Description
本發明係關於顯示裝置,更特別關於其週邊區域之電路區的形狀設計。 The present invention relates to the display device, and more particularly to the shape design of the circuit region of its peripheral region.
一般的顯示裝置為矩形,主要分為顯示區與外圍的週邊區域。週邊區域含有多個矩形的電路區,用以驅動顯示區中的畫素。然而在其他形狀的顯示裝置中,矩形電路區與週邊區域的基板邊緣之間的空間過大而無法妥善利用。一般而言,電路區的面積越大,在電路設計上具有越大的彈性。為了減少電路區與基板邊緣之間的空間,現有的電路區設計往往呈不規則型,且隨著位置不同而有不同形狀,造成某一電路區的電路設計無法適用於其他電路區。 A general display device has a rectangular shape and is mainly divided into a peripheral area of a display area and a periphery. The peripheral area contains a plurality of rectangular circuit areas for driving pixels in the display area. However, in other types of display devices, the space between the rectangular circuit region and the substrate edge of the peripheral region is too large to be properly utilized. In general, the larger the area of the circuit area, the greater the flexibility in circuit design. In order to reduce the space between the circuit area and the edge of the substrate, the existing circuit area design is often irregular, and has different shapes depending on the position, so that the circuit design of one circuit area cannot be applied to other circuit areas.
綜上所述,目前亟需新的電路區形狀以減少電路區與基板邊緣之間的空間,且此電路區形狀應適用於週邊區域的任何位置。 In summary, there is a need for a new circuit area shape to reduce the space between the circuit area and the edge of the substrate, and the shape of the circuit area should be applicable to any position in the peripheral area.

第1圖係本發明一顯示裝置的示意圖。顯示裝置100具有圓形的基板邊緣,主要分為顯示區11與週邊區域13。顯示區11具有位於基板10上的畫素110。在第1圖之實施例中,畫素110為方形,且第一方向11A垂直於第二方向11B。在其他實施例中,畫素可為六角形,且第一方向11A與第二方向11B的夾角為60度。 Figure 1 is a schematic view of a display device of the present invention. The display device 100 has a circular substrate edge and is mainly divided into a display area 11 and a peripheral area 13. The display area 11 has a pixel 110 on the substrate 10. In the embodiment of Fig. 1, the pixels 110 are square and the first direction 11A is perpendicular to the second direction 11B. In other embodiments, the pixels may be hexagonal, and the angle between the first direction 11A and the second direction 11B is 60 degrees.
第1圖之週邊區域13具有位於基板10上多個第一電路區131與第二電路區133。第一電路區131依第一方向11A驅動畫素110,且第二電路區133依第二方向11B驅動畫素110。舉例來說,第一電路區131可為移位寄存器(SR),且單一的第一電路區131只驅動單列的畫素110(並連接其掃描線S)。第二電路區133可為多工控制器的開關(MUX switch),且單一的第二電路區133驅動至少一行的畫素110(並連接其資料線D)。 The peripheral region 13 of FIG. 1 has a plurality of first circuit regions 131 and second circuit regions 133 on the substrate 10. The first circuit region 131 drives the pixels 110 in the first direction 11A, and the second circuit region 133 drives the pixels 110 in the second direction 11B. For example, the first circuit region 131 can be a shift register (SR), and the single first circuit region 131 drives only a single column of pixels 110 (and connected to its scan line S). The second circuit region 133 can be a switch of a multiplex controller (MUX switch), and a single second circuit region 133 drives at least one row of pixels 110 (and connected to its data line D).
第1圖之週邊區域13所含的第一電路區131與第二電路區133可如第2圖或第3圖所示。在第2圖中,有部份的週邊區域13皆設置第一電路區131與第二電路133區。在第3圖中,有部份的週邊區域13僅設置第一電路區131與有部份的週邊區域13僅設置第二電路區133。 The first circuit region 131 and the second circuit region 133 included in the peripheral region 13 of Fig. 1 can be as shown in Fig. 2 or Fig. 3. In Fig. 2, a portion of the peripheral region 13 is provided with a first circuit region 131 and a second circuit 133 region. In Fig. 3, a portion of the peripheral region 13 is provided with only the first circuit region 131 and a portion of the peripheral region 13 where only the second circuit region 133 is provided.
