The isolation structure is disposed on one side of the substrate and forms an isolation opening. The light-emitting units are at least partially located within the isolation opening. The isolation structure can be used to divide the display panel into sub-pixels.

By setting the surface of the first segment facing away from the substrate to be at least partially connected to the surface of the second segment facing away from the isolation structure, and by forming a gap space and a connection area between the first segment and the second segment, the first segment can provide better support for the second segment, making it less likely for the second segment to detach from the isolation structure, thereby improving the encapsulation effect of the first encapsulation layer on the display panel.

The distance between the first boundary of the gap space projected away from the first boundary of the isolation structure and the second boundary of the top surface of the first sublayer is 'b'. By limiting b to be greater than a, the connection position between the first segment and the second segment can be located outside the first sublayer. This reduces the impact of the sealing structure formed by the connection between the first segment and the second segment on the preparation of the first encapsulation layer. It also allows the material for the first encapsulation layer to be deposited more uniformly on the isolation structure to form a complete encapsulation structure, thereby improving the yield and performance of the display panel.

[0060] This application provides a display panel and a display device. The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will illustrate various embodiments of the display panel and the display device.
[0061] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a partial structural diagram of an isolation structure in a display panel provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a partial cross-sectional view of a display panel provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 3 yes Figure 2 Enlarged view of part A in the middle.
[0062] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a first aspect of this application provides a display panel, which includes a substrate 1, an isolation structure 3, a light-emitting layer 4, and a first encapsulation layer 5. The isolation structure 3 is disposed on one side of the substrate 1 and encloses a plurality of isolation openings 30. The isolation structure 3 includes a first sub-layer 31 and a second sub-layer 32 located on the side of the first sub-layer 31 facing away from the substrate 1. The first sub-layer 31 includes a top surface 311 facing away from the substrate 1 and a sidewall facing the opening. The second sub-layer 32 protrudes from the sidewall toward the isolation opening 30 by a length a. The light-emitting layer 4 includes a plurality of light-emitting units 41, which are at least partially located within the isolation openings 30. The first encapsulation layer 5 includes a plurality of encapsulation portions 50 for encapsulating the light-emitting units 41. The structure includes a first segment 51 and a second segment 52 that are interconnected. The first segment 51 is located within the isolation opening 30 and is disposed on the side of the light-emitting unit 41 facing away from the substrate 1. The second segment 52 is located on the side of the isolation structure 3 facing the isolation opening 30. The surface of the first segment 51 facing away from the substrate 1 and the surface of the second segment 52 facing away from the isolation structure 3 are at least partially interconnected to enclose and form a gap space 500. Within the same isolation opening 30, the gap space 500 has a first boundary 5100 away from the isolation structure 3 in the orthogonal projection of the substrate 1, and a second boundary 5200 in the orthogonal projection of the top surface 311 on the substrate 1. The distance between the first boundary 5100 and the second boundary 5200 is b, where b>a.
[0063] Optionally, the gap space 500, projected onto the substrate 1, has a first boundary 5100 away from the isolation structure 3. This can be understood as follows: the connection point between the surface of the first segment 51 facing away from the substrate 1 and the surface of the second segment 52 facing away from the isolation structure 3 is defined as the connection region 510. The projection of the connection region 510 onto the substrate 1 includes two boundaries, wherein the boundary closer to the isolation structure 3 coincides with the first boundary 5100, and the two are the same boundary. That is, the first boundary 5100 is formed by the connection between the surface of the first segment 51 facing away from the substrate 1 and the surface of the second segment 52 facing away from the isolation structure 3.
[0064] Optionally, the above structure can be referenced in the orthographic projection direction of substrate 1. Figure 2 The Z-axis direction can also be the thickness direction of the display panel.
[0065] Optional, such as Figure 1 As shown, the isolation structure 3 can be in the form of a grid to facilitate the division of sub-pixels in the display panel. The hollowed-out areas in the grid-shaped isolation structure 3 can be isolation openings 30.
