Abstract

A display panel includes two first sub-pixels and two second sub-pixels which are connected as a first virtual quadrilateral. Each of the two first sub-pixels includes a first subordinate sub-pixel and a second subordinate sub-pixel facing to each other and spaced apart from each other. One of two first vertices of the first virtual quadrilateral being located between the first subordinate sub-pixel and the second subordinate sub-pixel of one of the two first sub-pixels, the other one of the two first vertices being located between the first subordinate sub-pixel and the second subordinate sub-pixel of another one of the two first sub-pixels. Two second sub-pixels are respectively located at two second vertices of the first virtual quadrilateral. The two first vertices and the two second vertices are alternately arranged and spaced apart from each other. The display panel includes a third sub-pixel located within the first virtual quadrilateral.

Claims (45)

wherein each of the at least two first sub-pixels comprises a first subordinate sub-pixel and a second subordinate sub-pixel facing to each other and spaced apart from each other;

wherein one of two first vertices of the first virtual quadrilateral is located between the first subordinate sub-pixel and the second subordinate sub-pixel of one of the at least two first sub-pixels;

wherein the other one of the two first vertices of the first virtual quadrilateral being is located between the first subordinate sub-pixel and the second subordinate sub-pixel of another one of the at least two first sub-pixels;

wherein the two first vertices and the two second vertices being are alternately arranged and spaced apart from each other; and

wherein the third sub-pixel is located within the first virtual quadrilateral;

wherein a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of light emitted from the first subordinate sub-pixel is different from that of light emitted from the second subordinate sub-pixel;

wherein a center of the third sub-pixel deviates from a center of the first virtual quadrilateral; and

wherein in a row direction or a column direction, the first virtual quadrilateral has a first side and a second side opposite to each other, a length of the first side is less than a length of the second side, and the first side is parallel to the second side;

wherein in a same first virtual quadrilateral, the first subordinate sub-pixel and the second subordinate sub-pixel respectively belong to two first sub-pixels, and are the closest pair of first and second subordinate sub-pixels respectively belonging to two first sub-pixels in a same first virtual quadrilateral, a minimum distance between the first subordinate sub-pixel adjacent to the second side and the third sub-pixel being greater than a minimum distance between the second subordinate sub-pixel adjacent to the first side and the third sub-pixel.

2 . The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first subordinate sub-pixel and the second subordinate sub-pixel of a same first sub-pixel are respectively electrically connected to different pixel circuits.

3 . The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first subordinate sub-pixel and the second subordinate sub-pixel, which are respectively belonged to two first sub-pixels and closest to each other, are electrically connected to a same pixel circuit.

4 . The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein the first subordinate sub-pixel and the second subordinate sub-pixel of a same first sub-pixel are electrically connected to a same pixel circuit.

5 . The display panel according to claim 4 , wherein each of the first subordinate sub-pixel and the second subordinate sub-pixel comprises:

wherein the first sub-pixels, the second sub-pixels, and the third sub-pixel are all disposed on the planarization layer; and

wherein a distance between a part of an upper surface of the planarization layer corresponding to the first subordinate sub-pixel and the substrate is different from a distance between another part of the upper surface of the planarization layer corresponding to the second subordinate sub-pixel and the substrate.

8 . The display panel according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of first virtual quadrilaterals, and the plurality of first virtual quadrilaterals are arranged to form an array in a manner of sharing sides.

9 . The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein a midpoint of a line connecting centers of the first subordinate sub-pixel and the second subordinate sub-pixel of a same first sub-pixel is located at one of the first vertices of the first virtual quadrilateral.

10 . The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein a midpoint of a line connecting centers of the first subordinate sub-pixel and the second subordinate sub-pixel of a same first sub-pixel coincides with one of the first vertices.

11 . The display panel according to claim 1 , wherein one of two opposite inner angles of the first virtual quadrilateral is less than 90°, and the other one of the two opposite inner angles is greater than 90°.

12 . The display panel according to claim 11 , wherein a midpoint of a line connecting centers of the first subordinate sub-pixel and the second subordinate sub-pixel in one of the at least two first sub-pixels is a first midpoint;

wherein a midpoint of a line connecting centers of the first subordinate sub-pixel and the second subordinate sub-pixel in another one of the at least two first sub-pixels is a second midpoint; and

wherein in a same first virtual quadrilateral, a distance between a center of the third sub-pixel and any one of the first midpoint and the second midpoint is not equal to a distance between the center of the third sub-pixel and any one of centers of the at least two second sub-pixels.

13 . The display panel according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of first virtual quadrilaterals arranged to form an array in a manner of sharing sides.

14 . The display panel according to claim 12 , wherein in the row direction or the column direction, any two first virtual quadrilaterals sharing the first side or the second side forms a group;
