Abstract

The present application provides a display panel. By arranging a plurality of sub-pixels in the display panel into the same pixel opening, the number of pixel openings in the display area can be reduced, and the number of ink droplets that can be sprayed in a single pixel opening can be increased, thereby the risk of color mixing of adjacent sub-pixels can be reduced, and at the same time, the number of times of inkjet printing can be reduced, the time of inkjet printing can be shortened, and the production efficiency can be improved.

Claims (17)

1 . A display panel, comprising a display area, and the display panel further comprises:

a base substrate;

an anode layer disposed on the base substrate, wherein the anode layer comprises a plurality of first anodes, a plurality of second anodes, and a plurality of third anodes;

a pixel definition layer disposed on a side of the anode layer away from the base substrate, wherein the pixel definition layer is provided with a plurality of first pixel openings, a plurality of second pixel openings and a plurality of third pixel openings, each first pixel opening extends from one end of the display area to an opposite end of the display area along a row direction, and second pixel openings of the plurality of second pixel openings and third pixel openings of the plurality of third pixel openings are arranged in a different row than a row with a first pixel opening;

a light-emitting layer respectively disposed in the first pixel openings, the second pixel openings and the third pixel openings; and

a cathode layer disposed on a side of the light-emitting layer away from the base substrate, wherein each first pixel opening is provided with first anodes of the plurality of the first anodes arranged at intervals along the row direction, each second pixel opening is provided with second anodes of the plurality of the second anodes, and each third pixel opening is provided with third anodes of the plurality of the third anodes;

wherein the display area is provided with a plurality of first opening rows and a plurality of second opening rows that are alternately arranged in sequence along a column direction, each first opening row of the plurality of first opening rows is provided with one first pixel opening of the plurality of first pixel openings, and each second opening row of the plurality of second opening rows is provided with second pixel openings of the plurality of second pixel openings and third pixel openings of the plurality of the third pixel openings;

wherein the second pixel openings in any one of the plurality of second opening rows are staggered from the second pixel openings in the adjacent second opening rows, and the third pixel openings in any one of the plurality of second opening rows are staggered from the third pixel openings in the adjacent second opening rows;

wherein a length of the second pixel openings along the row direction is smaller than a length of the third pixel openings along the row direction; centerlines of the first anodes in the adjacent first opening rows are overlapped; and a centerline of each of the first anodes along the column direction is extended through a middle of a horizontal line connecting centers of one of the second anodes adjacent to the first anode and one of the third anodes adjacent to the first anode.

2 . The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the second pixel opening is provided with at least two second anodes arranged at an interval along the column direction, and the third pixel opening is provided with at least two third anodes arranged at an interval along the column direction.

3 . The display panel of claim 1 , wherein a width of the first pixel openings along the column direction is different from a width of the second pixel openings along the column direction, and the width of the first pixel openings along the column direction is different from a width of the third pixel openings along the column direction.

4 . The display panel of claim 3 , wherein the width of the first pixel openings along the column direction is smaller than the width of the second pixel openings along the column direction, and the width of the second pixel openings along the column direction is the same as the width of the third pixel openings along the column direction.

5 . The display panel of claim 1 , wherein a distance between a first pixel opening and an adjacent second pixel opening along the column direction or between the first pixel opening and an adjacent third pixel opening along the column direction is between 10 μm and 16 μm.

6 . The display panel of claim 1 , wherein a distance between a second pixel opening and a third pixel opening adjacent in the row direction is between 15 μm and 25 μm.

7 . The display panel of claim 1 , wherein a color of light emitted by the light emitting layer corresponding to the first pixel openings, a color of light emitted by the light emitting layer corresponding to the second pixel openings, and a color of light emitted by the light emitting layer corresponding to the third pixel openings are different.

8 . The display panel of claim 1 , wherein the display panel further comprises a driving circuit layer, the driving circuit layer is arranged on the base substrate, and the anode layer is arranged on a side of the driving circuit from away from the base substrate,

wherein the driving circuit layer comprises a plurality of thin film transistors, and each first anode of the plurality of first anodes, each second anode of the plurality of the second anodes and each third anode of the plurality of the third anodes are respectively electrically connected to a corresponding different thin film transistor.