[0066] In a display panel provided in this application embodiment, the display panel includes a substrate 1, an isolation structure 3, light-emitting units 41, and a first encapsulation layer 5. The isolation structure 3 is disposed on one side of the substrate 1 and forms an isolation opening 30. The light-emitting units 41 are at least partially located within the isolation opening 30. The isolation structure 3 can be used to divide the sub-pixels of the display panel. The isolation structure 3 is disposed on the substrate 1 and forms multiple isolation openings 30 to isolate the light-emitting layer 4 to form mutually disconnected light-emitting units 41, thereby reducing crosstalk of charge carriers in the light-emitting layer 4, improving the display effect of the display panel, and eliminating the need for a precision mask in the fabrication of the light-emitting units 41, thus reducing the development and use of precision masks and lowering the manufacturing cost.
[0067] The composition and preparation of the isolation structure 3 are further described in patents CN118251982A, 202410864269.8, PCT / CN2024 / 098407, PCT / CN2024 / 102783, PCT / CN2024 / 098217, PCT / CN2024 / 099419, and PCT / CN2024 / 099072 for reference.
[0068] The first encapsulation layer 5 is disposed on the side of the light-emitting unit 41 facing away from the substrate 1. The first encapsulation layer 5 includes a first segment 51 and a second segment 52. The first segment 51 is located within the isolation opening 30 and disposed on the side of the light-emitting unit 41 facing away from the substrate 1. The second segment 52 is located on the side of the isolation structure 3 facing the isolation opening 30. The first encapsulation layer 5 can be used to encapsulate the light-emitting unit 41. By setting the surface of the first segment 51 facing away from the substrate 1 and the surface of the second segment 52 facing away from the isolation structure 3 to be at least partially connected to each other, and by forming a gap space 500 and a connection area 510 between the first segment 51 and the second segment 52, the first segment 51 can provide better support for the second segment 52, making it less likely for the second segment 52 to detach from the isolation structure 3, thereby improving the encapsulation effect of the first encapsulation layer 5 on the display panel.
[0069] The second sublayer 32 protrudes from the first sublayer 31 toward the isolation opening 30. Along the direction perpendicular to the substrate 1, the distance by which the second sublayer 32 protrudes from the first sublayer 31 toward the isolation opening 30 is a. The distance between the first boundary 5100 of the gap space 500 projecting away from the isolation structure 3 and the second boundary 5200 of the top surface 311 of the first sublayer 31 is b. By limiting b to a, the connection position between the first segment 51 and the second segment 52 can be located outside the first sublayer 31. This reduces the impact of the first segment 51 and the second segment 52 forming a sealing structure on the preparation of the first encapsulation layer 5. This allows the material for preparing the first encapsulation layer 5 to be deposited more uniformly on the isolation structure 3 to form a complete encapsulation structure, thereby improving the yield and performance of the display panel.
[0070] Optionally, the first encapsulation layer 5 can be prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
[0071] Reference Figure 3 In some optional embodiments, 1.5a ≤ b ≤ 2.5a. By limiting b to not less than 1.5a, along the direction perpendicular to the substrate 1, the distance between the connection area 510 and the second sub-layer 32 can be at least 0.5a, thereby further reducing the impact of the sealing structure on the fabrication of the first encapsulation layer 5. By limiting b to not greater than 2.5a, problems such as the connection position between the first sub-layer 31 and the second sub-layer 32 being too far from the second sub-layer 32, making it difficult to form a gap space 500, requiring more encapsulation material, and easily leading to encapsulation failure can be reduced. This embodiment further improves the encapsulation effect of the first encapsulation layer 5. For example, the value of b can be 1.5a, 1.8a, 2a, 2.2a, or 2.5a. Optionally, b = 2a.
[0072] Optionally, the display panel further includes a second encapsulation layer 6 and a third encapsulation layer 8 disposed on the side of the first encapsulation layer 5 facing away from the substrate 1. The material of the second encapsulation layer 6 may include an organic material to give it good flowability and make the surface of the second encapsulation layer 6 facing away from the substrate 1 relatively flat. The material of the third encapsulation layer 8 may include an inorganic material to further improve the encapsulation effect of the display panel. Optionally, the second encapsulation layer 6 can be prepared using inkjet printing (IJP) technology; the third encapsulation layer 8 can be prepared using chemical vapor deposition.
