The pixel driving circuit is connected to the light-emitting unit to control the switching state and light brightness of the light-emitting unit.

[0044] refer to Figure 2-Figure 5 In a specific embodiment, the light-emitting unit 20 includes a first electrode 21, a light-emitting functional layer 22 and a second electrode 23. The first electrode 21 is located on the substrate 10, the light-emitting functional layer 22 is located on the side of the first electrode 21 away from the substrate 10, and the second electrode 23 is located on the side of the light-emitting functional layer 22 away from the substrate 10.

Specifically, when the first isolation portion 31 includes a conductive material, the second electrode 23 is electrically connected to the first sub-isolation portion 311. It should be noted that the first electrode 21 in this embodiment can be the anode of the light-emitting unit 20, and the second electrode 23 can be the cathode of the light-emitting unit 20.

[0045] Exemplarily, the light-emitting functional layer 22 includes a hole injection layer (HIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), an electron blocking layer (EBL), an emission layer (EML), a hole blocking layer (HBL), an electron transport layer (ETL) and an electron injection layer (EIL) stacked in sequence.

[0046] refer to Figure 2 In a specific embodiment, the display panel also includes a pixel defining layer, which is located on the substrate (located on the side of the isolation structure close to the substrate), the pixel defining layer includes a pixel defining portion 40 and a plurality of pixel openings 41 formed by the pixel defining portion, and at least a portion of the light-emitting device 20 is disposed in the pixel opening 41. Exemplarily, the material of the pixel defining portion 40 is an inorganic insulating material, and the pixel defining layer 40 covers the gap between adjacent first electrodes 21 and the edge of the first electrode 21. By providing the pixel defining layer, the first electrode 21 can be prevented from contacting the isolation structure 30, and the design area of ​​the first electrode 21 can be increased, so that the light-emitting unit 20 has a larger effective light-emitting area.

[0047] refer to Figure 2-Figure 4In a specific embodiment, the isolation structure 30 is located on the substrate 10, and the isolation structure 30 defines a plurality of first openings 34, the first openings 34 correspond to and are connected to the pixel openings 41, and the orthographic projection of the pixel openings 41 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the first openings 34 on the substrate 10, the isolation structure 30 includes a first isolation portion 31 and a second isolation portion 32, the second isolation portion 32 is located on a side of the first isolation portion 31 away from the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection of the first isolation portion 31 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection of the second isolation portion 32 on the substrate 10, wherein the first isolation portion 31 includes a first sub-isolation portion 311 and a second sub-isolation portion 312, the second sub-isolation portion 312 is located on a side of the first sub-isolation portion 311 away from the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection of the second sub-isolation portion 312 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection range of the first sub-isolation portion 311 on the substrate 10, and in one embodiment, the material of a part of the film layer of the first isolation portion is the same type of material as the material of the first encapsulation layer, such as the material of the first sub-isolation portion 311 is a conductive material, The material of the second sub-isolating portion 312 is the same as the material of the first encapsulation layer 50. Exemplarily, the material of the second isolating portion may be a metal material, such as titanium, the material of the first sub-isolating portion may be a metal material, such as aluminum or copper, and the material of the second sub-isolating portion 312 may be an inorganic material, such as silicon nitride, silicon oxide, titanium nitride, or silicon oxynitride. In a preferred embodiment, the material of the second sub-isolating portion 312 is the same as the material of the first encapsulation layer 50, such as the materials of the second sub-isolating portion 312 and the first encapsulation layer 50 are both silicon nitride. In this embodiment, by making the material of the second sub-isolating portion 312 and the material of the first encapsulation layer 50 the same, the second sub-isolating portion 312 and the first encapsulation layer 50 have good adhesion, so that the first encapsulation layer 50 and the second sub-isolating portion 312 are tightly bonded, and the first encapsulation layer 550 can form a closed-loop structure during encapsulation, thereby enhancing the encapsulation effect between the first encapsulation layer 50 and the isolation structure 30, thereby improving the encapsulation effect, service life and display effect of the display panel. In another embodiment, all film layer materials of the first isolation portion 31 are of the same type as the materials of the first encapsulation layer 50, such as the materials of the first sub-isolation portion 311 and the materials of the second sub-isolation portion 312 are of the same type as the materials of the first encapsulation layer 50. Exemplarily, the materials of the first sub-isolation portion 311 and the second sub-isolation portion 312 can both be inorganic materials, such as the material of the first sub-isolation portion 311 is silicon nitride or silicon oxide, and the material of the second sub-isolation portion 312 can be silicon nitride, silicon oxide, titanium nitride, or silicon oxynitride.In this embodiment, by making all the film layer materials of the first isolation portion 31 and the material of the first encapsulation layer 50 the same type of material, the first sub-isolation portion 311 and the second sub-isolation portion 312 have good adhesion to the first encapsulation layer 50, further enhancing the encapsulation effect between the first encapsulation layer 50 and the isolation structure 30, and improving the encapsulation effect, service life and display effect of the display panel. Furthermore, the material of the first sub-isolation portion 311 and the material of the second sub-isolation portion 312 may be the same or different. For example, the material of the first sub-isolation portion 311 and the material of the second sub-isolation portion 312 are both silicon nitride or silicon oxide. The material of the first sub-isolation portion 311 is different from the material of the second sub-isolation portion 312, such as the material of the first sub-isolation portion 311 is silicon oxide, and the material of the second sub-isolation portion 312 is silicon nitride. Furthermore, the adhesion between the second sub-isolation portion 312 and the first encapsulation layer 50 is greater than the adhesion between the first sub-isolation portion 311 and the first encapsulation layer 50. The material of the second sub-isolation portion 312 is the same as the material of the first encapsulation layer 50, such as the material of the second sub-isolation portion 312 and the first encapsulation layer 50 are both silicon nitride. This design avoids warping of the first encapsulation layer 50 when connecting the second sub-isolation portion 312 and the second isolation portion 32.

