-pixels included in the pixel of a contour have aperture regions having similar aperture areas to one another and contour lines each running in parallel with a drawing direction of one of the wirings at least on a side of a frame region;
the aperture area of the pixel of a contour is smaller than aperture area of a pixel located at an inner side of the contour section of the display region;
the display panel includes a light-shielding member, the light-shielding member defining an aperture area of each of the sub-pixels included in the pixel of a contour;
the display panel includes a substrate and a wiring layer of a scanning line or a data signal line provided on the substrate; and
the light-shielding member is provided by the same wiring layer as the scanning line or the data signal line.
2. The display panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the sub-pixels included in the pixel of a contour have similar aperture shapes to one another.
3. The display panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the sub-pixels included in the pixel of a contour have different aperture shapes from one another.
4. The display panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the plurality of pixels include a plurality of the pixels of a contour located in a contour section of the display region;
the sub-pixels included in the plurality of pixels of a contour have aperture regions having similar aperture areas to one another in respective pixels of a contour and contour lines each running in parallel with a drawing direction of one of the wirings at least on a side of a frame region; and
aperture areas of the plurality of the pixels of a contour vary stepwise along the contour of the display region.
5. The display panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display panel includes a pixel electrode provided on the substrate, and
the pixel electrode defines the aperture area of each of the sub-pixels included in the pixel of a contour.