[0073] Optionally, the display panel also includes a touch layer, a polarizing layer, and a cover plate disposed on the third encapsulation layer 8. The touch layer is used to enable touch operation of the display panel, the polarizing layer is used to filter light to improve the display effect of the display panel, and the cover plate is used to protect the underlying film layer to improve the strength of the display panel.
[0074] Reference Figure 2 In some optional embodiments, the display panel further includes a first electrode layer 71 and a second electrode layer 72. The first electrode layer 71 includes a first electrode 711 disposed between the substrate 1 and the light-emitting unit 41. The second electrode layer 72 includes a second electrode 721 located between the light-emitting unit 41 and the encapsulation portion 50. One of the first electrode 711 and the second electrode 721 can serve as an anode, and the other can serve as a cathode to drive the light-emitting unit 41 to emit light. In this embodiment, the first electrode 711 is used as the anode of the display panel, and the second electrode 721 is used as the cathode of the display panel for illustrative purposes.
[0075] In some optional embodiments, the isolation structure 3 is made of a conductive material, and the second electrode 721 is connected to the isolation structure 3. The isolation structure 3 separates the second electrode layer 72 to form mutually spaced second electrodes 721. The mutually spaced second electrodes 721 are electrically connected through the isolation structure 3 to form a full-surface electrode, ensuring the normal light emission of the light-emitting unit 41. Optionally, the material of the first sub-layer 31 may include a conductive material, and the second electrode 721 may be connected to the first sub-layer 31, so that the second electrodes 721 of adjacent sub-pixels can be electrically connected through the first sub-layer 31.
[0076] Optionally, when depositing the light-emitting layer 4 and the second electrode layer 72 of the display panel, the second sub-layer 32 can block at least part of the material used to prepare the light-emitting layer 4 and the second electrode layer 72, so as to isolate the light-emitting layer 4 and the second electrode layer 72 between adjacent sub-pixels, and facilitate the formation of multiple spaced light-emitting units 41 located in the isolation opening 30 and multiple spaced second electrodes 721 located in the isolation opening 30. This eliminates the need to set a high-precision mask when depositing the light-emitting layer 4 and the second electrode layer 72 of the display panel. For example, it eliminates the need to set a high-precision metal mask (FMM) when depositing the light-emitting layer 4 and the second electrode layer 72, thereby reducing the production cost of the display panel.
[0077] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a partial cross-sectional view of a display panel provided in another embodiment of this application.
[0078] Reference Figure 4In some optional embodiments, the isolation structure 3 further includes a third sub-layer 33 disposed on the side of the first sub-layer 31 facing the substrate 1, the third sub-layer 33 protruding from the first sub-layer 31 toward the isolation opening 30. The material of the third sub-layer 33 may include a conductive material, and the second electrode 721 may be connected to the third sub-layer 33, allowing electrical connection between the second electrodes 721 of adjacent sub-pixels through the third sub-layer 33. By configuring the third sub-layer 33 to protrude from the first sub-layer 31 toward the isolation opening 30, the third sub-layer 33 can have a larger size to facilitate connection with the second electrode 721.
[0079] Optionally, the light-emitting unit 41 may include a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), a light-emitting structure, an electron injection layer (EIL), and an electron transport layer (ETL).
[0080] In some optional embodiments, an array layer may be included between the substrate 1 and the light-emitting layer 4. The array layer may include a driving circuit. For example, the array layer may include a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and a third conductive layer disposed on one side of the substrate 1 and stacked thereon. An insulating layer is disposed between adjacent conductive layers. Exemplarily, the pixel driving circuit disposed in the array layer includes a transistor and a storage capacitor. The transistor includes a semiconductor, a gate, a source, and a drain. The storage capacitor includes a first electrode and a second electrode. As an example, the gate and the first electrode may be located in the first conductive layer, the second electrode may be located in the second conductive layer, and the source and drain may be located in the third conductive layer.
