请结合参照图1和图2，图1为本申请实施例提供的分布式SOP显示系统的框架结构示意图，图2为本申请实施例提供的分布式SOP显示面板的第一种俯视结构示意图。所述分布式SOP显示系统1000包括分布式SOP显示面板100、至少一个信号拆分模块200以及信号源300。所述信号拆分模块200的输入端与所述信号源300连接，所述信号拆分模块200的输出端于所述分布式SOP显示面板100连接。所述信号源300用于给所述信号拆分模块200提供标准显示信号，所述信号拆分模块200用于接收所述标准显示信号，并输出功能信号给到所述分布式SOP显示面板100。
所述分布式SOP显示面板100包括多个显示模块10、多个功能模块20。每个所述显示模块10包括多个显示单元11，多个功能模块20设置在所述显示模块10内。所述信号拆分模块200与所述功能模块20连接，用于将标准显示信号拆分成多个功能信号给到所述功能模块20。其中部分所述功能模块20与所述显示单元11连接，用于将接收到的所述功能信号转化为相应的显示信号，并给到对应的所述显示模块10。
需要说明的是，所述信号拆分模块200能够把标准显示信号拆分为多个功能信号，所述标准显示信号是由主机等信号源300提供的高频率信号（例如3Gbps以上），所述标准显示信号不能被所述分布式SOP显示面板100上的所述显示模块10和所述功能模块20直接接收处理，因为所述显示模块10包括所述显示单元11，所述功能模块20包括功能单元（图未示），所述显示单元11和所述功能单元均可包括薄膜晶体管、电容器或电阻等元件，而薄膜晶体管、电容器以及电阻等元件只对一定频率的信号具有处理能力，这些元件输入超出其处理能力范围外的信号频率的信号时，会出现失效等问题，进而导致分布式SOP显示面板100不能正常工作。而被所述信号拆分模块200拆分后的多个并行的功能信号为低频信号（例如10MHz~300MHz），低频的功能信号能够被所述分布式SOP显示面板100上的功能模块20接收处理。相应地，部分所述功能模块20将低频的所述功能信号转换为所述显示模块10能够接收处理的显示信号。
另外，可选地，所述信号拆分模块200可集成在所述分布式SOP显示面板100上或与所述分布式SOP显示面板100分开设置，当所述信号拆分模块200集成在所述分布式SOP显示面板100上时，所述信号拆分模块200可位于所述显示模块10内或位于所述显示模块10的一侧。当所述信号拆分模块200与所述分布式SOP显示面板100分开设置时，所述信号拆分模块200可采用信号线等连接方式与所述分布式SOP显示面板100通讯。而且所述信号拆分模块200的数量可以为一个或多个，当所述信号拆分模块200的数量为多个时，多个所述信号拆分模块200之间可以串联连接。
下面将结合图1和图2具体阐述所述分布式SOP显示面板100的结构：
具体地，所述分布式SOP显示面板100包括多个显示模块10和多个功能模块20。每个所述显示模块10包括多个沿第一方向X间隔排布的显示单元组12，每一所述显示单元组12包括多个沿第二方向Y间隔排布的显示单元11，所述显示单元11可以为液晶单元、微型发光二极管（Micro-LED）、次毫米发光二极管（Mini-LED）、有机发光二极管等，这里不做限制。可选地，所述第一方向X为水平方向，所述第二方向Y为竖直方向。
每个所述显示模块10用于接收对应的显示信号，每个所述显示模块10包括多个显示单元11，每个所述显示信号的参数小于或等于对应所述显示模块10的处理能力峰值。其中显示信号的参数可以为显示信号的信号频率对应的数值，也可以为显示信号的其他特征参数。显示模块10的处理能力峰值可以为组成显示模块10的多个显示单元11中，处理能力最低的显示单元11所能处理的显示信号的信号频率的最大数值。
每个所述功能模块20包括多个功能单元，所述功能单元设置在相邻的所述显示单元11之间，每个所述功能模块20用于接收对应的功能信号，每个所述功能信号的参数小于或等于对应的所述功能模块20的处理能力峰值。其中所述功能信号的参数可以为功能信号的信号频率对应的数值，也可以为功能信号的其他特征参数。所述功能模块20的处理能力峰值可以为组成功能模块20的多个功能单元中，处理能力最低的功能单元所能处理的功能信号的信号频率的最大数值。
