When I am mirroring with Airplay my IPad on my smart TV I always have a black frame, the picture is not “full” on the screen. Settings on TV do not make any difference. Any idea how to change it? Thank you

Most times whwn mirroring an iPad to any monitor or TV, the image will NOT fill/fit the monitor screen.
Most iPad screens are a ratio of 4:3, like old TVs from way back.
So, that is the screen mirror ratio that will be mirrored to any modern TV or monitor.
The iPad screen and even most TV mirror apps will NOT fill a modern video monitor or today's flat screen TVs with a much linget length to height ratio.
Sorry.
Hopefully, Apple will fix this with the new 2021 iPad Pro models and any up and coming subsequent new iPads and with the yet to be announced iPadOS 15.

Hello,
You may have already done this but have you tried rebooting both devices?
On the other hand, is the device you are mirroring an Apple TV or a TV from another brand? If it's not Apple TV, third-party apps often have compatibility issues with Apple mirroring, I've had experience with that ...
I hope I've helped
