[0069] The technical solutions in some embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments provided in this disclosure are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0070] In this disclosure, the meanings of “on,” “above,” and “above” should be interpreted in the broadest possible sense, such that “on” means not only “directly on” something, but also includes “on” something with intermediate features or layers in between, and “above” or “above” means not only “above” or “above” something, but also “above” or “above” something without intermediate features or layers in between (i.e., directly on something).
[0071] Unless the context otherwise requires, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" and its other forms, such as the third-person singular "comprises" and the present participle "comprising," are interpreted as open-ended and encompassing, meaning "including, but not limited to." In the description of the specification, terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "exemplary embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., are intended to indicate that a particular feature, structure, material, or characteristic associated with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this disclosure. The illustrative representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics mentioned may be included in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
[0072] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0073] In describing some embodiments, the term "connection" and its derivative expressions may be used. The term "connection" should be interpreted broadly; for example, "connection" can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms herein based on the specific circumstances.
[0074] "At least one of A, B and C" has the same meaning as "at least one of A, B or C", both including the following combinations of A, B and C: only A, only B, only C, combinations of A and B, combinations of A and C, combinations of B and C, and combinations of A, B and C.
[0075] "A and / or B" includes the following three combinations: A only, B only, and a combination of A and B.
[0076] As used herein, “vertical” includes the described situation and situations that are similar to the described situation, within an acceptable range of deviation, which is determined by those skilled in the art taking into account the measurement under discussion and the error associated with the measurement of a particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, “vertical” includes absolute verticality and approximate verticality, where an acceptable range of deviation for approximate verticality could, for example, be within 5°.
[0077] It should be understood that when a layer or element is referred to as being on another layer or substrate, it can mean that the layer or element is directly on the other layer or substrate, or that there is an intermediate layer between the layer or element and the other layer or substrate.
[0078] This document describes exemplary embodiments with reference to cross-sectional views and / or plan views, which are idealized exemplary drawings. In the drawings, the thickness of layers and regions is enlarged for clarity. Therefore, variations in shape relative to the drawings are contemplated due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Thus, exemplary embodiments should not be construed as limited to the shapes of the regions shown herein, but rather include shape deviations due to, for example, manufacturing processes. For example, etched regions shown as rectangular would typically have curved features. Therefore, the regions shown in the drawings are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to show the actual shapes of the regions of the device, nor are they intended to limit the scope of the exemplary embodiments.
[0079] The term "relative" means that the first element can be directly or indirectly relative to the second element. In the case where the third element is between the first and second elements, although they are still relative to each other, the first and second elements can be understood as being indirectly relative to each other.
[0080] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a display device 1000, which can be any device that displays images, whether moving (e.g., video) or fixed (e.g., still images) and whether it is text or images.
[0081] For example, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the display device 1000 can be any product or component with display function, such as a television, laptop computer, tablet computer, mobile phone, in-vehicle display, in-flight display, personal digital assistant (PDA), navigator, wearable device, virtual reality (VR) device, signboard, electronic billboard and shopping mall display.
[0082] For example, as shown in Figure 1, the display device 1000 can be a mobile phone as shown in Figure 1. As another example, as shown in Figure 2, the display device 1000 can be a vehicle-mounted display as shown in Figure 2. Depending on the application scenario, the shape of the display surface of the display device 1000 can be approximately circular, elliptical, polygonal, or an irregular shape; this disclosure does not specifically limit this.
[0083] In this article, "circular or elliptical" includes shapes that are generally circular or elliptical, but is not limited to standard circular or elliptical shapes. That is, "circular or elliptical" here includes not only basic circular or elliptical shapes, but also shapes that resemble circles or ellipses. For example, "circular or elliptical" includes not only curves with uniform curvature, but also smooth curves; that is, a circular or elliptical shape can include multiple connected broken line segments that approximate an arc shape.
[0084] In this article, "polygon" includes shapes that are polygonal in shape as a whole, but is not limited to standard polygons. That is, "polygon" here includes not only the shape of a basic polygon, but also shapes that resemble polygons. For example, a polygon whose two adjacent sides are curved at each intersection (i.e., at a corner), meaning the corner is smooth and the shape is a rounded polygon.
[0085] In some embodiments, referring to FIG3, the display device 1000 includes a display panel 100, which may include, for example, a display side 100A and a non-display side 100B disposed opposite to each other. The display side 100A refers to the side of the display panel 100 where the screen is displayed, and the non-display side 100B refers to the other side opposite to the display side.
[0086] In some embodiments, referring to FIG3, the display device 1000 may further include a housing 200, a cover plate 300, a circuit board 400, and other electronic components (e.g., a touch chip), which is disposed on the display panel 100, or the touch chip is disposed on the circuit board 400. The housing 200 and the cover plate 300 are connected to form a receiving cavity, and the display panel 100 and the circuit board 400 are connected to provide display signals to the display panel 100. The display panel 100 and the circuit board 400 may be disposed within the receiving cavity.
[0087] For example, as shown in FIG3, the housing 200 can be a box-shaped structure with an opening. The display panel 100 and the circuit board 400 can be disposed inside the housing 200, and the cover plate 300 is disposed on the display side of the display panel 100 and located at the opening of the housing 200. The circuit board 400 can be bound to the end of the display panel 100 and bent to the back side of the display panel 100 to reduce the bezel of the display panel 100 and increase the screen-to-body ratio.
[0088] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG4, the display panel 100 includes a display area A and a peripheral area B disposed on at least one side of the display area A. FIG4 illustrates an example where the peripheral area B surrounds the display area A.