[0081] Combined with reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some optional embodiments, the display panel further includes a pixel definition layer 2 disposed on the side of the isolation structure 3 near the substrate 1. The pixel definition layer 2 includes a pixel limiting portion 21 and a plurality of pixel openings 22 formed by the pixel limiting portion 21. The orthographic projection of the pixel opening 22 on the substrate 1 is located within the orthographic projection of the isolation opening 30 on the substrate 1. At least a portion of the light-emitting units 41 are located within the pixel openings 22. The pixel limiting portion 21 has a first orthographic projection on the substrate 1, and the second sub-layer 32 has a second orthographic projection on the substrate 1. The first orthographic projection includes a projection portion located outside the second orthographic projection. The orthographic projection of the second segment 52 on the substrate 1 has a third boundary 5300 facing the isolation opening 30. The third boundary 5300 is located within the projection portion.
[0082] When the area where the pixel opening 22 is located is recessed, the light-emitting unit 41, the first encapsulation layer 5 and other structures are deposited on the pixel definition layer 2. They will adapt to the recess of the pixel opening 22. If the connection position between the second segment 52 and the first segment 51 is located in the recessed area of the first segment 51, the connection area 510 will be set away from the second segment 52 due to the influence of the recessed structure. This may easily lead to the failure of the connection between the first segment 51 and the second segment 52, which in turn leads to the failure of the encapsulation of the first encapsulation layer 5.
[0083] In these alternative embodiments, by defining the third boundary 5300 as being located within the projection portion, i.e., the third boundary 5300 being located directly above the pixel defining portion 21, the recess of the pixel opening 22 is avoided, thereby improving the encapsulation reliability of the first encapsulation layer 5.
[0084] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, within the same isolation opening 30, the distance between the third boundary 5300 and the second boundary 5200 is c, where b < c.
[0085] In these embodiments, by limiting b to be less than c, the connection position between the second segment 52 and the first segment 51 can be made to avoid the pixel opening 22 region in the thickness direction of the display panel. That is, the orthographic projection of the connection region 510 on the substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the pixel opening 22 on the substrate 1 do not overlap. This ensures that the connection region 510 is mainly located above the flat pixel limiting portion 21, reducing the impact of the pixel opening 22 structure on the connection between the second segment 52 and the first segment 51 to form a sealing structure. This allows the first segment 51 to support the second segment 52 more stably, improving the encapsulation reliability of the first encapsulation layer 5, and thus improving the yield and performance of the display panel. Optionally, the orthographic projection of the connection region 510 on the substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the pixel opening 22 on the substrate 1 are spaced apart.
[0086] Optionally, the opening area of the pixel opening 22 gradually increases along the direction away from the substrate 1. This arrangement of the pixel opening 22 facilitates the ramping of the light-emitting unit 41 and the second electrode 721, increases the light-emitting area of the light-emitting unit 41, and facilitates the connection of the second electrode 721 with the isolation structure 3 to form a full-surface electrode. The first segment 51 located on the pixel opening 22 is recessed towards the pixel opening 22, that is, the top surface 311 of the first segment 51 has an inner surface located in the recessed region and an outer surface located outside the recessed region. By limiting b to be less than c, the connection region 510 can be located on the outer surface, avoiding the connection region 510 being located on the inner surface, which would lead to poor encapsulation.
[0087] Combined with reference Figure 3 and Figure 5Optionally, the orthographic projection of the connection region 510 onto the substrate 1 includes a first boundary 5100 and a fourth boundary 5400. The fourth boundary 5400 is located on the side of the first boundary 5100 away from the isolation structure 3, and the distance between the fourth boundary 5400 and the second boundary 5200 is d, where d ≤ c. Optionally, both the first boundary 5100 and the fourth boundary 5400 are annular, with the fourth boundary 5400 located within the first boundary 5100, meaning the size of the fourth boundary 5400 is smaller than the size of the first boundary 5100, and the first boundary 5100 is closer to the isolation structure 3 than the fourth boundary 5400.