本申请通过把所述功能模块20集成到显示区AA内，有利于实现分布式SOP显示面板100的窄边框或无边框设计，而且在提高屏占比的同时可以实现多个显示模块10采用不同的信号驱动，从而达到整个分布式SOP显示面板100实现高频的目的。同时还可减小功能模块20与显示单元11之间的距离，有利于降低信号传输线的阻抗，减小电压降。
可选地，所述功能模块20包括第一功能模块21，所述功能信号包括第一功能信号，所述第一功能模块21与相邻的所述显示模块10中的显示单元11电连接，用于根据所述第一功能信号为相应的所述显示模块10提供相应的独有显示信号。所述独有显示信号为每个所述显示模块10所独有，比如所述独有显示信号为源极驱动信号、栅极信号等独有信号。
所述分布式SOP显示面板100还包括多条第一信号连接线211，所述第一信号连接线211与所述显示模块10对应的所述第一功能模块21电连接，用于给所述第一功能模块21提供所述第一功能信号，且所述第一信号连接线211设置于相邻的所述显示单元11之间。多个所述第一功能模块21沿所述第一方向X平齐设置，多个所述第一功能模块21对应的所述第一信号连接线211沿所述第二方向Y延伸，且不同的所述第一功能模块21对应的所述第一信号连接线211设置在不同显示单元组12之间。
具体地，所述第一功能模块21为源极信号产生器，所述源极信号产生器设置在同一所述显示模块10的相邻显示单元组12之间，用于给对应的所述显示单元组12提供所述独有显示信号。所述源极信号产生器用于产生源极驱动信号，以给对应的所述显示单元组12提供源极驱动信号，则此时所述独有显示信号即为源极驱动信号，也即对应的所述显示单元组12需要的数据信号，所述数据信号通过数据线传输给对应的所述显示单元组12内的每个显示单元11。
可选地，所述源极信号产生器设计为长条状，因所述显示单元组12之间的间隔宽度有限，长条状设计的源极信号产生器更容易放置在相邻的显示单元组12之间。每一所述显示模块10的所述源极信号产生器与所述信号拆分模块200之间通过所述第一信号连接线211连接，所述第一信号连接线211用于把所述第一功能信号传输给所述源极信号产生器。
在同一所述显示模块10内，每一所述显示单元组12均对应一个源极信号产生器，多个源极信号产生器之间级联连接。每一所述源极信号产生器输出的源极驱动信号与对应的显示单元组12内的每一显示单元11连接，以给每一显示单元11提供源极驱动信号。可选地，所述源极信号产生器包括移位寄存器、锁存器、译码器和模拟数字信号转换器等模块，其中把不同源极信号产生器的移位寄存器通过第二信号连接线212级联连接，即可实现多个源极信号产生器之间级联连接。所述第二信号连接线212沿所述第一方向X延伸。
由于同一所述显示模块10内的多个源极信号产生器之间通过第二信号连接线212级联连接，则每个所述显示模块10内只需有一个源极信号产生器与所述第一信号连接线211连接即可。如此在所述分布式SOP显示面板100的显示区AA分为多个显示模块10，且把源极信号产生器放置在显示区AA内时，通过把多个源极信号产生器级联连接，可以大大减少所述分布式SOP显示面板100的显示区AA内的走线数量，以减少跨线，降低阻抗，减小了与显示像素之间的干扰。
进一步地，所述第一信号连接线211沿所述第二方向Y延伸，且不同显示模块10的第一信号连接线211平行间隔设置在不同显示单元组12之间，使所述第一信号连接线211均匀分布，以最大化利用所述显示单元11之间的空间，且能够避免多个所述显示模块10的所述第一信号连接线211集中在相同显示单元组12之间可能导致的信号干扰问题。
可选地，所述分布式SOP显示面板100还包括显示区AA以及位于所述显示区AA一侧的信号输入端60，所述显示区AA划分为多个所述显示模块10，多个所述显示模块10阵列排布在所述显示区AA。所述信号拆分模块200通过所述信号输入端60与所述分布式SOP显示面板100通讯，具体地，所述第一功能模块21通过所述第一信号连接线211与所述信号输入端60电连接，则所述信号拆分模块200把拆分后的第一功能信号传输给所述信号输入端60，所述信号输入端60把所述第一功能信号通过第一信号连接线211传输给所述第一功能模块21，所述第一功能模块21将所述第一功能信号转换成所述独有显示信号提供给对应的所述显示模块10。其中，所述信号输入端60可为柔性印刷线路板（Flexible Print Circuit，FPC）等。