[0089] As shown in Figures 4, 5A, and 6, display area A is the area for displaying images and is configured to house multiple light-emitting devices 20. Exemplarily, display panel 100 includes a substrate 10 and multiple light-emitting devices 20, which are disposed on one side of the substrate 10 and located in display area A. Here, the multiple light-emitting devices 20 can emit different colors. For example, the multiple light-emitting devices 20 may include a red light-emitting device R (emitting red), a green light-emitting device G (emitting green), and a blue light-emitting device B (emitting blue) to achieve full-color display. Alternatively, the multiple light-emitting devices 20 may emit white light, and display panel 100 may also include a red filter, a green filter, and a blue filter. These filters convert the white light into the corresponding colors to achieve full-color display.
[0090] Furthermore, the display panel 100 includes a pixel driving circuit, which includes a plurality of thin-film transistors 210. Each thin-film transistor 210 includes an active layer, a source, a drain, a gate, and a gate insulating layer, with the source and drain respectively in contact with the active layer. The light-emitting device 20 includes a first electrode 21, a light-emitting functional layer 22, and a second electrode 23, with the first electrode 21 connected to one thin-film transistor 210. At this time, the display panel 100 also includes a planarization layer PLN disposed between the thin-film transistor 210 and the first electrode 21.
[0091] The second electrode 23 can be a continuous, solid-layer structure. Furthermore, the display panel 100 also includes a pixel defining layer (PDL), which is disposed on one side of the substrate 10. The PDL includes multiple openings, within which the first electrode 21, the light-emitting functional layer 22, and the second electrode 23 overlap. The light-emitting device 20 is the overlapping portion of the first electrode 21, the light-emitting functional layer 22, and the second electrode 23; that is, one light-emitting device 20 is disposed in one opening.
[0092] The aforementioned light-emitting functional layer 22 includes only the light-emitting layer. Furthermore, the light-emitting functional layer 22 may also include at least one of the following: an electron transport layer (ETL), an electron injection layer (EIL), a hole transport layer (HTL), and a hole injection layer (HIL).
[0093] As shown in Figure 4, the peripheral area B is an area where no image is displayed. The peripheral area B is configured to set up circuit structures such as display driving circuit and circuit wiring, for example, touch lead 30.
[0094] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5A, 5B, and 6, the display panel 100 includes a first light-shielding layer 40 disposed on the side of the plurality of light-emitting devices 20 away from the substrate 10. The first light-shielding layer 40 has a first opening 41, and in a projected image onto the substrate 10, the light-emitting devices 20 at least partially overlap with the first opening 41. For example, in a projected image onto the substrate 10, the light-emitting devices 20 are located within the first opening 41. Here, in a projected image onto the substrate 10, the light-emitting devices 20 being located within the first opening 41 includes the boundary of the light-emitting devices 20 coinciding with the boundary of the first opening 41, and a gap existing between the boundary of the light-emitting devices 20 and the boundary of the first opening 41.
[0095] The shape of the first opening 41 can be any of the following: circular, elliptical, polygonal, or irregular shape. For example, the shape of the first opening 41 can be rectangular, but this is not the limitation of the present disclosure embodiments. For example, the shape of the first opening 41 can be the same as the shape of the opening of the pixel definition layer (PDL), but this is not the limitation of the present disclosure embodiments.
[0096] The material of the first light-shielding layer 40 mentioned above includes a light-shielding material, which includes a base material such as a black pigment (e.g., carbon black) and an organic resin. For example, the light-shielding material includes black ink.
[0097] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6, the display panel 100 further includes a first encapsulation layer 51, which is disposed on the side of the first light-shielding layer 40 near the substrate 10, so as to provide insulation protection for the light-emitting device 20 and reduce the risk of water and oxygen erosion of the light-emitting device 20.
[0098] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6, the display panel 100 further includes a touch layer 60, which is disposed on the side of the light-emitting device 20 away from the substrate 10. For example, the touch layer 60 is disposed on the side of the first light-shielding layer 40 away from the substrate 10. Alternatively, the display panel 100 may also include a protective layer 52, which is disposed on the side of the first light-shielding layer 40 away from the substrate 10, and the touch layer 60 is disposed on the side of the protective layer 52 away from the first light-shielding layer 40, to prevent damage to the first light-shielding layer 40 during the fabrication of the touch layer 60. The material of the protective layer 52 includes organic materials, such as resin. Another example is that the touch layer 60 is disposed between the first light-shielding layer 40 and the light-emitting device 20. FIG6 illustrates an example where the touch layer 60 is disposed on the side of the first light-shielding layer 40 away from the substrate 10.
[0099] As shown in Figure 4, the area defined by the touch layer 60 is the touch area T. The boundary of the display area A can be located within the boundary of the touch area T, or the boundary of the display area A can coincide with the boundary of the touch area T, so that the entire display area A can achieve human-computer interaction through touch. Of course, the boundary of the touch area T can also be located within the boundary of the touch area T, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.
[0100] For example, as shown in FIG4, the touch layer 60 includes a plurality of first touch structures 61 and a plurality of second touch structures 62. The first touch structures 61 extend along a first direction X, and the second touch structures 62 extend along a second direction Y. The first touch structures 61 and the second touch structures 62 are respectively connected to the touch chip through touch leads 30. The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect; for example, the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular.
[0101] As shown in Figure 4, at least one capacitive node is formed between a first touch structure 61 and a second touch structure 62. In display area A, multiple first touch structures 61 and multiple second touch structures 62 form multiple capacitive nodes arranged in an array.
[0102] For example, referring to FIG4, the first touch structure 61 includes a first touch electrode block 611 and a first connecting portion 612. Multiple first touch electrode blocks 611 of multiple first touch structures 61 are spaced apart and arranged in multiple rows and columns. The row direction of the multiple rows and columns of first touch electrode blocks 611 can be, for example, the first direction X mentioned above, and the column direction can be, for example, the second direction Y mentioned above. Along the row direction (first direction X) of the multiple first touch electrode blocks 611, each first connecting portion 612 connects two adjacent first touch electrode blocks 611.
