At present, in order to save cost, some liquid crystal television (LCD TV) manufacturers integrate a control board (or called as a TCON board) into a system board (or called as a main board) while designing. Therefore, it is not necessary to purchase control boards when purchasing LCD panels. This kind of product is called TCONLESS TV product.
In one application, a protocol of image data transmission between a system board and an LCD panel of a TCONLESS TV product is a P2P (Point-To-Point) interface protocol, so as to realize high-speed signal transmission. There are many kinds of P2P protocols currently, such as iSP (Integrated-Stream Protocol), USI-T(Unified Standard Interface for TV), CHPI(China BOE Point-to-Point Interface), CSPI(China Star Point-to-Point Interface), CMPI(Clock Embedded Point-to-Point Interface), CEDS(Clock Embedded Differential Signal), etc., which are applied to different LCD panel manufacturers.
With different P2P protocols, an image data format and a training method between TX (Transmit) and RX(Receive) will be different, which will result in different designs of system boards according to different P2P protocols, and the system boards cannot adapt to a variety of P2P protocols, and are of poor versatility.

Additionally, the P2P interface further includes a pair of pins for clock training between the TX and the RX beside 12 pairs of P2P data interface pins. For different P2P protocols, the pin number and pin definition of clock training pins are different. The pin number of clock training pins is usually one or two.

Of course, the specific pin number of the P2P interface depends on the type of signal.
In an embodiment of the disclosure, the acquiring a type identification signal and identifying a P2P interface type according to the type identification signal,, includes: acquiring a direct current (DC) voltage level data transmitted by a predetermined pin;

After reading the data of P2P_SEL1, P2P_SEL2, the system board judges the P2P type according to the above rules, and the corresponding training mode is selected in SOC, and make the clock training between the TX and the Rx. After the training is successful, the display panel will start normally.
In this embodiment, two pins are added to the 60-pin connectors of the system board and XB, one of which is used to transmit P2P selection clock signal (SEL_CLK) for defining clock period; the other one of which is used to transmit P2P selection data signal (SEL_DO) for transmitting high and low voltage levels. As a P2P type selection module, the added two pins can arranged to the original empty pins in 60-pin connector without increasing the total pin number of 60-pin connector. The system board judges the P2P type by reading the number of the high and low voltage levels, and makes a corresponding clock training action.

After the training is successful, the display panel will start normally. For example, if the times of occurrence of the high or low voltage level is 1, the P2P type will be judged as P2P MODE1; if the times of occurrence of the high or low voltage level is 2, the P2P type will be judged as P2P MODE2; if the times of occurrence of the high or low voltage level is 3, the P2P type will be judged as P2P Mode3, and so on.
In this embodiment, one pin is added to the 60-pin connectors of the system board and the XB board as the P2P selection data signal (P2P_SEL) for transmitting high and low voltage levels. The system board calculates a ratio between a high voltage level and a low voltage level, or counts the high and low voltage levels through the internal clock of SOC, judges the P2P type and make a corresponding clock training action.
Please refer to FIG. 7 and 8. After booting, the system board identifies and calculates the ratio of high level to high level transmitted by P2P_SEL pin, judges the P2P type, and makes a correct clock training action. After the training is successful, the display panel will start normally.
Please refer to FIG. 10 and 11, if the P2P type identification signal is stored in a FLASH MEMORY of the XB board, the SPI pins transmit the P2P type identification signal to the system board. Therefore, it is necessary to add 4-bit data in the SPI signal in advance as the P2P identification. After booting and receiving the data stored in a FLASH memory transmitted by SPI_DO, the system board firstly reads the P2P type identification signal, judges the P2P type, and makes a correct training action. After the training is successful, the data will be transmitted in a correct P2P data format, and the display panel will start normally.
Or, please refer to FIG. 12 and 13, if the P2P type identification signal is stored in an EEPROM of the XB board, 4-bit data is added to the IIC signal as the P2P identification in advance. After booting, receiving the data stored in the EEPROM transmitted by IIC_SDA, the system board firstly reads the P2P type identification signal, judges the P2P type, and makes a correct training action. After the training is successful, the data will be transmitted in a correct P2P data format, and the display panel will start normally.
Of course, the P2P type corresponding to the 4-bit data above-mentioned can be set in advance according to the actual situation, as long as it is consistent with the judgment conditions in the system board. In addition, it is not limited to 4-bit data and can be determined according to the number of P2P types.