所述分布式SOP显示面板100还可包括非显示区NA，则所述信号输入端60可设置于所述非显示区NA。当然地，所述分布式SOP显示面板100也可不存在非显示区NA，此时所述信号输入端60也可设置于所述显示区AA内，本实施例以所述信号输入端60设置于所述非显示区NA为例说明。所述第一信号连接线211沿所述第二方向Y延伸至所述信号输入端60，所述信号输入端60的长边方向平行于所述第一方向X，也即所述信号输入端60水平设置在所述分布式SOP显示面板100的非显示区NA。
需要说明的是，不同显示模块10的所述第一信号连接线211要均匀分散在不同的显示单元11之间，部分所述显示模块10的所述第一信号连接线211还需先朝第一方向X延伸一段，以避开其他显示模块10的第一信号连接线211。尤其地，在沿所述第二方向Y间隔排布的同一列所述显示模块10中，各个所述显示模块10的显示单元组12在列方向上也互相对齐，位于相同列的相邻显示单元组12之间的源极信号产生器在引入所述第一信号连接线211时，部分显示模块10的第一信号连接线211需先朝第一方向X延伸一段，然后在沿平行于所述第二方向Y延伸至所述信号输入端60，使得不同显示模块10的第一信号连接线211之间被显示单元组12间隔开。
在一种实施例中，请参照图3，图3为本申请实施例提供的分布式SOP显示面板的第二种俯视结构示意图。与上述实施例不同的是，多个所述第一功能模块21沿所述第一方向X交错设置，多个所述第一功能模块21对应的所述第一信号连接线211沿所述第一方向X延伸，且不同的所述第一功能模块21对应的所述第一信号连接线211设置在不同显示单元11之间。
具体地，沿所述第一方向X间隔排布的至少两个显示模块10的源极信号产生器交错设置，且不同所述显示模块10的第一信号连接线211沿平行于所述第一方向X延伸，并平行间隔设置在不同显示单元11之间。至少两个显示模块10的源极信号产生器交错设置是指所述源极信号产生器在每个显示模块10中放置的位置不一样，同一行的不同显示模块10内的所述源极信号产生器的纵向位置依次往下。同一行的所述显示模块10是指沿所述第一方向X间隔排布的多个显示模块10。
采用同一行不同显示模块10的源极信号产生器交错放置的方式，将有利于源极信号产生器的输入信号线的引入，也即所述第一信号连接线211的引入。具体地，同一行的不同所述显示模块10的第一信号连接线211沿所述第一方向X延伸至所述信号输入端60，所述信号输入端60的长边方向平行于所述第二方向Y，也即所述信号输入端60竖直设置在所述分布式SOP显示面板100的非显示区NA。
由于所述信号输入端60竖直放置，且不同显示模块10的源极信号产生器交错放置，则所述第一信号连接线211能够沿平行于第一方向X直接从所述信号输入端60引入到对应的源极信号产生器，且不同显示模块10的第一信号连接线211之间由所述显示单元11间隔开，使所述第一信号连接线211均匀分布，以最大化利用所述显示单元11之间的空间，从而能够减少跨线，降低阻抗，减小与显示像素之间的干扰，以使所述分布式SOP显示面板100内的各模块布局合理。其他说明请参照上述实施例，在此不再赘述。
在一种实施例中，请参照图4，图4为本申请实施例提供的分布式SOP显示面板的第三种俯视结构示意图。与上述实施例不同的是，沿所述第一方向X和/或第二方向Y间隔排布的至少两个显示模块10对应的所述第一功能模块21与同一所述第一信号连接线211连接，所述第一信号连接线211用于给多个所述第一功能模块21提供所述第一功能信号，以减少所述第一信号连接线211的数量。