[0103] Furthermore, the first touch structure 61 may also include a second connecting portion 613. Along the second direction Y, one second connecting portion 613 connects two adjacent first touch electrode blocks 611, so that at least two rows of adjacent first touch electrode blocks 611 are connected to form a first touch structure 61. This helps to reduce the number of touch leads 30 and reduce the bezel of the display panel 100. Figure 4 illustrates an example of two rows of first touch electrode blocks 611 connected by a first connecting portion 612 and a second connecting portion 613 to form a first touch structure 61.
[0104] It should be noted that the first touch structure 61 may also include a row of first touch electrode blocks 611, that is, the first touch structure 61 may not include the second connecting part 613. The first touch structure 61 may also include three or more rows of first touch electrode blocks 611. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.
[0105] For example, referring to FIG4, the second touch structure 62 includes a second touch electrode block 621 and a third connecting portion 622. Multiple second touch electrode blocks 621 of the multiple second touch structures 62 are spaced apart and arranged in multiple rows and columns. The row direction of the multiple rows and columns of the second touch electrode blocks 621 can be, for example, the first direction X mentioned above, and the column direction can be, for example, the second direction Y mentioned above. In the orthographic projection onto the substrate 10 (see FIG6), the first connecting portion 612 and the third connecting portion 622 overlap, and along the column direction (second direction Y) of the arrangement of the multiple second touch electrode blocks 621, each third connecting portion 622 connects two adjacent second touch electrode blocks 621.
[0106] Furthermore, the second touch structure 62 may also include a fourth connecting portion 623. Along the first direction X, one fourth connecting portion 623 connects two adjacent second touch electrode blocks 621, so that at least two adjacent rows of second touch electrode blocks 621 are connected to form a second touch structure 62. This helps to reduce the number of touch leads 30 and reduce the bezel of the display panel 100. Figure 4 illustrates an example of two rows of second touch electrode blocks 621 connected by a third connecting portion 622 and a fourth connecting portion 623 to form a second touch structure 62.
[0107] It should be noted that the second touch structure 62 may also include a row of second touch electrode blocks 621, that is, the second touch structure 62 may not include the fourth connecting part 623. The second touch structure 62 may also include three or more rows of second touch electrode blocks 621. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.
[0108] At this point, a first touch electrode block 611 and an adjacent second touch electrode block 621 form a capacitive node. Pulses or alternating voltages applied by the touch chip to the first touch structure 61 can induce charges on the second touch structure 62, and the amount of induced charge is easily affected by external factors (e.g., a finger touching or approaching). In other words, when a finger touches or approaches the capacitive node, a capacitance change occurs at the capacitive node, and the touch chip can measure this capacitance change through the second touch structure 62. Based on the measured capacitance change across the entire touch layer 60, the position of the finger touching or approaching within the touch area T is determined.
[0109] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5A, 5B, and 6, the touch layer 60 is provided with a second opening 601, which, in a projected orthographic projection onto the substrate 10, at least partially overlaps with the light-emitting device 20. For example, in a projected orthographic projection onto the substrate 10, the light-emitting device 20 is located within the second opening 601. Here, the light-emitting device 20 being located within the second opening 601 in a projected orthographic projection onto the substrate 10 includes the boundary of the light-emitting device 20 coinciding with the boundary of the second opening 601, and a gap existing between the boundary of the light-emitting device 20 and the boundary of the second opening 601.
[0110] The shape of the second opening 601 can be any of a circle, ellipse, polygon, or irregular shape, and this disclosure does not specifically limit it. For example, the shape of the second opening 601 can be the same as the shape of the opening of the pixel definition layer (PDL), but this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0111] In some embodiments, referring to FIG6, in the first opening 41 and the second opening 601, the one closer to the substrate 10 is the first target opening M1, and the one farther from the substrate 10 is the second target opening M2. In an orthographic projection onto the substrate 10, the second target opening M2 is located within the first target opening M1. Alternatively, a portion of the second target opening M2 is located outside the first target opening M1, and the distance between the boundary of the portion of the second target opening M2 outside the first target opening M1 and the boundary of the first target opening M1 is less than or equal to 3 μm. Here, in an orthographic projection onto the substrate 10, the second target opening M2 being located within the first target opening M1 includes the boundary of the second target opening M2 coinciding with the boundary of the first target opening M1, and a gap existing between the boundary of the second target opening M2 and the boundary of the first target opening M1.
[0112] In this configuration, the film layer containing the first target opening M1 can be used to separate the light emitted from different light-emitting devices 20, absorb stray light between adjacent light-emitting devices 20, and reduce the mutual interference between the light emitted by the light-emitting devices 20. The film layer containing the second target opening M2 can be used to block the large-angle light emitted by the light-emitting devices 20, reducing the viewing angle of the display panel 100 and meeting the user's privacy requirements. Thus, the touch layer 60 can not only be used to implement touch design but also can be laid over a large area to achieve the light-blocking function of privacy design. The display panel 100 does not need to add a new light-blocking layer to meet the user's privacy requirements, simplifying the process, reducing manufacturing costs, and improving production efficiency.
[0113] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6, the touch layer 60 is disposed on the side of the first light-shielding layer 40 away from the substrate 10. In this case, the first opening 41 is the first target opening M1, and the first light-shielding layer 40 is used to separate the light emitted from different light-emitting devices 20, absorb stray light between adjacent light-emitting devices 20, and reduce the mutual interference between the light emitted by the light-emitting devices 20. The second opening 601 is the second target opening M2, and the touch layer 60 can be laid over a large area to block the large-angle light emitted by the light-emitting devices 20, reducing the viewing angle of the display panel 100 and meeting the user's privacy requirements. In this case, the first light-shielding layer 40 has a good light absorption effect, the risk of mutual interference between the light emitted by different light-emitting devices 20 is low, and the display effect of the display panel 100 is good.
