- G09G 2300/026: Video wall, i.e. juxtaposition of a plurality of screens to create a display screen of bigger dimensions
- G09G: ARRANGEMENTS OR CIRCUITS FOR CONTROL OF INDICATING DEVICES USING STATIC MEANS TO PRESENT VARIABLE INFORMATION (arrangements for transferring data between digital computers and displays G06F3/14; static indicating arrangements comprising an association of a number of separate sources or light control cells G09F9/00; static indicating arrangements comprising integral associations of a number of light sources H01J, H01K, H10H, H05B33/12; scanning, transmission or reproduction of documents or the like, e.g. facsimile transmission, details thereof H04N1/00)

## Abstract

Disclosed is a display panel, which adopts two display screens arranged by splicing. The display screen includes a display area and a non-display area on at least one side of the display area. An LED substrate is disposed on the non-display area. The LED substrate includes a substrate and a light emitting device disposed on the substrate. A cover plate is provided on at least two display screens. A groove is provided on one side of the cover plate close to the LED substrate. A side surface of the substrate is disposed opposite to a groove wall of the groove. A part of the groove wall surface corresponding to the side surface of the substrate is a reflection interface.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display panel, comprising:
at least two display screens, wherein the at least two display screens are spliced, and each of the at least two display screens comprises a display area and a non-display area located on at least one side of the display area;
light emitting diode (LED) substrates, wherein the LED substrates are disposed on the non-display area, and each of the LED substrates comprises a substrate and a light emitting device disposed on the substrate; and
a cover plate, wherein the cover plate is disposed on the at least two display screens, a groove is formed on a side of the cover plate close to each of the LED substrates, and each of the LED substrates is disposed in the groove;
wherein a side surface of the substrate is disposed opposite to a groove wall of the groove, and a part of a groove wall surface corresponding to the side surface of the substrate is a reflection interface;
wherein at a splicing portion between adjacent two of the display screens, two of the LED substrates correspond to and are disposed on the non-display areas of the adjacent two of the display screens respectively;
wherein the groove comprises a first sub-groove and a second sub-groove that are spaced from each other, the first sub-groove receives one of the LED substrates corresponding to the non-display areas of the adjacent two of the display screens, and the second sub-groove receives the other of the LED substrates corresponding to the non-display areas of the adjacent two of the display screens.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The display panel of claim 1, wherein the reflection interface is a smooth groove wall surface.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The display panel of claim 1, wherein there is a medium between the groove wall surface and each of the LED substrates, a refractive index of the cover plate is greater than a refractive index of the medium, and the groove wall surface and the medium form the reflection interface.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The display panel of claim 3, wherein the medium comprises air or a transparent solid material.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The display panel of claim 4, wherein in two adjacent display screens, there is a gap between the two display screens, and each of the LED substrates is disposed on the two adjacent display screens and blocks the gap.

a cover plate, wherein the cover plate is disposed on the at least two display screens, a groove is formed on a side of the cover plate close to each of the LED substrates, and each of the LED substrates is disposed in the groove;
wherein a side surface of the substrate is disposed opposite to a groove wall of the groove, and a part of a groove wall surface corresponding to the side surface of the substrate is a reflection interface;
wherein a resolution of each of the LED substrates is same as a resolution of each of the at least two display screens;
wherein the reflection interface is a smooth groove wall surface;
wherein at a splicing portion between adjacent two of the display screens, two of the LED substrates correspond to and are disposed on the non-display areas of the adjacent two of the display screens respectively;
wherein the groove comprises a first sub-groove and a second sub-groove that are spaced from each other, the first sub-groove receives one of the LED substrates corresponding to the non-display areas of the adjacent two of the display screens, and the second sub-groove receives the other of the LED substrates corresponding to the non-display areas of the adjacent two of the display screens.