[0088] In these optional embodiments, by limiting d≤c, the connection areas 510 can all be located on the pixel limiting portion 21, thereby avoiding the pixel opening 22. That is, the connection areas 510 are all located above the pixel limiting portion 21, so that the first segment 51 can more stably support the second segment 52, improving the packaging reliability of the first encapsulation layer 5, and thus improving the yield and performance of the display panel.
[0089] Reference Figure 2 In some optional embodiments, the first segment 51 includes a main body 511 and a support portion 512. The support portion 512 is located on the side of the main body 511 away from the substrate 1 and extends toward the second segment 52. The connecting region 510 is located on the support portion 512. The support portion 512 and the second segment 52 are interconnected so that the first segment 51 and the second segment 52 participate in enclosing and forming a gap space 500.
[0090] Optionally, the end of the main body 511 facing the isolation structure 3 is connected to the end of the second segment 52 facing the substrate 1, so that the gap space 500 can be formed by the main body 511, the support 512 and the second segment 52, and there are two connection points between the first segment 51 and the second segment 52, which can better improve the structural stability of the first encapsulation layer 5, and further make it less likely to detach from the isolation structure 3, thereby better improving the encapsulation effect of the first encapsulation layer 5 on the display panel.
[0091] Optional, refer to Figure 3 The main body 511 includes a first portion 5111 and a second portion 5112 that are interconnected. The orthographic projection of the first portion 5111 onto the substrate 1 is located within the orthographic projection of the pixel opening 22 onto the substrate 1, and the orthographic projection of the second portion 5112 onto the substrate 1 is located within the orthographic projection of the pixel limiting portion 21 onto the substrate 1. One end of the main body 511 facing the isolation structure 3 is interconnected with one end of the second segment 52 facing the substrate 1, which means that one end of the second portion 5112 facing the isolation structure 3 is interconnected with one end of the second segment 52 facing the substrate 1. The gap space 500 can be formed by the second portion 5112, the support portion 512, and the second segment 52.
[0092] Optionally, the orthographic projection of the support portion 512 on the substrate 1 may at least partially overlap with the orthographic projection of the pixel limiting portion 21 on the substrate 1, that is, at least part of the support portion 512 may be located on the side of the pixel limiting portion 21 away from the substrate 1, so that the pixel limiting portion 21 can raise the position of the support portion 512 to facilitate the connection between the support portion 512 and the second segment 52.
[0093] Reference Figure 3 In some optional embodiments, the second segment 52 includes a first portion 521 disposed on the side of the second sublayer 32 facing the isolation opening 30, the support portion 512 being interconnected with the first portion 521 to enclose and form a gap space 500, and the first portion 521 extending toward the side away from the substrate 1.
[0094] The extension of the first part 521 toward the side away from the substrate 1 can be understood as: the end of the first part 521 away from the substrate 1 can extend upward beyond the second sublayer 32.
[0095] Optionally, at least a portion of the gap space 500 is located between the second sub-layer 32 and the substrate 1. Since the second sub-layer 32 protrudes from the first sub-layer 31 toward the isolation opening 30, the first portion 521 disposed on the side of the second sub-layer 32 toward the isolation opening 30 can be more easily connected to the support portion 512, that is, the support portion 512 can easily support the second segment 52, so that the second segment 52 is less likely to detach from the isolation structure 3.
[0096] Optionally, the second segment 52 further includes a second part 522 disposed on the side of the first sub-layer 31 facing the isolation opening 30. The first part 521 is spaced apart from the main body 511, and the second part 522 is spaced apart from the support part 512. The first part 521, the second part 522, the support part 512 and the main body 511 enclose a gap space 500.