This article from semiconductor firm, MagnaChip covers the role that DDIC (display driver IC) technology plays in the function of modern display technology – and ultimately considers the impact it will have on the next generation of OLED (organic light emitting diode) screens in mobile devices.
Flat panel display technology is divided into two types: non-emissive display, which requires an external light source; and emissive display, which produces its own light organically. Thin-film transistor (TFT) LCD is a non-emissive and older display technology which requires an external light source to work, while OLED (organic light emitting diode) is considered an emissive display technology that does not require a backlight, because each pixel provides its own illumination.
An OLED display driver integrated circuit (DDIC) is a component that controls the OLED display panel: it enables thinner and bezel-less displays that are also more flexible and foldable and provide a wide range of colours that are true to the content being displayed. OLED also requires less power consumption than LCD, which causes less drain on the battery and extends the useful operating time of a device.
A DDIC sends a driving signal and the required data to the display panel in a form of electrical signals, to represent image signals such as letters and images. The DDIC resides in the OLED panel and differs between PM OLED and AM OLED panels. In the case of the former, by supplying a current into both vertical and horizontal panel ends, the pixels will emit light where the currents cross; therefore, by controlling the amount of crossing current, the intensity of light is also controlled.
As for AM OLED, moreover, each pixel in the panel has a TFT (thin film transistor) and data storage capacitor, which is capable of controlling the brightness of each pixel in ‘degrees of gray’, which leads to lower power consumption and a longer panel lifetime. When the DDIC commands all of the AM OLED’s pixels, each is controlled through TFT. Display pixels consist of subpixels that represent RGB. With such sub-pixels being controlled by the TFT, and given that the DDIC sends signals to the TFT, it is the DDIC that ultimately controls the pixels directly. Consider, therefore, the TFT functioning as a switch that drives RGB sub-pixels – while the DDIC functions as a type of ‘traffic light’ to instruct such a switch on how to operate.
To realise such flexible displays, DDIC COF (chip on film) technology is a requirement. COG (chip on glass) is a method of directly mounting the DDIC onto a rigid glass substrate, whereas COF, and also COP (chip on plastic), sees the DDIC being directly bonded onto the flexible substrate – to ensure the realisation of flexible displays.
To specify, COF is a packaging method of attaching DDIC to a panel substrate by bonding thin film, whereas COP is a method of mounting DDIC directly onto the substrate. The flexible qualities of the former make it possible to design the side area of a screen (often called the bezel), to be narrower than COG. This results in a relatively larger screen-to-body ratio. In other words, it can create a ‘bezel-less’ (or full screen) display. Moreover, in order to realise flexible displays where the screen itself bends, the DDIC package must also be flexible; and this is why it is imperative to apply COF technology. By contrast, LCD drivers can not physically fold or bend.
With the increasing resolution of smartphone displays, the number of DDIC channels connected to an individual pixel of the display panel also increases. In order to support high resolution, a ‘double-sided 2 Metal COF’ package technology is required. In general, while the resolution of FHD (full high definition) and below can be achieved by 1-layer metal COF, but resolution of QHD (quad high definition) and above – with a 30 percent increase in the number of channels, requires 2 metal COF. Therefore, for these high resolution formats, it is essential that ‘fine-circuit’ technology be embedded on both sides of the COF package for DDIC.
While smartphone display resolution has continued to improve, the downside is that this leads to more power consumption, therefore reducing the battery life of mobile devices. Also, when it comes to the RAM (random access memory) for storing display pattern data within a DDIC, a higher resolution increases the amount of display pattern data stored in the RAM. RAM capacity must therefore increase accordingly, which also increases the chip size of the DDIC.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of displays, and in particular, to an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display panel and a corresponding display device. BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
With development of display industry technologies, requirements of customers for display panels are increasingly high. For example, for some high-end display panels, customers require that a narrow bezel is designed. The current active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display panel includes a display area C1 configured to set a pixel structure, a binding area C2 configured to place a chip on film (COF) or a chip binding area configured to place a chip on plastic (COP), a fan-out area C3 connected to “Data” signals in a pixel circuit of the display area C1 and a bending area C4 for bending. The binding area is bent to a location below the panel by bending the bending area C4, and a lower bezel of original rigid display panel may be diminished, as shown FIG. 1.
In the current design, a value of a distance D from the display area C1 to the bending area C4 is still relatively large. A main reason is that a wiring space of the fan-out area C3 requires to be considered, and a height required for the current fan-out area C3 is mainly affected by factors, such as a quantity of fan-out wires. That is, when the quantity of wires is relatively small, the height required for the fan-out area C3 may be reduced.
In the current AMOLED display panel, “Pentile” pixel arrangement is used. As shown in FIG. 2, a structure of the pixel arrangement includes a pixel 1 obtained by combining two sub-pixels, namely, a red sub-pixel and a green sub-pixel, and a pixel 2 obtained by combining two sub-pixels, namely, a blue sub-pixel and a green sub-pixel. The two pixels share neighboring sub-pixels and form repeating units arranged in an array manner. The repeating units are arranged along a row direction. Moreover, a direction of a short side of each sub-pixel is consistent with the row direction, and a direction of a long side of each sub-pixel is consistent with a column direction, such that each pixel requires two “Data” signal lines (data line) and one “Scan” signal line (gate line), so as to increase the quantity of fan-out wires and increase the height required for the fan-out area. SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display panel and a corresponding display device, in which a quantity of data lines is reduced. That is to reduce a quantity of fan-out wires and reduce a height of a fan-out area, to resolve a technical problem that a “Pentile” pixel arrangement design is used in the current AMOLED display panel and each pixel requires two data lines, causing an increase in the quantity of fan-out wires and an increase in the height required for the fan-out area.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an AMOLED display panel, which includes a plurality of first pixel units and a plurality of second pixel units, wherein the first pixel units and the second pixel units are alternately disposed along a horizontal direction and along a vertical direction to form a pixel structure arranged in a matrix manner;
wherein the first pixel unit includes a first sub-pixel and a second sub-pixel disposed side by side with the first sub-pixel; wherein the second pixel unit includes another first sub-pixel and a third sub-pixel disposed side by side with the another first sub-pixel; wherein the first pixel unit and the third sub-pixel adjacent to the second pixel unit constitute a pixel point, and the second pixel unit and a second sub-pixel adjacent to the first pixel unit constitute a pixel point;
wherein in the first pixel unit, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel are arranged along a direction in which the data lines extend, and the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel share one of the data lines; wherein in the second pixel unit, the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel are arranged along the direction in which the data lines extend, and the first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel share one of the data lines;

