Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that the specific implementation methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0039] In recent years, the development trend of display panels is towards borderless display, especially borderless display panels used in spliced displays, which have better display effects and are favored by users. In order to reduce the borders, the current mainstream method is to introduce a double-sided process and use the side printing technology of conductive silver glue to achieve the conduction of the front and back wiring of the display panel. However, the pad printing or transfer process of the conductive silver glue is difficult, resulting in low precision of the conductive silver glue after side printing, or additional laser etching process is required on the side, resulting in low yield of the side conductive lines, which reduces the quality of the display panel.
[0040] See also Figures 1 to 6 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a display panel 100, comprising:
[0041] Substrate 200;
[0042] A first circuit layer 300 is located on a first side of the substrate 200;
[0043] A second circuit layer 400 is located on the second side of the substrate 200; and
[0044] A conductive film 500 , located on a side of the display panel 100 , wherein the conductive film 500 is electrically connected to the first circuit layer 300 and the second circuit layer 400 ;
[0045] The elongation at break of the conductive film 500 is greater than the elongation at break of the metal wire in the first circuit layer 300 , and the elongation at break of the conductive film 500 is greater than the elongation at break of the metal wire in the second circuit layer 400 .
[0046] The present invention independently manufactures a flexible conductive film and utilizes a bonding process to electrically connect the flexible conductive film with a first circuit layer and a second circuit layer, thereby realizing circuit conduction between the front and back sides of a display panel. The flexible conductive film has a large elongation at break and is easy to bend and bond, and is easy to transfer and bond, thereby reducing the difficulty of the process, achieving a narrow frame, improving the yield of the side conductive circuits, and improving the quality of the display panel.
[0047] The technical solution of the present invention is now described in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0048] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The display panel 100 includes a first circuit layer 300, a second circuit layer 400, and a substrate 200 located between the first circuit layer 300 and the second circuit layer 400. The display panel 100 also includes a conductive film 500 located on the side of the display panel 100, and the conductive film 500 is electrically connected to the first circuit layer 300 and the second circuit layer 400; wherein the elongation at break of the conductive film 500 is greater than the elongation at break of the metal wire in the first circuit layer 300, and the elongation at break of the conductive film 500 is greater than the elongation at break of the metal wire in the second circuit layer 400. The flexible conductive film 500 is independently manufactured, and the manufactured conductive film 500 can be more convenient to have a flexible property. By using the bonding process, the circuit conduction of the front and back sides of the display panel 100 is realized. The flexible conductive film 500 has a large elongation at break, is easy to bend and bond, and is easy to transfer and bond, which reduces the process difficulty and realizes a narrow frame.
[0049] In some embodiments, if the conductive film 500 is only wires, the flexibility and bendability need to be further improved.
[0050] See also Figure 2 The conductive film 500 includes a plurality of conductive units 510 arranged at intervals, and the conductive units 510 include a plurality of openings 520 .
[0051] By using yellow light and wet etching process when manufacturing the conductive film 500, the conductive film 500 can be patterned to form a plurality of openings 520, thereby further improving the elongation at break of the conductive film 500 and reducing stress. The greater the elongation at break, the less likely it is to be broken, and the corresponding flexibility and fit are higher, thereby improving the flexibility of the conductive film 500, further improving the bending properties, further strengthening the fit, reducing the process difficulty, and achieving a narrow frame.
[0052] In some embodiments, the elongation at break of the conductive film 500 is greater than 10%, the elongation at break of the metal wires in the first circuit layer 300 is less than 5%, and the elongation at break of the metal wires in the second circuit layer 400 is less than 5%.
[0053] In some embodiments, the conductive unit 510 includes a first bending area and a first straight area, and the number density of the openings 520 in the first bending area is greater than the number density of the openings 520 in the first straight area. Increasing the number density of the openings 520 in the bending area and the first straight area improves the flexibility of the conductive film 500 in the bending area and the first straight area, and further improves the bending characteristics.
[0054] In some embodiments, the size of the opening 520 in the first bending region is larger than the size of the opening 520 in the first straight region. Increasing the size of the opening 520 in the bending region improves the flexibility of the conductive film 500 in the bending region and further improves the bending properties.
[0055] In some embodiments, the thickness of the conductive film 500 is 0.1 μm to 1 μm, which is much thinner than the thickness of general silver paste materials, which is conducive to improving bending, further strengthening the fitting, reducing the difficulty of the process, and achieving a narrow frame.
[0056] In some embodiments, if the material of the conductive film 500 is a traditional silver paste material, it still faces the technical problem of inconvenient transfer.
