Abstract

A touch control structure, and a display panel and a display device using the same are provided. The advantage is that an area of a first region which is blocked by metal wirings extending through the first region is less than an area of a second region which is blocked by metal wirings extending through the second region. Therefore, light transmittance in the first region is larger than light transmittance in the second region. A module that needs sufficient visible light can be disposed on a location corresponding to the first region to improve performance of the module.

Claims (13)

1. A display panel, comprising:

a touch control structure, comprising: a plurality of metal wirings, wherein the metal wirings are disposed crossing each other and are electrically insulated from each other; a plurality of touch electrodes, wherein each metal wiring is electrically connected with corresponding electrodes; at least one first region; and at least one second region disposed outside the first region, wherein at least some of the metal wirings are arcuate to bypass the first region, thereby making a density of the metal wirings extending through the first region less than a density of the metal wirings extending through the second region, and wherein the first region is corresponding to a function module area of the display panel and comprises non-uniformly dispersed light-emitting units; and

a density of the light-emitting units located in the function module area is less than a density of the light-emitting units located in an area outside the function module area, and wherein the metal wirings are disposed at locations corresponding to gaps among the light-emitting units.

2. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein at least some of the metal wirings are curved to bypass the first region, thereby making a density of the metal wirings extending through the first region less than a density of the metal wirings extending through the second region.

3. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein at least some of the curved portions of the metal wirings are disposed symmetrically relative to the first region.

4. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein all of the metal wirings are curved to bypass the first region, thereby making a density of the metal wirings passing through the first region less than a density of the metal wirings passing through the second region.

5. The display panel of claim 1 , wherein a non-light-emitting side of the display panel is provided with a function module, and the function module is corresponding to the function module area.

6. The display panel of claim 5 , wherein the function module is a camera component.

7. A display device, comprising:

the display panel in claim 1 .

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein at least some of the metal wirings are curved to bypass the first region, thereby making a density of the metal wirings extending through the first region less than a density of the metal wirings extending through the second region.

9. The display device of claim 7 , wherein at least some of the curved portion of the metal wirings are disposed symmetrically relative to the first region.

10. The display device of claim 7 , wherein all of the metal wirings are curved to bypass the first region, thereby making a density of the metal wirings extending through the first region less than a density of the metal wirings extending through the second region.
