[0048] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages to be solved by the embodiments of the present application more clear, the following will be described in detail in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0049] As shown in Figure 1 The film layer stack structure of the binding area (PAD area) of the existing display panel includes: a first flexible substrate 01, a second flexible substrate 02, a gate insulating layer 03, a gate metal layer 04, an interlayer insulating layer 05, wherein the gate metal layer 04 is used as a signal trace, the interlayer insulating layer 05 is punched, a via hole is formed, and a first source-drain metal layer is deposited in the via hole to form a binding pin 07, and the binding of the driving circuit and the signal trace is realized through the binding pin 07. The above structure has the following problems: 1) the material of the gate metal layer 04 is relatively brittle, and folding and bending easily cause disconnection; 2) there is an inorganic layer (interlayer insulating layer 05 and gate insulating layer 03) in the PAD area, and crack is easily generated when folding and bending. The existence of these problems makes the flexible screen PAD area unable to be folded and bent.

[0050] The embodiments of the present application provide a display panel and a manufacturing method thereof, and a display device, which can realize the folding and bending of the PAD area, and further realize curved display.

[0051] The embodiments of the present application provide a display panel, as shown in Figure 2 The display panel includes a display area (i.e. AA area) and a binding area (i.e. PAD area) located at the periphery of the display area, the binding area includes at least two stacked flexible substrates, and a signal trace arranged between adjacent flexible substrates, the signal trace is connected with a binding pin through a via hole penetrating the flexible substrates, and the binding pin is located at the outermost side of the at least two stacked flexible substrates.

[0052] In the embodiments, the binding area includes at least two stacked flexible substrates, and a signal trace arranged between adjacent flexible substrates, the flexible substrates are made of organic material, so that there is no inorganic layer in the binding area, and crack is not easily generated when folding and bending; in addition, the signal trace between the flexible substrates is located in the middle of the PAD area stack structure, at the position of the neutral layer, and is not easily broken when bending, so that the binding area can be folded and bent, and the multi-form change of the PAD area is realized to match the curved display panel. The present application can significantly reduce the risk of disconnection of the PAD area folding deformation, and improve the product yield.

[0053] In the embodiment, the binding area can include two layers of flexible substrates, or three or more layers of flexible substrates, and the flexible substrates are generally made of polyimide. When the binding area includes two layers of flexible substrates, the binding area includes a layer of signal lines between the two layers of flexible substrates; when the binding area includes three or more layers of flexible substrates, the binding area can include multiple layers of signal lines between each two adjacent flexible substrates, or only one layer of signal lines between two layers of flexible substrates. When the binding area includes multiple layers of signal lines, the adjacent two layers of signal lines can be connected through vias penetrating the flexible substrates.

[0054] In addition, in the embodiment, not only the binding area includes at least two layers of stacked flexible substrates, but also the base of other areas of the display panel is of the same structure as the binding area, that is, the base of other areas of the display panel also includes at least two layers of stacked flexible substrates, but the signal lines can not be arranged between the flexible substrates of the other areas such as the display area; of course, in order to reduce the occupied area of the signal lines, the signal lines can also be arranged between the adjacent two layers of flexible substrates in the display area of the display panel.

[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 in the binding area of the display panel, at least two layers of stacked flexible substrates include a first flexible substrate 01 and a second flexible substrate 02 arranged in layers, the binding area further includes a signal line 08 between the first flexible substrate 01 and the second flexible substrate 02, the first flexible substrate 01 is provided with a binding pin 07 on the side surface away from the second flexible substrate 02, and the signal line 08 is connected with the binding pin 07 through a via penetrating the first flexible substrate 01.

[0056] In the embodiment, the via penetrating the first flexible substrate 01 can be formed by using a photolithography process, the via exposes the signal line 08, then a source / drain metal layer is formed on the first flexible substrate 01, the source / drain metal layer is patterned, the source / drain metal layer is deposited in the via, and a binding pin 07 is formed on the first flexible substrate 01 to be connected with the driving chip 06 to realize the transmission of driving signals.

[0057] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 in the binding area of the display panel, a first flexible substrate 01, a second flexible substrate 02 and a third flexible substrate 13 arranged in layers are arranged, a signal line 08 is arranged between the first flexible substrate 01 and the second flexible substrate 02, and a signal line 08 is arranged between the second flexible substrate 02 and the third flexible substrate 13. Different layers of signal lines 08 can be connected together through a via penetrating the second flexible substrate 02, so as to reduce the resistance of the signal lines 08.