[0114] The following example illustrates some embodiments of this disclosure, with the touch layer 60 disposed on the side of the first light-shielding layer 40 away from the substrate 10. However, the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto.
[0115] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5A and 5B, the plurality of second openings 601 may include a privacy opening 601A and a shared opening 601B. In an orthographic projection onto the substrate 10 (see Figure 6), a privacy opening 601A at least partially overlaps with a light-emitting device 20. For example, in an orthographic projection onto the substrate 10, a light-emitting device 20 is located within a privacy opening 601A.
[0116] It should be noted that the aperture ratio of the privacy opening 601A can be, for example, 4.5% to 7.5%, and this embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit it. The aperture ratio of the shared opening 601B can be, for example, 13.5% to 16.5%, and this embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit it.
[0117] As shown in Figures 5A, 5B, and 6, in the orthographic projection onto the substrate 10, a shared opening 601B at least partially overlaps with at least one light-emitting device 20. Here, the overlapping area of the shared opening 601B and the light-emitting device 20 can, for example, be larger than the overlapping area of the privacy opening 601A and the light-emitting device 20; this embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit this. The orthographic projection of the privacy opening 601A onto the substrate 10 can, for example, be a circle, a square, or a rounded square; this embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit this. The orthographic projection of the shared opening 601B onto the substrate 10 can, for example, be a strip structure; this embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit this. For example, as shown in Figures 5A and 6, in the orthographic projection onto the substrate 10, multiple light-emitting devices 20 are located within a shared opening 601B, and the multiple light-emitting devices 20 can be arranged along a first direction X. For example, as shown in Figures 5B and 6, in the orthographic projection onto the substrate 10, one light-emitting device 20 is located within a shared opening 601B. In this way, at least a portion of the light-emitting device 20 located within the same shared opening 601B can emit light at a wide angle without being blocked by the touch layer 60, resulting in a wider viewing angle for the display panel 100.
[0118] At this time, the display panel 100 can have a privacy mode and a sharing mode. In privacy mode, the light-emitting device 20 located in the privacy opening 601A emits light, while the light-emitting device 20 located in the sharing opening 601B does not emit light. The viewing angle of the display panel 100 is narrower, which can meet the user's privacy needs. In sharing mode, the light-emitting device 20 located in the privacy opening 601A does not emit light, while the light-emitting device 20 located in the sharing opening 601B emits light, or both the light-emitting device 20 located in the privacy opening 601A and the light-emitting device 20 located in the sharing opening 601B emit light. The viewing angle of the display panel 100 is wider, which can meet the user's sharing needs with others.
[0119] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, the plurality of privacy openings 601A includes a plurality of privacy opening groups 600. Each privacy opening group 600 includes at least two adjacent privacy openings 601A, and the privacy openings 601A of one privacy opening group 600 overlap with a light-emitting device 20 of the same color. For example, referring to Figure 5A, the plurality of privacy opening groups 600 includes a red opening group R601A, a green opening group G601A, and a blue opening group B601A. The privacy openings 601A of the red opening group R601A overlap with the red light-emitting device R, the privacy openings 601A of the green opening group G601A overlap with the green light-emitting device G, and the privacy openings 601A of the blue opening group B601A overlap with the blue light-emitting device B. Here, in the privacy opening group 600, the plurality of privacy openings 601A can be arranged in multiple rows and columns, with each row including at least one privacy opening 601A and each column including at least one privacy opening 601A. Furthermore, the adjacent rows of privacy openings 601A are staggered in the column direction, or at least partially opposite in the column direction among the adjacent rows of privacy openings 601A. This embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit this.
[0120] In this embodiment, multiple privacy screen opening groups 600 are arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns, and multiple shared openings 601B are also arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns. Here, the first direction X can be, for example, the row direction of the multiple rows and multiple columns of privacy screen opening groups 600 and the multiple rows and multiple columns of shared openings 601B, and the second direction Y can be, for example, the column direction of the multiple rows and multiple columns of privacy screen opening groups 600 and the multiple rows and multiple columns of shared openings 601B. Alternatively, the first direction X can be, for example, the column direction of the multiple rows and multiple columns of privacy screen opening groups 600 and the multiple rows and multiple columns of shared openings 601B, and the second direction Y can be, for example, the row direction of the multiple rows and multiple columns of privacy screen opening groups 600 and the multiple rows and multiple columns of shared openings 601B. This embodiment does not specifically limit the specific direction of the ...
[0121] The following description uses the first direction X as the row direction of the multi-row, multi-column privacy opening group 600 and the multi-row, multi-column shared opening 601B, and the second direction Y as the column direction of the multi-row, multi-column privacy opening group 600 and the multi-row, multi-column shared opening 601B, as examples to illustrate some embodiments of this disclosure. However, the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto. Furthermore, the following refers to one row of privacy opening group 600 as privacy opening group row H1, and one row of shared opening 601B as shared opening row H2.
[0122] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, two rows of shared opening rows H2 are arranged adjacently, and two rows of privacy opening groups H1 are arranged adjacently. Furthermore, in the column direction (e.g., the second direction Y), the two adjacent rows of shared opening rows H2 and the two adjacent rows of privacy opening groups H1 are arranged alternately, which helps to improve the uniformity of display brightness in shared mode and privacy mode. Of course, the privacy opening group rows H1 and the shared opening rows H2 can also be arranged in other ways, for example, four rows of privacy opening group rows H1 and four rows of shared opening rows H2 are arranged alternately in the column direction; this embodiment does not specifically limit this arrangement.