[0048] refer to Figure 2 In a specific embodiment, the side wall of the first isolation portion 31 close to the first opening 34 has a recessed portion C, and part of the first encapsulation layer 50 is located in the recessed portion C, that is, the first encapsulation layer 50 fills the recessed portion C. By setting the recessed portion C, the contact area between the first encapsulation layer 50 and the side wall surface of the isolation structure 30 is increased, thereby enhancing the durability of the first encapsulation layer 30 and extending the service life of the display panel. Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the side surface of the first sub-isolation portion 311 facing away from the substrate 10 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection range of the side surface of the second sub-isolation portion 312 close to the substrate 10 on the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection of the side surface of the first sub-isolation portion 311 facing away from the substrate 10 on the substrate is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the side surface of the first sub-isolation portion 312 close to the substrate 10 on the substrate 10, so that the connection surface of the first sub-isolation portion 311 and the second sub-isolation portion 312 has the recessed portion C, thereby increasing the contact area between the isolation structure 30 and the first encapsulation layer 50, and improving the encapsulation performance between the first encapsulation layer 50 and the isolation structure 30.

[0049] Furthermore, the isolation structure 30 also includes a third isolation portion 33, the orthographic projection of the first isolation portion 31 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection range of the third isolation portion 33 on the substrate 10, and the orthographic projection of the third isolation portion 33 on the substrate 10 is located within the orthographic projection range of the second isolation portion 32 on the substrate 10. In this embodiment, the third isolation portion 33 is arranged to protrude from the first isolation portion 31 toward the first opening 34, which is beneficial to improve the overlap rate of the second electrode 23 (cathode) and ensure effective transmission of the signal. Among them, the second electrode 23 of the light-emitting unit 20 overlaps with the third isolation portion 33, and when the first sub-isolation portion 311 includes a conductive material, the second electrode 23 overlaps with both the third isolation portion 33 and the first sub-isolation portion 311. Exemplarily, the material of the third isolation portion 33 includes a metal material, such as the material of the third isolation portion 33 is molybdenum (Mo) or indium tin oxide (ITO).

[0050] refer to Figure 2-Figure 5 In one embodiment, in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate 10 (Z direction), the size of the second sub-isolating portion 312 is the first size h1, and the first size h1 is 1000-8000 Angstroms; it should be noted that the first size in this embodiment specifically refers to the distance between the surface of the second sub-isolating portion 312 close to the substrate and the surface of the second sub-isolating portion 312 away from the substrate in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate 10 (Z direction). As a preferred embodiment, the first size h1 is 3000-6000 Angstroms. Since part of the film layer in the light-emitting unit needs to be evaporated in the first opening later, the distance between the edge of the orthographic projection of the second sub-isolating portion 312 on the substrate 10 and the edge of the orthographic projection of the second isolating portion 32 on the substrate 10 in the direction parallel to the surface of the substrate 10 (X direction) is limited to ensure that the thickness of part of the film layer in the light-emitting unit 20 is uniform and part of the film layer can be effectively overlapped with the first sub-isolating portion. Specifically, in the direction parallel to the surface of the substrate 10 (X direction), the distance between the edge of the second sub-isolation portion 312 close to the orthographic projection on the substrate 10 and the edge of the orthographic projection of the second isolation portion 32 on the substrate 10 is the first length L1. The length of the first length L1 is defined from two aspects below.

