The display panel 1 has a first display region 1-1, a first protrusion 103, the first display region 1-1 including a first sub-pixel unit P1, a projection of the first protrusion 103 in a direction perpendicular to the display panel 1 being located at least on one side of a first electrode region 10 of the first sub-pixel unit P1, as shown in fig. 2, the projection of the first protrusion 103 being located at upper and lower sides of the first electrode region 10 of the first sub-pixel unit P1.
According to the invention, the first protruding part 103 is arranged at least on one side of the first electrode area 10 of the first sub-pixel unit P1 in the first display area 1-1, namely, the protruding part is arranged at least on one side of the area where the plurality of branch electrodes are arranged and the area where the gaps between the plurality of branch electrodes are arranged in the pixel electrode PE of the first sub-pixel unit P1, and the protruding part occupies part of the liquid crystal filling area, so that the liquid crystal amount of the first display area 1-1 is reduced, and as light can scatter through liquid crystal molecules, the liquid crystal amount is reduced, namely, the scattering amount of the first display area light through the liquid crystal molecules is reduced, so that the black state brightness of the first display area 1-1 is reduced, the black state brightness of the liquid crystal molecules is the brightness of the display area under the drive of an electric field, and the contrast of the first display area 1-1 is further improved, namely, the visual angle performance of the first display area 1-1 is improved, when the first display area 1-1 is positioned in the area far away from a viewer on a screen, namely, the contrast of the first display area 1-1 is larger, the contrast of the viewer is reduced, the viewer is far from the area on the screen, and the viewer is far from the viewer, the viewer is better than the viewer, the viewer is able to see the area on the screen, and the viewer is better experience.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, fig. 3 is an enlarged schematic view of the S1 region and S2 region of the display panel of fig. 1; on the basis of the above, the display panel 1 further has a second display area 1-2, a second protrusion 203, and the second display area 1-2 includes a second sub-pixel unit P2, and the projection of the second protrusion 203 is located on at least one side of the first electrode region 10 of the second sub-pixel unit P2 in the direction perpendicular to the display panel 1, and as shown in fig. 3, the projection of the second protrusion 203 is located on both sides of the first electrode region 10 of the second sub-pixel unit P2.
And the first electrode region 10 of the first sub-pixel unit P1 points to the direction of the area where the first protrusion 103 projects, as shown in fig. 3, when the projection of the first protrusion 103 is located on the upper and lower sides of the first electrode region 10 of the first sub-pixel unit P1, the direction may be the second direction Y, and the projection of the first protrusion 103 has the first width H1; referring to fig. 3 again, if the projection of the second protrusion 203 is located on the upper and lower sides of the first electrode region 10 of the second sub-pixel unit P2, the direction may also be the second direction Y, and the projection of the second protrusion 203 has the second width H2; the second display area 1-2 is farther from the experimenter than the first display area 1-1, for example, when the experimenter views the first display area 1-1, the viewing angle range is within 30 °, and when the experimenter views the second display area 1-2, the viewing angle range is greater than 30 °, and then the first width H1 is less than the second width H2.
By arranging the second protruding portion 203 on at least one side of the first electrode region 10 of the second sub-pixel unit P2 in the second display area 1-2, and the width of the second protruding portion 203 is larger than the width of the first protruding portion 103 in the first display area 1-1, the second display area 1-2 is farther away from the experimenter than the first display area 1-1, that is, when the experimenter views the screen, the viewing angle range of the first display area 1-1 is smaller than that of the second display area 1-2, the width of the second protruding portion 203 is larger than the width of the first protruding portion 103, that is, the larger the width of the protruding portion on the display area far away from the experimenter on the screen is, and optionally, the larger the area of the protruding portion on the screen is also, the second display area 1-2 is larger than the first display area 1-1, that is occupied by the protruding portion is larger, that is, when the second display area 1-2 is relatively smaller than the first display area 1-1, the liquid crystal amount is smaller, the viewing angle range is smaller than the second display area 1-2 is smaller, the liquid crystal is able, the more light scattering is able, the better contrast is able, and the better contrast is able to be obtained, and the more contrast is better is able to get far from the experimenter on the dark state, and the experimenter is able on the viewer is better contrast is able, and the contrast is better is able.