具体地，由于不同信号线对于高频的需求并不一致，因此对于高频需求较低的信号线可以共用以减少信号线的数目。例如如图4所示，以沿第二方向Y间隔排布的多个显示模块10共用同一所述第一信号连接线211为例说明，所述第一信号连接线211从所述信号输入端60引出，并沿所述第二方向Y延伸，在延伸至对应的所述显示模块10附近时，把所述第一信号连接线211引入到该显示模块10的源极信号产生器上，以实现多个显示模块10共用第一信号连接线211。采用此种布线方式，能够减少所述第一信号连接线211的数量，从而进一步减少所述分布式SOP显示面板100的显示区AA内的走线数量，以减少跨线，降低阻抗，减小了与显示像素之间的干扰。其他说明请参照上述实施例，在此不再赘述。
在一种实施例中，请参照图5，图5为本申请实施例提供的分布式SOP显示面板的第四种俯视结构示意图。与上述实施例不同的是，同一所述显示模块10内的至少两列显示单元组12共用一个所述源极信号产生器，如此能够减少同一显示模块10内源极信号产生器的放置数量，以节省像素空间，其他说明请参照上述实施例，在此不再赘述。
在一种实施例中，请参照图1至图6，图6为本申请实施例提供的分布式SOP显示面板的第五种俯视结构示意图。与上述实施例不同的是，所述第一功能模块21’还包括GOA（Gate Driver On Array，阵列基板行驱动）模块30和GOA信号产生器31，每一所述显示模块10包括多个沿第一方向X间隔排布的显示单元组12，每一所述显示单元组12包括多个沿第二方向Y间隔排布的显示单元11，所述GOA模块30和所述GOA信号产生器31设置在相邻显示单元组12之间，用于给对应的所述显示模块10提供所述独有显示信号，且所述GOA信号产生器31设置于所述GOA模块30的相邻两级GOA单元之间。
具体地，所述GOA模块30也设置为长条状，并放置在相邻的显示单元组12之间。而为了实现每个所述显示模块10的独立控制，每个所述显示模块10内均可设置一个GOA模块30，如图6示出的所述GOA模块30放置在所述显示模块10内所述显示单元组12的一侧。所述GOA模块30包括多个级联的GOA单元，所述GOA信号产生器31放置在任意相邻的两级GOA单元之间，给所述GOA单元提供GOA信号，所述GOA信号包括时钟信号等。每一所述GOA模块30的GOA单元接收对应的所述GOA信号，并输出栅极扫描信号给同一显示模块10内同一行的所述显示单元11，用于驱动同一行的所述显示单元11，所述栅极扫描信号也即所述独有显示信号。
所述GOA信号产生器31通过第一信号连接线211’与所述信号输入端60连接，用于把所述信号拆分模块200输出的第一功能信号转化成GOA信号。其中与所述GOA信号产生器31连接的所述第一信号连接线211’和与所述源极信号产生器连接的所述第一信号连接线211为不同的信号连接线。所述信号输入端60竖直放置，所述第一信号连接线211’沿所述第一方向X延伸至所述信号输入端60。同时沿所述第一方向X间隔排布的至少两个显示模块10的GOA信号产生器31交错设置，使得不同所述显示模块10的第一信号连接线211’沿所述第一方向X延伸，并平行间隔设置在不同显示单元11之间，使所述第一信号连接线211’均匀分布，以最大化利用所述显示单元11之间的空间，从而能够减少跨线，降低阻抗，减小与显示像素之间的干扰。
需要说明的是，本实施例的GOA模块30和GOA信号产生器31在所述分布式SOP显示面板100的显示区AA的布局方式不限于图6示意出的布局方式，所述GOA模块30和所述GOA信号产生器31的布局方式还可采用上述实施例中源极信号产生器的布局方式，具体请参照上述实施例，在此不再赘述。
在一种实施例中，请参照图7，图7为本申请实施例提供的分布式SOP显示面板的第六种俯视结构示意图。与上述实施例不同的是，所述功能模块20还包括第二功能模块22，所述功能信号还包括第二功能信号，所述第二功能模块22与多个所述显示模块10电连接，用于根据所述第二功能信号为相应的多个所述显示模块10提供共用显示信号。
具体地，所述分布式SOP显示面板100还包括第三信号连接线213和多条第四信号连接线214，所述第三信号连接线213与所述第二功能模块22电连接，用于给所述第二功能模块22提供所述第二功能信号，且所述第三信号连接线213设置于相邻的所述显示单元11之间。所述第二功能模块22通过多条所述第四信号连接线214与多个所述显示模块10连接，用于给多个所述显示模块10提供所述共用显示信号，且多条所述第四信号连接线214交叉设置在相邻的所述显示单元11之间。