第4圖為第1圖之區域200的放大圖,用以說明第3圖之設計中第一電路區131與第二電路區133之形狀。可以理解的是,雖然第3圖之左下角為第二電路區133,但第二電路區133之形 狀設計亦可應用於右下角之第一電路區131。 Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of a region 200 of Fig. 1 for explaining the shape of the first circuit region 131 and the second circuit region 133 in the design of Fig. 3. It can be understood that although the lower left corner of FIG. 3 is the second circuit region 133, the shape of the second circuit region 133 The design can also be applied to the first circuit area 131 in the lower right corner.
如第4圖所示,每一畫素110具有三個次畫素(R、G、與B)。可以理解的是,畫素110可具有更多次畫素而不限於常見之三個次畫素之設計,且三個次畫素的排列方式與面積大小亦可依需要調整。在第4圖中,第二電路區133為五邊形。以中間的第二電路區133為例,五邊形具有依序相連的第一邊V-1、第二邊V-2、第三邊V-3、第四邊V-4、與第五邊V-5。第一邊V-1與第二方向11B平行,第二邊V-2與第一方向11A平行,且第三邊V-3與畫素110的對角線11C平行。第四邊V-4與五邊形對應之週邊區域13的基板邊緣13E實質上平行,且第四邊V-4大於畫素110之側邊P中至少一者。舉例來說,第四邊V-4大於畫素110之右側邊、左側邊、上側邊、或下側邊。第五邊V-5與第三邊V-3平行。在本發明一實施例中,第二電路區133與基板邊緣13E之間可夾有接線15,以連接不同的第二電路區133至外部電路。如第4圖所示之實施例,第一邊V-1與顯示區11中最外側的畫素110之一者的側邊(如第二電路區133右方之畫素110的左側)相鄰,且第二邊V-2與該顯示區11中最外側的畫素110之另一者的側邊(如第二電路區133上方之畫素110的下側)相鄰。 As shown in Fig. 4, each pixel 110 has three sub-pixels (R, G, and B). It can be understood that the pixel 110 can have more sub-pixels and is not limited to the design of the common three sub-pixels, and the arrangement and area of the three sub-pixels can also be adjusted as needed. In Fig. 4, the second circuit region 133 is a pentagon. Taking the second circuit region 133 in the middle as an example, the pentagon has a first side V-1, a second side V-2, a third side V-3, a fourth side V-4, and a fifth. Side V-5. The first side V-1 is parallel to the second direction 11B, the second side V-2 is parallel to the first direction 11A, and the third side V-3 is parallel to the diagonal 11C of the pixel 110. The fourth side V-4 is substantially parallel to the substrate edge 13E of the peripheral region 13 corresponding to the pentagon, and the fourth side V-4 is larger than at least one of the side edges P of the pixel 110. For example, the fourth side V-4 is larger than the right side, the left side, the upper side, or the lower side of the pixel 110. The fifth side V-5 is parallel to the third side V-3. In an embodiment of the invention, a wiring 15 may be sandwiched between the second circuit region 133 and the substrate edge 13E to connect the different second circuit regions 133 to the external circuit. As in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the first side V-1 is opposite to the side of one of the outermost pixels 110 in the display area 11 (as the left side of the pixel 110 on the right side of the second circuit area 133). Adjacent, and the second side V-2 is adjacent to the side of the other of the outermost pixels 110 in the display area 11 (such as the lower side of the pixel 110 above the second circuit area 133).
在第4圖中,第三邊V-3與第五邊V-5的長度相同。但在其他實施例中,第三邊V-3與第五邊V-5的長度可不相同,使第四邊V-4與不同位置的基板邊緣13E實質上平行,如第5圖所示。同樣地,第一邊V-1與第二邊V-2的長度也不一定相同,端視其對應的畫素數目而定。不論如何,第四邊V-4均與基板邊緣13E實質上平行。在這必須說明的是,雖然巨觀上基板邊緣13E為圓形, 但在微觀如畫素尺寸時,對應第二電路區133的基板邊緣13E可視作直線。 In Fig. 4, the third side V-3 is the same length as the fifth side V-5. However, in other embodiments, the lengths of the third side V-3 and the fifth side V-5 may be different, such that the fourth side V-4 is substantially parallel to the substrate edge 13E at different positions, as shown in FIG. Similarly, the lengths of the first side V-1 and the second side V-2 are not necessarily the same, and the length depends on the number of corresponding pixels. In any event, the fourth side V-4 is substantially parallel to the substrate edge 13E. It must be noted here that although the giant substrate upper edge 13E is circular, However, at a microscopic scale, the substrate edge 13E corresponding to the second circuit region 133 can be regarded as a straight line.
