  • Patent number: 12062330
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electronic device and a display panel. The display panel includes a transition display region and a transparent display region. First pixel driving circuits are placed in the transition display region. Dummy pixel driving circuits are placed in the transition display region. One of the dummy pixel driving circuit is adjacently placed within a predetermined distance from at least one side of the first pixel driving circuits arranged along the second direction. This could reduce the environment difference between the pixel driving circuit close to the light sensing region and the pixel driving circuit inside the transition display region and thus reduce the luminance difference between the first display pixels controlled by the pixel driving circuit close to the light sensing region and the first display pixels controlled by the pixel driving circuit inside the transition display region.
