Abstract

Provided are an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) lamp panel and a lighting device. A display region of the lamp panel includes at least one main display region and a display peripheral region. The main display region is regular in shape and is formed by splicing multiple main light-emitting units of the same shape. The display peripheral region consists of a peripheral region I and/or a peripheral region II. The peripheral region I is formed by multiple first peripheral light-emitting units with regular shapes. The display region of the OLED lamp panel is designed to include at least one main display region and a display peripheral region.

Claims (21)

1. A lighting device, comprising:

at least one organic light-emitting diode (OLED) lamp panel; and

a reflective structure, wherein a light-emitting cavity is formed between the reflective structure and the OLED lamp panel, and the reflective structure has at least two reflective mirrors located in the light-emitting cavity;

wherein a display region of the at least one OLED lamp panel comprises:

at least one main display region, which is formed by splicing a plurality of main light-emitting units of a same shape; and

a display peripheral region consisting of a peripheral region I and a peripheral region II, wherein the peripheral region I is formed by a plurality of first peripheral light-emitting units, and the peripheral region II is formed by a plurality of second peripheral light-emitting units;

wherein a shape of each of the plurality of first peripheral light-emitting units is an n-sided polygon, wherein n≥3;

the plurality of first peripheral light-emitting units or the plurality of second peripheral light-emitting units are of the same shape as the plurality of main light-emitting units.

2. The lighting device according to claim 1 , wherein the display region is a planar region and has a light output direction perpendicular to a surface of the display region; and for one reflective mirror of the at least two reflective mirrors, a light projection area ratio of the display region on the one reflective mirror in the light output direction of the display region is greater than or equal to 70%, wherein the light projection area ratio is a proportion of an area of a light projection region of the display region on the one reflective mirror in the light output direction of the display region to an area of the display region.

3. The lighting device according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between adjacent light-emitting units in the display region is D adjacent , and D adjacent <D distinguishable , wherein D distinguishable denotes a distance distinguishable by human eyes and satisfies the following formulas:

D distinguishable =2* L* Sin[(Θ/2)*57.3];

Θ=1.22*λ/2* n*R,

wherein L denotes a minimum distance between a person and a vehicle, λ denotes a main light-emitting wavelength of a main light-emitting unit of the plurality of main light-emitting units, n denotes a refractive index of a human eye pupil, and R denotes a set radius of the human eye pupil.

4. The lighting device according to claim 3 , wherein at least one of a side length of a main light-emitting unit of the plurality of main light-emitting units or a side length of a first peripheral light-emitting unit of the plurality of first peripheral light-emitting units is greater than or equal to 5*D distinguishable .

5. The lighting device according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of a main light-emitting unit of the plurality of main light-emitting units is an n-sided polygon or a graph formed by cutting an n-sided polygon; the main light-emitting unit is formed of any one kind of polygonal pixels or non-polygonal pixels or a combination of two or more kinds of polygonal pixels or non-polygonal pixels; and the main light-emitting unit is composed of at least three adjacent pixels, and driving voltages of the at least three adjacent pixels in the main light-emitting unit are completely different or partially different so that the main light-emitting unit forms a solid lighting pattern.

6. The lighting device according to claim 5 , wherein at least one of a corner of the main light-emitting unit or a corner of the second peripheral light-emitting unit is rounded, and a ratio of an area removed by a rounded corner to an area of a light-emitting unit after the rounded corner is formed is less than or equal to 0.25.

7. The lighting device according to claim 1 , wherein shapes of the plurality of second peripheral light-emitting units comprise at least one of an n-sided polygon or a graph formed by cutting an n-sided polygon.

8. The lighting device according to claim 7 , wherein at least one of a corner of the main light-emitting unit or a corner of the second peripheral light-emitting unit is rounded, and a ratio of an area removed by a rounded corner to an area of a light-emitting unit after the rounded corner is formed is less than or equal to 0.25.

9. The lighting device according to claim 1 , wherein a fractal pattern is formed between the main display region and a main light-emitting unit of the plurality of main light-emitting units.

10. The lighting device according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of at least one of an area of a largest pixel in a second peripheral light-emitting unit of the plurality of second peripheral light-emitting units or an area of a largest pixel in a first peripheral light-emitting unit area of the plurality of first peripheral light-emitting units to an area of a largest pixel in a main light-emitting unit of the plurality of main light-emitting units ranges from 0.8 to 1.2.

11. The lighting device according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of an area of the peripheral region II to an area of the peripheral region I ranges from 0.8 to 1.2.