第6圖為第1圖之區域200的放大圖,用以說明第2圖之設計中部份的週邊區域13皆設置第一電路區131與第二電路區133(下半部)之形狀。至於第2圖中部份的週邊區域13僅設置第一電路區131(上半部),可採用前述五邊形的設計。可以理解的是,雖然第6圖的設計對應左下角中部份的週邊區域13皆設置第一電路區131與第二電路區133,但亦可應用於右下角中部份的週邊區域13皆設置第一電路區131與第二電路區133。在其他實施例中,部份的週邊區域13皆設置第一電路區131與第二電路區133可位於週邊區域13之下半部以外的其他區域,但都適用第6圖之設計。 Fig. 6 is an enlarged view of a region 200 of Fig. 1 for illustrating that the peripheral regions 13 of the portion of the design of Fig. 2 are provided with the shapes of the first circuit region 131 and the second circuit region 133 (lower half). As for the peripheral portion 13 of the portion in Fig. 2, only the first circuit region 131 (upper half) is provided, and the aforementioned pentagon design can be employed. It can be understood that although the design of FIG. 6 corresponds to the peripheral area 13 of the lower left corner, the first circuit area 131 and the second circuit area 133 are disposed, but the peripheral area 13 of the lower right corner portion can also be applied. The first circuit region 131 and the second circuit region 133 are disposed. In other embodiments, a portion of the peripheral region 13 is provided with the first circuit region 131 and the second circuit region 133 may be located in other regions than the lower half of the peripheral region 13, but the design of FIG. 6 is applicable.
在第6圖中,第二電路區133位於第一電路區131與顯示區11之間。五邊形的第一電路區131具有依序相連的第一邊V-1、第二邊V-2、第三邊V-3、第四邊V-4、與第五邊V-5。第一邊V-1與第二方向11B平行,第二邊V-2與第一方向11A平行,且第三邊V-3與畫素110的對角線11C平行。第四邊V-4與五邊形對應之週邊區域13的基板邊緣13E實質上平行,且第四邊V-4大於畫素110之側邊P中至少一者。舉例來說,第四邊V-4大於畫素110之右側邊、左側邊、上側邊、或下側邊。第五邊V-5與第三邊V-3平行。在本發明一實施例中,第一電路區131與基板邊緣13E之間可夾有接線15,以連接不同的第一電路區131至外部電路。 In FIG. 6, the second circuit region 133 is located between the first circuit region 131 and the display region 11. The first circuit region 131 of the pentagon has a first side V-1, a second side V-2, a third side V-3, a fourth side V-4, and a fifth side V-5 which are sequentially connected. The first side V-1 is parallel to the second direction 11B, the second side V-2 is parallel to the first direction 11A, and the third side V-3 is parallel to the diagonal 11C of the pixel 110. The fourth side V-4 is substantially parallel to the substrate edge 13E of the peripheral region 13 corresponding to the pentagon, and the fourth side V-4 is larger than at least one of the side edges P of the pixel 110. For example, the fourth side V-4 is larger than the right side, the left side, the upper side, or the lower side of the pixel 110. The fifth side V-5 is parallel to the third side V-3. In an embodiment of the invention, a wiring 15 may be interposed between the first circuit region 131 and the substrate edge 13E to connect different first circuit regions 131 to external circuits.