[0123] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, in two adjacent rows of privacy shutter groups H1, one row of privacy shutter group H1 includes multiple red shutter groups R601A and multiple green shutter groups G601A, which are arranged alternately in the row direction (first direction X). The other row of privacy shutter group H1 includes multiple blue shutter groups B601A, which are arranged sequentially in the row direction. At this time, in the column direction, the red shutter groups R601A and green shutter groups G601A are at least partially opposite to the blue shutter groups B601A, so that the red shutter group R601A, the green shutter group G601A, and the blue shutter group B601A can form the color information of a pixel by mixing the light emitted by the red light-emitting device R, the green light-emitting device G, and the blue light-emitting device B. Furthermore, multiple privacy openings 601A of a privacy opening group 600 overlap with light-emitting devices 20 of the same color, and the spacing between privacy opening groups 600 can be set to be larger, which helps to avoid other light-blocking designs and improve pixel density.
[0124] The aforementioned red opening group R601A, green opening group G601A, and blue opening group B601A can also be arranged in other ways. For example, in two adjacent rows of privacy opening groups H1, one row of privacy opening groups H1 can also include multiple red opening groups R601A and multiple blue opening groups B601A, with the red opening groups R601A and blue opening groups B601A alternating in the row direction (first direction X). Another row of privacy opening groups H1 includes multiple green opening groups G601A, with the multiple green opening groups G601A arranged sequentially in the row direction. This embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit this arrangement.
[0125] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, in two adjacent rows of shared openings H2, one row of shared openings H2 includes multiple red shared openings R601B and multiple green shared openings G601B, which are arranged alternately in the row direction. The other row of shared openings H2 includes multiple blue shared openings B601B, which are arranged sequentially in the row direction. Referring to Figures 5B, 7, and 8, the red shared openings R601B overlap with the red light-emitting device R, the green shared openings G601B overlap with the green light-emitting device G, and the blue shared openings B601B overlap with the blue light-emitting device B. At this time, in the column direction, the red shared opening R601B and the green shared opening G601B are at least partially opposite to the blue shared opening B601B, so that the red shared opening R601B, the green shared opening G601B and the blue shared opening B601B can form the color information of a pixel by mixing the light emitted by the red light-emitting device R, the green light-emitting device G and the blue light-emitting device B.
[0126] The aforementioned red shared opening R601B, green shared opening G601B, and blue shared opening B601B can also be arranged in other ways. For example, in two adjacent rows of shared openings H2, one row of shared openings H2 includes multiple red shared openings R601B and multiple blue shared openings B601B, which are arranged alternately in the row direction. The other row of shared openings H2 includes multiple green shared openings G601B, which are arranged sequentially in the row direction. This embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit this arrangement.
[0127] Based on this, the shared opening 601B can be, for example, a polygon. In the orthographic projection onto the substrate 10, at least one corner of the shared opening 601B is arc-shaped, which reduces the fabrication difficulty of the shared opening 601B. For example, the shared opening 601B can be rectangular, with the corners of two adjacent rows of shared openings 601B that are close together being arc-shaped, and the corners that are far apart being straight corners. Of course, all corners of the shared opening 601B can also be arc-shaped, but this embodiment does not specifically limit this.
[0128] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 7 and 8, the red opening group R601A and the red shared opening R601B are arranged in the column direction. For example, in the column direction, all the privacy openings 601A of a red opening group R601A are opposite to a red shared opening R601B. In this way, the red light-emitting devices R corresponding to the red opening group R601A and the red shared opening R601B can form sub-pixels that emit red light, which is beneficial to improving the display effect. The green opening group G601A and the green shared opening G601B are arranged in the column direction. For example, in the column direction, all the privacy openings 601A of a green opening group G601A are opposite to a green shared opening G601B. In this way, the green light-emitting devices G corresponding to the green opening group G601A and the green shared opening G601B can form sub-pixels that emit green light, which is beneficial to improving the display effect. Blue opening group B601A and blue shared opening B601B are arranged in the column direction. For example, in the column direction, all the privacy openings 601A of a blue opening group B601A are opposite to a blue shared opening B601B. In this way, the blue light-emitting device B corresponding to the blue opening group B601A and the blue shared opening B601B can form a sub-pixel that emits blue light, which helps to improve the display effect.
[0129] In some embodiments, referring to FIG7, the red opening group R601A includes 4 privacy openings 601A, the green opening group G601A includes 10 privacy openings 601A, and the blue opening group B601A includes 12 privacy openings 601A. Thus, the red light-emitting device R, green light-emitting device G, and blue light-emitting device B corresponding to adjacent red opening groups R601A, green opening groups G601A, and blue opening groups B601A have higher brightness and better color mixing effect.
[0130] For example, in the red opening group R601A, the four privacy openings 601A can be arranged in two rows and two columns. In the green opening group G601A, the ten privacy openings 601A can be arranged in two rows and five columns. In the blue opening group B601A, the twelve privacy openings 601A can be arranged in two rows and six columns. Furthermore, along the row direction, the privacy openings 601A of the red opening group R601A can be at least partially opposite to the privacy openings 601A of the green opening group G601A; along the column direction, at least one privacy opening 601A of the blue opening group B601A is at least partially opposite to the privacy opening 601A of the red opening group R601A, and at least one privacy opening 601A of the blue opening group B601A is at least partially opposite to the privacy opening 601A of the green opening group G601A. In this way, the privacy opening 601A is arranged more regularly, and the color mixing effect of the corresponding red light-emitting device R, green light-emitting device G and blue light-emitting device B is better.
