Abstract

A display substrate, a driving method thereof, and a display device. The display substrate includes: a first display sub-region including a plurality of first repeating regions each including a first pixel unit and a second pixel unit disposed adjacently, the first pixel unit including a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, and the second pixel unit including a second sub-pixel and a third sub-pixel; and a second display sub-region including a plurality of second repeating regions each including a third pixel unit and a first transparent pixel, the third pixel unit including a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel and a third sub-pixel; the first transparent pixel is configured such that a pixel density of the second display sub-region is less than a pixel density of the first display sub-region, and a light transmittance of the second display sub-region is greater than a light transmittance of the first display sub-region.

Claims (27)

1. A display substrate, comprising:

a first display sub-region, the first display sub-region comprising a plurality of first repeating regions, at least one first repeating region of the plurality of first repeating regions comprising a first pixel unit and a second pixel unit disposed adjacently, the first pixel unit comprising a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel, the second pixel unit comprising the second sub-pixel and a third sub-pixel; and

a second display sub-region located at at least one side of the first display sub-region, the second display sub-region comprising a plurality of second repeating regions, at least one second repeating region of the plurality of second repeating regions comprising a third pixel unit and a first transparent pixel, the third pixel unit comprising the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel, wherein the first transparent pixel is not provided with a light emitting functional layer and allows ambient light to transmit,

wherein a pixel density of the second display sub-region is less than a pixel density of the first display sub-region, and a light transmittance of ambient light of the second display sub-region is greater than a light transmittance of ambient light of the first display sub-region,

wherein the at least one second repeating region is configured to be driven in a manner in which no sub-pixel is borrowed, and in the third pixel unit, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel are arranged along an extending direction of the third sub-pixel, and

wherein in each of the at least one second repeating region, along a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the third sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel and the first sub-pixel of the third pixel unit are located between the first transparent pixel and the third sub-pixel of the third pixel unit.

2. The display substrate according to claim 1 , wherein in the second display sub-region, the third pixel unit and the first transparent pixel are alternately arranged in a first direction, the third pixel unit and the first transparent pixel are alternately arranged in a second direction, and the first direction and the second direction intersect.

3. The display substrate according to claim 2 , wherein a plurality of first transparent pixels is disposed at both sides of the third pixel unit along the first direction, and is disposed at both sides of the third pixel unit along the second direction.

4. The display substrate according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of first transparent pixels are disposed at both sides of at least one of the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel, or the third sub-pixel of the third pixel unit, along the first direction and along the second direction.

5. The display substrate according to claim 2 , wherein in the second display sub-region, first transparent pixels are continuously arranged in a third direction and a fourth direction, and wherein the third direction and the fourth direction intersect and do not overlap with the first direction and the second direction.

6. The display substrate according to claim 2 , wherein one first transparent pixel is disposed between third pixel units adjacent in the first direction, so as to be configured in a first transparent pixel column, and one first transparent pixel is disposed between third pixel units adjacent in the second direction, so as to be configured in a first transparent pixel row.

12. The display substrate according to claim 1 , wherein an area of the first transparent pixel is greater than that of at least one of one first sub-pixel, one second sub-pixel, or one third sub-pixel in the second display sub-region.

13. The display substrate according to claim 12 , wherein the area of the first transparent pixel is greater than a sum of areas of one first sub-pixel, one second sub-pixel, and one third sub-pixel of the third pixel unit.

14. The display substrate according to claim 1 , wherein connecting lines of centers of the first sub-pixel, the second sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel in at least one third pixel unit are presented as a triangle.

15. The display substrate according to claim 1 , wherein at least one third pixel unit is surrounded by four first transparent pixels, and at least one first transparent pixel is surrounded by four third pixel units.

16. The display substrate according to claim 1 , wherein an area of the first transparent pixel is greater than that of at least one of the first sub-pixel or the second sub-pixel of the first pixel unit, and the area of the first transparent pixel is greater than that of at least one of the second sub-pixel or the third sub-pixel of the second pixel unit.