It should be noted that, according to the visual angle of the experimenter, that is, the viewing angle requirement, the contrast ratio to be achieved in the different areas (the areas with different viewing angle requirements) away from the experimenter on the screen may be determined, so that the number of sub-pixel units P with the convex portions in the areas may be determined, that is, alternatively, the sub-pixel units P located in the first display area 1-1 and the second display area 1-2 may include the convex portions, or all the sub-pixel units P may include the convex portions, which is not limited in the present invention. The projection of the protruding part on the vertical display panel 1 can cover part of the non-light-transmitting area 101, and can extend from the non-light-transmitting area 101 to the light-transmitting area 102, and the protruding part can transmit light and can not transmit light; since the horizontal electric field generated between the pixel electrode PE and the common electrode (not shown) at the edge positions of the light-transmitting region 102 and the non-light-transmitting region 101 is weak, the protruding portion occupies the edge portion of the light-transmitting region 102 and does not have a great influence on the brightness when displaying high gray scale (e.g., 200 gray scale or more), but it can reduce the brightness when in the black state, thereby improving the area contrast.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, fig. 4 is another enlarged schematic view of the S1 region and S2 region of the display panel of fig. 1, and fig. 5 is yet another enlarged schematic view of the S1 region and S2 region of the display panel of fig. 1; based on the above, the first electrode 10 of the first sub-pixel unit P1 is set as the first sub-electrode region 11, and the first electrode region 10 of the second sub-pixel unit is set as the second sub-electrode region 12; the projection of the first protrusion 103 is located at the same side of the first sub-electrode area 11 in the second direction Y in the direction perpendicular to the display panel 1, and the first protrusion 102 extends in the first direction X; the projection of the second protrusion 203 is located on the same side of the second sub-electrode region 12 in the second direction Y, and the second protrusion 102 extends in the first direction X.
The first protrusion 103 and the second protrusion 203 are disposed on the same side of the first electrode region 10 of the sub-pixel unit P along the second direction Y, and for the protrusion, since the width of the non-light-transmitting region 101 between two adjacent sub-pixel units P along the second direction Y is larger, the width of the protrusion along the second direction Y is also larger, thereby facilitating the process preparation of the protrusion on the one hand and facilitating the uniform arrangement of the display panel 1 on the other hand; the first protrusion 103 and the second protrusion 203 are disposed to extend in the first direction X so as to occupy a filling area of the liquid crystal to a greater extent, thereby further reducing the amount of scattering of light through the liquid crystal, obtaining lower black brightness, and thus obtaining higher contrast.
As shown in fig. 5, the first protruding portion 103 extends along the first direction X in the first display area 1-1 and penetrates through the sub-pixel unit area 100 of the first sub-pixel unit P1 in the same row, the second protruding portion 203 extends along the first direction X in the second display area 1-2 and penetrates through the sub-pixel unit area 100 of the second sub-pixel unit P2 in the same row, and the first protruding portion 103 and the second protruding portion 203 are provided in a strip shape and penetrate through at least part of the sub-pixel unit area 100 in the display area, so that, on one hand, the process preparation of the protruding portion is facilitated, the stripping and dropping of the protruding portion is prevented, and on the other hand, the alignment problem in the first direction X does not exist in the preparation, and on the other hand, the uniform arrangement of the display panel 1 is facilitated, so that the filling area of the liquid crystal can be occupied to a large extent, and therefore the scattering amount of light passing through the liquid crystal can be further reduced, the lower black state brightness can be obtained, and further the higher contrast ratio can be obtained.
For the specific arrangement of the length of the protruding portion along the first direction X, or for arranging at least part of the sub-pixel unit area 100 of the display area where the protruding portion penetrates through the protruding portion, the portion can determine the contrast ratio to be achieved in different areas (areas with different viewing angle requirements) of the screen away from the experimenter according to the viewing angle requirements of the experimenter, so as to determine the arrangement mode of the protruding portion along the first direction X.