[0058] The first flexible substrate 01 is provided with a binding pin 07 on the side surface away from the second flexible substrate 02, and the signal wire 08 is connected with the binding pin 07 through a via hole penetrating the first flexible substrate 01.

[0059] In the embodiment, the via hole penetrating the first flexible substrate 01 is formed by using a photoetching process, the via hole exposes the signal wire 08, then a source-drain metal layer is formed on the first flexible substrate 01, the source-drain metal layer is patterned, the source-drain metal layer is deposited in the via hole, and the binding pin 07 is formed on the first flexible substrate 01 to be connected with the driving chip 06 to realize the transmission of the driving signal.

[0060] In the embodiment, the signal wire can be made of metal with good conductivity, such as Al, Mo, Au, Ag, etc. In some embodiments, the signal wire can be made of Al with a thickness of 0.5-0.6 um. Al has the advantages of good toughness, high tensile strength, etc., can be folded, and meets the needs of flexible display; in addition, the thickness of Al is 0.5-0.6 um, which can ensure that the wire resistance of the signal wire is small and can reduce the loss of signal transmission. In the embodiment, the signal wire between adjacent flexible substrates is located at the neutral layer position of the film layer structure, and is neither stretched nor compressed when folded, which can well protect the signal wire from being folded and broken, and can be folded and bent on the front and back surfaces at the same time, as shown in Figure 5 .

[0061] In related technologies, when the via hole of the binding area is made, a punching process is used to punch, and the diameter of the via hole made by the punching process is 25±15 um. The large hole diameter is not conducive to the arrangement of the wire, limits the number of wires, and is not conducive to the narrowing of the lower edge PAD area of the flexible display panel. In the embodiment, since the via hole is made by using a photoetching process, the hole diameter of the via hole is small, and the hole diameter of the via hole is 4-6 um, which is conducive to the arrangement of the wire and the narrowing of the lower edge PAD area of the flexible display panel.

[0062] In some embodiments, the line width of the signal wire is greater than or equal to 3 um, which can effectively reduce the resistance of the signal wire and be conducive to the transmission of the driving signal; the distance between adjacent signal wires is greater than or equal to 3 um, which can avoid the interference between adjacent signal wires.

[0063] In some embodiments, the thickness of the flexible substrate can be 6-10 um, which can ensure that the binding area has a certain structural strength and will not make the thickness of the binding area too large.

[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 , the display panel further comprises:

[0065] A protective film 10 is located at the outermost side of the at least two laminated flexible substrates, the protective film 10 is made of a waterproof erosion-resistant material and can protect the binding area, the protective film 10 includes a hollow area exposing the binding pins and does not affect the connection between the driving chip and the binding pins. In order to better protect the display panel, the protective film can cover both surfaces of the binding area, that is, the protective film is located at the outermost side of the at least two flexible substrates, as shown in Figure 4 The protective film is also located on the surface away from the second flexible substrate 02 of the third flexible substrate 13.

[0066] Embodiments of the present application also provide a display device comprising the display panel as described above.

[0067] The display device includes but is not limited to a radio frequency unit, a network module, an audio output unit, an input unit, a sensor, a display unit, a user input unit, an interface unit, a memory, a processor, and a power supply, etc. Those skilled in the art can understand that the structure of the display device described above does not constitute a limitation on the display device, and the display device can include more or fewer components described above, or combine some components, or different component arrangements. In the embodiments of the present application, the display device includes but is not limited to a display, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, a wearable electronic device, a navigation display device, etc.

[0068] The display device can be a television, a display, a digital photo frame, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc. Any product or component with display function, wherein the display device further includes a flexible circuit board, a printed circuit board, and a back plate.

[0069] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The display device further includes a driving chip 06, and the binding pins 07 are bound to the driving chip 06 through an ACF (Anisotropic Conductive Film) 11. If the binding pins 07 are bound to the driving chip 06 by using a gold-tin eutectic welding process, it needs to be performed in a vacuum environment, which has high requirements on the equipment environment, slow production speed, and low efficiency. In the present embodiment, the binding pins 07 are pressed together with the driving chip 06 by using the ACF 11, which does not require a vacuum environment, has fast production speed, high efficiency, and low cost.