如此，所述第二功能模块22通过所述第三信号连接线213与所述信号输入端60连接，使得所述信号输入端60通过所述第三信号连接线213给所述第二功能模块22提供所述第二功能信号。同时所述第二功能模块22还通过多条所述第四信号连接线214与多个所述显示模块10连接，使得多个所述显示模块10相互连接，所述第二功能模块22通过所述第四信号连接线214给多个所述显示模块10提供所述共用显示信号，以使各所述显示模块10共用所述共用显示信号。
所述共用显示信号包括VSS、VDD、VGH、VGL等共用信号，这类显示信号整个分布式SOP显示面板100上的显示单元11共用，故可把各个显示模块10内的这些共用信号通过纵横交错的第四信号连接线214连接起来，然后在靠近所述信号输入端60的位置通过所述第三信号连接线213与所述信号输入端60连接即可。采用此种布线方式，能够减少与所述信号输入端60之间的连接走线，进而可以减小所述信号输入端60占用的非显示区NA空间。
另外，对于各所述功能模块20，比如所述源极信号产生器，也需要一定的驱动电压，以驱动所述源极信号产生器工作，而同一分布式SOP显示面板的各源极信号产生器的规格通常是相同的，相同规格的源极信号产生器需要相同的工作电压，故给各源极信号产生器提供驱动电压的电源线也可以共用。如此可以参照各显示模块10共用所述共用显示信号的布线方式，对各源极信号产生器的电源线也采用纵横交错的网状结构设计，以减少与柔性印刷线路板之间的连接走线。当然地，所述功能模块20的其他能够共用的信号均可采用该布线方式。其他说明请参照上述实施例，在此不再赘述。
在一种实施例中，请参照图8，图8为本申请实施例提供的分布式SOP显示面板的第七种俯视结构示意图。与上述实施例不同的是，所述功能模块20还包括第三功能模块23，所述第三功能模块23设置在相邻所述显示单元11之间，且未设置所述第一功能模块21和/或所述第二功能模块22的区域。所述第三功能模块23用于实现所述分布式SOP显示面板100的非显示功能。所述第三功能模块23包括ROM模块、RAM模块、CPU模块、人工智能模块、天线模块、音频模块、传感器模块以及电源模块中的一种或多种。
具体地，如图8所示，所述分布式SOP显示面板100的显示区AA内集成的第一功能模块21（如源极信号产生器、GOA模块30、GOA信号产生器31）只占据了显示单元11之间的部分间隙，故在显示单元11之间未设置第一功能模块21的区域可同时放置第三功能模块23，以充分利用所述显示单元11之间的间隙，提高分布式SOP显示面板100的屏占比和分布式SOP显示面板100的集成度。
根据上述实施例可知：
本申请提供一种分布式SOP显示面板及显示系统，该分布式SOP显示面板包括多个显示模块、多个功能模块，每个显示模块包括多个显示单元，多个功能模块设置在相邻的显示单元之间，从而无需占用非显示区，实现窄边框。所述功能模块包括第一功能模块和第二功能模块，所述第一功能模块与相邻的所述显示模块中的显示单元电连接，用于根据第一功能信号为相应的所述显示模块提供相应的独有显示信号，所述第二功能模块与多个所述显示模块电连接，用于根据第二功能信号为相应的多个所述显示模块提供共用显示信号，以此把所述功能模块合理的设置在所述显示模块内，减小了功能模块与显示单元之间的距离，有利于降低信号传输线的阻抗，减小电压降。同时对各功能模块的布线进行优化，以优化信号走线数目，减小跨线，降低阻抗，并减小信号走线对显示像素干扰，从而解决了现有SOP显示装置的系统功能布局不合理的技术问题。
在上述实施例中，对各个实施例的描述都各有侧重，某个实施例中没有详述的部分，可以参见其他实施例的相关描述。
以上对本申请实施例进行了详细介绍，本文中应用了具体个例对本申请的原理及实施方式进行了阐述，以上实施例的说明只是用于帮助理解本申请的技术方案及其核心思想；本领域的普通技术人员应当理解：其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改，或者对其中部分技术特征进行等同替换；而这些修改或者替换，并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例的技术方案的范围。