[0097] Optionally, the end of the second portion 522 facing away from the substrate 1 can be connected to the first portion 521. Specifically, the end of the second portion 522 facing away from the substrate 1 can be integrally connected to the first portion 521 covering the surface of the second sublayer 32 facing the substrate 1. Optionally, the end of the second portion 522 facing the substrate 1 can be interconnected with the end of the main body portion 511 facing the isolation structure 3. For example, the end of the second portion 522 facing the substrate 1 can be interconnected with the end of the second segment 5112 facing the isolation structure 3. Optionally, the gap space 500 can be formed by the first portion 521, the second portion 522, the second segment 5112, and the support portion 512.
[0098] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first segment in a display panel provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0099] Combined with reference Figures 2 to 5 In some optional embodiments, the support portion 512 is annular in shape when projected onto the substrate 1, and the connecting region 510 is connected to the second segment 52 so that the first segment 51 and the second segment 52 enclose a gap space 500.
[0100] Optionally, the orthographic projection of the support portion 512 onto the substrate 1 is annular, meaning that the orthographic projection of the support portion 512 onto the substrate 1 is a closed annular shape, so as to form a sealed gap space 500. Optionally, the gap space 500 is a closed structure, wherein the sealed gap space 500 formed by the first segment 51 and the second segment 52 may not be connected to other external spaces, so as to further improve the structural stability of the first segment 51 and the second segment 52.
[0101] Optionally, the orthographic projection of the support portion 512 on the substrate 1 may surround the orthographic projection of the pixel opening 22 on the substrate 1. Optionally, the orthographic projection of the second segment 52 on the substrate 1 may surround the orthographic projection of the support portion 512 on the substrate 1.
[0102] In these optional embodiments, by setting the orthographic projection shape of the support portion 512 on the substrate 1 to be annular, the support portion 512 in the isolation opening 30 and the second segment 52 on the periphery of the isolation structure 3 have a large connection area, so that the support portion 512 in the isolation opening 30 can provide good support for the second segment 52 on the periphery of the isolation structure 3, thereby improving the supporting effect of the support portion 512 on the second segment 52, making it less likely for the first segment 51 to detach from the isolation structure 3, and thus improving the encapsulation effect of the first encapsulation layer 5 on the display panel.
[0103] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a partial cross-sectional view of a display panel provided in another embodiment of this application.
[0104] Reference Figure 6 In some optional embodiments, the encapsulation portion 50 further includes a third segment 53, which is located on the side of the second sublayer 32 facing away from the substrate 1. One end of the second segment 52 extends toward the side facing away from the substrate 1 and connects to the third segment 53. The third segment 53 is spaced apart from the isolation structure 3. The third segment 53, located on the side of the isolation structure 3 facing away from the substrate 1, can better improve the path for moisture to invade the light-emitting unit 41, thereby improving the encapsulation effect of the first encapsulation layer 5 on the light-emitting unit 41. Optionally, the third segment 53 is connected to the end of the second segment 52 facing away from the substrate 1.
[0105] Optionally, a support structure 61 may be filled between the third segment 53 and the isolation structure 3. The support structure 61 filled between the third segment 53 and the isolation structure 3 can provide better restraint for the third segment 53. For example, the support structure 61 filled between the third segment 53 and the isolation structure 3 can be used to support the third segment 53, making it less likely for the third segment 53 to break and fall off towards the isolation structure 3, thereby improving the structural stability of the first encapsulation layer 5.
[0106] Optionally, at least a portion of the material of the second encapsulation layer 6 may extend between the third segment 53 and the isolation structure 3 to form a support structure 61, so that a portion of the material of the second encapsulation layer 6 may also be used to support the third segment 53.
[0107] Optionally, at least part of the second encapsulation layer 6 may also be located on the side of the third segment 53 away from the isolation structure 3, so that the third segment 53 can be better wrapped by the second encapsulation layer 6, so as to further enhance the limiting effect of the second encapsulation layer 6 on the third segment 53, so that the second encapsulation layer 6 can restrict the third segment 53 from falling off and breaking towards the pixel opening 22, thereby improving the structural stability of the first encapsulation layer 5.