如第6圖所示,六邊形的第二電路區133具有依序相連的第一邊VI-1、第二邊VI-2、第三邊VI-3、第四邊VI-4、第五邊VI-5、與第六邊VI-6。第一邊VI-1與第二方向11B平行,並與顯 示區11中最外側的畫素110之一者的側邊(如第二電路區133右方之畫素110之左側)相鄰。第二邊VI-2與第一方向11A平行,並與顯示區11中最外側的畫素之另一者的側邊(如第二電路區133上方之畫素110的下側)相鄰。第三邊VI-3與畫素110之一者的對角線11C平行。第四邊VI-4與第一邊VI-1平行,並與其左側之五邊形的第一電路區131之第一邊V-1相鄰。第五邊VI-5與第二邊VI-2平行,並與其下側之五邊形的第一電路區131之第二邊V-2相鄰。第六邊VI-6與第三邊VI-3平行。 As shown in FIG. 6, the hexagonal second circuit region 133 has a first side VI-1, a second side VI-2, a third side VI-3, and a fourth side VI-4, which are sequentially connected. Five sides VI-5, and the sixth side VI-6. The first side VI-1 is parallel to the second direction 11B, and The side of one of the outermost pixels 110 in the display area 11 (as the left side of the pixel 110 to the right of the second circuit area 133) is adjacent. The second side VI-2 is parallel to the first direction 11A and is adjacent to the side of the other of the outermost pixels in the display area 11 (e.g., the lower side of the pixel 110 above the second circuit area 133). The third side VI-3 is parallel to the diagonal 11C of one of the pixels 110. The fourth side VI-4 is parallel to the first side VI-1 and is adjacent to the first side V-1 of the first circuit area 131 of the left side of the pentagon. The fifth side VI-5 is parallel to the second side VI-2 and is adjacent to the second side V-2 of the first circuit area 131 of the lower pentagon. The sixth side VI-6 is parallel to the third side VI-3.
第7圖為第1圖之區域200的放大圖,用以說明第3圖之設計中第一電路區131與第二電路區133之形狀。可以理解的是,雖然第7圖之左下角為第二電路區133,但第二電路區133之形狀設計亦可應用於右下角之第一電路區131。 Fig. 7 is an enlarged view of a region 200 of Fig. 1 for explaining the shapes of the first circuit region 131 and the second circuit region 133 in the design of Fig. 3. It can be understood that although the lower left corner of FIG. 7 is the second circuit region 133, the shape design of the second circuit region 133 can also be applied to the first circuit region 131 in the lower right corner.
如第7圖所示,第二電路區133為七邊形,具有依序相連的第一邊VII-1、第二邊VII-2、第三邊VII-3、第四邊VII-4、第五邊VII-5、第六邊VII-6、與第七邊VII-7。第一邊VII-1與第二方向11B平行,並與顯示區11中最外側的畫素110之第一者的第一側邊(如第7圖中中間的畫素110之左側)相鄰。第二邊VII-2與第一方向11A平行,並與顯示區11中最外側的畫素110之第二者的側邊(如第7圖中上方的畫素110之下側)相鄰。第四邊VII-4與七邊形對應之週邊區域13的基板邊緣13E實質上平行,且第四邊VII-4大於畫素110之側邊P中至少一者。舉例來說,第四邊VII-4的長度大於畫素110之上側邊、下側邊、左側邊、或右側邊。第六邊VII-6與第一邊VII-1平行,並與顯示區11中最外側的畫素110之第三者的側邊(如第7圖中下方的畫素之左側)相鄰。第七邊VII-7與第二邊 VII-2平行,並與顯示區11中最外側的畫素110之第一者的第二側邊(如第7圖中中間的畫素110之下側)相鄰。在本發明一實施例中,第二電路區133與基板邊緣13E之間可夾有接線15,以連接不同的第二電路區133至外部電路。 As shown in FIG. 7, the second circuit region 133 is a heptagon having a first side VII-1, a second side VII-2, a third side VII-3, and a fourth side VII-4 connected in sequence. The fifth side VII-5, the sixth side VII-6, and the seventh side VII-7. The first side VII-1 is parallel to the second direction 11B and is adjacent to the first side of the first one of the outermost pixels 110 in the display area 11 (as the left side of the pixel 110 in the middle of FIG. 7) . The second side VII-2 is parallel to the first direction 11A and is adjacent to the side of the second one of the outermost pixels 110 in the display area 11 (as the lower side of the pixel 110 above in Fig. 7). The fourth side VII-4 is substantially parallel to the substrate edge 13E of the peripheral region 13 corresponding to the heptagon, and the fourth side VII-4 is larger than at least one of the side edges P of the pixel 110. For example, the length of the fourth side VII-4 is greater than the upper side, the lower side, the left side, or the right side of the pixel 110. The sixth side VII-6 is parallel to the first side VII-1 and is adjacent to the side of the third party of the outermost pixel 110 in the display area 11 (as the left side of the pixel below in Fig. 7). The seventh side VII-7 and the second side VII-2 is parallel and adjacent to the second side of the first one of the outermost pixels 110 in the display area 11 (as the lower side of the pixel 110 in the middle of Fig. 7). In an embodiment of the invention, a wiring 15 may be sandwiched between the second circuit region 133 and the substrate edge 13E to connect the different second circuit regions 133 to the external circuit.