As shown in fig. 6, the first protruding portion 103 and the second protruding portion 203 are in a block shape, and along the first direction X, a gap exists between two adjacent first protruding portions 103 and a gap exists between two adjacent second protruding portions 203, so that in order to support the support column 104 in a relatively flat area, the support column 104 may be set to deviate from the central area of two adjacent sub-pixel units P and approach to the area of one sub-pixel unit P, so that the support column 104 can be completely supported on the first protruding portion 103 or the second protruding portion 203; as shown in fig. 7, the first protrusion 103 and the second protrusion 203 are stripe-shaped and penetrate through at least a portion of the sub-pixel unit area 100 in the display area, so long as the support column 104 at least partially overlaps the first protrusion 103 or the second protrusion 203, the display panel 1 can obtain better supporting performance.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 8, fig. 8 is a further enlarged schematic view of the S1 region and S2 region of the display panel of fig. 1; when the first protruding portion 103 and the second protruding portion 203 are block-shaped, a gap exists between two adjacent first protruding portions 103 along the first direction X, a gap also exists between two adjacent second protruding portions 203, and the gaps are smaller, the support column 104 may also be provided to have a larger width along the first direction X, so that the support column 104 located in the first display area 1-1 may bridge two adjacent first protruding portions 103, the support column 104 located in the second display area 1-2 may bridge two adjacent second protruding portions 203, and the support surface of the support column 104 is relatively flat, thereby obtaining better support property of the display panel 1.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 10, fig. 10 is a further enlarged schematic view of the S1 region and S2 region of the display panel of fig. 1; the display panel 1 includes the support column 104, in the direction perpendicular to the display panel 1, the projection of the support column 104 located in the first display area 1-1 overlaps the projection of the adjacent two first protrusions 103, the projection of the support column 104 located in the second display area 1-2 overlaps the projection of the adjacent two second protrusions 203, and since the first protrusions 103 and the second protrusions 203 are located only in the projection area of the first electrode area 10 along the second direction Y, the gap between the adjacent two first protrusions 103 and the adjacent two second protrusions 203 is larger, in order to ensure that the support column 104 is supported to a flatter surface, the width of the support column 104 along the first direction X may be set larger, and the width along the second direction Y is smaller, so that the support column 104 located in the first display area 1-1 may bridge the adjacent two first protrusions 103, and the support column 104 located in the second display area 1-2 may bridge the adjacent two second protrusions 203, thereby ensuring that the display panel 1 has better supportability.
Alternatively, since the first protrusions 103 and the second protrusions 203 are located only in the projection area of the first electrode region 10 along the second direction Y, the gap between the adjacent two first protrusions 103 and the adjacent two second protrusions 203 is larger, and the support columns 104 located in the first display region 1-1 may be located between the adjacent two first protrusions 103, and in the direction perpendicular to the display panel 1, the projections of the support columns 104 do not overlap with the projections of the first protrusions 103, the support columns 104 located in the second display region 1-2 are located between the adjacent two second protrusions 203, and the projections of the support columns 104 do not overlap with the projections of the second protrusions 203; thereby ensuring a good support of the display panel 1.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 11, fig. 11 is a further enlarged schematic view of the S1 region and S2 region of the display panel of fig. 1; the sub-pixel unit P has a pixel electrode PE including an end PED and a main PEM, wherein the first electrode region 10 includes an area where the pixel electrode PE is located, the first electrode region 10 has an end region 10D and a main region 10M, wherein the end region 10D includes the end PED of the pixel electrode PE, the main region 10M includes the main PEM of the pixel electrode PE, the end region 10D is located at both sides of the main region 10M along the second direction Y, an extending direction of the pixel electrode PE located at the main region 10M and an extending direction of the pixel electrode PE located at the end region 10D intersect, and a projection of the second protrusion 203 may cover the end region 10D of the first electrode region 10 in a direction perpendicular to the display panel 1; when the second display area 1-2 is farther from the experimenter than the first display area 1-1, that is, the experimenter views the screen, when the viewing angle range of the first display area 1-1 is smaller than that of the second display area 1-2, the width of the second protruding portion 203 along the second direction Y is larger than that of the first protruding portion 103 along the second direction Y, so that the projection of the second protruding portion 203 at least partially overlaps with the end area 10D of the first electrode area 10 and even completely covers the end area 10D of the first electrode area 10, and the end PED of the pixel electrode PE has a relatively weak horizontal electric field with the common electrode (not shown in the drawing) relative to the main portion PEM, so that the protruding portion occupies the portion with a smaller brightness effect on the high gray scale display (such as 200 gray scale or more), but can greatly reduce the brightness in the black state, thereby improving the area contrast.