[0131] In other embodiments, referring to Figure 8, the red opening group R601A includes two privacy openings 601A, the green opening group G601A includes four privacy openings 601A, and the blue opening group B601A includes five privacy openings 601A. Thus, the red opening group R601A, the green opening group G601A, and the blue opening group B601A have fewer privacy openings 601A, allowing for more flexible arrangement and facilitating a better privacy design.
[0132] For example, in the red opening group R601A, the two privacy openings 601A are staggered in both the row and column directions. In the green opening group G601A, the four privacy openings 601A are arranged in two rows, with each row including two privacy openings 601A, and the privacy openings 601A in different rows are staggered in the column direction. In the blue opening group B601A, the five privacy openings 601A can be arranged in two rows, with one row including three privacy openings 601A and the other row including two privacy openings 601A, and the privacy openings 601A in different rows are staggered in the column direction. In this way, the spacing between the privacy openings 601A can be set to be relatively large, which is beneficial for achieving the privacy design. In the red opening group R601A, green opening group G601A, and blue opening group B601A, the distribution of the privacy openings 601A is relatively uniform, and the corresponding light-emitting devices 20 are also relatively uniformly distributed, resulting in good brightness uniformity.
[0133] The aforementioned red opening group R601A, green opening group G601A and blue opening group B601A may also include any other number of privacy openings 601A, and this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0134] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 6, 7, and 8, the touch layer 60 includes a first conductive layer 610, a second conductive layer 620, and an insulating layer 630. The second conductive layer 620 is located on the side of the first conductive layer 610 that is close to or far from the substrate 10, and the insulating layer 630 is disposed on the first conductive layer 610 and the second conductive layer 620. Figure 6 illustrates an example where the second conductive layer 620 is located on the side of the first conductive layer 610 that is far from the substrate 10. At least one of the first conductive layer 610 and the second conductive layer 620 is provided with a second opening 601. For example, both the first conductive layer 610 and the second conductive layer 620 are provided with a second opening 601.
[0135] The area of the first conductive layer 610 that blocks the display area A is 76% to 82%; and / or, the area of the second conductive layer 620 that blocks the display area A is 76% to 82%. For example, the area of the first conductive layer 610 that blocks the display area A is any one of 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, and 82%, and the area of the second conductive layer 620 that blocks the display area A is any one of 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, and 82%. In this way, the first conductive layer 610 and / or the second conductive layer 620 can cover a large area of the display area A to block the wide-angle light emitted by the light-emitting device 20, reduce the viewing angle of the display panel 100, and meet the user's privacy requirements.
[0136] The following example illustrates some embodiments of the present disclosure, with the second conductive layer 620 located on the side of the first conductive layer 610 away from the substrate 10. However, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this. The second conductive layer 620 can also be located on the side of the first conductive layer 610 closer to the substrate 10, as long as the same technical concept is applied.
[0137] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 9-12, the first conductive layer 610 includes a plurality of first patterns 81 spaced apart, and the second conductive layer 620 includes a plurality of second patterns 82 spaced apart. In an orthographic projection onto the substrate 10 (see FIG. 6), a first gap S1 is present between adjacent first patterns 81. The second patterns 82 may cover the first gaps S1, or the second patterns 82 may be at least partially offset from the first gaps S1.
[0138] Based on this, and referring to Figures 13, 14A, and 14B, the display panel 100 further includes a first light-shielding portion 71. The first light-shielding portion 71 is disposed on the side of the touch layer 60 near or away from the substrate 10 (see Figure 6). In the orthographic projection onto the substrate 10 (see Figure 6), the first light-shielding portion 71 covers the first gap S1 to prevent light emitted by the light-emitting device 20 from leaking out through the first gap S1, thereby reducing the risk of uneven brightness in the display panel 100 and improving the display effect. Figure 14A illustrates an example where the second conductive layer 620 is located on the side of the first conductive layer 610 away from the substrate 10, and Figure 14B illustrates an example where the second conductive layer 620 is located on the side of the first conductive layer 610 near the substrate 10.
[0139] The first light-shielding part 71 can be made of a non-conductive light-shielding material, which may include a black pigment (such as carbon black) and a matrix material such as an organic resin. For example, the light-shielding material may include black ink, which can prevent parasitic capacitance between the first light-shielding part 71 and the electrodes of the light-emitting device 20, and also provides a better light-shielding effect.
[0140] Example 1, as shown in Figure 11, the first conductive layer 610 includes a plurality of first touch electrode blocks 611 and second touch structures 62. The second conductive layer 620 includes a plurality of first connecting portions 612. In this case, one first touch electrode block 611 forms a first pattern 81, one second touch structure 62 forms a first pattern 81, and one first connecting portion 612 forms a second pattern 82. Furthermore, the first gap S1 may include the gap between the first touch electrode blocks 611 and the second touch structures 62. In this case, the first connecting portion 612 is located in the second conductive layer 620, and the first connecting portion 612 serves as a bridge electrode to connect the first touch electrode blocks 611 in the first conductive layer 610 in the first direction X.
[0141] The first conductive layer 610 may further include a second connecting portion 613, and the first touch electrode block 611 and the directly connected second connecting portion 613 form a first pattern 81. In this case, the first gap S1 may also include the gap between the second connecting portion 613 and the second touch structure 62.
[0142] Furthermore, the first conductive layer 610 may also include a first virtual electrode 811, which is at least partially disposed between the first touch electrode block 611 and the second touch electrode block 621. For example, the first virtual electrode 811 may be disposed between the first touch electrode block 611 and the second touch electrode block 621, and between the second connecting portion 613 and the second touch electrode block 621. The first virtual electrode 811 is suspended to reduce the risk of direct short circuit between the first touch electrode block 611 and the second touch structure 62. At this time, a first virtual electrode 811 also forms a first pattern 81. Moreover, the first gap S1 may also include the gap between the first virtual electrode 811 and the first touch electrode block 611, the first virtual electrode 811 and the second touch electrode block 621, and the second connecting portion 613 and the second touch structure 62. Of course, the first virtual electrode 811 can also be disposed between the second connecting part 613 and the second touch structure 62. In this case, the first gap S1 can also include the gap between the first virtual electrode 811 and the second connecting part 613.