The following description is based on exemplified specific embodiments of the present disclosure, and the embodiments should not be considered to limit other specific embodiments of the present disclosure that are not detailed herein.
Referring to FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram of arrangement of a pixel structure of an embodiment of an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display panel according to the present disclosure.
The AMOLED display panel of the present embodiment includes a plurality of first pixel units 10 and a plurality of second pixel units 20. The first pixel units 10 and the second pixel units 20 are alternately disposed along a horizontal direction and along a vertical direction to form a pixel structure arranged in a matrix manner.
The first pixel unit a includes a first sub-pixel 11 and a second sub-pixel 12 disposed side by side with the first sub-pixel 11. The second pixel unit b includes another first sub-pixel 11 and a third sub-pixel 13 disposed side by side with the another first sub-pixel 11.

The first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12 share one of the data lines Data. In the second pixel unit b, the first sub-pixel 11 and the third sub-pixel 13 are arranged along the direction in which the data lines Data extend. The first sub-pixel 11 and the third sub-pixel 13 share one of data lines Data.
A sub-pixel includes a light-emitting device unit and a corresponding pixel driving circuit unit. In the present embodiment, a disposition of side by side between sub-pixels is essentially a disposition of side by side between pixel driving circuit units.
Compared with the prior art in which two sub-pixels, namely, a red sub-pixel and a green sub-pixel in a pixel 1 (as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6) are arranged along a direction that a gate line (Scan) extends, such that each of the red and green sub-pixels requires one of data lines Data, and shares the gate line (Scan), additionally, the sub-pixels are longitudinally arranged as a whole. The AMOLED display panel of the present embodiment is achieved by the first sub-pixel 11 and the second sub-pixel 12 in the first pixel unit a share one of the data lines Data, and by the first sub-pixel 11 and the third sub-pixel 13 in the second pixel unit b share one of the data lines Data, such that a quantity of the data lines Data is reduced, thereby reducing a quantity of fan-out wires, and reducing a space required for wiring in a fan-out area, so as to reduce a size of a lower bezel.
Compared with the AMOLED display panel in the prior art, although such disposition of the present embodiment increases a quantity of gate lines, the quantity of data lines Data is reduced by one half, thereby reducing a space required for wiring in a fan-out area, so as to reduce a size of a lower bezel. On the other band, the quantity of gate lines Scan is increased, but if the present disclosure and the prior art use the same driving manner, widths of left and right bezels are increased. Therefore, interlace driving or multi-stage driving may be for gate driver on array (GOA) circuits of two side areas to reduce the widths of the left and right bezels.
The first sub-pixel 11, the second sub-pixel 12 and the third sub-pixel 13 are rectangular and have areas in equal. A direction extending along a long side of each of the first sub-pixel 11, the second sub-pixel 12, and the third sub-pixel 13 is perpendicular to the direction in which the data lines Data extend. In such disposition, the entire structure of the sub-pixel horizontally extend, thereby facilitating the fabrication of a driving transistor in a driving circuit.

Compared with a width of a U-shaped channel area of a driving transistor T1′ (as shown in FIG. 6) in a 7T1C circuit structure of a pixel unit of the AMOLED display panel in the prior art, the linear channel area enables a channel width to be more easily controlled, and surface uniformity is better.