[0057] The conductive film 500 is a conductive metal, such as a low-resistance metal such as Cu, Ag, etc., which can be a pure metal or an alloy. The metal is easy to pattern and thin metal has good flexibility, so as to further improve the elongation at break of the conductive film 500, improve the flexibility of the conductive film 500, further improve the bending property, further strengthen the bonding, reduce the process difficulty, and achieve a narrow frame.
[0058] In some embodiments, when the metal wires on the front and back of the display panel 100 are connected to the conductive film 500, precise alignment is required. If only the wires are connected, the process required is more difficult, which is not conducive to improving production efficiency.
[0059] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 The first circuit layer 300 includes a plurality of first conductive wires 310 and a plurality of first terminals 320 corresponding to the plurality of first conductive wires 310; the second circuit layer 400 includes a plurality of second conductive wires 410 and a plurality of second terminals 420 corresponding to the plurality of second conductive wires 410; wherein a conductive unit 510 is electrically connected to a first terminal 320 and a second terminal 420.
[0060] The first terminal 320 and the second terminal 420 are arranged on the front and back of the display panel 100, and the conductive unit 510 is electrically connected to the first wire 310 through the first terminal 320, and the conductive unit 510 is electrically connected to the second wire 410 through the second terminal 420, so as to realize the electrical connection between the first wire 310 and the second wire 410, and finally realize the circuit conduction between the front and back of the display panel 100, which is easy to bend and fit, reduces the process difficulty, improves the production efficiency, and realizes a narrow frame.
[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 The first terminal 320 and the conductive unit 510, as well as the second terminal 420 and the conductive unit 510, can be electrically connected by melting the metal by heating without using other materials. The materials of the first terminal 320, the second terminal 420 and the conductive unit 510 can be the same material, which is beneficial to connection stability and circuit uniformity.
[0062] In some embodiments, the first terminal 320 and the conductive unit 510, as well as the second terminal 420 and the conductive unit 510, are electrically connected by molten metal, which may require a relatively high temperature and a corresponding cooling system, which requires additional expenses.
[0063] See also Figure 5 The display panel 100 further includes a first conductive adhesive 610 located between the conductive unit 510 and the first terminal 320 , and a second conductive adhesive 620 located between the conductive unit 510 and the second terminal 420 .
[0064] The connection to the corresponding points is performed by using conductive adhesive, and the material of the first conductive adhesive 610 and the second conductive adhesive 620 can be ACF (Anisotropic Conductive Film), which facilitates the bonding and conduction between the terminals and improves production efficiency.
[0065] In some embodiments, the first terminal 320 may be located between the first wire 310 and the conductive unit 510, and the second terminal 420 may be located between the second wire 410 and the conductive unit 510; the first terminal 320 may be located between the substrate 200 and the conductive unit 510, and the second terminal 420 may be located between the second wire 410 and the conductive unit 510. For example, the second terminal 420 may be located between the substrate 200 and the conductive unit 510. The first conductive adhesive 610 and the second conductive adhesive 620 are also located between the corresponding terminals and the conductive unit 510. It can be determined according to different specific actual processes. Here, taking the first terminal 320 being located between the first wire 310 and the conductive unit 510 as an example, please refer to Figures 2 to 5 .
[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 A non-conductive adhesive layer 630 may be provided on the side of the display panel 100 corresponding to the conductive film 500. The adhesive layer 630 is located between the display panel 100 and the conductive film 500. The adhesive layer 630 is a non-conductive medium, which provides better insulation properties, reduces the risk of short circuit with other circuits, and further strengthens the adhesion between the conductive film 500 and the display panel 100.
[0067] In some embodiments, the distance between two adjacent conductive units 510 is 6 μm to 30 μm, the width of the conductive unit 510 is 6 μm to 30 μm, and the ratio of the diameter of the opening 520 to the width of the conductive unit 510 is 1:2 to 1:3.
[0068] By setting the size of the opening 520 , the line width and the line spacing, the bending flexibility of the conductive film 500 is improved, and the conductive film 500 is easy to bend and fit, which reduces the process difficulty, improves the production efficiency, and realizes a narrow frame.
[0069] In some embodiments, the side surface of the display panel 100 is easily squeezed or collided, which may cause damage to the conductive film 500 .
[0070] See also Figure 6 The display panel 100 further includes an organic protective layer 700 located on a side of the conductive film 500 away from the substrate 200 .
[0071] The conductive film 500 is protected by utilizing the elasticity and film protection function of the organic protective layer 700 .
[0072] In some embodiments, the organic protective layer 700 is an insulating material, such as epoxy resin or polyimide, and can be black and opaque or colorless and transparent, and can be used according to actual needs. The thickness of the organic protective layer 700 is 3 μm to 20 μm.

[0078] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The display panel 100 further includes a cover plate 920 located on the light emitting device layer 910 .