[0051] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3On the one hand, in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate 10 (Z direction), the distance between the surface of the first isolation portion 31 facing away from the substrate 10 and the surface of the third isolation portion 33 close to the substrate 10 is a second dimension h2, and the second dimension h2 is 6000-10000 angstroms. It should be noted that the second dimension h2 here refers to the overall dimension (height) of the first isolation portion 31 and the third isolation portion 33 in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate 10 (Z direction). Furthermore, the angle between the edge of the surface of the second sub-isolating portion 312 close to the substrate 10 side and the connecting surface P1 between the edge of the surface of the second isolation portion 32 close to the substrate 10 side and the surface P2 perpendicular to the substrate 10 is the first angle a. The first angle a is between 10-25°. As a preferred embodiment, the first angle a is between 10-15°. Furthermore, the first distance L1 is not less than the product of the tangent value of the first angle a and the first dimension h1, that is, L1≥tana*h1. This arrangement avoids the second sub-isolating portion 312 from being too long in the direction parallel to the surface of the substrate 10 (X direction), which affects the subsequent evaporation of part of the functional film layer 20 in the light-emitting unit, and is beneficial to ensuring the uniformity of the thickness of part of the functional film layer of the light-emitting unit 20 and the effectiveness of the evaporation.

[0052] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 On the other hand, in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate 10 (Z direction), the distance between the surface of the first sub-isolating portion 311 facing away from the substrate 10 and the surface of the third isolating portion 33 close to the substrate 10 is a third dimension h3, and the third dimension h3 is between 6000 and 10000 angstroms; it can be understood that, that is, in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate 10 (Z direction), the third dimension h3 is the overall dimension (height) of the first sub-isolating portion 311 and the third isolating portion 33. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the second sub-isolating layer 312 is regarded as the entire isolation layer. Another second isolation portion 32 (eaves portion) of the structure 30 also serves as a shielding and protective function, so the distance between the edge of the orthographic projection of the second sub-isolation portion 312 on the substrate 10 and the edge of the orthographic projection of the second isolation portion 32 on the substrate 10 in the direction parallel to the surface of the substrate 10 (X direction) does not need to be limited in this aspect, but in a general manufacturing process, the orthographic projection of the second sub-isolation portion 312 on the substrate 10 is located within the range of the orthographic projection of the second isolation portion 32 on the substrate 10, that is, the second isolation 32 is arranged to protrude from the second sub-isolation portion 312 toward the first opening 34.

[0053] refer to Figure 5In a specific embodiment, the first encapsulation layer 50 includes a plurality of encapsulation parts, the encapsulation parts are located on the side of the corresponding light-emitting unit 20 away from the substrate 10, and extend along the side wall of the isolation structure 30 to the side of the isolation structure 30 away from the substrate 10. Exemplarily, the material of the first encapsulation layer 50 (encapsulation part) is an inorganic material, such as the material of the first encapsulation layer can be one or a combination of silicon nitride, silicon oxide or aluminum oxide. Preferably, the material of the first encapsulation layer can be silicon nitride; the display panel also includes a second encapsulation layer 60 and a third encapsulation layer 70, the second encapsulation layer 60 is located on the side of the first encapsulation layer 50 away from the substrate 10, and the third encapsulation layer 70 is located on the side of the second encapsulation layer 60 away from the substrate 10. For example, the material of the third encapsulation layer 70 includes an inorganic material, and for example, the material of the second encapsulation layer 60 includes an organic material. In this way, multi-layer encapsulation is achieved by the first encapsulation layer 50, the second encapsulation layer 60 and the third encapsulation layer 70, which can further improve the encapsulation performance and the reliability of the display panel. The inorganic layer and the organic layer are stacked to provide protection for the display panel. Inorganic materials generally have good density and can isolate water vapor and oxygen. Organic materials have flexible characteristics. Using organic materials as a second encapsulation layer can buffer stress from the outside world and prevent the display panel from being affected by external stress. At the same time, it can reduce the risk of encapsulation failure caused by inorganic layer breakage.