[0108] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6An embodiment of the first aspect of this application also provides a display panel, including a substrate 1, a pixel definition layer 2, an isolation structure 3, a light-emitting layer 4, and a first encapsulation layer 5; the pixel definition layer 2 includes a pixel defining portion 21 and a pixel opening 22 located on one side of the substrate 1; the isolation structure 3 is disposed on the side of the pixel defining portion 21 away from the substrate 1 and surrounds to form a plurality of isolation openings 30, the orthographic projection of the pixel opening 22 on the substrate 1 is located within the orthographic projection of the isolation opening 30 on the substrate 1, the isolation structure 3 includes a first sub-layer 31 and a second sub-layer 32 located on the side of the first sub-layer 31 away from the substrate 1, the first sub-layer 31 includes a top surface 311 away from the substrate 1 and a sidewall facing the opening, the second sub-layer 32 protrudes from the sidewall toward the isolation opening 30; the light-emitting layer 4 includes a plurality of light-emitting units 41, the light-emitting units 41 being at least partially located within the pixel opening 22; the first The encapsulation layer 5 includes a plurality of encapsulation portions 50 for encapsulating the light-emitting unit 41. Each encapsulation portion 50 includes a first segment 51 and a second segment 52 that are interconnected. The first segment 51 is located within the isolation opening 30 and is disposed on the side of the light-emitting unit 41 facing away from the substrate 1. The second segment 52 is located on the side of the isolation structure 3 facing away from the isolation opening 30. The surface of the first segment 51 facing away from the substrate 1 and the surface of the second segment 52 facing away from the isolation structure 3 are at least partially interconnected to enclose and form a gap space 500. The pixel defining portion 21 has a first orthographic projection on the substrate 1, and the second sublayer 32 has a second orthographic projection on the substrate 1. The first orthographic projection includes a projection portion located outside the second orthographic projection. The orthographic projection of the second segment 52 on the substrate 1 has a third boundary 5300 facing away from the isolation opening 30, and the third boundary 5300 is located within the projection portion.
[0109] In a display panel provided in this application embodiment, the display panel includes a substrate 1, a pixel defining layer 2, an isolation structure 3, light-emitting units 41, and a first encapsulation layer 5. A pixel defining portion 21 is disposed on one side of the substrate 1, and the isolation structure 3 is disposed on the side of the pixel defining portion 21 opposite to the substrate 1, forming an isolation opening 30. The orthographic projection of the pixel opening 22 on the substrate 1 lies within the orthographic projection of the isolation opening 30 on the substrate 1. The light-emitting units 41 are at least partially located within the pixel opening 22. The isolation structure 3 can be used to divide the sub-pixels of the display panel. The isolation structure 3 is disposed on the substrate 1 and forms a plurality of isolation openings 30 to isolate the light-emitting layer 4, forming mutually disconnected light-emitting units 41, thereby reducing crosstalk of charge carriers in the light-emitting layer 4, improving the display effect of the display panel, and eliminating the need for a precision mask in fabricating the light-emitting units 41, thus reducing the development and use of precision masks and lowering manufacturing costs.
[0110] The area where the pixel opening 22 is located forms a recess. When structures such as the light-emitting unit 41 and the first encapsulation layer 5 are deposited on the pixel definition layer 2, they adapt to the recess of the pixel opening 22. If the connection position between the second segment 52 and the first segment 51 is located in the recessed area of the first segment 51, the connection area 510 is set away from the second segment 52 due to the influence of the recessed structure, which can easily lead to the failure of the connection between the first segment 51 and the second segment 52, and thus the failure of the encapsulation of the first encapsulation layer 5. In this embodiment, by limiting the third boundary 5300 to be located within the projection portion, that is, the third boundary 5300 is located directly above the pixel definition portion 21, the recess of the pixel opening 22 is avoided, thereby improving the encapsulation reliability of the first encapsulation layer 5.
[0111] Optionally, the gap space 500 has a first boundary 5100 away from the isolation structure 3 in the orthographic projection of the substrate 1. This can be understood as: the connection point between the side surface of the first segment 51 away from the substrate 1 and the side surface of the second segment 52 away from the isolation structure 3 is defined as the connection area 510. The orthographic projection of the connection area 510 on the substrate 1 includes two boundaries, wherein the boundary closer to the isolation structure 3 coincides with the first boundary 5100, that is, the two are the same boundary.