[0143] In this article, "floating" means that the virtual electrode is neither connected to the positive terminal nor the negative terminal of the power supply, and is not connected to any circuit structure, and is in a suspended state.

In this case, one second virtual electrode 812 also forms a first pattern 81. Furthermore, the first gap S1 may include the gap between the first touch electrode block 611 and the second virtual electrode 812. In this configuration, by setting the second virtual electrode 812, the area of the first touch electrode block 611 can be adjusted, reducing the parasitic capacitance generated between the first touch structure 61 and other conductive structures (such as the second electrode 23), thereby improving the display effect.
[0145] The first conductive layer 610 may further include, for example, a third virtual electrode 813 (not shown in Figure 11), with the second touch electrode block 621 surrounding the third virtual electrode 813, and the third virtual electrode 813 floating in the air. In this case, one third virtual electrode 813 also forms a first pattern 81. Furthermore, the first gap S1 may also include the gap between the second touch electrode block 621 and the third virtual electrode 813. In this situation, by setting the third virtual electrode 813, the area of the second touch electrode block 621 can be adjusted, reducing the parasitic capacitance generated by the second touch structure 62 and other conductive structures (such as the second electrode 23), thereby improving the display effect.
[0146] Example 2, as shown in FIG12, the first conductive layer 610 includes a plurality of first touch structures 61, and the second conductive layer 620 includes a plurality of second touch structures 62. In this case, one first touch structure 61 forms a first pattern 81, and one second touch structure 62 forms a second pattern 82. In the orthographic projection onto the substrate 10 (see FIG6), there is a gap between the first touch electrode block 611 and the second touch electrode block 621. This first gap S1 may include the gap between the first touch electrode block 611 and the second touch structure 62.
[0147] Referring to Figure 12, the first conductive layer 610 may further include, for example, a second virtual electrode 812, with the first touch electrode block 611 surrounding the second virtual electrode 812, and the second virtual electrode 812 floating in the air. In this case, one second virtual electrode 812 also forms a first pattern 81. Furthermore, the first gap S1 may also include the gap between the first touch electrode block 611 and the second virtual electrode 812. In this situation, by setting the second virtual electrode 812, the area of the first touch electrode block 611 can be adjusted, reducing the parasitic capacitance generated between the first touch structure 61 and other conductive structures (such as the second electrode 23), thereby improving the display effect.
[0148] Referring to Figure 12, the second conductive layer 620 may further include, for example, a third virtual electrode 813, with the second touch electrode block 621 surrounding the third virtual electrode 813, and the third virtual electrode 813 floating in the air. In this case, one third virtual electrode 813 also forms a second pattern 82. Furthermore, the first gap S1 may also include the gap between the second touch electrode block 621 and the third virtual electrode 813. In this configuration, by setting the third virtual electrode 813, the area of the second touch electrode block 621 can be adjusted, reducing the parasitic capacitance generated by the second touch structure 62 and other conductive structures (such as the second electrode 23), thereby improving the display effect.
[0149] It should be noted that in any one or more of the examples above, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics can be combined in a suitable manner.
[0150] In other embodiments, referring to Figures 15-31, the first conductive layer 610 includes a plurality of first patterns 81 spaced apart, with a second gap S2 between the plurality of first patterns 81. The second conductive layer 620 includes a plurality of second patterns 82 spaced apart. In orthographic projection onto the substrate 10, the second patterns 82 cover the second gaps S2 to prevent light emitted by the light-emitting device 20 from leaking out from the second gaps S2, reducing the risk of uneven brightness in the display panel 100 and improving the display effect. In this case, the second gaps S2 can be shielded by the second patterns 82 of the second conductive layer 620, eliminating the need for additional film layers, which simplifies the process and reduces manufacturing costs.
[0151] Example 1, as shown in Figures 8-10 and 15-19, shows that the first conductive layer 610 includes a plurality of first touch electrode blocks 611 and a second touch structure 62. The second conductive layer 620 includes a plurality of first connecting portions 612 and at least one second light-shielding portion 72, the second light-shielding portion 72 covering the second gap S2. In this case, the plurality of first connecting portions 612 and the at least one second light-shielding portion 72 are of the same layer and material, and can be formed by the same patterning process. Furthermore, the first connecting portions 612 are located in the second conductive layer 620, and the first connecting portions 612 serve as bridge electrodes to connect the first touch electrode blocks 611 in the first conductive layer 610 in the first direction X.

[0155] In other examples, as shown in Figures 19 to 21B, all the gaps between the first touch electrode blocks 611 and the second touch structure 62 are blocked by a second light-shielding portion 72. That is, the second light-shielding portion 72 can completely cover the entire area of the display area A except for the areas where the multiple first connecting portions 612 and the second opening 601 are located, resulting in a better light-shielding effect.

In this case, the second gap S2 may also include the gap between the second connecting portion 613 and the second touch structure 62.
[0158] Furthermore, the first conductive layer 610 may also include a first virtual electrode 811, which is at least partially disposed between the first touch electrode block 611 and the second touch electrode block 621. For example, the first virtual electrode 811 may be disposed between the first touch electrode block 611 and the second touch electrode block 621, and between the second connecting portion 613 and the second touch electrode block 621. The first virtual electrode 811 is suspended to reduce the risk of direct short circuit between the first touch electrode block 611 and the second touch structure 62. At this time, a first virtual electrode 811 also forms a first pattern 81. Moreover, the second gap S2 may also include the gap between the first virtual electrode 811 and the first touch electrode block 611, the first virtual electrode 811 and the second touch electrode block 621, and the second connecting portion 613 and the second touch structure 62.

