With the rapid development of displays, more and more products are equipped with displays. In response to the diversity of products and the provision of customized designs, free-form displays have gradually been developed. Different from the traditional rectangular frame design, it uses a curved or streamlined frame design.

In order to meet the application of non-rectangular frame products, the pixel electrodes can be arranged in a zigzag shape along the non-rectangular frame to present the outline of the non-rectangular frame product. However, this method will cause serious sharp turns (Zag) or The aliasing phenomenon brings a low-end and cheap feeling to the user. In addition, the shading pattern covers the non-rectangular frame to obtain the outline of the non-rectangular frame product. Although this method can solve the aliasing phenomenon, as the slope of the frame changes, the shading pattern has different shielding ratios between the pixel electrodes, and it will As a result, the display panel produces a rainbow pattern near the border area, which affects taste.

The third non-rectangular pixel region 108C has a third color sub-region C3 capable of displaying a third color, where the third color is different from the first color and the second color. It is worth noting that the area of the first non-rectangular pixel region 108A minus the area of the first white sub-region W1 is substantially equal to the area of the third color sub-region C3 of the third non-rectangular pixel region 108C. In other words, in the same edge pixel region 136, the area of the first color sub-region C1, the area of the second color sub-region C2, and the area of the third color sub-region C3 of the non-rectangular pixel region 108C are substantially the same. Thereby, in each edge pixel area 136, the ratio of the area capable of displaying the first color, the area capable of displaying the second color, and the area capable of displaying the third color is fixed, and the inner edge 104a can be non-rapidly turned In the case of Zag) edges and / or jagged edges, the rainbow pattern phenomenon described in the prior art is effectively improved.

In this embodiment, each edge pixel region 136 includes at least a first non-rectangular pixel region 108A and a second non-rectangular pixel region 108B. The first non-rectangular pixel region 108A has a first The color sub-region C1 and the first white sub-region W1 capable of displaying white. The first color sub-region C1 is, for example, a rectangle, and the first white sub-region W1 is, for example, a pentagon. The second non-rectangular pixel region 108B has a second color sub-region C2 capable of displaying a second color and may not have a white sub-region. The first color is different from the second color, and the second color sub-region C2 is, for example, a triangle. Each edge pixel region 136 may further include a third non-rectangular pixel region 108C, the third non-rectangular pixel region 108C has a third color sub-region C3 capable of displaying a third color, and the third non-rectangular pixel region 108C may not It has a white sub-region, where the third color is different from the first and second colors, and the third-color sub-region C3 is, for example, a triangle. In the embodiment of FIG. 8, the second non-rectangular The pixel region 108B and the third non-rectangular pixel region 108C may not have a white sub-region.

In summary, according to a light-shielding pattern according to an embodiment of the present invention, the area of the first color sub-region and the area of the second color sub-region (and / or the area of the third color sub-region) are substantially the same, such that The area ratio of each color sub-region in the edge pixel region is substantially the same, and it is not easy for the phenomenon of Zag edge and / or rainbow pattern that affects taste to occur.

Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with the examples, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can make some modifications and retouching without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention shall be determined by the scope of the attached patent application.