[0112] In some optional embodiments, within the same isolation opening 30, the gap space 500 has a first boundary 5100 in the orthographic projection of the substrate 1 that is away from the isolation structure 3, and the top surface 311 has a second boundary 5200 in the orthographic projection of the substrate 1. The distance between the first boundary 5100 and the second boundary 5200 is b, and the distance between the third boundary 5300 and the second boundary 5200 is c, where b < c.
[0113] In these optional embodiments, by limiting b to be less than c, the connection position between the second segment 52 and the first segment 51 can be made to avoid the pixel opening 22 area in the thickness direction of the display panel. That is, there is a non-overlapping part between the orthographic projection of the connection area 510 on the substrate 1 and the orthographic projection of the pixel opening 22 on the substrate 1. This makes the connection area 510 mainly located above the flat pixel limiting part 21, reducing the influence of the pixel opening 22 structure on the connection between the second segment 52 and the first segment 51 to form a sealing structure. This allows the first segment 51 to support the second segment 52 more stably, improving the encapsulation reliability of the first encapsulation layer 5, and thus improving the yield and performance of the display panel.
[0114] Optionally, the orthographic projection of the connection region 510 onto the substrate 1 further includes a fourth boundary 5400. The fourth boundary 5400 is located on the side of the first boundary 5100 away from the isolation structure 3, and the distance between the fourth boundary 5400 and the second boundary 5200 is d, where d ≤ c. Optionally, both the first boundary 5100 and the fourth boundary 5400 are annular, with the fourth boundary 5400 located within the first boundary 5100. That is, the size of the fourth boundary 5400 is smaller than the size of the first boundary 5100, and the first boundary 5100 is closer to the isolation structure 3 than the fourth boundary 5400.
[0115] In these optional embodiments, by limiting d≤c, the connection areas 510 can all be located on the pixel limiting portion 21, thereby avoiding the pixel opening 22. That is, the connection areas 510 are all located above the pixel limiting portion 21, so that the first segment 51 can more stably support the second segment 52, improving the packaging reliability of the first encapsulation layer 5, and thus improving the yield and performance of the display panel.
[0116] Optionally, the display panel provided in the first aspect of this application can be the display panel in any of the foregoing embodiments. Therefore, the display panel provided in the embodiments of this application can have the beneficial effects of the display panel in any of the foregoing embodiments, and this application will not elaborate further on it. For example, the substrate 1 can be the substrate 1 in any of the foregoing embodiments. For example, the encapsulation portion 50 can be the encapsulation portion 50 in any of the foregoing embodiments. For example, the display panel may also include the first electrode layer 71 and the second electrode layer 72 in any of the foregoing embodiments. For example, the isolation structure 3 can be the isolation structure 3 in any of the foregoing embodiments. The isolation structure 3 may include the first sub-layer 31, the second sub-layer 32 and the third sub-layer 33 in any of the foregoing embodiments, so that the isolation structure 3 can be used to isolate the materials of the light-emitting layer 4 and the second electrode layer 72 when preparing the light-emitting layer 4 and the second electrode layer 72. The second electrodes 721 in adjacent isolation openings 30 can also be electrically connected to each other through the isolation structure 3 to form surface electrodes. For example, the display panel may also include the pixel opening 22 in any of the foregoing embodiments. The size of the pixel opening 22 gradually increases in the direction away from the substrate 1 to facilitate the ramping of the light-emitting unit 41 and the second electrode 721, thereby increasing the light-emitting area of the light-emitting unit 41 and facilitating the connection between the second electrode 721 and the isolation structure 3 to form a full-surface electrode. For example, the display panel may also include the second encapsulation layer 6 and the third encapsulation layer 8 in any of the foregoing embodiments to improve the flatness of the display panel and further enhance the encapsulation effect.
[0117] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application provides a display device that includes the display panel of any of the above embodiments.