In this case, the second gap S2 can also include the gap between the first virtual electrode 811 and the second connecting part 613.
[0159] Referring to Figures 16 and 19, the first conductive layer 610 may further include, for example, a second virtual electrode 812, with the first touch electrode block 611 surrounding the second virtual electrode 812, and the second virtual electrode 812 floating in the air. In this case, one second virtual electrode 812 also forms a first pattern 81. Furthermore, the second gap S2 may also include the gap between the first touch electrode block 611 and the second virtual electrode 812. The effect of the second virtual electrode 812 is consistent with the above description, and will not be repeated here.

Furthermore, the second gap S2 may also include the gap between the second touch electrode block 621 and the third virtual electrode 813. The effect of the third virtual electrode 813 is consistent with the above description, and will not be repeated here.
[0161] Example 2, referring to Figures 22-25B, shows that the first conductive layer 610 includes a plurality of first touch structures 61, and the second conductive layer 620 includes a plurality of second touch structures 62. In this case, one first touch structure 61 forms a first pattern 81, and one second touch structure 62 forms a second pattern 82. In the orthographic projection onto the substrate 10, the second touch structures 62 cover the gaps between the first touch structures 61, that is, the first touch structures 61 cover the gaps between the second touch structures 62. The second gap S2 may include the gaps between the first touch structures 61. Figure 25A illustrates the case where the second conductive layer 620 is located on the side of the first conductive layer 610 away from the substrate 10, and Figure 25B illustrates the case where the second conductive layer 620 is located on the side of the first conductive layer 610 closer to the substrate 10.

In this case, one fourth virtual electrode 814 also forms a first pattern 81. The gaps between the first touch structures 61 include the gaps between the fourth virtual electrode 814 and the first touch structures 61. The placement of the fourth virtual electrode 814 helps to improve the consistency of the light emission path between the light emitted by the light-emitting device 20 in the area where the fourth virtual electrode 814 is located and the light emitted by the light-emitting device 20 in the area where the first touch structures 61 are located, thereby improving the brightness uniformity of the display panel 100.

In this case, one fifth virtual electrode 815 also forms a second pattern 82. The gaps between the second touch structures 62 include the gaps between the fifth virtual electrode 815 and the second touch structures 62. The placement of the fifth virtual electrode 815 helps to improve the consistency of the light emission path between the light emitted by the light-emitting device 20 in the area where the fifth virtual electrode 815 is located and the light emitted by the light-emitting device 20 in the area where the second touch structures 62 are located, thereby improving the brightness uniformity of the display panel 100.

This second gap S2 may include the gap between the first touch structures 61 and the fourth virtual electrode 814. Figure 29A illustrates the case where the second conductive layer 620 is located on the side of the first conductive layer 610 away from the substrate 10, and Figure 29B illustrates the case where the second conductive layer 620 is located on the side of the first conductive layer 610 close to the substrate 10.

The second conductive layer 620 includes a plurality of second touch structures 62 and a fifth virtual electrode 815. The fifth virtual electrode 815 and the second touch structures 62 cover at least part of the gaps between the plurality of first touch structures 61 to reduce the light emitted from the gaps between the plurality of first touch structures 61, reduce the risk of uneven brightness of the display panel 100, and improve the display effect.

The second conductive layer 620 does not include a fifth virtual electrode 815. The first touch structures 61 and the fourth virtual electrode 814 cover at least part of the gaps between the plurality of second touch structures 62 to reduce light emitted from the gaps between the plurality of second touch structures 62, thereby reducing the risk of uneven brightness in the display panel 100 and improving the display effect. This disclosure does not specifically limit the embodiments in this regard.

[0168] For example, as shown in Figures 29A and 29B, the fourth virtual electrode 814 is connected to the second touch structure 62. In this case, referring to Figure 30, the first conductive layer 610 may further include a sixth virtual electrode 816, which is disposed between the first touch structure 61 and the fourth virtual electrode 814, and is floating to reduce the risk of direct short circuit between the first touch electrode block 611 and the fourth virtual electrode 814.

The effect of the third virtual electrode 813 is consistent with the above description, and will not be repeated here.
[0173] In this document, the width of the gap between adjacent first patterns 81 in the first conductive layer 610 should be as small as possible. For example, the gap between adjacent first patterns 81 in the first conductive layer 610 should be smaller than the radial length of the second opening 601. For instance, the gap between adjacent first patterns 81 in the first conductive layer 610 should be less than or equal to 0.03 μm. Similarly, the width of the gap between adjacent second patterns 82 in the second conductive layer 620 should be as small as possible. For instance, the gap between adjacent second patterns 82 in the second conductive layer 620 should be smaller than the radial length of the second opening 601. For instance, the gap between adjacent second patterns 82 in the second conductive layer 620 should be less than or equal to 0.03 μm.

Of course, a plurality of privacy openings 601A can also communicate with the gap between the first patterns 81, and this embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit this.

In this case, during the fabrication of the touch layer 60, there are more patterns with the same structure and consistent process parameters, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency.
[0176] Furthermore, a second opening 601 can be provided on the first touch electrode block 611, the second touch electrode block 621, the first virtual electrode 811, the second virtual electrode 812, the third virtual electrode 813, the fourth virtual electrode 814, the fifth virtual electrode 815, the sixth virtual electrode 816, and the seventh virtual electrode 817, which helps to improve the brightness uniformity of the display panel 100.