[0070] Four-sided curved surface display products are the trend of the market. In related technologies, the placement position of the PAD area after the flexible display panel is attached along the arc surface of the packaging cover plate is a big technical problem, because the wiring in the PAD area is fragile and cannot be bent and folded. As shown in Figure 6As shown, the wiring structure of the PAD area of the embodiment can be folded at any angle to match the shape of the four-edge curved packaging cover plate; wherein 14 is a display panel, in order to realize narrow frame, the PAD area 15 is folded to the back of the display panel, it can be seen that the PAD area can be folded with the display panel, in the part of the PAD area 15 and the driving chip 06 binding, due to the existence of the driving chip 06, it cannot be folded. The PAD area of the embodiment can be placed along the arc surface of the packaging cover plate, which can reduce the space occupied by the PAD area in the whole machine, provide more space for the layout of the battery, devices and the like of the whole display device, and has the advantages of improving the endurance of the display device.

[0077] In the embodiment, the binding area includes at least two layers of flexible substrates and signal wires arranged between the adjacent flexible substrates, and the flexible substrates are organic materials, so that there is no inorganic layer in the binding area, and crack is not easy to occur when folding and bending; in addition, the signal wires between the flexible substrates are located in the middle of the PAD area stacking structure and are at the neutral layer position, and are not easy to break when bending, so that the binding area can be bent and folded, and the PAD area can change in multiple forms to match the curved display panel. The present application can significantly reduce the risk of folding deformation and disconnection of the PAD area, and improve the yield of products.

[0078] In the embodiment, the binding area can include two layers of flexible substrates, or three or more layers of flexible substrates, and the flexible substrates are generally polyimide. When the binding area includes two layers of flexible substrates, the binding area includes a layer of signal wires located between the two layers of flexible substrates; when the binding area includes three or more layers of flexible substrates, the binding area can include multiple layers of signal wires located between the adjacent two layers of flexible substrates, or can include only one layer of signal wires located between two layers of flexible substrates. When the binding area includes multiple layers of signal wires, the adjacent two layers of signal wires can be connected through the via penetrating the flexible substrates.

[0079] In addition, in the embodiment, the binding area includes at least two layers of stacked flexible substrates, and the base of other areas of the display panel is of the same structure as the binding area, that is, the base of other areas of the display panel also includes at least two layers of stacked flexible substrates, but the signal lines can not be arranged between the flexible substrates of the other areas such as the display area; of course, in order to reduce the area occupied by the signal lines, the signal lines can also be arranged between the adjacent two layers of flexible substrates in the display area of the display panel.

[0080] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 In the binding area of the display panel, the at least two layers of stacked flexible substrates include the first flexible substrate 01 and the second flexible substrate 02 arranged in layers, and the at least two layers of flexible substrates arranged in layers formed on the rigid substrate include:

[0084] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0085] The protective film located at the outermost side of the at least two layers of stacked flexible substrates is formed, and the protective film includes a hollow area exposing the binding pin. The protective film 10 is made of a waterproof erosion-resistant material and can protect the binding area. The protective film 10 includes a hollow area exposing the binding pin and does not affect the connection between the driving chip and the binding pin. In order to better protect the display panel, the protective film can cover both surfaces of the binding area, that is, the protective film is located at the outermost side of the at least two layers of flexible substrates, as shown in Figure 4 The protective film is also located on the side surface of the third flexible substrate 13 away from the second flexible substrate 02.

[0086] In a specific example, the manufacturing method of the display panel of the embodiment includes the following steps:

[0087] Step 1, as shown in Figure 7 The rigid substrate 09 is provided, and the second flexible substrate 02 is formed on the rigid substrate 09;

[0088] The rigid substrate 09 can be a glass substrate or a quartz substrate. The second flexible substrate 02 can be formed by a coating process, and has a thickness of 6-10 um and can be made of polyimide.

[0089] Step 2, as shown in the figure, a source-drain metal layer is formed on the second flexible substrate 02, and the source-drain metal layer is patterned to form a signal trace 08. Figure 8

[0090] Specifically, the metal Al can be deposited by a magnetron sputtering method, and has a thickness of 0.5-0.6 um. A dry etching process is used to form a corresponding pattern, and the trace width formed by the dry etching process can be as small as 3 um and the pitch can be 3 um.
